VOL. XXXVII NEW RECORDER TAKES.. SEAT NEW RECORDER TAKES.. SEAT Desires To Help Race Get Justice Washington, D. C. Mar. 15th (Associated Negro Press)—Honorable Arthur G. Free, Recorder of Deeds, is entitled to membership in the favored "Stx 7007" class, and is comfortably above 200 in weight, by pounds, and has the unaffected bearing of a statesman. Mr. Free was a law student of Howard University, more than twenty years ago, and has some interesting experiences of his college days, but he shall remember. Wednesday, March 1st, 1922, as one of the big and busy days of his life. It was on this date that he assumed charge of the Recorder's office. The office of Recorder of Deeds stands out in racial history in America, as an outpost of leadership. A Presidential appointment, the official is not only regarded as an Administration spokesman, but what he says politically is supposed to largely reflect the sentiments of the group with which he is identified. With eight years of Democratic Administration, with a minimum of Negro office holders, with open and secret propaganda to prevent colored Americans from holding outstanding positions, it is quite natural that the people are interested in the beginning of the Free Administration, and, also, in knowing some of the policies of the incumbent. Mr. Froe went first to the offices of Congressman Wells Goodykontz, of the Fifth West Virginia District, where he lives. There he was greeted by former Congressman Cooper, and others. From the Congressman's office, Mr. Froe was escorted by Congressman Goodykontz to the United States Supreme Court, where on motion of the Congressman, Mr. Froe was admitted to practice before that body. The next destination was the office of Senator Davis Ellmus of West Virginia who, with Senator Howard Sutherland, of the same state, and Congressman Goodykontz, had presented Mr. Froe's name to President Harding, for the position of Recorder of Deeds. Senator Elikins, his secretary John W. Fenton, and a number of others present, joined in extending congratulations and best wishes to Mr. Froe. The next destination was the Recorder's office. Chief Deputy, Recorder, Robert W. Dutton, who was appointed by the late John C. Dancy, holding the position ever since, was master of ceremonies. Accompanied by retiring Recorder John F. Costello, the delegation went to the District CONCERT ARTISTS HERE WEDNESDAY CONCERT ARTISTS HERE WEDNESDAY Johnson, Taylor, Johnson Appear At Beach The John-on-Taylor-Johnson trio, Chicago's well-known musical aggregation, will appear at the Beach Institute Wednesday evening. This famous trio was here last year, when they gave the clearest, highest-class and most finished recital heard in this city in years. They are coming here next week under the auspices of the Brotherhood of the First Congregational church and indications are that they will have a large house. This trio has been on its present Southern tour for a little over six weeks and everywhere they have been heard they have been very highly praised. The trio is, undoubtedly, the best balanced Negro musical aggregation which has been heard in this part of the country. Mr. Johnson is endowed with a tenor voice which is not only clear and unusually sweet-toned but which is of a range which is seldom surpassed, while his wife, Marie Peek Johnson, has a mezzo soprano voice which is enchantingly beautiful. They are both very resourceful soloist and command the highest respect of all lovers of high class music. T. Theodore Taylor is the pianist of the organization. He is a real artist and wherever he has been Leard he has been highly commended. The bringing of this trio to Savannah should be an inducement for all of the local music lovers to turn out The Savannah Tribune. (Dallas, Tex., Mar. 15th (Associated Negro Press)—According to her neighbors Lillie Guey Taylor, the $20,000,000 Negro oil operator, has vanished from her humble cabin in the Negro district in this city. Rumors are rife among her former associates and friends that she has gone to Chicago and purchased a mansion in the celebrated Grand Boulevard district where she will live in a style befitting one of her wealth. WHAT LYNCHING MEANS TO SOUTH WHAT LYNCHING MEANS TO SOUTH White Newspaper Gives Pertinent Points Greensboro, N. C., March 15th (Associated Negro Press)—What is regarded as one of the finest editorial expressions ever written in a plea for law and order, while at the same time upbraiding the South for dealing with facts artificially, appeared recently in the Greensboro News, daily with reference to the Bullock case. This news paper is one of the most influential publications of the South, and may be regarded as speaking officially, when writing under the headline of "What Lynching Means to the South." The News says: "The Governor will not humiliate the state, he declares, by sending witnesses to testify for it in a petty judicial officer's court in Canada. No danger. That isn't what has humiliated the state. If the state had sent a few Warren county lynchers to the penitentiary, it would probably have been under no obligation to send witnesses to Canada in order to secure the extradition of Bullock. "Let us keep this thing straight. Canada may have been a little over zealous, but she had plenty of reason. We have a reputation of being bloodthirsty murderers down here in North Carolina, and it is our industrious lynchers who have secured that reputation for us. We shall never be regarded as a thoroughly civilized people until we stop this lynching business. It's no use talking in grindle-quent Tom Dixonish terms about what a white man will stand and what a white man won't stand. A white man has got to stand by the law, if he expect to hold up his head among other white men. "All this snorting about the fierce pride of the Anglo-Saxon race is the most disgusting poppycock ever invented. If no Negro were ever lynched for anything but rape, it might have some shadow of excuse. But alleged rapists constitute only a small proportion of the victims of mobs in the south these days. Negroes are lynched for all manner of crimes, ranging down to simple misdemeanors. Matthew Bullock's brother was not lynched for rape, but for shooting at white men. Furthermore as every southern knows, the mobs are not composed of fiercely proud Anglo-Saxons, but usually of the off-scourings of creation—the poorest, morally, of poor white trash, plug-uglies and thugs of every imaginable desCRIPTION, many of them wanted themselves by the police, occasionally under the leadership of some semi-respectable white man of the rattle headed type. The idea that any thoroughly decent citizen took part in any of the four affairs of the sort that disgrudged the state last year is absurd. This sort of riff-raff has no race pride, nor any other sort of pride, it has merely a congenital tendency toward disorder, easily inflamed into crazy blood-lust. But it also has votes. Therefore elected officers, more interested in holding their jobs than in doing their duty, fear it with a ghastly fear, and repudiating their cathetis let the mob work its will. That it what lynching means in the South today. There is not one redeeming element, not one word that can be said in its defense. It is our everlasting disgrace, the one foul shame that blots our drillization and as long as we continue to palliate and condone it, it will disgrace us. This will likely be the most attractive program which will be presented here this season. Tickets, which are fifty cent, may be had at the Savannah Tribune, the Savannah Pharmacy or from M. G. Robertson, Jr., at the Wage Earners Bank. Dancing will be had after the rectal. SAVANNAH. GA. THURSDAY MAR CH 16,1922 THOUSANDS WITNESS FUNERAL THOUSANDS WITNESS FUNERAL New York, N. Y., March 15th Associated Negro Press)—The body of Bert Williams, the eminent comedian was borne to St. Phillips church, enshrouded in a blanket of flowers followed by two autos loaded with enormous floral designs. There the beautiful and impressive burial service of the Episcopal church was said over the remains by the Rt. Rev. Hutchins C. Bishop at 12:30, m. The body lay in state in the holy edifice for two hours previous to the services. During this time Inspector McGrath, Captain McGarr and a detail of fifty police officers were required to control the movement of the crowd numbering possibly 12,000 people who sought to review the remains. Every station in life was represented in this mob. The Dolly Sisters and others equally famous elbowed with those of little or no repute for a last look at the man who had made millions happy. Since Sunday morning when news of his death was first made public more than 8,000 had passed by the body prior to its removal to the church. Yet other thousands were braving a downpour of rain as this was written to visit all that remained of the great comedian as it lay in the Duncan Brox undertaking establishment, on Seventh Avenue, to where it was removed from the church, to await the ceremony of the Masons at high noon, Wednesday in the Rennissance room of the white Masonic Hall at 71 West 21rd St. Under the auspices of St. Cellas lodge, operating at the request of Waverly Lodge of Edinburgh, Scotland, of which the deceased was a life member.

CHARTER DAY AT HOWARD Fitting Ceremonies Carried Out at University Washington, D. C., March 15th—Charter Day, the anniversary of the establishment of the Howard University, was celebrated March 2nd with imposing ceremonies in the University Chapel. The R. O. T. C. band, under the direction of Sergeant Dorcy Rhodes, U. S. A., occupied a prominent place on the program, rendering a number of selections. President J. Stanley Durkeen presented Professor Walter Dyson, who recently published a memograph history, "The Founding of Howard University", as the speaker of the day. After telling the story of the securing of the charter of Howard University from Congress on March 2nd, 1867 providing for a University with the Normal, Collegiate, Theological, Law, Medical, Agricultural, and any other departments desired, and of the opening of the University on March 2nd, 1867, Professor Dyson related its advance from a student body of three in 1867 to a student body of two thousand in 1022. Of the purpose of the founding of Howard University Professor Dyson said: "While there were those who believed that Howard University was that great National Institution of which Washington dreamed there were others who claimed to see in this mingling of so many races upon the same benches an attempt at amalgamation. For some time the enemies of the University furnished the democratic newspapers of that day with headlines concerning amalgamation at Howard University. They failed finally, to discredit the purpose of the founders. What was the purpose of the founders of Howard University? Perhaps we can gather what the founders of the school had in mind, concerning its aims and purposes, from a letter written by one of them, D. B. Nichols: "On the day set apart for prayer for colleges, January 25, 1872, we organized a small church at Howard University. Since the organization, we have had three communions; at each of these we have added to our numbers. Last Sabbath was a day of special interest in the history of this infant enterprise. Dr. Rankin preached the sermon, after which two native Chinese were among the number received. At the same time a native African from the East Coast, a creek Indian, a young man who was a slave in the South at the outbreak of the war, and our University Treasurer, J. B. Johnson, were received into the infant church. A large audience was present to witness the interesting ceremonies, and manifested deep interest in the exercises of the hour. "As the writer looked upon this scene, the words of the Sarian came forcibly to his mind: 'And they shall come from the East, and the West and the North, and the South and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.'" From this statement and from other evidence, it seems to be a fact that the founders of Howard University were aiming to establish on this hill not a Negro University, not a University for Negroes, not even a National University, but rather a great International School. In the annual report of the President of Howard University for 1572, we find this statement: "We have hoped to preserve the cosmopolitan character of the University, drawing our pupils from all classes, conditions and nationalities." Thus in brief is the story of the founding of this unique University, and thus was it inspired with a noble purpose. HONOR SURVIVOR OF MONITOR HONOR SURVIVOR OF MONITOR T. L. Taylor, A Negro, Served In Battle Putnam, Conn., March 12. "Mix up the medicine and give 'em hell." Was the command shouted to the men of the Monitor when that little boat drove off the big Merrimae from the Union fleet sixty years ago, according to Thomas L. Toylar of Putnam, who served as a powder monkey on the Monitor in that historic sea battle. Last Thursday, March 9, was the sixtieth anniversary, of the battle, and the citizens of Putnam have been paying special honor to Taylor, who is one of the last survivors of the Monitor's crew. Taylor, a Negro, seventy-six years old, has lived in Putnam for nearly forty years owns his home and is highly respected. Just before the Merrimac, the first ironclad war vessel, threatened all the wooden ships of the Union navy, Taylor was living on t *shipnaut-nsty* Taylor was living on the plantation of a Major Franson at Cole's Point, N. C. He was sixteen years old. He made up his mind to escape from slavery, and in the early part of March 1802, took the Major's finest saddle horse from the stables one midnight, rode fast until dawn, abandoned the horse and set out on foot for Fortress day that the Monitor had made her Monroe. He arrived, it happened, on the very way from the North. Union forces were paralized with stories of the havoc being wrought among the vessels of the Union fleet by the dread Merrimac. Taylor knew nothing of this, but was highly elated when offered a change to act as man servant for an officer who was aboard the Monitor He jumped at the job. The next morning the Monitor sailed to give battle to the Merrimac. There was no choice in the matter for Taylor. He was aboard when the Monitor sailed, and he was projected into an active part in one of the most famous incidents in American naval annals. According to his story, as he reviews it sixty years after, it was some battle. The Monitor's gunners were stripped to the waist, Taylor recalls, and as the solid shot from the Merrillman's guns crashed against the Monitor's ironclad sides, there was a shower of metal particles from the railroad iron, a part of her protecting interior armor, that cut and slashed the naked bodies of the Union gunners. They were covered with blood from what were, however, no more than superficial wounds, but so numerous as to cover practically the entire body above THROWN FROM-BICYCLE PAINFULLY INJURED Wm. Brister, 515 East Huntingdon street, was painfully injured last Thursday while riding his bicycle at Park Avenue and Drayton streets. According to his statement he was riding west on Park Avenue, when a car, driven by a Central of Georgia engineer, turned east from the north on Drayton. The car turned and bore to the left, he expecting all the time that the driver would make an attempt to avoid striking him, but instead striking him, throwing him from the wheel. He was taken to the Ga. Infirmary suffering from a broken ankle fractured skull and other bruises about the body.

"Quoting Emerson, he reminded his auditors that "History was but a few biographies of a few strong, zealous and determined men" recounting in Liberian history the deeds of a few strong men who had labored to establish this nation. He cautioned his hearers that it must be by deeds with which we might hope to perpetuate this legacy. This taint was responded to by President King.

Program For 1922 Completed The farmers of Chatham County held on Monday one of the most successful meetings ever held during the eight years regular monthly meetings at the Georgia State Industrial College. President Amos George opened the meeting promptly at one o'clock and the following was set forth: 1. Every farmer in the Inst. plant an acre of corn for demonstration under Agent B. S. Adams. 2. Encourage 100 boys to join pla and corn clubs and 10 girls the canning club. 3. Plant snap beans to ship co-operatively in car-lots. In to support a community grist mill by raising corn and more rice. Several members spoke on the good work of the late Mrs. Anna Artison, sec of the club. Prec. C G Wiley made the keynote address of the day and offered to purchase from the farmers' Institute such produce as the dining hall uses, meal, grits, rice, peas, potatoes, syrup and canned products of corn, tomatoes and soup mixtures. This would place something in the neighborhood of $5,000.00 per year in the hands of the farmers of Chatham County. The farmers accepted President Wiley's offer with loud applause and the county will be divided into districts to fill orders for the next school term. Miss Evelyn Conyers, home demonstrator of Chatham county, was given an order for canned goods to be canned by the various county clubs during the summer.

WASHINGTON MEMORIAL TO BE UNVEILED Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, March 14th-Honorable Newton D. Baker, former Secretary of War, in a letter to Dr. Robert R. Moton, Principal of Tuskegee Institute, says: "If one looks back twenty-five years, he can not fall to realize that the situation of the Negro in the United States is immeasurably better than it was. I doubt whether any single factor has contributed so much to the better situation as did the life work, example and teaching of Booker Washington." Honorable Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., Assistant Secretary of the Navy, in commenting upon the unveiling of the Memorial says of Booker T. Washington that "he was really a great man because he combined practical achievement with idealism." Honorable Josephus Daniels, former Secretary of the Navy is "sure that the people of the whole country of all creeds and races will be interested in the unveiling of the statue to Booker T. Washington. His career illustrates the possibilities open to the men of his race in the South. Booker T. Washington looked for development for his race from friendly relations among the white people, among whom they dwelt and from whom he always secured cooperation. His statue will therefore, stand for better understanding between the races and better advantages for his own race." Honorable Clark Howell, Editor of the Athanta Constitution, says: "I do not hesitate to say that Booker T. Washington stands preeminent as having rendered the most conspicuous service of any member of his race, not only in improving the condition of the race but in bringing about such an understanding between the two races as is essential to the welfare of both." The Memorial, which costs about $25,000 and is the gift of the colored people to America, represents individual contributions from more than 49,900 colored people. This derivation, on the part of the colored people themselves to the ideals for which Booker T. Washington stood, is also shown in the comment of Roy Stannard Baker who says: "Wherever in the South, I found a prosperous Negro enterprise, a thriving business place, a good home, there I was almost sure to find Booker T. Washington's picture over the fireplace or a little framed motto expressing his gospel of work and service." NEW LINCOLN THEATRE OPENED Washington, D. C. March 15th (Associated Negro Press)—The New Lincoln Theatre is opened. More than five thousand and people loudly clamored for admittance at the formal opening last Monday night with the result that the 2020 seating capacity of the magnificent $600,000 structure was taxed to the limit with a representative audience of the best city of magnificent distances and stately structures. "Mut and Jeff" was the attraction presented by the Connolly Colored Players and the performance sustained the judgment of the house's promoters in the selection of this delightful bit of foolery for an opening bill. The Connolly Players will be retained at the Lincoln for an indefinite period and will present standard dramas and comedys of the highest class. A release of the "Whipper Reel Negro News" was a feature of the ecolug's program and proved a revolution and positive sensation to the big audience. There were many out of town notables present when the curtain went up on the first act of the comedy, many of whom were managers of the theatres and newspaper men.

If we fall in safe guarding the character of our brethren, surely our own character would be wanting in justice, a very essential element in character building—Voice Review. Thope, Masonry who regard Masonry merely, as an ordinary social society, having no, deeply, rooted principles pervading the whole institution, no history, no philosophy, no literature, show they know, but little of the true history of Masonry. How humiliating then, for Masonry, how repulsive; to be initiated and, how determined, to the general utility, of the institution must be those, badly instructed brethren who consider as a learned "bright" Mason, one who, in reality, knows nothing more than, to work himself creditably into a lodge, or one who, parrot-like, can repent the ritual and is conversant with, the mere external forms of Masonry. How gratifying and refreshing, its, on the other hand, occasionally, to meet with a brother who does not pride himself as a Mason in the mere learning by heart of empty forms, but in the true understanding of the principles of the royal art, and by a true Masonle conduct.—Fraternal Record. "BETTER SCHOOLS DAY" Urges People of Georgia To Send Delegates To Educational Convention As workers for the promotion of common school education and general advancement of our people in Georgia, we note with a great degree of interest the call made by the Georgia Association, for the Advancement of Education among Negroes; urging our people to observe March 10 as "Better School Day" throughout the State. It appeals to religious, fraternal, and all social organizations to carry out a program that will stimulate common school interest in every community on that day. We feel that this call is very timely. Realizing as we do the influence of these organizations among our people, we most heartily endorse the call and pray that each church, institution of learning and school community, will observe this day with a befitting program best suited to its community and elect a delegate from this meeting and send said delegate to Columbus on April, 10th-22nd to attend the convention.

A lodge in Grenada, Ill., Inquired whether emancipated slaves could be admitted Masons, and the Grand Lodge replied that, By the term 'Free-Born' is meant a person free at the time of his application into a lodge, being his own master and capable of governing his own time and action"; a ruling also adopted by the Grand Lodge of England. SERVICES HELD Chicago, Ill., Mar. 15th (Associated Negro Press)—Imposing memorial services were held in the auditorium of the Wendell Phillips High School last Sunday afternoon. Col. John V. Clinin was the principal speaker. The 8th Regiment Spanish War Vets and American Legion took part in the parade which preceded the services. It may be of interest to the Masonic fraternity to know that the famous Bert williams was a member of the fraternity, and by his request the fraternal ceremonies were conducted by St. Cecilia Lodder and John of the white Grand Lodge of New York. The ceremonies took place in the Cathedral of the Grand Lodge of that state. The following very interesting account is given by Right Worshipful Bro. G. Grant Williams, of The Philadelphia Tribune, who was one of the honorary pall bearers: At Edenburg, Scotland, some years ago, while she Williams and Walker Company were playing an engagement Waverly Lodge, No. 597, entered, passed and raised Bert Williams, George Walker, Alex Rogers, George Cutlin, Pete Hampton, James Lightfoot and J. Lubrue Hill. Jesse Shipp was present but was a member of an American lodge. They allowed him to work his way in and probe himself, and he assisted in making the noted colored actors members of the craft in Scotland, after which all were made life members. The news of Brother Williams' death was cabled to Waverly Lodge of Scotland, who, through the Grand, Lodge of Scotland, cabled to St. Cecile Lodge No. 568, New York City, requesting them to give their deceased Brother Bert Williams, the Masonic funeral service. St. Cecile Lodge No. 568 is composed mostly of men who are or have been associated with the theatrical profession. At 10.a. m. Wednesday, the casket was removed from Duncan Brother's funeral establishment to the Masonic Temple, proceeded by a police escot, in command of Capt. Gargain. The funeral procession moved down 7th Avenue, to 110th street, thence down Fifth Avenue to 23rd street. Arriving at the Masonic Temple, 23d street and Sixth Ave, the remains CONVENTION ENDORSES IMPOSING MEMORIAL THURSDAY. MARCH 16. 1922 BERT WILLIAMS A COMPLETE GROCERY STORE The lodgewassented by the Master. Then a quartet composed of Masons sang, and not since the days of the famous Old Homestead Quartet has any one heard such singing by a quartet. Prayers were said, then, after a brief ritualistic ceremony, the Worshipful Master placed a pure white lamb skin apron on the remains. This was followed by each member, about 250 in number, passing by the quaker and depositing a piece of evergreen therein, saying, as it was dropped, "Alas, my Brother." The orchestra played the recessional, and the lodge marched out. After being dismissed, the members returned and each shook the hand of the widow, extending their sympathies. The honorary pall bearers marched out, being led by G. Grant Williams, of the Philadelphia Tribune, each carrying one of the large floral designs. Reaching the street they formed on either side of the pathway, and the body was converged to the hearse, and thence to Woodlawn Cemetery, where it was placed in a vault. In life Bert Williams was considered the peer of his class. In death he is still a leader, because, according to the daily papers, he was the first of his race to be buried with the Masonite ritual of the white lodge in the state of New York. And, as Rev. Trackler said, "in Freemasonry all are equal." Bert Williams merited all the honors he received and many of his white brethren showed their affection for him by the many tears they shed beside his bier before the public. St. Cecel Lodge has made history for itself by practising the true principles of Freemasonry. EVANGELICAL CAMPAIGN BEGINS An evangelical campaign was begun early last week at Kingston, Ga., in the big chantauqua gospel tent which was erected on the race course. The campaign is being conducted by the Free Seventh Day Adventists under the supervision of Ervangelist J. W. Manus, of Savannah, the first president of the Negro Free Seventh Day Adventists. The meetings have proved very interesting and have attracted large crowds.

DEVEAUX Published Every Thursday 1869 WEST BKING STREET Telephone 6171 FILM MUSEUM FIRST IN SERVICE JUST 1,600 OUT OF A POSSIBLE 18,000 It is astounding to know how few Negroes have their names on the registration books of the county. There are approximately twelve hundred Negro women who are privileged to exercise the right of franchise and a little over one third as many men. It is scarcely believable that such is the case and yet this is a fact. It is, however, interesting and at the same time encouraging to note the various efforts being made by the women to get those registered among them who do not now have their names on the county registration list. They are ever at it, and are succeed-gradually to impress upon the female portion of our population the neces-ty of becoming registered voters. They are continually having their little meetings in which they discuss the all important subject of registration and their work is bearing fruit. This little group of women, known as the Learners of Chatham county, is slowly but surely con-ting their unregistered austers that they should be numbered among the voters of Chatham county. How different from the men! The latter, seem to have forgotten that there ever was such a thing as registered voters in this county. On account of this indifference the number of colored male voters in the county has dwindled steadily for the past ten years until to-day it stands but a little over four hundred. Compare this with the figure of about twelve years ago and it will be seen that three times as many registered voters among Negro men have fallen from grace as there are now on the books of the county. Why has this happened? Because the men lack the proper organization among them. There are several thousands of the younger men who are not registered, not because they do not care to be, but because the right kind of incentive is no brought to bear upon them. The men need to follow in the wake of the women along this line. The women are organized while the men are dis are organized while the men are organized. The women are working feverishly every week to increase registration among them while the men are sitting idly by and waiting until near election time before they bestil themselves and then begin blowing their horns. It is a disgrace that less than one tenth of our possible registration strength are bona fide voters. This lack of interest on the part of our people does not seem to be confined to any particular class, for there are soores of professional and business men, teachers, preachers, doctors, men in the upper stations of life, who are right along with their less fortunate brothers in making up this large unregistered population among us. We sometimes wonder whether or not these men of influence consider themselves worthy of the ballot and its allied privileges when we hear so many of them in public meeting exhorting their hearers to become registered voters while they themselves make no effort in this direction. The pity of the whole situation is that this indifference toward this all important matter is affecting us all. We cannot get the favors from those in power when we show such little interest in our political standing. We may ask, beg, beseech as much as we like, but, we shall never get anything near what we should have until we are able to get several times as many more men and women registered as we now have. The women are working; they seem to, in fact do, realize the seriousness of our small vote, but the men are astonishingly inactive, inferrent, and what is worse they seem to be laying no plans for ever bettering their standing in the community along this line, and seem to say what care which way the wind blows. NEGRO LITERATURE FOR NEGRO PUPILS (By Alice Dunbar-Nelson.) The ancient Greeks, wishing to impress upon their children the greatness of Hellas, made the schoolboys memorize Homer, particularly those passages dealing with wars and conquests The Romans saturated their youth with Roman literature, history and law The Hebrew children of all ages are versed, grounded and cromed with the Mosaic and Rabbinical law. The Chinese child hears volumes of Confucius The French child recites La Fontaine, even before he can read Spain drives home the epic of the Cld to the youth of her-land—and so on, through all history, ancient and modern; each land, each nation, impresss most palmstakingly upon the rising generation the fact that it possesses a history and a literature, and that it must live up to the traditions of its history; and make that literature a part of its life. The reason for this is obvious. If a people are to be proud and self-respecting they must believe in themselves. Destroy a man's belief in his own powers, and you destroy his usefulness—render him a worthless object, helpless and hopeless. Tell a people over and over again that they have done nothing, can do nothing, set a limitation for their achieve; ment; impress upon them that all they have or can hope to have is the product of the minds of other peoples; force them to believe that they are pensioners on the mental bounty of another race,—and they will lose what little faith they may have had in themselves and become stultified non-producers. Any parent or teacher knows how disastrous is the result of telling a child how splendidly some other child has done, and asking why he does not go and do likewise. The one so adjurel usually does the exact opposite, in a bitterness of resentment and bloom, it being one of the vagaries human nature to act contrariwise. All this is by way of reminding ourselves that for two generations we have given brown and black children blonde ideal of beauty to worship, a black-white literature to assimilate, and pearly paradise to anticipate, in which their dark faces would hopelessly out of place. That there has not been a complete and absolute stultification of the effort of the race toward self-expression is due only to the fact that we are a people of peculiar resiliency and combativeness. The effect of this kind of teaching is shown in the facts that the beautiful brown dolls, which resemble their tiny playmothers, still have some difficulty in making their way into the homes of our people; that some older religionist still fondly hope that at death, and before St. Peter admits them into Paradise, they will be washed physically white; that Negro business enterprises are still regarded with a doubtful vee; and that Negro literature is frequently mentioned in whispers as a obvious quantity. There is a manifest remedy for this condition, a remedy which the teachers of the race are applying gradually; wherever the need has been brought to their attention. We must begin everywhere to instill race pride into our pupils; not by dull statistics, not yet by tedious iterations that we are a great people, and "if you do not believe it, look at this table of figures, or at the life of so-and-so." Idle boasting of past achievements always leave a suspicion in the mind of the listener that the braggart is not sure of his ground and is bolstering up his opinion of himself. But we will give the children the poems and stories and folk lore and songs of their own people. We do not teach literature; we are taught by literature. The subtlest, most delicate, and lasting impressions of childhood are those gained by the chance poem, the eagerly absorbed fable, the lesson in the reader, the story told in the Sunday school lesson. The fairy prince and the delectable princess have their charm, as opening up a vista into an enchanted land, but the poem that touches closely the heart of a child, and belongs to it because of its very nearness to his own life, is the bit of literature that lifts himabove the dull brown earth and makes him akin to all that is truly great in the universe. These pictures project themselves upon the screen of memory, deeply suggestive of the futility of some of our efforts to reach child life. One is that of a planitive child, to whom the world of books of poetry, and passionately praying. "Oh, please, dear Lord, let me grow up and write things, because none of us have ever written anything, and we ought to, dear Lord, because its awful that we don't write stories and things." Now this was a Southern child in a Southern city taught by colored teachers, and her eager little soul was convulsed with shame that her own people had never accomplished anything in the reals of books she loved. The second picture shows a young THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 1922 girl teaching in a Southern city before it was supplied with modern sewerage when to dig even eighteen inches in the ground brought one to water. The second reader lesson cheerfully told of the joys of string red apples in the cellar to eat when the snow was on the ground. To explain snow to these children in a semi-tropical clime was a feat requiring Herculean efforts, and the medium of impression made was tempered by open skepticism on the faces of the boys. But when the cellar problem was attacked all faith in the teacher's omniscience was blown to the four winds. What, a room undergrown? Why, everyone knew that you couldn't even dig a grave without its filling with water, much lees have a whole room under grown! Prudence and decorum went to the winds, and the little teacher mopped her agitated forehead and prayed for second readers with Southern stories in them. Third: A splendidly equipped school in a sea-side town. The windows of all rooms on one side of the building overlook the Atlantic ocean, and every pane of glass framed a perfect vignet of cloud and wave and white-winged fishing smack, driving before the wind, or lying at anchor with graceful spars silhouetted against a myriad-hued sky. Yet every child in the art classes was busily painting apple orchards of New England and in land places to flower into whiteness and pinkness. There are no apple trees anywhere near this sandy strip of coast that is pounded by the great waves, and spring for that section means the shy wild flowers that bloom in heaped sand dunes, or brilliant marsh-mallows flushing amidst swaying reeds. It means little saucy-frooked fishing smacks running through white-capped ultramarine waves. Yet in all that school not a child had been told to look out of the windw and see the beauties of his own environment. They were copying the reputed beauties of a land miles inland. These pictures stand out in my mind because it seems to me that they symbolize the kind of teaching that we do so much of in some of our schools—the colored child, hungry for information and yet ignorant of the history and achievements of its own race; pupils forced to insult their budding intelligence with an unnecessary situation; youthful artists turning their backs on the beauties about them and copying the contetfelt landscapes which they have never seen. It is high time that we throw off the shackles which convention blinds around our, educational methods and "let down our buckets where we are." Every teacher in a colored school is a missionary. More than the mere instilling of so much knowledge in the heads of the pupils must he or she teach many other things, character through pride of race being one of the greatest. For the youth who is proud of his race will endeavor to live up to its traditions, and will hesitate to do mean things less they sully the ecutcheon. As we have said before, the sentiment of pride and honor fostered in the Negro youth will fire his ambition, his desire to accomplish, even as others of his race have done before him. It is only the exceptional case, the overmastering genius who is thrilled with the desire to conquer because no other has done so. The ordinary one—and there are so many more of him than there are of any other kind—needs encouragement from the deeds of others. But statistics mean nothing to children; they are colorless things savoring to much of tables in arithmetic to be deeply intriguing. The child mind must have concrete examples, for it is essentially poetic and deals in images. It is not enough to say that black men fought in the Revolutionary war to the extent of so many in so many regiments. But there are a number of well told, crisp narrated stories of Crispus Attucks, and even some narrative poems celebrated the blood shed in the Revolutionary war. It is not enough to say that black slaves, from Massachusetts to Maryland, stood by the nation when red-coated, Torres overran the land. Dunbar's spirited ballard of "Black Samsin of Brandywine" will fix the idea in the youthful mind, even as "Paul Revere's Ride" has fixed the date of the battle of Concord and Lexington in the minds of generations of young Americans, white and blacks, from Maine to California. It is well for Negro children to know that the delightful fables of Aesop are the satires of a black slave, and that the author of the incomparable "Three Muskateers" which rejoices the swash-buckling instincts of the adolescent, was a Negro descendent. There are exquisite little nature lyrics particularly snow scenes, by Pushkin (obtainable in translation) as perfect in their picturization, in a way, as those of Bryant, or that of Lowell's "First Snowfall"; and it will make the young chest swell with pride to know that these are the work of one of the greatest Russian poets—an acknowledged Negro. Apart from these exotic instances, the children might well be taught the folk tales of the rice as rich incom- tent and moral lessons as can be found in any folk tales, from Aesop and Beynard the Fox to Ugle Remus. There is a mine of suggestion in Alphonsa Stafford's 'African Folk Stories.' That classic, "The Seedling," by Dunbar, has delighted the little folk of a generation, with its botanical lesson encouched in delicate verse, and the inevitable moral admonition, which all children secretly love, at the end. By the side of Maggie Tulliver we may place Zora, of "The Quest of the Silver Fleece" (DuBose) against Spartacus and his address; the gladiators, is Dessalines and his defiant reminiscence; thrilling rescue stories might be matched by the rescue of the lad in Durham's "Diane"; or by the round-up scene from "The Love of Landry" (Dunbar), to give the proper Western flavor to the boy or girl in love with the Bill Hart type. In company with "The Charge of the Light Brigade" is the "Second Louisiana," and the 'Finish of Patsy Barnes," (Dunbar), for those who love the small boy who over comes for the sake of the mother ill at home. Thanksgiving is commemorated by Braithwaite as delightfully as ever Stevenson 'gave thanks for many things' not to mention "Christmas," by Dunbar or similar poems by those others who have followed in his tread. And the winged words of Booker Washington and Frederick Douglas! The biographies of those who have accomplished great things in the face of heavy odds! Romances of lives as thrilling as the romances which have grown up around Lincoln and Daniel Boone! The girl, Phyllis, and the boy and girl to know of these lives. Paul! How much finer for the Negro boy and girl to know of these lives, and of the work they did; to read the burning, living words that are the work of their own blood and kin; to feel that the lowly ones of the cabins in the country, or the tenements and alleys in the city, may yet give to the world some gift, albeit small, that will inspire and ennoble countless dark-faced children struggling up towards the light. Assuredly we will teach our boys and girls, not only their own history and literature, but works by their own authors. We will ourselves, first achieve a sense of pride in our own productions, with a fine sense of literary values which, will not allow us to confuse trivilities and trash with literature. We will learn to judge a thing as good, because of its intrinsic value and not because it is a Negro's! We will be as quick to throw away valueless stuff written by a black man or woman, as if it were written by a white man or woman. In other words we will recognize but one absolute standard, and we will preserve for our children all that approximates that standard, and teach them to reverence the good that is in their own because it is good. And by so doing, we shall impress most deeply upon the young people of our race, by our own literature, that most valuable of all lessons:— "Be proud, my race, in mind and soul: Thy name is writ on glory's scroll In characters of fire; High, midst the clouds of Fame's bright sky. Thy banner's blazoned folds now fly, And Truth shall lift them higher." —Southern Workman BERT WLLIAMS "It happens: that Bert williams was a client of mine," writes H.

And there's a few interesting thoughts about Mr. Taft as Chief Justice in the same issue.' "We discussed the articles the following day, Sunday, in my room at the Congress—his political reactions were radical—and talk followed concerning Psycho-analysis, /the movies, Gilpin, 'The Emperor Jones,' Al Johnson' and Eddie Cantor. During the course of our talk I suggested that he close for a few weeks after the Chicago engagement and take a rest. He was obviously in ill health. He refused to think of the suggestion. 'Throw a lot of people out of work? Never. I feel a little better to-day.'

THE MATERIAL OF MUSIC ( By G. W. Williams, M. P. A.) To find out the wrong side of anything, it is always best to get acquainted with the right side first. Any subject which is held in mind and understanding, is called theory. The derivation of the word means, a looking at, viewing. So, in music, all the playing the singing and the composing has a purely mental side, developed by viewing, considering, and learning. It is the foundation of all the rest. The language we speak may be written down and read by others, so it is with music. We write our spoken language by means of letters and words. We write the music language by means of notes, clef, staves and other signs. Think of the sounds themselves before they are written and we will see that all sounds are not musical sounds, as musical sounds are distinguished by duration, and pitch, such as high or low, pitched and duration, which is merely the length of time a note is sounded.

Professor Williams plans to prepare an interesting series of articles concerning the books in the collection to be published from time to time.

In England and similar material for the United States, also material for foreign countries. One of the interesting features is the collection of British Blue Books giving the reports of various Parliamentary investigations of slavery in the British slave colonies and the slave trade, and quite a bit of the attempt of the British Government to break up the slave trade. The Tappan Collection was the library of Lewis Tappan, one of the great leaders of the anti-slavery movement, in the United States. It was presented to Howard University in 1873.

He pieced up all books that he found by and about colored people. Quite a number of shelves of works of fiction relating to the Enco question is contained in the collection of Negro Americana. One interesting work of fiction is a book called "Aunt Phillis' Cabin" which was published by a Southern woman a year on two offer "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was published in which the author attempts to give an ideal or romantic view of Southern slavery. Along in this particular collection there is also a key to "Uncle Tom's Cabin" which was published by Miss Stowe in answer to the attack of Southern publishers that the book was not founded upon fact. In this book Miss Stowe gives the facts upon which the book is based and the facts as she had them were a great deal worse than the book portrayed them. Another part of the collection of Negro Americana is the clippings.collection,—a volume of clippings presented to Howard University by John W. Cromwell of Washington, D. C. The most interesting clippings in this collection are those relating to the John Brown Insurrection at Harpers Ferry. \PPOINTMENT OF COLORED NEWSPAPERMAN ANNOUNCED Boston, Mass., March 5th (Associated Negro Press)—Mayer James M.

C., Mar. 3d (Associated Negro Press)—The Associated Negro Press representative found Perry W. Howard, Special Assistant to the Attorney General, really elated over the most unselfish and unjustified efforts for the part of the Honorable James A. Fowler, Special Assistant Attorney General. In behalf of Maurice Mays, whose life he is trying to save. Mr. Howard, in discussing this case said: "Our race group will never know the efforts on the part of Mr. Fowler to save the life of this man, because he believes that Mary is innocent and he is activated from a high sense of justice and not from the expectation of reward or the hope of reward in terms of dollars and cents. "Mr. Fowler was a statutory Assistant Attorney General under former Attorney General Wickersham maintains connections with his firm at Knoxville while noting as Special Assistant to the Attorney General, its private business being of such a nature and magnitude that he cannot afford to sever his connections with it at this time. "I regard Mr. Fowler as one of the really big lawyers that this country has produced and typical of the very best Americanism. He is indeed—characteristic of genius—and is not projecting himself forward in politics, preferring to devote his talents to the law which is unquestionably his bent. "If Mays' sentence is commuted to life imprisonment, it will be due to the indefatigable labors of one whom I am anxious that the race should know his full value." Mr. Fowler has prepared a considerable amount of new evidence which he has placed before Governor Taylor of Tennessee, with the hope of having the death sentence of Maurice Mays commuted. DR.

BANQUET GIVEN BY SUPREME COURT (Continued from Page One) Mr. King pointed out that "we must see to it that full confidence is reposed the administration was expressed when in the courts of the Republic, that the record is not impaired" and that the courts must be secured." "Judges must feel that they are there for the administration of justice and that absolute justice must reign in the courts." Recalling of judges, he pointed out, "should be done only in the case of bad behavior as provided by law." The significant fact was shown when the President referred to the opportunity we enjoyed in Liberia in the administration of our own courts of justice where aliens as well as citizens are able to obtain redress; mentioning that such conditions do not exist in many countries of the world today. "Liberia," he said, "is a government of law and order. We know, no king but Caesar, and Caesar is the law." Acting Atty. General Karnga then toasted to the health of the Legislature and also the health of the Vice President. Among the many things he said: "From the beginning of the history of this country up to the present, this branch of the government has always stood for the rights of the citizens." In responding, Mr. Ross said: "We consider this a new era, and a new epoch in our national history. A new Liberia is looming up and the members of the legislature are here to enter a strenuous session. They are ready to work with the executive government for anything for the good of Liberia." He also commended the work of the Commission and lauded them in showing such great merit of patience and perseverance. A toast to "The Star in its Relation to New Conditions" was made by Counsellor Arthur Barclay, ex-president of the Republic, proposing also the health of Counsellor Edwin Barclay, secretary of state. In offering this toast he showed how the whole world is now changing from the old to the new order of things, and that we are also setting upon a new condition." "In the transformation period, the Lawyers of all countries", he said, "took the lead in bringing about the different changes in progressive movements"; adding that the legal profession had swayed a tremendous influence upon the life of this country. Response made by Secretary of State Edwin Barclay was also filled with landatory expressions to the legal men. "Lawyers have been the foremost to bring about changes for good in all ages." Historical instances where in Greece, Rome, Modern Europe and America many reformations had come about from the result of constant agitation by lawyers, were made by the speaker. This fact was also impressed upon those present, that "we can be a hermit nation no longer" and that "to deal with other nations we must be thoroughly conversant with the laws of other countries." A plea was made for the elevation of the standard of the bar, when Secretary Barclay advocated that "greater restrictions should be placed upon those entering." for, he said, "It is upon the bar that the administration of justice is to be administered." In roasting to the guest of honor, Chief Justice Dosen said: "we have come to the most important toast of the occasion, we consider it not so because of his position but because of his worth for his country." "In speaking further he said: 'Too often afte- men's services in Liberia not known. We do not know what many of our great men have done for the good of the fatherland." Referring to the services rendered by Justice Johnson to Liberia, he mentioned numerous times when he (Justice Johnson) had been on commissions on behalf of the Republic; among them being the commission sent to France to discuss the Franco-Liberian Delimitation question; the one to Germany to settle the case of Fisher-Lemkek vs The Republic of Liberia in which there were claims against the government for several hundred thousand dollars, which was finally agreed that both parties should pay the cost of the Arbitration Board at the Hague, to which the matter had been referred; his having been with President Barclay to London in 1907 to discuss the Anglo-Liberian Delimitation question and his recent service on the Plenary Commission to the United States when a great deal was accomplished by the commission, not only in securing the loan of the five million dollars, but in cementing more closely the friendship which exists between the two governments. Very eloquently was this toast responded to by the guest of honour. A rather significant fact was brought out by the speaker when he hinted that though he had served on several commissions abroad, yet never had there ever been a public reception given in his honour—as an individual—before, that being the first. While telling of his trip to America he said "America is the greatest thing on earth and the American Negro is the greatest thing on the continent." He expressed the greatest admiration for President Harding and Secretary Hughes, saying "I love President Harding. I love Secretary Hughes,—never have seen men manifest deeper sympathy towards a people than did those two splendid men for Liberia." Touching the question of Immigration, Justice Johnson said: "If we could get assistance of the American Negro over here, we would solve our problems". His speech was ended with the wish expressed that our people would appreciate the efforts of Negroes in other parts of the world, for said he "the success of one, would mean the success of the o ther;" also expressing his sincere thanks for the public demonstration given in his honour. Counsellor A. W. Karuga, the acting attorney general, then offered a toast to "The Church as an Elmnetet in the Building of a Nation" which was responded to by the Rt. Rev. W. Sampon Brooks, presiding bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in Liberla. Bishop Brooks, a very enthusiastic speaker and a thorough race man, reminded those present that "we are one family in fight for race building and must not allow anything to keep us divided." Said he, speaking further: "I am a thorough Amercan. and I love America; it is my homeland, but I love my race better than America." "Women the Factor in Present World Conditions' was the toast offered by the Chief Justice to the ladies which was responded to by Counsellor L. A. Grimes. Judge Dossen showed how women are now coming to the forefront in all avenues of life the world over. In speaking of the effect that Woman's Suffrage has in other countries, he strongly urged that the women of Liberia he granted that same right. Now that this plea comes from the head of the judiciary of the Republic, it is highly probable that ere long, our women will be swinging that heavy hammer—the ballot. An observation was made by Counsellor Grimes in his response to the toast in behalf of the Indice, which was that the occasion had a special historical significance to the Indice in that it was the first function of its kind given by the Supreme Bench and Bar at which ladies were present. In glowing terms he paid very high trl- JOHN D RAKER A MAN GAINS POISSE, DIGNITY AND SELF-CONFIDENCE by wearing custom-tailored clothes that are made-to-measure for him and him alone.

Reliable, highclass Agents wanted Dute to the Womanhood of Liberia and asserted the fact that the women of Liberia are also coming to the front and campaign very invariably with the women of other countries. By first time the two hours of the morning had stolen in, but before the guests took their leave, a tourist was offered by Chief Justice Dossen proposing the health of the Senior Member of the bar—Ex-president Barclay. It was then exposed that the success of the evening had been due to the efforts of this "Grand old-young gentleman, who was the vice atrge of the whole affair. The National Anthem was played by the band after which those present hade allen one to the other.

WOMEN VOTERS HOLD MEETING! —_ t Membership In League Being Increased | gee are, Ser a ogee te Jevening of last week at Tabvernalce Bap }tist church by the League of Women ‘Voters was largely attended and much Jeuthualasm was manifested in the ac- ‘tivities of the league. Each number Jou the program was well rendered, the principal feuture of which was the paper by the vice chairman,\Mrs. Af LL, Ayers, ih which she urged the wo- men to Join the organization, emphasts- ing the fact that the activities of the league do not in auy wise ron counter tu avy other organization with ybick they are counecteil. ‘Mrs. Ayers’ paper which was ea- thustastically received, was In part as follows. ' a | “ No doubt there are some here to- night who have not heard very much of the League of Women Voters here in your city, saying the least of the Na-| tional Negro Womens’ League of the Country, I shall endetavor to give you a few facts. “First, the Negro Women’s National League was organized Nov. 24 1919, in Washington, D, 0. Later this organi- zation -was Incorporated under the! laws of the District of Columbla, with headquarters in Washington, D: C., to ‘organize tke colored women in politl- eal clubs In elties, towns and precincts “The Negro Women’s National League was organized for the purpose ‘of champloning the great principles, of the Republican party, liberty, equal-| ity, justice, and to lift the race to a higher plane of American citizenship. No state in the unton ts giving today, absolutely justice.to her Negro citizens: and some are erén denying the right of citizenstip. There is only one hope for the accomplishments of these ideals and that is by organization, co-opera- tion and unity. “From the election of Lincoln to the triumphant clection Sf Warren G. Hard ing, covering a period of more than sixty years, Negroes have been strugs!- ing for anchorage in national life, In the early morning of freedom, Doug- lass, Bruce, Langston, Pinchback, Turner and a host of otLer race giants began the fight for Negro citizenship. They fought as best they knew and woh many a signal vietoty, but there fs yet a tremendous work to be done and it Is up to the Negro women of the United States to do thelr part, I rev peat, my deur friends, there s but one anil only one hope for us as a race and that is organization, co-operation and unity. “The first annual national political convention of Negro women was held last August, 1921, in Kansas City, Mo. That contention should ‘mark the begin ing of a new and brighter day for our race. “My dear friends, for more than half a century the yLite women fought In season and out of season for sufferage They have given time, talent, money and Influence to obtain sufferaze. Now since sufferaze has been given to us through the suffering of others what Jare we roing to do with it? To lift |the standard of Negro citizenship and '| ‘in for the race a place in the sunlight {of liberty and of opportunity means Jorganization, co-operation and unity '|among ourpeople, To wall and mourn and pray for success without action 211 be of ‘no avail, We must buckle on {bur armor and fight for liberty. || "Tre League of Women Voters which | wim sooner or later be organized fn Jovery elty, town and precinet, 1s for the sole purpose of eddcating our women [in good citizenship, co-operation and (preparedness.
