Lewis, 'M. D.,' Born in Lagos, W. Africa, Religious Fanatic, Alleged. Luridly touched with an international glamour, and bringing to real life the facts stressed on the stage in the religious drama, "Roseanne," playing at a local theater this week. Dr. David D. Lewis, born in Africa, and known in various sections of this country and Canada, along with his young and pretty wife, will leave the city Friday morning for Canada, at the "request" of local immigration authorities. The facts which led up to his summary departure bare the melodramatic career of an alleged "fanatic" whose personality and particular appeal to women's emotions, resulted in the spotlight of publicity being thrown on his "clinics." This investigation revealed an alleged "get rich quick" idea. Dr. Lewis was the brains of the organization, ni attractive wife the lure, and several young local girls the "pawns" in the game. Operated "Health Clinics" Dr. Lewis and his wife were arrested last week following alleged charges of immorality lodged against Mrs. Lewis, after she had offered herself for sale to a police officer, who, it is claimed, visited one of the several "clinics", run in the town, for the purpose of obtaining a message, Mrs. Lewis' offer followed the treatment, and charges were placed against her.

P.)—That the lynching record for 1923, numbering 28 victims, is the lowest in the 40 years during which the records have been kept and is only about one-third as high as the average for that period, is the statement of the Commission on inter-racial Co-operation, with head quarters in this city. The next lowest record was 88 in 1917, the highest was 255 in 1892, and the average for the 40-year period has been 109. The commission points out also that the area affected is steadily being reduced from 33 states in 1892 to nine last year. The commission believes that public sentiment and faithful officials are determined to put an end to lynchings.

Nothing was greater test of the ministerial business leadership of Dr. J. C. Austin, the President and Founder of the Home Finders League and his assistant, Rev. M. S. Hunter, president and founder of the Steel City Banking Company, than the unanimous support of the more than four hundred stockholders who were gathered in session at the Ebenezer Church, the place of formation of the Home Finders League about four years ago. The act of not having one disentaining vote in such a mammoth meeting is far-reaching and beneficial in its effect upon the morale of the institutions. Many who had partially paid stock contracts in the Home Finders-League are now paying them up rapidly, some taking preferred shares that guarantee six per cent dividends each year, while others are taking the common and remaining one of the original owners and promoters. Many depositors are adding to their savings accounts and many new accounts are being open as the result of the combine.

Need Trained Business Men, Speaker-Bays Migration of Negro From South Having a Beneficial Reaction, Declares White Georgian. ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 28-Remarks by Mr. George J. Baldwin president of the Sav...mah Board of Trade, in an address before the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce at its recent annual banquet indicated that the migration of the Negro from the South is having a beneficial reaction on that section. A more favorable attitude is being developed in many sections. Declaring that the greatest need of Georgia today is "trained leaders," Mr. Baldwin said: "The highest need of our state is trained leaders, of men of courage. It is not in our fields, our mines and our forests, which make a State prosperous and happy, it is not in our power companies, our railways, our communities, our farms, our mills, our towns. We must make Georgia great. These are the most tools men use in building their communities and their homes. The true factories of our prosperity are our home in which mothers and fathers are building the character of our future citizens." Keep the Negro Mr. Baldwin declared that the prosperity of Georgia and the south depends upon keeping the Negro here. It is either to hold the Negro tro in the south or to replace him by immigration from Europe, "which brings with it the bolshevist and anarchist," he said. "This economic question will settle itself." Mr. Baldwin said, "We can afford to pay the Negro as good wages as in any other section of the country, measured by the quality of the services he renders. When this is known the question will be settled." White WomenMay Get "Rights" In S. Africa Race Men and Women. However, Denied Right of Suffrage. CAPETOWN, South Africa, Feb. 2S—(By A. N.

Prisoners Renew Hope For Freedom Investigations in Crowd Association of Geiton President Coolidge. LEAVENVORTH, Kansas, Feb. 28—(By A. N. P.) A ray of hope illumines the breasts of the former 24th Infantry men who are imprisoned here as a result of the Houston riots. The war department has sent two special investigators, Major James Stanfield and Major F. R. Ross to investigate the cases of 177 ex-servicemen who are confined in the military prison here having been convicted of various crimes. The former 24th men are included in the number. The investigation follows the presentation of a petition requesting 400 signatures to President Coolidge in behalf of the former regulars. F. R. the men feel it is fortunate that considerable organized agitation is being carried on at this time for the liberation of "war" military prisoners convicted here and in France.

J., Feb. 28—Mack Brown of Philadelphia came to Newark Saturday night to seek his wife. He found her, but it cost him his life. Brown was murdered Sunday night in his wife's home. Monday police were searching for Luther J. Maddox of the same address, who, it was alleged, fired a shot which pierced Brown's heart. Husband Waits Detectives who investigated the case, learned that Mrs. Brown came to Newark two months ago. Saturday night, Brown arrived here and found his wife Sunday morning at her home. Maddox was not in the house at the time, but Brown, who made the trip after rumors of "intimate relationship" between his wife and the other man, decided to wait to question Maddox concerning his alleged relations with Mrs. Brown. When the woman's alleged "lover" arrived, he evidently sensed trouble, and after a few words, fired the fatal shot as Brown walked towards him. He then made his escape. The dead man's wife says there was nothing improper in connection with her friendship with the alleged murderer. Minister To Lecture On Garvey Movement WILLIAM H. FERRIS NEW YORK.

A frail white woman of "repelling boldness—a studious looking Negro with an intelligent face" love—and prejudice! Queer principals for a stage drama, but Eugene O'Neill believes in the unusual. In his L.test drama "All Gods Chillun Got Wins," he undertakes to convince New York that art is higher than prejudice, and drama should be drawn from life, oven, though the picture is often sordid and undesirable. Mr. Oneill has a difficult task! The news that the drama was based on the inter-racial marriage question set the white press to weaving long stories of conjuration as to whom the goth would select to play the part of the girl "Ella Boyne." A woman in a white dress and a white prides herself on such an accomplishment. But American prejudice is one thing and versatility is another. "If versatility means playing opposite a Negro leading man, then versatility be hanged," they argue. Yet out of the glittering mass of white artists, there has appeared one who seems bold enough, or, maybe, 'brave' enough, to face the critical white audience of more critical Broadway as the devoted wife of a Negro. She is Miss Mary Blair, of Pittsburgh, a former student in the Carnegie School of Technology. Miss Blair evidently believes in art for art's sake, for she (Continued on Page 5, Col. 1) Francis Submits Plan To Congress For Islands Rule Francis Submits Plan To Congress For Islands Rule WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.—Rothschild Francis, executive chairman of the Virgin Islands Commission, Monday gave copies of a draft for a permanent form of government in the Virgin Islands of the United States to Louis W.

Mr. Washington was 'highly respected and deeply loved in the community, as was indicated by the many business enterprises in the Institute.' He was the funeral and by the large number of friends who came from all sections of the state to pay their last respects. Another evidence was that he designed sent as tributes of love and esteem by friends and organizations. Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal, who returned from New York City to 'further' a funeral, in discussing the life, the death, the spoke of his devotion to his brother and referred to his thirty-odd years of service to Tuskegee Institute, declaring that "the two shares in much other the specific care of hardship necessary in the founding and development of this institution."

Later he was relieved of these duties and appointed to position of Indian position he held until 1915, when following his brother's death, he suffered a general breakdown in health. The trustees of the Institute in recognition of his service to the institution used his retirement from active service at full salary. Active in Early Days. Many stories are told of Mr. Washington's activities in the early days which show his interest in the work here. Dr. Booker T. Washington writing in the Southern Workman, journal, concerns his work, said, "The interest which my brother has taken in the development of Tuskegee and his determination to carry through is thing which he has begun are illustrated in the establishment of the Tuskegee Institute, was useful for us to do foundry work here, and to teach it to the student. He showed so much enthusiasm on the subject that when the Alabama Polytechnic School at Auburn was formed they their foundry, they offered to give their old one to us. When some of us who were not so enthusiastic as my brother on the subject of foundry work, thought the experiment having so heavy an object freighted over from Auburn here, he took an ox-trailer and went it and brought it himself. The copula was set up and the foundry work has been an important developed that it now is an important part of the Industrial Department. Brother's Estimate. In the course of his work, the apprentice of industries has seen times found it necessary to make great exertions to push a building to completion against the time it was needed, especially when at times unavoidable delays have occurred when the new chapel was to be dedicated. He worked all night to direct the work and I have heard him say that when the line, was formed on the grounds, to march to the chapel on the day of dedication, the stone of the men were just placed on the ground of destruction from the building, and that they went out the back as the head of the procession entered the front. Hard as it has sometimes been to do it, I believe it has never disappointed the good in having a building ready for the appointed time.

CONSUL IN E. AFRICA UNDER CLEVELAND Promoted Liberian Development Company—Once Was Paid $150,000 in Gold Coin. NEW YORK. Feb. 25—Henry Francis Downing, 78, Civil War veteran, United States Consul to St. Paul de la Luz, Portuguese West Africa, during President Cleveland's first administration, and later a wealthy shareholder in the Liberian Development Company, Ltd., today is in such need of funds that he is seeking special legislation that will enable him to collect $80 "bounty" for his Civil War services. Representative Royal H. Weller will offer a bill to cover the peculiar case of Downing to whom honour is denied on the ground that his constituent never was actually drafted, although he was in the draft age. This man was Jacob H. Wharton, who lived in Brooklyn and was Downing's step-father. The outcome of substitution was that he may have taken a hand in the game. According to Downing, Wharton was "afraid to go to war" and employed him as substitute, feeling certain he would have to go to war unless he sent him with Overtakes Draft Evander Downen enlisted in the navy August 23, 1854, and saw service abroad the Pawtucket and the Winoska. His first leave of absence, obtained at his mother's request, December 2, 1854, to attend the funeral of Wharton. die in Downing said his mother would not let him return to his ship, and although the war was over and the government was anxious to get as many men as possible off his pay, quietly he was listed as a deserter. The charge of desertion was removed by the Secretary of the Navy in March, 1921, and a certificate of discharge was issued to For Coughs and Colds, Headaches, Neuralgia, Rheumatism and All Aches and Pains ALL DRUGGISTS 35c and 65c jars and tubes Hospital size, $3.00 BROTHER 0 YEARS OTHER YEARS Years STRICTLY THE over Spring solid re seats.

Then it was bound that Wharton paper had been dislabeled and Downey paper not entitled to any money from the government. After he resigned his Consultship, Downing returned to this country and told President Cleveland that Liberia should gg United States capital and begin developing its resources and raw materials, or other resources. He also dealt. Downing said, gave him $500, promised him more if he needed it, and told him to go ahead and get busy. Vexed by Too Much Money Downing was unable to interest any capital in this country and later went to London, where he succeeded. The Liberian Development Company at one time paid him $150,000 by check. Downing said he didn't know much about money then, but thought he would prefer gold, and had an idea he would buy it personally. He demanded payment in gold, received the gold, then returned it and asked for a check because there was too much gold for his pocket's. Downing says he finally interested the United States Government in Liberia and was in triumph in having Liberia, send here the commissioner, corresponded with President Roosevelt. Downing is a grandson of Thomas Downing, who, during the great fire here in 1835, gave to the city a cellar full of vigneron which was used for cooking. Downing corresponded to Downing, James Gordon Bennett, now dead, was "almost broke and his newspaper, the "Herald, was about to go to smash." "Mr. Bennett," Downing continued, "has many friends, but without success. Finally Thomas Downing sent him a check for $20,000 and saved the Herald." Downing, a picturesque figure with snow white hair, looks twenty years old and is in excellent health. He lives at No. 227 West 1938 street with his wife. He has no children.

While the play is absolutely modern as regards characterization action and environment it is fashioned after the model of the Ancient Moral Plays. Interperised with music and songs the play is of such dramatic and stirring intensity as to appeal to all intelligent play-goers. The title role is intended to typify womankind everywhere. All the other characters in the play are symbolical of various abstractions, tones and conditions and are also concrete types of actual and women of the present day. In the first scene we find "Every Woman" surrounded by the three characters dear to every feminine heart, Youth, Beauty and Modesty. Flattery appears, "Every Woman" listens to him and goes in the path of Love regardless of warnings coming from "Nobody" her Modesty" and Truth" whom she calls a witch beloved by "Nobody". Her guilt leads "Every Woman" to the gay white way where in the chateau profession as actress the becomes a star. Here a beauty chorus of some of Pittsburgh's most beautiful girls is introduced, also some silver candy by Bluff and Stuff, theatre managers. Here also "Every Woman" is sought by "Wealth", "Passion" and Lord Willis" representing title but "Love" is still unfounded. "Modesty" is finally beached from the theatre being considered out of place—too pristine and pitted. "Every Woman" entertains lavishly at her new home. A banquet must precede one of the most dramatic climaxes in the play, where "Every Woman" is the height of her fame and popularity with her "Modesty" found suddenly finds "Youth" growing faint and "Beauty" dying. After her death of both these companions the predictions of "Nobody" and that would come a time when "Every Woman, distracted by Youth and beauty" and with "Modesty" forgotten would find that Nobody was her friend is realized by "Every Woman". In a now storm on New Year's Eve we find her forsaken on the streets of the great city, alone amid the throngs of merry makers. Here Turtle find her and leads her back to her old home where "Love" has been rented to crown her his queen and Modesty returns from her treatment to witness "Every Woman" happiness. Bill K. Dandridge, who plays the role of "Every Woman" is named of unusual dramatic ability with the personal charm, pleasing and attractive face which the role demands. She is supported by a crew. The play is given by the Golden Leaf Dramatic Club of which Bill K. Dandridge is president. Tickets are on sale at Lincoln, and Coleman's Drug Co.

"Vin" Richards Extended To Beat Bertram Clarke Jamaica Tennis Champion Highly Recommended By Conqueror As Opponent Of Real Merit. Bv GEORGE M. BELL NEW YORK, Feb. 28—When Vincent Richards ranking high in tennis in U. S., issued newspaper men that it was his opinion that Clarke would rate high amount international players, he paid us a compliment, that will have its effect in due time in this branch of sport. Press dispatches quoted Richards as saying that "Clarke is the leading tennis player in Jamaica, and would rank high in international competition." None of these dispatches seen by the writer, however, stated that Clarke was a Negro. Moreover, Nimes and Lake are also colored. To date America has won eight matches to Jamaica's four. When it is considered that some of America's best make up the visiting team, the showing of the Jamaican boys is commentable when they were stacked against such players as Richards of New York, Carl Fisher, in Holy Cross Bows To "Y" In First Game Of Series On last Friday night in one of the hardest fought games of the season, the Holy Cross team went down to defeat before the fast "Y" team. With both teams determined on winning the new basketball for which they were playing for, the game was close from start to finish. Holy Cross started the scoring, but the end of the first quarter the "Y" had tied the score at 8-3. In the next quarter the "Y" started their team work and by the end of the first half had a ten-point over opponents. The scoring in the second half was outnumbered until the last few minutes of play when Holy Cross brought their score up to within six points of the winners. Holy Cross made their score, chiefly byouts, while "Y" score was made mostly on field goals. For Holy Cross Williams and Wilson starred Umpires. Holy Cross Willis P. Stanton Smith P. Joo H Moss C.

There was then, as now, a stubborn determination on the part of each faction to have the other concede to his policy. After much dickering, waste of time and loss of money, of which the players were the happy recipients, it finally ended in the present national agreement. The fair and impartial baseball public and the press should get together and by such expressions and writings let these guilty magnates know just where they stand on the issue. The press, supposed to be a mouth-piece of and for the public, is being used as a mouth-piece for the magnate only in whatever section of the country the paper is being printed. tercollegiate champion; Harold Throckmorton, Manfield Goldman, Arthur Craigin and Ralph L. Baggers. Those players were invited to Jamaica by the Jamaica Tennis Association, an organization composed of the best players on the Island such as Major Nicholson, Evelyn Ashenheim brothers, Brandon Scotter and Harris. It is further alleged that a retURN match will be arranged to take place in the United States, probably some time this summer. If this be so, it is almost certain that Clarke will be on the visiting team, and it is more than likely that he will take the national team in Baltimore on August. This will give us an opportunity to see how our own players line up against the top-men of the opposite race. For should Brown or Saitch defeat Clarke, the recognition that has been denied us must then be forthcoming. This on the strength of Mr. Richards remarks. Hampton Overcomes Big Lead to Win From Lincoln Floor Team By P. BERNARD YOUNG, JR. HAMPTON, Vn. Feb. 28—After ball in the first half and finally allowing the Lincoln "Lions" to gain a 11-point lead, Hampton underwent a complete change in the second half and came out victorious over Lincoln for the second time this season by a one-point margin. The ball began with the score at 10-2. With almost unconscious comeback Hampton led by "Shorty" Lambight, forged ahead enough to tie the score before the final whistle, and caused an extra period of five minutes to be lagged. In this period some of the most desperate fighting ever seen on the Hampton Institute gymnasium court came into play. Harkrove and Gunn tied for high-point honors for Hampton with nine points each. Lambricht came next with six, but it must be remembered that his six came at the most crucial moment. Jones made one point. He played a good game. McNichols made two points and Burrell one. Simmons was a good defensive player. Hampton played an entirely different game in the second half. Pollitt was high-point man for Lincoln with 10 points. Day secured eight points. Woods six and Byrd two.

Keystone Juniors To Have Strong Team For Coming Season Manager Tidline Planning For Big Year—Wants to Hear From Out-of-town Teams. Sweeping forward with the irresistible power of an avalanche, the Pittsburgh Keystones, under the guiding genius of manager Milas J. Tidline, and for the last two years, the strongest drawing card among the younger clubs in the Tri-State district, are planning on presenting a semi-pro team this season which will rank with the best in these parts. At a meeting held Sunday afternoon, manager Tidline reorganized the club, and gave a brief outline of plans for the coming season. With a nucleus of the lads who have developed with him, and with several players from other independent clubs signed up, the club is planning on having its greatest season. Strong clubs of Youngstown Nationals, Donora, Verona and Wheeling are requested to get in touch with Manager Milas J. Tidline, 646 Hollace street, Pittsburgh, Pa. EASTERN —SPORT— FLASHES By GEORGE M.

M. C. C. a tri-state junior track and field championship. They coped first and second place in the 30-yard dash and the 90-pound team placed third in the 640-yar' relay as did the 110-pound team in the relay at a similar distance. Carlton also had entries in the 40, 50 and the 300-yard races, who won their trials and semi-finals but did no place in the finals. Teams representing the boys' department of Carlton Y. M. C. A. are beginning to make themselves felt among the other associations in fields of endurance. On February 28 we are holding members night at the "Y" and the 115-pound team of the boys' department which reached the finals in the "Y" basketball elimination tournament will play the deciding game with Central as their opponents. The Carlton "Y" men's basketball won from their opponents on Saturday night, February 25, making it 25 straight for the big fellows 10 of said victories having been won on their opponents' courts.

He will be the newly organized Pittsburgh Giants and will also appear in many of the Gray's games. Pittsburgh can easily support two colored baseball clubs if the clubs are properly handled. Indianapolis, A. R. C. will have a club composed mostly of unknowns. Dr. Marshall of Harrisburg is a rabid baseball fan. If Homestead Gray's and Oscar Charleston's Harrisburg club meet in the park, a worth traveling a long way to see. Homestead Gray's will play Cubic Stars at Horse Field Saturday, June 14. Harvey Griesel, the owner of the Pittsburgh Baseball Club, gave the Homestead Gray's every open date at the park an exciting show or police field meet. The police field meet is an annual September event. If the Negro National League and the Eastern Association are at war, how about the White and Defender? A ball player who will sign two contracts and draw advances money from one or both of the clubs, is a handurance to the advancement of colored baseball in the name of these supporters in line, the management is satisfied and proud of these men; however, every now and then one of the managers in line, the management of another club, if any manager has a signed contract from any management of Homestead Grays will convince at once all claim to this player who ever it may be. It does look hard for writers to try to put a crimp in the ambitions of the manager, who has done much for the game. Sol White, the original Sol White, few men know what have been handled this old timer who developed most of the old time stars. Sol is now in the position you mention, Columbus, Sol says, "inger again!" Sol says Monroe was best colored player that ever lived. Will Subway Smith be with Baltimore Morelk Sox this season? Would not be so bad to have hip sitting dress up a little. He is one reason why ball players duck Baltimore. There are some ball players who are "trying" about a bad running ball club at Indianapolis, but they all admit she is a body, which specializes in the knee. Hassall managers or owners who are recognized by their ball players as gentlemen. You jump from Indianapolis to Harrisburg to "duck" the frying pan. Oh, buz! "Dizz" Dismukes will be a tower of strength to the Grays in more ways than one. Last season when Dismukes was put in charge of A. B. C, the manager of Homestead Grays was naked out of the outfit of The Courier, the answers if I had a ball club in a big league park competing with big league clubs and it was possible to secure IDAres to manage that club, I would do so.

A large crowd cheered efforts of the local lads to take measure of the team which generally conceded to the team in migration along the seabound. The all-around work for Jenkins stood out for New York. The little captain led his men like Nap the Great did his polios a Austerlitz.

Hubbard showed just how good a guard must he be called great. Gurein, sometimes hailed as "Six" because he cannot make a seven, played his usual steady game. Noel watched great sweaters.

We side most readily with those fans whose only meany af expres: sion are lusty yells and hoots and hisses of derision when a decision of this kind is rendered in a fight like that star atracttion in Harlem Sat- urday night, and while there are many fans of color who might lean towards Norfolk on account of his being the “native son” of these parts, the white gentry who led in the demonstration "cannot he charged with being impertial as it was 4 case of neutrality pure and simple on their part until they enw what they gonsidercd a ray deal to a most worthy rival of “The Keed.” ‘Looking at the bout from anoiker angle we are forced to admit that both Norfolk and Anderson gave proof positive and conclusive why the white batclers will have nothing to du with then.

Center Avenue and Francis Street Schenley 1763 EIGHT Samuel Man Who Killed Threats On Convicted, Ser Sentence Commuted to Life 43 Years—Preside Par NEW YORK, Feb. 28. — Sam Moore is a Negro prisoner in Atlanta Penitentiary. According to those who are trying to help him, Sam Moore's story is a tragedy of injustice; his continued imprisonment is a national scandal and the failure of all efforts to right the wrong is the result of the solidarity of officialdom, which is protecting the "system" from the revenge it is feared might follow his release. Official records have been examined by Miss Martha Gruening, one of those who are active in Moore's behalf. They disclose an extraordinary state of affairs, she says. Life Threatened Moore's story of the murder for which he was convicted, according to Miss Gruening, is that it was committed when a white man, much older than he, was threatening him with an open knife. Moore, after vainly appealing to a guard for protection, struck the white man, Jandorf, with a shovel. In fear, or passion, he struck harder than he could, and fell with fractured chest, with died without recovering consciousness. There is no complete record of Moore's trial in existence. Miss Gruening explains, but in the archives of the Washington District Court she found some fragmentary notes of the trial and of the preliminary hearing at the inquest. Both records, she says, give some support Moore's verbiage in the business of having heard Jandorf make threats against Moore. The law of the District of Columbia at that time did not recognize degrees of guilt in pleas to the charge of murder. If the killing were to place now, Moore could plead guilty to murder in the second degree. Then, he could only plead guilty to murder in the first degree. A week before the date set for his execution, President Harrison commuted the sentence to life imprisonment on the ground of his youth and also a lack of skill in preparation in committing the crime. He was at first sent to the penitentiary and later to Atlanta, where, in his own words, he has regained "while 12,000 have come and rene." Quickly Convicted. Moore was tried by a white jury for killing a white man, Miss Grueening points out. He had a had record as a boy, and the conviction was one of the quickest on record, in spite of important conflicts in the testimony. As complete records no longer exist, and as diligent search has discovered no eye-witnesses, there is no one who can prove the crime except Moore himself and his story that he was acting in what he believed to be self-defense and did not intend to kill Jandorf has never varied, even under strong pressure from one of his own attorneys. He was kept in "stiff irons" in his cell for a month while awaiting Make Yourself More Attractive No other single factor contributes so much to personal charm and attractiveness as beautiful hair.

Center Avenue B trial. Washington papers of that date. Miss Grueneway, says, show that most of the prison officials who testified against Moore's prison record were at the time being investigated for malfeasance in office, especially neglect of and cruelty toward prisoners. When Moore was transferred from Albany to Atlanta, in 1902, his lawyer asked to see his day-by-day record, and was told that it was no longer in existence, because he met no violence while there because he "had never been out of irons long enough." Under the Parole Law, Miss Grueing says, Moore was eligible for parole October, 1905. His case was not even considered by the Parole Board before October, 1913, she asserts, and, in that year, in 1915 1919 and 1920 he was denied parole. In 1919 and 1920 the Parole Board met and denied him parole without his having made application, or, even knowing that his case was being considered, but the denial nevertheless was entered on his record, with the statement of the Parole Officer that he hardly knew a case less deserving of parole. Sam learned of this a year later, when friends, who were trying to obtain a pardon for him, came upon it in the record. Wilson Refused Pardon. At this time petitions for pardon addressed to President Wilson were being circulated. Some of these petitions fell into the hands of the Pardon Attorney, Mr. Finch, and he wrote Moore that he knew of their existence and that they misstated the case and would do him no good. This letter, Miss Gruening asserts, was written when the petitions had never been officially placed before him. The petitions, signed by about 15,000 Negroes, she says are still in the hands of his lawyer. In the summer of 1919 Moore's lawyer went to see the Pardon Attorney and asked why he opposed the pardon. He replied it was because he thought that about the murder, according to Miss Gruening, who points out that Finch has no other way of knowing what the truth is than by the fragmentary records that remain and Moore's own story. President Wilson refused to parade Moore and the case was taken up with Attorney General Daugherty in 1921. Miss Greening says, and Daugherty wrote a letter saying he would like to release Sam but could not because he had been guilty of numerous murderous assaults on our armed prisoners, from the front line, which appeased the great insanity, had escaped from Boston Reformatory and had once refused parole. Good Prison Record. Miss Gruening declares no instance has been found in Moore's official prison record of any assault on a guard and no instance of any act of violence since 1908. In 1917 he was transferred to Lorton Reformatory after a year in which, according to the same records, he had not been guilty of a single offense recorded by any punishment. When he was sentenced to prison from Lorton Reformatory, believing it was his only chance to die outside prison walls, where he had been for twenty-six years. He was at liberty for three weeks, during which he committed no misdemeanor, though penniless and, in constant danger of detection and he was working when recaptured. There is no evidence whatever that he is insane. Miss Gruening says, and she adds that if he were should of course not Atlanta, she would have added this to the Attorney General, she says, he qualified his statement to "not exactly insane." In October, 1922, the Parvo Board made a favorable recommendation on his case and Sam was advised to get in touch with his sponso-ler for further information. Six weeks later Daugherty disapproved the parvo.

Signed Petition. Seventy-five guards at the non-tertiary, many of whom have known Sam Moore for the entire term of his imprisonment, signed a petition in his behalf, declaring they "have never known Samuel Moore to assault either guard or prisoner, or harm directly or indirectly any one about the prison." The opinion of the following officer and employees, Samuel Moore would not have required a disfavorable record in early years of his sentence, were prison conditions then as favorable to prisoners as at the present time." Miss Gruening declares the real reasons for the failure of justice in Moore's case are "official stupidity, official sloth and indifference to the fate of a poor and uninfluential prisoner, official pigeonholeing under criticism and unwillingness to re-enter the prison, a certain amount, perhaps, of ancillary conviction, based on hearsey and on the bad points of Moore's early prison record." But this is not all, she thinks. Attorney General Daugherty and Pardon Attorney Smith, she declares, have persistently opposed pardon or parole, even when their stated reasons for doing so were disproved by the record and by the testimony of Mr. Moore. "Moore has never, perhaps unfortunately, concealed his desire to tell the world when he got out, what actually is on behind prison walls and he is, of course, aware that few are so well qualified as he for this task," she says. "To this more than to any other reason, I attribute his failure to win freedom." When Eugene Debs was released he fungi his arms around Sam Moore and kissed his black face. Moore and his predecessor who have been working for years in vain to obtain Moore's pardon are taking up the fight anew, determined that he shall spend his last years in freedom. MRS. A. Cunibert Festival LITTLE ROCK. Ark., Feb. 28—Mrs. Rehecca Taylor suffered a knife wound on the right arm early last Tuesday when she was attacked, she said, by Mrs. Malissa Mills, at a church festival. Mrs. Taylor told the police that she had gone to the church to attend a meeting when her alleged assailant came up and accused her of having threatened to whip her. Mrs. Mills, it is alleged, pulled out a knife and cut Mrs. Taylor. Mrs. Mills, it is said, beat a hasty retreat from the church and the police have not been able to find her. CHE PITTSBURGH COURIER BOOK REVIEW BOOK REVIEW THE CHARM OF A-WELL-MANNERED-HOME, by Helen-Ekin Starrett, The J. B. Lippincott Company, Publishers, Washington Square, Philadelphia, Pa. 194 pages. Price $1.50. A delightful little book for the home and home makers is Mrs. Starrett's The Charm of a Well-Mannered Home. The volume bristles with wit and wisdom, and the author shows she has a fine sense of taste and unusual social judgment. This, of course, seems natural, when it is remembered that the late Mrs. Starrett is the author of The Charm of Fine Manners, and was for years principal of the Starret School for Girls in Chicago. This is a list of the subjects which are treated at length, in a charming and entertaining style: The Ideal Family, The Young Wife as Home-keeper, The Mother at Home, An Old-Fashioned Accompishment, A Useful Household Maxim, The Relative Importance of Things, A Family Grace, Scolling, Too Industrious, Individuality of Children, Home Comfort, Livestock, The Household, The Household Decoration, Mothers-in-Law, Home-Making as a Profession for Women, Two Types of Women, Health for Women, The Superior Woman, The New Old Age, Women's Organizations, Unfinished Work. It has been said of the late Mrs. Starret that "no one who came within the charmed circle of her inspiring influence could go away without a feeling of uplift, a realization of the relative importance of things." THE CHARM OF A WELL-MANNERED HOME possesses much of that "inspiring influence" which so endeared her to her many friends. It offers real help to those couples who would accomplish a well-mannered life. The book will prove particularly appropriate at a time when people seem to be drifting more and more away from the ideals of family life upon which the very strength of the Nation was originally founded. Altogether, it is a book for both men and women to "read, mark, learn and inwardly digest." THE KU KLUX SPIRIT (A brief outline of the history of the Ku Klux Klan, past and present), by J. A. Rogers. The Messenger Publishing Company, 2311 Seventh avenue, New York. 48 pages, Price 30c. J. A. Rogers is a well-known colored New York journalist, whose feature stories are widely read. He has written "From 'Superman' to Man." "As Nature Leads," "The Approaching Storm," etc., all small books dealing with various phases of the race question. In this pamphlet on the Klan Mr. Rogers seeks to show the background of the organization; to picture the deep roots of the old-trunk that have survived a long period of hibernation, only to send out disturbing sprouts anew. And is well known, and as "the Ku Klux Spirit" shows, the first Klan came into being shortly after the Civil War, when the Freedman was first granted his citizenship and wasn't so well versed in the art of exercising his rights as he is now. The Klan purported to "keep him in his place," laws to the contrary, notwithstanding. Testimony is taken from James G. Blaine's "My Twenty Years in Congress" to show how stubborn and reactionary the South was during that dark period. Blaine wrote of the Black Code, which was designed to nullify the thirteenth Amendment of the Constitution, and that the direct intent of this law was to reduce the helpless Negro to slavery for half the year—a punishment that could be repeated whenever desired, a punishment sure to be desired for the portion of each recurring year when his labor was specially valuable in connection with the cotton crop, while for the remainder of the time he might shift for himself. By this detestable process the 'master' had the labor of the 'servant' for a mere pittance; and even that pittance did not go to the servant, but was paid into the treasury of the county, and thus relieved the white men from their proper share of taxation." "That which was no offense in a white man was made a misdeaner or heinous crime if committed by a Negro. Both in the civil and criminal code his treatment was different from that to which the white man was subjected. He was compelled to work under a series of labor laws applicable only to his own race. The laws of labor were amended as, in many of their provisions, to apply to white men and under the operation all freedom of movement and liberty of transit was denied." These were some of the vexing problems that confronted the rulers of the nation at that time. But the North was not to be so easily outdone. It sent soldiers into the South and set up military rule. Then, Mr. Rogers reports, "Black Codes could no longer be used. Fear of the Northern army made the use of force undesirable. The only recourse of the ex-slaveholders and their allies, the imprecuous whites, was the methods of the habitual offender. But at that time, by the merest accident, a deadlier, a far more insidious and powerful way of reducing the Norgro to near-servitude was discovered. The repression of the Norgro into fetters for his slaves "On a dark night in the late fall of 1866 a solitary individual was walking on the western outskirts of Pulaski, Tenn. Near the road, on the brow of a hill, were the ruins of a mansion that had been destroyed some years before by a cyclone. Around the ruins were the storm-torn trees, whose limbless trunks, stood grim and gaud like spectral sentinels against the sky. The man hoped to pass safely by this time and never be out of alone again. But as he rounded the corner and came into view of the house he saw a sight that turned the blood in his veins to an ice cold. There, outlined against the blackness of the ruins was an apparition, a thing of unearthly appearance and immense height in a flowing such. Such was the beginning of the Ku Klux Klan. Some of its victims "were shot; some tortured; some of them had their mouths lacerated, and others of both sexes were subjected to indignities which were disgraceful, not merely to civilization, but to humanity as well."

Ladies and: Gentlemen: The subject of my discourse this evening is entitled, "Do Married Men Make the Best Husbands?" I feel myself qualified to speak intelligently upon this subject because I happen to be a married man myself. I am not bragging about it, understand, nor do I wish to say anything against marriage. I am not a profane man, as a general rule, and willmore, I am very, very happy. I have been married now, and I am not a profane man, as a general rule, doesn't seem like more than twelve, and the reason is, yet I am so beautifully together, my wife and I—why only a few evenings ago I sat in the parlor and held her hands for two hours. If I would have let go she would have killed me. It's a funny thing how I happened to meet my wife—one of these seaside romances—I was introduced to her by a chap to whom I owed $3. Now he knew that I would never pay him back while I was conscious, so in order to get even with me he introduced me to this femaleaught, and we became very good friends. Every day we went out to the park, and here is where the romances creep in. One day she got out beyond her depths. Now I don't want to pose as a hern, modesty forbids, but if I hadn't been there at the critical moment to rush in after she she would have perished miserably.

Senator Greene Believe It Or Not SAGACIOUS HEN GETS MEAL FROM COW'S BACK Rides Bossy to Straw Rick and Pecks for Wheat Kernels. SHELBYVILLE, Mo., Feb. 28. In a wheat field on the farm of Milton Glass, near here, is a straw rick where his fourteen cows go for their daily feed. A few days ago during the snow and bad weather a barred rack hen was seen riding on the back of one of the cows from the barn to the straw rick. The man watched her and discovered the motive for her cold ride. Grains of wheat from the back of the cows go on the back as she brushed up against the straw rick and biddy sat complacently on her perch getting a full meal of wheat. When one source of supply was exhausted the hen would flop to the back of another cow, where the picking was better. And not only would she pick what grains were in her but that she would intrusively for the glossy black hair for grains that might be hidden from view. The cows, of Adrienne-Angus breed, like to have their backs scratched and chewed complacently and easily, approvingly while the hen is at work. BABY WEIGHS UNDER A POUND AT BIRTH Infant, One of Twins, Takes Food From Water Dropper. FORT WORTH, Tex., Feb. 25. Weighing three-quarters of a pound at birth, a girl baby born to Mr. and Mrs. M. R. Watson of this city will probably live, according to attending-physicians. The first infant was one of a few babies. The other baby, a boy, died a few hours after birth and weighed one and one-half pounds. Two days after birth the infant's meal "consisted of forty drops of water and twenty-five drops of milk and her weight increased to one pound and two ounces. After the second day of life the "ration" of food was increased one drop every meal. The nite, measuring only ten and one inch inches from the top of her head to the soles of her inch-long feet, was moved after the second day from a cocoon of cotton in the electrically heated incubator for an olive oil bath.

TRIPLETS ARE GREETED BY "HAIL-HAIL" SONG Sick Patient Now Get Music to Fit NEW YORK, N. Y., Feb. 25.—A phonograph has been incalled in the operating room at St. Catherine's Hospital in Brooklyn, and during every operation performed under local anaesthesia music is played. The doctors say it keeps the patient's mind from what is being done to the body and has a good effect on the nerves. The patient's taste is consulted and they play whatever music he likes. None thus far has requested permission. Patients undergoing operations for tonsilitis generally ask for "These Tonsilities Blues," a new song rendered to the same tune as "Mother Machre" and the first line going like this: "There's a spot in too, my father saved my mother from drowning and I think I know now why he never wanted me to take swimming lessons. It wasn't that I didn't love the girl. I did love her, I admit it. I loved every bone in her head; I loved her because in the first place, she came from a very aristocrooked family, one of her uncles being a retired bank president. The judge retired him for eight years, and furthermore she was a very kind woman. She was really gorgeous, both of them; in fact, there were three, but one was back so far I am not counting that, and I said to myself, having saved this girl's life, I will propose to her and get married. They do that in the books and I was out of work anway, so I picked out a beautiful evening for the terrible deed. When I rang the bell she met at the door. I had a little bunch of flowers in my hand, a beautiful bouquet of forget-me-nots. I looked right into her beautiful eyes and got busy immediately. With my voice just choking with love, I was able to get her to smile until we had been married nine days, and then she got her eyes open. "Kitten," I said, "will you marry me?" And she said: "Yes, I don't care what becomes of me."

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Feb. 25.—With unfailling devotion, Laddie, a 3-year-old beagle hound, watched the body of Mrs. Sarah Highland, 55, when his mistried died at her home here. Mrs. Highland had ill several months. When she attempted to get out of her bed on a recent morning the end came, Laddie crept under her bed. When Mrs. Clara Slack, who had been caring for his mistress, tried to approach the Laddie objected. Mrs. Slack called a neighbor, but Laddie would not permit her to move the body. It was only when Police Officers Griffin and Reedy pulled him away that Laddie yielded only to take up a new position on a chair near the bedroom door, from which he watched the operations of the deputy coroner with almost human interest.

DOOMED WOMAN NOT AFRAID OF GALLOWS Will Climb the Stairs With Bravery, She Asserts. ATLANTA, Ga.; Feb. 21.—If I die, I shall climb the gloats stairs with the same bravery that I heard this dreadful death sentence. I would rather have my neck broken than live with a besmirched conscience. This was the declaration of Mrs. Ida Hughes, white, young and attractive slayer of her mother-in-law, Mrs. M. C. Hughes, white, in the first and only statement she has made since judge G. H. Howard said, "I will hang you shall hang by the neck until dead." "It is no time for worrying," she said. "I have a clear conscience and my fate rests in the hands of God." Calmest Person in Court. With eyes undimmed by tears, with voice unshaken by emotion, with figure erect and head held high. Mrs. Hughes heard Judge G. H. Howard, presiding over the Fulton Supreme Court, doom her to death on the gallows on Friday, March 14. She was a tremendous crowd had surged to the building for the dramatics of the occasion—the woman about whose threat the law has drawn a cord was the calmest, the best poised, during the sentence, she turned to her husband, Frank Hughes, huddled in horror in a chair near her. He is indicted jointly with her for the murder, the murder of his own mother, and as she beckoned for him to arise and accompany her, she was the stronger of the two, the murder or qualified to fight. No motion was made for a new trial on this occasion. Her husband—a trial was begun this week. The crime or which the jury said Mrs. Ida Hughes must pay the death penalty, comes to mind bright, bumpy day after afternoon, the day before the closing day of 1923. Mrs. Hughes' humble home in Eagan Park was the scene of the tragedy. To that house came the mother-in-law, accompanied by two Hapeville officers, armed with a warrant, which permitted Mrs. Hughes 'o take from her son's home certain personal properties, the owning of which were in dispute between herself and her daughter-in-law. A Stormy Scene. As the mother-in-law entered there was a stormy seep between the two women and Hughes, the son of one, the husband of the other. There were words and recriminations. Finally the younger Mrs. Hughes seemed resigned to the search and seizure. Apparently calmed, she permitted the search to proceed as she retired from the process. The mother-in-law conducted the search in person, while the officers looked on. Suddenly the younger woman appeared in the doorway and advanced toward the woman who gave her husband birth. Her Hes were afame, her muscles were tense. Without warning she raised her right hand. It held the door open, and the officers could interfere, she had fire and the elder woman crumpled to the floor, a bullet throw's her brain. The husband's sympathies were evidently the wife of his heart rather than for the dead woman, whose life blood had given him life. The patient that he had a prion of his wife's intent to kill. He was arrested as an accessory before the fact, a conspirator in the murder of his own mother. The prier was taken to the Fulton Tower. Here the husband, a stollen householder,敞开了敞 openly and avowed that his wife was blameless in the matter. She was boldly defiant. The mother-in-law had nagged, she said. She had endeavored to break up her son's home. She had embarrassed her on all occasions. She had been abused and maltreated by her mother. She had no moon search had stirred her beyond human endurance. Thus, she explained the tragedy. event in the life of a father. Sometimes it gets him a home. he was a very fine old gentleman, and we had been booing friends. I like him, because in the first place, he was a very well educated man, and a very, very fine musician. One of the greatest soup-whistlers I ever heard. You ought to her him whistle "Tomato Obligato." Well, the evening I called he was very grumpy about something, because when I spoke to him politely: "Mr. Dingbat, I want to marry your daughter and came to get your consent to the onion (union)"—then he replied grudely: "What will you do if I refuse my consent to this marriage?!" Then I spoke right up with all the bravery of youth and said: "You refuse your consent there only on you and can and will take your daughter away from you and can will never lay eyes on her again." So he refused and I took her over to the parinis—parens—and we were united in the Holy Bunk of Martimony, and you talk about some people profiting by other's mistakes, that minister got $10 out of me for marrying us, and after the ceremony we started on our honeymoon and my wife, being a very sensitive woman, didn't want any one to know that we had just been married, so I let her carry the valise—Selected. Wylie PITTSBURGH Avenue By John L. Clark FOR ten long years we worked on various pieces of literature distributed by the Monteforte Hospital Association, and for ten long years we observed the pathetic appeal, the persistent adherence to their plans, their ultimate goal—showing a determination to win in spite of reverses—until every Jewish citizen of Pittsburgh had something to say about, and something to be, the proposed Monteforte Hospital. How long the proposition had lived in time we don't know—but we observed closely for ten long years and have lived to see the life-saving plans of those foresighted and patriotic semites in full operation. Today the Livingstone Memorial Hospital plans, and being talked about up and down the Avenue. For they are to settle one midnight in the room, and the question created or destroyed. The question is being repeated every day. "Will it go over this time?" After reviewing the history of the project for the past sixteen years, and considering the eagerness of the owners to own bettermore, the Column ventures: "Yes, it MUST go over." It must go over because whites or blacks have no argument against it; the white man feels obligated because he knows that the Negro is on one race which cannot be properly represented in our city, at present; the blacks know of this condition, as well as the absence of advantages that our medical students and practicing physicians should have—and only a hospital can furnish; mothers are the scientific rearing of their children; and the ordinary worker would appreciate, timely talks and hints on the prevention of different ailments or diseases—which can only result from clinics under the supervision of Negro physicians and nurses. It must go over, because the preliminary sacrifices of the organization have been made and the powers of every vocation are shouldering the wheel and pushing carefully and systematically, reserving sufficient energy to overcome any unseen obstacle which might appear overnight. It must go over, because the location is ideal and can be easily reached from all sections of the city; the outside appearance will be ding and indoor work rooms will be furnished for the new appliance for hospital service. We have the men—black and white—to operate the institution—also a number of nurses who have spent years in training, but who are eager to enter or twice a year to tender their hair, and then in extreme emergencies only. "It must go over because Negroes say so. Already "Livingstone Hospital" is on the tongue of the Negro who reads and before long every school boy, boy, will be talking it over during" recenss at: school, flathers and mothers will use itg as a nightly topic for: conversation—when they sit, before the "dining room fire, disheveled by the batter of some fire" to the race; the white neighbor or fellow worker will nudge his black brother in the side, urging him to "put it over, put it over BIG and when you need help call on me;" the preachers will preach it from the pulpit; the gambler will talk it over the gaming table; the lawyer will talk it to his clients, and the swinder will discuss, it with his pal; the rich and the poor, sick and well, the blacks and the yellows will make "Livingstone Hospital" a houseward and a standard by which most conventions must be followed." It must go over, because no proposition with the endorsement and support of all these elements can fail.

The listener was the proprietor and book of a bake shop on Webster's in shout dresses in a blue denim suit and shout hat—in and out of the kitchen. Our blue denim chef had preferred the decision of an officer (in a matter which could be adjusted by any school boy) to the patronage of one who dropped in occasionally to buy some harboured ribs. A speaker was right, for he paid for two meals only—nobody was arrested. How much better if it would have been for the blue denim chef to have considered the claim of his patron, even though it might have meant a possible loss, or to stage this comic opera at our popular junction on Fullerton street. As it were he had a very ugly picture for those who were returning from church to look at. Some people think not of others. OSCAR HARRIS opened a drug store near Charles street last week, which has caused the old timers to his heads. He claim that he is too young and his boyish pranks are still fresh in the minds of people who know him; that he lacks experience, and is too close to the established house of Scott's, at Kirkpatrick street. The Column doesn't agree in any of these arguments because they are not sufficiently balanced with the conditions which are emphasized by men who know business and pharmacy. We take the liberty of applying "When I was a child, I did as a child," etc., to Oscar, which if accepted in one instance, with all things equal, should be accepted in another as to his experience: The University of Pittsburgh and the State Board vouch in written form—as well as the verbal O. K. of two of our best Negro druggists. Dr. Scott's drug store at Kirkpatrick street will be a real advertisement for Oscar in that it completes the contrast by which Negroes like to show their preference. Negroes, but those who will necessarily be druggers, but those who Oscar's store, day and night. Oscar is the only Negro druggy between the Ebenezer and Central Baptist churches, the membership of which are mostly Southerners and who delight in helping the Negro who tries. The ministers of both churches are progressive and are ever cunningly their charges in racial loyalty to the Negroes, and will profit by the broadness of these teachings, because they are accepted and practiced by both memberships. The Column believes that Oscar Harris has the best drug store location of any Negro* on the Avenue and by conservative management, up-to-the-minute service, will enjoy a degree of success far beyond the expectations of friends. Stay in your business harness, Oscar. Mne. Cecelia De Silva, 28, Prima Donna, To Tour With Freeman's International Co. As to Mme. Cocelia De Silva, here a distinct line must be drawn relative to grand opera work. She has had and still has some advantages over others. To begin with she is young, being only 28 years old. Again for several years she has enjoyed the advantage of being constantly under the direction of two eminent foreign instructors. Then, too, recently De Silva employed a special dramatic instructor. Far beyond these, to be truthful, she also possesses that peculiar emotion which besets other foreign women of her class. She was born in St. Thomas, V. I., but was educated and reared in both Italy and Spain. Cecelia De Silva is the only girl of color who has ever posed for a New York sculptor as a Gypsy. Her role is "Carmen," the Gypsy cigarette girl. De Silva deserves to be heard as she is a great dramatic prima donna. She has been seen and heard to great advantage when playing "Carmen" and "Mona Vanner" the superwoman. Broadway critics said her prostration acting in "Vendetta" as Zanita was thrilling and well itch perfect. She is versatile in her acting and it is hours thereafter before she is really herself again. By GEORGE ENDOM TAYLOR NEW YORK, Feb. 28. U successfully produce grand open failure in all parts of the cou wherever launched, soon found mountable obstacles in many qu full public production. Most of the attempts never dress rehearsal, letting alone t much money, time and patience and Richmond, Va., came near NEW YORK, Feb. 28. Until recently every attempt to successfully produce grand opera with colored talent has been a failure in all parts of the country. The scheme, whenever or wherever launched, soon found itself face to face with insurmountable obstacles in many quarters, such as would prevent a full public production. Most of the attempts never reached the stage of a full dress rehearsal, letting alone the unbounded efforts in which much money, time and patience were lavishly spent: Chicago and Richmond, Va., came nearer it than others. Most of these attempts finally received themselves into Independent collective productions from various operas by associations. These conditions existed the country over wherever colored talent of that calibre could be gotten together. The stars would twinkle here and there, all within their gifted orbits, but to no avail. Leaked Cultivation. Organization and cultivation were always most promiscuity absent. Theatrical promoters, playwriters and producers of all nationalities who were willing to try anything once, after hearing a rehearsal would give the respective managers a "good night nurse" shake of their heads, and whisper to themselves: "The thing just can't be done." Both German and French producers maintained that the ability is somewhere in the colored singer to deal with grenade opera works, but to dig it up the expense would be too enormous and the gigantic undertaking would doubtless prove a challenging task, to say the least. Hettie Reaves' Opinion. Battie-Reacy, of New York, now singing in Spain, told the writer she had discovered that, the colored singer with the ability never grows sections enough to deal with heavy grand opera work. This naturally relegates them to the musical comedy class, and comic opera at best.

THE DANCING DEVILS --- Four Dancing Devils Bob Branlett, Nellie Jackson, Catherine Jackson and Lloyd McDonald are making theater devotees realize there is "art" in jazz as "she is played and danced." They are appearing at the Gayety Theater this week "Roseanne," the rural Southern comedy, showing at the Pitt Theatre this week, gives a pleasant taste of the drama. It is rich in pathos, genuine in humor, and pregnant with truth. The story has to do with the religious faith of a devoted little community in Georgia. Everything is typical from the "exalted" pastor to the constancy of the Ladies' Aid Society. Roseanne, the faithful member of the Mt. Zion Church is cleverly acted by Rose McClendon and the pastor, Cicero Brown by Charles Gilpen. There we see Mr. Gilpin in a new and entirely different role from his former triumps, "Emperor Jones." His fine art is shown in the last scene when he becomes a rechorus. The writer heard the chorus first, then the cast in separate choruses. The characters are some things prominently absent which were needed to bring out impressively just what Freeman's compositions had intended. Signor Gatti's Opinion. Signor Gatti had often told the writer in his office at the Metropolitan. Opera House that he yet had faith and hoped some day to see the race bring out a real dramatic grand opera tenor and prima donna. He said, "Your people have just got to grow in with another generation which will doubtless take life more seriously. They can then play it. It is all an exhibition of the emotions." Then came Marie Drapper, for require great dramatic ability. It is neither a toy or a joke. Our race has raised a few grand opera tenors. Prof. Freeman's Company. While speculations were thus under way Professor H. Laurence Freeman, a colored composer of New York, had prepared the plots, plans and places of five foreign grand operas, especially for colored singers. The plays are heavily dramatized. It then remained for four years in the Garden of the Chicago Opera Association, who made a bid for the colored production and requested a full dress rehearsal. Cecelia De Silva Arrives. Fortunately about this time the writer presented Mime. Cecelia De Silva to Prof. Freeman. Through some other agency he secured Pleasants, the tenor of Richmond, Va.: Taylor Gordon, as the Tororead, and Valdo Freeman as Don Castro, who completed the chain of what is today the world's first Grand opera. There was a full dress rehearsal at the studio in 130th street for the benefit of Miss Drapper's agent, she having had to leave the country. With a new theatre being built in Broadway and the sudden jump in the contract price for the rights of th' Negro productions, Miss Draper fell back for a while. She then formed an alliance with other Broadway producers and critics who requested another rehearsal (Eve still being made to buy the rights). Lafayette Theater Production. When the Lafayette theatre production was finally made it really astounded the theatrical world. Chicago, which had often made the attempt, was taken oil its feet when it was of cially learned that New York had really turned the trick with an array of real grand opera artists. The members of the cast were Couture Freeman, Marie Woody, Lois Mallory, and riggan, J. Martin Rolls, William Elkins, E. Taylor Gordon, Valdo L Freeman, Syrens Heyliger and Cecilia De Silva. Mme. Carlotta Freeman played the leading role in "Vendetta." There are nine more operas to follow. They are Vooogdo, Plantation, the Martyrys, Zuluki, Athalia, the Octoroon, Yeldo, the Prophecy and African Kral. Plans are now being perfected for. Broadway performers who will be featured be re-titled 'est.' A vast amount of money has recently been used for preparations—for 'coming productions.' "ROSEANNE" morseful and penitent sinner after his villiany and duplicity as a leader of the people. Miss Evelyn Ellis makes an appealing Leola and there is some clever acting done by Lillian Brown and Margaret H. Brown as Sis Tempy Snow and Sis Lundy Gray. The impassioned lover Rodney is well done by G. Edward Brown. well done by C. Crawford. The signing of familiar virtuosals is musical treat. In the church chorus he Jeanne Roborts, Louis Schooler, Arthur Gaines, Minnie Brown, Marian Laventore, Bessia Whitman, Walter Hilliard, Charles Downz and Armintithine Latimer, a Pittsburgh girl, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Harris, of Webster avenue. Virginia Listen, Okeh Record Artist, and her famous Okeh Jazz Five, accompanied by select vaudeville specialties from "BWay" opened the New Lincoln here Monday night with a record-breaking attendance. Never has Pittsburgh welcomed a stock company as she did on Monday evening. People were grappling and struggling for standing room. The curtain went up at six o'clock and the performance was continuous to 12:30. At least 5,000 people witnessed the opening, to say nothing of the thousands turned away. Miss Liston and her "Jazz Hounds" were probably responsible for the record-breaking attendance. Ruth Coleman, who made a hit in the "Muscle Box Revue" company and other predictions is also a member of the company supporting her Miss Coleman will long be remembered for her agility in dancing and snigging. "Person, as "Black Jack" and Buttle, as "Weatherbird" of "Strut Miss Lizzie" fame, did their stuff. For once the jokes were original. The "Plantation Female Quartette" favorably impressed their audience. The quartette included talented Ruth Coleman, Lucy Mitchell, Juanita McGee and Pearl Graham. Miss Liston and her "Jazz Fire," Globe Favorites, Cleveland, staged a come back in each performance. With the exception of a slight cold she was truly at herself when she sang, "You Dono, Sho Dono" and "Taint a Doggone Thing But The Blues." At The Star The "Little Playhouse" on the hill has one of the greatest all-star vaudeville attractions of the season in which is included the famous team of George Williams and Bessie Brown, Columbia Record Artists whose records are selling big everywhere. This act is a riot. Dinah Scott Trio is featuring Baby Wallace one of the greatest childactresses in the country. To watch her perform is a rare treat for Pittsburgh theater-goers. White and Moore, two men, do such dances as are rarely seen on any stage. Lafayette Players Coming to the Dunbar PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Feb. 28.—For the first time of the current season, Andrew Bishop will present his company at Gibson's New Dunbar Theater in a wide range of dramatic offerings. This, the original Lafayette Players, company numbers among its members Miss Cleo Desmond, Babe Townsend, Arthur Ray, Sidney Kirkpatrick, Laura Bowman, Isabelle Jackson and other old favorites. The regular matinees, evening shows, midnight shows will prevail. The engagement is limited to a few weeks as the company is signed up for a long spring and summer run on the coast. THE PITTSBURGH COURIER GAY LIGHTS OF STATE STREET SLOWLY GO OUT Noted Places On Once Bril liant South Side Rialto Closing One By One It was long after the mid-night hour, even Marcus Threlkeld had gone home. The most conservative of South Side population had been to bed several hours hence. Only State street, gleamed with a million lights, like clustered stars caught in the silken web of night. And unto the wee small hours of morning, the plaintive moan of the saxophine, could be bearded crying forth the latest in cabaret classic. A loud voiced damsel galavanting up and down with an occasional side-swipe, made interesting an otherwise dull evening. This was years back when we sat in the old Elite No. 2 and watched the shifting kaleidoscope of night-lifers as they sauntered back and forth. The english derbies, coats high up the beck, worn with spats and other smart toggery, long known to State street as outfits that "knocks 'em cold." Lean, lanky sparkling eyed maidens, "gold-diggers" in the present day sense of the word, clustered moth-like about State street's burning fires. And the tell-tale smudges under their eyes feigned a vivacity that they did not feel. The theatre "fed" the midnight palaces of pleasure, as taxi drivers hustled back and forth multiplying the gathering crescenda of idle slaves of pleasure. The Dreamland, decorated in Babylonian splendor, swept into amazing popularity as one of the show places along the stroll. State street, a lane of smiles and laughs, and the cabaret, a rose with thorny petals poked out nightly in holiday attire. On the fringe of the jaded crowds, whining their woe, were the printed lower women, as wilted as their wares. Along the curb, with big open cars, the "day-dreamers" hawked the taxi business. Daybreak being the zero hour, State street cabarets closed their doors at breaking dawn. The first nighters, for the first time in their lives, saw the bright lights from a close-up went entranced by the glitter and hypnotized by glare. The bright light still calls them. It is the light that never fails. But the burning fires of State street no longer sparkle like shewolf teeth, the lemon-ade of Volsted has somewhat extinguished the flame. Midnight marks the closing hour for the dance crazed feet. And as a result of the snooping nose of Prohibition, one by one the lights in the street are turned off. Of the clustered stars of State street, the cabaret hounds, the "golddiggers" are fallen stars from State street constellation. Time has brought many changes along the avenue. 'Member a few years back when big old dilapidated taxis of all shapes and forms called to passersby who sauntered down the stroll? Drivers of these antique carriages charge fare in accord with the appearance of their customers. Ask a half dozen drivers what the fare would be from the Vendome to the Hotel Vincennes and one would get a half dozen prices. Bringing Emerson's $1.25. The average layman shunned the 'taxicab and its outlaw drivers. And with the coming of the Yellow, taxi business was revolutionized on the South Side. The ram-shackled bus that blocked traffic near 35th, was driven from the streets. Black men with vision saw golden opportunities in the taxi business. A hundred cabs now are a part of South Side.traffic and doing business as a result of revolutionized rutes and business organization.

Latest Release of Hunter, Rogers and Roberts By Victor People, Depict True Strain of Negro Comedy. (Special to The Pittsburgh Courier) NEW YORK, Feb. 28—When Alex Rogers and the late Bert Williams gave to thousands of homes that classic of Negro comedy entitled "Elder Eatmore's Sermon on Generosity," with its companion piece called "Elder Eatmore's Sermon on Throwing Stones," we have it on good authority that even the Victor people were of the opinion that these coloredeyors of the best in Negro comedy had reached the zenith of their inspiration along this line of entertainment. are the titles of the new record, and while Hunter and Rogers are at their best we are going to predict that Luckeyth Roberts at the piano will command as much attention as his partners. The record is one of the smoothest, and the piano accompaniment the best we have heard in ages and well worthy of the attention we are directing to it. In all the years that he has been in the theatrical world we have been However, we know as a matter of fact that at the time of Williams' death he and Rogers had been working in conjunction on other things along the same line that would have easily taken their places with the above section which have been heard in thousands of homes throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and the West Indies, and now that Eddie Hunter has joined Alex Rogers and tuckeyth Roberts in producing records of this nature, we can presume to say without its being considered far fetched that these superior comedy talking records and songs will continue to fill a place in the same homes and thousands of others that know Bert Williams so well. The trio of Rogers, Hunter and Roberts has been turning out a number of records for the Victor Talking Machine Company, concededly the leading company of this kind making phonograph records, and while their previous offerings have found instant favor with the public we feel that their very latest which has just been released will meet with an even warmer welcome as Rogers has again given us that true strait of Negro comedy of which he is the master.

In a recent interview with Mrs. Gordon, she said that I am very grateful to that I am very grateful to Mrs. Maud Morrisette and the large group of women composing the Active Workers' Association, of which Mrs. Morrisette is chairman, for their solid and unwavering cooperation in their choice of me. The group is curred under the leadership of Mrs. Morrisette, who is the county leader for colored Republican women." OBSERVED BY WALLY PEELE There has been quite a little discussion in private circles and in various local weekly papers regarding the situation existing in the Philadelphia High School for Girls. Can anyone say that they did not expect it? Not if they are honest with themselves. It has been brewing under the surface for a long time. Many have seen it coming. But poor colored people like to wait, unaware that they succeed in waiting for them. In a nutshell can easily be traced to themselves. Colored people of Philadelphia are the easiest going and most satisfied citizens in the country. Easy life; content to comment on the various happenings and situations; teraining of a little of everything; but willing to trust to the God of Fate for the solution of all problems. This is the type of citizenship which becomes sterile and useless. And the one reason that Philadelphia has grown rapid advancement where the colored people is concerned than they have. With all the opportunities of years long gone into eternity there is no apparent aggressiveness in the group or this affair could never happen, or rather even been attempted, or even not. It is a little other personal ambition. The game is in the hands of others likewise the fate. Politically the masses have no voice, that is in any practical way. Possibly they will not have until a younger element and a more aggressive group take a hand. The game is not the "The sina of the fathers," etc. It is a terrible outlook, for so fair a city. Fresh material may see fit to come to the City of Brotherly Love PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Feb. 28. A wrist of hagus corpus, obtained by friends, disclosed the last week that two young colored horses accused of stealing milk, had been confined in Moyamensing prison for 35 days without a wrist being returned to court by the committing who will not accept the old time theory or be tainted with weakness that takes the starch out of the backbone. There will always be opportunities for the man or the woman who forces them and are too proud of their ability to scoop to cheap sale of their rights or the rights of citizens. That will be the only type of citizen who can redeem Philadelphia and make it impossible for a repetition of the above mentioned condition, not only in Philadelphia, but in the state of Pennsylvania. There will never be a group of white citizens or politicians who are going to willingly and without protest grant or consider the colored situation. They are playing the game and you are just an instrument in skillful hands. You have to fight for your freedom and your right as a citizen, begging for help, and expect you to do that. But they don't expect you to resist. If the proper spirit had been manifested in this school question, the N. A. A. C. P. would not necessarily have to have been brought into the matter one way or the other or their named loaned. The mere fact that this wonderful organization's attention was called to the matter was sufficient proof, that the colored people do not count. Only at election. The following day they are a minus quantity. Regard the colored situation from a political standpoint, disregard everything else. Because upon your political power and that alone are you going to be judged. Fight for what you want with politician be your weapon to be politician bring a razor in your own defense, now give them a change; they like that, perhaps. Do not listen to or bother about foolish promises that are made by your own politicians or others. Know those you want; are what you think they are. If you prove that you are earnest, you earnest or are they the consequences. You don't expect a white man to play fair, if you are intelligent; you couldn't in all honesty to yourself. But you do expect your own to play fair. At least there is always a way to deal with them. Times are becoming more desperate but there are so many things to suffer and bear. Now they are revoltingly tired. There will be no change unless you are in the position to demand through politics. This is the main point at issue and the basic cause will help to put men in office. That same vote will give you what you need. If those holding office play fair with you as a group, you vote to keep them there. Do not allow an, one to advise you other, one to don't, well, you know what to do. Dr. Charles A. Lewis, in an article appearing in a local weekly paper, states the situation clearly: "Our public schools like the public rounds are common ground. They are not treated as color. Again voicing the sentiments of the doctor, "Only those deserve to live who are not afraid to die." Yes, die fighting for what is yours, and politics is your strongest weapon to no fear. Of death, how dare you not fear, you are to heavily armed. magistrate Joseph Perri. Perri was served with a subpoena to appear in Quarter Sessions Court and explain the thing. Because of the delayed transcript of the complaint, the long awaiting trial which was finally forced through by District Attorney Rotan's office. In regard to the case Perri admitted carelessness, but not fraud or ill will. "I have nothing to fear or shield," he said. "I shall gladly give any evidence." Audenied. I feel confidence in his fair-mindedness and sense of justice. "I certainly had nothing to gain by allowing the two boys to remain in prison and under no circumstances would I be a party to imposing unnecessary hardship on my parents." "I first returned a transcript of the charges to the Municipal Court, thinking to have the young men handled as inscrigibles rather than as hardened criminals. That court would not handle the young men's sympathies." "Then I signed a transcript and believed it had been returned to the indictment court in the grand jury room. When detectives came to my office last Wednesday I found the transcript lying ready for delivery still in my books. This may have been carelessness, but was certainly evidence of fraud or wrongdoer."

Chamberlain STATE Organization Fail To Organization Leaders Fail To Keep Promise Reminders Are Met With Evasions From Councilman Hall. PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Feb. 25—The glittering promises of Councilman Charles B. Hall and the organization leaders made to the group of race men who sponsored the Duckery candidacy in the last mayoralty campaign have not been fulfilled except in two instances and one in the name of Attorney John Sparks to the City Solicitor's office, and Mrs. Lena Trent Gordon in the Public Welfare Bureau. "The Courier has come into possession of a letter written to President of Councils Charles Hall, w enjoys city leadership by virtue of the Negro vote in the election of President, and was written to Mr. Hall by Charles Fred White, State Boxing Commissioner, and was in reply to an evasive note from Mr. Hall regarding the promised appointment of a Negro to the Board of Real Estate Assessors. The letter follows: Dear Mr.—I have your letter of the memorial to you, and your letter nor Mr. Kennrick has "the naming of Real Estate Assessors as this is done by the Board Of course, we are not so ignorant as not to know that the messages we receive, we do know, however, that if you, Mr. Kendrick Mr. Watanan, Mr. Kendrick, Mr. Watanan, we these places they are appointed. You promised us as stated in my former letter, that you may allow that the appointments for which we asked and which your Republican Organization has agreed, now it looks as if you are attempting to avail. There is an old statement that, Mr. Watanan, we think you may need us next spring and many more times thereafter, but we are determined not The Colored Voters of Philadelphia have too long blindly dumbly and do not have done the bidding of others who have never been grateful enough to repay the bidding of others after the elections were over. We are one-tenth of the population and proportionate recognition in appointments. You have for years recorded such recognition even when you are not a member or other groups of Philadelphia citizenry in return for support in a case given any just recognition to the Negro group, although in the main they have still been publican Organization. A few clerks and many cupidor cleaners and other paraded with the great amount of "protrusion" handed out by each administration for the great service this group has rendered to that Organization. They have fought politically for years for just recognition for this neglected group, and for political creations, but in regular appointments as man and commonwealth entitled to all of the rights, liberties, privileges and entitlements due or accorded to other The men leading the Republican organization themselves too selfish and too small to do the just thing for and play fairly with others. I had thought their probably Mr. Hall might be big enough to be a jailer and an officer, and I have mistaken Mr. Kondrick, too, has been highly and broadly acclimatized to a square deal for all. I have let koto know that he would be by according just political recognition to the group of whom I speak, but I hope that, when he is freed, he will be 'found wooing'. Just once did we support and probed the Gifford Pinchot as Governor of Pennsylvania and he has already begun for justice and equality in the employment of his people. He has always declared himself for happiness" of all our citizens and is big enough at heart andearnest to feel is right and just, regardless of who criticizes. So long as we continue to stand out as one of the great men of his time, we will have others who have disregarded public criticism when doing their just duty.

The colored people of Philadelphia are the most diverse of all cities and even many of your old and caretakers may not be aware that they have been driven away. They are willing to unite in bringing the men who will not sell them on and help him get what he desires. They are more firmly entrenched in political appointments you present. If you think we are too insignificant, let me remind you we feel too insignificant. If it is not yet the time for you to time that we quit putting up such places. I have already applied to a number of people about your time to work for us. I had taken up the matter with Haul at the representative of the company, reply. It rests with you whether we shall continue to support you or we will close copies of the list of applications to bargains we can elsewhere and am sending copies of this letter to all the prominent leaders of the organization wish, the requests that they return from publication for a book or two and send ninety of persons we are mended for appointment as a speaker at a kendrick and others, which we promised us.

BROOKLAND, Va., Feb. 28.—In an effort to further stigmatize and designee American Negroes of white extraction, John Southern musician and composer, head of the Anglo-Clan of America, carried his propaganda before the Virginians of Representatives here on February 12, Abraham's birthday, veiled as an attempt to secure the passage he designed "to back the emancipation proclamation for months, while he sought to reach an agreement with some foreign nation for the deportation of the 4,000,000 slaves who were to be freed. I mention this because this great friend of the Negro realized the essential inferiority of the African and saw the danger of racial amalgamation. "Following the war we had an acute problem to cope with, and in its succession it was supremacy—we lost sight of the problem of racial amalgamation." The present law in Virginia prevents the marriage of whites with Negroes, but it defines a Negro as a person having as much as one-sixteenth Negro blood. The proposed bill, which is now on the Senate calendar, provides that only persons who have not a drop of non-white blood shall be white persons under the law.

Word comes in from Parkersburgh that Doppel's Sorcerers played there without the help of either its director, Mr. Lois Deppe, or its musical director, Vance Dickson. He helped out with the music. It is said that some of the people who traveled a great distance to hear them went away very much displeased and disappointed. Clarksburg now boasts a very modern and up-to-date colored drug store. The Keene Drug Store opened its doors for business on January 17 at 102 Dike street, Clarksburg, W. A. Dr. P. D. Keene, a graduate of College of Pharmacy, is the pharmacist and is backed with an experience of eight years. The Hill Billy arriving in Fairmont simultaneously with a snow flurry, slipped on Jefferson street, and fell clear around on Jackson. He jumped upon his feet quickly, looked around sheepshiee to see if anyone had seen him (there had) and continued upon his way, cussing snow in general and jey streets in particular fluent. He walked very pretty like city built on the very pretty Rome, on seven bills and then some to spare. Fairmont is what you would call "All broke out with hills." I lunched at the Busy Bee Restaurant, operated by one of the agents of the Pittsburgh Courier, and met some of the Fairmont boys, who said it was told in the hills that Mr. Meed was united in holy wadlock to Miss Mary Spencer till death does them pain, till death can rest with each of them, and as a shock to some of the best news-carrying gossipers of the city, who have been wondering for some time how long the couple would hold out against one another. Good luck, my friends, and may God help you, as you will need His help and much talk. The Hill Billy then walked to the south side of the city and talked with Dick Merchant and John Cobb, who discused upon the special occasion that Fairmont has判了他 a judge who is very discouraging to the Ku Klux Klan. Dick Merchant says the judge holds it is open season with the Ku Klux Klan at any time of the year. The Hill Billy upon his return from the river, the established two new agencies of the Pittsburgh Courier, one with Mr. William Wright 210 Madison street, and another with Mr. D. B. Burt, the Hill Billy then traveled to Hutchinson, where he established an agency with little Charles Eaton. He then visited the little Negro Grade School, high up on the side of the mountain, and conversed with the winsome teacher, Miss Owens. He then visited Enterprise and Shinstone, placing agencies with Mr. Luther Matthews of Enterprise and Mr. P. B. Burton of Shinstone. At Shinstone there is in operation a kind of coal mine, owned and operated by Negro capital and labor. This mine is one of a group of mines owned and operated by the Iron Valley Coal Corporation of Pittsburgh, Pa. Roscoe Jackson, manager of one of Clarksville's Negro pool parlors, is still talking of his last trip to the Smoky City, where he saw Wylie avenue by moonshine, smelled Wylie avenue by sunshine and a smell of Symphonium Seranaders. The Hill Billy had the pleasure of watching one William Donelly, colored, of Clarksville, move a one-ton dump wagon eightteen inches with his forehead while constining down Mechanic street one evening last week. There was no casuity. The wagon sustained a slight loss of paint. The Pleasant Brothers have opened a restaurant while constining Third street. It is a clean and up-to-date restaurant, serving home-cooked meals, short orders and fish and game in season. A warrant, charging Earl Hunt, a colored coal miner, with having a still and moonshine in his possession, was dismissed by Magistrate R. Edward Kidd, when the defendant, who lives in Clarksville, clutely that he had nothing to do with the contraband found in his premises. Hunt stated on the witness, stand that the still and moonshine belonged to one, Holland Cassell, another miner of Chiefton, who has not yet been apprehended.

Cohen Holds On PERHAPS there is little surprise that the nomination of Mr. Cohen failed of confirmation in the Senate. He has had a similar experience before. The reason for his failure to secure confirmation is due to his racial identity. There is not the slightest attempt on the part of the opposition to conceal the real reason for the negative vote on Mr. Cohen's appointment. there is little surprise that the trailed of confirmation in the real experience before. The reconfirmation is due to his racial rest attempt on the part of a reason for the negative vote. And a great deal about southernly the southerners cling to moral values or social propriety in South—in many sections, a old office. This bitter opposition then the carpet baggers went to is in spite of the feeling and the poor Negro will never be South, although he had absession of the insult. The white North, but the revenge is of inconsistency will fade. We say centuries advised the fading Colien and his lifeharm sentiment can prevail. Bolldge has shown more than a request for the confirmation. President knows the opposition of race prejudice, and he from his appointment would be position. This is not like Cook is not so much concerned about. As long as the opposition reing more, the President is liking his position upon the rule of when may never be confirmed, as long as he insists that all of decency and fair play is We have heard a great deal about southern traditions. We know how religiously the southerners cling to tradition, even at the expense of moral values or social proprieties. It is an unwritten law in the South—in many sections, at least—that Negroes shall not hold office. This bitter opposition is a ghost of the olden days when the carpet baggers went South and placed Negroes in offices in spite of the feeling and wishes of the southern whites. The poor Negro will never finish paying for this insult to the South, although he had absolutely nothing to do with the imposition of the insult. The white South is mad with the white North, but the revenge is visited upon the Negro. This kind of inconsistency will fade within a few centuries we imagine. We say centuries advisedly. But pending the fading Colen and his like must not hold office, if the Southern sentiment can prevail. President Coolidge has shown more than a political reason for his respectful request for the confirmation of the Colen appointment. The President knows the opposition to be nothing but an expression of race prejudice, and he thinks, evidently, that to recede from his appointment would be to sanction the spirit of the opposition. This is not like Coolidge; He is for fairness, and he is not so much concerned about race as he is about principle. As long as the opposition rests its case upon race, and nothing more, the President is likely to stand his ground, and rest his position, upon the rule of right and common justice. Cohen may never be confirmed, but the President will remain right as long as he insists that race questions be relegated in behalf of decency and fair play for all alike. Punish Only the Guilty has been very well fed up on man, and about all that can be true of the whole matter there is little or no interest in there is little or no interest in the whole truth of the punishment of innocent so ignorant that they are u rating some of the politicians to the "galleries."

It is hoped his selfish ambition until an orderly investigation ity, or any others who now conscious as are the people to see sure they that no innocent per a politician. THE country has been very well fed up on the Teapot Dome investigation, and about all that can be exposed has been exposed. The truth of the whole matter is now before the people, and there is little or no interest in any investigation which goes beyond revealing the whole truth. The country is not interested in the punishment of innocent men, nor are the American people so ignorant that they are not well aware of the purpose actuating some of the politicians now playing the Teapot Dome case to the "galleries." Let the guilty be punished without favor. But let not a single innocent man be ruined by the politicians. President Coolidge in his New York address delivered February 12, let it be known with sufficient emphasis that the guilty will be properly and hastily punished. He likewise let it be known that the guilt of those responsible for the betrayal of a public trust must be first established according to the rules of the American way of detecting and prosecuting the guilty. Any one clamoring for the life of another must remember that there is a way of doing things, regardless of the subject matter or the personnel involved. That way must be followed, Mr. Barah, et al, to the contrary notwithstanding. There is little virtue in hastening the machinery of the established laws of the land. On the contrary, there is the possibility of great harm. It appears that the clamor for the head of Mr. Daugherty is political, if not even malicious. Certainly it is not based upon any findings, secured in accordance with American standards of investigation, prosecution and conviction. There are some men in political life who would destroy a human soul to carry a selfish purpose to completion. A human life has little or no value in the eyes of these political culprits. They seek men's lives as wild beasts seek their prey. They are character lynchers bent upon self-exalation. If Mr. Daugherty is guilty of any malfeasance or misfeasance in office, that guilt will be established in spite of all forces to the contrary. And if guilt is established President Coolidge will not need even a suggestion from Mr. Borah. Mr. Daugherty will be asked for his resignation immediately. Mr. Borah is trying to impress his individual importance upon the world by demonstrating his ability literally to make the President fire Daugherty. It is hoped his selfish ambitions will be postponed, at least until an orderly investigation reveals the guilt of Mr. Daugherty, or any others who now suffer the enmity of Mr. Borah. Just as anxious as are the people to see guilty suffer, just so determined are they that no innocent person shall be sacrificed to please a politician.

It was noted recently that a certain group of soldiers went on record as opposing Mr. Mellon, the Secretary of the Treasury, because he opposed the 'soldier bonus.' Indeed, it was reported that the soldier-organization declared, through its officers, that Mr. Mellon should and would have opposition as a candidate for delegate-at-large from Pennsylvania to the Republican National Convention.

He will just as effectively answer others who know nothing of the tax problems of the country. If, because a public servant does not see the feasibility and practicability of reducing taxes and paying a bonus to all soldiers, the soldiers are to be allowed to embarrass the government by holding up to scorn and ridicule one of its ablest officials, it will not be long before the American people will lose some of its regard for its soldiery, and will have to regard it as an organization bent upon appropriating from the treasury money for a service rendered at a time when money was not the consideration for service rendered.

Homely Philosophy By Georgia Douglas Johnson The whitling voice of a, belated night traveller steals up to one as he drifts half awake from dream to dream, companionable, vitalizing it 2 atmosphere. The sound of church music falling softly upon the ear of the passer-by, leaves the spirit—is a benediction. Song rising up, like a fountain from the soul sprays the whole being, dissipates fear, and like the dew is refreshing and life giving. One begins to sing because of fear a. then keeps on singing for the lack of fear. Some dark roads lose half their terrors when one members to lift the voice; and moves on singing through the dark. Singing Through the Dark One recalls the old-time story of the boy who whittled as he went along through the dark because he was afraid, with tender emotion. The curtain track of life, not unlike that of a railroad, leads often through dark tunnels and it is then that one may profitably borrow the magic armour of the small boy. We, too, may steal a march on fear as we go singing through the dark. There is something heartening in song. The bitter of the birds in the morning hours lifts the spirit, awakens gladness, displays glory.

WITH a record of seventy-three presidents in one hundred years, and not one of those having come Into power by peaceful methods, it is not surprising that the late uprising in Mexico has been termed "characteristic." Of these seventy-three presidents, one, Porfrio Diaz, "the notorious, ironised dictator," dominated the country for 30 years. Thus 72 presidents rose and fell with less than an average of one year each in office. With this bit of history as a background, the hapless termination of the "Triumphant Trio," which came to the fore as a result of the election in December, 1920, is not surprising. Alvaro Obregon, as president; Elias Plutarco Calles, as secretary of gobernacion (vice president, secretary of the interior and general manager), and Adolfo de la Huerta, as secretary of the treasury, during the past four years have gone a long way in inspiring confidence in their own administration and re-establishing the faith of the world in the Mexican people. These three men, who were boys together in Sonora and lifelong friends, succeeded the unfortunate Carranza. When Carranza was assassinated it was agreed that Huerta should become the provisional president until an election could be held. It was understood that Obregon would become the official president by a vote of the people. The plans worked perfectly. When Obregon was elected he rewarded his two comrades with the chief portfolios in his cabinet. A policy of constructive statesmanship was followed. The President declared publicity: "Mexico is not so foolish as to think that she can live alone or work alone, nor is any such wish in her heart; but what Mexico will ask is a fair partnership in her development. 'We are through forever with the policy of gift, graft and surrender.'" This declaration was hailed as the beginning of a new era. Foreign governments proffered recognition; foreign capital sought investment. It had been agreed between the trio that Calles would follow Obregon. Accordingly, last August Calles resigned his post to actively upon his campaign. It was unofficially understood that Obregon and Huerta backed his candidacy. But the seeds of dissension were sown. It was whispered that Calles sympathized with Lenin's Russian theory. The army-leaders, who chafed under the restraint of military appropriations, called for Huerta, whom they claimed was a better man, both for labor and the "foreign interests". Huerta, emotional and ambitious, lent an ear to these entreaties and left the cabinet in September. He went to Vera Cruz, the most important political and military point in the country, and through Guadalupe, Sanchez, military commander of the district, who betrayed Carranza in 1920—with Sanchez de la Huerta negotiated bargains of treachery. The die was cast. Obregon was forced to maintain his government. The army followed Huerta. So Obregon appealed to Washington and got help. He maintained his government. But even though the rebellion is crushed, Mexico has been more successful since 1816. Yucatan, is an irrequible blow. He backed Obregon's constructive policy by building roads, schools and encouraging the people to own land. The recent struggle has set the country back to where it was in 1920, if no further. Foreign confidence must be built up, and painfully, all over again. Such is the price a nation pays when its leaders think more of self than of the welfare of their fellowmen. PERHAPS the greatest administration scandal since the exposure of General William W. Belkman, secretary of war under President Grant, in 1876, is the Teapot Dome oil affair now arousing the entire country. General Belkman, who had a brilliant Civil War record, was impeached for splitting a $12,000-a-year fee with Caleb F. Marsh, a New York merchant, which was given Marsh by one John S. Evans for having obtained for him the appointment of post trader at Fort Sill, Indian Territory. The Fort Sill appointment was made by General Belkman. Now, forty-nine years later, comes Teapot Dome. In accepting the resignation of Secretary of the Navy Denby, President Coolidge acted wisely, but Denby was assured he left office with no personal censure or condemnation for any of his official acts. The administration reiterated that it believed he had done no wrong. If Denby had done no w. g. then why all the public hysteria? To us it seems the oil committee is going a bit too far in smashing reputations; in insinuating dishonesty and corruption at others. It has been discovered that ex-Secretary of the Interior Fall leased certain naval oil reserves to private corporations, and that Fall received money which might be construed as a bribe for his official act. This is possible. Secretary Denby merely turned over from the navy to the interior department these reserves. This was practical. Because of corruption on Fall's part, it is now popular to brand every man who has ever, at any time, been in the employ of an oil company, as a grafter. This seems eminently unfair. It is the same principle upon which a 'bunching party acts when it burns one victim, then multilates and maltreats others, not because they are guilty of crime, but purely to satisfy its ghoulish glee. If it is to hereafter be a crime in public opinion to be an attorney for corporate interests, and assumed to be guilty purely because fees are accepted for such services, then big business is officially discouraged and given a setback from which it will not soon recover. But we surmise that the oil investigation has degenerated into a game, of political mud-slinging, carefully designed to influence votes next November. The people had best be careful. Corruption and graft should be punished, but innocent persons not directly concerned should not be dragged in along with the guilty. This is against the American sense of fair play. THE death of Wallace Reid, popular film favorite, after his long fight against "dope," aroused the conscience of the people to a concerted effort against the drug evil. Reid's mother wrote to the newspapers asking that they fight with all their might the thing that had killed her boy. Broadides on "the inside story of dope" were poured forth from printing presses. Mrs. Reid, Wally's wife, took he leading role in "Human Wreckage of a dope" play designed to picture the horrors of a "dope friend" life, and warn others not to touch the fateful drug. Competent authorities claim that of every one hundred persons you know, it "certain that at least one is a drug addict. Your par, your doctor, your grocer, your children's teacher may or may not be that one. Checking the traffic of the drug is of first importance, in order to keep youth away who would not begin if they didn't have the first chance. Medical care is required for patients of long st. ing. It is most essential to health and happiness to keep entirely away from this dreaded form of self-enslavement, which, once yielded to, will lead to emaciation, murder and suicide. SATURDAY, MARCH HERETOFORE we have been rather severe in judgement on Prof. Kelly Miller, and out in any way apologizing or retracting the statements, we wish to extend to him for the gratulations for the successful siting of terms of his Sanhéron in Chicago during the week of ruary 11. Franklin, we didn't believe it could be Prof. Miller has simply shown us. For a long time we questioned the advisability such a meeting. It seemed that we had organized for about all alliment from which the race and if said organizations were only given time to come stable with the people, about all the results for could be derived therefrom. But after observing the growth of the Sanhéron, we changed. Prof. Miller maintained that individual organizations would continue to teach their respective spheres as before. The Sanhéron keep the leaders of the individual organization gether, in accord and in touch with each other members of general policy—on the general statements the race. So it was to be a conference of leaders—literally various groups—duly elected by the members of groups for the express purpose of deliberating race leaders of other groups, to agree on what tions all could and should present a united front, get-together was a complete success. The next question is: What did they do? It didn't do anything else, the fact that they met it an achievement—for the first time. But they did. They had an exchange of ideas—which cannot be aured in the present. Thoughtful, temperate and ful discourses were delivered. Take this excerpt, the address of Mr. Vann on the Negro press: "Before we can accept our press as a welfare agency, we must first develop a press adequately for our needs and pledged to function, impartially, for our development. The Negro press has not arrived, it is not stabilized: it is literally in its swaddling clothes. We have not had time to develop a press we have acquired the journalistic training necessary to produce a press. * * * It will require a quarter of a century-to-develop, stabilized press capable of wielding the most needed impartial influence upon various activities of our group." If the other speakers were as honest, in straightforward and fair on their respective roles as was Mr. Vann on the press, then the leaders all know where they stand. If nothing more is done next year, the delegates have enough to occupy minds until then. We cannot begin to see just now how impure the recent conference has been. It will dawn up with the passing of years. But we know that Miller's place in history as a race statesman is even if he lives to carry the idea no further than already gone. M. R. F. EUGENE CORBIE, a Negro student College of the City of New York, recently of the Youth Movement in Germany, was traveling with a party of American dents. He described the German young men and as having a new, Free and hopeful outlook of To the friends of intellectual Germany, it was. No, he was a sooncoming generation was not responsible for the 1914-18 upheaval and morose—to sink under a load that was in union them without their consultation. In America the youth movement recently meeting at Indianapolis, Mr. Corbie was the delegate there: His presence necessitated a need of the race problem in school and colleges, showed the majority of the delegates not open the Negro's presence in dormitories and dining halls. Such meetings will eventually prove a new from which racial tolerance and goodwill will will And young college men who go out in life make the fraternal spirit they got in school toward colored brothers, will help open up new event race expansion and opportunity. Here is hoping that the Youth Movement will in fraternalism and tolerant understanding. FROM a Philadelphia office comes the following Alliance of Colored American Citizens Alliance of Colored American Citizens of United States of America, comprising a ship of one million, five hundred thousand, are usably opposed to the nickname, Negro. We are one hundred per cent Americans by with undivided allegiance. The nickname Negro is used as a derision der—as low, burly, bugly or scare-crow, and sociated with rape, and crime. To be referred to as Negro, as it is used American language, is amissult to American me and American womanhood. This appellation is degrading and pernicious applied to Colored American Citizens. It is not only an insult to the Colored Citizen the United States, but an affront to all other nation the world—whose Colored Citizens are the higher of citizenship both in peace and in war. What you are called doesn't matter, so long isn't intended as a personal insult. Whether you Negroes or not, we are called that, and it remains us to make "Negro" as respectable as "Caucasian" Anglo-Saxon." Whatever we are called, the size of the expression is up to us. It is not the name is what is behind the name. If Negroes are Indians, Indian would have the same significant Negro has now. What we want to do is bring ourselves up to where whatever we are called will prestige and respectability. Just now we are farther that point. IT IS charged that Earle B. Mayfield, son of Texas, was elected by fraud. George E. B. B. who is contesting Mayfield's seat, says the KKL held sway when the ballots were counted some of the boxes were not opened, others open, etc. This case is supposed to be a test, for the KKL Congress. If Mayfield is ousted, it will be official condemnation of the hooded order. If May is allowed to retain his seat, the action will be as the adoption by Congress of a hands of authority. Because of the various interpretations which be placed on congressional action in the Skipjack it is hoped he will be ousted in unmistakable terms repudiation if the elighest taint of fraud or can be discovered.
