HARRELL IS HHEAVILY FINED IN NORFOLK Followers of Woman "Evangelist" Create Near-Riot in Courtroom. NORFOLK, Va. June 20.-Squads of police reserves and firemen of Engine Company No. 9 were missed around police headquarters Friday to control frenzied white and colored followers of Mrs. Mabel Harrell, 'ovengelist' on trial for receiving compensation for her "healing." She was fined $250 by Justice Spindle after an hour's hearing. Her manager, Rev. Moses Malden, colored was dismissed. An appeal was noted. COURTROOM CLEARED Just before the trial started and soon after Mrs. Harrell had entered the courtroom nearly fifty colored women leaped from their seats and started shouting and yelling "Amen." Policemen in court were ordered by Justice Spindle to clear the room of all colored people. When the colored people lined Court Street on the east side, Justice Spindle appealed to Sir Frederick F. C. Pesty and the company No. 9 was fined by and pump water on the crowd blocking the street if there should be any further demonstration. Police then scattered the crowds driving them off Court Street. APPEAL IS NOTED. As Attorney John G. Tilton, representing Mrs. Harrell made his preliminary remarks, laughter and moans of persons on the verge of a "religious attack" were heard in the white section. The case was stopped and all spectators sent from the courtroom except officers, lawyers and newspaper men. Immediately after the decision of the court, and appeal was noted and bond was fixed at $500. A telegram was received to y by the police from St. Louis, Mo., in which was stated Mrs. Harrell had no police record in that city but Madden was believed to be a race agitator. AN ANNOUNCEMENT.

K. K., in language that cannot be misun derstood. "Those persons who persist in many festing intolerance towards men and women of a race, a color or a creed in which they themselves do not believe are essentially uncivilized," said Dr. Butler, in a letter of felicitation to the Negro National Educational Congress which opened here last week. "Those who would advance civilization." Dr. Butter continued, "must labor in season and out of season to resist and check that persecuting tendency, which is a mark of barbarism and which now manifests itself in lynching, now in prohibition and now in the cowardly and unpatriotic activities of the Ku Klux Klan. Every liberal will wage war on this spirit of persecution until a sound and truly liberal education drives it from the human heart." NELSON WILLIAMS, A. M. SPEAKS Richmond, Va., June 24, 1924 Editor Mitchell. Your timely and terse editorials of last week, "A Remarkable Tribute" and, "What Does It Mean?" should be republished for emphasis on two of the most fundamental questions of the present day. One referring to the dark blindness of Richmond as a community in recognition of efficient public service rendered by competent men as in the case of Director Saville and many others in the past. The other one strikes the top-root of the Negro's social and educational welfare in this country. Every Negro and white man in North America, who has interest in the rise of Negro education should read it again. If we knew the truth we shall be free. Richmond needs the truth right now. Negro educators and schools need it also. Ring it out. We are both at home. Yours with interest. —NELSON WILLIAMS, JR. 501 North Third St. "CLERGYMAN" DEFINED BY WITNESS. (Preston Sews Service) NEW YORK. June 24—James Thomas, a York, Negro, testified yesterday in General Sessions at the trial of two Negroes on a charge of robbing him of $35.00 two weeks ago to Judge Talley and the jury that there was a difference between a "clergyman" and a "minister of the gospel," as he described himself. He said that an ordained clergyman was a man who rode on trains on a clergy ticket, but that ministers of the gospel did not "accept of such ad vintages." It is not recorded whether Thomas qualified as an "expert" with pess or not. KLAN AIDS NEGRO CHURCH. (Boston News Service) TREENTON, N. J., June 26—Alarm and nidification which spread through the congregation of St. Phillips Baptist Church, a Negro house of worship at Broad Street Park last night when a delegation of Klausmen entered in the course of the service, changed to astonishment when one of the latruding band, announcing himself as "Mr. Hobson, kleagle of Mercer county," said the county klan had donated $500 towards the church's building fund. In an address to the congregation this man denied the klan was antagonistic to Negroes. He said, "we ask you to accept this contribution to encourage Protestant Christianity among Negroes." RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JUNE 28, 1924 William G. McAdoo Leads the Field---Alfred G. Smith's Devoted Following Making Game Fight. Some Bitter Animosities Developed. The Democratic National Convention met in Madison Square Garden. New York last Tuesday at 12:45 o'clock with 1400 delegates present although only 1,098 delegates were allowed under the rules. This was brought about by the custom of some States doubling their quotas by sending "split vote" delegates. By this means many contests are avoided. The two-thirds rule was sustained. If the majority vote had been maintained, William G. McAdoo would have been nominated as a majority of the delegates are pledged to him. THE OIL LEASE QUESTION. His employment as counsel for Eo ward J. Doheny, the oil magnet at $100,000 per year has done much to in jure his chances of nomination and it nominated is believed will bring about his defeat at the polls. While no direct wrong-doing is charged on his part, it would throw him on the defen sive from the start and many of the real issues of the campaign would be over-looked in his frantic efforts to defend himself. Mr. McAdoo's bitterest opponent is Governor Alfred H. Smith of New York, the controlling influence in Tammany Hall and a devout Roman Catholic. THE KU KLUX KLAN This has brought to the fore-front, the Ku Klux Klan, which organization is now engaged in politics. The Catholics, Jews and Negroes are banned and condemned by that organization as being unable to comply with the requirements to be 100 per cent Americans. As a result, a demand is now being made that Democratic Nat. Convention reenact its decaration of 1858 against the Know-Nothing Party which party was almost a duplicate of this Party on the race issue. SOME OF THEIR WANTS. They want Ku Klux Klan inserted for Know-Nothing. The compromises are endeavoring to have a mild censure without mentioning the Ku Klux Klan by name. "Al" Smith's followers will not agree to this and there hinges a tale. The anti-Ku Klux Klan element is strong enough to have this plank inserted, it will mean the strengthening of the Smith boom. The situation in New York is such as to cause the average Republican to smile It is also declared that with a condemnation of the Ku Klux Klan will come a swing of the Negroes in the North to the Democratic ticket. COLORED PEOPLE REMEMBER There can hardly be any doubt about that for the colored people have Civil War and they still remember the terrible meaning today of the Ku Klux Klan in the southern states. The "dark horses" are hoping that the convention will become dead-locked with one of their number holding the key to the lock. The League of Nature is one is also majority for Warren G. Harding on that issue has convinced the average citizen that the American people believe now in attending to their own business. THE LEADING "DARK HORSE." Woodrow Wilson was elected upon a platform, "he kept us out of war." Despite the fact that Theodore Roosevelt declared repeatedly that his policy was the surest one to get us into war, he was elected and the prophecy of that renowned New Yorker came to pass. Senator Pelosi of Indiana seemed to be the best show of any CT dark horses, but it is known that his State Indiana, is the hotbed of the Ku Klux Klan, although there is no positive evidence that he personali- ly affiliates with them. Help us to get a new hospital. To think of it 75,000 colored people in a city with a hospital which they can call their own which can only accommodate 25 patients. No, no, no, we will not stand for this but will come together as a loving race should do and give our little mites to either re-build or purchase another site. If every colored person in the city of Richmond would give $2.00 apiece we could erect a magnificent hospital which would be a credite to our race. The committee in charge is very much encouraged and it is believed that they are going to receive checks from every church in the city of Rica-mond, every business firm and every organization. The committee will flood the city with letters and it is beaved that every well making women and man in the city with a race pride heart will give willingly. Remember the beautiful words of our Lord. He said: "It is more blessed to give than to receive." When the workers come to your doors don't refuse them but give willingly. They have buttons to sell at a dollar each for adults and twenty-five cents each for children. They have cards which hold ten dollars each and also votes which are being sold by the agents at fifteen cents each. Let us give to everyone who comes to us in the behalf of the Sarah G. Jones Memorial Hospital. Look at the good that she has done in the past and that she is doing in the present. You can purchase your button at any of the doctors or ministers in our city. We are asking that you will purchase a button at once and wear it in order that you may advertise the campaign. We ask especially that the clubs and organizations in the city will please send a donation at once and a special pledge to help put the proposition over. When this hospital is completed we can say that it is a colored hospital and not a white hospital that takes colored patients. We have the most wonderful indorsements that any colored campaign has had in the state of Virginia. The campaign will continue throughout the month of July. We are asking that every family in the city of Richmond will purchase these buttons at the earliest convenience for the children as well as the grown people. We have the most wonderful site in view, which is appropriate for an institution of this kind. If there is a man or woman in the city of Richmond or in charitable work they should be interested in this undertaking in behalf of our own race. Let us join hands and work together in this campaign and make it the grandest campaign that has ever been in the state of Virginia. On the night that these reports come in we expect for this to be one of the greatest jubilee nights that has ever been held in the city of Richmond by the colored people. We are asking the public in gen eral to make this a grand success, also your prayers. Most respectfully, The Committee in Charge. Rev. W. H. Stokes, president; Rev. W. T. Johnson, secretary; Mr. B. L. Jordan, treasurer; Messrs. J. M. Frasier and C. Grifls, Campaign Managers. ALLEGED AX WIELDER DENIED CHANGE OF VENUE. (Preston News Service) BIRMINGHAM, Ala., June 22 — A motion for a change of venue for Frank Owens charged with attacking F. W. Warren and F. M. Hawkins, with an ax and robbing them, was denied by Judge Fort in Circuit Court here Thursday. Attorneys for Owens in the motion contended that the pub lie mind is so inflamed in Birmingham by newspaper accounts of the ax murders that a fair trial cannot be obtained. Owens, who according to officials, has confessed the attack, entered a plan of not guilty by reason of insanity when the trial opened. His case was set for two week ago but was postponed when he injured himself in a jump from the high window in the court room. CORDELE (GA.) METHODISTS FAVOR UNIFICATION (Preston News Service.) CORDELE, Ga., June 27—Following a strong appeal Sunday morning for unification of the northern and southern branches of the M. E. Church before a large congregation by Rev. D. O. Heath, a vote on the question was taken which resulted in 101 to 13 favoring the move. There was a large number of people in the congregation who did not express themselves either way on the question, but it is thought a large number of the members of the congregation favor the move.

MAN KILLED AND OTHERS ARE INJURED AT INDIANLA, MISS (Preston News Service) INDIANOLA, Miss., June 27.—One man was killed and two other persons were wounded as the result of shooting and stabbing affrays in Indianola and nearby towns Saturday night. Gus Davis was stabbed to death. A woman is said to have admitted the slaying. She is in jail. Two persons were wounded when a man ran amuck on the streets late Saturday night. The wounded men will recover it is said. PERSONALS AND BRIEFs: Rev. Dr. L. C. Garland, pastor of Union Baptist Church, who was confined to his home last week, is able to be out again.

You will save both pain, time and money by keeping a bottle handy. Be sure and ask for the one having full strength. Dr. Hayden is the "old stand-by." His advertisement reads like a fairy tale, but he has lived in Richmond so long that thousands are ready to testify as to the efficacy of his remedies. Mr. James W. Thompson is pulling down the structure adjoining his present residence at 104 W. Jackson St. and will erect a new dwelling. He has been in poor health, but is improving. Mrs. Thompson, who was indisposed for so long a time is now looking as well as ever she did. Mr. John A. Hines has completed the improvements at the offices of the Supreme Council, I. O. of St. Luke. Direct information concerning the Mechanics Savings Bank situation will no doubt be available by our next issue. Satisfactory arrangements are about completed. —Miss Irma B.

This history told how Willie G. Hurd of Denver—a small community near Suffolk—was awarded the Croix de guerre with a bronze star November 24, 1918. It was stated at the adjutant-general's office today that his record shows that he also won the D. S. C. Adjutant-general W. W. Sale today received from General Robert C. Davis, adjutant-general in Washington a report of Hurdle which the general asked to be added to the list of Virginia soldiers who had been decorated by a foreign government. The communication from General Davis quoted the French government which awarded the croix de guerre, as having shaped this citation about Hurdle, who was a private in the third machine company. 370th Infantry, Ninety-third division. "A, very courageous soldier. September 1918, he went to the assistance of a wounded man belonging to another company, risking his life in so doing and carried him to the dugout, thus giving his comrades a splendid evidence of courage." Word that two more Virginia Negroes received the French Croix de Guerre with bronze stars for bravery in action during the world war arrived at the office of the adjutant-general today from the war department. They are: Hugh W. Givens, private Company K. 370th Infantry. Ninety-third division, who lived in Staunton at the time of his enlistment and Charlie T. Monroe, sergeant, headquarters company, 370th Infantry. Ninety-third division of Meyersville Va. Givens' citation reads as follows: "Liaison agent with remarkable bravery and devotion. From the 27th of September to the 12th of October, 1918 he went out constantly despite the fire of the enemy, to carry orders, the troops, and he always accomplished his missions, in spite of extreme difficulties, by bravery and courage." Citation follows: "A brave and valorous soldier. On the 25th of September 1918, at Mont des Sings during an enemy attack, when all his comrades had been wounded, he remained at his post and did not cease firing with his gun, thus preventing the advance of the enemy. and won here with hands down. Both, of course, were on the inside of that institution The funeral of Mrs. Nannie Stowal Smitha took place from the First Baptist Church last Sunday evening at 1 o'clock. Rev W. L.

The remains were interred in Evergreen Cemetery. SMITHEY—Aaron Smithhey died at the residence of his niece, Mrs. Mary H. Branche. Friday night June 20, 1924. His funeral service was conducted by Rev. Vaughan at the Seven Pines Baptist Church in Henrico County, Va. of which he was a member for 30 years. Rev. Vaughan's text was, "Yes though I walk through the shadow of the death, I will fear no evil." The remains were laid to rest in the family plaque at the homestand in Seven Pines.

During the whole 3,000 miles of travel I do not know of having met a brighter ray of hope, a more substantial claim to justify the constant call of the American Federation of Negro Students to our youth to prepare to help make a BIGGER and BETTER NEGRO BUSINESS. We do not mean that the world is educated Negro youth's lobster nor that as soon as a degree in business training has been received from some big university that a lavish providence stands pledged to donate to him nine-tenths of infinity. We do say, however, that one's opportunity and possibility have been greatly magnified, and that because of such preparedness the battle of our group for economic, political and social freedom will be easier won. SALVATION OF RACE LIES IN PREPAREDNESS. Whether or not the salvation of the race lies in insurance, no one will care to be a target for denying that the pillars of progress rest firmly upon an economic foundation. These 20 prominent personalities impress me to the extent of beholding the future and visualizing the possibilities to be attained if the Negro Race will be careful to be guided by a well balanced educational policy. To America I ask, what is the Negro's educational policy? Has he really got one?

Send us only $15.25 to SANDERS WATCH CO., 93 E. South St., Uniontown, Pa. --- TWQ INSTALLMENT NO. 4 The casual observer would say that W. Ellis Stewart, had fortune thrust upon him, in that he saliled forth from college with nothing but a degree and a good appetite and became the unbossed secretary and a member of the board of directors of Liberty Life. Stewart has a vision. He is one of the very few Negroes holding a degree in Insurance from an accredited university. He foresaw and worked toward a definite goal and we cannot logically say he was lucky. I was given still further evidence of this man as one who looks ahead. He told the writer that he is building his estate to consist of insurance. Says he: "The salvation of the Negro race lies in insurance." As insurance is the factor which eliminates risk there are certainly the germs of truth in his opinion. Virtually all of Negro business is in the promotion stage. Our youths in our schools and colleges, the smithy which forges them for practical usefulness, will do well to look into the business field—ripe for exploitation. A significant fact which youth will profit by, will be to observe that the majority of the offices of firms like the Standard Life, Liberty Life, National Benefit, etc., are manned by trained young men. Mr. Stewart impressed me as a very capable man. He is affiliated with a number of civic and fraternal organizations; is a Mason, and to crown the whole he bears the distinction of being Grand Polemarch of the Kappa Alpha Psi, national Greek letter fraternity The other pioneering personality, who usurps as it were the place of the unfinching Col. Dennison, is C. E. Fouche. Fouche has yet to experience twenty-six winters. He was born in the Cresole state of Louisiana reared in California and received his professional education in Illinois. But first, who is this Fouche that I seemed to be just as much impressed with as with the race's highest ranking military figure in the World War? He is a pioneer, the president and founder of C. E. Fouche and Co., Inc., to my knowledge, the only Negro advertising corporation in the world. Young Fouche holds a degree earned in the study of advertising at one of our foremost universities. Like other pioneers he passed through the privation, commonly termed 'starvation' period, but his business outgrew his residence, spread beyond two office locations and a two-person staff. It still grows. Fouche is light brown skinned, has a large rotund face and is of average height, and easily weighs 180. He differs from W. Ellis Stewart in that he has a deliberate accent. From his orthodox Kongo hair our erring brother Lothrop Stoddard who eyes the world through Nordic spectacles, would be obliged to find a non-conformity to his preferred yard stick of achievement. Mr. Fouche is friendly, easily approached, but not talkative. He seems naturally conservative. Whether he is generous, kind, vain, stubborn, or a liberal mixture of the sisterhood of virtues and qualities one cannot readily tell. However he has sufficient personality and such excellent grasp of advertising and its relation to the promotion of an undertaking that he has the support and backing of concerns like the Douglas National Bank, the Chicago Defender, the Overton Hygiene and Chemical Company and numerous other enterprises. (To be continued.) GOOD FOR FIVE VOTES. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA COLORFUL NEWS "MOVIES" ACCORDING TO ESTIMATES of officials of organized labor, there are, in the United States, approximately 165 local unions, representing 6,000 Negro workmen, which are directly affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. These figures do not include musicians, stage hands, and other organized theatrical workers, who are largely employed in the theatres which cater, principally, to Negro patronage. A glimpse of the content of these 165 local unions is enlightening, and their geographical location shows that there is a deal of work to be done in the matter of organizing Negro labor. Transportations hands, of varied descriptions, such as coach and car cleaners, freight handlers, shipyard workers, train porters, mechanics' helpers, station porters, platform men, and mail and baggage handlers, comprise the bulk of the 6,000 organized laborers. Winston-Salem, N. C. boasts of a hair-dressers' union, in good and active standing with the A. F. of L. The unions are located, principally, in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Delaware, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia. In some cases only seven members comprise the total membership of a local; while the coach cleaners of St. Louis, Mo. and the baggage handlers of Philadelphia, Pa. and Washington, D. C., with a total membership, each of 250, bear off the palms for numerical strength. In the onward march of organized labor, the time is overripe for real live representation in the parent-body. Where are the iron and steel workers, the automobile hands, the building construction men, etc.? Is hair-dressing more important, and are the artisans of real labor to play second fiddle to domestic workers and dispensers of "blues" melodies? We think this ought not to be. We advocate organization, regardless of color and regardless of the type of union. Let the A. F. of L., open its doors—and its windows, too—and let there be union, first, and petty personalities of prejudice and jealousy last, if at all. Where Negro labor cannot gain ready admission to the local union, let it create another local, clothed with all the official authority of any union in the land, and recognizable, both in council and out of council. That's real organization, we think. WHILE DISSECTING THE AFTERMATH of the Cleveland Convention, and wondering whether the Democratic Convention will be equipped with balloon tires and four-wheel brakes, the office door was gently opened and two cleancut Japanese gentlemen, after making a dignified bow, sauntered over to the old roll-top desk. "We seek information on the Negro problem," the spokesman said, quietly, with a scarcely perceptible smile, and in a stumbling flow of speech. "That's easy," we thought, as we shot a five minute lecture at the orientals, who listened attentively, and nodded their heads in a comprehensive way. "But, please tell us," the spokesman said: "Do Negroes speak a separate language? What is being done to educate Negroes? Do they vote in this country? Are they well organized? Are there many interracial movements, looking to their welfare? What do Negroes think of the immigration act excluding the Japanese? Is there any anti-American movement among Negroes? Please notice the sequential trend of the queries of the Japanese, who, the conversation developed, are students at one of America's largest universities, from which, by the way, Negroes are positively excluded. We stopped clicking the camera in genuine amazement at the questions of the clever Japanese. Here were two human examples of the little yellow men across the sea, who, after an almost ludicrous question, as a starter, considering the intelligence with which they were possessed, closed with thoughts which but few Americans have given any consideration. And Japan wants to know what American Negroes are thinking about. We assured the clever students that there was no anti-American movement among Negroes; (we omitted reference to the K.K.K.), that all of us here are Americans, good and true; that interracial committees, North and South, are dealing intelligently and effectively with interracial difficulties; and that Negro education is making wonderful strides. Hanging our heads, we had to admit that the voting Negro population could be considerably swelled, especially where "grandfather" clauses are popular; and that there could be much improvement in interracial relations in America. And when we had finished answering the questions in good true American style, and had proudly stuck our thumbs in our vest pockets, the clever Japanese asked whether the Negro birth rate exceeded the Negro death rate. We asked them to call again, when we were not so busy. Oh, the Japanese want to know what we are doing over here. Why? Why? WHY? NEVER BEFORE have so many factions invaded the political arena as appear to be in our midst this year. Political reconstruction is surely within our gates, and, according to each factional leader, we are dwelling in the tents of wickedness. Reducing the situation to its lowest terms, it appears to us that masmuch as the Negro's political influence is growing stronger and stronger North of the Mason and Dixon's line, splitting so-called leadership into atoms, because of the local influences 1—NEGRO LABOR UNIONS. 2—"SIX-CYLINDER" LEADERSHIP. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` By "THE CAMERAMAN." in divers territories, a type of commacal scale is absolutely necessary before he the promised land. For instance, there's an undying element of interracial co-operation and doctrine of "I-take-what-I-want" as a famous novel, "The Spoilers." They used to following anything, and then opposing the majority, are quite the mixture a bit of radicalism and a bit politics," and you have a living me up against. Territorially speaking, the wise menetics of their brethren from other parties; and, all in all, there's not enough train of sand upside down. This is apparent in the great difficulty to put a Negro plank in the platform week.

Add to this mixture a bit of radicalism and a bit of "too-much-religion-in-politics," and you have a living model of what the Race is up against. Territorially speaking, the wise men of the East are constant critics of their brethren from other points of the political compass; and, all in all, there's not enough co-ordination to turn a grain of sand upside down.

SATURDAY.....JUNE 28, 1924 Pray without ceasing does not mean, pray without working. Both should go together. The colored people, who can vote in the North are proving to be a powerful factor in bringing about the enactment of protective laws for their people throughout the country. Leaders will have their draw-backs and set-backs. The higher and nobler their aims, the heavier the artillery that jealous contemporaries will use against them. We should not forget this. Now comes Major A. H. Butler of Liberia, Africa with the statement that no American Negroes are wanted over there unless they have at least ($9,000) nine thousand dollars in cash to spend. Truly are these Africans learning the ways of the white man. Hon. William G. McAdoo has much legal and financial ability, but very little political acumen. if we are to judge by the conduct of his campaign for the presidency before the Democratic National Convention at New York. One of the ablest jurists in the State was honored when Judge Beverly T. Crump was made President of the Special Court of Appeals. Brains and intellect are at a premium in this State these days, despite the frantic efforts of some misinformed people to destroy both. Marcus Gravey has won a great name for himself and his enemies vainly hope to win a greater name for themselves by putting him out of busi-ness. If he keeps cool and maintains his equilibrium, he may win. If he gets angry and loses his equipose, he will lose. Colored people who are impolite and insulting to white people seem to think that they are getting somewhere. As a matter of fact, they are "playing with fire," endangering not only themselves but others of their own kith and kin. We can protest against injustice and wrong-doing, but there is a proper way to do it and at the same time maintain our own self-respect. We have had a hard time ever since we came into this world and were sensible enough to realize surrounding conditions, although we have an easy time going out of it, for death is a great stabilizer and dulls our sensibilities relative to surrounding conditions. Rev. R. Van Richards, chaplain to the Liberian Senate announces that the Marcus Garvey colonists of the right kind and sort will be welcomed into his country, while Major A. H. Butler, Chief of Detectives of Liberia says that they will not be. The issue is joined with the facts in favor of the chaplain. The New York Negro-World announces that the well-known Capt. E. L. Gaines has been suspended from the organization for violating the constitution whatever that may mean. Capt. Gaines is well and favorably known here. He was the victim of an attack upon his life for his advocacy of the Marcus Garvey movement not very long since and has always been one of its most energetic advocates. We are not informed as to the facts in the case and must necessarily suspend judgment. BASIC PRINCIPLES. The New York Crisis for July says: Within the Negro race we are continually scoring ourselves for lack of unity and we are holding up other races and other groups as splendid examples of perfect agreement. We forget in this criticism one thing: the basis of all advance and development is Diversity; the characteristic of stagnation and death is Unity. Any attempt in a growing organism to make all of its factors act alike, is simply and definitely to stop growth. It continues: On the other hand, without doubt, diversity, difference, the struggle of ideas and ideals means lost motion and personal bickering; but some minum of this is absolutely essential in the present situation of the Negro race. There must be among both white people and colored grave and deep differences of opinion as to method and end with regard to black folk in America. This is a statement of facts that no truth-loving intelligent person can deny. It says further: The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People represents one point of view. It represents it sincerely and definitely. It believes that either the Negro will become a full fledged American citizen the equal of every other citizen in legal rights, political power, civil opportunity and social recognition—that either this will happen or democracy in America will die and democracy in the world receive a mortal blow. It believes passionately that the attempt to arrange this world in a hierarchy of races with the so-called "Nordics" dominating and subordinating the mass of men, is the most outrageous and foolhardy program that thoughtful people can be a party to. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People recognizes that, compared with the attitude of the bourbon South, its program is revolutionary; that compared with what the best and forward looking elements of the South are willing to concede, this program is radical and exceeds their will and wish. In addition to this our association knows that there are many honest colored people who believe that we will never get our rights by the sort of agitation and fighting which this association and the Crisis carries on, but that sub mission to evil, catering to the best white South and in general "laying low" is the only way for us to achieve even partial freedom. The position stated is eternally right and no one who has read history and studied the events of centuries will for a moment question the truths herein contained. Cowardice is an instant realization that the race exercising it is to be the inferior type of human origin. We get no more of our fundamental rights than we are ready, to make sacrifices and risk even life to obtain. We can secure these right by diplomatic, skillful efforts devoid of all bragadocia and insult but we should contend for them just the same. When we concede the permanent superiority of any race, we admit the permanent inferiority of our own. On this great platform, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People can afford to stand. In this whole matter, a most important factor has been overlooked, God still rules in the affairs of men and after a patriotic struggle we can afford to leave the result to Him. LOOKS LIKE BLUNDERS We think that some close friend to the able, energetic leader, Hon. Marcus Garvey should find a way to restrain him and to influence him relative to his extreme utterances. The provocation may be great, but every word he utters now will be used against him rather than in his favor. The language accredited to him at the meeting of his followers in Liberty Hall, June 22, 1924 in our opinion should never have been uttered by him although some of his subordinates could have voiced similar language with less injurious effect. His enemies are goading him into the use of this kind of language and laugh gleefully, when they read the threats, which he is now making. They feel that their blows, have struck home." Still, he may know his business and it may be that he will come "rightside up with care," but in view of these sporadic out-bursts, we doubt it. He has launched a great drive for many millions of dollars to finance his mighty Black cross Navigation and Trading Company drive, let him stick to that. He has thousands of friends loyalty supporting him. He can afford to drop traitors to the cause, but there is no need of making too much fuss about it. Circulars within his own organization can accomplish the same result. His enemies see or think they see in his newspaper outbursts, the disintegration of the movement and they increase their efforts to handicap and defeat him. Enough said.

Penn was held Friday, June 20, at Mt Zion A. M. E. Church at 2:30 P. M. He died in Washington, D. C. Mr. Penn was an esteemed member of the Bo₃₀₄ of Trustees of Mt Zion and his timely advice and wise counsel will be missed in the business of the church. A great churchman has gone. He gave one-tenth of his earnings to the church and attended all the services. His first duty was to his church. The floral designs were numerous and very beautiful. Dr. L. L. Downing read the 90th Psalm. Rev. George P. Miller offered a fervent prayer. Rev. W. R. Howerton read the obituary and letters of condolence. Rev. George C. Taylor, of Newport News spoke of his kindly association and knowledge of Sir Green Penn as a Christian and as a friend to society and as a gentleman of high esteem He was honest and truthful in all his dealings with men. He rose from the lowly walks of life to higher achievements, yet he was not forgetful of the days of small things. He was quite humble, always putting the Lord first in matters of business. Friendly he was to all men. We met the deceased about thirty years ago in Martinsville, Va, and we remained friends at all times and we hope to emulate such friendship with all men as that of the late Green Penn and M. Standeld. Rev. W. R. Howerton delivered the eulogy in a most sympathetic and consoling manner, commending all present to profit by the life of the deceased whom it had been his pleasure to serve as pastor many years ago at Martinsville. His discourse was based on the text, "He that gathereth in summer is a wise son," which was very applicable in the life of this man whose parents had died when he was quite young, his father being the first to go.

It is likely, however, that the match will be staged in Rickard's arena on Boyle's Thirty Acres, Jersey City. Firpo heaped he would sign the contract immediately and mail it to Rickard. FIRPO DISLIKES TIME. BUENOS AIRES, June 23—Luis Firpo declared tonight that if the anouncement made in New York by Tex Richard meant his conditions for a fight with Harry Wills had been accepted, that it could be said the negotiations are closed. The Argentine heavyweight added, however that any statement that the fight would be held in August must be erroneous, as the first week in September was the earliest he would be willing to fight.

Also, he demands protection against court litigation which might interfere with plans for a bout in August in Jersey City between himself and Wills. When approached concerning these 'extravagant' demands, Tex Richard it is said, confirmed them intimating however, that if Firpo fails to accept his (Rickard's terms a match may be promoted between Jack Dempsey and Wills.

TOO FEW OWN HOMES. A LADY VICE-PRESIDENT. THE PEOPLE’S INDEPENDENCE. The airship Shenandoah, sailing toward Albany, above the Hudson, last week, passed the Twentieth Century, the fastest New York Cen- tral train, coming from Chicago. ‘The airship carried 120 human beings, the express train many more. The passengers on the fast train bent their necks looking up- ward, and thought how strange it was traveling up there in the air. In a few years that well-ap- pointed express train will be out of late as the stage coach is now. The young Vanderbilt boys and George F. Baker, real boss of the New York Central, would do well to begin planning now for trans- portation through the air. They have the terminals, can raise money, and should see the warning written in the sky by smoke from the ex- haust pipes of the big flying ship. President Coolidge tells real es- tate men he wants'to see this coun- try a home-owning nation. That’s better than Henry Navarre’s wish that every Frenchman should have a chicken cooking on the stove. La Poule, au poto. Frenchmen, ‘seven millions of them, own the soil of France, thanks to the revolution. ‘That’s what helped them to hold Verdun. ‘The peasants own Sweden. That enabled Charles XII. to march with only 12,000 of them through Peter's great armies. ‘Too few own their homes and the Jani, in this country. The Agricultural Department re- ports the worst crops in many years. That’s bad news for those Wwho eat the crops, but may mean better prices for farmers not able to make a living recently. The Chicago Board of Trade ex- pects higher prices for grain, and with the wheat crop cut more than forty Thition bushels something ought to happen. Federal District Judges Carpen- fer and Wilkerson set aside Presi- dent Coolidge’s pardon of Philip Grossman, in Chicago, denying the President’s power in civil cases and adding: “To allow such power to the Executive is to strike a death Blow at the independence of the judiciary.” ‘That’s a good saying and coura- geous. All Federal judges depend on the President for appointment and promotion. It’s also a saying for the people to remember in case they happen, some day, to get rulers that repre- sent them, and nobody else, ‘At present our system “Allows such power to the judiciary as to endanger the independence of the people.” You see it when the cast- ing of one, single, appointed Su- Pitme, Court vote, in the majority, power to over-rule an elected Congress. And when Congress is ruled by a bare majority, in a court beyond the people’s control, that is not democracy. It there exists any power ter than the people’s power, Sten what we call self-government is a joke, as when a farmer lets his baby “drive the horses,” the farmer, however, holding the reins, while the baby ‘only thinks he is driving. ‘Well thought out power to recall every one of their public servants, whether elected or appointed by an elected official, is what the people will have eventually. That will come when they really take an in- terest in their government and thus prove their fitness to govern them- selves. ‘Mrs. Genevieve Allen, of San Francisco, suggested that some woman be nominated for Vice- President. It isn’t necessary to say ‘what old politicians think of that. Nevertheless, young politicians will live to see things in polities more surprising. the time hasn't come yet, how- ever, for, strangely enough, at this ‘moment more women than men would be shocked at the idea of a woman on the Presidential ticket. Perhaps, some day, the world will bless the big war, although it did cost 250 billions and 20 million lives.

His father, “Bull” Rankin, was a blacksmith, town bully, off-and-on prizefighter and a drunkard. His mother was an outcast. He was reared in filth, disease and igno- Tance and at 1i became a “killer's assistant” in the steer pens of the stockyards. Because he didn’t kill fast enough his boss stabbed him and Tom was taken to a nearby hospital. Stubborn, brutal of in- stinct, dull of mind, he was never- theless touched by’ the sweet. ap- peals of a visiting social worker and ‘upon ls release was, “pre: sented” to the worker by his father. The worker arranged to send him to a farm in Montpelier, Vermont, jand he was “taken in” as a green farm hand by a family named Tay- lor.

Ernest Fremont Tittle, in the Indianapolis Sunday Star.) "I remember reading some time ago a statement made by Prof. Commons of the University of Wisconsin to the effect that the Teutonic race until 500 years after Christ, was exceedingly primitive in their civilization, yet had mental qualities which made it possible for them to absorb the highest Roman civilization. And I was particularly impressed with his assertion that 'Could their babes have been taken out of the forest 2,000 years ago and transplanted to the homes an' schools of modern America, they would have covered in one generation the progress of twenty centuries.' of Twenty. "Well you say, that may have been possible in the cases of the Teutonic race, but it is by no means possible in the case of the Negro race. You might say that if you did not know Blooan. "Glancing through a pamphlet published by Garrett Biblical Institute, I read with great surprise that the father of one of its students had been a 'Village warrior'. I learned later that this student was a young African named Blooan; and that he had a perfectly fascinating lecture entitled 'From Cocoonant Tree to College', and that this lecture was the perfectly true story of his own life. For he was quite literally, up in a cocoonant tree when he caught sight of the first white man whom either he or an member of his tribe had ever seen; and today he is doing post-graduate work in an American theological school. sure. Blooah, a native African, as black as midnight, has actually done with Prof. Commons conjectured the natives of the Teutonic race might have done they been taken out of the forest 2,000 years ago and transplanted to the homes and schools of modern America. He has actually covered in one generation the progress of twenty n countries. "How impatient we are with the Negro. Only sixty years out of slavery, yet we expect him to measure up to the very highest standards of white world culture. And because he sometimes fails to do us, we jump to the conclusion that he is an inherently, and therefore permanently, inferior being who may be tolerated only if he keeps His Place." WHAT IS THE NEGRO'S PLACE? "The youngest student ever to receive the degree of Ph.D., from the University of Pennsylvania was Harvin F. Bliekstone, a Negro. In 1922, as the result of four years study, Smith College granted both the B. A. and M. A., degrees to Miss Briarge Hunton, a Negro. Emilie Hunters, a New Yorker, "In 1321; the prae for the best French novel for the year was granted to Bene Meran, a Negro. "In 1921, the Drama League of America selected as one of the ten persons who during the year had contributed most to the art of the theatre, Charles S. Gilpin, a Negro. Charles S. Gilpin, a Negro "The United States Patent Office has granted fifty-seven patents to Elijah Mogoy, a Negro. "And there is Scott, the mural painter; and Tanner, the painter of rejuvenous subjects; and Charles W. Chess, the novelist; and W. E. Burghardt, DuBois, the brilliant savant; and William Stanley Barthwaite, the widely read literary critic; and Paul Laurent Dunbar the poet who inspired writers in the once 'Lay me down beneaf de willers in the grass. grass. Whah de branch'll go a singin' as it pass. An' ween I's layin' low, I kin yehaw it as it go Singin' sleep, my honey, tek yo' res at last! has made the whole world of sensitive spirits his debtor. 'What then is the Negro's Place?? "We men and women of the white race have treated the Negro badly enough. God knows. We have laid violent hands upon him and taken him from his home in Africa to serve us as a heaver of woor and a drawer of water in America. We have debauched his women folk and then branded him as unmoral. We have, in many stances, kept him in ignorance and then pronounced him hopelessly stupid. President Moton of Tuskegee is authority for the statement that for 2,000 000 Negro children in the United States there are, even yet, no educational facilities provided. We have treated the Negro badly enough. Has not the time now come for us to give him a fair chance? 'In his eloquent volume, "The Souls of Black Fok.' Burghardt, Du Bois says that through all the sorrow of the Negro's sorrow songs there breathes a hope, a faith in the ultimate justice of things. ..... Sometimes it is a faith of life. Sometimes a faith of death. Sometimes an assurance of boundless justice in some far world beyond. But, whatever it is the meaning is always clear—that some time, somewhere, men will judge men by their souls and not by their skins. "Has not the time come for us to judge the Negro by his soul—his demonstrated capacity for cultural achievements—and give him a chance to reveal what his true 'Place' is in the future of civilization?"

He then forced Miss McNelly from the car and to accompany him to an abandoned mining tunnel, where he attacked her and fired two shots into her body, leaving her for dead. She eventually recovered and was a witness against Ward. After his conviction and continuation here Ward tried to gain his free dom by attempting to kidnap and hold in his cell two women missionaries. One of the women sustained severe injuries as he attempted to force him into his cell, there to be held until he was promised his freedom. Fellow-civics, attracted by the screams of the women, rushed to their rescue and were prevented from killing Ward only by the intervention of R. B. Sims, Superintendent. Blame for his criminal career was laid by Ward on the white race, which he said burned in his memory a hatred for Caucasians when he witnessed the burning at the stake of six colored pele by a mob in Paris, Texas, several years ago.
