Was A Man Of Unusual Power And Influence; Statesman And Diplomat Of National Fame. At the meeting of the School Board last Tuesday, evening, the name "J Milton Turner" was approved by the Colored Children's Association of Colored children, which is near completion on Kennerly avenue near Pendleton. In selecting this name, the committee took into consideration many suggestions but the name of Turner seemed to be the most outstanding from an educational point of view. J. Milton Turner was a pioneer educator of colored youth of the state. He was one of the founders of the present University, now named Jefferson City, and also one of the first contributors to this institution. He was a statesman and diplomat of international fame, and possessed annual zeal for his race. An Inspirational Life A friend and intimate acquaintance of Mr. Turner has this to say of his life: "James Milton Turner (familarly known as Milton Turner) was born in St. Louis County in the year 1844. His father John Turner (also known as Conn) had a one-time master that surname) had bought himself prior to Milton Turner's birth, and purchased his wife and Milton when the latter was about 2 years old. Was Taught to Read "Milton Turner was clandestinely taught to read by a white religious societ, who defied the laws of the state (that specifically forbade education of Negroes) because he believed all persons should be able to read the Bible. The imprisonment of the teacher put an end to Turner's teaching for several years. When he was 14 years old he found himself, after some journeying about in search of a chance to go to school in the city, to Oberlin College, Ohio. Dr. Fitzchild found Turner a home and put him in the district school, where he remained a pupil for several years, making a prograss somewhat beyond the average. His father's death compelled Milton Turner's return to Missouri to support his mother and sisters. Starting of Lincoln University "Turner was a bootleah and general factum at Camp Jackson when CONTINUED ON SEVEN WINNERS START FOR HOLY LAND Four Ministers Sail For Palestine. Two Months Of Travel And Education In The Land Where Christ Lived. Yesterday will go down as another milestone in the history of Negro achievements. It was the climax of a round-27 receptions and dinners honoring four ministers of our group who sailed in the first cabin of the palatial S. S.

Jones, President of Oklahoma State Baptist Convention, pastor of Antioch Baptist Church, Muskegee, Oklahoma, Halthoose, Finance, unittemester of the M. E. Church, Pastor Allen Temple A. M. E. Church, Clutchin, Ohio. It is singularly significant that these men are making so extensive a trip in such luxurious manner without expense to themselves. It is to be recalled that they carried the trip they have begun by successfully competing against three hundred fifty other entrants in the Medium G. J. Walker Manufacturing Company. Great Trip to the Long Coast which he and Jaty Theil departure marked the beginning of a two month trip to the above named countries with every item of necessary expense help paid by the Walker Company. This contest represented the first and largest of their ever attempted by Hughes, Squam and the departure of the wager by Hughes. This event was the culmination of the BARK BOAT COMPETITION.

The appalling situation, that the state and St. Louis are in at the present time, and the need for a stronger fight to stop the crime, which exists in the country, may be cited by some facts given by Guy A.

I feel well rewarded for my efforts this afternoon, because children can appreciate music more than any other group of beings, and they derive a greater benefit from it. It helps to magnify the spiritual side of their life in proportion to the outward side." Stressed Value of Music He spoke of the power of music to break down prejudice and feelings of animosity, and lauded it as a medium for better understanding.

Great hope was entertained by the stockholders as well as the colored people generally when a short while ago it was stated that Eastern capitalists, headed by Julius Rosenwald of Chicago, had arranged to finance the Standard out of its difficulties, but for some mysterious reason, at the last moment this assistance was used to hide the credit of those imprisoned grimmies, great odds, and as a result, the same Southern Life that took the Mississippi off the Standard hands about a year ago, now comes to the rescue, and takes over the affairs of the Standard in the form of a "merger."

The activities of the Industrial Department for the month of December, 1924, show signs of a better day. This statement is not attributed to the simple increase of the number of placements made during the month of December, but largely upon the type of employment given out during that month. A statement that more domestic help will be needed during holiday seasons than at other times. Not only was there an increased demand for general house workers, butlers, porters, maids, etc., but for the first time since the month of April has the demand for foundry workers, such as chippers, riveters and moulders been so great. With the women, clerks and stenographers have been hard to find. For the month of December, our total number of placements was 122 while the total number of orders was 116. The number of orders which went unfilled during the month of December were, in a great measure, skilled positions. It has been particularly noticeable that a large number of people served through our offices have been recent arrivals from the south. We do not take this as indicative of a renewed migration, for a large number of these people have, at one time or other, lived in St. Louis and are returning now to be on hand when the larger industries resume full activities. MRS. CASSIE HARRIS OUSTED AS WARD COMMITTEEWOMAN At a meeting and election of officers of the Fifth Ward Republican Club, held at the club's headquarters, 921 North Twenty-second street.

Officers elected were: Bep Minmim, Justis of the Peace, president; Mrs. Beatrix Scott, vice president; John J. Cunningham, secretary; Theodore Smith' financial secretary; and Harry Fishsh, treasurer.

Report Of Xmas Donation To The Old Folks Home To the Readers of the St. Louis Argus The family of the Ocobed Old Folks Hoban grand New Years greeting We want to let you know how much we are enjoying comfort, of our new home. It's electric lights, hot and cold water, inside toilets, and the splendid furnace that heats the building so thoroughly that it is delightfully warm and comfortable even on the coldest day. But our joy was complete on Christmas at the breakfast table we found that Santa Claus had visited the institution. At every plate he had left a beautiful Christmas box filled with all kinds of good things to eat, and hanging on our chair backs were beautiful new articles of needed clothing. For a minute all were silent, but we soon broke forth. Some of us fell on our knees, some laughed, some cried, and some sang "Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow." The breakfast room passed joyously. At 12:30 we were again summoned to the dining room, and sat down to eat. The whole day passed in merriment and good cheer, and will no doubt be long remembered by every one present. The Board of Managers returns, many thanks for the following donations: To the St. Louis County Welfare Association for bath towels, wash clothes, socks, hose and pillow cases; to Moors Lumber Company for candy and cigars; to the Community Council Christmas. Cheer Club for underwear for the women and a box of chickens; to St. Paul A. M. E. Church Mite Missionary Society for a splendid box of apples. During the holidays the minutes of the Home of the Missionary Society, C. D. Forges, son, prophetors of the Hotel Dufos, Nine of the inmates with the Superintendent, attended. There they met Mrs. Josephine Brisle, Superintendent of the St. Louis Colored Orphans' Honeys, and twenty-three of her little ones. As they sat around the table it was an impressive nine. Nine of the old folks with their superintendent and Dr. and Mrs. Geo. E. Stevens at one end, and twenty three little boys and girls with their superintendent at the other. It was a turkey dinner all that goes with it. Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson were curses for the old folks returning home for which we return many thanks. Mrs. Ferguson Harris, President. JOHN LEWIS, HERO John Lewis, the Negro porter employed on the combination observation car and diner that plunged from a streekt into the Chippewa river. Insists as he lies in a Chippewa Falls hospital that he was not herole in the accident, but that he merely did his duty. His wife, who is at his bedside, and the luckless passengers he added know better. John Lewis knew he merely played the part of a man employed by the Putnam company to look after the interest of the passengers on his car. With both banks frozen and suffering from exposure as a result of the experience, John Lewis will be in the hospital for some days. It is not known whether, if he recovers, he will be as physically strong as he was. Frozen flesh frequently must be amputated to prevent the worst complication known to medical science which is blood poisoning. The porter standing in the partly submerged car standing in the water at temperature was below zero and pulled out to the rescueers the trapped passengers. Someone offered him mittens. "Give them to the ladies," he replied. It was not long until all feeling passed out of the hands and feet of the porter, but he continued to find living victim of the wreck and assist them to crawl through an opening to safety. His head was cut and his body fearfully bruised as a result of crushiness he stayed at his post regardless of the injury and played the part of a national hero. Lewis, Negro porter of the Soo line, would have made a good soldier. As it is he is a first class citizen who puts duty, ahead of personal safety and comfort. - Sioux City Journal.

MUSIC, ART, DRAMA AND LITERATURE By RICHARD JACKSON Differences in attitudes towards art are due to differences in personalities to a marked extent, but environment is a weighty factor in determining aesthetic appreciation or AVI appreciation issues though a process of education. There is hardly a normal being who does not get pleasure from the beauty of art. Even a savage is fond of trinkets and ornaments; a child loves the stories of "King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table;" poor in spirit and afflicted are lifted by the sight of beautiful paintings, and dumb brutes are curtralized by sweet strains of music. It is a divine inspiration that God planted in the hearts of all flying creatures, but even as a small seed, it the soil, in which it falls is fertile and well tended, it will yield good fruit, but if not, it will run wild and bear poor fruit. R. E. Kennedy's "Black Camerot": A rather amusing and unique book that deals with the life and dolos of the Negro in the South and gives an interesting study of his songs and verse, is one written by R. Emmett Kennedy called "Black Camerot" as might be expected, the book is fairly hardened with the dark humor and sullen wit that are the usual stage and book stereotyped identification. tags of the American Negro. 24k gold. The Negro is the author of the book is its fine study of the natural creative genius of the Negro song. The background of Mr. Kennedy's "Black James" is southern Louisiana. He gives a humorous picture of this section of the country and its Negro dwellers through a collection of tales and stories. Seventeen folk songs listed as "Siriusb" are presented in connection with the stories. Five of the melodies, however, are not "Siriusb" but tunes of the rattime type: "Honey Billy" and "Stella" are distinctly Blues; that crude type of popular black ballad is ditto in the South (principally the well known W. C. Handy) became popular in New York, and now bids for harpings in the concert halls. Songs of this character, however, are not confounded with the deepy religious — "Siririnala" inspired by hymnms and miscevering Christian faith in ultimate victory over moral trials. Mr. Kennedy notes that a number of familiar melodies, "Lil' David Play on Your Harp." "Ain't Dat surprise last Monday evening, the Good News," etc. are known in va- occlusion being his birthday anne- vious versions throughout the South- sary. He was the recipient of a num- Concerning the songs and stories the number of beautiful and useful gifts, for author writes: "Like the American Indian, he (the Negro) has made a beautiful unconditional bequest of song and legend, which has played an important part in the development of folk literature and music in this country. The modern deluge of so-called 'ragtime' has had the unfortunate tendency to give the impression that the Negro is nothing more than a quality humorous minde—which of course is limited to the ingenuant who have never heard of Rothan Hays or the Fisk Sullivan Singers. 'Ragtime' does not express the true Negro sentiment." "Black Canoes" is primarily a book of humorous stories transcribed from Negroes themselves, while the sketches are those of real persons. The author has written and observed. They are written in the dialect of the Lolusham Negro, a speech which the author finds to be quite different from the other southern dialects, e.g., the Kokopelli. Prencie language, which held sway in the colonies for so long, a time "This dialect is not contended with the Creole language, the language of the French people of mixed ancestry, but spoken alli&equiv;s pure Frenchmen and his fathers of the provinces as well as by the colored Creoles." the author state. The Creole language is a French patois, which was influenced to a great degree by the African tongue. The Negro dialect of the Kokopelli language is the French dialect influenced somewhat by the French. In this quarter speech the author attempts and makes on well at it—to portray one phase of Negro character. The comic tale of "Noble's Vision," irresistibly funny, and the indigenous story of "Liska's Children" extremely laughable, are quite refreshing passions of narration and this scripture in which the happy and carefree spirit of the Negroes of the Sunny South is obviously present, shedding, radiant beams of the love of simple hearts that relocate in living- The National Ethiopian Art Theatre A movement which had its inception in the dreams and ideals of Anne Wolter, a little woman who for eight years past has labored to build up an appreciation and understanding of beauty, and closer relation and friendship between her group and ours; a movement which is founded on the destroying of race prejudice and the building up of a spirit of comity and good will between all men is compassed in the development of the National Ethiopian Art Theatre in New York City. It is in the materializing of her dream visions that she sees the forming of the national Ethiopian Art Theatre and, so-called in Harlem, she believes that art can also many headed dragon of prejudice, and it is to this end that she is concentrating her efforts ad connection with the laughing of this art school and theatre movement.

Gilpin, America's greatest colored dramatic actor, is giving the patrons of the Booker Washington a sample of his talented art this week. Lawrence Chanault and Miss Rose McClendon, both of whom have made their mark on the dramatic stage as well as in the film world. The offering is entitled "White Mule" and has to do with the evil effect of indulging too freely in the present day. "Moonshine." In this case a remarkable dream brings a regeneration. In the action of this dream two strong points are emphasized: the falsity of the hero's color and the horrors of harboring lynching. Gilpin's art is well displayed and the support is strong in character interpretations. George Crawford opens the show with songs and rapid fire monologue. He brings it to a climax with an act robatic dance, featuring the "Frog Man" and scoring a big hit. The "Three Dixie Echoes" are second. This trio consists of Tim Young and Willie Richardson. They young, sing and sling a bit of sarcasm, closing with a love middle caused by the "Ever nat Triangle." The act goes over good. Tim and Gertie Moore close the show. Tim has a new edition of his characteristic comedy and keeps the audience constantly laughing. The team opens with "I Don't Mess With Folks After They're Dead," and incidentally Tim talks about his deceased mother-in-law and sets the audience screaming. He also makes a hit singing "I Can't Change It." They close with their version of the "Charleston," in a storm of applause.

Veterans Hospital No. 92, Jefferson Burracks, Mo. in order to receive a special treatment' for his disability, which was not available at U. S. Veterans' Hospital No. 92, Jefferson Burracks, Mo. His present condition is reported slightly improved. The Adjusted Compensation Renewed activity is aroused by ex-service men and the beneficiaries of the Adjusted Compensation or Bonus, on account of a number of applicants for the benefit of their Carrier or of Insurance from the Adjutant General of the Army. These certificates should be carefully guarded against loss or destruction and a suggestion has been made by the American Legion that upon the receipt of the Certificate, each Veteran should notify his beneficiary, giving the Service Serial number of the veteran, which is found in the lower left corner, in order to saiguard the interests of his beneficiary as well as his own. Disregard and ignorance as to the many benefits ex-service men are entitled to, has been the cause of the death of many American and officers of the American Legion are affected toward the elimination of such. GET BONUS BLANKS Through the kindness of Honoreble J. C. Dyer, the St. Louis Argus will distribute blanks to all former service man of the World War, who desire to make claims for bonus under the recent act of Congress. These free and can be paid for the asking. Notryt service can also be had.

MAN WHO BURNED HOUSE AND TWO INFANTS GETS LIFE IMPRISONMENT When Prisoner Admits Guilt A sentence of life imprisonment was imposed by Circuit Judge Frey or Amos Lusso, exconvict, who pleaded guilty, to first-degree murder, growing out of charges that he saw to fire at the police street last July 13 resulting in the death of Ida and August Perkins, aged 3 and 5 respectively. Lucas originally was quoted by officers as saying he acted under the advice of the mother of the two children, who he averted, "wanted to get rid of them." The report was read from Director Nelson of the Psychiatric Clinic, to the effect that Lucas was feeble-minded and FRANK MANN Professional Bondsman Qualified To $15,000.00 ALL KINDS OF BONDS 4066 Finney Ave. Lindell 3229 Lindell 5197-W BARBER SHOP RESIDENCE Service At Any Hour irresponsible. the defendant pleaded not guilty when the case was first called several days ago.

Jones declared he—accidently shot Suhl while defending blimself from an assault. JUNIOR IDEAS Edited By LQRETTA E. OWENS (Continued From Last Week) To read with attention, exactly to define the expressions of our author, never to admit a conclusion without comprehending its reason, often to pause effort and inferigate ourselves, these are so many advises which it is easy to give, but difficult to follow. The same may be said that almost every ideal maxim of forgetting friends, country, religion, of giving merit its due praise, and embracing truth wherever it is to be found. But what ought we to read? Each individual must answer this question for himself, agreeably to the object of his studies. The only general precept that I would venture to give is that of Fliny, "to read much, rather than many things" to make a careful selection of the best works, and to read them familiar to us by effective and repeated perusus. Without expatulating on the authors so generally known and approved, I would simply observe, that in matters of reasoning the best ars考斯 those who are amusing to the reader, the number of useful truths, who have discovered truths of whatever nature they may be; in one word those bold spirits who, quitting the beaten tracks, prefer being in the wrong alone, to being in the right with the multitude. In works of fancy, invention ought to bear away the palm; chiefly that invention which creates a new kind of writing! and next, that which displaces the charms of novelty in its subject, character, situation, pictures, thoughts and sentiments. Yet this invitation will miss its effect, unless it be accompanied with a genius capable of adapting it to the circumstances in which it successfully simulates, pathetic flowery, and playful, and with a judgment which admits nothing indigenous, and a style which expresses well what ought to be said. As to compilations which are intended merely to treasure up the thoughts of others I ask whether they are written with perspiration, whether superstitions are looped off, and dispersed observation skillfully collected and agreed to my answers to these questions. I estimate the merit of such BIRTHDAYS AND GOSSIP New Kewpie, I have anticipated that each member and his birthday date be published that other Kewpie might send them a list of birthday cheer. The following are those to whom birthday greetings are to be sent this week: Lloyd J. Booker, January 12, 153 First Street, Lackawanna, New York; Lavette Jackson, January 11, 200 Carolina Street, Louisiana, Mo.; Lucas J. Cooper, 1637 West Belle, St. Louis, January 14. Will Kewpie Delores Humphrey, formerly of Detroit, Michigan, kindly send me her St. Louis address. I am asking the following Kewpie to please send her their birthday dates: Miss Hazel Thompson, 1407 Anderson Street, Nashville, Tn.; Miss Mimi Lewis, 3112 Hickory St. sr. St. Louis, Mo.; and Mr. John Mayberry, 750 S. Sixth Street, St. Louis, Mo. SPICE OF LIFE By Kewpie Ailene Williams Motorist: Yes, it took me about six weeks hard work to learn to drive my machine.

Cullahan: (to his girl in restaurant) Will you have a little shrimp? She: This is so sad, Mike I desire to become a member of the Argus Kewle Club. Name ..... Address ..... Age ..... Birthday .....

Jan. 14.—Manslaughter is charged, in the indictment returned by the grand jury yesterday against Charles E. Cooper, 17-year-old student at Armstrong High School. It is alleged that in a copier stabbed Robinson with a knife, and that the injury resulted in the latter's death. OLYMPICS' STAR COMING TO THE "0" BOYS' CONF. De Hart Hubbard To Attend City's Fourth Annl. Session Starting Jan. 30. Big Year Anticipated. The Fourth Annual City-Wide Older Boys' Conference will convene in St. Louis, January 30 and 31 and February 1 at the Pine Street-Y. M. C. A. This conference has been promoted by the Y. M. C. A. with great success during the past three years because of the splendid co-operation of seventeenth churches of the city, which grew out of a group established as the Older Boys' Co-operative Council, which is composed of officially selected older boys delegates from various churches, which take turns in entertaining this group at monthly funcheons, where plans are discussed and adopted for the promotion of the spiritual welfare of young men and boys through uniting them with; and holding them to the churches. A number of inter-church scripture groups have already been promoted this organization. This year the Pine Street-Y. M. C. A. has invited the Council to act as the host of the Older Boys' Conference, which has been an outstanding attraction among the older boys and young men of the city for the past three years. A distinct feature of this year's conference will be the attendance of DeHart Hubbard, versatile track star, and champion broadjumper of the world, who hails from the University of Michigan. Hubbard, who is a product of the Older Boys' Conference, the HiY Movements, the Y.M.C.A. and the church, will deliver a message drawn from his rich experiences in these fields'. He holds his connection, with those institutions important to him, in a brilliant record in college and athletics. Has Great Record Hubbard, who is a senior journalist at the University of Michigan, has been directly responsible for the school winning "Big Ten" championships. During the past three years, he has been the most feared track-man in the conference, nearly always emerging from its meets as high-point winner. He has beaten some of the best athletes in the high and low hurdle races, the 100-meter race, and the broad jump, running the 9-45 and jumping over 24 feet consistently. Last year he won the Olympic broad jump event with a leap of 24 feet 6 inches, thus giving the American team 6 points. He has jumped 25 feet 8 inches unofficially, and is striving to break the world's record of 25 feet 6 inches. Hubbard is not only well known as an athlete, but also as a newspaper man. He has reported for many of the Leading dalles of the country, and served as editor on a Detroit weekly, his writings, especially in the field of sport, being widely read. When he returned to his home town, Cincinnati, from the Olympics, he given a great ovation by the citizens, the flavor of Cincinnati being among the blooming committee. There is no doubt that Hubbard will be given a warm reception by the people of St. Louis when he arrives on the 20th. Not only will he be the guest of the Older Boys' Conference, but of many other citizens who are planning to do him honor. It is conceded that Hubbard's presence will help to make this year's Older Boys' Conference the most successful ever attempted in St. Louis. Hubbard is a member of the Ome der Psf Phil Fraternity. Journalist J. A. Jackson Elevated To 33rd D. Masonry Associated Negro Press NEW YORK, N. Y., Jan. 14.—On October 20, J. A. Jackson, editor of a department in the Billboard, the big white theatrical publication, and a contributing member of the staff of the Associated Negro Press, was elevated to the 33rd, and last degree of Masonry by the supreme council of the Southern jurisdiction of the U. M. Jackson's activities in the interests of the theatrical profession that resulted in the organization of the National Deuces Club. A special unit of the coffees devoted to the showfolks is largely responsible for his elevation to the highest position. Another consideration was the fact that for several years he has donated his services as editor to a fraternal publication of the Shriners. The Cara van. The Deacons have just expressed their appreciation of the work of Mr. Jackson by quietly making a nationwide collection of funds under the guidance of their president, Billy King, himself a 32° Mason, and surprising the journalist with a beautiful watered,silk Baldfacd embroidered body-wear decorations emblematic of the high degree. Contributions come from almost every state and from Deacons high both in professional and fraternal life. NEW YORK. Jan 14. Chicely due to the pleas of Col. Arthur Little, white commander of the 369th Infantry (Colored) Mrs. Ellie Lebelle, wife of Harry A. Isbell, former member of the 369th Infantry that resulted in his death, while on duty, has been granted an annual pension of $880 by the Board of Estimates and Appointment. (Col. Little appeared before the board several times and presented continuing arguments in favor of the beloved woman. PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—As results of a departmental flight, which has been conducted by Negro welfare bodies for a new trial for Lymnae Thomas, who is under death sentence for the murder of Harry Saunders, Justice Scheffer handed down a decision granting a new trial which was concurred with by the entire bench. The decision was based upon the fact that during the trial which led to the young woman's conviction, the district attorney, in his case Mr. Kelley, was permitted to cross-examine the witness to testify in an attempt to show that the defendant and Saunders had been leading immoral Hives together. SAY KING "TUT" IS JOSEPH OF THE BIBLE Associated Negro Press. LONDON, Eng. Jan. 14—A merry war is raging among Biblical scholars of varying religious persuasions in England, over an attempt to identify King Tut. Ankh.Amen, the ancient Egyptian monarch hymnata two monarchs, set the scientific world agog with the assertion that King Tut. Ankh.Amen is the Biblical Joseph, the gentleman of the, "coat of many colors." The Jewish World recently published the article dealing with the identity of "Tut" and quoted a noted Egyptologist, who in the New York Jewish Forum, argued in favor of this theory. If the professor's surmise is correct, says the Jewish World, it follows that the ancient Egyptian monarch of Tut. Ankh.Amen is open to it will be found to be empty because when the children of Israel went up out of Egypt they took with them the bones of Joseph. CALL ME NOT TOPSY AND SAMBO Why call me Topsy and Sambo, When in your hearts, well do you know, My lineage, and ancestral name? And of neither am I ashamed. You know my tols and caves, 'tis true. The many things you made me do; You know of the troubles I've had; The oppression you made me bear. I was Topsy, I was Sambo But those names, I've lost long ago Since I have seen the light of day. And my mother weekly prayed, That I might cross the troubled sea; And thank my God on bended knee For a haplier and brighter shore, I've not been Topsy nor Sambo. Call me not Topsy and Sambo, Tho' I be rich, tho' I be poor, Measure me by what I know, And the courage and will I show. Not by, the texture of my hair, Nor my skin, whether black or fair Give me credit for what I have done And the victories I have won. That I can challenge any man Whether near or far, in any land. Prove the Negro is staunch and strong What folks think about him is wrong; Prove, that he is loyal and true, And will co-operate with you. Call me the late Nora Gordon, She who loved the word of God Who braved the tropic climate Of Africa, with faith sublime. That she might bring comfort and choer To a race she loved most dear With them she toiled she by side, For them she gave her life and died. Call me Mary McLeod Bethune, The undaunted Mary Bethune, A daughter of Ethiopia, Who can measure arms and cope, With any situation, and yet She gives not herself to petty frets A woman great, and yet can stoop To lesser members of our group. Call me, not Sambo, but Dunbar, The late poet and man of the hour, Courageous, and with vision far Heedless of the enemy's power; Wrote the sweetest monsters I've read They are our hope, on them we're fed A noble work, a wondrous shrine, His foot-prints, on the sands of time. Call me the late Booker Washington, He who so well, life's dhir run A builder of civilization A man of courage and patience. For his race he advocated, The genius and educator. Cal me Professor George Carver, his works, the whole world marvels Whose achievements in research, Has caused widespread fame as such A man, or any race of men, Might well be proud, and to him Greetings, goodwill with faith sorcer In him, a scientist, on the scene Please in your thoughts and memory. Record me by the names you know And not by Topsy and Sambo. —Mrs. B. C. Woolfolk 4260 Cook Avenue.

ROBBER SO COLD, COULDN'T SAVE PAL, CALLS OFFICER NEW YORK. Jan. 14—Nature is severe at times even to such an extent as to cause men to sacrifice their freedom; this was well demonstrated, when a burglar sought the aid of an officer to save his salam from a terrible plight that the extreme cold weather had placed him in. The burglar was Paul Nelson 24. of 136 West 142nd street, and the policeman, Walter Donaldson. The other burglar, Julius Hull, 26. of 148 West 141st street had been left dangling at the end of a rope eleven stories above the ground, because his pal hands were so numb that he could not swing him into a window on that floor. Nelson told the police how he had lowered Hill from the thirteenth story roof to the eleventh floor, where he was to break through a window and rob an office. When the former tried and could not give his pal the necessary swing, the latter yelled up. "I only have to die so once I guess the fall won't hurt as much as the rope and the cold." Frightened at this statement, Nelson rushed from the building and told Patrolman Donaldson, who rescued Hill and then carried the two sorrowful criminals to fall. INDIANA LEGISLATURE BACKS SEGREGATION BILL INDIANA LEGISLATURE BACKS SEGREGATION BILL INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Jan. 14. Following the disclosure of a proposed intervention of Klan force "in the satte, legislature two wrecks ago, in which it was announced that the Klan had toate plains" which it intended for the state legislature to follow, the latter body is sponsoring a bill to "im-crow" all Negroes on public carriers including street cars, motor buses and trains. It is thought that the bill is a direct result of Klan activity in the legislature. Although the colored citizens of the state are protesting vigorously, the bill is regarded as a real menace since the assembly is under the control of the Klan faction.

Well, I have been as a bit worried. Malach over timors that are in circulation regarding the conduct of quite a few of the girls during the holidays. And what are these rumors, Auntie? Why, I was told that these girls made several visits to a questionable place on the east side, and their conduct over there was very unbecoming to self-respecting people, and I would like to know if it is true. Yes, Auntie, it is true that a bunch of we went over there but we went for the novelty of it. There was no wrong intended, and I am quite sure the proprietor knew we were not of the type found frequenting such places. In other words, we were stumbling, as they call it. Now, Mabel, how do you know that the proprietor knew that you were any better than the others who visit such places. Judging from your conduct while over there, I would say he would be justified in puffing you on the same level. Have you ever seen a bird of a feather flock together? If you would have: believe you to be better than the others, you must "avoid the appearance of civil." One cannot play with fire often and be burned.

Jan. 13— At noon Monday, January 12, Mr. Baker was inaugurated Governor of the State of Missouri. The House of Representatives is Republican. The Senate is Democratic. Last week it was reported that 144 persons were appointed as employees. The salaries of the men ranged from about $2.50 per day. At the beginning, just before the election of the pres- sident for the first time in the history of that body, the House of Rep- resentatives, there was a Negro applicant as page. The ballot read as follows: Vote for Paul K. Robinson, the only colored applicant as page. These ballots were distributed so well that there is no question as to the final outcome in his favor had our Republican stalwarts stood up he he was not successful, he and he must have been coo- couraged and they will come again asking the powers for their vote. Let our Republican members know that our boys must have an opportu- nity. They must be given a chance. If the voters are to give the representatives their suffrage.

MISSOURI PRESS ASSOCIATION ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Foreign Advertising Representatives W. B. Ziff Co., 608 South Dearborn St., Chicago, Ill. "I am convinced myself that there is no more cell in this present world than race prejudice; none at all! I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. If Justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world."—B. G. Wella. The approaching mayoralty campaign of this city surely presents a mighty challenge to the colored people to show their intelligence, strength of courage, and sound judgment. As in the past, there will be those who will cast their votes for certain candidates for various reasons, therefore, an entire solid vote for one candidate is hardly to be expected. But there ought to be, for our own protection and benefit, some organized effort among us which will serve to unify our voting strength to the end that the power of our vote may be felt in the most effective way. The masses are ready for just this kind of thing. They want to get somewhere. They see that we are still in the wilderness. They are longing for the cry, "go forward," but the leadership is standing still or marking time. To go forward at this time will require wise and sane leadership. Not the self-seeking kind that has blinded our path for the past forty years, but the self disinterested kind that has the welfare of the people at heart. The job-hunters, and those with itching palms, cannot be rusted for leadership; not that seeking a job is wrong, or that it is wrong to expect monetary consideration for service, but when so-called leaders are seeking jobs for themselves, it is but human to expect them to think of self first. Experience has taught us that in most instances, one loses sight of the interest of the people when seeking places for self. So, the challenge to us to-day, the city of St. Louis, is to find that unselfish leadership that an and will speak and act for us in an unselfish way. We realize the difficulties that of necessity must come in our day when we attempt to organize. We also know that it is ext to impossible for all of us to follow one leader; but we can come together for council and act through committees. We can come and reason together, for, in the final analysis, whatever affects one, affects the other to a greater or lesser degree. Congressman L. C. Dyer has written to the St. Louis daily papers urging these publications to support his efforts to break up lynching in this country by advocating federal anti-lynching law. Of course, it is hardly to be expected that any of these newspapers will support such a law because that would look too much if a sincere effort to really put an end to lynching is being made. We have noted that some of these papers are giving as their reason for not supporting federal control of lynching, that it is impractical, and a usurpation of states rights. The question of states rights is a very indefinite term, and, no doubt, hard to define. Judging by the number of present federal laws that are closely allied with states laws, it looks to us as if the powers of the government have a pretty wide latitude. There may rightfully be some doubt, however, or differences of opinion, as to what constitutes states rights, but we all agree that the United States Government owes to every citizen, by the declaration of its Constitution, the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. These are the natural common benefits that should be enjoyed by all. When a state fails, therefore, by reason of lax law enforcement; or by inability to protect life, and assure the citizens these benefits, it is the duty of the government to step in and make good its declaration of the principles enumerated in its Constitution. In other words, the United States Government owes these things through the local or state governments. It is, therefore, incumbent upon those who are opposed to government interference to see to it that the local or state officers do their duty. There seems to be no use of discussing even the remotest possibility of the states, especially the southern states, and those moculated with the southern spirit, passing a law, or doing anything else to step lynching in their borders. For more than urs, lynching has gone on in defiance of the Constitution or the several states, and that of the United States. These lynchings have been protected under the guise of states rights. This cry has continued until it has become a huge joke. No one who thinks any longer has any faith in the sincerity of suchries. If the daily papers of St. Louis are really sincere about states rights, and think that the state can, and should, pass such laws as would protect its citizens from the disgraceful mob-violence, then let them show Mr. Dyer by getting behind a law to be introduced in the present legislature that will, at least, prevent a lynching in the state from looking so much like a holiday in a heathen land. We all, more or less, have seen the picture representing Justice in the form of a woman blindfolded with a pair of balances in her hand as a symbol of justice and equality before the law. It might act as a general reminder to some of our judges if one of these symbols were placed on their desks while trying some cases. In helping others, in an unselfish way, we oftimes help ourselves to a most surprising degree. When we are all worked up over some act of indiscretion on the part of our fellowman, let us think of His words when He said: "He that is without sin, let him cast the first stone." Let those who talk so much about states rights think a little more about human rights. "History repeats itself," so said the speaker. The great men of the past left their footprints on the sands of time, by being strong and courageous. They dared to do the right despite the howling of the mob, or the lust for office. We will see some more great men when we have those who, are, willing to follow the footsteps of those gone on before. Custom has so shaped things in this country that we find it necessary for special mention to be made of our group when public officials are addressing the American public. We wish it were not necessary, but it is, and we, therefore, expect it.

THE HAITIAN LABORERS PUBLICLY PROTEST ACTS NEW YORK, Jan. 12—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has announced receipt from Port an Prince, Haiti, of a protest against acts of the American Occupation, published by Haitian laborers, and news that Elouard Pouget, Editor of "La Triste Vie," the French Port an Prince had been arrested on the right of December 26, and, without trial, had been placed in soffary confinement. Among the signers of the laborers' protest are Perteval Thoby, former Attache of the Haitian Ministry in Washington, George J. Petit, Flavius Leon and Andre Zemor. The laborers protest against the state's policies in Haitian gourde. They charge that railway ties were recently imported from the United States depriving Haitian lumber workers of opportunity to labor; that English is being substituted for French, the national tongue, by the American administration; that prison and school labor is used to supply resident Americans with cheap commodities; that hard work brought by the government at prices already by the prejudices of Haitians; and that American industrial companies, under the present administration, are acquiring rights denied them herefore in Haiti.

DETROIT, Mich., Jan. 14—Claiming that the homeschool of Frederick Douglass, purchased two years ago by the National Association of Colored Women, is deteriorating for want of proper care, Mrs. Sallee W. Steward, set in motion the wheels of a steam-powered active shape February 15 of 1904 and continue for one year in the hope of raising a Mary B. Talbert Memorial Fund for the support of the Douglass Home. The fund has been named after the late Mrs. Talbert because in her last written letter she expressed the hope that the women and general public of America would co-operate with the men at Anacostia he preserved in a memorial beffitting to his significance to the Negroes of America. February 15 has been designated as Douhls Memorial day at which time the Mary B.

DEMOCRACY IS MUDDLED Associated Negro Press. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 14—There are some very significant political happenings in Washington, and they are not Republican. The Democrats are knotting up the "donkey's tail" in such a way that it seems next to impossible for it to be united in time for a united party in the elections of 1926. In fact, there are members of the House and Senate who have informed the Associated Negro Press that, in their opinion, the tail will be cut off before it is relieved of knotting, and henceforth, the Democrat donkey will be a bob-tailed animal. In other words, the element of Democrats from the South, and that is practically all of them, is being maintained their prestige—or is it notoriously on the Negro question, will either have to get another kpd of animal to carry them to the nation's capitol, or "fold their tents like the Arabs, and silently steal away." Senator Bruce of Maryland, Democrat, was the first to twist another knot in the little animal's tail. He dared to rise on the floor of the United States Senate and with his brawny arm of independence, make a twist that made Senator Pat Harman come to the rescue of the donkey substance, that the only reason that a lot of the fellows now in Congress are there is because they crawled in on the face problem and distrust chiselment. This from a Democrat was, indeed, "not stuff." Harrison said that it was unbecoming talk for a Democrat, and in fact Bruce is no Democrat. What did he say that for? Senator Bruce declared that he would take a young, stripping like Senator Pat, lifelong Democrat, and, as a matter of fact, he was a Democrat before Pat was born. Then comes Senator Dial of South Carolina, Democrat, who says that President Coulidge is a better Democrat than most of them. That not being enough, Senator Royal S. Copeland, of New York State, Democrat, comes forth to attack the mighty Governor Al Smith of New York. The only salvation for the Democratic party is the elimination of sectionalism, reprisals for past performances, infuries forgotten, facial and religious distinctions, wiped out, and party preferential preferment on more than New York. Like a good portion of this in the Democrats are actually stealing Republican thunder. They are using unusual tactics, and are putting the Republicans on their metal, if not on the defensive. in other words. Colored Americans are saying: "Well, what are we going to say about it; certainly we cannot speak against it; for the very things we believe in are being said by Democrats." But, the hole it is putting the Democrats of the South in, is so deep that it makes one dizzy to look down in it. Republicans are saying: "We're not going to be the goat, or be left out. We've said this all along, and we are in for a new day and a fair shake for all." All-Aboard for Gooqel Inauguration All is not now quiet on the Potomac. The old town is fluttering with anticipation about the approaching inauguration of the Honorable Caleb Fourth Day of March, coming at 10 a.m. the week. Wednesday, "The President has named the chairman of the local committee of arrangements and has given his consent for the lid to be taken off everything except the traditional inaugural ball. And to this he says, the people may have the ball, if they don't expect him. Washingtonians are saying that would be like "Hamlet without Hamlet." But it's going to be a grand occasion and there will be an old time Honorable William Howard Taft who inaugurated, and the people stood in slush several inches deep, have the good old Republicans been permitted to march down the famous Pennsylvania avenue with bands a playing and, colors a flying. It promises to be a wonderful time. Justices Taft and McKenna Close a Doe It may be well to make this statement here. P erhaps there was something prophetically significant in that Taft inaugural. It was the birth of segregation in the departments of Washington. It is believed that the inauguration of President Coolidge will be the death of it. This happened recently, as told to The Associated Negro Press by a member of Congress—one belonging to the new day of fair play. One of the justices of the United States Supreme Court had an opening for private secretary. He had in his employ a very efficient colored man, who held the title of messenger. He was practically functioning as secretary, but without the title he could get the salary. This justice desired, the colored man his secretary. They were two objections, according to the informant Chief Justice Taft and Justice McKenna, just retired. They objected to the precedent, it is stated, and feared that other racial citizens would seek to become secretary to Supreme Court justices. But, getting back to the inauguration, it looks as though colored America will have the largest representation ever present at such a time. Not only are they more prosperous than ever before, with enough automobiles to reach from here to Chicago but in a straight line, but they are also accorded their fair share of citizenship according to the people who know, and they are coming to the nation's capital to rejoice and lay plans. The average business man has a vocabulary of only 500 words. This why they call them men of few words. OUR THIRD YEAR OF SERVICE! We Want YOUR Savings Account based on Our Record of Service!

Bourbon South Still Opposing Higher Race Education Press News Service WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 14—The proverbial antipathy of the bourbon South toward higher education for Negroes constantly manifests itself and fomentably so in Congress. Rationale: University lost $185,000 of the proposed appropriation carried in the Department of Interior Bill, the institution is to receive a total of $221,000. At its first meeting of the session, the Senate last Tuesday night, after two hours consideration passed and sent to conference the Interior Department bill carrying approximately $239,700,000. It is the first of the annual supply bills to go to conference. Howard University Suffers In approving the Interior Bill, the Senate adopted all amendments submitted by the appropriation committee, except that relating to a proposal to appropriate $185,000 toward beginning construction of a $71,700,000 medical department building for Howard University. Senator Smoot Withdraws Item Senator Smoot, of Utah, in charge of the bill, with drew that item when he learned that Senator Overman of North Carolina, would submit a point of order against it. Senator Smoot conceded, the point would be well taken because the item had not been submitted by the bureau of the budget. Senate Restores $221,000 Item Although the building project was lost, the Senate, did, however, restore $221,000 of the Howard University's $406,000 appropriation which was eliminated on points of order by Southern Congressmen in the House of Representatives. There is no way to build a good item to be put into the bill, as the bill will have no power to deal with it. The amendment relating to appropriation for Howard University which was agreed to in the Senate follows: "For maintenance, to be used in payment of part of the salaries of the officers, professors, teachers and other regular employees of the university, to be stationary, the balance of which will be from donations and other sources of which sum not less than $220, shall be used for normal Instruction." $125,000 "For tools, material, salaries of instructors, and other necessary expenses of the department of manual arts, of which amount not to exceed $21,800 may be expended for personal services in the District of Columbia, $34,000. "Medical department: For part cost needed equipment, laboratory supplies, apparatus and repair of laboratories and buildings, $9,000. "For material and apparatus for chemical, physical, biological, and natural-history studies and use in laboratories of the science hall, including cases and the shelving, $5,000.

They were just about to leave when Wilson sneezed. Sergt. John Alzbeck heard the bark. He investigated and discovered from the Mrs. Wilson projecting from under the door. He then walked to a table and threw it over. There he boheld Wilson, who over wrapped himself around the top of the center leg of the table. The two evaders were quietly taken to jail on a charge of conducting a disorderly house. NEW YORK, Jan. 14.—The "postal wage war" enlisted another member in its ranks. Tuesday, when Judge F. A. Winslow accused the low scale of wages of the postal service as being responsible for maillers committing, thefts, and extortion from a sentence for stealing $44,000 in stamps. The defendants who had been in the service for a long time and who had families to support, were freed, because the judge considered them, "not criminals, but just victims of circumstance."

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Jan. 12— The gold n.e.t.a. costing 50.00 or more, given by the Madam C. J. Walker Manufacturing company, of this city, for the biggest service rendered to Colored Americans and their thoughts to the N. A. C. P. in 1924, has benn awarded to Mrs. Carrie L. Shepperson, Secretary of the Little Rock, Arkansas branch Through her efforts the branch was revived, and made an advance of about 12% in membership over the previous year and about 60% in cash donated to the National work. One scholarship is given for the greatest advance in cash, based on a contribution of at least $200 to the National office in the previous year. This scholarship for $100 is awarded to New York City, who gave $1695 in 1923 and $1510.45 in 1924, making an advance of 202.1%. Close competitors were Philadelphia, which advantaged from $1805.35 in 1923 to $5000.18 in 1924, or 176.9%; Detroit, which advantaged 117.3% and Kansas City, Missouri, which advantaged 116.3%. It is interesting to note that if you Little Rock, Ark., or Dayton, Ohio, had $200 to the work in 1923, New York City would have lost. For both these cities made a greater percentage of advance in 1924 over 1923 then did New York, but the others and contributed less than $200 in the previous year (1923), which disqualified them for winning this scholarship. The second scholarship for $75.00 is given to the Branch making the greatest advance in membership. Such branch must have contributed at least $100 to the National Work in the preceding year. This scholarship goes to New Orleans, whose membership advanced from 133 in 1923 to 349 in 1928 or 162.4%. Other competitions were Baltimore, advancing 113.7% and Philadelphia, whose membership advanced 45.5% Houston, Texas advanced its membership 25.6%. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 14.

See That Your Advertisement Appears In This Paper Negro Migration Dicussed By Secretary James J. Davis THE PEOPLE'S PAPER PART TWO WASHINGTON, Jan. 15 — James J. Davis, Secretary of the United States Department of Labor, in discussing some of the effects of Negro migration with Kurt F. Phillips, Commissioner of Conduct in the United States, the same hope that ample funds for education and training, without exception as to race or location, may soon be available in every state in the Union, in order that contentment and adequate preparedness may fully pervade the citizenship of all Americans, and that the nation contribute a full share to the advancement of America, the greatest and fairest nation in the world. The Secretary of Labor said: "We do not live in this country as a white race or as a black race, but rather, as full-fledged Americans, all under the same flag and the same constitution, all prepared to carry the burdens of our country, that all may share fully in its joys and its progress. The Negro migration of the past eight years has taught us the lesson of the double cost of educational neglect. These migrants, to whom a large measure of training in the university of America had not been previously available, though they rapidly adapted themselves to the new conditions Performers, Magazines, Schools And Such Like, Seen From Times Square Associated Negro Press. By J. A. (Billboard) Jackson NEW YORK, N. Y., Jan. 14—Last week, Florounpour Miller spent a day in New York, where he worked Wild' which he left for a few brief hours with his family as the show jumped from a New England stand to the Majestic theatre, Buffalo, where it opened a week's engagement on January 14, when he would look over a performance of a show in which he is interested as the author. Between acts, he discussed the work of the company with its star and stage manager. It happened that he urged to remain. This is part of what we heard: "Nothing but the best that is in everyone will do. If they can't work together, can't co-ordinate to give a satisfactory entertainment, then one who is more knowledgeable than people who are obustine, who place their personal preferences or dislikes above their work. You can't afford it, even if it should be your best friend. It is not your show, it is not your manager, nor yet mine. No, not the owner's show. It belongs to the public that pays for each performance. The rest of us are more instruments. When the public quita registering approval of the show at the box office, we are not the manager. A show can't live on reputation. Every performer and every performance must be the best. I wouldn't let my own brother get away from that standard in a show in which I concerned. I never told a lot. It explaining most vividly why the author and star of "Shuffle Along." "Runnin' Wild" and a number of preceding things has been a success. More Flournoy Miller types of mind will be developed in business and that goes for the whole business. Edward Johnson, known the show world over as "Black Carl," one time magician, but of late years connect with the show, remained in town when "Runin' Wild" resumed its road tour on Christmas day. He had been on the front with Miller and Lyles attractions for several years and was a regular at the formed Negro who has ever functioned in that manner. He has assumed the management of the Dressing Room Club. Already there is a very noticeable re-entry of our guest at the 101 street club house. Dropped by the Lincoln theatre on Saturday at matteine time and found the audience, jammed right back to the street doors enjoyment most thorny of the day and Wanda's Bombay Girl. It is remarkable how this show continues to draw. Drake certainly knows how to gage the desires of his audiences. Burned at the time that Mrs. Mary Downs, owner of the theater, was obliged to go under medical treatment for a nervous breakdown on New Year's day. While we are standing there cause leading up to it, Managing three big enterprises is job enough to say nothing of supervising the packing of tremendous sized and most unique Christmas gifts with her cares and holiday greetings. We have at least been able to see an approximately perfect Negro monthly magazine. The January issue contains a number of theatrical edition, has come to our desk. It is a work of art that will challenge comparison with any publication issued in America. It is 80 years old. The story of Negro progress, Chandler Owen and A. Phillip Randolph, its edition, have presented a generally illustrated journal with a dozen subjects that weach their write, including a story by "The Page." Other contributors are Otte H. Kahn, Alex Delp, Bertie O'Neill, and Robert O'Neill. of the industrial and community life to which they migrated, have themselves felt the effect of insufficient resources, have been severely taxed, not only in dollars and cents, but in the extinis strain upon their welfare forces and educational institutions, and the grants departed have felt the loss of man-power, which could have been more helpful, and contented had it been adequately prepared to meet standards of industry and education. "Such a policy would, I believe, result in a strong, sturdy, intelligent and contented citizenship—one which will be rewarded and which, when rewarded loyal to its homeland and its people, far beyond any desire to depart there from. The absolute person in our country has the absolute right to become a citizen of any section which he may choose; but, wherever he may be, it is much to be preferred that he shall be standardized. The resident standard. American industry and education. Then, he may labor and advance upon the same fair terms that are open to attendance to carry education and other obligations of preparedness, which should have been fulfilled elsewhere." Schuyler and J. A. Rogers. A significant thing about the issue, is that it contains a high percentage of expensive and artistic advertising and marketing without resorting to the black jack method of advertisement, soliciting that has usually prevailed in such special theatrical editions as have heretofore been offered to the public. The theater owners, St. outh theater owner, and Whitney and Tutt are subjects of special treatment and they richly deserve it, for they truly represent the Circuit, the theater and the performer, the audience. The innary Messenger marks an epoch in New York Journalism. Now comes Taukeegue, institute with the big declaration that the showman and performer awaits to be given more consideration in the seats of learning, in the center of the campus, in the achievement. Secretary Alben Hobsey, in a lengthy interview in the Billboard office recently set forth a plan for a pageant of historic history, that will be a feature at Taukeegue this winter. The episodes and the program will be planned by the dramatic director and their bearing upon Race history and value to our progress outlined to the students. The script will be available to other schools to the end that the Race performers will be encourage to work and become even better and more useful instruments of culture and harmony. It's a great move. Zona Gale "Bursting Bonds" Associated Negro Press Every public library should include a copy of "Bursting Bonds," the one written by the author of Shaves," which is the story of William Pickens. First, because every student of whatever age will be stimulated by this recital, of a boy's struggle, told in this straightforward and compact fashion, or we are still suffering from the world, so that the story of the conquest of a start has the still greater drama of the struggle as carried on by a Negro, id a land where defence to the social stigma of outrage In the first part of the book, "The Heir of Spades," there is the immoral and basic moment of the awakening of a mind within a body which is shaken by adverse conditions and is unable to line the march of the little boy through the southern schools, his arrival at a preparatory school with his seventy-five dollars and his other earnings, on no more than a half life, before the force. "You can have hope," his ultimate graduation from Yale University, with his Phi Beta Kappa key; his election as dean of one college; his career as a professor; and his career as a college cat of his people—all this in the stuff of life of whatever race. The simple fact that we are all more alike than we are different was never more in history like this taken into account or nationality of the world. And in the majority of them, too, will stand, shadowy, some figure who knew and who cared and encouraged; such a figure who lightly sketches in the person of his mother, Famille Porter Pickens. The second part, of the book is a grim commentary on the first, the commentary lies between the three. For having followed this last theme, we have narratives and trumphant years as he himself self-to take his part in the world, have next his playing that part against a prejudice not only cruel but provincial. We have the picture of William Pickens, Yale Graduate, who became president of a college with him, and Thomas Flak, Tennessee, Alsham and Troy verbatim a college teacher of Latin, Greek, German and Sociolog, an author of half a dozen important studies of his race, and above all as someone in his own astonishing ability and disconfidence in his writing on trains from one lecture assignment to another. ST.LOUIS.MO.,FRIDAY,JANUARY 16,1925 THE TOWER By ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS LOOKING ON AND LISTENING IN Associated Negro Press of the University of the Association Negro Press, a prediction was made that 1925 will be the year of Grund-Opuntion for Colored Ameri- cer. It was pointed out finally in detail that all the signs of the times in all the signs of active man- agement, and so might it be— so must it be. It is very evident that whiteness progress is made by the people of America. Colored people must do the same. It is important that their part; and in many matters there must be communicating interest. President Coulidge, in his December message to Congress, noted the significant pleasant feeling, a more cordial relationship between the two distinctive racial groups of America, and that this truth must be true, and upon this truth must the larger development go forward. The loud fact is this: There are more white Americans of standing—they willing to give Colored Americans a man's choice than have been given to them in military. They are going about it quietly, where quletude is satisfactory; and they are brilliantly audible when it is necessary for their voice to be heard. This is a very hopeful step. We are not going to hear here recounting the several causes for all of this, he said that it is a condition that the people must not lose sight of, for even one moment. In fact, those must be generous encouragement of this developing attitude of generosity and mutual toleration. To do, whatever will be done in 1925, the men and women now before the public will perform the largest amount of the work—and there will be new men and women who have made their appearances, prepared to take their place in the work of better adjustment. Some of those now active will drop out of the march, from weariness, displacement or decline. Some of the new ones will make their appearance in the workplace. Wise people are always looking for new leadership, development. "Making Little Men Big and Big Men Biger" is not a bad place, and only dangerous where people are too cowardly to stand the test of merit; cases are only one fitting to do; March On! There has been a Tower built by the Associated Negro Press, and there is a watchman in the tower. He is a man of honor. He has proved rudio equipment, he is listening in. He will fell the world what he sees and hears, he will call names, he will be fair, he will be kind, he will be some humour. He is hard without humor; there will be some surprise, no doubt, and there will be some warnings, when such are necessary. Tower will never miss. The season will never be one of fine weather, and the harvest good. Nordic "Superiority" Myth Given Knockout Blow Associated Negro Press. CHICAGO, Ill. Jan. 14—"The myth of Nordic superiority, cannot survive in Hawaii," sgill a white man who has but recently returned to America after years spent in the American island possessions of the Pacific. "I have seen my children, of pure Nordic strain, in competition with the orientals and mixed bloods of Hawaii, and lest I be thought prejudiced concerning the capacities of my own progeny. I have seen hundreds of other children, like strain in similar competition, from the non-Nordic youngsters kept them humping. in the school my children attended, there were 600 students, and the oriental enrollment was restricted to 10 per cent; yet it was quite leadership, the honors and prizes leadership, the honors and prizes going in numbers out of all proportion to children of Chinese or Japanese parentage, or of the mixed parents of island natives and orientals. "Residence in Hawaii is an education in international mindedness. It induces respect for the peoples of other races and colors. When I encounter America and find people talking about World superiority, and filled with prejudice against this and that racial again, I wish they might all have the opportunity which has come to me." I am on this statement. The Chicago Evening Plot says editorially: MY BUSINESS MOTTO I. never lose the common touch; never violated a confidence, be- treatful, friendly, a rewarding event- ing. Stayed happy even- ting What I have I. want what I pay for—I pay for what I get. My ballets—My religion in business, absolute honesty and frankness. Absolute independence—the right kind to buy where I can do the best. Best quality buyers are entitled to a price. Cooperation—Hair square, decent business relations is the foundation of all successful business. Every dollar invested in these Pet Shops, the best quality buyers will be Halfin and Annie Halfin. Neither of us ever was ill, never failed or ever collected Fire insurance. The Halfins have built, this business ever having in mind the Golden rule consideration for our trade in customers. We are filling in mind and practice our slogan. The National Pet Shops were founded on Honor and succeeded on merit. Merchandise and stock on hand, merchandise and stock thousand dollars ($2,000) on own money. Eleven happy, contented people are employed here, with steady jobs, reasonably fair pay and the right to advance and larger salaries, and the opportunity to hire them when their efforts warp. How the National Pet Shops Happened 1905—Halfin started a Dog Kennel. 1909—Purchased the St. Louis Dog Store that had taken over the American Pet Store. 1910 to 1915—Bought out several small Bird dealers—kennels, good will etc. 1915—Purchased outright the Missouri Poultry Squash Co., doing a large mall order business in pets and poutry. 1915—Purchased all the Holding Companies into one named it Haltin's Bird & Dog Store. And later on in the year, owing to our name conflicting and being similar to another dealer's name, we changed it to the National Pet Shops after assuring ourselves that no other firm in America was by any doubt ever used the name. We do not follow—we are not the kind that wear other collars. Gover fifty thousand dollars has been spent in advertising these various firms in America's leading magazines and papers. This business is not new, but it is unfolded. Friendliness is based on something material—not bumble and handshakes—nor flattery. It takes Gold to build a Gold Watch case—you can help construct it—but the basis must be gold—you can help a man to his feet with his own strength—if the structure is to remain substantial. SAY, FRIEND, PLEASE WASH YOUR HANDS Associated Negro Press CHIAGO, Ill. Jan. 14—Few people fully appreciate the value of one washing his hands, and often. It is not generally known that dirty hands cause more disease than many other people. Dr. Dorothy Becker, who says on the subject: "If a Health Officer should pick a hundred people off the street at random and examine the dirt from their hands, he undoubtedly would find a regular germ menagerie. "Germs of pneumonia, diphtheria and tuberculosis would be among the most common, the coccel and staphylococel would be represented. So would many other varieties of micro-organisms. "Dozens of times a day every act, the germs of his hands or passes germs from his own hands along to some one else. Fortunately most of these germs are killed quickly by contact with light and air and heat, but there is no other than many illnesses are due to carollesness. "Surgeons, knowing the danger of infection. Take every possible precaution against picking up germs. Occasionally even surgeons get careless and have to serve time in a hospital." "Hand to Mouth Habits" "Epidemics are believed to have much of their inception in the hand-to-mouth habits of the human animal. Towels, drinking cups, cigarettes and handshaking all play their parts in towels and drinking cups will be used, cigarettes will be passed wrong end to and handshaking will flourish despite reformers and warnings and sanitary education. You can't entirely protect yourself if you expect to roll along with it, but you can matter of fact, almost any form of infection is better now and then than a chronic case of "microphobia" or fear of germs. The worried, fearful, painful is more of a nuisance than the colon and other hiatus." "But you can, and should be careful." "Soap and water should be applied to the hands frequently during the day. Washing the hands is a habit that can easily be cultivated, you will wash them, whenever convenient, and you feel uncomfortable if they aren't clean all the time. And if you will keep up the practice of handwashing you will be unmistakable illiterate during the course of a year. "Washing your hands is for more important to your own health and TESKEGEE INSTITUTE. Ala.

Hail, Alburn, Alabama; successful applicants to Harper, Tuskegee, Alabama and Elizabeth Robinson, Chicago. As interesting and as significant as the fact that every student who took the examifier failed, is that applicants to Alburn can successfully graduate of Tuskegee Institute, and two have attended the Summer school for Teachers. WILLIAM MATTHEWS IS UNDERGOING TREATMENT Associated Negro Press, WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 14- William C. Matthews, Boston, who carried the burden of the organization during the recent campaign on friendship, has large group of friends, has been receiving treatment in h hospital recently for a throat affliction with which he has suffered for some time, and a measure of overweight. During his college training at Tuskegee, Exeter and Harvard, Matthews was one of "the few students who takes great pleasure in recounting to his friends some of his many experiences. But in recent years, Matthews has been so active in matters of state, that he has virtually neglected his personal health. Because of important matters now confronting him, Matthews pleads of a number of friends, and has been taking, treatment, which is proving most beneficial. In this connection it may be stated that Mr. Mathews, shortly following the campaign, was presented with a watch, fittingly inscribed by a group of friends headed by Melvin Chisum, of Washington. The presentation was made at an elaborate supper at the Broadway Central Hotel, New York City; and was attended by a large number of Boston admirers. Now, comics the Atlanta Independent, Hen. Benjamin Jefferson Davis, President and Editor, analyzing in a lengthy editorial the old and new political leadership under which racial Republicans have sailed for the last quarter century, and are now in the process of interest as one who knows "both sides of the subject." The Independent takes the position that the new is the old, and the old is the new, and therefore, according to a well known rule: "Things equal to the same things are equal to each other." Leaders are "born, not murdered," professors are "born, not pubesces, and from the continuation of the reasoning, it would appear that 'Who is What' in the political arena.'

Chicago will have no troubles - broadcast from Chicago direct to a waiting world, but it involves the leadership of Edward H. Wright; and his followers together with Oscar DePlesset and his followers. Both Wright and DePlesset have been politically active. Both have tremendous organized followings: Both are ambitious. In fact, all Chicago knows that if the Honorable Martin D. Madden should "drop out of the picture" as Congressman for the First Presidency, the world would be "between DePlesset and Wright." It may be that back of all the present conflict is a vision of a Congressional seat in Washington.

Dudglass was admitted into the Negro Mason order. He had remained on the plantation until that time and it was through the efforts of his former master that he became a Mason. He has been an native member of the lodge. Leaving the plantation he became a wanderer, but for 10 years before the outbreak of the Civil War he migrated over the Southern states.

The first time Mr. Dunglass heard it played was in 1872 and he tells of it in this manifold. "It was early in the fall, just before cotton picking time, and the old boat, the Katie Sweeney, where I was playing on, was anchored along the shore at Jefferson City, Mo. It was in the evening and everything came around me, meaning of some fruity shaves who were chained together and being sent back to their masters.

FitzZWATER, D.D., Dean of the University of Chicago) *Courtesy of Chicago* Lesson for January 18 LESSON TEXT - Luke 22:7-30. GOLDEN TEXT - This is My body remembrance of Me. - Luke 22:18. PRIMARY TOPIC - The Lord's Support SENIOR PHATH - AND SENIOR TOPIC The Meaning of the Communion Service. VOLUNGE PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC Communion With Jesus Christ. 1. The Passover Prepared (vv. 7-13). 1. The Disciples' Inquiry (vv. 7-9). They required of Jesus' as to where they should prepare for the Passover. They no doubt were anxious to be of service to Him. 2. The Master's Strange Directions (vv. 10-12). They were to go into the city where they would meet a man reserving water. He assured them that they would then be shown a large upper room furnished. 2. The Obedience of the Disciples (v. 14). Thus, that hot stop to question the sanity of the command but like true disciples obeyed, Jesus, because He is omniscient. Know just how the matter would turn out. II. The Passover Eaten (vv. 14-18). 1. By Whom (v. 14)? Those who sit down to this last Passover feast were the Master and the Twelve Angels. 2. His Words Until Then (cv. 15.18) (1) He have desired to eat this passover when you before I suffer." How anxious He was to show them the meaning of the passion through which He was to go; also He craved their human sympathy. He passed through this trying ordeal. (2) "I will not any more eat there, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God." His death was the antipied-fulfilment of the passover meal he looked forward to that time when the process of redemption would have been completed and a perfect union between the disciples and the Lord would be consummated. (3) "Take this cup and divide it among yourselves." The disciples were now partaking of that symbol of this blood. He assured them that He would not again doing of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God should come. Drinking away in the kingdom does not mean that in heaven this service will be renewed, but that this was symbol of the heavenly reality. 411. The Feast of the New Covenant instituted (vv. 19-20). This took place at the close of the painful supper. 1. The Bread, a Symbol of Christ's Body (v. 19). Christ giving of Himself to them. In order to get benefit from physical bread it is necessary to receive it. In order to get benefit from Christ one must receive Him. 2. The Cup, a Symbol of Christ's Blood (v. 20). This was symbolic of the atrium which was made by the shedding of His blood on the cross. He said: "This cup is the new testament in My blood which was shed for you, indicating that each one must personally accept the atrium made by the shedding of His blood. IV. The Wicked Behaviour at the Feast (vv. 21-27). 1. The Treachery of Judas (vy. 21-27). (1) The tibb of its manifestation (v. 21). It was while they were earthed the last passover that Jesus made the announcement of the betrayal. Perhaps the reason why this feast was disturbed by such an announcement was that Judas might be given an opportunity at this last moment to return. (2) The betrayal was by the determent counsel of God (v. 22—cf. Aes. 222). Nothing takes place by chance. Even the evil spirit acts of men whom within the germinal providence of God but this does not possess the guilt for Jesus says: "Were into the men by whom He is betrayed." (3) Spurred question (v. 23). The disciples did not seem to suspect one another but make the question a personal one. (4) Scottish Ambition of the Disciples (v. 21-23). In this tragic hour the disciples were so concerned with the thought of longable position that they were striving among themselves as to who should be greatest. V. The Apostles Place in the Kingdom (v. 125.30) He assures them that those who continue with illum in His trials shall be appointed into a place in the kingdom which will entitle them to eat and drink at His table and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Attitudes The "Reattitudes" and the "Doattitudes" are in the fifth chapter of Matthew—Echoes.

What is the racial bearing of the present Spanish troubles in Morocco? H. G. L., Kansas City, Mo. Spain is releasing her Moroccan protectorate under siege by the invasives. These people are African by race and Mohammedan by faith. If they were to establish an independent government, Europe fears that the fact of a black race whipping a White race and establishing independence will have a bad effect upon the controlled peoples of Asia and Africa. Therefore, France, England, Germany and Italy are anxious to talk to the Spanish protectorate over these people. Who was Queen Nefertiti? D. S. O. Dayton, Ohio. Nefertiti was a queen of Egypt of the Pharaoh Nefertiti, and her husband of Tutankhamen, present archologists consider her one of the most beautiful women of antiquity. She was of mixed blood and we accept her that used to be her sister, she was of a light-cold brown. She was a very reed woman and practically guiled girl along with her husband. Sometime ago you mentioned the founding of the Indian dynasty of Delhi by Negro soldiers. Who was the first ruler, D. A. B. Newark, N. J. The founder and first ruler was Gholi, an African and Negro. Was there such a African and African Masonry, K. C. Chicago, Il. Was you mean to ask if there was such a thing as a secret order corresponding with modern masonry, Yes Masonry, operative as well as speculative, had its beginning in Egypt. Today there are many secret societies throughout Africa and the remarkable thing about them is that no white man has ever been born unless his secret secrets. The object of Ancient Africa Masonry is too vast a matter to be handled in a few words. It would require a volume. Who was the first Negro elected to Congress? D. H. T. Washington, D. C. The first Negro elected to Congress was J. Willis Monet of the Second District of Louisiana. He was附ed to a job in vincence, and was duly附ed to a governor. But when he appeared before the House the members threw a fit. They allowed him to present his case, but turned him down on technicality. To prove its insincerity, it later allowed Monet the salary. The reason at that time was Republican, a major part of the value of insincerity lies by Negro companies in the United States? U: N. M. Nashville, Tenn. The amount is estimated at one hundred million dollars. Who was Terence?—B. B. L. Charleston. W. Va. Ghersonet was a Roman of African descent. He lived in the Second Century, B. C., and was a noted dramatist. His plays were derived chiefly from the Greek and were faultless in diction and quite near perfection. Was Nebuchadnezzar a Negro? T. J., Mariamia, Ark. Nebuchadnezzar was a king of Babylon, the capital, therefore a Negro. The original inhabitants of Babylon were black Cushites from Africa. Later other tribes of different races entered the Mosopotamian Valley, mixing with the inhabitants and this forming a newer type of Babylonian. While white authors Babylonians call them "resembles" this was used as a blanket term to avoid too much partializing. The man-made of ancient Septimus was nothing unded by a wall 69 hites long, 399 at high, 100 feet broad at the base id about 30 feet wide at the top. Was the signing place on Proclamation on Proclamation entirely a matter of Christian idealism? G. P. Gittsberg, Pa. It certainly was not. It was a matter of necessity. The north was using ground and the freedom of the slaves in order to make them soldiers became a matter of military necessity. While we do not wish to detract from Lincoln, remember that he once said in the course of a remark that if he could save the union without freezing the slaves, he could do so. He ultimately discovered that to save the union he must free the slaves and so he did. Read Horace Geeley's American Conflict which deals at length with the crisis quoting meetings, documents, etc. Who was Lafcadio Hearn and did he marry a woman—H. V. Wisconsin. Lafcadio C. Hearn was a writer of extraordinary power and is apparently coming into the limelight of modern literary study. His mother was a mixture of Greek, Moorish and Arab, and evidently rather dark. His father was a, very deep student and lover of ancient literature. The same was true of Hearn. He came to America and followed journalism with some success. While in Cincinnati he then married or lured with a co-star woman and as vactated large with colored. Later he went to New Orleans and there too, with the Creoles, writing about them and giving us some very and literature. Still later he be disguised with American presi THE OTHER DAY I WENT UP TO THE FIRST MAN WALKING ALONG THE STREET AND SAID 'HERE YOU ARE BROTHER HERE'S A FIVE DOLLAR BILL HE LOOKED AT ME AND WALKED AWAY I KNEW HE WOULDN'T TAKE THE PIVE-HE THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY-THAT SHOWS WHAT A PHILOSOPHER I AM. Hearn belonged to us and that he was a Negro. What people introduced the alphabet into Europe? - F. L. O. Boston. Tradition claims that Cadmus, a Phoenician, introduced the alphabet into Greece. Of late years there there been much discussion upon the subject and the study of languages and their relation is so, complex, that little can actually be determined. However, we know that the Phoenicians carried on trade very early with Greece and in all probabilities the alphabet was brought to Europe by them. Who was Isla?—G. S., Los Angeles Los Calif lsts was the wife of Osiris, the two being gods of ancient Egypt and supposed to have come from Punt of Ethiopia and settled in Egypt. According to the myths these two created the first people out of the black land of the Nile, lsts making the women and Osiris making the offen. Osiris was murdered by a brother, who took care of Egyptian it was then that lsts formed the first secret society known to history, the purpose being to overthrow the murderer and avenge her has land. Of what nationality was Abshag, mother of King, Solomon, and the apostle, St. Peter? G. W. T., Tarboro, N. C. The Hebrews were a people considerably mixed. Their color ranges all the way from fair to black and woolly hair. The Old Testament was particularly among the Jews of Palestine, the illustrations show the kings and prophets to have been rather colored. Black Jews, were common. In the Song of Solomon, which has been attributed to that utter, he calls himself black. We show of no description of Peter, the Apostle, but so many of the early Christians and church fathers were black that it would not be surprising if it was them. Was Sheba, the country from which came the queen who visited Solomon—B. H. G., Oberlin Ohio. Sheba was located in Southern Arabib and was a nation of blacks skin to the Ethiopians. Did Lincoln and Harding have Negro blood? W. L. H. Keokun, Iowa. Rumors to that effect that both Lincoln and Harding had colored blood have been current. During the war a German was arrested for publishing a book in which he claimed Lincoln was in a Negro. We all recollection has that the whispering galleries of Harding. Exact data is difficult to obtain, but from the treatment such claims have caused, one may retain their own outflow. I am writing a sidy held in Africa, do not know much about the country and the people. Would you kindly give me some information?—P. M. B. Omana, Nebr. Africa is one of the largest continents and contains many tribes and nations. Your request would demand a whole library to answer. Would advise you not to write about countries of which you know nothing. When did Paul Lawrence Dunbar die? A. B. V. Detroit, Mich. Dunbar was born at Dayton, Ohio, June 27, 1872, and died there February 8, 1906. Where and what was the 'temple of Philea' T. T. F. Charleston, W. Va. The Temple of Philea is considered the most beautiful of all Egyptian temples. It was quite small in com- parison to others, but really a work of art. It was located on an island of the Nile in Upper Egypt. What oracle of ancient times was it that a Negro woman was said to have found²* P. L. J. Troy, N. Y. The great oracle of Greese known as the Oracle of Delphin. Herodotia mentions the legchd and says that the woman was an Ethiopian. What language do the natives of Africa speak²* R. F. L. Dualth, Minn. Many. It is to be regretted that the American Negro has so little of Africa. Among the English speaking Africans there are scores of scholars who have been educated in France and in England and who are more highly educated than many of our own race here in America. Many of them speak from three to four ferent languages with conversant with others of learning. Get hold of some of the newspapers from West Africa in the United States and read them. Some years ago an African author had published a number of short stories that were better than anything our own have done. He wrote under the pen name of "Creeole." Preston News Service_ NEWARK, N. Y., Juh. 14. —The latest victim of the dropped pocket book game was Alicia McBride, who reported that he had been shuffled out of $85 and a watch valued at $60, by two men he had met in the central Railroad station in Broad Street. Grundt told the police that the men approached him, told him that they had just found a pocketbook containing $200, and offered to split the money with him if he could change the bill. He produced his money and watch as he went to the police. The pair dis- covered it and begged them that SHOWS WHATA DEEP THINKER DAN IS - BE JINGOES THINK AH IS GOIN' TO TRY THA SAME THING AND BE IN DANS GLASS Colorful News "Movies" By The Cameraman Healing The Sick Prairie News Service certain striking facts are revealed in the intuitively-released official report prepared for the U. S. Department of the Interior by Surgeon-in-Chief Warfield, of Friedman's Hospital, Washington, D. C., which is one of the most outstanding institutions of health in the country. Pristincted in the economy and of clearly demonstrated in the year's work of one hundred officers and aids who faithfully administered curatives to approximately 4,121 patients, suffering from everything from blepharopsy to appendicitis. When you stop to consider that graduate nurses worked for the princely salaries of sixty dollars a month that expert surgeons amputated at an extraordinary amount at an annual application of $1,200; and that the Surgeon-in-chief, himself, directed the great hospital for an annual income of $4,000—a sum which nearly every young physician can command at the end of his second year at practice—you must know that the Friedman's staff, from the on down, is imbued with spirits of the highest quality and it is no wonder that an unexpected balance of $4,778,631 was turned back to Congress. In closing his report, Dr. Warfield modestly requests a larger appropriation for the needs of Freedmen's purses, to which we would add a shinec "Amen" together with a lest prayer "Amen" together with the possessions may be available by Congress for the Surgeon-in-chief, blimsse, and his corps of faithful assistants. Fresher's Hospital is a child of the people, a crenature of Congress, and under governmental supervision. It is partially self-supporting and is one of the principal training grounds for the zero physical education program of the carry their professional wisdom into every state in the United. No alarm need be felt because of the fact that 1,350 of the 4,121 patients admitted last year came from the District of Columbia, which has no vote, no senator, and no representative in Congress. Freedmen's Hospital is an institution that should see to it that their representatives in Congress are kept informed about Freedmen's Hospital, and are accordingly encouraged to see that its financial diet contains a sufficient number of dollars and cents calories to keep everybody happy, as well as in good health. polia, which has had no represent- ceedmen's Hos- sity of all the and see to it that Congress are ceedmen's Hos- singly encourage- cional diet con- fer of dollars and keep everybody good health. **Wilmington Finance** When George Eastman president of the Eastman Kodak Company, imposed the stringent of his pulse and heart and hand and two million dollars and Tuskeguee, some curious person gave him the 'Why Why?' The donor's replies, sincerely stated, while not entirely pleasing from top to bottom, are indications of what heavy white financiers are thinking about when they open their safes to Nerre advancement: Said Mr. Eastman: "Almost the entire education of educators has thus far been devoted to the white race. But we have more than ten per cent Negro population in the United States. Most of these people are densely ignorant. They constitute what is known as the Negro problem. They must be made useful through education along these lines." We are no "cold water" to throw upon the two million dollar fund. We rejoice at every Negro carer, bricklayer, plasterer, steam filter and plumber that Hampton and Tuskegee, or Monksclear Polytechnic (white), for that matter may turn out, but we do not believe that if every Negro in America were to be equipped with a screwdriver, wrench or spade, that the Negro problem would lost its identity; for, as a matter of fact, no new types of industrial people would be mobilized. Negro people elsewhere educated or otherwise constitute what is known as the Negro problem, any more than do the Jews constitute a Jewish problem. The Negro problem is an inborn nexus in the minds of a group, which does not believe entirely in a doctrine of "Peace on Earth—Good will towards Men." Human problems are not like quartz, which is taken by force from the rocks and rills. Human problems are made by human beings, righteous or unrighteous, a case may be that the problem is an unrighteous parent of Supremacy and Prejudice. No, the spade nor the hoe will solve it. For during its processes, we need linguists to talk to linguists; mathematicians to figure against mathematicians; chemists to vie with chemists; and preachers to preach the Love of God. And we need donations for Howard, Flick and Wiley. And we need continued matriculations of Negro students at America's leading colleges and universities. Then we can better help to solve the vexations "problem." White Man's World Changes Fourteen of the statistics figures What Women Write About Madam C. J.

Then a movement was fostered and encouraged in this country to cause blacks to emigrate to the country south of the Sahara, in the hope that their advancement would not be a world advancement, but rather, would move towards a center which would be easily controlled by commercial giants of the great white world. Finally, the thought of, white supremacy, with a secret attempt to read out of the so-called group of "purists" several races which were of an origin decidedly apart from the Nordics, European socialists, and others who believed in the commercial supremacy of Europe, first, and racial supremacy, last, were very loath to lend a friendly ear to an project which might still the purpose and financial progress of that great area to the attention, with a final destination of darker peoples, failed to catch the spirit of being the "monkey on the string" in any world plan of supremists, and the result has been the white world has had to change its geographical limits and make a gesture to some people who, in the beginning, were considered highly undesirable, except for the purposes of exploitation. Strict lines have been erased, and the ones being graciously placed to contain people learned sociolinguistic knowledge placed in the ranks of darker races. The result of the new racial equations is plainly apparent. It's just like geometry. A equus B and C equus B. Therefore, A equus C, and no one can forecast when the plus or minus will be in order. World white supremacy and all other supremacy, based upon color or race, is on the rocks, which is the proper place for such selfish ideal receive is conscience of our virtuous actions past." It was later recorded in the an- nex volume, and the same sensor began, the New Year by the end of 1982. saying: "Whatever others may do, however, let us as Democrats determine to deserve and win renewal of dence in our party by developing broad and active statesmaness which will be approved by the judgment of the people. If we cannot do that, if it is not to do to devise wise and orderly measures for improvement of agricultural conditions, for definition of our foreign relations, and for righting some obvious wrongs now existing, let us at least refrain from obstructing legislation promising to be helpful whereever it originates. Clearly, clear ourselves of the country's progress and business interests." Though the conscientious remarks above quoted were later stricken from the record after the pressure of other soffits from the Southland, who excepted to such a sincerely-made reproof of the party of Jefferson Davis, they cannot be removed from the minds of men that obvious wrongs have existed and do not happen, but only in South Caro, but wherever "one group is" engaged in the pastime job of stifling the rights, hopes, ambitions and progress of fouther and weaker group. It would serve no constructive purpose to recount the "virtuous actions past" of South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi or Tennessee in such matters, where the Negro group is concerned, as lynching, disfranchisement, meager funds for education, and a host of oblivious wrongs securely enfolded. In a program which would elevate one group on the backs of another, it would not be especially illuminating to recall the preoccupation of the striking of Howard University appropriations from a South Carolina source. It would not quicken the conscience of any sympathetic offender who silently approves unsanitary home districts for one group as against the chance selfishly reserved for another group to rise beyond such a habitat. None of these would stimulate a anuffled conscience. But, when a man, in his own mind, and apart from influence, reviews the "virtuous past" and "unletterly fares his country with a new conscience, and calls upon his country to right the "obvious wrongs how existing." it is time to rejoice and thank God for so honest a confession. It far transcends the tale of the ninety and nine, who were saved. but for whom there was no rejoicing until the one that was lost was safely enfolded in the bosom of the Master. Youth! Where is Thy "Sting!"— "Fond Youth, Fair Youth, Blithe Youth, has absorbed too much of the jazz, spirit and too little of the softer, serious problems which confront us individually and as a race, a mature business man, whose balance in the bank runs into five figures and whose reputation as an organizer and promoter of Negro business is nation-wide. "But," said I. "Youth must sing and play and be happy, for in Negro life the seven fat years are as a day, but the seven lean years after maturity, are as ten thousand nights." "I know all about 'that', replied the business man, as he carefully sharpened a lead nail, "and I don't wish to appear gloomy; but Youth seems to have lost its 'sting.' Youth is erasing from his and her vocabulary the valuable requilles of Application. Concentration and Efficiency, which all too frequently are giving away to Pleasure, Carelessness and Evasion. Doing the 'Charleston' or hanking the ball on a pool table are exhausting time which might be more profitably given to mastering practical English: late hours are killing efficient study; and 'something just as good' is being continually offered by Youth for the real thing" continued the 'business man defected. "Well," said I. with a laugh. "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." "Wek." replied Big Business; but Youth has placed both in the melting pot of life, and each is now accounted for. "I am glad," he continued. "that Youth doesnt have to walk four miles to school, study by candle light, go to bed at eight o'clock and be up at six; nor am I so particular as to Youth's knowledge of quadratic equations. Boyle's Law, or Marsh's test for arsenic poisoning; but would be more hopeful if youth would add a column of cases accurately, punctate with precision and stop, look and see whether he was performing his services correctly than in jazz time. If you Mr. Cameraman," he said, he was turned away. "Youth doesn't even keep on speaking terms with 'Concentration' any more, and Youth elings fast to the idea of never doing today that which can be put off "Big Business was right—if Youth has at least his 'sting' then it's been anna'elizalized," I sighed gloomily, as the stenographer asked for half a day off, to attend a matinee dance. "Scrapping" a Good Old Machine—Up in Downeast, first State of the Union, as small as the palm of your hand, but as strong as steel, the sentiments of the wonder poet, Grey, who once wrote: "Let not Ambition mock their useful toll: They remain true and destiny fur single. "The short and simple annals of the poor," are being given life. In Deleware, it seems that a good old machine is about to be "scrapped" by Ambition, and that its useful toll is resting upon some solid TNT. A stamina cog in the famous Delaware political machine of years' duration has yielded to the call of Ambition and would, so we are told, trade in the placements, and the privileges of race men to practice law, for political patronage in Washington. On the other hand, another cog in the same political wheel, a candidate for election to the State' Legislature last year and promoter of fulsome activities booking to great effect, was defeated after sufferance a preliminary rebuff last October, only to repledge himself to a constructive, is being marked for the sacrifice on Ambition's altar. The whole project resembles a poker game, in which the "brethren" have been "blued". In fact, thoughtful Delaware Negroes, have plausibly stated that the farm for a delinite consumption of a delinite program for better schools, cheaper rent, service, on juries, and the right to practice law, than to have a Recorder of Deeds or Register of the Treasury, and be considered as having been "paid-off". The former program, they say, is the one to which they were placed in the Wagner district period, and now, they say, to have one of their number bite at the possibility of a Federal appointment, looks like spilling the beans en masse. Turn around boys, and "scrap" the "scraper".
