An Exponent Of Truth and Justice A Square Deal For Every Man NEGRO VETS FEATURE IN POPPY SALE 23 Posts Made Record Number Of Best 1924 Blooms. Returns From Decoration Day Sale Go For Relief. WASHINGTON, D. C. May 27. Among the most ardent workers in making preparations for the annual "buddy" poppy sale, which is to be held throughout the country. Decoration Day, have been twenty three colorful posts of the American Foreign War. The colored posts, which are located in all parts of the country, are named after war heroes, who lost their lives in the service. Praises. Negro Vets. "Smiling Through." That is the spirit in which the scores of disabled and needy ex-service men—crippled heroes of Chateau Thierry and the Argonne, of St. Milhul and Verdun, make the thousands of buddy poppies for the national poppy sale," said R. B. Handy, chairman of the National Poppy Committee. In referring to the work of the colored vets. Handy declared: "I cannot recommend too highly the spirit and enthusiasm of the colored posts of the organization." "Last year our colored posts went over the top with a record poppy sales which was noteworthy, and I feel sure that from present indications, their results this year will be even better. Not only are the members of the posts giving generously of their time and effort to further the success of the buddy poppy plan and to reach as great a field as possible with the appeal of the scarlet memorial blossoms, but also, some of our best poppy makers are colored ex-soldier men. We all recall with pride the distinction which the valor and courage of the buddy poppy men in war veterans of these war veterans members of V. F. W. posts on behalf of the buddy poppy sale, designed as it is, as a tribute to the soldier-dead and a means of secur for the living war victims, deserves equal commentation. Coolidge Speaks "The annual sale of poppies marry disabled and needy ex-service men throughout the country, under the auspices of the Veterans of Foreign Wars," said President Coolidge, in expressing to Gen. John H. Dunn, commander-in-chief of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, his warm accord with the buddy poppy plan, with the message to me particularly appealing in the moment of regard for an interest in the disabled ex-service men. It is calculated to perpetuate the fine sentiments which have made the poppy so particularly symbolic of the services and the sacrifices of the men who gave so much, that freedom might survive in the world." Gives Vets Support All the baddy poppies used in the V. F. W. sale are made by disabled and needy veterans, and the entire proceeds are devoted to relief work of 'war disabled and to meet conditions of distress among ex-service men and their families occasioned by sickness or unemployment. Many of the poppy makers, disabled through the ravages of the world's greatest conflict, are men unable to be rehabilitated by the Veterans' Bureau because their disability was not contemplated by the war risk vocational training laws when passed and are designated by the Government as "non-feasible." To these men in particular the poppy making not only offers a means of livelihood, which the majority of them, because of their crippled condition, would be helpless to earn in their former occupations, but in addition, helps to renew 'self-confidence and to rebuild their morale. The majority of poppies for the national sale are being made in Boston, Mass, where in a specially equipped V. F. W. poppy factory and in the United States Veterans' Hospital 44, a force of veterans is actively adding hundreds of poppies daily to the 2,500,000 quotes they have set for themselves. In a number of states, however, the blossoms for the local sale are being made within the State by the State's own war veteran son. The buddy poppy label, which is on every flower, has been formally registered by the Veterans of Foreign Wars with the United States Patent, Office to prevent any infringement upon it and to guarantee to the public the actual manufacture of the poppies by disabled and needy ex-service men. "Buddy Poppy" is the name the men themselves selected for the flower. DENVER.

St. Louis Argus FINDS RACES SEEK A MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING Enlightened Self Interest Is Playing Large Part In Modification Of Southern White Sentiment. CHICAGO, Ill., May 27. The Interracial Commission held in Atlanta, Georgia, recently has come nearer to bringing a mutual understanding between the colored and white man of the south than any other endeavor that has ever been attempted, according to Caroll Blinder, widely known correspondent for the Chicago Daily News. The Chicago news correspondent, who has been making an extensive study of Race Problems in the south, and who is at present engaged in writing a series of articles on the subject for his paper, stated that through his observations at the Interracial Commission he found that an enlightened self interest was playing a large part in the modification of southern white sentiment on the race question. Show Sincerity Binder expressed himself as being impressed with the idealistic spirit manifested at the meeting by both southern white and Negro partisans. He felt that both were sincerely desirous of better conditions and stronger co-operation, and that they were possessed with a real determination to overcome old evils that had caused so much bitterness and hatred among the races in the south. "There was a feeling that the white south had in the past shown an unchristian spirit to the Negro, and there was a manifest desire to bring about a spirit of brotherhood between the two races." Binder declared, "its idealism has not yet been among the southerners of other race, however." Binder emphasized to bring out the fact that the Inter-racial Commission was truly the high tide of southern sentiment. Affected by Migration Race prejudice is still very strong among both whites and Negroes. The "cracker" or poor white still carries a chip on his shoulder, dischordment of which in many instances makes him each for his gun. But the black community both city and rural: had a change of heart as a result of migration. "From all parts of the South come reports of an improved condition, for the Negro in the way of schools, health, protection, housing, justice in the courts, and relief from lawless acts made possible largely because the whites, realize it is to their interest to make life in the South less burdensome to the Negroes." The correspondent relieves the minds of thousands of Negroes when he says: "Leaders of the inter-racial commission firmly refuse to advise the Negroes to remain in the South. Its program is in the direction of making the South a desirable and friendly place for both white and colored races." Editor and Wife Accused By Klan Released On Bail LOS. ANGELES, Calif.

Other subjects during the three days were the church and the community, social case work, publicity, recreation, health, protective work by police-women, new programs in community welfare, children, and the annual meeting of the Community Council. Mrs. E. H. Steedman was chosen president of the Community Council to succeed Judge Thomas C. Hennings: Raymond F. McXpyl, vice president of the National bank of Commerce, first vice president, William C. Tompkins, auditor, First National Bank, second vice president; Charles S. Stitt, State Company; charterer; and Soft R. Dekker, secretary of the Sales Managers Bureau, Chamber of Commerce, secretary. The popularity cup was awarded at the close of the Conference to the Board of Religious Organizations, which received the highest number of votes for attendance during the three days balloting. The sessions were held at the Statler Hotel. One of the outstanding features of the program of the evening was the address by Dr. George Cleveland Hall of Chicago, who is a member of the Illinois Commission on Race Relations. Dr. Hall stressed the Golden Rule as a good rule in the conducting of human affairs. He said in part: "One does not need to be accused of extravagant hopefulness to have faith in the ultimate settlement of our social problems when he hears the increasing call 'Come, let us reason together,' that individual, or group, or community has had a new birth when it realizes its obligation to its fellow man. "By bringing men together we reconcile them. The moment mankind understands one another they will be at peace. In order to secure mutual acquaintance social committees must be multiplied, social sympathies quickened, which is exactly the business of one interracial meetings. I would suggest the Golden Rule, which is as good a rule of human conduct today as it was 2,000 years ago. The propriety and excellence of the command: do unto others as you would have them do unto you', approves itself immediately to the reason of all the rule is founded on the common nature of mankind. All have similar wants to be supplied, feelings to be consulted, infirmities to be overlooked, all are capable of happiness and especially desire it, all are exposed to danger and to suffering. It is not our ourselves who have made us what we are and caused us to differ. We owe it to the appointment of God and to the courses of His providence, that our condition is as it is; and had He chosen, we might have stood in, the place of any around us. Whatever be our condition, we stand not isolated and alone. Our happiness depends on that. We stand in thousand ways, we continually need their protection, support and aid. The dispositions of providence and natural elvishitudes of time are introducing changes into our situation; and we may soon stand in the same relation of dependence, another, in which they now stand to us. There is no individual so low in the world whose kindness may not arise, time hereafter be of importance to us; whose aid may not be necessary; whose good opinion may not be valuable, who may not have it in his power to benefit or injure us. So it is the dictate of prudence as well as religion to 'do unto others as we would have others do unto us.' Dr. Hall's talk was pregnant with logic and reason and made a deep impression on his hearters. Among the other features were: a solo by Mrs. Zell Colf Corneal, violin selection by Miss Grisela Corneal, and musical numbers by the Young Ladies Glee Club. Prof. Jas. L. Usher and Mr. H. K. Craft spoke on the community needs. Associated Negro Press CAPE TOWN N.PA.

I am more powerful than the combined armies of the world. I have destroyed more men than all the wars of nations. I am more deadly than bullets, and I have wrecked more homes than the mightiest of siege guns. I steal, in the United States alone, over $200,000,000 each year. I spare no one, and I find my vices among the rich and poor, alike the young and the old, the strong and the weak. Widows and orphans know me. I boom up to such proportions that I cast my shadow over every field of labor, from the turning of the grind-stone to the moving of every railroad train. I massacre thousands upon thousands of wage earners in 40 year. I am everywhere in the home, on the street, in the factory, at railroad crossings and on the sea. I bring slimness, degradation and death, and yet few seek to avoid me. I destroy, crush or main. I give nothing, but take all. The Kewpies hold their second meeting at the residence of Miss Josephine Turner.

Current Events Well, auntie, I am trying to hurry on ammunition. I can get out in the open and enjoy myself. Where are you going now, Mabel? I am planning to attend the ball game Saturday at the Stars' Park. I do enjoy the games, auntie. You ought to see the team in action. You will enjoy the games, Mabel. I was on her day Smith's the other day, when her band returned from a ball game, and I heard him talk about was the Cardinals and Brown's. I suppose they are the white baseball teams, are they not, Mabel? Yes auntie, they are, but I am sure if matched skill against skill of a good a game as the Cardinals or Brown's the stars will play just as good of our people seem so crazy. Then when the date, I am told by my young friend, Mrs. the colored patrons of the Brown Park are discriminated against and are denied the best seats. I never heard Mr. Smith say anything of the discrimination, Mabel. Of course, you know he is a business man and is head of a large business in the city and I suppose for that reason he was ashamed to mention that. But I did hear him say, that "Yes, I married a spiritualist." "How are you getting along?" "Medium." "I hear they are going to vaccinate the entire police force of Chicago." "I don't see what they want to do that for, a policeman never catches anything." "We had a big wooden wedding over at our house." "How was that." "My sister married a blockhead." "Do you know that my sister is a duchess now?" "No. How did she come to be a duchess?" "She married a Dutchman." I desire to become a member of the Argus Kewa Club.

I know Dr. West and I am told that he is another of the kind who is unable to see anything good in his people, other than their patronage. You are quite right in your criticism of these men, Mabel. Baseball is a National Sport. There are only a few persons who do not enjoy the game. The men who have provided this support for our people, deserve our support, have been thinking for some time, that I will play games in the future. Tell me, Mabel, who are they to play Decoration Day? They are to play against the Detroit Stars. auntie. You know, the Detroit club is now leading the league and a most interesting series of five games is expected. Come out, auntie and see the game Saturday. I think the St. Louis Stars have such a fine team. There are Bobo, Redus, Murray, Creasy, Bell—and let me see, I have forgotten the others. You should see them. Well Mabel, I will go. I am glad you have consented, auntie. I will ask Fred to secure box seats for us. There is no discrimination at the Stars' Park. We can get seats anywhere, if we have the price. Good-bye, auntie. Good-bye, Mabel. Annual Guide Right Campaign Held By Kappas CONTINUED FROM LAGE ONE and used it as the basis of his interview.

Coming practically unheralded, this combination of players has proved to be one of the best entertainers on the circuit and should finish the week's engagement with record-breaking crowds. The music, instrumental and vocal is above the average. This is enhanced by their own jazz orchestra, which occupies the pit and opens the show with a special number featuring drummer Herbert Cowen in jazz lingerie eccentrics. The production is a musical comedy with the theme based on a song composer, whose brain has become sterile, and is looking for an inspiration. He goes to sleep on a park bench and the incidents that follow are only his dream. The curtain then rises on a chorus of girls with lively melodies and dances. "Daybreak" Nelson and "Dusty Frank" Tanzil, the comedians appear as having escaped from an accidental ship explosion. After some comics the: Lang and do eccentric back dancing. The next scene is "The Land of Jazz" and Bixon, as the ship's captain, meets "Music," interpreted by Helen Meadows. Their song number is "Yes, Yes in Your Eyes," supported by chorus of girls. Wilfie Oglesby sings "Eliza" and does some fancy acrobatic dancing. Mabel Johnson and the girls sing and dance "Red Hot Mamma." "Daybreak and Dusty sing" "Footsteps" and pull off some comedy in front of "Harmony Castle." Dusty meets "Inspiration." Miss Bernice Wilson and their song "How Long," goes over big. Mabel Johnson appears as a dancing girl. Daybreak tries his luck and summons "Blues," Leoma Mack, whom he spurs. Baby Mack the juvenile performer, makes a hit with her songs and dances. Leoma Mack sings the blues and the dream is closed with humorous doings by the comedians and dancing by Ernestine. The finale is "Land Of Jazz," the composer's inspiration, presented by the entire company. The engagement will close Sunday night. There will be special matinees on Decoration Day, Saturday and Sunday at 2:30. Bob Russell's Musical Comedy company, headed by Billiken Grimes, will return to the Booker Washington Theatre next week, beginning Monday, with an entirely new show, new costumes and new special scenery. This aggregation of players and their jazz band will the praise of the B. W. audences last week and the reputation of Producer Russell for resourcefulness is assurance that next week's show will be a big entertainer. The company is one of the largest on the road. "Pay Days" are to be resumed at the Booker Washington in the near future. JIM CROW AT PALACE The Palace Theatre has reopened on Franklin avenue as a picture house and colored patrons are being "Jim Crowed" into the balcony. Strange to say, there are a few of the unthoughtful who are failing for the discrimination in spite of the fact that the best productions on the screen can be seen elsewhere with respectable accommodations. THE COMET One of the biggest spectacular film productions of recent months will be presented at the Comet Theatre this Saturday and Sunday when Douglas Fairbanks will be shown in "The Thief of Bagdad." This picture has been acclaimed as being "The Royal Banquet of Film Entertainment." "The Thief of Bagdad" is an amazingly romantic and dramatic story, abounding in happenings, heretofore thought impossible of achievement, and told with enchanting charm. It was born of a poet's dream in Araby and developed by Douglas Fairbanks into a beautiful reality. "Nothing like it has ever been attempted; nothing like it has ever been accomplished. Before, your very eyes the Magic Carpet bears the lovers over the house-tops and into the clouds, a Winged Horse carries the Thief in a dashing flight through the air, a great Army is created out of nothingness by the scattering of a Magic Seed. It is said to be a treasure-house of almost unbelievable wonders! "Cornered" will be the feature on Monday. Cullen Landis and Doris Kenyon are leaders in the cast of "Born Rich" on Tuesday. "Troubles of a Bride" will be the Wednesday feature. Gloria Swanson will be seen in "Madame Sans Gene" on Thursday and Friday. It is based on the French stage success by Victorien Sardou and Emile Moreau and has to do with a flirtatious little French laundress, who becomes a Duchess and a power behind the throne, of France in the days of Napoleon. Charles de Roche heads the supporting cast. THE RETINA The Retina Skydome is being prepared for an opening as soon as the weather will permit. Pictures will be shown simultaneously in the outside and inside theatres. Bob Custer, the daring cowboy will be seen in "Galloping Vengeance" at the theatre this Sunday. It is a hair raising, western drama. THE STAR "The Chorns Lady" will be the feature at the Star theatre this Saturday. The action concerns the life of the stage and race track, and for its background it has a beautiful story of love and sacrifice. It is teeming with real thrills, including an exciting horse race, a stirring rescue and a devastating fire in the Reed Howes and Ethel Shannon in "Lightning Romance THE RETINA SKYDOME THE RETINA SKYDOME MARKET STREET'S Most Convenient Cool And Comfortable OPEN AIR THEATRE Operated In Connection With Market St.'s Pioneer Playhouse AT TWENTIETH STREET WILL OPEN Soon As The Weather Conditions Warrant It SPECIAL ATTRACTION SUNDAY MAY 31 BOB CUSTER The Daring Cowboy In: "Galloping Vengeance" A Hair Raising Western Drama Admission Always AT BOTH THE Theatre and Skydome 10c and 5c STAF SATURDAY Memor Serve from THE CHORUS LADY TUESDAY Reed Howes and "Lightning THE ST.LOUIS ARGUS; FRIDAY, MAY 29, 1925 MARKET STREET'S BEST- COMET THEATRE AT 21ST ST.

Jack Hoxie in "A Roaring Adventure" will be the Sunday special. It is a story of desperate adventure and of the love that comes to a young man from the cast who risks his life to bring to justice the foreman of his father's cattle ranch, suspected of being head of a band of cattle rustlers. Hoxie is supported by a cast of well known screen performers, including Mary McAllister. Yakima Canutt will be seen in "The Riding Comet" on Monday; and Red Howes in "Lightning Romance" on Tuesday. The double program on Wednesday will have William Desmond in "The Burning Trail," and the first episode of "The Pacemakers," a sensational series of modern college life and fighting America. Laura La Plante and Eugene O'Brien are the stars in "Dangerous Innocence," the attraction for next Thursday, and Friday. It is a fascinating story of a young girl's first love affair with an unusual feature in that her mother is her rival. Its big thrill scene of a fire, and panic aboard a large passenger steamer in mid-ocean is one of the best hits in this line that has ever been offered. THE JESTAMERE Viola Dana in "Along Came Ruth" will be the Jestamere Theatre feature this Saturday. Colleen "Moore, with Leon "Errol and Lloyd Hughes, will be seen in "Sally" on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. It is a film adaptation of one of the most successful musical comedies ever staged. It was an original Ziegfeld hit, with Marilyn Miller as the star. For more than seventy weeks "Sally" ran continuously on Broadway; then it took to the road scoring in Chicago and eventually toured Philadelphia, eventually toured the entire country; it also played one solid year in London, in "Sally." Colleen Moore makes this whimsome child of destiny live upon the screen with all the fire pathos and charm that marked "Sally's length stage life." Helene Chadwick in "Her Own Free Will" will be the Wednesday special, "A Broadway Butterfly" will be presented next Thursday and Friday. It is, in brief, the story of a shy little slip of a girl, who comes to Broadway to garner the laurels and glory of a stage career. To her unsophisticated eyes, the whole panorama of life is beautiful and wet land of happiness, but when she faces reality behind the painted scenes of the white lights, all is not what it seems. The cast is composed of Louise Fazenda, Dorothy Devore, Willard Lounil, Cullen Landis, Lilyan Tashman, John Roche and Wilfred Lucas. THE CRITERION Constance Talmadge will be presented in "Her Night of Romance," at the Criterion Theatre this Saturday. The big attraction for Sunday and Monday will be "The Thief of Bagdad". No picture produced since the beginning of the moving picture industry has at all approached the sensation achieved by Douglas Fairbanks and his company, Famous Fashion. Some of the outstanding features of this extraordinary production are: The Magic Carpet that sails across the house-lamps. The Undersea City of Crystal where sirens dwell. The Forest of Enchanted Trees, The Cloak of Invisibility, The Winged Horse that files up to and through the clouds, the Living Dragon in the Valley of Monsters. This marvelous picture is the greatest picture, but as a production that steps so far out of the beaten path that critics speak of it as "the creation of a new art." Norma Talmadge will be featured in "The Lady" next Thursday. It tells of a wife who is robbed of her husband by an adventurer, and who is later left alone in the world with her baby after her husband's death. Declared to be "an unfit mother," she then has her baby taken from her. Years pass, the World War comes, and she again meets her boy in circumstances of a most dramatic and tragic nature. THE VENUS Betty Compson in "New Lives for Old" will be the feature at the Venus Theatre this Saturday. There will also be four acts of vaudeville on the program. Pauline Frederick and Laura La Plante will be seen in "Smouldering Fires," on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Miss Frederick has the part of a middle-aged woman who falls in with a youthful employee of the factory. She is a mother and there are married and in brief time the woman realizing that her husband and her young sister are in love with each other. The story ends with a dramatic solution by the wife of the tracedy that has come into her life, so long devoted exclusively to the management of the business left to her. The story is an intensely vivid one of the usual situation in real life, and is considered a sensational expose of a certain phase of the divorce evil.

(Florida Whites) In The Field Of Athletics From way out in the "golden west" comes word of the marvelous feats of Wesley Foster, a colored high school boy of Wendelgate High School of Washington, who broke a world's record, and carried away the honor of being the highest individual point scorer in the Washington State Inter-Scholastic meet. Foster not only spelled down the track for first place in the 100, 100 and 220 yard dashes, but he smashed one world's interscholastic record and equalled another. His time of 5.3 seconds in the 50-yard dash, knocked three-tenths of a second off the record set by E. C. Jessup in St. Louis, in 1991. It is chained that Foster ran the 50-yard dash in 5.1 seconds in a recent meet, breaking the world's record of 5.2 which was equalled by DeHart Hulbard several weeks ago. In the 100 yard dash, Foster's time 0.8 seconds ried the interscholastic mark set by Ernest E. Nelson of the Volkmann School, made in Cambridge May, 1908. In the 220. Foster's time was 21.7 seconds, a new state record, coming within three-tenths of a second of the national record of 21.4 seconds. The 'colored boy's performance was the most remarkable in the history of the sport, and helegitate track meet in this country. Foster garnered a $2, total of 12 points and needless to say his school won the state championship. We will watch Foster, for some day he may be American's greatest track star. ball.

Memphis started off as though they would make it three straight scores five runs in the first four innings, but St. Louis kept pecking away at the slants of Tyler until they come from behind in the eighth inning, winning out in the tenth innings by scoring four runs. The second game, which was called at six o'clock, by agreement to allow St. Louis to catch a train to Birmingham went only six innings and was a pitcher's battle between Davis for St. Louis, who was driven out of the box in the first game, and Moore for Memphis.

HERRING Aggie Hensley was the victim of another 1 to 0 game Friday, at Memphis, with the same pitcher opposing him that beat him a 1 to 0 game here. (Spearman). Saturday, the Stars dropped their SPORT-O-GRAPHS By ASHBY CARTER For The Associated Negro Press. WILL HE DO IT? The question is being asked by followers of the Track and Field "Will Delfart Hubbard break the broad jump record or the dash record? Twice this year, we have seen the Michigan speed-how and human kangaroo tie the world's record for the 100 yard dash. He has been beaten but once in the running broad jump, and then by Bill Dowding of Georgetown on a slippery water-soaked field. Just last Saturday, Hubbard took the broad jump in the dual meet between Michigan and Illinois. He says that he is participating in the sprints more than before because he believes that such activity will help him realize his ambition to establish a new world's broad jumping record. He has been roundly criticized by some writers for failure to stick to his former specialty. But now it seems that the program that he has set for himself will aid him to realize that supreme ambition. Defiant qwes his remarkable spring to his wonderful speed in his getaway. By developing his speed he will better his chance of establishing a broad jump mark that will stand for many years to come. Incidentally, he may hang up a new mark for the century. His doings this month in Big Ten Conference circles will be worth watching. With the approach of the word "humous Kentucky Derby," comes our annual reminder that the Negro jockey, once a numerous chin has been almost crowded off the stage. Those of us of the younger generation can but read of their wonderful deeds, and here that we shall some day see their return, to their rightful places as principals in the "Sport of Kings." However, we sometimes get a little bit of cheer from gloomy situations. For instance, we learn from "Kid" North, a successful follower of the sport and in owner of several goal horses, that some of the best horses that grace the tracks today are great because of Negro trainers. Quatrina, picked by many to win the Derby, was trained by a colored man, "Beef." Exor Quatrina was victor in the Louisiana Derby and the New Orleans hand-cup. (On Eastern tracks, we find George Hiddles (Little Six) riding mounts for the Whitings stables, about the only boy we have who gets a chance to ride in the biz "games." But behind the scenes, unhonored and mis-scened, the trainer of brozed hue is getting the throughbucks ready for the sport that throws millions. How long will demon Prejudice ride in the saddle where the Negro jockey and Justice should ride? Last Saturday, DeHart, Hubbard again tied the world's record for the 100-yard dash in the Michigan-Ohio State final meet. Hubbard also won his erstwhile speciality, the running broad jump. Whenever DeHart goes, his presence is announced in the headlines of every papers. He is a real athlete of all kinds, an athlete that is doing his bit to boost about real democracy in America. Let us encourage more Negro athletes to take up college athletics that they may serve he race by so doing. Give us have our colleges and high schools develop teams as well as individuals to participate in every meet and tournament for which they are eligible. Our race will profit greatly there. H. A.

(Spearman). Saturday, the Stars dropped their second game of the series to Memphis 2 to 1 in twelve innings. Deacon Meyers went the full route for the Stars. Long Shot, the St. Louis favorite at the Louisville Auto Derby, finished in seventh place. Engine trouble seems to be the reason. Dick Kent is due a lot of credit for the time and money he spent on sending Long Shot to Louisville, so that St. Louis might have a representative in the race. The Stars won a double header from Memphis Sunday, after losing the first two games. Davis started the first game, but was forced to retire in the third in favor of Dipi Miller, who held Memphis runnels. But Davis was sent back in the second game and came through with a 2 to 1 victory. The Stars lost their first try at Birmingham, Monday. Cold weather kept the St. Louis Black Sox from making their appearance at Stars park Sunday. We are anxious to see what these boys can do. WAVERLY, Va., May 27.—After examining all witnesses, no evidence was found in this case against any person," this was, the verdict of a grand jury sitting on a case that grew out of the lynchings of James Jordan, in this county, several weeks ago. Jordan, who was accused of assaulting a white woman, was taken from a sheriff by a mob and lynched in the Bronx. The fragments of his body being found fifty miles from the scene of murder. The trial seemed a mockery throughout. Several white men; two colored women and a colored man were questioned; their testimonies being received with little effect.

This beautiful silver loving cup is an inspiration to clean, wholesome athletes in all the schools, and will remain an inspiration to them to play high class ball for its permanent possession.

NEW LOCATION OF The St. Louis Argus 2312-14 Market St. Phone, Central 4620 IN MEMORIAM "To you from falling hands we throw the torch, be yours to hold. It high—" Eight years ago there were added to the list of America's soldier dead honored on Memorial Day, the names of the first soldiers of the American Army in France to lose their lives in the World War. Up to the date of the Armistice this number including comrades who died in camp at home, grew to one hundred thousand. Numbered among the 37,000 men killed in action, are some whose dependents have not received the recognition that they are just due to lie in lieu of the supreme sacrifice that their loved ones and our Buddies have made, and it is now particularly appropriate in this Memorial Day season, that the American Legion rise with the new generation, following in the footsteps of the generations that have marched on before dating back to the Declaration of independence, and the principles for which it stands, and in memory of our departed, and in homage to our maimed and disabled comrades, and their dependents, we will assemble once again on Saturday, May 30, 1925, and join the many millions marching with solemn tread, to the silent cities of the dead, throughout the land; and as we look back to deeds of valor, done by these veterans of the Civil War, the Spanish American, and the World War, who have answered the Last Call—and with tear-dimmed eyes, and hearts swelled with pride as Taps is sounded for those ears which cannot bear, it is not in glorification of war, but it is to the memory of our heroic dead that we bow our heads in reverence. "To us from falling hands they have thown the torch, it is ours to hold it high." GET BONUS BLANKS Through the kindness of Honorable L. C.

It is understood that a satisfactory settlement was made and Mrs. Turpin entered her appearance in the case before she left for California, where she will make her future home. It was known to their friends for a long time that incompatibility existed between this couple. REMARRY Prof. Everett Colbert and Miss Daisy Trice were quietly married at Berea Presbyterian church by the pastor, Rev. W. Perris. This young couple was divorced last February. BIRTHS RECORDED Police Doings Josie Wilson, 42, of 117 North 10th street, East St. Louis, was shot thru the heart and instantly killed following a quarrel in her home with Will Clay, 46, of 2845 Market street, at 10:50 o'clock Sunday night. Clay was arrested about forty-five minutes later by railroad detectives, who found him in the railroad yards about two miles from the scene of the shooting. He admitted shooting the Wilson woman, but claims he acted in self defense. He exhibited a powder-burned bullet hole in his hat. His revolver contained two exploded cartridges. ESCAPED CONVICT CAUGHT HAD PULLED ANOTHER JOB Detectives, while touring the Seventh Police District in an auto, last Tuesday night, observed a man who gave his name as George West, 31, of 3416 LaSalle street, carrying a bundle wrapped with a newspaper which contained "two ladies' suits." When searched at the station $79.86 in money was found in his pockets. A gold watch was also found concealed on his person. It developed later that the home of Anthony Alter, 718 Bowen street, had been entered on the same day that West was arrested, and the two suits, watch and $70 stolen. West was taken to the office of Chief of Detectives Robert Kaiser the following day, and after a severe grilling admitted that he was Ralph Holden, alias McFarland, who, on April 22, 1925, made his escape from the Missouri State Penitentiary. His statement was verified by the Bertillon Bureau. A warrant has been issued against Holden charging him with burglary, second degree and larceny. MANSLAUGHTER IS CHARGE AGAINST WOMAN Anna bella Hill, 35, 2305 Pine St. died on the operating table at City Hospital No. 2 at 5 o'clock Sunday night of a stab wound in the left chest inflicted a short time before by Henrietta Nash, 30 of 1924 Morgan street, following a quarrel in the former's room. The Nash woman escaped. According to Sam Terry, an uncle of the dead woman, who conducts the rooming house at the Pine street address, the two women quarreled following an argument about the Nash woman's husband. Mrs. Nash stabbed her companion with an ice pick. She was arrested by Detective Sergt. Cooper, Detectives Kennard Whitlor and Pettus. A verdict of manslaughter was returned against the Nash woman by a coroner's jury Tuesday. WARRANTS OBTAINED BY OFFICERS RICHARD PARKER, 3900 West Bailie place, carrying concealed weapon, arrested by Detectives Ward Harris and Lee Middlebrooks.

SEARCH WARRANTS Because there seems to have been a misunderstanding in one or two instances where the impression was that under a search warrant that everybody in a place could be arrested including citizens who happened to stop in for a purchase, Prosecuting Attorney, Albert L. Schweitzer, gives out the following advice to police: "With respect to search warrants, want to advise that search warrants cover the place specified, and that alone, and the parties to be arrested in connection therewith are the parties directly connected with the business." Patrolman E. S. Enders and George A. Seibert of the Mounted District, last Friday were called on by the Police Board to explain if they did not try to make a colored boy dance, and to answer another complaint against them of caressing a young woman in a street car waiting room at Chain-of Rocks, May 8. According to a report made by a person who witnessed the policemen's capers, Enders, and Selbert walked into the waiting room together. Enders drew his revolver and demanded that the colored boy put on a "buck and wing" dance. Selbert, Miss Ruth Greenway, 9112 Riverview drive, said, evidenced no interest in the dance, but instead, sat down beside her and attempted to put his arm about her waist. At the Board meeting it was the opinion of the members that Selbert and Enders who were charged jointly with "Conduct Unbecoming to an Officer" and "Neglect of Duty" be ordered dismissed from the force. Seibert pleaded not guilty to charge 1 and guilty to charge 2 with the privilege of making a statement. Enders pleaded guilty to charge 1 and not guilty to charge 2, with the privilege of making a statement, but their carefully constructed detenances were brought by stern scrutiny, and their alibi proved to be of no avail.

"WHEN A 'MAMMY' DIED" Under the above title, there appeared an editorial in last Sunday's Post-Dispatch in which the writer of the article made much ado over the fact that a Negro woman, who is styled as a Negro "mammy" who died down in Georgia recently, had been buried in a cemetery next to the white people in whose family she had acted as a faithful servant for the past 40 years. For the benefit of the readers of the Argus we herewith reproduce the editorial that they may appreciate the more why we are tempted to comment on the same. When A "Mammy" Died There was a pretty ceremony in Macon, Ga., when the body of Anna Jordan, an aged Negro "mammy," was placed in an exclusive white cemetery, next to the bodies of children she had nursed. It was preceded by an elaborate funeral from the the mansion of the Smith family, which, she had served for nearly 40 years. No one who knows the South can doubt that this honor to Mammy was dictated by the deepest love for her. She was much more than a servant. By her long devotion, she had become a definite part of the family. Such a ceremony in the North would be sheer affectation, if it could take place at all. Such a relationship as existed between Anna Jordan, and the Smith family is simply unknown above the Mason-Dixon line. No doubt many Northerners will be totally unable to understand why Anna Jordan was given such honor. But Anna Jordan's case is not uncommon. For Negro servants to be given places of honor at white weddings and funerals in the South is something so customary among people of gentility that it is scarcely remarked. The news of a Negro lynching in the South spreads far and wide, but for every Negro who is lynched or persecuted a thousand enjoy tender associations with white families. The Anna Jordan incident is valuable in illustrating to the North something of the attitude of the South toward colored people. This attitude has been grossly misunderstood and misinterpreted, and that a Southern family should be so affectionate toward a servant as the Smiths werg to Anna Jordan will help to dispel many illusions. The writer of the above seems to be trying to show that the Negroes are treated better in the South than they are above the Mason-Dixon line, and that a more friendly relation exists between the whites and colored in the South than in the North. In arriving at this conclusion, we wonder if the writer took into consideration the fact that Anna Jordan, the black "mammy" referred to, had worked, no doubt, without receiving one cent of wages from this family for forty years, being provided for, of course, with food and clothing. There are many such cases. Surely her master owed her a burial. Friendly relation between white and colored is not measured by the servant route, but how we meet as man to man. Not how you treat a dead servant, but how you treat her living son who happens' to be a business or professional man. We have seen, in the North and in the South, Negro servants at weddings and funerals of whites, but we fail to understand why their presence are "places of honor." Everybody knows it is honorable to work, for it is written in the Book, "and whose ever will be chief among you, let him be your servant." If, in that sense, then we have a ray of light on the dark subject. In other words, we do not see how the burial of a Negro servant in a white cemetery, and allowing Negro servants at white weddings and funerals express friendly relations between the white and colored people in the South. It only looks to us like a poor attempt at placing a premium on the servant class among Negroes. If there is any sincerity in the statement, then we say, let the white man of the South show his friendliness by building schools for Negro children like the schools he builds for his own; give him the same opportunity for receiving an education as he does his own; let him cease collecting taxes from Negroes and appropriating it to the education of his own children; give him first class accommodations on the train when he pays first class fare; stop lynching, and burning the Negro in violation of all decent laws; cease debauching and degrading Negro women; cease the passage of laws to segregate and disfranchise his own children born to Negro women of the South. These are some of the things that the white man of the South may do for the black "mammy's" children. This will do far more good, and show a much greater spirit of humanity than interring her body in the cemetery beside those whom she nursed.

He vention at that time, but we fo So far as we know, Senator Williams is a man of steady qualities and is big enough to give every man a square deal regardless of race or creed. We saw him in action at the State Republican Convention at Springfield, last May, and we are pleased to report that his actions there pleased us very much. He was only a delegate to a state convention at that time, but we found him faith- ful. Let us hope he will keep it up as United States senator. "He that is faithful in small things shall be made ruler over many things." The college edition of the Atlanta Independent which appeared last week was a nice piece of art. Judging from the number of schools advertised, it was also a nice paying proposition. It is not strange that Tennessee is defending a law against evolution. This state believes in semi-savage customs in this enlightened age of civilization; for instance, burning a human being at the stake in the broad open day time while thousands of its inhabitants, men, women and children all gather to witness the affair, and are seen hopping around in friendish glee. Surely such actions would make the heathens blush in shame. The difference between C. G. Williams as a member of the Board of Curators of Lincoln University, and A. E. Malone and Dr. J. E. Perry, the other two colored members of that board is, the latter are trying to serve the people of the state while the former is only trying to serve self and a few of his little satellites. The statement from Uncle Sam that 20,000,000 letters yearly are incorrectly addressed is, we think, a favorable comparison with the number of misdirected calls by telephone operators. "To err is human." Yes, we said that Heber Nation is regarded as a prominent leader of the order of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. MUSIC, ART, DRAMA AND LITERATURI By RICHARD JACKSON Josiah S. Criticism The critic is generally one of the most misunderstood and most misrepresented of modern writers, as has been the case from the earliest times. Few see the virtue of criticism, and still fewer care to be criticised. Nevertheless, the critic goes on with his efforts and continues to grow popular. One of America's leading music critics not so long ago wrote a convincing article in the defense of his work. He endeavored to place the outsiders in his shoes that they might know and understand his problems, and sympathize with the truly valuable service that he was attempting to render that great mass, called the public. "It is true that many may give a large portion of their lives to the developing of their musical talents and then receive no consideration from the crifle," said the writer, "but this is not the crifle's business. If a lifetime of voice culture fails to produce anything but ability to sing off pitch in seven different keys, it is obvious that the practice of the lifetime has been wasted. If one were to take into account the personal tragedy of every song, piano or violin recital, there would be nothing by felicitations for every performer. "The matter in the crittie's hand is just how adequate a man or a woman is for the work to which they have devoted themselves. Madame Legato gives a plano recital of Chopin's music—the question is not, does Mme. Legato wish to increase her teaching list through favorable notices, but, did Mme. Legato display an informing intelligence and sensitivity-in her interpretation of the music? This is unfortunate for the performer, since so few professional musicians in the end are bent on anything except returns from the box office. "This aspect of criticism is the reportorial—it is the recording of daily events, of who appeared, and when and where. But, there is another and far more important purpose in musical criticism—a purpose, which perhaps is only dimly realized by newspapers for which the critic writes and the public that reads him. And it is the thing that lies nearest to the critic's heart, the thing that has drawn him to his work, that makes it possible to hear the odium which he must encounter in the pursuit of an ideal. "His purpose has more nearly to do with the music itself and is conceived only remotely with the performance. It is with the sentiment, of mood, of posture, of something vaguely called truth, is something difficult to explain even for the person who realizes it in his mind with perfect clarity. Perhaps it is something that is not recognized with the mind, but rather with the heart—something that must be aspired inintuitively and explained thru huperbole. "This subtle something is the almost mystical revelation of universal emotions that goes by the name of art. It is that which in music, in literature and in the inconnagraphic arts, casts such a poignant and revealing light on joy and sorrow, on our most obvious and our most secret passions. "But an interpreter is necessary, and in his function as such, the critic becomes an artist. For: the critic with the weapons of his literary trade may also illuminate the hidden springs from which come such overmastering visions of emotional truth. The critic, too, may occasionally present in an intimate yet universal manner the ardor or delight and fear he lifes its ultimate meaning. He has the magic augustiveness of music" at his command but he has the lesser charm of words and of sensitiveness perhaps than that of the man who has not devoted himself exhaustively to the pondering of such eternal problems. "But there remain many who see in the critic only a person of inferior intelligence and no taste: a person completely unfitted for, his work. This, must naturally be the fate of any one who undertakes the hardly grateful service of informing public men, treating merits and demerits. Some people's body are bound to be stepped on, and that someone is bound to resent it. " The criticism of Mme. Sordino's singing and of Mme. Legator's piano playing is not meant as a personal disagreement of those ladies' talent — it is more the expression of regret that the music of Schubert and Chopin is not supported with the entumatism and follicularism demanded. The critic has no grudges to the performer; he only wishes him or her to be equal to the demands made by the music, so that Schubert and Chopin need not suffer untidy vulgarities at the hands of the inexperi and the insincere. He regrets the loss of beauty in an inadequate rendition and, seeks to explain, the causes of this regret." **Squibbs** The citizens of St. Louis have been favored during the present week by the visit of a Race authorhes; Miss Kathryn M. Johnson. Miss Johnson, who was formerly in the service of the N. A. A. G. P. for three years/ and who was one of the few colored women to serve over seas. In collaboration with Miss Addie W. Hutton, another Negro over seas woman, wrote the only works on the American Negro Soldier in the World War, that has been written from actual observations in the war zone. The book is entitled "Two Colored Women with the Americau Expeditionary Forces." Miss Johnson is at the present time traveling through the country in the interest of placing a carefully selected two foot shelf of Negro literature in the homes of every colored family. As she says, "it is an effort to offset the silence of our educational system regarding twelve million American citizens of African descent. Miss Johnson is residing at 4237 Labadle avenue, during her stay here. The old fashioned minstrel show was revived at the Greenwich Village Theatre in New York last week. At the old songs from the days of the Gurgeh Minstrel, which entertained '80s sensitive '70s, the egregious '80s '90s were interpreted by W. C. Hardy's Band and Minstrels. A review of the epoch-making compositions of the Race going back to the songs of the forgotten James Bland, and including the compositions of such men as Gussie Davis, Ernest Hogan, Will Marion Cook and J. Rosamond Johnson as well as songs set to the poems of Paul Lawrence Dunbar. The second part of the program was devoted to a comprehensive outline of Negro folk songs and folk dances of the last twenty years, W.C. Handy, the composer, who first popularized the "Blues," acted as a conferencer, explaining the orgin and essential characteristics of the various offerings. Several entertainers celebrated in the history of Afro-American Minstrelsy, appeared on the program. Devoted to, a Discussion of Social and Civic Problems and Events By GORDON R. SIMPSON Executive Secretary, Urban League of St. Louis Paying Our Part With the steadily improving economic status of Negroes, the question of larger contributions for charitable purposes booms large. While it is true that traditionally we as a group have given to charity thru direct individual services or thru the medium of the church, it is also true that with the development of charity giving by social service organizations along scientific lines and with careful administration, it has become necessary for us to participate directly thru such channels. The organization of Community Funds in over 100 cities thrusts the country has meant that a number of charities rendering service directly as well as indirectly, to colored sick, distressed, handcapped and dependent organizations. Along with these organizations goes the added responsibility of colored citizens to bear a share of the cost of such service. In St. Louis at the present time there are six such charities members of the Community Fund and Community Council, namely: People Hospital; Pine St. Y. M. C. A. Wheatley Branch Y. W. Y. C. A. Old Folks Home, Colored Orphans Home and the Urban League. The budgets of these organizations derived from the Community Fund during the current year total over $80,000. While it is true in the case of organizations like the Y. M. C. A. Y. W. C. A. and Peoples Hospital that they promote some revenue producing activities, it is also true that the income from services rendered does not completely take care of the cost of the service. On the other hand, there are such agencies as the Urban League, St. Louis Provident Association, the Visiting Nurse Association and others which render large service directly to unfortunate families, of our group entirely free of charge. This then is a challenge to those within our group who are able to bear part of this burden. The experience of the past three years in the local Community Fund has been that colored citizens have during the campaign for funds subscribed liberally. On the other hand, payment of subscriptions has been Property Loans You don't have to lose your property unless you have waited too long.

LARGEST FINANCE COMPANY AMONG NEGROES IN THE WORLD sadly disappointing. This is undoubtedly due to a number of causes: slackness, unemployment, departure from the city, change of address, etc., contributing their share. On the other hand, there have been instances where pledges for large amounts have been made, but where only a small percentage, and in many instances, nothing at all, has been paid on the pledge. It is important that the seriousness of this situation be realized. There are the "leen and fat years" in giving to social service; and in a lean year embarrassing situations might arise involving colored charities. Let those who can, pay their subscriptions, and so on, sit quietly so that when a lean year occurs, or a gear leaver than this year, we shall not be wanting for support from other sources for charities rendering direct service to our group. Nor can we limit our thoughts to the consideration of only our group. We ought to give as citizens and to the unfortunate and as long as we think and act in those terms, the other fellow will be more inclined to do the same. **ANNIVERSARY** The Colored Old Folks Home will hold their anniversary Sunday, June 14, 1827; churches clubs fraternities, orders, and other institutions in individuals are invited to be present.

FEW NEGROES IN SMALL TOWNS, REPORT SHOWS FEW NEGROES IN SMALL TOWNS, REPORT SHOWS JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. May 28-26 According to a statement of Robert S Cobb, Executive Secretary of the Missouri Negro Industrial Commission, statistics based upon industrial surveys of several smaller Missouri towns show that the number of Negroes employed in these towns is negligible. Few Negroes are employed in public work in city streets, public highways etc. This is an unfortunate situation because the Negro is crowding the larger cities where he is not needed. Some effort should be made by the white citizens in authority, who control the industries to induce the Negro to keep steady employment. LOOKING BACKWARD MAY "THE YEAR OF 24" BY ROBT. P.

IF YOU DO NOT SEE YOUR MERCHANT'S ADVERTISEMENT IN THE ARGUS, ASK HIM THE REASON. TREND OF EVENTS IN NATION'S CAPITAL By THE JUDGE For Associated Negro Pres By "The Judge" WASHINGTON, D. C. May 27. The Government Printing Office here has employed expert colored men longer than any of the executive departments. But you would never hear a word about it unless the Public Printer himself would point out the same. Nearly fifty years ago there were colored compositions in the Government Shop. I doubt whether Mr. Coolidge "nows this, as President Harding knew very little, about it. There are three men in that service, who on account of length of service and actual ability, could fill the berth of Public Printer, and they are actively members of the Union. The other day while talking with a high government official, I suppose if you would ask our genial President Coolidge "try apoint a colored man as public printer, the, the entire race would, have to pack up and leave Washington on account of the indignation that it would cause. However, we will wait and see what happens on the changes occur under this administration. Women Will Be Heard From The women are forging ahead in politics here, both black and white. They are raising their own funds, opening their own headquarters, and are simply taking our Congressional committees and our senatorial committees, which we have used for years in electing Senators and Representatives and running away with the same. Unless the Republican and Democratic management here absolutely stop them, they will soon have the whole thing sewed up and will proceed to nominate and elect them. That meeting which they called the Quinquennial, last week, was nothing less than a group of Democratic and Republican women, backed by foreigners to grasp the political machines of both the old parties as they are now constituted. The Judge was invited to attend one of their secret meetings and if they don't elect a woman to the Senate next time, it will not be because they have not set up the machinery to do so. I hardly think they are with the colored sisters, though, and they are some time timid on the race question. The sister in black is not timid, however, and they called on the President and absolutely told him plainly just what they wanted in the matter of patronage. That's going some—when you compare it with the attitude of the so-called race politicians of Washington. Retrospection of Mr. Lewis If "Bill" Lewis had remained in the Republican party he would have been honored with a ministerial outstanding appointment. He may get it yet if he will use a little sack cloth and ashes, as the Massachusetts crowd all did like Bill and would like to forget that he made a big boo of himself in the last persisted campaign. There will have to be a reorganization of the colored group in the Republican party and the sooner it is done the better. I think the colored press will have to take a sponge and wipe from the slate all the mistakes that happened in the last campaign. But the time is getting shorter and shorter for the election of a new congress and a new senate and whether the managers will have time to make a realignment is hard to foretell. Those Senate Rules Every time one of your western fellows is elected to preside over the United States Senate you try to stash something new about the Rules. Have you forgotten that it was the absence of a Rule that beat the Dyer Lynching bill in the Senate? How is it that you are afraid to talk about it? Speaker Thomas B. Reed showed the world and showed the country how to liberate congress (Senate and House) from Rule filibuster. The fault does not lie in the rules but in the absence of a majority vote. Of course, when the majority refuses to vote with the party that has elected it, of course, anybody can pillibuster behind a rule. But the fault is in the majority not in the Rule. If the majority of Residentsance vote with President Coolidge the Senate, the Warren would have been the Attorney-oral rule, or no rule. But a large part of the majority voted with the Democrats and the President was defeated. The same things occurs when a Negro's name is sent in for confirmation and the object is to defeat his confirmation. A very large number of the majority voted with the majority behind some rule and thus defeat is accomplished. But, if the solid majority would vote together, allowing the minority to vote practically by themselves, there could be a defeat of the party platform. The Rule is simply the "smoke screen" in the parliamentary body, and strange as it may seem, the only measures, primarily, that are defeated are those such as the civil rights bill, the Lynching bill and other the majority party refuses to vote for the majority measure and calls up a Rule in the Senate to hide behind. If Thomas B. Reed presided over the Senate in place of Mr. Dawes, when ever a party matter came before the body, he would count the entire Republican membership as voting for it and declare it carried and if the in surpurses and recalcitrant did not like it they could go straight to the Supreme Court, which by the way, upheld the Reed method of running a parliamentary body. One of the earliest colored public school principals, Miss Mary M. Reed, was born in May, 1867, The St. Louis Argus or For nearly forty years she had given herself to teaching in the elementary grades, which takes in the young colored school children from the first to the eighth grade, and is by far the hardest work done in the entire school system. This lady actually worked until she dropped, thus giving her very life for the benefit of her race. She was stricken with paralysis and lived but a few days thereafter. She proved by her life work that the race still has some real patriots left amongst us. By ERNEST RICE McKINNEY Preston News Service Harry H. Pace Proves It Can Be Doe A friend of mine recently remar- ked to another friend of mine something to the effect that I was getting into too many flights with "This Week". Therefore, to be agreeable, this week we try another tack. The remarkable achievement of Harry H. Pace in raising the $100, 000, the required fund to get the Northeastern Life Insurance Company on its way, is a thing for which the best roses should be given. Remember this is a real insurance company and not a little "catch penny" sick and incident concern or a "jeek- water" fraternal association or burial society. Mr. Pace has raised this money and put this company on foot right in the wake of the failure of the Standard Life Insurance Company and the blow-up of the Brown and Stevens Bank. This is something to think about. Two Negro businesses fall yet another rises immediately out of the ruins, so to speak. This demonstrates that we are not a race of quitters and crepe hangers. We've got more sense now than we used to. There was a time when we said that if a Negro business failed there was no need for any one to try starting another business that generation. Mr. Pace has exploded that theory. Some of our publishers claim that if you tell the world about the failure of a Negro institution there is danger that a few more will die from fright, lack of confidence or some other ghost. Mr. Pace has had considerable experience in the insurance business. He knows the business and can make it go. When he has developed a trained sales force that can sell his policies properly he and his company will be on the way to something that has been needed for a long time in the North. That something is: a Negro insurance company strong enough, broad enough, efficient enough and with enough liberal intelligence in its management to compete with the white companies. With the development of the Northeastern Life Insurance Company there will not be so much cockiness on the part of the white companies in rejecting Negro risks. In charging higher premiums and in refusing to put Negro solicitors to work. Perhaps, in the days to come, the statistics of these white companies will be bent a little backward to show that Negroes don't have such a high relative death rate after all. It is very pleasing to us colored Pittsburghers to learn that our most prominent citizen, at least as far as national affairs are concerned, Mr. Robert L. Vann, has been elected to the Board of Directors of the Northeastern Life Insurance Company. Due to a high order of business and administrative experience, Mr. Vann will make a valuable counsellor for Mr. Pace. HUNDREDS OF STUDENTS TURN TO STEEL WORK WASHINGTON, D. C., May. 27.—More than four hundred colored students from colleges in the South have applied to the United States Chamber of Commerce asking assistance in securing employment, in steel plants during the coming summer. They are seeking both skilled and unskilled labor. Those unable to get into the plants pick as second choice, places in the railway transportation service or at northern summer resorts, their object being to save enough to pay expenses at school next term. MOSAIC TEMPLARS MEET IN ARKANSAS JULY 21-24 LITTLE ROCK, Ark.

The league's spring activities are chiefly taken up with the planting of shrubbery, trees and flowers in the small parks about Harlem. World's Richest Country OTTAWA, Ont., May 27 — The United States is the wealthiest country in the world, according to official figures released here. It ranks first with a total national wealth of $320,803,000,000. Wealth of the 12 leading countries is figured as follows: United States ..... $320,803,000,000 United Kingdom ..... 83,840,000,000 France ..... 67,710,000,000 Germany ..... 35,700,000,000 Spain ..... 29,319,000,000 Italy ..... 25,886,000,000 Canada ..... 22,095,000,000 India ..... 21,960,000,000 China ..... 19,087,000,000 Poland ..... 17,000,000,000 Argentine ..... 13,178,000,000 Brazil ..... 13,020,000,000 NATION CONSUMES OVER $500,000,000 IN SWEETS NEW YORK, May 27—No country consumes so much confectionery as the United States. Every year more than $900,000,000 worth of candy is manufactured here—not including the home kitchen products. The nation's ice cream bill is, in round numbers, $230,000,000, and nearly $100,000,000 is spent for chocolate and cocoa. At least 100,000 people are regularly engaged in making candy, ice cream and chocolate. The use of chocolate lately has increased surprisingly, due to prohibition of alcohol. Fully 40,000,000 pounds of sweetened chocolate is consumed nearly, about 1,000,000 pounds unsweetened, 30,000 contains nuts and other quality ingredients prepared with milk. Each year 60,000,000 pounds of chocolate are used for other various sweets. More candy and ice cream are manufactured in New York than in any other state. Philadelphia leads in quantity production of chocolate and cocoa. Boston ranks highest for quality. THE INFLUENCE OF GOOD HOMES By EUSTACE GAY *For The Associated Negro Press.* There was held in Philadelphia last week at the Commercial Museum what was known as the "Own Your Home". Exposition. Philadelphia among other things, creditable and discreditable, is noted for the number of individual homes and home owners. The home and this is, of course, not original) is at the basis of human governmental affairs. It is the physical side of the home that was involved in the Exposition, its construction. Its, the furniture, the bathroom and kitchen appointments, etc. But who is there who will deny that no home can exercise its greatest influence for good—its best spiritual influence—if physically it is—poorly located and equipped? This question of home influence is a serious question in American life today. The home, spiritually, seems to be retrograding. How much of this is due to the lack of proper physical atmosphere is worth while considering. Many charges are laid at the door of the Negro in America, that close analysis reveals to be the result of the home influence—or rather the wrong and NBs of influence. Telling the great number of colony people in America to "Own Your Home" is to hold up to them a very landable ideal, but one which their economic condition for the most part makes impossible. Everywhere, North and South, the tandemity is to restrict Colored Americans to houses and neighborhoods where the physical atmosphere is poor. Any effort by Negroes to "Own Your Home" in first-class neighborhoods is presented. We get vaccinated in small-pox. I wonder if there is not some vaccine that can be administered to the residents of first-class neighborhoods. borhoods that would enable them to "point with pride" to instead of "viewing with alarm the advent of colored families." We are forced to live, most of us—in the poorest houses and neighborhoods, on the one hand. On the other, we are expected to show the spiritual results attained by those whose physical atmosphere is more wholesome. The many modern improvements on display at the Exposition seldom—if ever—reach us. Most of the machinery that lightens the burden of housekeeping is beyond our purse. If we have good furniture, then the house in which we live belongs to someone else and is hardly fit for such furnishings. If "on" in "Your Own Home" then the struggle with the payments when due prohibits anything but, bare necessities. If it's not one thing, it's another. So that "Own Your Home" Expositions only serve to "tantalize us." There is, I guess, some joy, however, in being able to see what a well-constructed and properly appointed house—or home-looks like. You have something to look forward to—hope for. Some day—. Prof. Miller Agrees To Speak At N. A. A. C. P.

May 27.—Two persons are dead and dead in a hospital in a critical condition a suit of a shooting affray arising out of an, unidentified Negro bumping into the wife of a white patrolman on the streets here. The fatalities occurred at Lenox avenue and 1538th street. Glennon Fuller, a member of the West Thirty-four street reservoir, was walking along the street when she was slightly injured in a pedestrian. The white patrolman infiltrated and rescued the Mo- gro severely, wheron the latter became enraged and both men drew pistols and began firing, the white reservoir falling with a bullet wound in the chest, George Godfrey, a colored policeman, heard the shooting and rushed to the scene, wheron the men were exchanged, and both Negroes fell into the wounded. The strange man died immediately and the colored patrolman expired while being rushed to the hospital. More than thirty shots were exchanged, during which the lives of scores of pedestrians were endangered. Columbus Realty Operators Dedicate New Building Associated Negro Press. New York, Chicago and other cities of tremendous populations of Negroes are prone to great credit for the advance in general business among us. However, it is no fact that when one regards the laws proportion, some of the smaller cities have just reason to dispute with the larger places the claim to superiority in many directions. Columbus, Ohio is one such town. Several time that citizens of that Ohio capital been features in stories that told of commercial and business development. The recent dedication of the The Teresa bushfield Museum in honor of the builder's wife, brings forward the names of James A. Jackson as a reality operator and general business fac- tor of more than local consequence. The $75,000 business block at Long and Logan streets was dedicated April 17. It is located in Logan Reality, The Long Street Phantom, The Coleman Service Company, Dr. Milton Tribbett, a dentist; Drs. J. Harmon Wilson, James Tyler and Sidney Sloan, all physicians. Jackson, with Mrs. Ruby R. W. Williams, widow of a former bush partner, is the owner of the Dunbar theatre, a house of 900 seats with all modern equipment including a $25. organ for the installation of which was made the same time that $50,000 in alterations were made on the property that originally cost more than $75,000. With another local citizen, he is interested in the Jackson-Logan Apartments, a $200,600 property, the first floor of which is occupied by a bakery and restaurant, while the three upper floors are tenanted by families. There are still other properties in the city that belong to him. Notwithstanding this fact, he is himself a renter insofar as his home is contained. He resides on Monroe avenue, along street, in one of the city's finest widenses districts. A nephew, Orpha Smith Jackson, manages a billboard room in the theatre that is one of Mr. Jackson's earliest ventures, and one of the most successful ones. It is remarkable how business instinct will attract like associates. Mrs. Williams, one of his business partners is in an unusual business for a woman of any group; and she is making a success with it. She operates a feed and grain store with such acumen that she is regarded as one of the richest women of the Mr. Logan, too, has a tremendous personal business, one that requires a sales manager and staff salesmen. Jackson has indeed invested a very commonplace and familiar name with a rare distinction; and Columbus has, through him and associates, added to its claim to national eminence as a city of business Negroes.

CHURCH EDUCATION BOARD MAY MERGE MANY OF ITS NEGRO SCHOOLS Preston News Service CHICAGO, Ill., May 27—The board of education of the Methodist Episcopal Church has been in session here during last week at the Edge- water Beach Hotel. The Educational institutes for Negroes received very careful consideration. According to close observers it looks as though the merger of the Board of Education for Negroes into the general Board of Education for which many of the lending Negroes of the Methodist Episcopal stood at the General Coference in Springfield, Massachusetts, will result in the merger of some of the nineteen schools in the South, reducing the number to ten literary and three professional schools. A commission was appointed to make a survey of the entire system and report recommendations to the Annual meeting of the Board in February 1726. The commission includes of Bishop W. F. Anderson, Presbyterian Bass, Mass.; Dean Thos. F. Holgate of Northwestern University, Chicago; Giannis W. F. W. King, Professor in Gamma; Dr. A. R. Brown, President University of Chattanooga, Chattanooga; Town; Bishop Robert E. Jones, President Department of Educational Institutions for Negroes. New Orleans, La.; Corresponding Secretary W. S. Boyard, Chicago, Ill.; Secretary P. J. Mavey, Chicago, Ill. and Secretary I. Garland Penn, S. Crincati, Ohio. It is stated that many of the Negro leaders who stood for the merger of the Boards at Springfield are in consternation now that the merger proposition is likely to also mean the merging of some of the institutions in their territory. This they did not expect. The merger, however, will not destroy the identity of any institution but change the place of location of some of them and make for strength, economy and efficiency. TID-BITS The Zulus believe that the earth, moon, sun, and stars and indeed everything, was created by a supreme being called Mvellingquangl; i.e. the First Appearer, though there seems to be no idea as within what period all these things were made. There is a tradition to the effect that all people originally came from a single pair, and the pair sprang from a bed of reeds; and the pair bed is to be found, tradition does not say. At the same time, if pressed a Zulu would probably locate it somewhere in the north, seeing a deeply rooted tradition of their having descended from that direction is widely prevalent, not only among them, but other allied peoples, like the Basutos, Xoasies, Swazis, and Tongas. A certain fairly well-defined section descended from the north, among the large basket. It is reported that that race today is the finest colored race in the world. There is hardly a man under six feet tall. They are good subjects to their chiefs and are a clean-living, lawabiding race. Two young men of Boston, while on a journey through India, witnessed an exhibition by a fakir in a small village. The fakir was performing the usual experiment of making a rope descend from the clouds when a man came down the rope, who ascended by the same route after having had his head cut off. The exhibition was in an open square before a thousand spectators, and every one saw plainly what was happening. The two Bostonians had cameras with them, and took numerous snap shots of the exhibition in its various stages, intending to write an article on the subject, illustrated by photographs. But when the plates were developed, the wonders had vanished. There were the fakir and the people, but there deceived man and no rope. The onlooker had evidently been hypnotized unto seeing the fakiry feat, but he could not hypnotize the camera, and it revealed the truth. Habies in Argovie, one of the Swiss cantons, must be weighed, measured, and their fingerprints taken within 24 hours after their birth. The culture of tobacco in Egypt is forbidden by law, but the country has a large cigarette manufacturing industry. The streets of New York City would reach to San Francisco and 500 miles into the Pacific Ocean if laid in one thoroughfare. London, England, expects soon to have a garage with a revolving floor. Thus a car parked on the floor can be brought around to the door by the rotation of the floor. For The Associated Negro Press, Japan is the largest market for American softwoods, taking more than $800,000,000 ft. from the United States last year. **WORLD'S BEST SYSTEM** Falling, Dry, Thin Halt.

Lesson for May 31 PETER AT LYDDA AND JOPPA LESSON TEXT—Acts 9:22-43 GOLDEN—TEXT—And they went forth and preached everywhere, the working with them, and congratulating with signs following—Mark 16:20. PRIMARY TOPIC—Two Wonderful Titles That Did JESUS. Story of Two JUNIOR, TOPIC—The Story of Two Miracles. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Two Great Miracles. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Place of Miracles in the Spread of the Gospel. In order to grasp the significance of this lesson, we should recall the condition which prevailed in the church as suggested in verse 31. 1. Freedom From Persecution. Saul, the ringleader of the persecutors, had only recently been converted, thereby disorganizing their forces and causing the church to enjoy a breathing spell. This period of rest was not used for growing hays, indifferent, worldly and forgetful of God, but for growth in grace and in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. 2. Spiritual Growth and Development. Most blessed will be, the results following the times of outward peace if the members of the church will but spend time in building it Up. The goal meaning of the word, "called" is built up: This does not mean merely that the members were being instructed and comforted, but that strenuous efforts on the part of individual members, as well as the body as a whole, were being made for the advancement of the divine life. As suggested by another, this metaphor involves: (1) A Foundation. This is Jesus Christ. No other must be laid (1. Cor. 3:12-16). (2) Continuous progress. This means that a Christian's activities are purposeful, and that the work he undertakes moves forward with the proper progression. (3) Persistent effort. This means that the present day's work begins the foundation upon which tomorrow's work must be built. Thus day by day his life is being raised higher and higher as each separate round of material is being laid by strenuous efforts. (4) Completion. Finally the work is done. The building is completed; the top stone is brought forth and placed. 3. Outward Growth. Building up within the church causes the whole work to be admired and respected by those without, inducing them to come and identify themselves with it. 1. Peter's Tour Among the Saints (v. 22). This resulted in securing new converts. 2. Two Stupendous Miracles (vv. 32-43). These were the greatest signs wrought since the days of Christ. The dreadful malady of palsy is vanquished, and a corpse is reenacted by the departed soul. The Lord had promised these signs as they went forth with the gospel message. They were given as encounters to the disciples to convince them that the gospel did not lose any of its power by being spread, but rather it increased in power. 1. The Healing of Aeneas (v. 32, 33). This man's needy condition appealed to Peter just as we today should appeal to us in their semi-dead state. Like his Master, Peter could not refuse the needful help. In this he does not direct attention to himself, but confidently appeals to the power in the name of Christ. He said, "Jesus Christ heals thee." The man who had kept his bed for eight long years immediately nosed and made his bed. Peter wisely kept this miracle from being the end by making it the means to the end—that end was the preaching of the gospel. 2 The Raising of Dorcas (vv. 30-43). This woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she "did" not what she talked of doing. She was a practical Christian woman. Her death was a real loss as was evidenced by the mourning of those who had been killed. If all professing Christian women would use their needles as Dorcas did there would be much less of that sprightness, fancywork, done. When this good woman fell sick and died, the disciples sent for Peter, this shows their growth in faith in the Daleine power. Peter again instigated the example of Jesus in putting them all forth. At his command her soul came back to live in her body. This again caused the people to believe on the Lord. In God's Purpose In no case does origin determine value. From the religious point of view, the dignity and worth of man lie in any case, in God's purpose concerning him, and that purpose is not affected by the particular method of his wooing.—Henry Churchill King.

NICHOLAS SCHOOL 19th and Lucas Ave. The St. Nicholas school and Sunday school organization has been doing an inestimable amount not only of positive work in providing hundreds of children with an excellent education grants and by showing them the true way to heavenly wisdom by offering them all the helps that Christ left to His church, but negatively also by doing what is sometimes called preventive work. The children coming to Sunday school are occupied with learning the truths of religion, and cannot then take in a questionable movie once a week simply of seeing a movie once a week simply of after school hours on Wednesdays in the form of a clean wholesome and free picture show in the school hall. This grand educational and social and religious work is made possible especially by the herdee services of the Sisters, who labor for absolutely no earthly recompense, and to the other devoted teachers. Colored Catholic women, who, after doing their duty, frequently use a considerable portion of their pay for buying additional desks or other equipment necessary for the ever increasing attendance. Next year the whole building will be used for educational purposes, allowing ample accommodations for 600 children, black and beautiful, the poorest of the poor, in whose behalf Christ saint "Suffer them to come to me, and forbid them not."

Hays for his management of the Movie Picture Industry and part praised him. "He every man but reserve your judgment." There was a division also on the question of mithing with the Congregationalists. It will come some day. Our Lord's prayer "That they may be one" will be answered. Unity however is not all uniformity. There are churches holding the Christian faith in all things essential. The difficulty among us is in not allowing liberty in things important but not essential and in not having charity in all things. A large practice of these things by individuals and local churches will help much in bringing about the union of all churches. "Other sheep have I which are not of this fold."

Atthi Dr. Turner held various teaching positions in his top-short for science life, he is best known for his research Work. Dr. Turner was one of St. Louis' great men, whom St. Louis, with the exception of its scientists, overlooked a man of 'strength of character, devotion to work, faithfulness to ideals, respect for truth, unselfishness in sharing that which he possessed.' He published about fifteen scientific treatises during his lifetime, three complete papers being published the Academy of Science of St. Louis, the Academy of Science of St. Louis, and the Academy of Science of his unpublished papers were found an unnished novel, historical stories for children, and a manuscript of a book of pocus. St. Louis did not recognize his worth, but the world of science did, and it is for enlighten scientists like Dr. Wheeler of Bussy Institute, Boston, and Prof. E. L. Bouvier of France, in his 'Tychle Life of Insects, to show us the esteem in which he was held. Turner's 'circling' is an expression used in the scientific literature of France to describe a certain kind of orientation. After a description of this circling in his chapter, 'With Terrestrial Articulate Prof. Bouvier says. This is what Cornetz called 'Turner's circling' using the name of the learned American who has best studied this phenomenon." LIBERTY CONGREGATIONAL Last Sunday, Rev.

Address all communications to George Wells Parker, the Associated Negro Press, 3423 Indiana Avenue, Chicago, Illinois. How early in history did Negroes make their appearance in America? According to the latest developments in archeology, the Negro made his appearance in America between 1150 and 1200 A. D., or about 250 years before the time of Columbus. Prof. Wiener, of Harvard, and Prof. Spender, well known American archeologist, maintain that *African Arabs* (Negroes) were the real founders of the Aztec and Mayan civilizations of America. The Arabs established a trading province, on the west African coast as Mindanao and vengeance Michoan, Mexico, being the landing point. In reviewing the remains of these civilizations it has been found that Arab names and words were very current among these peoples and that their word for chieftait "Toltec" is pure African. When Columbus arrived in America he found that Negroes had preceded him and they were known as the "Black Merchants from the South east." The gold which these merchants carried was peculiar in that it was alloyed with copper and known as "gold guanites." These quinones have been found in great numbers in Southeast America and in Africa. Therefore there seems to be an abundance of fruits that an enslave the proof that Negroes preceded others to America and instructed the Indians in the arts of civilization. Also many of our present fruits and vegetables were first brought over by these Negro Arabs from parts of Asia and Africa. THE WHATNOT COLUMN By ROBERT P. EDWARDS For The Associated Negro Press. 193. Who 'was Amanda Smith?' The history of Christianity cannot be called complete, and any history of our own race would be absurd, without mentioning the name of that remarkable person. Amanda Smith. She was born a slave in Maryland in 1837, and was the daughter of a father who worked practically 20 hours a day in order to buy for his family. She taught herself to read by cutting large letters from newspapers early in life she started out to preach the gospel; wrecking traditional ethics and casting custom to the winds. She astounded all races by conducting camp meetings, and evangelistic campaigns, of the most fiery type. She like of which have never been seen in the world, and the results of her work throughout the United States, Africa, India, England and Scotland forced open the door and won recognition for women preachers and was the inspiration for all campaigns, for women's rights in these days. She 'passed out' in 1915, with the recess of an entire life spent for others. 194. Who wrote "Mu Allakat?" "Mu Allakat" the famous Arabian poet, known as the golden poem of Mecca, was composed by Antar the lion, whose father was an Arab, and whose mother was an Abyssinian. Antar was born about 559 A.D. and his deeds are a warrior are famed throughout the Mohammedan world. He was also the greatest author of his day, his books and compositions to this day being accepted as classics, and ranked with the works of Wagner of Germany, Dumas of France and Pushkin of Russia, and are marvelous treatises on heroism, magnanimity, generosity and sturder. He died in 615 A.D. HOOSIT? HOOSIT? For The Associated Negro Press. 1. He was born in Haiti, a slave and the son of slaves but had been educated by a priest. He came to power and ruled his country in the name of France, restoring order and order in the country to an erawrish distressed liquid 1801 he did in Haiti what Napoleon had done in France set aside the Republic. Napoleon dispatched an army, not merely to arrest Haytian independence, but to restore slavery. The French commander, fearing to give battle, lured the Haytian into hands and sent him to France where he died in a dungeon. Hoos it Answer to Hoosit 11—Hannibal or Carthage. THE TENTH CRUSADE BABY CONTESTS. By WILLIAM PICKENS For The Associated Negro Press. The Tenth Crusade is on, and it is being led by the Brown Babies of the United States of America. There were Eight Crusades in the 12th and 13th centuries, in which the Christians, of Europe tried to rescua. Russeland, and the tomb of Christ from the Turk. One of those Crusades was of little children. And two or three years ago we had the Ninth Crusade against lynching in the United States, and a crusade which was led, by Brown Women of America, under the generalship of the now deceased Mary B. Talbert. Now we have the Tenth Crusade, a Crusade of the Infants, another attack on the Devil and the Turk. The oppressor is the Turk and the lyncher is the Devil. The Brown Babies are leading the assault. They began in 1924; they will not cease their Crusade until the Final Victory, be that one year, or one hundred years, or one thousand years hence. Bables always win; babies never cease to come; the last word and the last dawn belong to the Bables. What imminent power want attraction of leadership there is in these Bables. Last year as an experiment they raised $12,000 for their fight. This year, as a more definite plan, they will raise $25,000 at least. Can there be any greater glory than for a tiny Brown American to begin life in that way? Will not some artist conceive and execute for us a picture of this little timid "Brown Warrior, with his shield and shield and sword, marching onward the New Jerusalem of Human Liberty"? "And a little child shall feed them." "Little Brown Baby with sparkling eyes." We have never seen the grow-up-brown follow any leadership so loyalty and unselfishly as they are following the lead of these' infants. 'And we who have worked and toled with many sorts and all ages of people, we have never felt such inspiration to no and dare as that which we now derive from these Dimpled Darlings. To them we are the insurance of victory. By eminent them in infancy we can in a generation or two create a place that will justify our best dreams. The Kingdom of Heaven is like the Babies-Power and Glory without gale, On with the Brown Babies. OUT OF TOWN NEWS Continued From Page 12 Prayer by Sister A. J. Jones.

Colorful News "Movies" By The Cameraman Oh Lord. How Long?— Whipped on his barred backs, with blunders, scurried with intrestrments of extremes cruelty, intimidated with threats of instant death "framed up" on sheft cheers, cheated from his due wages, and defended in food purchases are a few of the experiences of George Diamond, a Negro worker in the turretine camps of the Peninsula, Florida, district, now a witness in the Government's case of torture against five souls employers, on trial last week in the United States Court. The experiences of Diamond and his fellow workers make a New York "third degree" seem like a heavenly dream. They even make the life of a slave on a Spanish gilleen, centuries ago before Democracy had made such headway, seem like a vacation outing. To know that in Americas, the land of the free and the home of the brave, such unutilized ac's are still in vogue, but to know that there is so much yet undone in civilization's onward march. The beast that is within some morses is till a mocker of Love and Justice, and the laxity that still prevails in Florida and its sister southern state in the preservation of law and order, where Negroes are concerned, is still a mocker of the customs of the United States. Has Florida a competent labor inspection staff which has any semblance of regard for the Negro worker? Does Florida still yearn for the lass and the buying bloodhounds? Is Florida statehood asleep, that condonation of ponage is open and morious? Are there not enough red-blooded men of pride to stumble on the parasitical practices of unjust employers, themselves too lazy to work and too dishonorable to pay others just hire for their labor? As Napoleon once said: "Good God how rare men are!" we wonder how he would feel in the midst of a Floridaian peon camp Sympathetic and thoughtful employers, even in the South, have realized, particularly during the last decade, that their own preservation depends, more than any other thing, upon the humanization of their conduct toward labor. Upon the majority of them the dawn has broken that all treatment of labor like chickens, always comes home to roost. The black man's stultification in the South has exerted the heaviest toll in sectional progress that this country has ever seen; and it has been only recently, since the Northern capital, believing that the South has undergone a change of heart, has lent its aid to southern industry, that the South has begun to recoup its losses. But, the peon camp of Florida and Georgia are again making deep soils in the Southland, and unless its well waters and well-doers can stamp out such human storehouses of fortune the South cannot hope to march forward. How long a pobregee practitioners can thrive and well-doers cannot apparently no one but God Almighty knows, but how long southern states will continue to pay the high price which mu civilization always exists from its proponents depends upon whatever quickening spirit of justice there yet remains in a section of the U. S. A. which continues to just the body and soul of the suffering black men and women within its borders. Railway Mediator Appointed—Cornellus Webb, trusted employee of the Pullman Company for many years, has been advanced by his appre- sive employer to the first position of his kind ever held by a Negro Webb has vettically become an official of the company, for whom he will now act as mediator and court in industrial relations matters which involve the 11,000 Negro service employees of the Pullman Company, who use his provide hands and ready brains to provide comfort and luxury for the thousands of passengers traveling in Pullman, on day and day by day and night. Thus, for the first time, the humble, but conscientious skights of the road who forsakes their own firesides and families to make a car seem homelike to those persons who are en route between home and hotel, are to have direct representation and voices in making smoother the industrial relations which exist between them and their company employer. Grievances as to hours, wages, and other conditions of labor are to be heard by Webb, who, having his race and his employee at interest at one and the same time, will make who recommendation to each party, thus promoting a greater harmony and a greater appreciation, each for the other, on part of both the Pullman Company and its faithful Negro curps of experts. Arbitration is frequently the milieu of disheard and while, due to the uniform consideration which President Carry and the staff of Pullman company offlobals have ever had for Pullman porters, misunderstandings have been few and far between. It is genuine good will which is being served by assigning a Negro mediator to official tasks of importance and dignity. Industrial relations can become a seething caldron of discontent or they can be made as mellow as the moonlight. They are the Alpha and the Omega of the industrial advancement of labor, and, particularly in this country, of Negro labor. The Pullman Company has set an example which could be profitably adopted by other employers. And as to Mr. Webb, of personal knowledge we know him to be a nigir' class gentleman, competent, energetic and broad in his vision and understanding. He will make good. Peaceful Politics— With the appointment of the veteran barrister, Thomas L. Jones as Assistant United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, it appears that the anticipated policy of greater recognition of colored people has become effective and that the future months will witness the falling of many plums to the faithful heirs of the fourth estate who have waited so patiently for their share of the spoils of political combat. The colored women, headed by Miss Halle Q. Brown, of Willisforce, and in cooperation with the Matthews organization have already made is understood that the same has a reasonable chance to be consummated by the appointment of colored women to a number of outstanding positions. In New York, Jo is patent that the Republican National organization must do something to offset the prestige which Tammany Hall, through Governor Smith and Mrs. Lynn, has gained, among the colored women, with Senator Wadsworth preparing to be the running again next year it will be. As chairman Butler announced Philadelphia, last week, to prepare for a stern battle. The New York vote is heavy and if the brethren among muscled can be induced to desert the Tammany Hall crowd It would be simple matter to swing the Empire State safely into the Republican fold. However, plums talk louder than words, and if the national Negro organization will be sufficiently definite in its requests, agreeing upon candidates for placement and showing a real rather than a visionary harmony, there is every reason to believe that key places will be restored to Negro voters. A large measure of difficulty seems to have been brought about by a disagreement upon personnel and plan. about fifty-seven different varieties of groups and programs having been submitted to the white folks, but not to the colored. Creative ability has been below normal and coalition has been made difficult by a disgruntled few, who seem still to imagine that antiquated political procedure is to be resurrected. Silence reigns concerning the Register of Treasury's office, for which there are a myriad of candidates. But, hither man, there are dozens of other prospects in agriculture, Public Health Education, Commerce and Finance within the gift of Uncle Sam, Why not like Charles, Hall, the enlighten Census expert, who created a prospective place in the Federal Farm Loan Bureau, and visualized something original, even though some one may say, as they did in Hall's case, wait until you've put in every thing the roof on the place and they try to get even so, such an effort as Hall's is, constructive one, and in the end constructive effort will win nine times out of ten. However, it's almost certain that political plums will soon begin to rain in an organized way, and it's up to the thoughtful people of our group to have a spoon, and not be caught with a fork. Unmusical Moments— William Shakespeare, the great English Bard-of-Avon, well knew of human frailties when he wrote of "The man that hath no music in his soul;" and had the gifted poet been present at the Washington Auditorium on May 5 and witnessed the voluntary departure from the All American Music Festival of the International Council of Women, of two hundred Negro singers of unsurpassable vocal accomplishments, he probably would have been inspired to add the gentler sex to his description of unmusical moments. There were present, on the evening of the departure, the Richmond Treble Cief Club, the Howard University singers, the Hampton Institute Choir the famous Amphion Gleef Club, and such individual musical stars as Dr. Nathaniel Dett, noted bassist, Dr. Terry Luh Vere Childers, Prof. Rob-Thomas pianist extraordinary and Prof. J. H. Lewis, of national fame—in all 200 of the sweetest singers and artists which America can boast. Their swelliness throats and smooth tones can stirred the hearts of the international women who were present, with absorbing musical descriptions of America. But, alas, the festival of music was rudely interrupted by the clattering bones of the skeleton in the closet. For one reason or another, or as one of the white managers said, "because of her training." Negro devices of musical art, who braved the down-town Washington theatrical section to hear the chants of "my people," were Jim-Grown in the polling station additorium. In other words, the police blending voices but not blending bodies in order of the night for such the Storm as had sufficient mental strength to listen, but not look. The spectacle of personalised segregation of their people was quite humiliating to the Negro artists. As one of them said, it turned his musical soul inside out and he felt like a "Motherless Child." Amid such an environment the 200 Negro singers were quite unable to go into international songs, and as in Rome, food of old, with one back-step that departed in a body from the great musical festival. Gone was Delt, the Negro voices, and a allusion reigned as deep as that of Tara's harp. The festival proceeded sadly and unmusically. The musical die that was left over for the remaining white listeners was not incomparable to a vegetable diet for an iron and steel worker. Most significant of all, however, was the fact that the Negro artists declared for themselves in union-like style that art, the great consoler of men (and sometimes women too) should be left free, unloved with race hatred, unsporched by the fires of segregation, and unattired by the mantle of deception. In his dissenting opinion in the Civil Rights Cases (1875) argued before the United States Supreme Court during the late senators, Mr. Justice Harian said: "Property becomes clobbed with a public interest when used in a manner that is of public consequence and affect the community at large. When, therefore, one devotes his property to a use in which the public has an interest, he, in effect, grants to the public an interest in that use, and must submit to be controlled by the public for the common good to the extent of the interest he has thus created. He may withdraw his grant by discontinuing the use, but, so long as he maintains the use, he must submit to the control." Despite the judicial overruling of the Civil rights cases, by the U. S. Supreme Court, Justice Harlan's theory, above quoted, has been the guiding star for numerous states which have past decade have thrown a civil trial protectorate about their Negro citizen. The civil rights bills which insure to them the ordinary privileges visualized by Justice Harlan. And now comes Little Rhode Island with a civil rights bill, stopping discrimination in public places, and otherwise, against colored people. The bill has passed both houses and will probably be signed by Governor Pothier before this article reaches the reading public. It was fought vigorously, of course by the few who even in this enlightened age cannot see the wide difference between social equality and public liberty. It ran the gamut of lengthy debate, entailing logic and anti-logic. But upon the signature of the Governor, it safely follow in the wake of the Law bill of New York and similar bills in other states, which have shown their increasing civilization by endowing to establish for colored people the public courthouses, hostelries and public places of amusement frequently sought by the Negro, not because he desires social equality in its strict sense, but because, believing this country to be founded upon love and liberty, he seeks, in a personal way, the same comforts or recreation which go with the public interest affecting the community at large. Thousands of dollars have been asessed upon the judgment books on New York courts against ink-keepers restaurantateurs and theatre owners who have violated the terms of the Levy bill. The number of hard-head cases decreases yearly. And with the number of number comes a corresponding increase in the aspect of colored patrons as to whose realization is pervading the public mind that public association is a momentary one, based upon dollars and cents, and that social equality is a personal and private matter based upon individuals, whose minds must meet, before any social equation is perfected. In the meantime, the attack on Rhode Island who thus shows that she has become thoroughly thoughtful and has achieved in her herewardship over the citizens of the United States whose domain is bounded by her state lines. Birmingham Steel Festival On May 2, hundreds of Negro iron and steel workers in the Birmingham steel district held their May day festival. It was not a day of bombthrowing, agitation and unrest. Rather, it was a day of peace and thanksgiving fostered and promoted in behalf of the humble steel workers, who, having given their best efforts to their employers were deserving of a recreative celebration, which, more formalized their honest endeavors, and which bespoke the commendation of those steel interests which realize the worth of Negro labor and in recognizing it are willing to take a step forward in promoting its comfort and contentment. American labor is the most efficient labor in the world, and the American steel workers, of dark hue, at Birmingham, are as efficient as any similar group in the good old U. S. A. There is much cause for rejoicing that at least some of the American employer interests, such as Judge E. H. Gary and George Gordon Grawford, of the Tennessee Coal and Iron R. R. Co., who made this May's festival at the Birmingham Negro steel workers' reality, are realizing that a bird, in human civility, is worth two in the upon themselves, cordingly, took it upon themselves to celebrate the work attainments of the black men who puddle and refine the melting contents of the steel furnaces. It would be a good thing if such policies were emulated by certain other employers who think of themselves first and their work forces. Some American ideals could be made into realities if all American employer were successfully adopt the "American First" policy, and apply it indiscriminately to all American citizens. Sizingling steel has been an easy element for Negro labor to overcome, and there is no reason to believe that in any other industry the Negro worker would not be as much at home as he is in the steel mills. But there is more than mere work to produce a good product takes sympathy, encouragement, recreation and a pure heart. Then there must be added full opportunities such as American employers sing and pray about but walk by without speaking on the industrial pathway. If the word "Morale" ever meant anything, does in this modern day of industrial in the factory or in the field, color in the barn into labory by-products; American employers would take the world by the horns and say, "American labor, white and black, is going to receive the full benefits of our capital investment," the world would soon forget, nor would it even care, the kind of employer of workers, at one time tried to keep the bars up against Negro labor, consuming world would look at the workers. be satisfied. Cannot all American employers adopt that policy, now? A Landmark Passes—Staggering along under financial deficiencies, it is reported that the famous Lincoln Hospital, originally founded in New York city nearly eighty years ago for the exclusive enternal of Negro patients, is soon to close its doors. On the spacious triangle at 411st street and Southern boulevard, the Lincoln Hospital has administered comfort to the shocking pains of the afflicted, both white and black, for many, many years. We cannot repress a disconsoiante sigh at its walls, the Lincoln, for within its walls, so mother, we first saw the light of day. Eighteen years later, we affirmed one of Lincoln's cots, in old ward eight, for nearly three months. Significant in the history of Lincoln Hospital is the fact that for many years its entire nursing staff has been composed of splendid Negro women, who have entered the field of health service, well trained and full of the sacrificing spirit of Lincoln Hospital. The New York State requirements, always high, exacted the nurse trainees, technical training in chemistry and other difficult subjects in addition to the regular nursing curricula. Long before Freedom Hospital of Washington, and reached the present excellent standing. Lincoln Hospital was turning out negro nurses as efficient as any nurses in the land. Asked by Mrs. Adah P. Thomas, a national figure in the profession, we recall high commendations which have been paid to such graduates as Miss Anna Papino, now of Florida; Miss Ausley of Atlanta, Ga.; Miss Della M. Sandusky, of Kentucky; Miss Bessie V. Brown, of Wilmington, Del, and many of their associates who blazed the trail in expert nursing for nurses who were to follow in later years from other struggling hospitals. "Alas, though, it is said that "some sort of politics" is behind the prospective closing of Lincoln Hospital, which should be rightfully taken over by the city of New York. And we believe that if the right steps are taken through Mayor Hyland and the New York administration, the famous institution may not pass away." If the Democratic administration of the city of New York has any heart at all, here is a chance to prove it. Tom Lea's Cabin Tom Lea's Cabin, down on the Arkansas shore of the Mississippi River, was completed its humble but joyous Duty duty to the thirty survivors whom the gallant Negro boatman saved from the catastrophe which gave the steamer "Norman" on its trip up the river last Friday. In the booth house the water-scoaked travelers whom rescued, single-handedly, were given food, beds and shelter, and the chance to recover from their harrowing experience, when it seemed that the bottom of the Mighty Mississippi was holding its welcoming arms open to them. Tom Lea's Cabin, typical of the humble but cleanly Negro home of Arkansas and its sister southern states and of charity towards the distressed and under the pressure of critical moments, were danger, became living example of what may be termed enforced social order, in fact, it became a miniature hospital for the comfort of the afflicted with out regard to race or color Social equality, the sadly misunderstood buglehead of projectionists of raceil supremacy, was left sitting on the bench, while Tom Lea and his family went to the bat, with charity for all and malice toward none, administering to the Norman's survivors. Life is sweet. Life is wonderful; and when the grave yawns openly in the faces of either whites or blacks, those things make life sweet and wonderful come to mind without suggestion. There are many things down in the Districts where babies Tom Lea's Cabin would make life sweet and more wonderful to the thousands, to Tom Leas" of the Southland, who been forced into a life of semi-darkness by the buglehead of social equality. These submerged "Tom Leas" of pride and ambition, have long awaited the dawn of the day when advocates of supremacy, who have succeeded in keeping the Negro in his place by means of the social equality blindfold, would understand that social equality is individual and not a racial matter. To set it up against individuals is quite right and proper; to set it up against an anti-social group, sought to be oppressed because of color, is an act of gross ignorance and proof of indisputable bigamy. That it is a more smoke screen is amply proved by the increasing number of "human admixtures" in the territory where social equality is the misnamed test of civilization. Duplicates of Tom Lea's cabin on the Mississippi may be found all over the Southland, full of Christian love because apart from the freedom of America times as scourges and depression host the oppressors, when misery is not at all perceptible the company it keeps. We are grateful to God for the continuing lives of the souls whom Tom Les rescued from the muddy Mississippi; for we are optimistic that they will carry back to the humble Negro home the tales of the charity which they received in the home of the humble Negro home; for cherish their message will stimulate empathy and meekness in the hearts of many who use social equality as ballast for Opportunity, Justice and Love.
