Deputies have set out for Knoxville to bring Hampton to this city although there is some doubt expressed as to whether the skeleton is actually that of Edwards mother. Police say that a pair of trousers was found on the bones and that a hair in a comb nearby suggested that the skeleton was probably that of a white person. Edwards claimed he identified the bones as those of his mother by certain trinkets found with them which his mother owned.

It is said that the apparent lack of unity among officials of the University has greatly embattled the university of the Department of the Interior, for he made a strong recommendation for the additional appropriation for the school, and to Senators of the committee who have fought for the measure.

Mar. 18.—The form the state uses to govern its statewide murder, has, passed its crisis, and the citizens of the city, by virtue of their support to the banner of Rev. Edgar E. Ricks, are giving the lie to the scandal story anoint, Rev. Ricks and a member of the church, which 'caused a seven-days' sensation in the newspapers. Enemies of Dr. Ricks have carried their efforts to defame Rev. Ricks so far that public sentiment is swinging in his favor. This was emphasized last Sunday, when, more than 40 members of the church that did not venerate itself" gathered at the Roosevelt Memorial temple, together with hundreds of friends and sympathizers. Ricks' Enemies Active. One of the most cowardly acts perpetrated since the scandal was first aired, occurred Sunday afternoon, just before the services, when enemies of Dr. Ricks scattered obscene and vulgar cards, littering the street in front of the temple, announcing that Ricks would speak and intimidating the charges for which he fused trial. Resentment over the cards reached fever-heat here Sunday, evening, and summary vengeance was threatened if the person or persons scattering the cards, became known.

It is belic ' that the Pullman Company in an effort to influence the Portors will cite the fact that that Company is employing Negroes in its shops in large numbers, under th' claim that this policy is the result of the company's fairness to the Race, rather than the result of economic conditions and the restrictions on immigration. While the portors are pleased to know that conditions make it possible for men of the race to receive such employment, the fact remains that the wages paid portors for the services they render, are inadequate to meet the portors' economic needs. Also the fact that the Pullman Company has widely advertised the 8% increase which is less than 16 cents a day to each 'orter, has seriously effected the source of income derived from tips, because of the false impression riven 'the public. Name of Girl Who Was Attacked When She Answered "Employment" Ad Withheld. The operations of a white fiend who for some time has been preying on young girls in his office in a downtown building are expected to come to a sudden end with the completion of a trap which has been impaired by police power. The man's arrest is imminent, police say, and the expose of such a character will be one of the most important arrests made in recent history. The chain of evidence that has been linked together around the nich fiend reached its end during the past week when another mother reported to police that her daughter had suffered a brutal assault when she implicated her in the man's offence. Police are withholding the girl's name at the request of the mother. The unscrupulous scheme employed by the man was revealed by the mother. She said her daughter had been sent to the paper for a girl to do office work, and the mother, pany with the mother, the man said the girl might go to work immediately and that it would not be necessary for the mother to remain. The salary promised to the girl was temptingly large and she eagerly accepted the position. The mother had gone but a few moments when the friend seized the girl and attacked her. The mother was building and told her mother, who reported it to police. According to their records, similar cases have been reported.

Montgomery held many positions of honor and trust in his home state, Mississippi. At one time he was a member of the legislature, the Constitutional Convention, and was a real power in Republican politics. His masterly address before the United States Commission in New York, which won the Mississippi Levee, stamped him as an orator, diplomat and speaker of unusual power.

(2) includes a bill or rights, following exactly the reading of the bill of rights in force in Porto Rico, except for one of two verbal charges made necessary by local conditions. (3) Provides for citizenship for native Virgin Islanders who live in the Virgin Islands or in the United States.

Young Morris, who has so successfully preached the gospel of interracial "good will" in the South, has been invited by social welfare groups to deliver addresses to large audiences of both races. The orator's recent speech before white female college in North Carolina, an event said to be unprecedented, has attracted nationwide attention and enthusiasm. A number of associations of the other group have urged Mr. Morris to appear before them. The spokesman indicated that he hoped to accomplish some genuine service for his race by means of his forensic efforts. In 1916-1917 Mr. Morris leaped into the limelight by winning first prize in a contest over ten white contestants in an oratorical fray in the Mt. Vernon High School, New York, later he was awarded a trophy by Dr. Nicholas Muray Butler, president of Columbia university. Haitian Government Continues To Improve PORT-AU-PRINCE, Hayti; March 13.

Race Tenants To Organize Against Chicago Rent 'Hogs Landlords Demanding Increases From 50 to 200 Per Cent On Thousands of Migrants. CHICAGO, Mar. 13.—"Landlords of Chicago will raise their tenants as much as they can because to fight rent increases tenants must go to court and make a costly fight. The laws which protect tenants are few and can only be invoked through the courts," said T. G. Vance, president of the Tenants' League of Chicago. Landlords in the South Side where Negroes live have "run wild" he said. They are demanding rent increases of from 50 to 200 percent. The thousands of Negroes who have come from the south are being forced to rent homes in the Negro districts. Three and four and often more families are being forced to live in one flat. On the edge of the colored districts apartments are being rented to Negroes for twice as much as the rents which were being charged whites. Vance said that in one apartment house on Calumet avenue flats which had been renting for $45 were being rented to Negroes for $120. At 42nd and State streets in one apartment building Negroes are being charged $55 for flats for which white families pay $47. At the present time white and colored people are living in the same building and paying different rents for the same sized flats. On the northwest side six and seven room apartments which rented for $55 are being raised to $200. The Tenants' League sees no hope for the workers whose rent is increased by the landlords except organization. They point out that the courts can do little for the tenant and the landlord, the rent might be able to have the raise slightly reduced, but it could not continue the old rates. The remedy lies elsewhere. "United action is the only way the tenants can fight the landlords," Vance said. Unknown Hero Saves Judge; Slips Away CHICAGO, Ill.; March 13—(A. N.

(Crusader Service) KANSAS CITY, Mo., March 13. Newman, a city detective, wanted by the grand jury for torturing prisoners, sent in his resignation today by mail. The torturing resulted from frantic efforts of police to make innocent men confess to the crime of January 19, when the cashier of the Irving Pitt Manufacturing Company was black-jacked, the police guard disarmed and $13,000 taken, by three men supposed to have been Negroes. January 23 the police grabbed three convenient Negroes, named Ramsey, Jones and Johnson, and began to "swat" them. After ten hours of torture they claimed they had obtained detailed (though contradictory) confessions from all three. Beaten to a Pulp. John L. Kirkpatrick, their attorney, that evening swore out habeas corpus writs, and after some delay the three were surrendered. They were in terrible shape. All three had been beaten and kicked, their ears torn, their face masses of their burs, and beaten, be marked from shoulders to knees by the rubber hose. They were examined by a doctor, to at once ordered Ramsey to the hospital. Ramsey's scalp had been cut to shreds, his hands had been burned, and more than two-fifths of the skin beaten off his body. He contracted pneumonia the next day and is still in a critical condition.

Every Christian minister of the state who stands for anything ought to lift his voice against the night "pienics" that run all summer to make money out of the souls of the unsupervised young boys and girls of the state. It is almost impossible to rear the ideal boy or girl. They compete in schools. Lessons attempt to put over the same dirty program, carried on in other schools. The teachers fail to cope with the situation because the parents are failing to back them. "There are children in our city who are a menace to the system. The principal does not expel them because he knows that oftimes he would be persecuted instead of supported. Occasional expulsion makes the student; body know that some things will not be tolerated. In the days of President Inman E. Page, Langston was well equipped, compared to other State schools. The discipline was excellent until that terrible change swept over the country with seeming little trouble. Communities which many school hoods were unwake. This was succeeded by a craze for gambling, dancing and joy-riding. Young men learned to curse, smoke and drink. Parents are asleep to these terrible changes in school life." "Many schools have decided that nothing can be done about it. Smoking rooms for young ladies were opened, but school heads have learned that the degraded spirit that would lead a young woman to curse, drink and swear demanded even lower indulgences. Wear Men's Clothes. "If many parents realized how low discipline has slipped in many schools, they would be appalled. The smoking type demanded next the right to wear men's clothes, to stay out late and finally not to come in at all. They were attending drinking parties, petting parties and even lower forms of sex. There has come a revolt from all this in recent schools. I have been teaching for 20 years in schools that refused to give in to things in the beginning. Some white schools of the country that did, have been forced to expel whole groups of students who wanted to go on with the old ways. "Progressive journals all over the country have made parents aware of these revolting changes in school life. The general sentiment is to get back. Only the strongest men are able to grapple with and conquer such conditions. Parents must be able to understand and to come to the support of the teacher brave enough to conquer these conditions that are making children impossible to control. Many parents are ruled by their daughters because they are afraid of the things they might do in the face of the slightest opposition. If the schools gain this battle, we shall find discipline easier in the home. Dr. Young faces this problem at Langton; curbing the spirit of insubordination and casting out all that is 'demoralizing to intellectual life. He has a gigantic task: one before which experienced school heads are flinching. Teachers Questionable. The general sentiment is that these things are right because they are so universal. The average teacher is engaged in these questionable pastimes. One of our city schools that had a principal with backbone, has the unique record of dismissing at Christmas time two teachers, who went away during the holidays to enjoy themselves with TWO OF THE PUPILS IN some of the red light past-times that are popular in school life today. Oklahoma used to wink, if the parties had influence. Thank God those days are passing. There must be an unfinishing attitude on the part of the regents, trustees and school heads to clear these things out of our schools. All that is needed is unfinishing courage on the part of the head. If we are cowards, children know it by instinct. We do not have to have physical strength; only an INDOMATIBLE WILL, with the back of the Board of real men behind the school head. I remember taking charge of a school where the most advanced girl had gone away to school and she entertained the children the first recess, with the girls she had RUN THINGS at the Texas school. I am made peculiar. What I heard was like a challenge to a war horse. If we are self controlled and of firm will it is impossible for us to be afraid of youth. When school reassembled the first thing she did, I challenged her courage. If you have not brains enough to know how, do not try it. If God is not with you, you will not dare. This girl and I were the greatest of them, the academic course. She was the first girl graduated. Children are the greatest admirers of unfinishing courage. In a way they worship it. You do not have to knock a man down to be his master. All you have to do is to be unafraid of him. He will know, you will not have to tell him. At the Sapulpa Training School, there were many things that students never dared to do. The first term I packed up and sent home a girl who was unfit to enter school. The fact lived on down the life of the school. YOU CANNOT DO SOME THINGS HERE and they were attempted. Behind me stood an unfit man. Behind me orable courageous men, who said depraved characters cannot be admitted and when discovered MUST BE SENT HOME. Teachers who understand the importance of CHARACTER can so impress the board behind them. If they possess CHARACTER themselves they can win the backing of the board. Teachers should keep the board informed of students a menace to moral growth of the school. When the school heads act they are WITH HIM. A record of the student's misconduct should be filed and also sent to both the family and to the district leader of the community who will defend the school and the courageous faculty—should the student, who has not made good, seek to defame the school and its consecrated faculty. You should not insult the intelligence of a courageous body and watch them. Yet I am up and aware of disorder: No school can be greater than the SOUL of its head. If he has a great SOUL from the beginning he will take the initiative and impress his ideals upon the school. We are unfit for leadership unless we are willing to look on all sides of a question. In the matter of race advance we must grow strong enough to know no brother or sister, wife or friend when it comes to the matter of right or wrong. Even we must seek understanding knowing that when we find it, that things become better for all of us.

C., March 13—Benjamin Tanner Johnson, director of sales and advertising for the Royal Knights of this city, in an open letter to Presidents of Negro Colleges, charges that race schools are not "hitting the mark", that they do not reach not affect "the common man." Mr. Johnson signs himself as "a graduate of one of your colleges" and "also a product of the graduate school of Business Administration at Harvard University." He has been a confidential junior executive in a large New England organization. His letter states in part: A Suggestion "It is all very well and good for our students to study about Ignatius, Poinin and Count d'Artois, but it is immensely more important to attack the vital everyday problems and dispose of them. I agree that Negro schools must have the same currencies, white schools, never ourselves our schools must have than that if we are to help a benighted people. The larger universities are attacking present day problems of civilization by adding numerous modern courses to their curricula and eliminating many of the ancient ideas on education. "Negro schools must definitely link up with the condition of the masses and through intelligent publicity control the thinking apparatus of the man farthest down. Instead of taking an abstract, provincial, and hypothetical point of view, the college professor through the Associated Negro Press, and through various business and fraternal organizations should extricate himself from his' academic environment and see whether what he is teaching is hitting the mark."

Cut off by flames which filled the halls and stairways, 13 persons were rescued from windows and the roof of a three-story frame apartment house here early last Tuesday morning. Three families were made homeless. The building was completely destro ed, the loss being estimated at $20,000. The Rescued. BENJAMIN MORGAN, his wife and four children, occupants of the second floor apartment. JAMES MORGAN, his wife and four children, occupants of the third floor apartment. Mrs. Lena Washington and her four-year-old daughter Alice, also occupants of the third floor, were located from the roof of the building where they had climbed to escape the scorching flames. The fire is said to have broken out in the hallway of the building on the first floor, which is used as a salesroom. When the tenants of the upper floors were aroused the flames had gained such headway that their escape was cut off and all ran to windows. A watchman in a nearby building turned in an alarm and when the fire department arrived few minutes later the centre building was filled in flames. The members of the two Morgan families were standing at the windows screening for help. Mrs. Washington had lifted her daughter from the window to the cornice and in a manner that mystified the firemen, climbed to the roof herself. Y. M. C. A.

ANNOUNCEMENT Dr. J. A. Cottam, announces to his former patients and friends that he will reopen his former office at 2171 Wylie avenue. Dr. Cottam has been practicing in New York City for a number of months, during which time he took a post graduate course in diabetes at the Columbia University by the famous insurlin method. We feel sure that Dr. Cottam's return will mean quite a deal to many of his former patients. His recent arrest certainly needed the openness and with the opening of the Livingstone Memorial Hospital it is certain that his services will be in demand. Mrs. Cottam's health has not been very much benefited by their being in New York and this accounts for the change. His many friends will welcome his return.

There one factor that stood out prominently in her life and that was when she thought she was right there was no swervinging compromise. Her heart went out! those in need of times, depriving herself for others. She is now enjoying the fruits of the many sacrifices and services of a well spent life.

Out-Of-Town Society TRENTON, NEW JERSEY The Trenton Dramatic club composed of amateur local talent is now rehearsing two productions, namely, "Within the Law" and "Bought and Paid For." These plays will be presented to the Trenton public in early spring and the period following Lent. The rehearals are being directed under the supervision of Mr. David Labarre Graham, well known in local dramatic circles. It may be of interest to the readers to know that Mr. Graham, who is an active worker in community interests and a prominent member of the Bachelor-Benedict's club, is largely responsible for the establishment and existence of the Trenton Dramatic club. It will be remembered that last year this club presented to the public in various cities of the state a drama called the "The Finger of Scorn." The success of this production under the direction of Mr. Graham was evident by the fact that it was rendered fifteen times and further requests are still on record. The stellar roles in the proposed plays will be represented by Mrs. H. L Jamison and Miss Edith Moten, respectively, supported by Edward L. Lennard, John Hopkins, S. S. Dade, H. Hill, A. Hill, P. Brachy, Mrs. Phil Bracy, Miss Ruth Skillman, Mrs. Binn and Mifflin T. Gibbs. Miss Moten is strongly supported in "Bought and Paid For" by Miss M.

Home Building. "During the past six years thousands of Negroes have bought lots in and around Charleston, Huntington, Beckley and other towns in the State with the intent of erecting homes thereon. Most of these persons bought the lots on the installment plan and it will take them years to save enough money to pay for building a modest home. In order to meet this great need, two building and loan associations have been formed by Negroes with the capital of $225,000.00. One is located at Charleston and the other at Beckley. These associations are teaching the Negro thrift, and, with the money of those in position to invest and the savings of those who pay on installment stock from to to many Negroes are enabled to build homes otherwise would be reserved for many years or all of their lives. These two associations are but a drop in in the bucket of actual needs, but they are long steps in the right direction and others are sure to be organized as the home ownership and thrift campaigns being conducted by this office and through other agencies impress the people with the usefulness of building and Joan associations in aiding the wage earner to acquire a home.

For the first time in many years the aged man saw the outside of the prison walls Tuesday, but only the sternest business could command his presence outside the enclosure where he spent his youth, his years of labor and toll and where he is now spending his old age. He was a witness before the grand jury in the indicting of five men for murdering two guards at the prison during the dynamiting plot last month. "I've been down there so long," the old man said, in a peculiar high-pitched voice, "that the penitentiary is home for me now." Deputy wardens, deputy sheriffs and personnel were permitted in the gate room where the prisoners were waiting the call to go before the jury, gathered about to hear the old man's story. "Doing time in the penitentiary" sources of $50,000.00 and a reserve of equal amount has been recently formed by Negroes of this State and is doing a splendid business. This is the first insurance company ever organized and operated by Negroes in West Virginia and thousands of dollars which have heretofore gone to companies outside of this state will remain here to be invested in bonds of Negro enterprises and first mortgages on real estate owned by Negroes. "In real estate, development and mortgage companies formed during the period covered by this statement $125,000.00 have been invested; mercantile companies—$95,000.00; business connected with fraternities and institutions—$300,000.00; insurance—$20,000.00. Not being content to merely look after the living and give over the buoying of the dead to others, two Negro undertaking and embalming companies were incorporated with capital of $15,000. and our reports indicate that both of them are doing a thriving business. Kanawha County leads with ten of the corporations; McDowell County has five; Raleigh and Mercer three; each; Ohio, Cabell, Harrison; Marshall and Fayette have have one each. "All of the corporations covered in this statement are doing business and none of them have conducted a state-wide stock selling campaign either by letters or through agents. Except in the case of hotels and theatres, these figures do not cover drug and grocery stores and theatres. The state has started by individual Negroes during the past two years and which are still being operated by them. "The Bureau of Negro Welfare and Statistics has encouraged and aided in the formation of a number of Negro business enterprises to serve special needs of the Race and the reports in its office indicate that the Negroes of West Virginia are undergoing an economic awakening which will increase the present rate of employment in far greater development of all classes of business and the ownership of more and better homes and farms." Coroner's Jury Holds Killing Justified James Costley, Who Surrendered After Waugh's Death, Shot In Defense. That James Costley was justified in shooting Robert Waugh on March 3, following a quarrel ove. Costley's mother, was the verdict of the coroner's jury handed down last Friday. According to testimony both men had weapons and Costley acted in self-defense. Costley surrendered to officials following Waugh's death in Passavant hospital. Scott Found Guilty On Charge of Murder Warren Scott, aged 35 years, was found guilty of murder in the first degree Wednesday morning in Criminal Court, when a sealed verdict was read by visiting Judge J. W. Boughton of McKean county. Scott was convicted of murdering his common-law wife, Frances Scott, in their home, 3 Franklin Way, last September 18.

Allen is passable to see his many friends at any of these services. these days is like playing house to what it was when I was a young fello, and first went in," the old man said. "The first time I ever saw the inside of the penitentiary was one nice morning 'way back in 1869. No matter what for, but I was sent in for 30 years. I served 25 of them, and the first 15 years of that time I never saw a human face except the man that handed my food in through the bars to me. Washing days were days of great pleasure, for a man got out to walk a piece, but they pulled a bag over your head before you stepped out of the cell and you saw nothing at all. And just think of how men carry on like these men did, with the grand way we are treated now," he said. Jasper said that he learned to read and write while a prisoner. "Education didn't do me much good," he said, "for when I got out I went to forgin checks and back I went again. Oh, well," he sighed, "the penitentiary bad so bad these days. I like it to'able well now." Near Riot Staged In Hill District; Several Wounded Near Riot Staged In Hill District; Several Wounded A near riot was staged on Sunday at 1925 Bedford avenue, according to police, who state that one Mrs. Joseph Chizek (white), 40 years old, accidentally stopped on the fingers of little Ethel George, 9 years old, who was playing in front of her home. The child screamed and her parents ran to the street. Members of both races rushed to the scene and became involved in an argument. Blows were struck and weapons drawn as the crowd grew. In a short time the battle was waging furiously. One white man and a colored man drew rioters. Both escaped with the crowd which fled before police could make any arrests. William Crosby, 32 years old, colored, of 1925 Bedford avenue, was arrested on the scene and taken to the Center avenue police station in connection with the disorder. A score of persons with their faces and hands cut and bleeding fled before police arrived, according to persons in the vicinity who watched the battle from windows. It is estimated that at least 20 persons were hurt. Police and detectives are making an effort to ascertain the identity of persons who took part in the fracas. THE INVESTED ROBERT S.

Three special elevated trains of 15 coaches and a caravan of autos carried South Side fans to the far North Side, the scene of battle From the moment the first whistle blew, Phillips was at a disadvantage. Lane had a perfect machine built around Billie Watson, the colored center; their team play was dazzling and of truly championship calibre. Phillips playing on a strange floor appeared to lose his morale and was a bit rough. Capt. Lester Johnson and Spears, center, were ruined out for personal fouls. At one time Watson of Lane was almost put out of the game by a vicious kick in the groin. He came back, however, and Lane's victory was safe, for Watson proved to be a team in his himself and the Walkin ring as they cheered his name. Lane was given 14 chances to score by the free throw route, but netted only two. Watson missed his entire five tries. Boy Slaney, Lane's star standing guard, didn't get into the scoring—it wasn't his job—but he never failed to stop. Wendell Phillips, forwards. The remaining four lads scored for Lane, Watson leading with three ringers. Captain Farris and Edie Chilimlewski each caged two haskets and Dave Short netted one. Wendell Phillips will be tendered a citizens' banquet March 21.

LORAIN, O., March 13—Howard Ross, Lorain High School athlete, who finishes school here in June, is one of the greatest athletes ever turned out in Northern Ohio. When Ross laid up his track, football and baseball togs last year, he established for himself a record that will stand for years of assault. During his three years of college competition, Ross earned 12 letters; three in football, three in baseball, three in basketball and three in track. He is the second athlete to ever earn that many letters. Ross became ineligible this year because of a new Ohio high school ruling, which allows a player to compete in athletics but three years. Entered School in 1920 The athlete entered Lorain in 1920, and earned his first letter playing football. He was a wonderful halfback, and was the first freshman to make his letter in football. He also won his "L" in track, baseball and basketball in 1922. In his freshman record, he won four letters, establishing a new record earned. In 1921-22 he also earned four letters, and was chosen captain for the 1923 track team that took third place in the State meet at Columbus. He is the only race athlete to have ever been elected to lead any Lorain team. Stars in Every Branch In track last year, he broke two records in the javelin throw. At Cleveland, he threw the javelin a distance of 158 feet five and a half inches, and at Columbus broke his own record, when he hurled the spear 173 feet. He pitched two no-hit games last year, being the only athlete to have ever accomplished this feat in this part of the state. Last year, Lorenain won the Ohio State basketball championship, and Ross was one of the main reasons why they won. He was chosen All-State guard of Ohio and received a silver loving cup for being the most valuable man on the championship team. This season, Ross is playing with the Lorain Lions, a strong independent team. Ross will enter college next year, through the efforts of the business men of his home town, who have promised to raise the necessary funds. He is five feet 10 inches tall and weighs 167 pounds.

The Pittsburgh Giants, Sell Hall's team, will re-open the old Central Park grounds this year, and with one of the strongest teams Pittsburgh has yet seen.

Central Park Obtained Central Park has been obtained from former owner Williams; Sell Hall now holding the less on the grounds, and on the weather perceptions, as on the reconstruc-tion of the grandstand, playing field and bleachers, will be started.

Cleveland Hopes To Have Ball Club In National League CLEVELAND, O. March 13—Long worked out plans for a local team in the Negro National League have about been completed and it is almost a certainty that the Cleveland Browns, the new club, will be represented in the Foster circuit. A syndicate of young business men have placed $4,000 behind the new enterprise and an additional $3,000 will be raised to put it on a firm financial footing. A long term lease on Hooper Field, formerly known as Tate Field, has been negotiated and Geo. R. Hooper, the wealthy owner of that park, is co-operating entitlement with the Fifth City back in baseball in a big way. He plans to put in between 300 and 400 new box seats and greatly enlarge the bleachers. None of the old owners of the Tate Stars are connected with this movement. Sol White, veteran baseball player, is to be manager and expects to be able to announce some classy players, who will be here, in the next week or so. Several star players, who were with the Eastern League last year, are practically lined up. Probably not over three or four of the old Tate players will be in local uniforms this season. L. L.

C's of Indianapolis, left the city Wednesday morning for New York to go into spring training with the Lincoln Giants.

And thus we see old another point in its great ar WE NOTE that the M. E. Church, white, has yielded to the "will of the people" and has withdrawn its former ruling with respect to card playing and dancing among its members. The surrender, in order to have some degree of justification, permits the members to determine for themselves whether they should play cards or dance. The hope was expressed that the "liberty given the members" will not serve as a license, but will place the members on their honor not to violate what is known to be the "wishes of the church," as it were. We express no surprise that the people have won another victory. The people generally win, because, in the final analysis of things, the people rule. This is true no less in church than in state. The church organization holds to certain regulations as long as there is any effort made on the part of the members to observe the regulations. But when it becomes notorious that the members are making burlesque of the regulations, then there is found a way to relax the regulations to the point where the conduct of the members will not do violence to the rules. The church yields, in almost every instance. It is a sad commentary that the church should yield. It is a sad admission that the people are rebuilding the church, but they are. If they want to dance, they simply dance until the church admits that it is better to "permit dancing" than to lose the members. This practice is extended to cards with the same results. It will be extended to the next past time which seizes the people as have cards and dancing; and the church will, in all probability, yield to the next craze. Gradually, but steadily, the discipline is being eaten out of the church organization—simply because the people will not be disciplined beyond the point of their own selfish comforts and pleasures. One organization has said: you may play cards and dance—if you will, although we prefer that you do not. The result: They will play cards and dance. And thus we see the church organization yield another point in its great argument against sin. 12 Miles Out—! this country is in the throes of hard work, what kind of hysteria, either.

It does not matter what kind of hysteria, either. The country is simply mad for some kind of excitement. If the mob does not launch forth upon some mission of crime, then wild gossip takes the wings of the morning and sets the world agog—about nothing. For the past few years, we have been trying to make the people believe that the Eighteenth Amendment, to the Constitution represents the will of the people of the United States. Just how well we have succeeded is shown by the number of arrests of drunken persons: the number of deaths of persons who use poison concoctions as a substitute for liquor, as well as the violations of the letter and spirit of the law by persons who think more of their own personal desires than they do the laws. As "Dry" as this country is on the books, it is about as wet as any country on earth. It is not so alarming that it is wet because it is easier to evade the Eighteenth Amendment after so many years of evasion of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments; but it is alarming that the people do not object to sending all their money into other countries for the very same liquor that this country once made and sold to its own citizens and the world at a huge profit. It seems a shame that we should allow our citizens to give to the rum running boats just 12 miles out all the hard-carned money we can find, when we cannot find money with which to pay a soldier bonus, nor the expenses of government without an enormous income tax. Surely, British ships must laugh at our consistency. We forbid Americans having light wines and beer under the laws of the land, just because a few neurotics think the country is "dry." And yet we full well we are spending millions every year in other lands for higher-priced liquors than this country ever manufactured. At one time liquor was the exclusive luxury of the wealthy; but now, any man with the price can find the supply. Law enforcement loses heart in the face of foreigners getting rich over night by selling to thirsty Americans an inferior brand of beverages. Moonshiners have little to fear if they make us good as we are buying from John Bull, et al. Indeed, there is a kind of tolerance, with a touch of local pride, for the home brew. Already, we are turning out "aged" liquor made since the Volstead law. It is but a question of time, when we will be competing with the boats 12 miles out, and the Eighteenth Amendment will be as dead in spirit as the Fifteenth.

To seek political office is to expose one's self to public gaze, and the public gazes steadily and with sincerity. When the governor was a candidate for his present office, he was telling the people what his platform would be. He was telling the voters what he would do and what we would not go. He was the typical candidate, with his mouth filled with promises, some too trivial to have any meaning, while others were too extreme in character to deserve serious thought. Perhaps the one promise he made as a candidate, which, since he cost him more popularity than all of his official errors, was the promise to put every one of his appointees under a pledge to him personally. Almost every one who heard the pre-election statement thought it one of the many campaign statements made to attract hearsay, but too impracticable to be enforced.

Its work extended far beyond education, embracing abandonment with food and clothing. Gen. Howard was appointed Commissioner. The Bureau founded many schools in localities which had been in the line of the Union armies, and these with the others established by its agency, were placed under some systematic supervision. In some states schools were carried on entirely by aid of the funds of the Bureau, but it had the co-operation and assistance of religious and benevolent societies. 105. Wbw was Nora Garden. 105.

WILDER HOUWAY 24 EDITOR'S MAIL Editor, The Pittsburgh Courier: I assure you that the Alumni of Howard University, and fatiminded men everywhere, will applaud your judicial attitude in the recent misunderstanding concerning the appropriations for the medical school. Your publication of Prof. Kelly Miller's explanation will set the public right upon this important issue. I have searched the record of the Senate and find that President Durke was the author of the compromise on the $500,000 for the medical department. On page 35 of the Senate hearings on the interior department bill Dr. Durkee said that all that he insisted upon was the item of $207,500 for maintenance. Senator Phipps then asked a series of questions to bring out the necessity of the half million for medical school (pages 36-37), but Dr. Durkee left the stand insisting upon the maintenance item and surrendering the $500,000 for our medical department (page 38). It was, perhaps, sound strategy to jettison this splendid provision for our seriously-handicapped medical school in order to save the preferred item of maintenance, for the whole was in danger of being lost, the House having struck out all provisions for current expenses, and the House appropriations committee would not even report the item for the medical school. Our best friends there said that this latter item was simply unthinkable this year, and the rest the would support was the item of $207,500 for upkeep. We were all glad the Senate gave us what the president of the university was unwilling to ask for in the exigency, but we do object to him placing the blame at the door of Prof. Miller, easily our greatest alumnus and faithful worker for our alma mater for a generation. When Prof. Miller penned his note to Senator Smoot he was but the spokesman of Dr. Durkee and the steering committee called at the President's behest. Not only has Prof. Miller served his alma mater before congress, many times before and spread her fair name throughout the land by his profound scholarship and invaluable race service, but for 20 years he has been the unfailing champion of the colored schools before that same body. The school laws of 1900 and 1906 under which we are now working never would have contained the butresses of Negro rights had it not been for him. He contended for equality of salaries between white and black teachers and officers, and equality in dignity, powers and duty in the offices of white and colored heads of our systems. He has been the head of the many battles we have had to fight to get our share of the funds for physical equipment for the colored schools, and has constantly informed congress of our needs and deserts. Certainly, a great career is due the consideration you have given it. (Signed) Neval H. Thomas. Washington, D. C. THE-DIGEST By Floyd J. Calvin Copyright, 1924, by Pittsburgh Courier Pub. Co. BRIGADIER GENERAL CHARLES G. DAWES, former director of the budget for President Hard- ing, now heads a commission of experts who have been studying economic Germany to determine her capacity to pay reparations. The commission finds that "with the application of common sense," Germany can again get on her feet, and deliver 33 billion dollars over a period of 32 years. When Dawes made his initial speech in Paris he said to Europe: "The re-establishment of German productivity is the starting point of European prosperity." Then he said to America: "I read in shame and humiliation the outpouring of the American nationalistic demagogues who undertake to lecture Europe in order to lift themselves into some petty office, or to maintain their political popularity." This speech was an eye-opener, not only because of its truthfulness and fearlessness, but because it was accepted as the American attitude toward her former aides and her former foe. Her position of aloofness, to long maintained, was at last officially broken, and broken in a business-like way. Without any political significance being attached to the move, this government has sought to effectually co-operate with the rest of the world in bringing some kind of order out of the chaos that followed the Versailles Treaty. Europe can well accept the American commission's suggestion and recommendations. The personnel of this committee is such as to inspire confidence and allay apprehension. Dawes made good in directing the budget of our own country. His two other associates represent basic economic interests. With these men of affairs, representing economic growth and economic stability at the head of a financial determining commission, upon hearing their final report, both Europe and America will know in which direction lay the path of true reconstruction. THE oil committee has slashed reputations right and left, besmirched character without hesitation, and recklessly cast a dark shadow over the memory of the late President Harding. At this rash step some thoughtful citizens revolted, but the public, hysterical, was swept on by the wave of destructive sentiment created by the probers. Daugherty, Fall and Doherty, all Harding appointees, have fallen on every occasion. Doherty resigned, but withoutensure for net cash in office. Fall quit before Harding ended his reverence is still in, but the possibility is that he will go. The man who is the central figure for accusation is Fall. Since he quit before Harding passed, it might be supposed that Mr. Harding was instrumental in his going. It is obvious that the late President was a victim of his friends. In published interviews since his death it is disclosed that he personally never aspired to the presidency. It was literally thrust upon him. He had hoped to end his days calmly and peacefully in the Senate. But certain of his friends saw a chance to rise themselves if they could but elevate him. He agreed to enter the Ohio primaries only after digging insistence and untiring persuasion. When he was elected President he did in private that he had always thought the cabinet jobs would go to the President-elect's friends. But, he said, he had discovered, to his sorrow, that such a thing could not be done. He selected Hughes, Mellon and Hoover purely on their merits. He picked Work on practically the same basis. He chose Davis because of personal friendship and because of his material success. Daugherty was his old friend in Ohio. Fall was his comrade in the Senate. Weeks got in through friends. Denby was the last selected—because of his record in Congress and because he had been an enlisted man. Will Hayes, of course, was a political appointment. Thus a cabinet was drawn up that was based partly on merit and partly on personal inclinations and personal preferment. Some of the President's friends failed him. disappointed him, but that is only human. Some of Wilson's appointees did the same. Wilson merely dismissed them and nothing was said. Harding didn't live to witness the perfidy and infamy of some of his close associates, but there is no doubting that he would have cleaned them up thoroughly. To even insinuate that Harding was less than a man of honesty and integrity is to be guilty of base unethical conduct, not to mention the impropriety of striking at a reputation whose maker is past defending it. CONCERNING our remarks on the Reverend Dr. Francis James Grimke and the $207,000.Howard University appropriation, Mr. George S. Schuyler, contributing editor of The Messenger, has written as follows: To The Digest: Well, I got your shot this morning; pretty good stuff, but hardly apropos; not dealing with opinion. However, I won't courier over a matter of taste. I have a real quarret with you, however, over the blurb on Grimke. I think we need a whole lot more Grimkes, white and black. You are wrong on nearly every point you raise. The appropriation to Howard University is not a favor, but a right in law. This is true of all land grant colleges. Negroes have so long been accustomed to handouts from white platoocrats and their lawyers' soviet in Washington that they do seek to really ascertain what they are use, and right for it on that basis. If someone who have courage to work with silenced in and out of the so-called educational system, then I doubt whether these institutions are of any further value—except to the Chambers of Commerce and Merchants and Manufacturers' Association in turning out goose-stepping robots to assist in the further enslaving morally and mentally of the vast army of wage slaves. It seems to me the object of education is to teach people to use what we call their minds; instead of that, it is becoming a method of filling the young minds with fictions, superstitions and myths—regimentation and standardization. No nation can really progress ver far forward under such a bogus "educational" system. There is hardly, any more private judgment everywhere is public ophion; the greater is objection to the use of the thought of thought is only characteristic of babbarians—just what the American people are, with all their electric lights, automobiles, bathtubs, gas stoves, 100 family apartment houses, steel mills and subways. One of the biggest superstitions kept alive by our "educational" system in school, college, text-books, libraries and newspapers, is that of the inferiority of the Negro and Negroid peoples. The churches and most of the legislatures accept it. Even our "intellectual" Negroes are beginning to accept it. It was only through the protests of a handful of New York teachers (a small handful at that) that a Jim-Crow Vocational High School was kept from being foisted on Harlem, which had already been slated to receive interior equipment. Southern teachers trained to segregate the poor from the poor, more Grimkes, at the loss of $207,000. What if a race gain riches and lose manhood? I suppose you consider this some radical diatribe, I am the hard and fair adherent of no particular social or economic creed, but I can see a long way off. I feel that we are doomed for the slough of decadence unless our churches and schools are freed from the O'Neill's Play To The Digest: EDITORIAL domination of the interlocking money grabbers that makes free private judgment out of the question "socialist propaganda" either.

We do not only that there is the method of "The peror Jones." But the truth is of each a nature for is better left untold. It is not typical. And for it is a phase that is rapidly passing. As we have before, Negroes are satisfied with their own very many of whom are just as white as Ella Downing's possess a still whiter heart and soul. So it is to thrust upon an uninviting public something that only be refused with disgust. THE question of prohibition has provided to If a man wants a toddy, shall he take a Nine cases out of ten he takes. And then situtes the flagrant violation of the Eighte- Amendment, which is a nation-wide scandal. One of the foundation pillars upon which thie- ry rests is personal liberty. The question of wi- de a man wants a drink & not is personal. If he too much and runs an attack, there are statutes of descriptions to take care of any crime or misde- he may commit. But to say by law that he must take a drink is invading personal grievous. We do not drink, nor would we advise con- vise anybody else to drink. But we would be pointedly that they must not drink.

TO COMMEMORATE the heroic deeds of New soldiers and sailors who fought in all the wars of our country, and the World war, is what National Memorial Association, led by Ferdinand Lee, wants to erect a national memorial building for soldiers at Washington. The plea continues: "From Bunker Hill to the Argonne covers a part in the history of the world that can never be erad. The first blood shed on American soil in the rebellion English tyranny was that of a Negro. That time until now the record of the Negro in Army and Navy has never been questioned. Deeds of bravery, their loyalty and patriotism be immortalized in statues and memorials as are of other people." With these sentiments we are in accord. To out the plans would be a worthy tribute to our veterans and heroes, living, dead, and would crease the faith of the race in the integrity of the enment, of which it is a part.

"My Trip To Africa" is an intimate account of the conditions, peoples and customs of Africa by Thomas Cole, a Pittsburghher, residing at 625 Chester Avenue, North Side. Mr. Cole sailed with the African Pioneers or African Union Company, May 9th, 1922, returning to America January 27, 1923. His experiences are of historical value and carry splendid information homas c. col ily then displayed the note. "Did you send me this?" he asked. She took it and with a glance placed it on the table. "Yes," she replied, assuming an air like one deeply hurt. "Well," he said, "I am here." She directed him to a seat at a table upon which sat a half-finished supper for two. "I am little known here," she began hardly above a whisper, "and I am in need of aid. I know you can help me—" "But you don't know who I am," he ventured with his eyes upon hers. "Oh, yes, I do," she smiled feebly, "I have seen you very often, that's the reason I know you can help." "Well?" he mused. He had long dreamed of some such adventure; of becoming a conspirator or a confidential man; or playing the bold knight and rescuing beautiful women in distress. This, he thought, was a chance that comes only once in a lifetime. "He brought me here —" she sighed. "Who brought you here?" he broke in. "A man, Nathaniel Pagan, who came from the West," she went on, "he's old enough for either of our fathers. He brought me here from my home upstai: with promises to marry me; he is very wealthy. I don't think'I loved him; he lured me away with his bright pictures. I have been here three months now. Every day he would put off the time we are to marry." She paused and brushed away a tear. Mackay listened intently and felt his resentment rising against the man. "He brought me here," indicating the private dining room with a sweep of the hand, "about three-quarters of an hour ago; he went o. and a few minutes later phoned that he had gone and that no longer would I be troubled with him. Just think of it," she cried. "I am here alone in this great city, penniless, homeless, friendless and disgraced; I could never return home." She broke down and Mackay went to her side. "Now, now," he said comfortingly, "you mustn't do that—before me." He placed his hands gently on her bare shoulders. "What am I to do?" she cried, rising in his arms. "I can't work!" He held her close, he didn't know why, and comforted her. "I will," heway, he consoled her. "The sounded, the law is too lenient with such as he." She continued to sob in his arms. "I am the most unhappy woman alive," she cried. At that moment a girl, Melicent Travers, entered and paused before the scene presented by Mackay and thir woman. She stood breathless. Nibe Barrett relaxed in his arms and smiled triumphantly. She clung to him despite his efforts to throw her off. "You—" Melicent gasped and then stared at Mackay startled. "Why am I sent for?" she asked. "They told me—" He had succeeded in releasing himself and stood off stunned and surprised. "What is the meaning of all this?" he asked, appealing to Melicent. "Some one phone me," she said, "that Theford, Mr. Dalby, was a l-rater and a faker, and that he was at that moment lolling in the arms of another woman, here in the lycacinth in Thaley's." Nibe Barrett approached Mackay and placed a hand on his sleeve. "Thet, you are not a low-rater and a faker are you?" she asked wistfully. "I know you are not." Mackay stared at her strangely. "Who is the woman, dear?" she asked with a nod toward Melicent. He brushed her aside. "I don't know who she is," he exclaimed, "but I do know that you are not worthy to crawl after her and sop up her cracks with your tongue!" Niobe Barrett suddenly grew angry and shredd. "Thetford Dalby!" Mackay laughed. "Why, I'm not theTford Dalby, I'm Macklin Penchyn. You see, Miss-er" he paused in an embarrassment as he turned to Melicent. "Travers," she smiled. "You see, Miss Travers," he went on, "this woman has worked a frame-up on me, thought it was Mr. Dalby, you know I was an easy fool." Barrett continued to slink Niche Barrett continued to slink "MY TRIP TO AFRICA" "Wild Africa, Beautiful Africa, Wealthy Africa--It is a Revelation" away from them, her eyes flashing with fear and anger. Melicent smiled with relief and happiness. "Come on, Miss Travers," Mackay addressed her, "this is no place for us. I dare say Thaley does not know they are using his place for the purposes of framing damning evidences against respectable citizens." When they had gone two hard-faced men appeared from behind, scowling fiercely. "Now you've played it!" one of them soiled. "I played it!" Niobe Barrett flung at him angrily. "Sure! I played it perfect!" she exclaimed hotly. "You said it was Dalby, it looked like him! It was all your fault!" "Like h— it was!" the other man who held a blank pad swore. "Come on," he added, "let's go and get bawled out by the boss!" Believe It Or Not FAILS TO TOSS FREIGHT ENGINE FROM THE TRACK He Was Feeling Strong, But Twas Booze Talking DENVER, Colo., March 13. — A Burlington switch engine knocked Peter Farm off the track and didn't even dent him. According to Officer Jackson, Farm was "all drunk up." The more hooch he consumed the stronger he felt. He got to feeling so strong he couldn't think of anything weaker than a steam locomotive to test his strength, and he was confident he could stop anything that runs on a railroad track. "See this switch engine coming?" Farm asked, according to the officer's testimony in police court. "It's a watch-charm for me. Just watch me stop it. Why, I stop compounds and moguls. My engine's pie." Jackson said Farm hopped onto the track. He "willed" the engine to stop, but it didn't. It brushed Farm out of the way and steamed on, until the engine uninjured, was fined $20 and costs in court for drunkenness. Twenty-Month-Old Infant Can Read NEW YORK, N. Y. March 12. The radio prodigy has arrived. She is Helen Rice, 20-month-old Brooklyn infant. Her mother, Mrs. Julia Rice, says that Helen can talk like a child of 6, read books, can tell her name and street number and has adopted the radio outfit for a godfather. Mrs. Rice attributes the brightness of her child to Helen's habit of listening' in on all lectures and repeating them after announcers. Babies Born With Tails. BERLIN, Germany, March 13. —Dr. Adolf Heliborn, Perlin physiologist, has started a storm of controversy in the medical world by announcing that new drugs which they can wag. The tails disappear rapidly as the infant grows. Dr. Heliborn claims. THE African Pioners or Union Co., went to that far and dis- Co., went to that tar and distant Mother Country of the American black man to engage in civilizing and bettering the living conditions and increasing the industrial pursuits of the Gold Coast. Secondonu West Africa. In landing at the sea port, situated on the Gulf of Guinea, the first of my surprises was a black man at the wheel of a tug boat, stearing alongside of the passenger boat after she had anchored and made ready to receive and land passengers on shore. Then I observed the surf boats which load and unload the cargo boats. On entering the customs, I observed nothing but black men as custom officers. I felt that we would not have much work to enlighten the natives on civilization. Later I found them a diplomatic than American. I then realized that I had lived to place my foot on the great African soil, the soil that never ceases to produce the whole year round. As soon as members of the group became settled and I began to wander around and look at the strange sights — for everything was strange, and some things beautiful, such as the woods and the foliage—indeed it looked just like a Paradise and so much better than the appearance of the inhabitants I STAGE'S BEST DRESSED GIRL TELLS OF HARD STRUGGLE IN RISE TO STARDOM Three charming poses of talented Lottie Gee, leading lady in Sissle and Blake's latest musical sensation, "In Bamville." The show comes to Pittsburgh next week. LOTTIE GEE PRIMA DONNA Road from "Chorus Girl to Leading Lady" Filled with Many Ruts, Declares Pretty Lottie Gee, Appearing at Local Theater Next Week—"European Audiences Gave Me Real Inspiration." she Affirms. "European audiences gave me real inspiration," says pretty Lottie Gee, leading lady with "In Bamville," Sissle & Blake's Revue, coming to the Nixon Theater the week of March 17. "They do not hold back for prejudice or horrid injustices of any kind, but give spontaneous applause and pleasing comment to whatever they enjoy. I believe an artist feels the appreciation of her hearers and that "feeling" radiates inspiration. You want to develop and grow better as an entertainer. "When I toured Europe, with the Southern Syncopated Orchestra, visiting England, France and Italy, I realized what long hard years of work meant. From chorus-girl to leading lady isn't the most wonderful achievement in the world, but it spells sacrifice, determination, joy, sorrow and many other things known to the stage artist. As leading lady, work has not ceased, but there is a satisfaction in knowing you have contributed a bit to the glory of the stage." Miss Gee began her stage career as a chorus girl with the Cole and Johnson Red Moon Company with that aggregation until its closing. She was a part of the roles of the Smart Set Company and for two years toured with S. H. Dudley as the star. Miss Ada Walker had her as one of her dancing girls and with her retirement from the stage it seemed that the only thing TRIP TO A and Africa, Beautiful Africa, could not harmonize the people with the scenery. Natives Interesting. But the natives were a quiet, peaceable body of people. Their dress and make-up was very puzzling at first, but everything eventually became natural. In conversation with the natives, who spoke English, I found them very interesting and very industrious. Practically all the business is carried on by the natives. After becoming fully acquainted with the situation, I found that they were the back bone of the Cold Cost. They ate the Cable Office, Post Office, Cus-Office, railroad. They are the town consul, police chief and police officers. I was more than agreeably surprised and it really made me feel more at home and believed it certainly looks like success for our business. But these were the outside conditions. The natives get small salaries for the services they give, but their cost of living is far cheaper than what it would take an American or Englishman to live on. Their wages or salary ranges from three (3) to seven (7) pounds a month. This refers to the clerical work. The mechanics receive from three (3) to seven (7) shillings per day's work. They are good, neat workmen; plenty of them; quick to retain knowledge and eager to learn left for Lottie to do was to go back to the chorus. While resting in Washington it occurred to her that she might try a single and was given her first engagement at Ford Dabneys Theatre where she at once became very popular. It was during this engagement that she formed a trio with Effie King and Lillian Gillam. This did not last very long and with the closing trio the Sister team of King & Gee was formed. This was without doubt one of the best sister teams that the race could be of at that time. They toured the various Vaudeville Circuits for a number of years and finding all roads to the top barred against them because of their color, they gave up temporarily. For Miss Gee it was hard, but her AFRICA" Weatthy Africa--It is a Re more. The laborers receive from one to two shillings a day. They are as fine specimens, physically, as any one wishes to see. The English have taught the natives to do business and that is one thing they know. Morals Good The morale on the streets in the day is better than we have in some sections of our big cities. The men rule in that country. The women are more like slaves. The dress of the natives, such as clerks and lawyers, are just the same as the English during working hours, but after that they fall back to their native garb, which is cloth in which some of the colors would give you the blind staggers. The native women are the traders. They bring all the produce to market on their heads with their young babies lashed to their backs. All the marketable foods are brought from the country, which is called the "bush." There is no end to the amount of weight that can be carried on their heads; they are light as an arrow; their dress is two pieces of cloth; one piece to cover the lower body and one to cover the upper body which includes holding the babies to the back while they are on their journey to and fro. They do not wear shoes. They are barefooted at ALL times. The main na- opportunity came when she was offered a position with the Southern Syncopied Orchestra. After a short tour of the United States the company went abroad with Miss Gee as the Soloist. With this she toured Europe winning praise in such countries as England, France, Italy and Asia Minor. Miss Gee is unquestionably one of the best dressed women of the stage. Pathe in his Movie Chats has exhibited her on several occasions. NEXT WEEK—"The Deacon's Poker Game" discusses "The Three Hundred and Fifty-first Field Artillery." ::: By ::: Thomas Cole tive foods are plantine, fish, hogs, goats, sheep and Kankie chicken. Staple foods: Plantine, Kankie smoked fish. The country is very rich. Every thing grows all the time. There is no cultivation required. Everything is planted and it grows and they just gather some. The general resources are wonderful. Thire is enough in the Gold Coast district to supply the world for one hundred years. Seventhents of the cocoa used in the world comes from the Gold Coast. It is rich in rubber, mangarue, cocoa bean, gold and polim punell. They are all staple goods and can be had for shipment at any reasonable time, but you must have money and not change. (Five thousand dollars is change.) The proportions are big and it takes big money to handle them. The African Union Company has the concessions, but not the money. The country is no place for a poor farmer to go without money. Bear this in mind. The living conditions among the natives will not do. They will have to be trained and educated from that condition and they will need American colored women to do that. They are willing listeners to anything the American black man or woman says. (To be continued) SECTION PITTSBURGH daily paper and all the weeklies, concerning a Negro officer being kicked by a woman. One of our fast-dying weeklies tried to inject a bit of humor into the incident and a few dailies erroneously stated that the woman was colored. It might be attributed to the density of our thinking apparatus, but frankly, we can see nothing funny in an able and efficient officer being kicked by a white woman who is married to a colored man, and who admits that she is well known to all officers of the Avenue. The charge of disorderly conduct was justified, for this same woman has been known for years to do this sort of capering—anywhere and any time. We understand that the judge decided that a $25 fine or 30 days to the workhouse option was sufficient punishment for this intentional act to forever ruin an able-loved and conscientious police officer. Wonder if that same judge would be willing to take similar punishment while upholding the laws of our city and feel that his efforts were amply rewarded by a $25 fine, etc. Wonder if it is the policy of the judge to encourage practices of this kind, or that he didn't know that this woman should have been held for court? —And while we are in this state of wonderment, we invite some intelligent person to show us wherein lies the humor. FURTHER out the Avenue there lives a team of religionists who have dedicated themselves to a program of belittling the efforts of the Column and exaggerating upon their own. But, dear brothers, the day of reckoning fastly approaches. "Be ye also ready." ATRIO from the Avenue promoted a "Chitlin Stril" a few days back, and among the invited guests was a seller of automobiles and drinker of "hooch," whom we will call Farmer Boy—because he is unfamiliar with certain conveniences in the average city home. Farmer Boy arrived at the "Strut" running in "high," with an extra accelerator in his hip pocket. As the function eased into the early morning hours, Farmer Boy became romantic, collected a mate and set out for a stroll. After climbing one flight of stairs, a little room done in white attracted their attention. As they gazed intently at the bathtub, there suddenly appeared a wide lawn, then a bungalow—a la Hollywood—a front door (through which they entered; a few steps and a turn brought them into a living room with antique furniture and decorations; off to the left was the most inviting room of the five and one which every tired man likes to make use of. The trance continued until—well, you'll have to ask one of the "Chill-lit Strut" patrons what went on. But suffice it to say that Farmer Boy has no commendable recollections when he is called "Bath-tub Charlie." WONDER if the lad who knocked out a drunken man last week, has put another notch in his gun. Be careful, old top, a man can do only so much fighting in that game—and get away with it. A hint to the wise, etc. JUDGING from the number of people turned away from the Little Paris last week Gross and Baker have struck a popular chord. Go to it, boys, and when you get tired, go to it some more. A SUCCESSFUL business man said: "My presence on the Avenue after business hours would mean $1,000 more business per year for our firm." We were standing in a pool room, a place where the "goody-goods" say a respectable man should never enter. The Column agreed with the speaker because we know something of the value of contact. Little drops of water develop into great streams by successive contact, whereas if left alone—away from other drops of water—are either absorbed by Mother earth or become stagnant and breeding places of germs and disease. We have some trained men in the city who cannot make a living from their practices because they prefer the attitude of aloofness, which does nothing but satisfy a false pride and standard of morality. A business man of the Avenue is today on his "last legs" because he knew not the value of contact with the elements which supported him—be they good, bad or indifferent. A welfare organization (with a branch on the Avenue) is calling on all reserves to help steady the rocking boat—because its administration head tries to apply, the same effeminate, domestic ethics to, who work a great deal and read very little. Contact is not all of success, but it is a mighty element, a generating force; keeps your accomplishments and anticipations before the people—its a "howly-do" and "good-bye" to every conscientious effort. And Wylie Avenue --- By John L. Clark ws without, it the full measure of success cannot be expected. Let's see if you mean it, Chief! ANOTHER Negro "hoochery" was raided—again—last weeks. The proprietor is the one and same who took kindly to propaganda put out by the Little Savoy owner, some time ago. The Little Savoy is out of business and if this Negro "hoocher" doesn't change his idea of alliances, he'll be the next one to go. --- WHILE our City Council is engaged in their probe of whys, we again call their attention to the danger of the northwest corner at full height. surest. Maybe they are waiting till some Negro is killed and then ask the coroner to declare it an unavoidable accident. Witn j taxicab companies added to the community traffic using this corner twenty out of every twenty-four hours, the Column thinks that the city should be more attentive, to its own interests, as well as those of its taxpayers. 0 NEVER before in the history of the Avenue have the women of the street patrolled our thoroughfare in such large numbers, and never before have we been forced to listen to so much vulgarity. Very few old-timers are among them—mostly young ones, reared well, but preferring the thrills and frivolities of the under life. They work single, double, in trios, quartets, after a certain hour at night one sees them in squads—discussing the rewards of their labor or a close call at the hands of some energetic officer. Their conversations embrace every known word and phrase not found in the dictionary, and when cautioned about what respectable people might say or do, boastfully column: "Have me locked up—I'll get out in the morning." And they usually do. The Column knows of at least two police of the Avenue who could and would wipe out this ever-increasing army of "proxies"—but it, seems that their campaigns can go only so far, and there they must sign. Evidence has come to the Column that some "invisible power" is deriving a revenue from this practice by giving them protection. And this power is so firmly entrenched that only a concerted public protest can move him—or them. This condition lives at our expense. We hesitate about opening business places on the Avenue, fearing that this army might assemble in front of our store; we have doubts about the security of our youth when they have occasion to be on the Avenue; we modestly request that our women traverse the Avenue as little as possible; and after our young ones reach a certain age, we omit the Avenue from our routing of daily walks. We handle the situation like cowards, running away from a condition that could be easily wiped out if we would only muster up enough confidence in our neighbor to solicit his aid, pass the word along—get together and fight. the "pressies" know that the "thinking" element is well taken up in "thinking" and have no time—or courage—to fight. And in this connection the "pressies" have stepped us one better—they have studied us while we have gloried in the mistaken idea that they are not worthy of our thoughts. Yet, they do about as they please at our expense and disadvantage—without any evidences of fear or regret. Shall it continue thus? NATE HARRIS and Ed. Bailey say that inquiries are just pouring in about the Avenue Dubs baseball team. We expected as much, for there are a number of good boys played among our Southern boys who have family liactions to live up to—but who like the sport well enough to play twilight games. And those are the boys we want. Send them right in. AS THOUGH by some secret signal, the three women of the street broke and ran in three different directions. It happened so suddenly that the Column thought somebody had dropped poison gas nearby, and we were about ready to run, too. But knowing that we are accustomed to have SOME reason for doing things, we looked around and saw the cause. Pinckney was on the job. -0- Wonder how the East Wylie undertaker is planning to collect the $1,200 for a burial, which was supposed to be covered by a $300 appropriation. -0- THE Third Ward Get Together Club is still busy, qualifying voters. Here is their method of approach: "Have you been assessed?" "Are you registered at your district polling place." "Have you a tax receipt?" If you are not sure about the answers to these questions get busy and you are even justified in taking a few hours off to get this matter straightened out."

Evelyn Preer Good 'Ella Do God's Chillu Would Serve As Balm White Woman Pl Says Leste NEW YORK, March 13—Lester A. Walton, writing in the New York World, has said that Miss Evelyn Preer would have been an ideal actress to play the part of Ella Downey opposite Pa Robeson in Eugene O'Neill's latest play, "All God's Chillun Got Wings." Mr. Walton said: "There are several talented Negro actresses whose services could be utilized in the new show in the leading female part. "Chief among these is Evelyn Preer, who was seen in New York some months ago. Her lightness of complexion moved John Corbin, dramatic-critics of the New York Times, to write a two-column article on 'Jewels in Ethiopia' Ear.' He said, among other things: Miss Preer's Qualifications 'The complexion of the company run through lighter shades of cafe au lait; several of the abler "Loose Feet" A Sensation Richmond Amateur Players Pack House in Musical Comedy Hit—May Play Return. RICHMOND, Va., Mar. 13.—Veritably taking this city by storm and playing to packed houses during its two-day engagement, was significant of the big success of Davi, Eggleston and Longley's Fun Revue company's musical comedy hit, "Loose Feet," featuring forty songsters, funmakers and dancers, with a chorus of twenty-four of Richmond's most beautiful school girls. The production was a worthy, clean and entertaining revue. While the entire company is well worthy of commendation, a few of the leading lights are especially noteworthy. To Miss Thelma Davis, a versatile singer and dancer, goes the honor of being the biggest hit of the show and the Twilight quartette, probably deserve second honors. G. C. Haley showed great promise as a clever and strategic comedian. Miss Evelyn Burwell also rendered one of the features, "Twee Twea," a comic by Coleridge Davis, the young musical director of the company. William Pride, Melvin Johnson and Bernard Brown, comedians, did well. Goldberg Wilson, Paul D. Morton, James Gibbs, Chester Washington, Edward Ellis and Ralph Lawson played their parts well. Grace Moore, a good singer, pleased the audience. The show was a roaring success and the public is demanding a return.

When a darker hue is requisite they employ walmout stain. ** When Mr. O'Neill casts his so-called Ethiopians as the white folk they so nearly are, a strain develops which may be illogical, but is none the a strain. ** Miss Preer never suggests the Negress. "If, as Mr. Corblin says, because of the whiteness of her skin Miss Preer never suggests a Negro, it must follow that she suggests a Caucasian. What, then, is to prevent her from measuring up to the color standards set for the leading lady in Eugene O'Neil's latest dramatic effort? "Casting an Evelyn Prer in the principal female part would serve as a balm for those who would suffer untold anguish over the thought of a real white woman playing on posite a simon pure Negro." At The Lincoln The Lincoln opened Monday night to its usual capacity house with one of the greatest variety bills ever shown here. Easton and Stewart, in act that was seen the past-season in a downtown theatre, headed the bill with their novelty, musical and comedy act.

Some winds bring warm and springing breezes from the Southlands and some winds bring cold, bleak chills from the Northlands. There may be a snowfall or a blustery rainfall. Gastes, gales, hurricane and the like may sweep over the land. And so is life just a combination of influence — some good—some bad, some indifferent. The winds of life come just so, hither and thither, bringing soft gentle love waves; bringing sorrowful tearful tidings; carrying love and laughter, happiness and calm, sighs and regrets. Some sunshine and some rainfall must come into every life. Each life some rain must fall. Some days must be dark and dreary."

Mardi Gras Given by Debs Closes Pre-Lenten Dances The novel "Debs" lived up to reputation on Tuesday night, Feb. 29, when they pulled off the Mardi Gras. It was real snakey, and pretty party, being the first of its kind to be given in the Quaker town. The hall was delightfully decorated in strips and hangings of black and white. Confetti fell from everywhere upon the happy throng of dancers. Serpentines entangled the feet and bodies of the many, many costumed couples. The debs were dressed as Pierrots and Pierrettes. They looked charming in this role, and were so clever in the grand-march, when they marched and danced together, and finally formed a mile to the strains of Here Comes The Bride, about Miss Alice Potts, whose engagement was announced. Vierna Martin was mighty sharp as a Scotch Lassie; Mrs. Carliotta Lucas meandered gracefully around in the role of an East Indian Princess; Mrs. Le Barr Potts, was charming as a Spanish Senorita; Courtney McCord was a sweet baby doll in light blue. As Robin Hood, Edith Cokine, was the cleverest of all. One could not pass by without noticing two Greenwich Village Art students in the persons of Prudence Turner and Alice Blue. Buleah Hazlewood was ever so pretty as "Night". Claudine Marshall made quite the demure little Chinese Mandarin and Clarence Green looked handsome in yellow satin as a clown boy wonderful Spanish cavalier. Dr. Chas. Howard was a Mexican. And there were an endless number of clever and unique characterizations but one cannot write about each and everyone. The Mardi Gras shall be remembered as one of the finest affairs in town, and I do not see why the "Debs" cannot make it an annual affair. Another Engagement Announced Zip—through the air, and a dart from Cupid's arrow pieces the hearts of Paul Potts, Udil Mr. Sim-Jones' from Lincoln. University. Miss Potts is one of the "Debs" and is well known and loved in Philadelphia. Mr. Jones is a student at Lincoln, a member of the Alpha Kappa Fraternity. Rumor has not whispered the date yet.

Deadly because with the exception of one particular section of the Country, it is deeply rooted and hidden. Over such a large area has race prejudice extended its venomous fangs that nought but a miracle will be necessary to rid this Country of the terrible poison which already has taken effect upon the minds of the people. Today not only here in America but through the entire world, eyes are turned upon this Great Nation of the United States, watching the terrible conditions it faces in regards to race prejudice. Realization has come, as to the great and dangerous proportions it has attained. What to do? How to avoid the consequences? How to check the ravages? Are the questions. Having been held so long under the surface; treating the situation lightly by a mere wave of the hand it would be wiped out, is the direct cause for the condition today. When poison once enters the body it is a long tedious and very hard fight to rid the system of it. Race prejudice or any other form of prejudice directed as a people is a poison of a most deadly description. At one time the cry was, "Save the Union" and though many years have passed the cry today is no less important and necessary, "Save theUnion". There will never be a Union where there are separations one cannot look or point at the other. There must be, there will have to be concessions, of all descriptions. But it is not y, yun to judge my brother, are I have first considered and judged myself. Many colored people make it a point to demand all sorts of consideration. Their wrath burns high when race prejudice is discussed they feel wronged from the beginning to the end. And still, they themselves are prototypes of the evils they condemn. Race prejudice among colored people is very strong, to a point where in certain instances it manifests itself as hatred. This is sorrowfully true, for among the group may be found vast numbers who bear malice against one another for the mere fact of color. Therefore as a group, colored people cannot expect consideration from their white brothers, until they have erected, and completely eradicated the evil from among themselves. There must be unity amo g them. Then, it is reasonable to believe that they would be given consideration. Self respect is one of the greatest points in personal makeup and will invariably demand attention anywhere, in the world eye, in the United States of America. Otherwise it is most unjust to demand that which you yourself are not willing to give. As a group of colored people must learn to practice fairness among themselves. I emphasize, MUST. Apologies must not be made and cannot be considered. It is the French. I believe who have a saying that 'He who apologizes accuses himself.' Each and everyone is responsible for the actions of the other. Conditions among colored people throughout the Country are largely, due to the prejudices existing among themselves. I do not dare to say, as a whole, conditions among them are due to themselves, but to a great extent. The other due to base ignorance of a mass of poor civilized whites. Nevertheless such hardened and nasty nerness could be saved, if our own were just a little more considerate of each other. I would like to leave another thought, and that is;—Not to bear malice toward one another but try with all that is best within us to correct or assist in correcting a fault where we see one. Above all since we are working toward a goal, we cannot afford to bear malice even toward those who wrong us most unjustly. I do not want to be misunderstood, in this, as to mean not to be a man and fight like a man in danger. But do not be a man if your white brother will share what is his with you. It is it latter point which has caused so much unnecessary bitterness and unpleasantness. "Let us build so that we may be safe and secure in that which we have constructed. And like a generous host give welcome to all who may call upon us". (Augustian Dure.) Work Of The Episcopal Church Among Negro PHILADELPHIA, Pa., March 13 —What the Episcopal Church is doing for the Negro in the Diocese of Pennsylvania was told at the meeting of the Diocesan Committee of Women's Auxiliary of the Diocese of Pennsylvania in the parish house of Holy Trinity Church.

The Drifter drifted into New York one day and proceeded to Harlem and 135th street. Fortune seemed to smile on him from the start, for no sooner had he dropped into a small cigar stand, a step from subway, than he found himself suddenly in the midst of his dozen of famous men. The Drifter is a silent person and watches rather than speaks. He would easily recognize most of those around him, but the course, know nothing of, He bought a cigar, found an arse to linger awhile, and proceeded to listen. The actual trend of the conversation concerned Negroes, their shortcomings and their virtues. Between Hubert Harrison, famous and brilliant writer and lecturer, only colored member of the New York Board of Education; Domingo, whose editorial writing in the World and whose editorship in the "Ennunciator" set many minds to thinking of the great economy of which this race has so few the discussion went back and forth—every statement clear, but profound. The Drifter was, of course, greatly interested in the informal conversation, for its brilliance and its expression of thoughts that genius alone can think, could not help but fascinate the least learned. But the thing that struck him most was the informality of it all, the little shop, the cigar smoke, and withal the keenest brains of the race acting very much like very ordinary persons. He found that those prominent men of the race who take their position to mean that they should try to be as white as possible and ignore at every opportunity Negroes who do not move in their "circle," never frequented these gatherings where they might sit and learn. W. E. B. Dabois or J. W. Johnson would not think of soiling their hands here. They think they are too great. Yet if they knew if here would be a splendid place in which they could spend an hour a day learning what the essence of greatness is.

It was an unbridled it. It was a genuine holocaust. And now, all the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't make it smoulder again. Tuesday night Chiengans jummed into the armory of the famous Eighth Illinois Intensity Recruitment like an army of opera goers hitting the soup line. They fought to get into the large building to see what the girls out on Indiana had prepared for them this year. They congenially tore and snatched at another's squirrels, ... seals and whatnot, determined to get on the inside and pay their dollar for a peep. Sure-enough Chiengans was there. That means everybody. Any and everybody who ever had an idea of getting in on anything swell turned out. They turned in their boot. Long before the show had opened, at seven o'clock, mostly old GIs avenue sniffed through its snow-made tears at the innery and beauty treading its golden breast.

Lewis, held proprietor and formally managing editor of the Chicago, D. Nahor was made a widowman, Mrs. Lewis did her stuff, Mrs. Lewis got out there and came through with the proverbial flying colors.

Loon L. Mastis, Richard S. Smith, Chas M. Thompson, N. Newcomb A. Thorne, William T. Williams and the Misses ALB. Williams and Margaret Ward.

French maid habilite, morning dresses, tailored dresses, furs, hats, sport suits and dresses, dance costumes, attention dresses and wraps, a "study of Beauty" by the Marguerita o mary, a reproduction of the "Million Dollar" Walker-Jackson wedding and the towns. Miss Carly C. Lewis, Promaster, who thought she could reach those thousands without a megaphone and found out she couldn't, opened the show with an entertaining bit of dogged (epotizing thus: And never was posing with her, the meaning out-mastered the meter), telling the purpose of the show and introducing the first models.
