Hold Great Session Knights of Pythias Knights of Pythias GREATEST SESSION KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS AND COURT OF COLANTHE. The greatest session of the Knights of Pythias and Courts of Colanthe of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia was held in Topeka, Kansas, August 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19. Kansas accorded this organization an honor never before accorded to any other—it turned over to them the State Capitol in which to hold their biennial session and allowed dining hall shacks to be temporarily erected in the Capitol grounds in order that the delegates might have every comfort without having to go a distance for any thing. The order embracing the following States: Alabama, Arkansas, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Tennessee, West Virginia were represented by delegates from the Grand Courts State of Washington, Colorado, California, Minnesota, Michigan, Delaware and Connecticut sent a delegate from their subordinate court. This organization differs from most others because its voting personnel is made up of persons who represent Grand (State) Courts and have received the Supreme Degree. The Governor, his Excellency, Henry J. Allen and the Mayor, Hon. Herbert J. Corivine, welcomed the order on Monday in the immense city auditorium. They were men among men—they were men of the people, for the people and by the people. They gave the order a royal, heartfelt welcome and turned over the keys of the city to Supreme Chancellor, Sir S. W. Green of New Orleans. An excellent musical and literary program followed; enjoyed by the thousands present: VOL.

The sessions of both bodies were harmonious and truly representative. The Courts of Colanthe was presided over by Supreme Counsellor Sir E. G. Tedrington of Evansville, Ind. His annual report evidenced absolutely that envy and jealousy cannot destroy—they only impede—the progress for a short while. As a people we must and will come to our own, but we cannot sit still and expect it to come to us. Anything that is worth while is worth working for. We will accomplish our desire of fine citizenship only if we demand it. We can only demand it by getting down to real business, all of us, all over the United States. There are 2,343 courts, with a membership of about 150,000. The District of Columbia was represented in the Supreme Lodge by Col. L. Murry and General J. Clay Smith. In the Supreme Court, Mrs. Emma J. Murry, Grand Worthy Counsellor, and Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, Past Supreme Deputy Counsellor, and Past Grand Worthy Counsellor. The Uniform Department of the women was represented by Captain Victoria Stevenson. The Men's Uniform Department was represented, in addition to the officers named above, by Col. Knickerbocker, Captain Conway, Captain Spriggs, Captain Matthews and Others. The Topeka State Journal, the evening newspaper of Kansas, in large headlines on front page, read thus: "In Perfect Order." "Knights of Pythias Parade Best Ever Witnessed Here." "Eight Thousand Delegates in Military Spectacle." "Uplift of Negro Race Is Constant Aim and Ambition." It further describes it "Without an exception the most gorgeous military order parade ever held in Kansas." In the line of parade no automobile nor delegation received more attention or greater applause, particularly from the white lookers-on, than the on bearing the banner of Uniform Rank and Grand Lodge, Washington, D. C., in which was seated Gen. J. Clay Smith and Colonel L. Murry, looking like members of the diplo- The Washington Be- Congre matic corps and commander-in-chief of the army and his staff. Also the one bearing banner of Grand Court of Colanthe of District of Columbia, and Drill Corps of Washington, D. C., in which was Mrs. E. J. Murry and Mrs. J. M. Layton and Captain Stevenson in full uniform, and in every way wearing the honors of an up-to-date captain. Both of these cars were very beautifully decorated. Mrs. Murry and Mrs. Layton both filled important places on committees. Mrs. Layton was called on to respond to committee of five Sir Knights, bearing greetings from Supreme Lodge to Supreme Court. In her usual way, she responded, and carried the house by storm. She spoke of the inspiration given the Supreme Court by having with them strong, brainy men of their own to come to them and bring words of cheer, and that it was the omen of greater success for the race for these comings together. Already she has been asked to visit several of the Southern States in the near future and make talks. The Reception and Grand March in the great Auditorium in honor of the Lorge and Court were resplendent in every particular. The Kansas folks hung the latch string on the outside and left no stone unturned to make the stay a pleasant one. In 1923 this great body goes to New York City. Sir Knight Cottrell of Toledo, Ohio, was much in evidence in Supreme Lodge and Court, and everywhere was greeted with honors. REV. B. J. ASKEW BACK AT HIS POST. His many friends are delighted to see the Rev. Mr. B. J. Askew out again, after having been confined in the hospital for several weeks. He is back at his post of duty in the War Department, but will be glad to see any of his friends in the evenings at his home, 1728 You Street Northwest. NOTICE.

The image is oval-shaped with a black border.]] DR. J. R. A. CROSSLAND A FITTING RECOGNITION. Dr. J. R. A. Crossland of St. Joseph, Mo., Who Lost His Only Son in Late War, Appointed "Special Expert" in U. S. Veterans' Bureau—Will Look After. Interests of Colored Soldiers and Sailors. By William H. Davis. A recent enactment by the United States Congress has abolished the Bureau of War Risk Insurance, and in its stead has created the United States Veterans' Bureau, which consolidates under one head all the powers hitherto vested in the Bureau of War Risk Insurance, Federal Board of Vocational Training and the U. S. Public Health Service. The creation of the U. S. Veterans' Bureau is the result of a bill (H. R. 6611) introduced by Hon. Burton E, Sweet of Waverly, Iowa. Hon. Charles R. Forbes of Seattle, Washington, was recently appointed and sworn in as director of said U. S. Veterans' Bureau. One of his first official acts, evidencing his deep interest in colored ex-service men, was to appoint Dr. J. R. A. Crossland, a loyal and active colored American Republican of St. Joseph, Missouri, as a "Special Expert" in said bureau. Dr. Crossland, whose only son, during the recent world war, made the "supreme sacrifice," will especially look after the interests of colored soldiers and sailors and see that they are given all the rights, opportunities and benefits to which they are entitled under existing laws. Withi a force of colored clerks, stenographers, etc., he will have headquarters in the main Veterans' Bureau Building, corner of Vermont Avenue and H Streets, Washington, D. C., and all claims for compensation, war risk insurance, vocational training, rehabilitation, medical treatment, etc.; on the part of ex-service men of our racial group will be carefully looked after if addressed to him. His selection for this important post was advocated and endorsed by the entire Missouri delegation in Congress, including Hon. Charles L. Faust of the Fourth Congressional District, and Senator Selden P. Spencer, who were most active, in his behalf. The position carries with it one of the best salaries yet given to any colored federal appointee. Dr. J. R. A. Crossland is eminent- ly fitted for this position for a number of reasons: (1) He gave his only beloved son during the recent world war as a priceless tribute to the altar of patriotism, which makes him vitally interested in the welfare of all service men; (2) for years he has been an active Republican, persistently pleading with tongue, pen and influence for the triumph of Republican principles and Republican candidates; (3) he is a whole-souled race man, widely and favorably known in fraternal, political, business, educational and religious circles—one who has been successfully engaged in the practice of medicine for the past thirty years, and actively identified with numerous efforts for civic, educational, business and other forms of racial uplift. He is the man for the place, capable in every way of looking after and safeguarding the interests of ex-service men of our racial group. He was the only man, white or black, of the entire Missouri delegation who was unanimously elected a delegate-at-large to the last Republican National Convention. He served under President Roosevelt as U. S. Minister and Consul-General in the Republic of Liberia, in Africa. As a medical practitioner, he has won success and renown, and ex-soldiers are fortunate in having a man of this calibre, deeply interested in their welfare, to look after and prosecute their just claims. Upon being interviewed by your Washington Correspondent, Dr. Crossland said: "My appointment is in line with the wishes very cordially expressed by President Warren G. Harding, Col. Charles R. Forbes, newly appointed director of the U. S. Veterans' Bureau—all of whom are determined to see that colored ex-service men get a square deal and are treated identically the same as other ex-soldiers and sailors. Of course, I am deeply gratified because of my appointment—not so much because of the personal recognition involved, but mainly because it shows that the President and Col. Charles R. Forbes, both keenly appreciate the worth of ex-service men of our racial group and are determined to see that they are given a square deal and are treated identically the same as other American soldiers and sailors in all matters that pertain to their rights under existing laws. My deep and abiding interest in the welfare of ex-service men is plainly witnessed by MANAGER BYARS LEASES THEATRES Former Manager of the Hiawatha, Foraker and Dunbar Theatres Plans Big Business. "My People Shall Have the Best," His Slogan. Manager Rufus G. Byars, the well known smiling former manager of the Crescent Amusement Company, Incorporated, of which he is the vice president, and was manager until his recent misunderstanding with the other members of the corporation, announced today that he had signed a ten-year lease for the New Lincoln Theater, now being built on You Street between 12th and 13th Streets by Harry Crandall, the theatre wizard of the South, and the Broadway Theatre, also under the course of construction on 7th Street between P and Q Streets Northwest. Byars stated that he would not be satisfied with anything but the best in amusement facilities for his people, and to that end he has secured these theatres now being erected at an enormous expense, with contracts for the best in theatrical lines at popular prices. Byars has given up the management unique position as vice president and stockholder. In describing in detail the policies of these houses, Mr. Byars states that the Lincoln Theatre will have seating capacity of 1,800, or more, with ladies' and gents' rest rooms, promenade lounge, smoking rooms and all of the Hiawatha Theatre, with which he was so long connected, but retains his interest as a stockholder in the Dunbar Theatre. He is Vice President of the Crescent Amusement Corporation, with which he has had a difference, therefore, he has resigned as manager, but retains the the fact that my only son—my only child—was their comrade in the recent world war, and made the "supreme sacrifice," dying in the honored uniform of an American soldier. While I am proud of his record, yet I would rather have laid down my life in defense of our country's flag than to have lost my boy—my only son—upon whom the fondest hopes of his mother and father were based. Ex-service men will find in me a true friend and an energetic advocate of all of their rights and interests, and I accept the call because I feel that, in a sense, I am taking up the work left unfinished by my son and am giving up a successful medical practice only because I feel that this new field of labor is one that will afford me an opportunity to render the greatest service to my country and to the fifteen million Negro citizens of this country whose unquestioned valor and patriotism, proven in so many ways, merit for them tangible recognition and encouragement. Colored American soldiers played an important part in the recent world war. Over a million of them were called to the colors, as draftees, and 400,000 of them actually served as soldiers and sailors under the 'Stars and Stripes' and bared their bosoms to Hun bullets, shrapnel, shot and shell on the battlefields of France, in the Argonne Forest, St. Mihiel and Metz. Indeed, in every war that has confronted the American Republic, colored American soldiers and sailors have distinguished themselves and their race by valarous deeps and acts of bravery. The first American blood shed in the Revolutionary War was that of Crispus Attucks, a colored American. Colored American unique position as vice president and stockholder. In describing in detail the policies of these houses, Mr. Byars states that the Lincoln Theatre will have seating capacity of 1,800, or more, with ladies' and gents' rest rooms, promenade lounge, smoking rooms and all the requisites that go to make up a real high class theater. Aside from this another big feature will be the beautiful assembly hall and dancing gardens attached. This will be the finest thing of its kind controlled by our people anywhere in the United States. The Broadway Theatre will be a 700-seat first-run picture house, with ladies' and gents' rest rooms, pipe organ, typhoon cooling system and everything installed to make it pleasing for the patrons. The Lincoln Theatre will play high class road attractions, vaudeville, drama and photoplays, with a costly pipe organ and a symphony orchestra. This house will be as cool in the summer as it is warm in the winter, because it will be equipped with a typhoon system. The architect promises the completion of these enterprises around about the last of November. The temporary office for these enterprises is now located at 1232 You Street Northwest. All communications or business transactions must be directed to the above address. sailors aided Perry on Lake Erie. Colored American sailors, nearly 200,000 strong, helped to 'save the Union' in the 60's, and merited for their entire race Lincoln's emancipation. If there ever was a time in this country which called for a public exhibition of friendship, and gratitude on the part of strong white Americans toward loyal and patriotic members, and especially ex-service men, of our racial group, this is the hour, and I believe that my appointment is but an emblem of the splendid spirit now so necessary and now existing. I am especially grateful to my Congressman, Hon. Charles L. Faust; to Senator Selden P. Spencer, and, indeed, to the entire Missouri delegation in Congress, as well as other prominent and influential citizens, both white and colored; who have so warmly endorsed me, and who have so loyally and actively supported me for this position. I shall give to the position the very best that is in me. It shall be my aim, through real satisfactory service, to remove the despondent feeling that now seems to prevail throughout the length and breadth of this country, especially among ex-service men; to win and deserve their confidence and co-operation; to develop my office, now consisting of only a few colored helpers, to a size more in keeping with the large number of ex-service men of our racial group whose interests are to be carefully looked after, and to conduct my office on the highest plane of practical efficiency."

Let me say to the wise men who are delegated to sit at the Peace Conference, that the only thing that will hold off destructive wars for a while (for no man or set of men can stop them) is a world-wide religious revival of Jesus Christ! Let each one of the nations consecrate itself to the end that they will do unto "All men" as they would have them do unto them. This may go pretty hard with some of them and especially with "Brother Sam," but it is the only panacea for the ills of uncalled-for wars.

(From the New York Age.) George Bernard Shaw, a British author noted for his iconoclastic flings at modern shams and pretensions, recently got under the tough cuticle of American indifference through a letter printed in a recent issue of the New York Nation. This letter was written in George Bernard Shaw, a British author,ffings at modern shams and pretension through cuticle of American indifference to recent issue of the New York Nation. Bernard Shaw, a British author noted for his modern shams and pretensions, recently got of American indifference through a letter p of the New York Nation. This letter was reply to the cordial expression of a wish that Mr. Shaw should visit this country made by Oswald Garrison Villard, editor of the Nation. The response was as follows: "Dear Mr. Villard; This conspiracy has been going on for years; but in vain is the net spread in sight of the bird. I have no intention either of going to prison with Debs or taking my wife to Texas, where the Ku Klux Klan snatches white women out of hotel verandas and tars and feathers them. If I were dependent on martyrdom for a reputation, which happily, I am not, I could go to Ireland. It is a less dangerous place; but then the voyage is shorter and much cheaper. "You are right in your impression that a number of persons are urging me to come to the United States. But why on earth do you call them my friends?" There is no evidence to show that the astute editor of the Nation deliberately invited this puncture of American pretensions to culture and refinement, but knowing the character of the writer whom he addressed, it may be doubted whether the reply was much of a surprise. Mr. Villard himself has done too much in exposing the hypocrisy and hollowness of the vaunted democracy of American institutions to be taken unawares by Mr. Shaw's biting sarcasm. This is not the British author's first attack on the vainness of American pretensions to social justice and the workings of democratic institutions. He has been equally severe in his criticisms of the social order in Great Britain, so it cannot be claimed that he is actuated by national prejudices. In his first book published since the war, entitled "Heartbreak House, Great Catherine, and Playlets of the War," Mr. Shaw has considerable to say about the moral pestilence of the war. His view of how this affected the United States is given in the following words: Yet, it was in the United States of America, where nobody slept the worse for the war, that the war fever went beyond all sense and reason. In European courts there was vindicative illegality; in American courts, there was raving lunacy. * * * The newspaper accounts of the sentences American courts were passing on young girls and old men alike for the expression of opinions which were being uttered before huge audiences in England, and the more private records of the methods by which the American war loans were raised were so amazing that they put the guns and the possibilities of a raid clean out of our head for the moment. Not content with these rancorous abuses of the existing law, the war maniacs made a frantic rush to abolish all constitutional guarantees of liberty and well-being. It will be seen from these excerpts that Mr. Shaw has expressed some strong opinions on the American way of doing things. He evidently has not reached the point of repenting them, even for the sake of the lecture returns and increased royalties on his plays and novels. As a puncturer of the shams of modern civilization through his caustic criticism and biting satire, Bernard Shaw is suggestive of his fellow countryman of an earlier period, Jonathan Swift. Those who would enjoy his productions in lighter vein should read his earlier works, such as "Androcles and the Lion," "Cashel Byron's Profession" and "The Unsocial Socialist." honor, and if he must be stoned to death let him that is without a sin cast the first stone. CHESTERFIELD NILES. A complaint has come to us in the 23 Flatbush Avenue; form of a letter, speaking of the unBrooklyn, N. Y. kind treatment and neglect of our Jack Johnson was sent to the penitentiary because he was a black man that dared to marry a white woman. He thereby technically violated a law in the home of the brave and in the land of the free. His morals may be bad, but can they be compared with that of many of those that have and are holding the limes light in many, if not in all, of our fair cities? He served his time, and is not the theory of our government that when a crime is paid for it is wiped out? If so, who make Johnson an exception to this rule? Many of our multi-millionaires have been criminals. Their crimes were soon forgotten, not solely through their great wealth, but because they were white men, yet we are told that God out of one blood created all races of men to dwell on the face of the earth. Jack Johnson has been and is yet a spoke in a great wheel that has helped to keep alive the pugilistic game. If there are no fighters there will be no game. If he has erred he has paid the penalty, and now comes before us, a penitent, knocking at the door of opportunity. Why do so many fighters, managers of same, and so-called fight promoters cry out, bar the door in the face of one who at some time or other helped them or theirs to achieve prominence of which they now boast? The custom of treating a fighter as a public character and mixing his personality with his fighting ability is erroneous as well as disgusting. Are we interested in their family affairs, their religion, morality or the color of their eyes? No, the thing we are desirous of knowing is: Can they fight, and how much? All of us know that Johnson could, fight, and was recognized, by all as one of the greatest boxers the ring has ever known. Now of we are looking for the best man, forget, such petty prejudices and open the door of opportunity to one and all in the game. There should be no color line. Let the best man win. There was no color line when the shells were falling like raindrops upon Flanders battlefields, together they fought, together they fell; therefore give Johnson or anyone else a fair chance to redeem their lost honor, and if he must be stoned to death let him that is without a sin cast the first stone. RECEIVES GREAT HONORS. To add to the woman members of our race who have this year received the signal distinction of earning a degree as a doctor of philosophy, one of the well known teachers of the public schools in this city has been highly honored. Miss Georgiana Simpson was born in this city, received her early education, graduating from the public high and normal schools, successively. Her talent was highly inspired by her teachers, which caused her to determine to continue her work and aim for the highest in education. After finishing Normal School, Miss Simpson went to Germany, there entering the Wahrendorf Hoherctochertschule at Rostock. This famous institution is the home of many leading figures of scholastic Germany. The same honors which Miss Simpson had won in this country were again made known in the foreign country, and as soon as it was learned that she had won such high honors she was at once appointed in the M Street High School as a teacher in Germany as soon as she could return to this country. While teaching in the school in this city her summer vacations were still spent in studies. Several summers were spent at the university in Chicago, from which she received her degree of A. B. in 1911. The following three summers she joined the large army of teachers, and went to France. While overseas the war started, which caused her to live for over a month and a half the life of a civil prisoner, until finally she escaped and came to America with other refugees. Since that time she resumed her work at the University of Chicago and in the past two weeks she earned the degree of A. M. in Germanic philology (June, 1920), and her Ph. D. cum laude in Germanic literature, June, 1921. She is the first woman of her race to be thus honored in America, and with her high honors has caused us to have three Doctors of Philosophy, Dr. G. Simpson of the University of Chicago; Dr. Sadie Mossell, University of Pennsylvania; Dr. Eva Dykes, University of Radcliffe; all during the year of 1921. These doctors are all products of the schools of this city. Beauty Aids for Dark Complexions people at Blue Plains. It is a matter that should engage the attention of social workers and our ministers. We should investigate all activities which have to do with our people, and make constructive suggestions. We are taught in the Bible that prophets and teachers spoke in burning terms against social injustice; the grinding down of the poor; oppression; low wages; cruelty, and extortion. Jesus greatly concerned Himself about social conditions. Recall His teaching, concerning the poor, the sick, the downtrodden, the outcast, the prodigal, and His knowledge of farming, fishing and taxes. Turn to Matthew, 23rd chapter, 25th and 26th verses, and read His denunciation of evil. He does not approve of graffers, for he drove them out. Mark, 11:15-16. "Happy are those who invest their lives for others, in any capacity of service in the name of the Master." Those who from time to time visit Union Station and give a word of cheer to our people who come into the city from the South, and render assistance otherwise, are helpful socially. We hope the time is not far distant when there shall be a paid worker of our race to look after these travelers—strangers at our door. The Bible is a storehouse of suggestions for social service activities in the community. Do not be partisan, narrow or fanatical. Do not compromise the Christian standards of morality, justice or spirituality. Much is being done and said about making things worth while for the young people, which is quite right. Little is said and done for the aged, however. More attention should be given to this group in their declining days. Create a community interest in the old people, and aim to bring sunshine into their lives. We are glad that our splendid Superior of Playgrounds, Mrs. Susie Root Rhodes, is providing more playgrounds for the children of Washington. Many new ones are being opened for all the children, irrespective of color. Do not fail to teach our children the evil effects of alcohol, drugs and nicotine, notwithstanding the 18th Amendment to the Constitution. Parental responsibility and the family altar are waning. Is it because of poor housing conditions? Trained Christian teachers are as great a necessity for our children as is medical and dental inspection. E. V. C. Williams, Chairman Social Service Committee, Y. W. C. A., 1523 Corcoran Street, Northwest. WORTHY OF PRAISE Perhaps it would interest the many friends of Rev. J. Luther Martin to read the following excerpt from the New York Age, commenting on his serial poem entitled "Ethiopia," now being published in the Washington Bee. (New York Age.) The Washington Bee recently printed a liberal installment of verses entitled "The History of Ethiopia in Rhyme," written by the Rev. J. Luther Martin of Washington, D. C., and dedicated to "the colored American race the world over." We give a sample of composition: Ham had four sons—good and noble; Misraim, was the first of them. He it was who founded Egypt—Greatest Kingdom known to men! He built the great city—Memphis; Where the Nile for acons didst flow. He was the first to make a river, From one course to another go. Out from Egypt went forth Cerops, Who did the foundation lay Of the Grecian city—Athens, The most glorious in her day! The vast pyramids were builted, By the great Egyptian kings; They are wonders of all ages— None these days can build such things! And the Sphinx! Oh wonderous lady! Who didst carve the glorious face! And thy body like a lion— Who didst make it with such grace? As a facile rhymster the Rev. Mr. Martin is no slouch of a historian. Martin is no slouch of a historian. The Bee desires to say that as a poet and historian Rev. J. L. Martin ranks deservedly high. His poem, "Ethiopia," is attracting much attention through the country. Truly a new poetical star is approaching the horizon. The Bee wishes it much glory, success and splendor in its ascendency. H. Edgar Lewis PURE DRUGS 63rd & Eastern Ave., N.E.

Some have tried to minimize his achievement, and some have tried to damn his race, while reluctantly acknowledging him. The New York Daily News, for example, said that no other colored American had amounted to anything in athletics, implying that therefore it was a mere ACCIDENT in Gourdin's case. The editor of that paper showed his ignorance (or prejudice), for all others know of Marshall of Lewis, of Matthews of Drew, of Bullock, and even of Earl Johnson, who was running away from the field in the marathon race a Pasadena while the little editor was penning his belittling lines. But the truth stands out: that Gourdin is the greatest track star that Harvard has produced, or any other American University, so far as we have heard, and we have not heard of any foreign university which has produced his equal. Tell that to the Daily News. But we are thinking. What would have happened to Gourdin and to Harvard if such American pdejudice as that displayed by this editor had had its way? Gourdin never would have been heard of. If he had gone to Princeton or to Yale, he never would have been heard from. They would have proven that he could not outjump the white boys BY NOT LETTING HIM JUMP. That is the effective American method of proving the colored American's inferiority—by putting him down at the tail end of the list without letting him compete. Gourdin won for Harvard; the record he made is made for Har- DR. W. L. SMITH'S INDICES TION CURSE.

Other institutions are shutting out their own chances by KEEPING OUT THE COLORED AMERICAN, for undoubtedly the colored American students are, in proportion to their numbers, by far the greater athletes. But most of the schools would rather lose than win through a colored American. Harvard has sense enough to know that as the ages roll by it will not be said that a COLORED AMERICAN BEAT WHITE BOYS JUMPING, but that HARVARD ATHLETES BEAT ALL. OTHERS JUMPING. The permanent gain is for Harvard. Harvard has stuck to Gourdin and Gourdin has often won for Harvard. When Southern schools objected to Gourdin, Harvard has given up its place in the contest rather than to insult Gourdin or humiliate him by asking him to stay out and "be diplomatic" or "modest" to please Southern prejudice. But now, if the editor of the New York Daily News or the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court had been President of Harvard, when white colleges in Virginia said they would not compete with a "nigger," the colored lad would have been dropped and left in Cambridge, "tact" would have been used, lies told, and the white members of the Harvard team would have been sent on down to Virginia to compete—and lose. We give it to Harvard, that they choose well, not for Gourdin, but for Harvard. Harvard acted, not pro-colored, but pro-Harvard. All the credits are theirs, the credits of the contest and the credits of common morals.—Do it again. BEAUTY AIDS FOR DARK COMPLEXIONS. How Art Improves Upon Nature.

A large number of the friends from here journeyed to Herndon, Va., Sunday afternoon to attend the funeral services of Mrs. Bessie Rumbles, who passed away while visiting friends in East Aurora, N. Y. Mrs. Rumbles, after the death of her husband and baby, just a little over a year ago, had made her home with Mrs. Juanita Ford and though complaining prior to her going away, her death was a shock to the community.

What a wonderful thing is reorganization when inspired by a feeling of racial solidarity. No white man save his immediate oppressors seemed interested in Jim, the peon; but Jim, the "bar n—r," the fugitive, the alleged rapist, attracted the attention of the governments of half a dozen neighboring states, and of the whole white world through the Associated Press. Who can calculate the value of the money and the time spent in efforts to apprehend this "criminal"? And who can refrain from speculating as to how much more good even the hundredth part of that money and time and attention might have accomplished, had they been bestowed on the education and training of this human being through his childhood and youth? Within a few hours the great press had made this unfortunate and unknown creature notorious. A special representative of the Little Rock newspapers had visited the scene and published thrilling myths of this almost superhuman demon, "a very light-skinned Negro." Not a single word, however, was offered in explanation of his lightness of skin. The papers naturally got things a bit mixed up and told how "Jim," a mongrel creature with no surname, had betrayed the confidence of his employer, John Elliot, a prominent white planter; had criminally assaulted this planter's little daughter; and that the child was hardly expected to live. Jim was credited with having attempted to foment a general uprising among the blacks and overthrow the government of white people and force upon them "social equality" and other horrors. Failing in this, because of the courage and generalship of one "Colonel" Brough, he had then attempted to abduct the wealthy planter, John Elliot, as a hostage, and had held him a prisoner for several days until the insurrectionist was forced to retreat by a sudden onslaught from Brough. He then fled in stolen "automobiles," compelling a few blacks at the point of his gun to follow him. One faraway Northern editor, innocently reflecting all these lies and fictions, said that "this hybrid, who is perhaps Caucasian and Indian rather than Negro, is the Villa of Arkansas." The governor of Missouri had dispatched officers to Poplar Bluff to search every train and take this outlaw, dead or alive. The governor of Arkansas had trains stopped and searched at Hoxje before the entertered Missouri. In their haste and excitement orders had been issued from Little Rock only for the arrest of Jim, "a very bright mulatto, with Anglo-Saxon features, intelligent, probably passing for white." But when Aunt Katy saw them overpowering Jim, she joined promptly in the fight and was also seized and held by the officers. The lively fight put up by Jim and Aunt Katy attracted all attention to themselves, so that Essie and Mary were unnoticed. In the confusion they were left on the train and escaped into Missouri. *** Aunt Katy and Jim were hurried back to the place from which they had escaped. What a gala day in all that country-side when the news spread: "They caught him!" What glad tidings: "They got that n—r!" It was the merry greeting of every little white child: "Gee! Won't they lynch him, though?" Nobody seemed to have the remotest idea of courts, trials and convictions. It was like as if a wild beast, dangerous to the whole community, had been trapped, and everybody was to go now and witness its slaughter and rejoice. What a strange fellow the man would have seemed who raised a question as to guilt. Everybody knew that Jim was guilty; everybody had known it for weeks. Even the editors in Boston and San Francisco, while regretting in a few words the evil of lynch-law, had written many-worded anathemas against the dastardly crimes of this combination of intellectual genius and moral degeneracy. When Jim and Aunt Katy were brought back to the little village, or business center, of the plantation, bells were rung, guns were fired, and everybody, even the colored people, turned out as a matter of course to see. Returning heroes crowned with the laurels of victory could not have attracted more attention. Both of them were immediately lodged in jail. There seemed to be perfect harmony and good will between the officers of the law and the people. A certain spirit of preparation was in the air. People at their suppers hurriedly, if they ate at all. Yes, they were to witness the biggest event in the history of the village—a double lynching—"a n—r man and a n—r wench." Pool Aunt Katy, to whose age the last few days had seemed to add as many years, had grown equally as much in fame. Rumor had made her a great sorceress and really the archfiend in the whole deviltry, whatever it was. Most of the gathering mob could not tell just what the crime was. Of course, murder and rape and "little white girls" were mixed up in it; but just who, when, how many and how much, noboby had clearly in mind. But a conviction and a determination possessed all minds, and doubt would have been insanity. And most of these people, in fact, nearly all of them, did not feel that anything wrong was about to be done, but something gloriously right or vindicatory, almost religious and sacred. Generations before, men had not felt that anything was going wrong in New England when they burned old women for witches. Those who were not to be performers or participants were to be the audience or the "fans," as at ball games or bull fights. The relative merits of hanging or shooting or burning were freely discussed. Finally, a compromise plan was hit upon. Aunt Katy and Jim were to be taken out to the back of Elliot's barn, to the tree where Jim, as rumor now ran, had done his best to "murder old man Elliot." They were to be hung and shot; and then they were to be dragged back to the village square and burned. This program would satisfy all reasonable tastes. A huge pile of boards, boxes, pine knots and straw was in evidence before nightfall. Meanwhile, other fates were at work among other people in other parts of the world. William Elliot was doing service in the French army and had requested his aunt, Madame Dupree, to read all his mail from America before sending it to him. This was partly a precaution because his mother often sent messages in letters to him for her sister, and also because he hoped has aunt might save him much time by replying immediately to some of these letters. So it happened, that comfortably seating herself in the boudoir of her Paris home, Madame Dupree opened and read the following letter, stirring herself occasionally to see if she were awake: "Dere master William, i no you will forgive yo own mammy, an i you because i am a por mizerable creetur, an has nobody in this world but Essie an you, an Jim. An the one you thinks you belong to, an yo ma. She red all yo letters to me an i no ther aint no collar line no race hate in france, an if you no the truth you wood hep yo own mammy an granny out from here, you not miss Elliots baby, i done it myself. i can explain to you Jim is hern. You wuz put in his place when you wuz to little babes. yo sister Mary do not no. i rite myself she direck envellup for me. you lerned nouff in that free country to no collor dont count an you wont mine heppin yo own mammy an me an yo sister Mary. The burnt chile wuz hern mis Elliots, i can prove, if you sen for us. "Essie nose, i jes tole her, but she wont rite for fere hurtin you., She dont no i rite. you sen letter in my name. yo Own granma, With the swiftness of those who are fired with desperate purpose, Madame Dupree made plans at once to visit America and her sisters. Monsieur Dupree had often suggested that she do so; and now for fear that she might change her mind he refrained from expressing surprise, or asking any questions about, her sudden decision. Her journey to Arkansas was begun the following day. (Concluded Next Week.) (Copyright, 1921, by William Pickens. Released Exclusively by the Kelley Newspaper Feature Service. All Rights Reserved.) THE STORY AS TOLD OF THE OUTBREAK AGAINST COLOR-ED RESIDENTS AT DIXON, ILL., BY MRS. GRACE L. TRENT. Gambling, Vice and Labor Jealousy Cause of Trouble—Rain Storm Cools the Blood Thirsty Mobs. (Special to The Washington Bee.) Mrs. Grace L. Trent, 117 West Seventeenth avenue, who was called to Dixon, Ill. on account of the illnes of a close friend, gives a vivid account of the unpleasant experiences which she went through. Dixon is a small town, supported largely by the employment provided by the cement plant located there. For years the colored and white people have lived peacefully. Of late many white people of southern descent have come in, but the fine blooded whites have continued their fair treatment of all alike. One serious mistake was made, however, when a colored man by the name of Starks was allowed to open a "club." This was not approved by the better classes, but he was given protection. The race riot was caused by a white man being killed in this club by a colored man. The city officials and sheriff performed their duty and kept the men scattered. But whites who were desirous of getting the colored peoples jobs kept up agitation until finally after several days, they began, at midnight, their attacks. Daily automobiles loaded with blood-thirsty lawbreakers would dash through the city, chasing innocent colored men, while others would burn a house occupied by them. White Citizens Defend Colored. The situation was getting past human endurance. The best class of whites were determined the outrages should cease. Many women and men threw themselves in the way of the mob and protected innocent colored fugitives at the risk of their own lives. Finally a terrific rain and cloud-burst, such as had never been witnessed in the history of Dixon, accompanied by intense thunder and lightning forced the demons to abandon their machines and seek shelter. The storm lasted practically the whole night and when it was over and the flooded streets had drained, the mob was checked. Even yet reports come of sporadic attacks on persons, suspected of the crime or of some other offense. Cut out gambling, vice, favoritism labor jealousies and enforce all laws alike and riots will cease. OUST PROFESSOR KERLIN FOR LETTER TO ARKANSAS GOVERNOR. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today announced receipt of news that Robert T. Kerlin, professor of English at Virginia Military Institute, and author of "The Voice of the Negro," had been expelled from his position because of a letter he wrote to the Governor of Arkansas, asking him to review the cases of the colored American farmers sentenced to death in connection with the Arkansas riots. In the letter Professor Kerlin wrote to the Governor of Arkansas, he stated that the colored American farmers of Arkansas were the victims of peonage; that they had neither instigated nor begin the riots as was shown in the trial before the Arkansas Supreme Court; that they had armed themselves only after being threatened and molested; and that the convicted colored American farmers had been tortured by whipping and an electric chair during their trials to make them testify as the white landlords wanted them to. "The time will yet come," said Prof. Kerlin's letter, "when the world with full knowledge of this will be revolted by such Congo barbarity." Because of his championship of these victims of Arkansas "justice," Professor Kerlin was handed a resolution passed by the Board of Visitors of Virginia Military Institute, asking for his immediate resignation. Professor Kerlin refused to resign and the Board of Visitors thereupon passed another resolution depriving him of his professorship. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today made public a letter sent to a colored post of the American Legion, Mitchel Davis Post, 182, by the Mayor of Trenton, N. J., in which that official stated he would take all possible action to thwart the progress of the Ku Klux Klan. The letter reads os follows "I wish to take this occasion of acknowledging the letter of August 6th, sent to me by the committee of the --- 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.

"In reply to your letter, I wish to advise your committee that as long as I remain Mayor of the City of Trenton I will take every possible action to prevent the usurpation of any citizen's rights and privileges, regardless of race, creed or color. Likewise, I shall use all my official power to thwart the progress of any organization designed to upset the friendly relations that exist in Trenton between our white and colored citizens. I am strongly against the promotion of any agency that may create interracial distrust or friction, and your committee may rely upon my active support at all times to prevent the fomenting of such a condition in Trenton.

DETERMINED TO HAVE RESTORED INDEPENDENCE Dr. Syngman Rhee returns to Washington after a year in the Orient. He reports the Koreans as determined as ever for restored independence, and his mission in Washington is to act as the head of a delegation from Korea to fight for their rights at the coming Disarmament Conference. He gives out the following authorized interview: "I am returning to Washington because the Korean case will necessarily be considered at the coming Conference, and I shall make my headquarters in Washington until the Conference is closed. "If Far Eastern Questions are to be settled before disarmament, then the Korean question is one of the most vital matters to be adjusted. It is international. Japan may claim that it is domestic, but it involves treaties other powers made with Korea that have never been abrogated by the parties who made them. "Every nation participating in the conference has contracted to use its good offices to relieve Korea from appression, and we shall see whether treaties are still regarded as scraps of paper." "Freedom, independence and the 'open door' in Korea mean freedom, independence and the 'open door' in all Asia, for Korea is the breakwater against the tide of Japanese imperialism and autocracy. "If treaties are to have the same force and effect in the Far East that they should have over the world—if they are not to be mere scraps of paper—then the Korean question is one to be taken up at the Disarmament Conference. "The mere fact that ten nations stood by and saw these things done and that they have not up to this time used their 'good offices' in protest, though under moral and international treaty obligations to do so, does not make the acts 'accomplished The Grammar School The Academy The School of Arts and Sciences The Department of Music ORM OPENS SEPTEMBER 21, 18 rurther information and Catalog, ad JES E.

Ten persons may have witnessed a murder and may not have attempted to prevent it; they may have even shaken hands with the murderer afterwards, but that does not mitigate the crime or prevent the family of the victim from obtaining such restitution as it can from the murderer. There is no reason why Korean question should not be considered and settled. I have great hopes that it will be." NATIONAL BUSINESS LEAGUE HOLD HARMONIOUS SESSION. Atlanta, Ga.—There wasn't any fight. In fact, there were no outward signs of anything to fight about. Anyhow, the convention was a huge and harmonious success. President Moton was re-elected by acclamation, and Secretary Scott was returned with equal unanimity of approval. The general opinion among the participants in its deliberations that this was one of the most successful conventions in the history of the National Business League. It is true that there was a slight ripple of alarm when the redoubtable Ben Davis launched into a vitrolic attack on everything in general and nothing in particular. But when he relinquished the floor normality was soon reached and the convention went on its ramonious way as though nothing had happened to roughen its waters. The financial management came in for a small measure of criticism, but all else in the proceedings was cleared up with dispatch and good feeling. Robert R. Moton was the big, outstanding figure in the convention. Whatever there has been of misgivings as to the quality of this man's leadership it has given way to an unqualified admiration of the man, and a very general opinion that he is fast becoming one of the real leaders in the history of the race in this country. His opening address is regarded a masterpiece of tast, wisdom and splendid oratory. J. C. Ross, the president of the local league, made a good impression on the convention. Among the other men who stood out and attracted much attention were: Charles Banks of Mount Bayou, Miss.; P. Edward Perry of Savannah, Ga.; Charles A. Shaw of Atlanta, Ga.; Bert Roddy of Memphis, Tenn.; Harry H. Pace, the phonograph, manufacturer, of New York City; Mrs. Mary B. Talbert of Buffalo, N. Y.; and J. Finley Wilson, the president of the National Negro Press Association. Atlanta was lavish in her hospitality. From Mayor James L. Key and T. K. Gibson, who welcomed the delegates in the name of the Atlanta local, down to the humblest citizen, the Queen City of the South kept open house and gave of her rich store a bountiful abundance. The officers were: Robert R. Moton, Tuskegee Institute, Ala., president; Charles Banks, Mound Bayou, Miss., first vice president; C. H.
