The Representation National Association Appears HEARING BEFORE CENSUS COMMITTEE ON REDUCTION OF REPRESENTATION IN CONGRESS One of the most notable occurrences in race history of the past few years was the appearance of the representatives of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People before the Census Committee of the House of Representatives, to make a showing as to the matter of representation in Congress under the apportionment of the census of 1920. Those who gave testimony before the committee during Christmas week were James W. Johnson, secretary; Walter F. White, assistant secretary; William Pickens, field secretary, and James A. Cobb, member of the Legal Committee of the association. The attendance of members of the Census Committee was unusually large, and the attendance of the Southern Democratic members was unprecedentedly large. The last-named members came prepared and determined to harass and perplex the association's representatives by all the means that could be employed. It is doubtful if any group, having such clear and unquestioned wrongs needing redress by congressional action, was ever assailed by just the tactics employed on this occasion. And it is also doubtful if any group ever had better prepared representatives to present its cause. If representatives of less equipment and less acquaintance with the facts of the situation had appeared before the Census Committee, there can be no doubt but that the tactics of the Southern Democrats would have succeeded, and the cause of justice and fair play would have gone down in confusion. As it was, the representatives of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People put the South on the defensive by supporting a good case with a thorough and complete knowledge of the law applicable to the situation, and of the facts which make the situation a reproach to the now universal acclaim for the preservation of law and order. The incidents connected with the hearing enforce anew, if such be necessary, the need of an organization which is functioning every day in the year through the efficiency of experts who are paid to give their whole time to the cause of the colored American's civil and political status, to the absolute exclusion of every other employment or occupation. By no other means can the interests of the race be taken care of through organized effort; and no other effort, except organized effort, can count for anything in this age, when every movement must be an organized movement. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is thoroughly organized, has a paid corps of efficient experts, who give all their time to its work and who are prepared to speak with full knowledge and authority on all matters affecting the public status of the colored American. This association now has a membership of 100,000, when in all the circumstances of the case it should have a membership, of not less than 500,000. No other group of people laboring under the handicap that hampers the colored American is so poorly organized or manifests so little general concern in matters of fundamental importance. The number of colored Americans in the United States has been stated as high as 15,000,000. It is doubtful if the census count now in progress will show much in excess of 11,000,000; if, indeed, it will show so many. But, assuming the smaller number, there would yet be 5,000,000 men and women 21 years of age and over; and if only one in ten of this number would become interested in the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, that would give a membership of 500,000, which would afford a lever sufficient to move the world. In the testimony given before the Census Committee, Mr. Pickens showed how, under present conditions, one white man in the South had from four to ten times the voting power of a Northern voter, and gave striking illustrations of how colored people are disfranchised in the South under cover of law. Mr. White presented a large number of facts dealing with conditions in Florida, where there was rioting on election day. Mr. Johnson was well prepared on the general situation and was prompt and full in reply to all questions intended to confuse and embarrass him. Mr. Cobb's presentation of the legal aspects of the case for reduction of representation under the mandatory provision of the Fourteenth Amendment was complete and convincing, and entirely met every objection brought forward by Southern Congressmen.

C. SATURDAY. JANUARY 29, 1921 icans, when they had not dared to use the word to colored witnesses. The letter, which is addressed to Representative Isaac Siegel, chairman of the Committee on the Census and is signed by James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the Advancement Association, is as follows: "January 24, 1921. "Hon. Charles Siegel, "My Dear Mr. Siegel: The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People desires to call your attention to the cowardly tactics employed by Southern members of the Census Committee of the House of Representatives, of which you are chairman. "These Southern Congressmen on the Census Committee write the word 'nigger' in the Congressional Record, although they did not dare use that term when speaking face to face with officers of the association. "They permit their proofsheets to go back to the printer, using the word 'nigger,' thus pretending to their folks at home that they dared use this insulting word to the colored witnesses. The Southerner pretends to be unable to pronounce the word 'Negro'; and what he says is 'Niggah,' which, of course, disarms any objection, inasmuch as it becomes a mere matter of pronunciation. Presumably, he is trying to say 'Negro.' "Thus Larsen, of Georgia, and Milligan, of Missouri, continually use the words 'nigger' and 'nigger women' in the printed report of the hearing, when they did not dare use them in speech. If they had used these insulting terms to the colored men who faced them, there would have been something else in the record. Larsen pretends to have spoken to William Pickens concerning one Will May as being a 'nigger'—a pretty good 'nigger'—while Milligan prints himself in the Record as using the term 'nigger women.' "May I ask that you see that the Record is corrected so as to conform with the facts, and that you advise men when these corrections have been made? "Very truly yours, "James Weldon Johnson, "Secretary." The music rendered at the funeral of the late editor of The Washington Bee, W. Calvin Chase, was most impressive in that it was out of the ordinary and sung in clear and sweet harmonious tones by three of Washington's most noted soloists. Besides leading the congregational singing, each of the three sang feelingly the following solos: "Eyes That Are Weary," "Only Remembered by What I Have Done" and "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere." The first of these numbers was feelingly sung by Miss Marie C. James, who has one of the best trained voices in the District of Columbia. Gifted with a rich, mellow contralto voice, she is one of the best equipped teachers in the music department of the public schools. The second number was sung by the clear and magnetic voice of Rev. Lewis Sheaf, pastor of the Seventh Day Adventist Church. This pastor, with his most estimable wife, has, like the wandering minstrels of days gone by, visited many sorrowing homes with prayer and sweet song, where he has been a panacea to their many woes. The third number was sung by Mr. W. H. Wythe Lewis, principal of Garfield School. Mr. Lewis' rendition was marked by wonderful interpretation and culture. His voice was clear and sweet and he sang with so much expression that the audience sat as if enchanted. Mr. Lewis, although seldom appearing before a Washington audience, was for a long time Washington's favorite tenor soloist. He served at one time as tenor soloist of St. Mary's, St. Luke's and St. Monica's Episcopal Church choirs The family and all who were present were greatly impressed with the music rendered upon this occasion. "THE BEE" IS BUZZING. Though dead, yet he liveth, and The Bee continues to buzz. For the indomitable spirit of the late William Calvin Chase stands guard over the destinies of The Bee. The mantle of Elijah has fallen on Elisha. And the lofty (put on a soft pedal), way up in the air colored ladies and gentlemen, who arrogate to themselves the functions of being sole repositories of knowledge and arbiters of the destinies and sponsors for the character of the other members of this much maligned race in Washington, who felt relieved at the announcement of the passing away of the late lamented editor, and who were satisfied that the end of The Bee was nigh, must be greatly shocked and affected with a creeping feeling of disgust when they realized that The Bee had acquired some of the characteristics of the hornet and, in the language of John Paul Jones, "just commenced to fight." The writer of this article considers himself fortunate in having made the acquaintance of Mr. Chase two or three months before his untimely death. He had been a reader of his paper and on for twenty-five years. Many have differed from him in a great many things. But I admired his honesty of purpose and his lofty aims, and, above all, his continual unceasing advocacy of the lowly of his race. And it can be said of him without contradiction that he was one of the greatest exponents of uplift for the low-down, unsophisticated, uncouth, poor and ignorant black man of this decade. To sum up in a nutshell, he was a race man without a peer and stood "E sans peur et sans reproache." He has passed on over the Great Divide, but the legacy he left behind will shed its luminous rays on the pages of colored American literature in the United States, and especially that of the citizenry of the District of Columbia, as a testimonial of this man to his race—whom he loved so well—to remotest posterity. It seems now as though I catch a faint glimpse of the peerless editor as he pushes his rapier pen through the cloudy haze in the great beyond and proceeds to write up a due report and history of the times and doings of the so-called superior class of egoistical, arrogant and conceited Hamites of this burg, who have been hanging around Washington for over fifty-six years, who aspire to be "It," who have formed themselevs, to their satisfaction, into a sort of select and invulnerable clique, whose object and aims seem to be to sit in judgment on their "low-down, honest and upright, but less classically educated fellow-man." By the head of the Sphinx, we need more William Calvin Chases in order to eliminate this ancient-modern bunch of intellectual parasites who have stultified the colored race in the District of Columbia. Bee, may you continue to buzz, hum and sting in the cause of decency, morals, justice, right and human liberty. James W. Phoenix. HUMILIATING CONTRAST. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York City, calls your attention to the following editorial which was published in the Commercial Appeal, Memphis, Tenn., on Saturday morning, January 22, 1921, under the caption "A Humiliating Contrast": "Those who may feel an interest in the matter, and it is the deepest interest to all whether they feel it or not. could not do better than to request their Representatives in Congress to send them the 'Hearings Before the Committee on the Census,' which recently reported the bill reapportioning the membership of that body. A more illuminating document could scarcely be found than this pamphlet of something more than 200 pages. "The daily press reports at the time gave a glimpse of these hearings, but the ipsissima verba of those who were heard are far more impressive and significant of the state of mind of a not unimportant element in the population of the United States, and more especially of the Southern States. There all disguises were thrown aside, and if there were any reservations at all, they are doubtless comprehended in the significant statement of one deponent who affirmed: 'We are standing on the crater of a volcano.' "The public is aware that the notorious Society for the Advancement of Colored People appeared before this congressional committee, and through its officials urged the reduction of Southern representation in Congress on the alleged ground of the practical disfranchisement of the Negro in the South. These men freely admitted that the laws of the Southern States are equitable, but charged that the administration of them is not. And it may surprise others, as it did us, to learn that this society has a membership of 100,000, principally in the South, and that it numbers among its Northern membership such respectable names as that of Moorfield Storey, one of the most eminent of American lawyers. The representatives of this organization who appeared before the committee were Negroes of ability who presented their case impressively and with becoming dignity. But the manner in which they were bullied by Southern Congressmen, who were members of the committee, presents a humiliating contrast. The courtesy and ability with which the Northern members conducted themselves, although they evidently sympathized with their Southern associates, was highly commendable. From this exhibition it seems quite clear that the South must improve the quality of its representation, if it hopes to retain the respect of the Nation. One cannot imagine Lamar or George or Isham-G. Harris or Garland playing the role that these men did. "The Southerners showed up some what better when they came to deal with the famous Mr. Tinkham, of Massachusetts, who displayed a surprising ignorance of the subject upon which his fame rests. That his weight is light is clearly shown by the fact that his suggestions were ignored by the committee, a majority of whom were of his own party, and by the House itself, which is also Republican. It would seem, moreover, that his threatened appeal to the Supreme Court will yield Mr. Tinkham small comfort, if the past decisions of that tribunal may serve as a guide to their future course. "The Negroes who appeared before the committee, were evidently such as are sometimes called 'light-complected,' for one of the Northern members expressed great astonishment when one of them was referred to as a Negro. And the record contains an amusing statement from the famous Negro, Lincoln Johnson, of Georgia, whose testimony before another body was submitted. He had been testifying to the influence of prospective postmasterships upon Southern white Republicans, when he was asked: "Did you have any people working with you who desired to be postmasters?" "And his reply was: 'Well, there were some of my friends that would not suffer the crown to be offered to them too many times, Senator; but they would get it, it would be a virgin experience of theirs.'" POST-WAR READJUSTMENT REDUCES JOBS. Investigations Show That Colored Workers Are Not Losing Ground. That the process of after-war readjustment is well under way is evidenced by the return to normal in food prices, accompanied by an approach to normal in the industrial field. Factories, mills and shops—large and small—are retrenching; wages are being reduced either directly or by lengthening hours; and in many cases forces are being greatly reduced to meet the reduction in orders for goods. Many factories are using this occasion to eliminate the unfit, the loafer and the unskilled. The situation was not unexpected, and in anticipation months ago social workers interested in community industrial life began advising workers to hold on to their jobs. The colored worker is meeting the condition in much the same manner as the white worker. The industrial departments of the branches of the National Urban League, in working on the situation, have been holding shop meetings and public meetings in larger numbers for the purpose of urging steadiness on the job among the colored workers. The Boston Urban League reported in the first three weeks in November 100 applicants for 10 possible jobs. The Chicago Urban League has been issuing bulletins on labor conditions through the daily papers and warning workers to be regular and diligent. The Chicago league's bulletin for the week of November 14 showed 187 placements out of 1,073 applicants. The same kind of reports came from Newark, Detroit, St. Louis, Philadelphia, Columbus and other industrial centers. The National Urban League issues the following statement regarding unemployment: "There is peculiar danger in the situation for the colored worker, as seen in the recent drastic action of the authorities in Buffalo, N. Y., in ordering colored Americans out of the city as rapidly as they became unemployed, and as seen in the attempt of the chief of police to issue a curfew order for colored Americans in Jersey City. Both are indicative of a tendency to brow-beat the most helpless group of its citizens, protecting themselves behind the pretense of a disproportionate increase in crime by colored Americans. The police authorities in both cases, however, denied to agents of the league any intention to discriminate against colored Americans. "In answer to a newspaper statement alleged to have been made by C. L. Arndt, of the State Employment Bureau in Cleveland, to the effect that colored workers are shiftless and inefficient, William Conners, executive secretary of the Urban League branch in Cleveland, reports from actual investigation through conferences that 98 per cent of the employers of colored Americans in Cleveland have declared their labor satisfactory. Several factories keep in touch with their former colored employees—laid off on account of the slump in business—and expect to take them on again as soon as business picks up. The workers' industrial insurance is still carried, assuring the workers of their employers' good intentions. A similar report comes from Cincinnati, where J. W. Robinson, of the Civic League, made such an investigation. One thousand seven hundred and sixty-four replies concerning efficiency were received. Ninety-four per cent said that the colored American was making good. G. W. Buchner, executive secretary of the St. Louis Urban League, reports a like result from his investigation of industrial relations in the St. Louis district. INAUGURATION SHOULD BE ELABORATE. Editor The Washington Bee: As the disappointing news comes from Marion, Ohio, that-the patriotic people of this glorious Republic, will not be allowed to participate in the usual joyous inaugural ball and parade, I beg space through the columns of your valuable paper to say just a few words relative to the much-regrettable topic. It seems to be the subject of economy which prompted our good President-elect to feel himself called upon to stop the shouting which is due to follow any victory that is worth while. We cannot make ourselves believe that the good President-elect thought of the common people of this country before he expressed his request that the inaugural ball be not held; for it is only on such public occasions that our Chief Magistrate gets to mingle with the common people—all of the people—who honored him so much as to make him the Chief Ruler of this great Nation. For it strikes us that the people are due honor, by those whom they honor: Hence, when it comes to the question of honor there should be 50-50. When the polls closed on the evening of November 2 last it was all over but the shouting, without which the victory will seem wholly incomplete. The inaugural ball is a pleasure that belongs to the people, and it should not be denied them. Then, too, it seems that the President should be only too glad to mingle with the people instead of holding himself aloof from them; for no creature, it matters not who he is, is greater than his creators. The people hit, and they hit hard, too, on the 2d of November last against the idea of one-man rule. Let the people rule, especially in so small a matter as the inaugural festivities; and the President-elect will be hailed again as a jolly good fellow. Little do father and mother rejoice in the little doll babies they give to their little daughter, Mary, or to the wagon, tools and other things they give to Johnnie for Christmas; but it is a real pleasure for them (mother and father) to sit and see the children rejoice over the gifts they have given them. And so it should be with our President-elect relative to the inaugural ball and parade. If he would not enjoy taking part in such amusements, it should be a lasting pleasure, for him to sit, at least a short while, and gaze upon the others who will be rejoicing over his own election. Would a man despise himself while others strive to do him honor? But let us notice the economical side of the question which the good-President-elect speaks of. Because of the great war it is evidently true that Uncle Sam has no money to throw away at the present time. So all of us should use economy. It is not infrequent that men are known to express themselves as "My country first." Now, talk is all right, but it does not amount to very much without actions. And, speaking about economy, would not the entire Nation applaud the incoming Chief Magistrate if he should make it known that, because of the urgent, need of more money in the National Treasury, and in order to lift the heavy yoke of taxes from the necks of the common people of this country, he will very willingly accept a salary of $25,000 a year instead of the present $75,000 which is allowed the President? There is a little bird which sings: "If you love me, show it—show it." If this great Government is to be run for the people, and by the people, then show it by going right on preparing for the inaugural ball and parade. The election is over and, for God's sake, let's have the shouting. Let there be music and dancing; for the Republican sons, who have been gone for eight long years, feeding among the swine, come back, expressing a willingness to be as hired servants. And why shouldn't there be rejoicing? No incoming President was ever loved and honored more than Warren G. Harting; and while the people desire to give him the honor he so richly deserves, he should bow to their wishes and say, "Thy will be done." IS IT JUST? Is it fair and just that a member of our race should be held for murder and other charges for the sake of not placing the blame and shame on the other race? Have they clear and accurate statements that one of the colored Americans committed the crime? No. They jump and arrest the first one they can easily locate and cause him to confess to something he knows nothing of and is innocent of. Are we going to continue to stand for this unjust treatment? Now they are holding one of our race in connection with the murder in Annapolis.

MARYLAND HOSPITAL FOR COLORED CONSUMPTIVES The State of Maryland has given a site with about 85 acres of land for a hospital to the colored consumptives. It is located at Hennerton Station, on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, about 18 miles from Baltimore. It was conveyed by the Rev. Ernest Lyons, former minister of Liberia, who is said to represent the colored tuberculosis hospital commission. One day not long ago a merchant doing an extensive trade came to a friend and offered him 3 per cent a month for a loan of $100,000.

"Why not make it for two or three years? I will discount your note for $100,000 if you make it three years." "Thank you, thank you!" said the other, relieved. "John, draw up a note," directed the lender to his bookkeeper, "and take off the discount of 3 per cent a month on $100,000 for three years, and draw a check for the balance to our friend here." Presently the bookkeeper handed his employer a memo which he glanced over. "Have you a blank check with you?" he asked the borrower. "A check? What for?" asked the other. "Why, John's statement shows that if I discount your note for three years at 3 per cent a month you owe me $8,000." "That is absurd," protested the other. But the statement was laid before him, showing that interest on $100,000 at 3 per cent a month, 36 per cent a year, would in three-years amount to $108,000, and therefore the borrower would owe the lender money from the very beginning.

C. IN "THE BEE'S" GARDEN So much has been written and said concerning the vicious circle of high prices and high wages by editors, statesmen, and other "authorities," that we have become somewhat caloused to their appeal for longer hours and harder work as the only solution of the situation. But here is the statement of an average business man, one who knows both the side of the laborer and the executive, and whose plea strikes home: "The world is hungry for the things we eat, wear and use. Stark hungry! The cupboard is bare as a bone. Prices mount to staggering figures and the cry of our worker is—more pay, shorter hours—and then a shortage shoots the price of things up another notch. Again the cry—more pay, less hours! "Ye Gods! Must the vicious circle continue? Shall we never see that it is more hours we need, and that to reduce the cost of the things we use, we must produce not less, but more? "I have just received a cablegram from my brother in London, reading: 'Market bare, prices awful, hopeless, sailing home. Oh, if Americans would grasp their opportunity.' "Prices had gotten so high in this country and merchandise so scarce that we sent two of our firm abroad, hoping to find what we needed at lower prices. "The cable message was the answer!" "Merchandise is even shorter on the other side than here. They have nothing to sell and their shelves are bare. "They want to buy—to buy from America—to buy the things Americans make—and the answer of our workers is: Reduce our hours; 44 hours a week instead of 60.

"The writer sympathizes with those who work. He understands what hard work, privation, and the struggle of life is—he has lived it.

He has put in fifteen hours a day in a store. "He is not a natural-born plutocrat; rather he is the son of a steel worker. He feels that he knows the needs of those who struggle, but anyone would be foolish who failed to see that the waste of time by carpenter, plumber or other worker in turn raised the price of rent, raised the price of the very clothes he himself wore, and everything used by him or his fellow-worker.

O DR.FRED PALMER'S SKIN WHITENER as my imagination clothed him, was a being of imposing figure in whose presence you actually trembled. "Well, I've met a lot of men—some of whom the world thought were great men—but none of them has ever given me the feeling of awe that I anticipated. "So I have come to the conclusion that there are no great men. So-called great men are just average men who either had a chance or took a chance." The germs of greatness are in all'of us. Time was when a man without noble blood in his veins never had a chance. Just as soon as we threw down the bars of caste and opened the doors of enlightenment, we began to see average men develop into great men. Formerly, kings and prelates were almost the only men accorded greatness during their lifetime. These personages were thought great because they moved in a wealth of pomp and show calculated to bewilder ordinary folk and make them tremble in tongue-tied awe. With the passing of the Middle Ages, being born into the nobility ceased to be the only opportunity to become great. Average men then began to show what they had in them. In literature, politics, inventions, military affairs—in every activity—men of obscure origin began to put themselves out of the ranks by their genius or industry, and took place among the great. In England, Carlyle, the son of a mason, produced writings that will always stand in English literature as marvels of intellectuality. Charles Dickens, son of a poor clerk, dreamed into being stories that have delighted millions, and which placed him among the immortals. James Watt, father of the modern steam engine, was poor and unknown until his inventions brought him fortune and renown. So with Elias Howe, who lived in a dingy London attic until his sewing machine earned him $2,000,000 and made him one of the most famous and richest men of his time. Bonaparte of France, and Garibaldi, the Italian patriot, were men of lowly station who found the germs of greatness within themselves. Robert Burns was born in humble circumstances. So was Thorwaldsen, the famous Danish sculptor. Our own country has produced more great men than any other, for we honor special achievement in any field. Until recent years, success in business meant nothing in European countries, for business—"trade"—was not deemed respectable. Every schoolboy knows how innumerable are the Americans who have risen from average station to greatness. Some did it by force of genius, some without the slightest trace of that gift. Some were handi- capped by dire poverty—and some by the burden of too much wealth. If it is true that a prophet is unknown in his own country, it is equally true that great men are seldom recognized for their true worth while living. Our notions of great men are derived from reading about men long dead, whose characters are clothed with a mystic splendor by the passage of time. We speak of them almost reverently, and wonder how it would be to see them and touch the hem of their garments. As a matter of fact, if we saw Diogenes, Caesar, Napoleon or Shakespeare on the street, in modern dress, the sight of them would give us no more of a thrill than that of our butcher or our family doctor. Peter Witt is right. No man is a hero to his contemporaries—if his contemporaries come into personal contact with him. The writer has seen some whom the world calls great. He once shook hands with John D. Rockefeller, acknowledged the richest man in the world's history. There was nothing about his presence to indicate his superiority to us all, in business and finance. It is the advertising that men get that invests them with awe-inspiring qualities. They are not beings from another world, but humans like ourselves. They are different from us in that they developed some ability more than we have, or worked harder than we have. They are just average men who had a chance—or took a chance. COLORED WOMEN ON INAUGURAL COMMITTEE The Inaugural Executive Committee, consisting of Hon. Edward B. McLean, chairman, and Edward F. Colloday, Samuel J. Prescott, Fred W. Upham and Jesse W. Smith, were ever mindful of some splendid work in the last campaign accomplished through the untiring efforts of some our own women, and the following were placed on the Information Committee: Miss Rachel Bell, Miss Eva Chase, Mrs. Julia M. Layton and Mrs. Mary Church Terrell. This committee, of which Mr. Charles J. Waters is chairman and Miss Florence Stiles, secretary, is one of the ten committees retained for service. The difference between a leader of a "movement" and the leader of a "race" is the difference between the measure of an inch and the distance of a mile. *** Trouble is something that generally visits us without warning.

And if we m The term "colored leader," as applied by some to certain colored men, is a misnomer. The fact is that the majority of the so-called leaders have been but little more than agents selected by the whites by reason of so-called "accomplishments," most of which cannot be differentiated from plain hypocrisy, Iscariotism, self-magnification or just polite flunkeyism. These would-be "leaders" in most cases have shown marked pliability to the schemes of white politicians who have sought to satisfy obligations they owe to a very large group of loyal Republicans, by the shortest and most economical process. Hitherto this method of paying off political debts has gone on without concerted objection on the part of the loyal colored masses. They have been watchfully waiting to discover what that particular brand of "leader" could or would do to advance the moral, social, political, material or intellectual interests of the race. They have waited only to be disappointed and disgusted by the general failure to embrace even the few opportunities at hand to do something worth while. But the time has arrived when they will look upon any attempts to repeat the trick as an affront, to be practically dealt with at the opportune moment. What is most wanted at this juncture is promotion where efficiency in any important and useful sphere has been demonstrated. The race needs an opportunity to display its complete ability to administer governmental affairs as ably as may be done by other groups of American citizens. Where a colored employee is found in the executive departments who has been efficient in a subordinate capacity, word should go down the line to place such individual on an equal footing with other groups of corresponding efficiency, and let merit determine the award of the promotion. There are hundreds in the executive departments who would long since have received promotion had not the word been sent down not to allow the colored brother to become conspicuous as an efficient bookkeeper, accountant, or what not. Our so-called "leaders" have been, almost to a man, utterly indifferent to and unacquainted with the duties pertaining to the positions held by those under them, but have spent their time away from their respective offices. The promotion of numbers of colored citizens to well-earned places of honor, influence and emolument would do the race more real good than it would be to appoint any number of "leaders" of the old brand. Not that a real leader would not be hailed with delight—as a godsend; but he will not come at the beck and call of any particular party or class. He will have grown, not under the influences of "hot-house culture," but out in the open field of honest, earnest, active and disinterested endeavor. The fact is that a leader of the proper sort is not to be developed in the field of politics. Let the colored people advance as others have done. Give those who have proven their capacity a chance to prove their capacity in a larger field. This would serve a double purpose, first, in awarding justice, and also in disillusioning the whites of the false notion that the colored people are incapable of mastering the more abstruse problems of government. There is no objection to rewarding colored politicians for the political work they perform; indeed, they should demand recognition. But do not reward a mere politician for services performed and then "dish him up" as a great leader. It will not go down any more. Mr. Harding has said things at Marion which lead us to expect help of the proper sort. But if we are to be treated in the old way, or to be Jonahized, or scrapped, under the influence of the old regime, it is time to be mending tents. And if we must go, let us start now. FROM BEHIND THE BARRAGE. nt Taft, correspondent, etc., for the article republished in the Washington Journal, or otherwise, spokesman for the South, adroitly manipulates their reave the reader in small doubt as to his place, we regard it as decidedly unfortunate who has been the beneficiary of the life of the South should permit himself to Ex-President Taft, correspondent, etc., for the Philadelphia Ledger, in an article republished in the Washington Herald on the 8th instant, voluntary, or otherwise, spokesman for the two wings in politics in the South, adroitly manipulates their respective arguments as to leave the reader in small doubt as to his (Taft's) own opinions. In the first place, we regard it as decidedly unfortunate that an ex-President who has been the beneficiary of the loyalty of the colored people of the South should permit himself to become the mouthpiece of a class of Southerners who have constantly and insistently violated the great principles which gave birth to the Republican party, snapped their fingers in the face of constituted authority and sought and are still seeking to discredit and utterly destroy the results of the War of the Rebellion. It seems to us that he might either have left Mr. Harding to formulate his own policy touching the treatment of the colored Americans resident in the South, or offered his own suggestions and borne the credit, or discredit, according as his advice comported with the basic principles of the Republican party. Mr. Taft seems to have been inspired to represent the two aspects of the Southern political situation by reason of the apparent favorable prospect of a steady, if not rapid, growth of Republican strength in that section. The prospect appears to give peculiar satisfaction in view of the indication of favorable consideration on the part of "former Democrats." Here again looms up the same old ignis fatuus that has more than once bedazzled and befuddled more than one ex-President. And the fox-fire has invariably led to the same result, namely, that the so-called "former Democrat" turns out to be the same moss- covered, rock-ribbed, quibbling, cajoling, whimpering, blustering, eternal and unchanging Democrat of the most thorough Yankee-hating type, whose religion is eternal enmity to everything which favors the present or future acquisition of civil or political rights by the colored people. This "former Democrat" has set his price at which he will help to strengthen the Republican party in the South. The colored brother is not even to hope to share in the government in the South. He is not to hope to obtain any office until he has demonstrated "intelligence and economic utility." He must not hope to aspire to any office, Federal or other for the reason that some folk resort the very idea of doing business with him. He is not to expect, ever, the enforcement of the Fifteenth Amendment, but be satisfied with present political conditions in the South which render his political power "negligible." In exchange for all this the colored brother will be assisted, provided the "good, white, liberal" Southerners are successful in being elected to office. Finally, the "lily-white Republican party" will eventually increase the school fund and Republican executives will "do all that is possible in the suppression of lynching." So prominent a man as ex-President Taft has had the temerity to hand out such disgusting "rot." We need but few words to express the sentiments of the colored people on this subject. The very reasons (?) upon which the "former Democrat" agrees to help promote and strengthen the Republican party in the South constitute the identical ones upon which we shall fight for equality before the law, full representation in political affairs, better schools, fair oppbrtunities, in spite of—not in fear of—lynching, even to the extent of deserting what was but which seems destined not be the Grand Old Republican party.

Little Rock is to entertain the 1921 session of the Sunday School Congress forces from June 8 to 13. This action was confirmed by the meeting of the board held in Nashville, Tenn., recently. Five cities were running neck and neck for these honors. They were. Muskogee, Okla.; Columbia, S. C.; Galveston, Tex.; St. Louis, Mo., and Little Rock, Ark. It developed that the matter had been before the board for the third time before the decision was finally reached. Notices were at once sent to the leaders in Arkansas, conveying the information to them. The secretary of the movement, Rev. Henry A. Boyd, and the chairman, Dr. C. H. Clark, authorized the announcement, and they declare that in all probability there will be no reduced round-trip rates for any religious gatherings. They, contemplate an increased attendance over last year. It will be remembered that just a year ago this meeting was held in Springfield, Ill., where memorial services were held for Abraham Lincoln. More than 20,000 Sunday Schools and 1,500,000 Sunday School workers are affected by this call. HAMPTON DEFEATS SHAW. The Shaw University five went down to defeat for the second time this season before the onslaught of the Hampton Institute basket ball tossers on Friday night, January 21. The game was played in the spacious Raleigh. City Auditorium, which is considered one of the best basket ball courts in the country: Even the weather man was kind. One of the largest and most enthusiastic crowds that ever attended a game in Raleigh was on hand to cheer Shaw on to victory. There was confidence because Shaw had lost to Hampton 17 to 18 on the latter's court during the holiday game and because the Shaw team is considered this year the best ever turned out at the university. At the sound of the referee's whistle, Raleigh's greatest game of the season was on. Hampton began the scoring and kept the lead until the last minute of the first half, when Hardy made a long basket, giving Shaw an 11-to-10 lead. This spectacular performance brought the great crowd to its feet. At this time there was wild rejoicing. During the intermission the university band enlivened the occasion. The joy of the Shaw rooters was of brief duration, however, for at the beginning of the second half the Hampton five opened with a dash that held the spectators breathless and dazzled the Shaw players. Hampton's passing and shooting, with her great defensive playing in this half, held Shaw to 5 points, while she rolled up 18 points. It was evident soon after the opening of this half that the "Seasiders" had the better team and that the hopes of the Shaw followers would not be realized this season. Hardy, a former Hampton player, was easily the star for the local team, while the entire Hampton aggregation played as a machine. The guarding of both teams was close, which made the playing at times rough. There was fine spirit, however, throughout the game, and the Shaw rooters declared, at the sound of the timekeeper's whistle, that the better team had won. Line-up: Hampton—McLaren, right forward; Long, left forward; Bradby, center; Jones, right guard; Gunn, left guard. Shaw—Hardy, right forward; Cook, left forward; Stewart, center; Lytle, right guard; Toliver, left guard. Referee: Mr. Ripple, of North Carolina State College. DEANWOOD GLEE AND ATH LETIC CLUB. The Deanwood Community Center is proud to announce that the young men of Deanwood have organized an activity known as the Deanwood Glee and Athletic Club. This club of young men was organized to develop the physical ability and musical talent of the young men of Deanwood and vicinity. It comprises a membership of forty and expects to reach one hundred in the near future. It proposes to feature its musical talent throughout Washington and will meet comers in athletic contests. Miss Cecil B. Norton visited the Deanwood Community Center last Thursday night and witnessed the activities of this club. She was much impressed with the talent of these young men and pledged support to their efforts. An effort is being made to secure the use of a portable school building for gymnastics. TO THE COLORED CITIZENS OF WASHINGTON, D. C. Our travelling representatives have been late in reaching your town and we doubt if they will be able to see you before our books close on February 10th. This advertisement, therefore, is to give you, your friends and business associates an opportunity to share in the honor of being amongst the organizers of this, the greatest movement in colored history. Organized Finance is the Power ruling the World today. Without organized finance no people can develop common respect, protect their interests or secure a proper share in the prosperity of the country. The very centre of organized finance is the Stock Exchange. The Harlem Stock Exchange will provide a market where the stocks colored people have invested in can be sold or a loan secured on same. It will encourage enterprise and protect investors against sellers of worthless stocks. Further, it will train men of our race in the arts of finance and trading, and provide a direct market for products of colored origin. Shares in the Exchange at present sell at $5.00 per share for either the 8 per cent preferred stock or the common stock. As the Exchange gets its income from commissions on the sale and purchase of stock, brokers dues, charges for listing, etc., it runs no business risks. Whilst therefore, you are guaranteed a dividend of 8 per cent yearly, no doubt the dividends will be much larger, thus making this investment one of the safest and most profitable ever offered the race. Branches of the Exchange are being established in several cities having large colored populations. The Philadelphia branch is run under the auspices of a syndicate headed by B. Gale (the well-known promoter), E. C. Brown and A. F. Stevens (the greta bankers), etc. We want all the best minds amongst colored people to be behind this movement, and, therefore, urge your forwarding subscription blank below along with remittance without delay. I hereby subscribe to.....shares of 8 per cent preferred and ..... shares of common stock of the Harlem Stock Ex- change at $5.00 per share and enclose you $.....to cover sub- scription. The officers of the club are as follows: Josephus Lee, president; Robert Jackson, vice-president; Joseph Mackle, secretary; Lucius Wilson, assistant secretary; J. E. Edmonds, treasurer; Thomas Bell, music director, and Timothy Keen, assistant director. The program rendered Thursday evening follows: Solos, Messrs. T. Bell, H. Jones and T. Keene; quartette, Messrs. Charles Billingsley, T. Keen, T. Bell and Herbert Jones, pianist; boxing, J. Mackel vs. Butcher, T. Keen vs. Butcher, R. Rulack vs. H. Coone; wrestlers, W. Lee vs. E. Butler. All correspondence should be addressed to Mrs. C. M. Briggs, Community Secretary, 1032 Whittingham Place, Deanwood, D. C. DEANWOOD CITIZENS' ASSOCIATION. At the last meeting of the Deanwood Citizens' Association a resolution of sympathy to the bereaved relatives of Lawyer W. Calvin Chase was passed. The association feels keenly the loss of this great friend and advocate of the people's rights. Several years ago, when the rights of citizenship was exclusively held by a small group of Deanwood citizens, Lawyer Chase wielded his pen until Washington at large became interested and took notice of Deanwood. He wrote of the valor and courage possessed by the Deanwood citizens, who determined to exercise civic rights; and, more than that, he counselled and guided these people who sought the light until every dark cloud had vanished and true citizenship prevailed. We recognized in him a fearless character who stood firm for the defense of his people against opposing whites; and when blacks rose up against blacks he got on the right side and fought until victory was achieved. The Deanwood citizens extend their heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved relatives of Lawyer W. Calvin Chase, bidding them to look upward and onward; until God in His infinite love joins together the links in the broken chain. To the Memory of W. Calvin Chase. Tell me not that life is o'er Tell me not that life is o'er, That you and I shall meet no more. Tell me not that death doth reign And hold thee where thy form wast lain. Say to me that this brief dream Is not life, as it may seem; For far away from mortal strife Thou hast found eternal life. Christina Moody Briggs GREEKS ROUTED.

The Fairfax County Colored Teachers' Association held an interesting meeting at Chesterbrook, Va., Friday of last week. The topics under discussion were "The Best Modern Ways of Disciplining" and "What Relation Should Exist Between the Parent and the School?" Many interesting remarks were made by the teachers who were present. At the suggestion of the president, a "Round Table Talk" will be held at each meeting, at which time all teachers will bring their particular problems to the association to be disoussed and worked out. Also a course of reading was mapped out for the year which will be of great assistance to those desiring to renew their certificates by examination. The next meeting will be held at Merrifield. Mrs. Susie Campbell, who has been ill at her residence, is improving slowly. Several of her relatives paid her a visit on Sunday. *** The little schoolmates of Miss Bertha Lee are deeply concerned over her illness. They extend to her their heartfelt sympathy and hope to soon see her in her accustomed seat in the schoolroom. *** Mr. Ollie Tinner was a visitor to the town last Saturday. *** Mrs. Bertie Goines entertained at dinner Sunday her mother, Mrs. Denny, and Mrs. Bell. Mr. Irving Lee, who has been the recent guest of Mr. Clinton Turner, bade farewell to all his relatives and friends last Friday, prior to his leaving for Pittsburgh, Pa., where he expects to make his home. *** Miss Pearl Johnson was the weekend guest of Miss Ethel Powell. *** Mr. Charles M. Thomas, teacher of history in the Dunbar High School, has been selected for the speaker on the occasion of the reception and "get-together" meeting of the School League, to be held jointly with the Study Club at the Schoolhouse on Thursday, February 17. Mr. Thomas is one of the most capable educators of the race. His topic will be "Education." Let each one tell the other one and crowd the building. Mrs. Lena Dixon is preparing an interesting program for the evening service of February 5 at the Second Baptist Church. The Armor Bearers, a girls' club of which Mrs. Dixon is president, will take an active part in the program. A committee of ladies of the Galloway Methodist Church are preparing to celebrate the anniversary of Abraham Lincoln and the progress of the colored race in the fifty-six years of freedom. The celebration will be held at the church on February 11, with an elaborate program. Several interesting speakers are scheduled to speak. Miss Alice Byrd was the Sunday guest of the little Misses Parker. *** A Tom Thumb Wedding is scheduled for the benefit of the Sunday School at the Baptist Church in the near future. *** Miss Mary Richard has resumed her school duties after a brief illness. *** Who's Who In Falls Church. Although national woman's suffrage is of recent birth in Virginia, colored women in Falls. Church have long been prepared to assume the responsibility and exercise the privileges. Among the first to register for voting was Mrs. Lena Dixon. This lady is one of the positive characters in our town. She abounds in good works. As a speaker, she is well known about the county. As deaconess, president of the Armor Bearers Club and vice-president of the Mother's Club, her interest in the welfare of her church, the Second Baptist, is hereunto attested. Fraternally, the Household of Ruth is her field of work. She has been a member of the Board of Directors of the Fairfax County Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. since its inception. Some people live a life of simple existence: They are content to sit by the fireside and see opportunity to serve others drift by, while others are out and breasting the stream in the effort to better conditions for real living. Mrs. Dixon belongs to the latter group. The Study Club met on Thursday night at the Schoolhouse, read, studied and discussed "Political Parties" and the "State Legislature." Following the lesson in civil government, Mr. E. B. Henderson briefly reviewed world events, discussing the problems affecting Ireland, India, Russia, Greece and Japanese America, or California. The relationship of the colored people of this country to capital and labor drew forth interesting ideas. Among those who attended were: Messrs, Tinner, Carpenter, Everett Tinner, Everett Jones, A. G. Murray and E. B. Henderson. The ladies in attendance were: Mrs. Scott, Mrs. Edwards, Mrs. Wade, Mrs. Carpenter, Mrs. M. Richards, Mrs. Cora Thomas, Mrs. Ollie Ewing, Mrs. Georgia Taylor, Mrs. E. B. Henderson, Mrs. A. C. Jones, Mrs. Reed, Mrs. Marine, Mrs. J. Powell and Mrs. Lena Dixon. ENTERTAINS SOCIAL CLUBS. Mr. W. A. Moon highly entertained the Rhode Island Avenue, Eleventh Street ond. V Street Social Clubs. Mr. E. G. and Mrs. N. B. W. Toppins, champions of the northwest, won the first prize, while Miss Mildred White and Mr. Roster won the second. GARFIELD NOTES Last Sunday morning being somewhat like spring, the Sunday School children made their way to the Allen A. M. E.

A SCHOOL FOR THE TRAINING OF COLORED YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN FOR SERVICE Though it is young in history, the Institution feels a just pride in the work thus far accomplished, for its graduates are already filling many responsible positions, thus demonstrating the aim of the school to train men and women for useful citizenship. DEPARTMENTS ALREADY ESTABLISHED PRESIDENT JAMES E. SHEPARD, DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA The Teacher Training Department The Divinity School The Commercial Department The Department of Home Economics The Department TERM OPENS SEPT. For further information PRESIDENT JAMES E. SHEPARD PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS.. By the Sage of the Potomac. I wonder what effect the advice of ex-President Taft will have on President-elect Harding? Mr. Taft advises that the Federal positions, that will soon be open in the South be given to Southern Democrats instead of colored Americans. What positions are there in the South which would cause Mr. Taft to make such a suggestion? There are only three positions in the South that were ever held by colored Americans worth talking about; and they are collector of internal revenue at Jacksonville, Fla.; collector of the port of Beaufort, S. C., and register of the land office at Montgomery, Ala. Mr. Taft; I think, a little too presumptive. Why not let Mr. Harding do as he thinks best? He is just as qualified in this line as Mr. Taft, who has had his chance at trying these suggestions. My good friend Arthur C. is still on the job. He is putting the same vigor in his undertakings as characterized his work when he was fighting for democracy on the foreign fields in our late World War. He is liked by all with whom he has any dealings and deserves credit. He is the same Arthur C. day in and day out. He is really putting action in "A." I stopped in the Elite Shaving Parlor, located in the Pythian Building, last week and was very much impressed with what I saw there. The energetic proprietor is always on the move and has associated with him five of the best barbers in the city. Besides, it seems to be the headquarters for most everything—social, political, local and otherwise. Call at this place when you want to be treated right. Keep up the good work, "Sammy." * * * My friend Bradley is going a great business in his "Subway." He is the same Harry. The detective force has surely lost one of its greatest assets. I am sure that something would have been uncovered by this time had he been assigned to the Brown murder case and some of the many other cases which are puzzling the police force in no small degree. It is to be regretted that he has been allowed to get off the force. The Howard Theatre is undergoing a general renovating. My friend Vincent Thomas is leaving no stone unturned to make this one of the most beautiful and popular playhouses in the city. No doubt, he is preparing a big treat for our many friends.whom we might expect in town during inauguration week. We will miss the famous supper shows for a short time. HISTORIC ARLINGTON.

SHEPARD, DURHAM, NORTH overseas and being laid to rest in their own home land. With but few exceptions, every week Mrs. Julia M. Layton can be found at her post, representing the colored Red Cross of our city. On Thursday the following colored boys were buried: Tom Adams, Trenton, S. C.; James H. Barrett, Birmingham, Ala.; Mose Fobbs, Crockett, Tex.; William Galloway, Wentsville, Mo.; Mack Garrett, Rosedale, Miss.; Chas. Lindsay, Kansas City, Mo.; Otis E. Stone, Fredonia, Ky.; Henry Turnage, Wynne, Ark. Each week Mrs. Layton gets the list, with rank and nearest relative and address, and after the funeral she writes a letter to each one and fully describes the funeral. She receives many kind expressions from loved ones throughout the country. The spirit of fellowship has never been more fully demonstrated than by the teachers of the public schools in the week gone by. Miss I. I. Russell, one of the most efficient and faithful teachers in the service, has been indisposed for several weeks and underwent an operation at Dr. Carson's Sanitarium. The teachers have ever been mindful of her, and fruit, flowers, money, telephone calls and visits have evidenced that the true fellowship rings round and about our teaching force. At this writing Miss Russell is holding her own. HARVARD DROPS GAMES WITH "CRACKER" SCHOOLS Naval Academy at Annapolis and the University of Virginia Wanted to Draw the Color Line. Cambridge, Mass., Jan. 24.—Harvard College lived up to its traditions by cancelling track meets with the Annapolis Naval Academy and the University of Virginia for next-April. The Southern schools are anxious to run against Harvard, but wanted the Crimson to "can" its colored runners during the contests. Major Moore, white, graduate manager of track sports, and W. J.

A track meet will probably be arranged with Penn State. The two colored men objected to by the "cracker" schools are Ed Gourdin, biggest point winner for Harvard in the May Intercollegiates last May, who won points in the dashes, shot put and broad jump, and Edwin Jourdain, spinner and hurdler. Major Moore admitted that, two of his best men had Negro blood in their veins, and added "it is not deemed advisable to bring the team South without them. Twenty years ago when William Matthews, a colored lad and Harvard's greatest shortstop, appeared with the Crimson team on the Navy's field at Annapolis, Southern crackers objected, and the Harvard captain and manager declared that Matthews must play or Harvard's team would leave the field. He played. Harvard's policy has always been just to colored athletes. W. H. Lewis, of Boston, is known as the best football center the college has ever had. A. L. Jackson, of New York, was the champion hurdler in 1913, and Ted Cable, of Indianapolis, the king shot putter and broad jumper the same year. Last year Gourdin played football and may make the team this fall. HOWARD UNIVERSITY The Howard University faculty and students recently held a meeting in the University Chapel in the interest of Mr. Herbert Hoover's European war relief movement. In transmitting the contribution of $56.78 to Chairman Arthur S. Moses, of the European War Relief Council for the District of Columbia, Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of the university, stated that, although the amount was small, it testified to the very great interest of those connected with the university in helping those who are so greatly suffering in Europe at this time. The fourth annual convocation of the Howard University School of Religion, to be held February 22, 23 and 24, 1921, will devote itself to the discussion of outstanding problems.

PARKER uses this table in his office in treating the spine and nerves. It is something entirely new and wonderful in construction. Its "universal joint" conforms with the principles of anatomy and physiology of the spinal joints and is remarkably adapted to manipulative treatment of the human spine. When it is remembered that the spine is the "backbone" of the body and contains the spinal cord, which gives off nerves to all organs and parts of the body, it will readily be understood that health and strength depend largely on the condition of the spine and spinal cord. Strain, weakness, irregular or abnormal condition of any region of the spine will affect the spinal cord, thus causing troubles in the organs which get their nerve supply from that section of the cord, be it the heart, lungs, stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels, uterus, bladder, or any other organs. Osteopathic treatment corrects the spinal troubles, releases the cord and nerves, regulates the circulation, strengthens the organs, and Nature does the rest. Dr. Parker pays special attention to cases of female troubles and troubles of the eyes. THE CABIN GRADUATE AMERICAN SCHOOL OF PHACITIPEDICS PRESIDENTIAL CALLS BY APPOINTMENT PHONE NORTH 3523 DR. GEO.
