The Washington Bee DIGTHEIROWNGRAVES --- COLLEGE FLUNKERS AFTER OFFICE A SCATHING REBUKE BY EDMONSON. VOL. XLI. NO. 9 DIG COLLEGE FLUNKE A SCATHING RE SON. "WEAKNESSES OF THE NEGRO COLLEGES." Place Hunters in the Limelight— What the White Race Has Done. Last week I endeavored to help you to counteract the sinister aim of the article in The Crisis for July, signed by G. David Houston, a colored graduate of Harvard University (white), wherein an attack is made on the existing systems of higher education for colored youth, the attack being attended with steps calculated to engender and promote race suspicion, and to discredit the benefits of religious teaching. The article is entitled "Weaknesses of the Negro College." This article affords no instruction whatever, and serves no useful purpose whatever. By reason of its respectable fathering and wide publicity, it is calculated to do incalculable injury to Negro education and damage to the colored race. I deny pointblank that the article reflects the views and attitude of the colored people, or those of the South. The colored people generally will pay no attention to the Houston fulmination except to view it as a curiosity. They are harder-headed than the canny Scot when it comes to a question of their interest. They know who their friends are, and they love their real friends as strongly as they hate their real enemies. They know about the importance of the theory and practice of religion. They have a keen sense of humor when estimating self-appointed spokesmen of the Houston type. I have conversed with a number of persons about The Crisis article, and the unanimous opinion expressed has been to the effect: "He doesn't know what he's talking about" or "Bosh!" The colored people must be concerned about the impression this Crisis article is calculated to make on the good Christian philanthropists of the North white folk who have in the past and are continuing to do so much to promote and improve Christian education and the most approved culture among the colored people. I propose to show why the colored people will not follow. The Crisis movement. I submit the following propositions: First. The movement referred to is the movement of a few irresponsible soreheads, or self-seekers. I could call several by name. Second, Mr. Houston's personal anger and animus is being utilized by a group of seekers of college presidencies and professorships for the purpose of enlarging their field of opportunity. Third. These conspirators have probably only a conditional design to destroy or weaken the Negro colleges, notwithstanding surface indications, because their hopes of honors and ducats are bound up in the continuance of those colleges and their bountiful endowments. Their tactics are to be accounted for on the ground of assininity or a mild dementia. Fourth. The colored people perfectly understand the motive and purpose of the Northern white people in establishing Christian Negro colleges. They approve that motive and purpose and consider the bargain an advantageous one. To say the least, they recognize that they have no right or power to dictate in the matter, even if they wished to do so. Fifth. The colored people thoroughly appreciate that, unaided, they are unable to found and support "their own colleges" in sufficient number and excellence to meet the urgent needs of the present or near future. Sixth. In advance of some sort of a referendum no person or small group of persons is competent to speak for the colored people on the questions stated or insinuated in The Crisis article. Seventh. The foundation of colored culture as it exists in the United States today is due primarily to the Negro institutions established by Northern white people. The necessary initial cultural work of such institutions is not only not yet completed, but has never been adequately begun. For instance, there has never been a real colored university, and there is need for several. Some such culture, especially in recent years, has come direct from other sources, but the exceptions only tend to prove the general rule. [Note. — Washington City has drawn for colored teachers more largely on Northern white colleges, on the probable theory that the Northern colleges, being wholly taught by whites and having a minimum of colored atmosphere, are more likely to turn out a superior product. Certainly the factor of having been taught or not having been taught exclusively by white professors is accorded a great weight in the rating of a colored applicant's prospective value as a teacher in the Washington colored schools. I have no doubt that Mr. Houston owes his present position in the Dunbar High School (colored) of Washington to this theory. If Mr. Houston avows this theory, as apparently he does, he ought to stick to it consistently, whether it favors his private interest or the interest of the students at Howard. How can it be that studying under all white professors is best at Harvard and under all colored professors is best at Howard, for a colored youth who seeks "the approach to manhood"? Of course, Professor Houston can explain this. Let him do it, but not by blowing hot and colt out of the same mouth.] Eighth (not a proposition). As I proceed I will attempt to give such characterizations to these propagandists as will tend to show that some of them, to say the least, do not possess the academic equipment or moral fitness or social constructiveness to entitle them to the special or exclusive preferment that they seek. I can not take up these topics in an orderly manner because I am compelled to hunt here and there for a point worth noticing in the Houston article. It is an incoherent hotch-potch—an olla podrida in composition and odor. "Eye of newt and toe of frog, Wool of bat and tongue of dog." Now, let us brush aside some of Mr. Houston's mutually contradictory assumptions about white teachers. As already intimated, it seems absurd to assume that a white professor in a Negro college is more likely to point a colored student to "the back door of approach to manhood" than is a white professor in a white college. As for academic and moral equipment to teach, it is a commonly conceded that numerous white professors in Negro colleges have been and are singularly able, some great. I point to Armstrong, of Hampton; Patton and Rankin, of Howard; Cravath, of Fisk; Ware and Bumsted, of Atlanta. As for salary inducement, it is ridiculous to insinuate that such men chose their calling merely for support. In former days the pay of the highest paid of them was insignificant. President Cravath got $1,800, with subsistence and quarters. Professor Helen C. Morgan, famous teacher of Latin at Fisk, mentioned in the Cyclopedia of American Biography, got $720. These are typical WASHINGTON, D.C. SATURDAY, JULY 31, 1920 salaries. In addition, the teachers got travel cost to and from their Northern homes once a year. Mr. Houston goes out of his way sneeringly to intimate that white teachers in Negro colleges are without social cast. A rash statement! The men mentioned above were received in select social circles in the North and abroad. Many of the teachers under them had distinguished family connections. The sons and daughters of not a few of those presidents and professors are today eminent in different walks of life and are among social leaders. President Thirkield was taken from Howard to be a bishop in the Methodist Church. I know a number of instances of white professors teaching in white colleges who formerly taught in colored schools. There is a reason. It has always been the policy to engage white teachers of the highest type for teachers in the colored colleges conducted by whites. A similar policy has obtained in the army as to the assignment of officers to colored regiments. An evidence of the efficiency of such officers is the fact that in proportion to their number more of them have attained high grades of rank in the army than any others. The obvious fact is that the professors for those colleges and the officers for those regiments have always been picked men. In order the better to estimate a human action—step, avowed view, proposition, piece of advice—it is always well to seek the motive. It is a matter of common report that Professor Houston is sore on Howard University because not long ago he was separated from that institution as a professor. Bear in mind that he was there a first year and then a second year; maybe a third year—no matter. In that time he was under observation, of course; all professors are. We are familiar with the parable of the unfruitful big tree, in Luke 13:8, that the lord of the vineyard would fain cast out, but the vinedresser pleaded for to try it another year, saying: "Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about, and —— about it." Which, being interpreted, means that the lords (trustees) and the vinedresser (president) of Howard "did seek fruit on this fig tree," a grown-up tree, for one or two or three years, and then—no; did not cut it down, but generously let it be transplanted. It is now under observation in a neighboring vineyard. A separation from a position is sometimes vulgarly called "firing." Firing is often attended by an effort on the part of the person separated to orientate or readjust himself. By reason of anger and difficulty, the effort is sometimes frantic, or attended with symptoms of dementia. Dementia often causes incoherent speech, exacerbations, frothings at the mouth, and queer bodily capers among which have been known the absurd feat of attempting to shoulder one's own body and the exposing of the person. Because good administration often, makes a separation necessary and because the resulting phenomena have a natural psychological cause, it is meet to regard with complacency and charity such exhibitions. The Houston article speaks throughout of "the Negro college" in connection with the phrase "his own college," but it is careful to avoid the explicit assertion that these two terms are identical. This is studied obscurity, shifffiness. 'It reminds me of the singsong of the shellgame man: "Now you see it; now you don't see it." If you think you see it, and say so, he says: "You made a mistake." There are about thirty-three Negro colleges in this country, some say. Of these the colored people themselves own, and control about six, some of which are insignificant. The largest is Wilberforce. About twenty-seven of these thirty-three colleges are owned, controlled and supported by white people. These colleges are for the Negro, but not a single one of them is "his own college." However, there is just one of these, Howard, that remotely falls under the Houstonian definition of "his own college," by which he means a college for colored youth, having some colored trustees and professors and partly supported by the colored people; and, I may add, mainly controlled by colored people. If Mr. Houston has Howard solely in his mind throughout his long-and labored article, why in the name of Heaven did he not say so at the beginning, and then proceed to speak to the point? By the everyday test Howard is perhaps a "Negro's own college," but I question that it is such in the strictly legal sense. My impression is that it is non-racial, non-sectarian, cosmopolitan. Professor Houston intimates that Howard is controlled by a small number of colored trustees who are not a majority of the board; in other words, that it is colored-controlled. If so, this is probably not by reason of any provision in the charter; it is because the white trustees graciously acquiesce in this, which in turn is because they concede the fitness of the thing. But all this does not legally make Howard for the colored man "his own college," or to the extent that justifies Mr. Houston in making the demands he makes. So we see that the only colleges to which Mr. Houston's contention could apply are the six small colored-owned and colored-controlled colleges aforementioned; but these are not the colleges the crafty pamphleer is talking about. See what we see by this reductio ad absurdum. The Crisis for July, in which the Houston article is printed, is called an "educational number." The Houston article is followed by one, signed by M. G. Allison, entitled "The Year in Negro Education," which latter article is essentially the record and glorification of the fact that in 1920 about 100 colored youth were graduated from Northern white colleges. Scant notice is taken of 540 colored youth who the same year were graduated from Negro colleges. These are not scholars, forsooth. The Negro scholar, in the Houstonian sense, is evidently the colored graduate of a Northern white college. The Allison article apparently accepts this definition. In conception, spirit and purpose the two articles are Arcades ambo, peas in a pod. The facts, the circumstances noted and other facts that have come to my notice constrain me to the conviction that, as heretofore rumored, someone is ruminating a cult and staging a movement. Perhaps this someone, some master mind, soliloquizes in the words of Richard III: "Plots have I laid, inductions dangerous, by drunken prophecies, wiles and dreams, to set my brother Clarence and the King in deadly hate, the one against the other." The suspicion to which I allude will be divulged some future day, perhaps next week. R. C. Edmondson. Washington, July 24, 1920. SCOUTS' CAMP TO OPEN ON SATURDAY. The Colored Boy Scouts of Washington will leave their respective troop headquarters for Camp Dunbar on Saturday morning, July 31. They will go to Glenarden, Md., for a two weeks' stay, returning August 14. Any duly registered Scout wishing to enroll for camp the second week may do so by applying to his Scoutmaster or at the Boy Scout Headquarters in the Y. M. C. A. A large number of boys have already declared their intention to be present by enrolling. Camp Dunbar is located on a hill overlooking the surrounding country. It is truly an ideal place for a camp. Visitors are welcome at any time. Camp Dunbar may be reached by taking a local W. B. and A. car and getting off at Glenarden, Md., three miles from the District line. The roster of officers in charge of camp includes Charles A. Marshall, camp director, assisted by Samuel Z. C. Westerfield, Norman Kaiser, Walter Watkins, Clarence C. Brooks, C. A. Watkins and others. "SOME WILD OATS" AT THE HOWARD. "Some Wild Oats" is coming to the Howard Theatre. One doesn't have to work one's imagination greatly while watching a screening of "Some Wild Oats" to get the full meaning of the picture's various scenes. Likewise, after seeing it, it would be a pretty dull mind that didn't comprehend that the wages of sin are, indeed, death, or something worse—certain forms of sin, anyway. The picture is to be shown in separate screenings for audiences of men and women. In one respect it does speak more plainly than the other pictures on this subject shown here during the war, except that perhaps some of the lessons taught are a trifle more gruesome. It recounts the experiences of one young countryman who enlisted for naval service but who determined to have his fling before binding himself for a term of years to his country's needs. He sought aid from a friend who had traveled the glittering path and met misfortune on the way. When efforts on the part of the friend failed to dissuade the country boy from his purpose, when even a recounting of the friend's bitter experience failed to turn him, the friend determined he should be saved. His methods for doing this make one side of the screen story. Suffice it to say that he was saved. But the story of the man who had none to warn him is told in a series of torturing pictures. A story of long years spent in a fight for rehabilitation, of a young girl's life brought to the verge of ruin, it is a story to make even the most casual thinker pause—this screen drama of the social evil and its far-reaching effects on society. There are comforting pictures that tell what effort is being made by the Government to stamp out this scourge and pointing how the Government, with all its kindly purpose, can win to success only by the cooperation of people themselves. "Some Wild Oats" is no picture for a nervous woman to watch. It is not a picture that young girls or boys under 17 should see. It is, however, a picture that any normal-minded man or woman may see and glean therefrom enlightenment. It is an education along a line which is kept too much in the dark. August 9 and 11 shows will be run for women; August 10 and 12 for men. Judge Hardison's Warning to Solicitors—Imprisonment and Fine or Both—Policemen and Others Are Warned. Cappers in and around the Police Court were given a warning Monday by Judge Hardison in the United CUDLEY-MURRAY UNITED OFEERS YOU AN OPPORE The Biggest Pa in the OUR REPRESENTATIVE WILL CUDLEY-MURRAY UNITED THEATRE CORPORATION OFEERS YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO INVEST IN The Biggest Paying Business in the World OUR REPRESENTATIVE WILL CALL AT YOUR REQUEST PHONE - NORTH - 1031 --- Chas. E. Lane, Jr. States Branch of the Police Court. Judge Hardison spoke with some feeling and declared that no citizen ought to employ a lawyer who is brought him by a solicitor. Judge Kimball had the same trouble with certain cappers when he was presiding in the Police Court. Not only was he bothered with certain lawyers, but there were professional cappers and solicitors in and around the courts. Many of them may be seen walking from Fifth to Sixth streets every morning before court opens. Judge Hardison gave further warning to certain employees of the court and members of the police department, who, he said, had been reported to him to be acting as agents for the lawyers in question. The latter activities, he said, had been called to his attention "by rumor and otherwise." Any specific cases in the future, he promised, would be at once investigated and any employee found guilty would be immediately discharged. Arraigns Client Seekers. The court pointed out that it was highly proper for an employee to aid a person in trouble, but that this assistance could be extended in a legitimate and dignified manner. He was careful to affirm his belief that the great majority of lawyers practicing in Police Court would not stoop to solicit business and that the practice complained of was limited to a few. "If the person so solicited," said Judge Hardison, "has the proper amount of judgment, he or she will be immediately convinced by the very fact of such solicitation that the attorney guilty of such a thing is the last attorney who should have the case. A lawyer is an officer of the court, and the court has full power to stop such practices. Judge McMahon and I have agreed that we will stop them. "Of course, it is not at all improper for an employee of the court to aid a person in trouble, but that can be done in a dignified and legitimate manner and must be so done if the public is to respect the machinery of justice. Another thing that has come to my attention, through rumor and otherwise, is the alleged habit of certain policemen to work under an agreement with certain lawyers to direct clients to them for a money consideration. This practice will not be tolerated either." Judge Hardison did not indicate what sort of punishment he would mete out to the offenders, but intimated that it would be heavy. Judge Hardison could go further into the matter to certain station houses, where most of the "capping" may be found. There are certain plain-clothes men whose stock in trade is to cap for certain white lawyers, who are notified the moment a prisoner enters the station, and these white lawyers are right on the job. How do they know if they are not given a tip? Judge Hardison is sincere in his observations, and it is the duty of the honest lawyers to assist the court in breaking up this illegal practice.

DEPARTMENTS ALREADY ESTABLISHED PRESIDENT JAMES E. SHEPARD, DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS By the Sage of the Potomac. I have been amused for some time: I was talking to Geo. W. Taylor the other day, and you know how much bull he can give.you and at the same time draw the coin right out of your pocket. George is some diplomat, notwithstanding his close-fisted proclivities. Now, did I say close-fisted? He is anything but that. I did not gauge him correctly. Speaking about his knowledge of jewelry, he knows the metal. His only fault is that his friend's take advantage of his liberality. They want to make presents, but he is compelled to shoulder the responsibility. Now, if you want to hear politics discussed, you should drop in on the tonsorial artist in True Reformers' Hall. Of course, Will Kennedy holds the floor. He is the speaker of the house, and when he opens his mouth all hands must be quiet. Will is some artist. He has a chip on his shoulders all the time. They don't come too large for him. I called on Tom Jones the other day to ascertain just when he will transfer his law library to some other burg. Old man just wants his stand to increase the display of ladies' goods, but Jones insists on postponing his case before the Rent Commission. Mr. Just says that he has some lawyer who will compel this ebony Blackstone to transfer his law library, but Jones declares that there is no law in the books that can compel him to transfer his Blackstone to some undesirable spot. The Rent Commission has not had time to listen to his case as yet, and when it does somebody will let the fur fly. Mr. Just declares that he has a suit of clothes to give Jones in the event his are taken off at the hearing by the Rent Commission. The manager and his helper declare that the day the case comes up for trial the house will be closed to enable the help to testify that Mr. Just is absolutely in need of 616 D street; that his increased business in ladies' apparel compels him to serve notice on the lawyer to transfer his library. Of course, there are three stories to this joint, but there is one good thing. Mr. Just will do, and that is a small room in the joint will be dedicated to Thomas Lucullus. Jones in commemoration of his thirty-five years of tenancy in this burg. Jones has been practicing twenty-five years or more and was twenty-five when he graduated. Now, how old does this make Jones? I shall ask Armond Scott for the answer. Perhaps Armond may decline to give the answer. However, I shall ask him, at any rate. Jones and Scott are frequently divorced and married within two weeks after the court has signed the decree. The present separation took place during the Republican convention in Chicago. Jones was in Chicago and so was Scott. Bob Miller and Bradshaw tried to put one over on Scott, but they failed. Scott told the Committee on Credentials something. He was one individual who did not bite his tongue. Galliher was told a thing or two. Well, this hand-picked delegation and organization certainly did play some politics. This is what you call taking the pot before your eyes and you helpless to resist the force. Of course, Tom Jones says it was done so easy! \*\*\* A careful perusal of the Cleveland Advocate suggests that the colored brothers out there in the Harding-Cox State are on the war path, and Republican leaders are much disturbed. The Advocate continues to publish hot editorials, and because of its great influence with the race out there, Harding managers, it is said, are gravely concerned. *** Ralph Tyler has showed himself to be a bigger man than his enemies considered him by championing the cause of Harry C. Smith, candidate for Secretary of State, because Smith is a colored man, although Smith has for years been attacking him without cause. No call has come as yet to Harry Clark to get into the campaign. Harry is willing to orate, write stuff for a campaign book, or tack up lithographs and pass literature, if only he can get on the payroll. **** It looks from this point of view, which is at 1109. I street northwest, this city, that the fight being planned against President Durkee, of Howard, by a lot of disgruntles will, like a cigar, just go up in smoke. *** When I hear of colored men in different parts of the country writing Harding that they will deliver him a couple of million or so of colored votes, I am reminded of the fellow who once gave away that which was not his to give. One fellow down in New York sent Harding word that the 300,000 colored votes he controlled were his. "Who's loony now?" *** The passing of President Scarborough as president of Wilberforce recalled to a bunch of fellows talking at the corner of U and Eleventh streets last Tuesday evening that Scarborough once tried to get Taft to remove Ralph Tyler, and that at the time Tyler remarked he would get Scarborough if it took the rest of his life. It was said that Tyler never suspected Scarborough was against him, having no reason to be, until Major Brooke, meeting Tyler on the street one day, said Taft had said to him: "Brooks, what's the matter with Tyler?" Brooks replied: "Nothing. I think Tyler is all right." To which Taft replied: "So do I. He is one of the best auditors in the department. Why does Scarborough keep on writing me to dismiss him?" Some time ago the Cleveland Advocate opened up on Wilberforce, demanding that both Scarborough and Joiner be removed. It was so strong that the legislature was forced to or der an investigation, and the result of it is that both Scarborough and Joiner are now out of their jobs. Ralph was always long on both sticking to friends and fighting enemies to the last ditch. Said a prominent A. M. E. man, who was among the bunch talking last Tuesday evening: "I guess now Scarborough wishes he had never started a fight on Tyler." **** One of the brightest internes that has ever entered Freedmen's Hospital is Armen Evans. He is a graduate of Western University Medical School in Ohio. He is a sedate, quiet young man, who will be heard from one of these days in the medical profession. *** Dave Houston, "the moving educator," had better stick to his knitting, that of teaching at Dunbar, and forget that stuff about getting President Durkee out. It will be a mansize job, to have President Durkee removed—too big a job for Houston to achieve. --- Tom Jones is ready and willing to campaign any place, and if called, Tom will arouse the natives with his oratory. There are few speakers who can enthuse a mixed audience on the political hustings like Tom. *** If this, old town had a few more men like John Lewis, president of the Industrial Savings Bank, colored people here would be so far advanced in a business way that other Villages would never catch up. The selection of Link Johnson as director to manage colored voters in this campaign has stirred up a hornet's nest among colored voters down East and in the West. Just down East and in the West. Just gone down to Georgia for a " $9,000 peach" to tell colored voters how to vote puzzles the boys, and some of them have been reported to have said that if Link is to control them they won't play. It will not do to have colored voters sulk in their tents this year. The campaign will be too hot and may be too close for that. Of course, Henry Slaughter is "delighted" with Link Johnson's selection—"nif." If you want Link's history and a full report on his favorite stunt of hedging and dodging, camouflaging and romancing, see Henry. I learn that Gilchrict Stewart is to be Link's right bower. I wonder how this strikes my old friend Fred Moore, of the New York Age. Bet it's a bitter pill for Fred to swallow. If I could buy Gilchrist at the figure he thinks he is worth and sell him at what he is actually worth, I would have more money than John Rockefeller. Roscoe Simmons, I suppose, will also be one of Link's lieutenants. "Birds of a feather always flock together."

WASHINGTON, D. C., JULY 31, 1920. ] LINCOLN JOHNSON’S DESIGNATION, Phe activities of Fenry Lincoln Johnson in the campaign now in.progress will be a matter of interest to all Negroes North anc South who vote the Republican ticket. He was elected National Committeeman for the State of Georgia by the vote of a majority of the delegates from Georgia attending the National Convention at Chicago. .Ilis lection gave great offense to the delegates “from many of the Northern, Eastern and Western States, due mainly and principally to the fact that he had been the recipient and distributor of a considerable sum of money to'promote the candidacy of one of ., the leading competitors for the Republican nomination. His un- acceptibility in the eyes of many: delegates from Republicari States was further accentuated by the fact that the rumor had gained currency that Johnson had agreed to forego election to the ‘National . Committee .in consideration for the committee’s seating his delega- tion, and after the committee seated his delegation he repudiated thé alleged understanding. * eae Recently it has been.announced that’ Johnson was appointed by’ National Chairman Hays to have charge of the campaign as it affects’ Negro voters. Outside of Johnson's ‘personality, there appear at least two, if not more, reasons why this plan should not stand. The first reason is that Johnson is needed ‘in Georgia. The Republican party in that State is in a dying condition. “In 1896, the year in which Judson W. Lyons was elected National Commit- teeman from Gegoria, the Republican vote for McKinley was 60,091, and in 1916 the Republican vote for Hughes was 11,225. ° More than | half of Hughes’ vote was cast in two congressional districts.’ Ac- cording to these figures, the dying rate of the Republican: party in Georgia is about 12,000 between presidential elections. It would seem to a‘rational man that Johnson’s mission in the Republican party is to restore the party in Georgia to the numerical strength it had when Lyons was elected National Committeeman. In the next place, it is hardly to be beliéved that the colored vote in the North will be satisfied. with carpet-bag direction and con- trol, especially in view of the fact that there are so many-men in their own group who have Northern ideals and in equipmient .of eyery kind are the equals, if-not the superiors, of Johnson. As to the colored people who have migrated to the North‘from the South, it will be their duty. to assimilate themselves to Northern ‘Ways of ‘thinking and acting‘as soon as possible ;- and one'of the ways to do this will be to follow Northern leadership, or rather leadership that is native or has become assimilated to the native conditions. And, then, a possible third season. is the segregation element Suggested by the whole matter. It is hardly to be imagined that politicians, hungry for “pie,” will be governed by considerations of | the moral and idealistic type. But these considerations should be set forth at any rate. There are a number of indications that the Republican party is bending toward the segregation. theory and practice. One isthat the party had a segregated division at national headquarters during the Hughes campaign; another is that no col- ored. man ‘was placed on the committée to notify either nominee. And now, if we have Mr. Johnson, with his segregated bureau, it will be so easy for Mr. Harding, if elected, to transplant the machine into the existing institution of segregation in the Federal service. The whole thing has an ugly, forbidding look, and for the reasons given, and many held ‘in reserve, we hope the thing will come to nothing. - ‘ CARDINAL GIBBONS. one churchman in this country who believe: manity to man.

On all public questions relating to Church and State, Cardinal Gibbons is that man. It was. through him and the Catholic Church: that the colored people enjoy the free exercise of the elective. franchise ‘in the State of Maryland today. The Democratic party in the State, in conjunction with a few hypocritical Republicans, conspired to disfranchise colored Amer- icans, but this great and good churchman appealed to the mem- bers’ of ‘the Catholic Church and declared that. the colored people were human and had the same right to exercise the right of fran- chise and enjoy freedom just as much as any, other American citizens. .The defeat of the amendment to disfranchise the colored voters‘in’ Maryland is due to the Catholic: Church and the progres- siveness and determination of the colored representatives and the colored press. The colored people in the city of Baltimore, Md., are moré progressive and:more manly than in any other State and city in the Union. The white citizens of Maryland—and more par- ticularly the Catholic Church—believe in humanity to man. RACE-ADIUSTMENT EXPERTS. We have a superabundance of race-adjustment experts. The re- cent article in the Crisis on “Weaknesses of the Negro-Colleges” is one proof of it. . The author of it is one of these experts. There are more, of such colored experts than white ones. There are not so many Gradys and Tilimans now as formerly, but the number of Wooker Bashingtons and Melly Killers and Belly Fillers is on the "increase. : : A race-adjuster ought to be a man who-adjusts races ora race. The experts do nothing of the kind. ‘The Crisis article adjusts nothing. The Bee offers $1,000 reward for proof of a single instance of a‘race problem solved or a race adjustment made by a self- appointed race-adjustment expert. The race-adjuster—for instance, Mr. Houston—is ‘usually ignorant of the fundamental laws of, social- progress, and this is one reason why the adjuster always “falls: down” in his march—I should say, parade! He regards the social machine either from a distance with myopic vision, or from near with bad perspective, or he sees only a single side of the machine or a small part of it. On the meager | data thus gotten he proceeds to advise and act—a blind leader. Of course, his advice or his action, as the case may: .be, is barren of useful result. * . It is noteworthy, also, that the tyro race-adjuster advises or acts upon a faulty ‘sense of valucg. The fly-speck’on the wall of the mill is more important in his estimation than a failure of the wheat sup- ply or the financial solveney of the Cooperative Grist Mill. What the colofed people specially néed today is expert advice and sang leadership touching ways and means to economic man- hood. -At least..they ought to be less pestered, less distracted, and less diverted. from following their natural bent in the direction of objects essential; ought to have some protection from the intermin- able empty talk and drivel of race-adjustment experts on iniconse- ‘quential topics, subtopics—fly-specks.” . | Houstén’s article opens with the bombastic flourish: “Reconstruc-_ tion is the watchword of the age!” This excites the .reader’s inter- est, for it seems a novel, idea. The reader experience$ the lively expectation that something epochal is in’ store. He expects the author to march along the Grand Boulevard to the Arch of Triumph as he chants ‘Io triompho.”. Alas!- The parader turns from the boulevard into a cow-path, riext.turns into a sheep-path, next turns into a squirrel-trace. and up a tree, where, still chanting “To triom- pho,” he gravely points to a-knothole—or maybe it is a fly-speck. We are getting tired and sick of this sort of string. \Our news- papers and magazines give too’ much prominence to it. ; “Reconstruction is the watchword of the age’—Houston. But this is also the age of organizations. The National Assdciation for the Advancement ‘of the Colored People: (the N. A.

The: Republican candidate for the presidency, Mr.. Harding, has stated his individual and personal belief as ‘to. lynching and the rights of “the Negro citizens of America” in terms which cannot fail to ‘give satisfaction to Negro yoters throughout the land. . In his speech of acceptance-at Marion, July 22, speaking of lynch- ing, Mr. Harding said: * “I believe the Federal government should stamp out lynching and remove that stain from the fair name of America.” s _«. This.is a step in advance of the plank in the Republican platform and is far and away more satisfactory than the platform formula. Mr. Harding states a cofclusion, while the platform only states a method. “ . . As to the rights of the Negro in general, Mr.‘Harding gave forth an ‘expression which in form and substance will be quoted with én- thusiasm and approval in thousands of speeches and at gatherings innumerable and of all kinds, throughout all the land. The words are as follows: % 7 “I believe the Negro citizens of America should be guaranteed the enjoyment of all their rights; that they have earned ‘the full measure of citizenship bestowed; that their sacrifices in blood on the battlefields of the Republic’have entitled them to all of freedom and opportunity, all of sympathy and aid that the American spirit of fairness and justice demands.” . 7 So far as we'can recall, this is the first time in forty years that a Republican candidate for the presidency, or, the presidential candi- date of ary other party, has dealt with the rights of the Negro in an acceptance address or letter. Mr. Harding makes a good beginning and puts’ himself in.adyance of his party, just as McKinley's color- sergeant at Lookout Mountain put himself in advance of the regi- mient; and the party will have to come up to the candidate, as the regiment had to come up to-the colors. ; . “WILSON LEE CARY. DEAD. A telegram was ‘received July 20 by Mr. John: H. Paynter announcing the death of an old shipmate and friend, Wilson Lee Cary, of Spring- field, Ohio. : Mr. and Mrs. Cary were members of the Pastor Russell Bible Student Class of Detroit when living in that city, and on moving to Spring- field were the only two colored mem- bers. < % In speaking of the passing of. this friend and. the trip to Springfield, Mr. Paynter said: | “The efficacy of the Bible Student faith and its practical demonstration of **= theory of universal: brother- hood could not have been more force- fully exemplified than through the active sympathy and solicitude with which they surrounded Brother Cary during his illness and which followed him to the brink.of the open grave in beautiful Ferncliff Cemetery and: be- yond which, as ‘Brotherhood’ Mar- tin affirmed in his closing prayer. it was ‘humanly impossible to go.’”. Mr. Paynter. has much satisfaction that after a separation of twenty- seven ‘years they were able to renew their former intimate association through his visit last September at Cary’s home. .

That concrete roadway was laid over two years ago. Whether you asked for it or not, it is quite an improvement to your property. Pay your assessment or lose your property. Let those citizens who desire to contest the payment try a law suit against the District of Columbia. Remember, Sixteenth street northwest was at one time practically owned by our race. Some busybodies told many of them not to pay their taxes or special assessments, and the result has been that Sixteenth street now is owned by another people. Services at the Stanton Avenue C. M. E.

Gerry was one of the members who had voted against Mr Thurston. She was one of his’ main stays: she was‘one of his lieutenants __ She was one of the members ‘on whon ‘he'at all times-had counted, as show: by the testimony. That condition ha prevailed for along time. She’ wa one of the members who, after th regular meetings of the board, woul quietly retire to some little anteroon and, with thtee or. four other mem bers, the dominant faction, there in * secret council, in a stat-chamber pro ~ ceeding, would talk over certain mat ters and adopt certain policies. ‘Sh never failed to be there in’ that litt! - clique unless she was preventéd eithe . by sickness or some unexplained ci - cumstances. * . . So he natutally thought when h was telling who was against -Thurs ton’s reappointment in 1917 that Mr: Gerry was surely one of(the partie: She became so enamored of the. qua! . ifications of Van Schaick as the presi dent of that board that in: 1918, whil Van Schaick was in Europe and ha _been for more than a year, and th election of a president of the. boar came up,.and every other member c _ *.the board was in favor of electing M Hamilton, she raised her voice in pro-. test and communicated with Van Sthaick in Europe to obtain his views and ascertain the bent of his mind. Let me read just a little of ther tes- timony to ‘show how slie felt. certain members stood as between Thurston and Van' Schaick or about any matter that might arise: * °* * *°* * So she at-all ‘times’ knew how the board stood in all these matters, and it’ was not necessary to fix anything. They were already fixed. Now, I want to talk’about another member of the board; Dr. Johnson. Dr. Johnson knows -just about’ as inuch about the ‘school system of Washington, as he does about’. the nebular hypothesis. He has.conferred so much .with Dr, Van Schaick and other: members“of the board who are ‘opposed: ‘to Thurston that when he started to talk he spoke like a parrot and employed practically the same ianguage as had been used by his con- federates who had preceded’him. “May I quote part of his testimony?. He said he went on the board prejudiced against Bruce.. Then’ the following gecurred: “* * * 8 * Although Johnson had sat at thes | hearings for almost three weeks, whe: ‘|e testified,.had heard the exaniina ‘I tions of the witnesses, and ‘knew-th * character’ of “questioning which we ‘had put to the witnesses, he testified "as follows: . * ; “Well, out of the mass of detail o * thé Board of Education that we ha ‘to deal with at évery meeting, I coul 1 not pick ‘out particular things.

NATIONAL BAPTISTS HOLD A VICTORY SESSION Columbus, Ohio (Reciprocal News Service)—With almost complete arrangements of plans to be announced, the local ministers here are waiting simply for the time to arrive when they are to entertain the National Baptist Convention that is to be held in this city September 8-13. It is to be designated as the Victory Session of the convention, which is almost a half century old. The term "Victory" originated down in Sunny Tennessee and will commemorate the splendid victories won by the Negro Baptists in six different law suits. It was the Baptist State Convention of Tennessee that first conceived the idea of a victory session, and in the meeting here this year, in which every State in the Union, as well as Canada, Mexico, South and Central America will be represented, they hope to take this slogan and make it stand out as one of the principal features. President Edw. P. Jones, who passed Ohio on his way to the Atlantic Coast to deliver a series of lectures, declared it would be the banner year for the Baptists and that the Buckeye State would roll up a big delegation. The very fact that this is the capital city of Ohio and perhaps about as centrally located as any city that could be selected north of the Ohio River, means much for a large attendance. Already reduced round-trip rates have been applied for, and the railroads, in keeping with their well-laid plans, have announced they will give to religious bodies the one-and-one-third fare for the round trip on the certificate plan. The Ohio Baptist Convention is to cooperate with the National Baptist Convention. Revs. Hughes, Davis and others of the city have asked the citizens of Columbus to throw their homes open for the entertainment of the delegates. NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE.

WELTERS TOOTH POWDER CO., INC. TO BE ERECTED IN BALTIMORE, MD. THE E. A. WELTERS TOOTH POWDER COMPANY. Incorporated five years ago with a capitalization of $5,000 with stock sold at $10.00 per share, is now a corporation capitalized at $100,000.00 with NO SHARES FOR SALE AT ANY PRICE, yet it is understood that a small number of shares have been donated by some of the larger stockholders for certain Dentists and Druggists whose names have already been listed, and will be called on personally in the near future by the President of the Company. The Dentists and Druggists who will be solicited were selected by the Directors of the Company because of their progressiveness and the great advertising value that their connection will mean in the distribution of this exceptional dentifrice to the race throughout the United States. The demand for the Welters' Tooth Powder has grown so tremendously during the past six months, since advertising in the Chicago Defender, that their manufacturing facilities are entirely too limited, and has forced the management to make immediate arrangements for their larger plant, to be erected in Baltimore, to properly care for the increased business. Not only in the United States has the demand greatly increased, but in England, France, Cuba, British Indies, and other foreign points. the reception to be tendered the officers and members of the national organization by the Robert Curtis Ogden Association in University Hall of the John Wanamaker Mercantile Emporium. Mr. Ogden, for whom the association is named, was for many years one of the partners of Mr. Wanamaker. He was deeply interested in the educational and business development of the Negro people. Often he headed pilgrimages to the South in the interest of the education of all the children of the South, black and white alike. The Program—2 p. m., Charles H. Brooks, chairman, presiding: "America," band and audience; invocation, Rev. William A. Harrod; welcome remarks, John W. Love, president of the Robert Curtis Ogden Association; response, Robert S. Jackson, member of the National Executive Committee; "Barber of Seville" (Rossini), Robert Curtis Ogden Band. Short addresses will be made by Charles Banks, Mound Bayou, first vice-president; Bishop Robert E. Jones, New Orleans, chairman executive committee; Fred R. Moore, New York, vice-president; Emmett J. Scott, Washington, D. C., secretary. Miss Io Maude Brown will render "Inflammatus," with band accompaniment; remarks, Dr. R. R. Moton president; closing remarks, John Wanamaker; exit march, "Stars and Stripes Forever" (Sousa).

Grinnell. The opening session of the league will be held in the new Dunbar Theatre, while the first evening session will be held in the Academy of Music. Word has been received to the effect that delegates from Florida, Alabama, Georgia and other Southern States are to assemble in Savannah and proceed under escort of the Savannah Negro Business League to Philadelphia. Mr. L. E. Williams, president of the Wage Earners' Savings Bank, Savannah, Ga., in a letter to Dr. Scott, secretary of the league, says that Savannah is planning to bring two cars of delegates, and these, together with other delegates from nearby States, will make a solid train of Business League representatives from the far South.
