No utterances dealing with the race question in the last half century is regarded with more significance than those coming from the lips of President Warren G.

XLII NO. 23 Pre An Equa Opp President Harding in Powerful Better Class in Both Section of State Appl (By regular staff No utterances dealing with century is regarded with more si- the lips of President Warren G. H. Park in Birmingham, Ala. The President, apparently in the best humor, spoke right from the shoulder and left no doubt with those, who heard him how he stood on the issue and what must be done to produce better feeling between the races. In the very heart of the South and to an exclusive southern audience composed of colored and white, the Chief Executive for an hour or more said some mighty plain things and phrased them in a way as to indicate that the time had come for concerted action. As the President faced his hearers an American flag high in the air divided the two races. The moment was tense; all eyes fixed. "Whether you like it or not, if our democracy is a lie, you must stand for this," he said firmly, gazing down into the crowd. As the ground, was being covered, closest attention was being paid and when the President touched upon the political and economic level of the colored race, the white remained sullenly silent, while the colored gave rounds of applause. As was expected, Mr. Harding got very little demonstration from his ARMISTICE CRUSADE FOR EQUAL RIGHTS. Inauguration of Second Colored Democracy Congress at Doors of World Disarmament Conference The National Headquarters of the National Equal Rights League, Rev. M. A. N. Shaw, president, 34 Cornhill, has issued the following bulletin and appeal: The widespread dissemination of the call of the National Equal Rights League, Rev. M. A. N. Shaw, president, for a National Equal Rights Armistice Day observance on November 11th or the following Sunday, November 13, by the leading colored newspapers of the country has aroused great interest in the movement and many such equal rights observances are being planned. As these meetings serve the object of justice in a double way: First by calling attention to the violation of the cause for which our soldier boys gave their lives and second by inaugurating a movement to send delegates to the Second World Democracy Congress of the League at Washington, December 14 to 16, at the doors of the world disarmament conference, it is very desirable that all the meetings be united in one grand co-operative whole. To this end, in accord with the call issued, the league asks that everybody join with the local Equal Rights League in holding the meeting where there is one or that a local league be formed for the purpose or an equal rights committee. Otherwise let the mass meeting or meetings be held by any other organizations or any churches or societies who will thus help the race. In all cases the chairman or secretary is asked to send a note of what was done to the corresponding secretary of the league, W. Monroe Trotter, 34 Cornhill. Mass meetings which are to be a part of this equal rights movement The Washington Bei white listeners, but time and again glanced over to the colored spectators, who were endorsing every expression he made. The President strongly advocated a new race relation and declared it was no longer a question of the South exclusively, but one effecting the entire world and it was up to America to take the lead, throw down petty prejudices and teach the highest ideals. Equal political rights and educational advantages for both races, the President passionately urged and he backed this up with a stronger feeling when he turned to the colored side and said, "Be the best possible black man and not an imitation white man." It was estimated about 10,000 persons were present, one-half being colored. Gov. Thomas E. Kilby, who had a seat in the rostrum and followed the President very closely had this to say: "In my opinion Mr. Harding gave a clear and conservative statement of the race question and I heartily approve it." for a National Race Convention at the doors of this Second World Conference, from which our delegates cannot be kept this time by the denial of passports, can be arranged on brief notice because the race is interested in this arms, conference. A quick, strong, earnest get-together will greatly help the race. A month will then remain for arranging to send delegates to this world democracy congress called and conducted by the league from local leagues, equal rights committees, or any other race body. Credentials from any race body will entitle to full participation in the congress. A HINT TO VISITORS.

C., UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE BLAINE INVINCIBLE REPUBLICAN CLUB. Shall the American Government Still Fail to Protect the Rights of the American Negro? The Blaine Invincible Republican Club of Washington, D. C., looks for action in emergencies created by mob violence, lynching, Jim Crow car law, non enforcement of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States. Shall the services of Charles Sumner, Thaddeus Stevens, Ben Wade, Wendall Phillips, Crispus Attuck, Robert Elliott Brown, Frederick Douglas, John M. Langston, Samuel Ringold Ward, Henry Highland Garnett, Dr. McCune Smith, and many others be forgotten when they offered their lives for the government of the people; by the people and for the people to make it mean all it should be to the people both white and black? The time is here when we have to remind the American Government that we are cognizant of the obligation they owe us as well as our obligations to it. It was the good old Republican party which saw that a government could not peacefully flourish by granting justice to some of its people and denying justice to at least 15,000,000 of its most reliable American citizens. We are soliciting the support of every person, every church, every society, every association, every club and every organization in every town, city, county and state in these United States to affiliate with the Blaine Invincible Republican Club which has been in existence in the National Capital since 1874. It is earnestly requested that every church, society, association, club and organization will make arrangements for election or selection of delegates and forward the same to Francis Wells, President of the Blaine Invincible Republican Club, 1908 9th Street Northwest, Washington, D. C. We want to have delegates to represent every congressional District in the United States. Our only protection will be the result of organization. The Convention will organize all Negro forces in the United States to advocate protection of colored American interest, life and property. The convention will be called to meet at 12 o'clock noon the 30th day of November, and continue its sessions each evening at 8 p. m. for three consecutive days. On the first Monday in December the convention will have prepared and made ready to place before the officials of the American government the results of their deliberations. With this purpose in view the Blaine Invincible Republican Club unreservedly intends to see that the foregoing declarations are carried out. The Blaine Invincible Republican Club. *** The Annual Banquet of the Blaine Invincible Republican Club was enjoyed by over sixty guests at Odd Fellows' Hall, M Street, near 15th, October 27th. This club was organized April 16th, 1876. The present officers spared no pains nor efforts to make this banquet the grand success that it was. They extended a courteous welcome to all the guests. The officers are as follows: President, Mr. Francis Wells; First Vice President, Mr. R. H. Jones; Second Vice President, Mr. R. B. Blount; Financial Secretary, Mr. Charles Hamer; Recording Secretary, Mr. W. H. Blalock; Treasurer, Mr. W. E. Jones; Attorney, Mr. E. G. Hubert; Chaplain, Mr. G. W. Grayson; Sergeant-at-Arms, Mr. G. Washington; Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms, Mr. W. E. Cameron; Marshal, Mr. James Matthews; Chairman of Executive Board, Mr. J. E. Cameron; Banding Committee, Messrs. Alexander Frazier and J. Hawkins. The writer had the pleasure of meeting the officers, and wishes to publicly thank them for courtesies extended. Promptly at 9 o'clock the Oriental Orchestra, under the direction of Prof. T. H. Wallace, who led with the violin, began the musical renditions of the evening. The other members of the orchestra are as follows: Messrs. Frederick Slade, pianist; Sidney Quillian, cornet, and William A. Stewart, drummer. While there were but these four musicians, yet one would have thought that there were a dozen, the execution of the score being rendered so passionately. The writer noticed that some of the guests stopped eating to listen to the music, especially those pieces where the voice-free men sang beautifully. Quite a few of the officers and members were dressed in striking, finely lengthened, dove-colored Prince Alberts. They not only gave them a fine, manly appearance, but made them look really as if they were "invincible." If James G. Blaine was to return to earth and see this fighting organization, he would be proud of these men of honor, who delight to keep in fond remembrance his illustrious name. The badges of the club were of "Hellespont Blue," blazed with gold trimmings, and a superb gold fringe, and bore the likenesses of Perry Carson and James G. Blaine. At the appointed hour we assembled around the snow-white tables, groaning under the feast. The menu consisted of celery, pickles, creamed oysters, a-la Jackson. The writer is not versed in the Hindo language, but, in "Esperantolilybus," "a-la" in this case means "oysters creamed"; chicken croquettes, Petti de Poise. The writer would like to suggest to the chefs and the chiffoniers the country over, that when you have a banquet and covers are laid for 200 or more, and you have peas, take each one of them separate and cut it in half so that it will not roll off of your knife. There is no extra charge for this valuable information. Then you could call it, say, "creamed mushrooms a-la split peas." Candied yams, potatoes, Burbank; potato salad, a-la Wells. The "a-la" was as good as the salad; fig newtons, cocoa, cheese, cream crackers, ice cream, fancy cakes, cigars a-la Cameron. The gentlemen got the cigars and the ladies got the "a-la," which in this case was the smoke. The speech that President Harding made at Birmingham, "A-la-bam-a," was heartily applauded. After this sumptuous repast was concluded the president, in a striking manner, stated that this was a family affair. He said that we must "work out our own salvation." He then introduced Judge Hewlett. The speaker told us that we should be men, and that we should not be afraid to even risk our lives if the cause demanded it, like the brave men and women did who organized and operated "the underground railroad." He urged the race to get together. In speaking of the discrimination to which the race is subjected in the District of Columbia, he declared that the "Civil Rights Bill" is still operative. It was declared unconstitutional in the States, but is still functionable in the District. Other speakers followed and highly entertained the audience. POTOMAC DISTRICT RALLY TURNER MEMORIAL A. M. E. CHURCH The Potomac District rally at Turner Church Sunday afternoon was a grand success from every angle. The total receipts for the afternoon session were $158.36. The writer being busy in many ways, was not able to get the amount reported by all the churches, and of this he regrets the fact but Metropolitan reported $50. The other reports will be announced later. The financial question out of the way, the writer wishes to say that rally from a spiritual point of view was glorious. The meeting was graced by the presence of Bishop I. N. Ross, Prof. J. R. Hawkins, secretary of the financial department, A. M. E. Church; Presiding Elder Briscoe, Rev. Dr. C. M. Tanner, Rev. A. A. Murray, Bladensburg, Md. Rev. Dr. O. E. Jones, Rev. John Porter, Rev. Charles E. Wesley, Ebenezer; Rev. G. W. Nicholas, St. Paul's, and other divines. The devotional services were conducted by the presiding elder. The music was rendered by Brown's choir, of whom there was a "write up" in last week's Bee. Dr. Jones preached the rally sermon. Brown's Church news of last week will tell one of the magnetic power of Dr. Jones. Text from Matthew, 16:18. The outstanding thought of the serman was that "the church cannot fail"—for "The gates of hell shall not prevail against thee." During the exposition of the passage he asked the question of the Saviour's, "Whom do ye say that I am?" The answer, "Thou art the Christ the Son of the Living God," showed for all time the divinity of Christ and the Sonship of Jesus. Throughout the discourse, not only were we all instructed, but we had "food for thought" given us, and we thank you, Doctor, for your fine exegesis. The secretary, Prof. Hawkins, supervised the collection. In his masterful talk previous to the collection, he spoke of the church as "the outstanding feature of civilization." The writer is glad to announce that Turner paid previous to the rally $750. Dr. C. M. Tanner, whom the writer greatly admires, delivered the same message to us as he did to his own congregation in the morning, when he urged with all his power for all of his members who could do so, to come with him to Turner, and those who found it inconvenient to go. The message is as follows coming to from the Presiding Bishop, J. Albert Johnson: "To the officers and members of Turner Mission: "While the trustees of the Baltimore Conference refused to assume the debt of the church this action was not to be construed as indicating any lack of interest on the part of the Bishop or the conference in the success of the mission. "The Bishop wishes the congregation to know and the public to know that he is greatly interested in the success of the church and will aid them in anyway possible in the struggle." (Lack of space—Continued next week.) WARNS VIRGINIA COLORED VOTERS AGAINST THE LILY WHITE REPUBLICANS. To the Editor of the Baltimore Sun: As the great political fight is on in the State of Virginia, and as your paper is so widely circulated throughout this country, I beg space through its columns to say a few words to the colored voters who for many years have been used as, mere stepping stones for the white officeseekers to get in office. Having been faithful to the Republican party for all these many years it is regrettable that what is called a "lily-white" Republican party has been organized in Virginia to the exclusion of the colored voters of that State. These few "lily-whites" are far more enemies of the colored race than the Democrats are. It seems that the great Republican victory of 1920 has caused these modern office seekers to lose their head! They seem to ignore the old saying, "United we stand, but divided we fall!" These new Republican proselytes have got it into their heads that they can throw the captured voters overboard and catch up enough straggling Democrats to win the election in Virginia this year. But it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah than for Col. Henry W. Anderson to win over Senator Lee Trinkle for the governorship in Virginia this year. One of Anderson's strongest (but weakest) points against the Democrats is that the Democratic party of Virginia has been in power for the last 30 years. Well, what better recommendation need the Democrats want than to know that they have given a satisfactory account of themselves for all these many years? Could not the people have turned them out if their administration had not been satisfactory? Certainly they could. But the Democrats have made good in the eyes of the people, for thirty or more years and they will win out against the "lily-whites" for thirty years to come. I rejoice in the fact that the colored voters had sense and manhood enough to withdraw their support from Henry W. Anderson and the rest of that lily-white gang who seeks to deny them their constitutional rights as true American citizens. And I want to thank Senator Lee Trinkle for having the courage not to inject the race question in his fight for the governorship of the State, for such a gentleman as he is worthy of respect and support. To the colored men and women voters of Virginia let me, as one of your co-sufferers in this great republic, say to you to stand together in this great uncalled for and shameful political fight. Stand together! For if the lily-whites win in this coming election I very much fear that you will never outlive the harm it will do the race. I verily believe it would be a good and wise thing if the gentleman heading the lily-black ticket would come down and all throw their support to the Democratic ticket in order to make sure of defeat for the lily-white negrohaters of that State. Good luck to the true Republican party, but damn its lily-white wing! J. C. Cunningham. Washington, D. C., Oct. 31. THE WORD "NEGRO." One of the things which keeps alive the feeling between the colored and white races is the word "Negro." What is it? Where did it originate? Is it rightly applied? It stands as a great signpost at the gateway of the thoughts of the individuals who use it, and think of nothing else—like signs used throughout the South; over the doors of the stations and on the cars as they go to and from the stations—which are inflammatory. Permit me to reply in your Forum to the Rev. Dr. J. Luther Martin. Some weeks ago I wrote you a letter of commendation on the "History of Ethiopia in Rhyme." I suggested how your readers could cooperate with him to make his list of colored worthies as complete as possible. I set an example, and in doing so made an error, naming Pindar, a Greek, instead of Terence, a Roman, speaking from memory. Later I volunteered to correct that error, and at the same time raised the question whether Terence, because he was born in North Africa, was a colored man; Dr. Mattin at first thanked me for my public notice of his rhymes. But his gratitude was short lived. He now openly ridicules and scolds me on several grounds, to wit: (1) for my frankly confessed error in naming Pindar for Terence; (2) for asking him a question about the race of Terence and forcing him to study up on the question; (3) for not knowing without asking that Terence was a colored man; (4) for doing him an injustice by forcing him to study on the subject; (5) for confusing Greece and Rome; (6) for failing to appreciate his purpose of writing the history in rhyme. I did not confuse Greece and Rome. I gave the name of a Greek when intending to name a Roman (Terence), and I myself corrected that error. I believe it is plain what his general purpose was in writing the history in rhyme, but no one ought to be blamed for not knowing his chief object. I am trying to help Dr. Martin. I do not yet know whether or not Terence was a colored man. Any proof on the question printed in this column would be interesting. R. C. Edmondson. COMMUNITY CENTER BREEZES.

TOOSAYNTE LEE OVERCHOO By Aubrey Bowser (Copyright, 1921, Kelley Newspaper Feature Service) "Toosaynte's" Dream Comes True in "Romeo and Juliet" Toussaint L'Ouverture Brown, having joined the Harlem Shakespeare Society, is called upon to play the part of Romeo at the Sheba Theater on account of the illness of Sam Creighton, whose place he was to take. If there was any drink which nauseated Toussaint by its taste or even its smell, it was gin, and the prospect of playing up to a gin-drinking Juliet made him wince. But he consoled himself when he saw his figure in a large mirror on the wall. He was in black velvet from head to foot, and edged with silver. His long, pointed felt shoes twinkled with silver, his doublet was knitted evenly about him, his cloak hung in a graceful, and over all was the midnight-brimmed hat with a long white plume dipping and trailing off down his back. His normally dark-brown face was soon transfigured to golden by Glenn's rapid administrations, and his eyebrows swept out like an eagle's wings. He threw up his arms in ecstasy. "Two thousand peoples out dere gine see Toosaynte Lee Ovahchoo Brown in his costoom. Glory be, tek up de Crossl. De Lawd has sholly dressed up His own to-night." "Yes," laughed Glenn, working rapidly on the costume. "Now, we've lost a lot of time tonight and must shorten things as much as possible. Juliet'll drink part of the poison stuff, then flop. You come in, think she's dead, kiss her, take the vial out of her hand, drink, then flop yourself—oh, well, you know the way it goes." "Whut you got in dat vile fo' de poison?" "Oh, something you'll like—good old gin," laughed Glenn. "Our Juliet can't act without it." "Girl!" said Toussaint, screwing up his face. "Dat nasty stuff meks me sick fo' a week." "For the love of Jacobl" cried Glenn. "You can't act with it and she can't act without it Well, I'll switch it to water just before she goes on if I can manage it." "All raight—jes lead me to 'eml' cried Toussaint, springing away, drawing his sword and thrusting at the mirror. "Hey," said Glenn, "this ain't the duel scene." "No, I wisht it wuz," said Toussaint, "I'd show 'em some rale fancy cuttin'." "Now I'll leave you to think over your part awhile. Remember, don't get flustered; take it easy—it's just make-believe, you know." Leaving Toussaint to his mirror Glenn hurried out. After what seemed an hour to Toussaint he returned and called him, and Toussaint followed him out to the wings. "Gosh!" said Glenn, suddenly. "I forgot about that gin." "Oh, my Lawdl" groaned Toussaint. "I cann'—" "Oh, it won't kill you," said Glenn impatiently. "It's too late now. If you crab the scene I'll—I'll—" It was indeed too late, for the formidable Romiette was even then rushing to the stage with the vial held to her capacious bosom. For four minutes, with more vigor than grace, she stamped and roared through the pation scene, then, with many a husky "Oh!" and "Ahl" she put the vial to her mouth and tossed it off, unconsciously betraying her relish by licking her lips. Then she coughed, staggered, and plunged to the boards like a falling truck-horse, rolling over on her back with a crash of heavy heels. "Now, go to it!" exclaimed Glenn, pushing Toussaint out from the wings. "Keep your nerve." Toussaint advanced into the glare of the footlights. This was the great moment he had dreamed of. But how different! He suddenly realized that he, an untrained actor, was facing a thousand critical people who sat there silent, ominous; ready to hiss him down. His heart shook, his sword trembled against his legs. "Go on, dammit!" said Glenn, in a savage whisper. "Go on or. I'll knock you cold." Poor Toussaint walked jerkily to the middle of the stage and faced the silent audience. He could not see clearly through the haze of the footlights, but he felt hundreds of eyes bearing down upon him. As if by magic all memory of his lines fled, his mouth went dry, he could not utter a word. The recumbent form of his Juliet stirred him to action. He went down on his knees geside her and the agony in his face was not simulated. Raising Juliet's hand he took up the nauseous vial of gin. He rose and held it aloft, then with every nerve and muscle squirming in revolt he put the stinking thing to his lips. Suddenly he put it down, bewildered. He looked at his Juliet, then at the audience, then at the wings, where Glenn was tearing his hair and shaking his fist, Toussaint peered into the vial again, and then forgetting everything in his fear of Glenn, he cried out through the silent theater: Instantly a thousand voices exploded like cannon. Toussaint was thunderstruck, frightened by the great waves of sound that came dashing up over the footlights, almost shaking the stage. He staggered back, and tripping over the prostrate Romietta's feet, fell violently backward upon her fair form. The dead Juliet gave a wild shriek that pierced the thunderous laughter of the audience. "Git off mel You little no-count shillable, you—" Her big fist hit Toussain in the back and knocked him to his feet, Then Juliet showed the gin in her. With the whole house in hysteresis she leaped up and made for Toussaint. With one glance at her he took to the wings, but almost ran into the dreaded Glenn: He dodged back, barely missing the shoe that the gin-crazed Romietta jerked off and hurled at him. The shoe struck Glenn squarely on the shin, and his cry of pain reached the audience. Toussaint, forgetting everything but his personal safety, doubled from side to side in a panic, with Romietta lunging and screaming wildly at him. He slipped and fell over his sword. She dived at him and with the agility of terror he leaped clear over her, and shot into the right side of the wings. Down the corriodr he sped, till he ran straight into the arms of burly John, the door-keeper. "Hey, sonny," said John., "what's the hurry—stole sumpin'?" "No, nol" cried Toussaint. "Lemme loose—hide me!" Toussaint darted through a narrow door in the passage and found himself in darkness. He had barely shut the door before he heard feet stamping past, and the voice of Romietta, who was cursing like a teamster. Into those few minutes was crowded the agony of a year. He had failed utterly, miserably, like a fool. Outside, they were hissing and hooting Toussaint O'Louverture Brown; he knew it as well as if he had heard them. What an end to the dreams he had dreamed! Romietta would scratch his eyes out, Glenn would knock him in the head, and—horror of horrors—it would all come out in the papers. Wherever he went he would be pointed out and laughed at, forever. And the Shakespearean Society before whom he had boasted, what would it say. He dropped his head and cried like a baby. Suddenly the door of his hiding place was yanked open. He sprang away in new terror, but it was only John, the doorkeeper. "Come out, son," he said, laughing. "It's all right. If you ain't the queerest duck I ever see! You're the first actor I ever see runnin' away from anything like that." "You'd run tool!" wailed Toussaint. "Whah's she now? An' him, too?" "Whatta ye talkin' about?" asked John. "Can't ye hear 'em out there?" In the distance Toussaint heard the sound of clapping, stamping, whistling, and a continuous roar of "Brownl—Brownl" He hung his head. They all knew his name and would make it a byword. "Where's he—where's he?" asked an excited voice in the corridor. "Glenn!" cried Toussaint, and tried vainly to shut the door, which was held open by John. Glenn leaped into the doorway and dragged him out, clapping him on the back. "Brown, Brown, you're a find," a find! I didn't realize eit till you were half way through the scene. You're a genius—get back out there, don't you hear 'em' "I don't understand—" I don't understand "Well, I do," said Glenn, "and the house does. It's the scream of the year. This is a comedy house, and the comedy you put on—" "But de play—Shakes—" "Oh, hang Shakespeare! You and Etta both acted so damn bad the house thought it was all a burlesque. Come see me tomorrow morning about a steady job. Now get out there and take your curtain." He pushed Toussaint back upon the stage, and the whole audience rose as one person, with a roar of delight that almost stunned Toussaint. They shouted his name again and again, and his very look of amazement sent them into fresh hysterics. He ran back into the wings and they called him out again. And thus, in a daze, he saw his dreams come true. Next Week—"Toussaint Lee Ovah Choo Brown"—The Landlord. "MY MOTHER'S FLOWERS." Respectfully dedicated to my mother, Mrs. Mary C.

GLENDALE, DEANWOOD AND LINCOLN HEIGHTS NEWS. By Herbert E. Wilson. Over a year ago, after considerable comment, scoring the miserable mail service accorded the far northeast section of the city, the Post Office Department issued an order that no more R. F. D. boxes would be used in the District and that a house-to-house delivery would go into effect right away. This was November 1, 1920. Twelve months have gone and these same obsolete 'disgraceful landmarks are still used, forcing the residents to plunge through mud, weeds or what not to get their mail.

TOTALLY BLIND, COLORED AMERICAN BUILDS AND OWNS RURAL TELEPHONE LINE. Muskogee, Okla., October 25. From hodcarrier to telephone line owner in six years is the record of a blind man of this city. He is Zora E. Q. Tinsley, who became blind when unslacked lime spattered in his eyes twelve years ago. Going to Muskogee from Texas in 1915, says the New York Sun, Tinsley set about finding something to do—to keep himself from brooding over his troubles. He noted the need of rural residents for telephone service. Rigging up a telephone line would hardly be thought suitable occupation for a blind man, but this fact didn't daunt Tinsley, who went to the manager, of the Muskogee Exchange, Harry Lyons, with his scheme. Lyons, though skeptical of the success of the enterprise, leased him five old instruments and a telephone switchboard: Tinsley already had contracts for three subscribers, and he had little trouble getting three more. Then, still without capital, he went after some wire. He bought three hundred pounds for $9.30 and had it charged. He borrowed a team, went into the woods and cut his own posts. He put them up himself, seldom employing any help. When he got connections with the city lines and his own telephone in working order, more subscribers came thick and fast. He worked hard and accommodated them all. Now his system covers most of the territory immediately west of Muskogee. It has forty-five miles of service and forty-nine subscribers, who pay from $2.50 to $3.50 a month for the service. He's still reaching into new territory and hopes to double this number of subscribers shortly. His investment now probably is $1,500. Whites and colored alike are his customers. He still does his own line work, repairs the instruments and makes installations. HUNTS LIONS IN AFRICA: WITH AUTO AND ZEBRA. Chicagoan Uses. Striped Animal as Bait—Flivver Lights Hypno- Chicago, October 25.—Frederick R. Babcock, a Chicago lawyer just returned from Africa, set a new fashion in lion hunting. He killed five lions, shooting from a flivver. "My guide was William Judd, who was with Roosevelt," he said. "We used a zebra for bait. We were quiet while the lion approached the zebra. Suddenly the headlights of the flivver were turned on and the lion looked up, straight toward us. He was blinded and partially hypnotized by the glare and. it was not a difficult matter to shoot him. "Give me the car every time. It can go anywhere except into the jungle. We shot four other lions the same way." One of the most interesting experiences of the trip was an interview with the former Sultan of Zanzibar, who was being exiled with his three wives, Mr. Babcock said. "The sultan at the beginning of the war was sent to St. Helena. At his own request he was removed to the Isle of Seychelles. He and his wives were on the boat on which I was a passenger. "I am a German citizen,' he protested to me. 'After the war is over why should I be held a prisoner by the British?'" A bad picture may, in a moment, poison your mind for a life time.

A commendable act fearless, heroic deed! His frank and stirring the race problem, shall not only be emblazory but shall go booming on down the age President Warren G. Harding went down into the heart of the black belt, Birmingham, Ala., with its millions of colored Americans and "bearded the lion in his den." A commendable act! A brave, courageous, fearless, heroic deed! His frank and stirring utterances dealing with the race problem, shall not only be emblazoned on the pages of history but shall go booming on down the ages to fill the ears of coming generations, after, perhaps, these problems are no more. When Mark Antony delivered his famous oration over the dead body of Caesar in which he aimed to prove to the people who at that time were friendly to Brutus that they were, wrong in saying that Caesar was ambitious—to ward off their onslaught he was compelled to punctuate his remarks with the following expressions: "Brutus was an honorable man," "Brutus says he was ambitious" to appease the people. So it was with Warren G. Harding, The Bee thinks, when his keen eye and lofty sense of responsibility as the people's President saw the ebb and flow of feelings of the vast audience before him, many of whom were friends of "King Lynch," he, too, resorted to punctuation marks, with the well known southern expressions: "There can be no social equality between the races." "No amalgamation." With reference to the former, there are few, if any, Colored Americans of intelligence who would deny to his white brother the God given right which he himself enjoys, the choice of his own friends and associates. With regard to the latter, amalgamation, who can harness and hold the onrush of the human heart's passions but the possessor himself. This responsibility was fixed by Providence from the foundation of the world. Whatever He intends, shall be done! "Don't kick against the pricks." If Providence intends that the prostitution between the two races in the past shall culminate in honorable marriage which is better in His hight, The Bee says Amen and shall continue to say Amen to anything which will destroy this vice of prostitution and give the helpless Colored-American in the South his own bodily control. In politics The Bee has always said support principles, not men. This is what the President, no doubt, means. But whatever else may be said he courageously went among the people of the black belt of the South with a distinct message from the living God, "Let my people go!" Being a Christian man he was determined to do His will! Delegates to the National Disarmament Conference are arriving in the city from all parts of the world and are being cordially received without blare of trumpet or sound of bugle. It is hoped that some good may be accomplished. The Lord told Harding what to do, To let his people go; To lead the sons of Africa through, To let his people through. When they shall reach the other shore, Where narrow jealousies are no more, They'll sing a song of triumph o'er For every unfair lash they bore.

A brave freak and stirring The hopes of the Colored Americans of this country reached their acme when a favorable report of the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives on the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill was made: The bill provides not only for the imprisonment of the perpetrators of a lynching, but the penalizing of any county, city or town together with the payment of a large sum to the family of the victim. If passed by Congress and enforced by the authorities, The Bee believes that this horrible blot upon the pages of American history will soon be obliterated. ACQUITTED The Bee takes pleasure in announcing that Mr. Robert Coles, 1208 V Street and Mr. Arthur Bradford, 626 Callan Street, were honorably acquitted of the alleged charge of assault and robbery against Mr. and Mrs. George Roper. The people, while not condoning crime for any race when guilt is established are glad that the incident did not occur south of the District of Columbia because two erstwhile innocent men would have been disposed of without judge or jury.

CONFERENCE AT DETROIT Dr. J. Kwekyir Aggrey Seen by Basil Mathews as Powerful New Type of Colored American. Dr. J. Kwegyir Aggrey, professor of economics and sociology at Livingston College, Salisbury, N. C., will address the National Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, meeting at Detroit, on Wednesday morning, November 16, according to information reaching here today. Dr. Aggrey will speak on missionary work in Africa. He is himself a native of the Gold Coast, West Africa, and received his early education in a mission school there. He came to America in 1898, seeking higher education. He attended Livingston College, and later took his graduate training at Columbia University. Dr. Aggrey was a member of the Africa Educational Commission of the Phelps Stokes Foundation, and of the Foreign Missions Conference. Dr. Aggrey preaches racial co-operation in every walk of life. "We should not blind ourselves at all," he says, according to Mr. Mathews, "with the wrong and injustice that the Colored American suffers. We must recognize the iniquities, but pursue not revolution, but, co-operation. All the way through my tour of Africa, when I spoke one hundred and seventeen times to Boer and British and colored, often for as much as two hours with long discussions and to thousands of people, I found the principle of co-operation made an active and vigorous appeal. The doctrine of love and work ultimately made a triumphant appeal when bitter prejudices have been cleared away." "I believe," Dr. Aggrey told Mr. Mathews, with enthusiasm, "that the colored American has a great gift to make to the world—the gift of the idea of meeting injustice and ostracism and oppression—by sunny, light-hearted co-operative 'love and work.' I believe he is going to teach that to Asia and the white folk." BEAMON—REID NUPTIALS. The marriage of Miss Mae E. Beamon, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James R. Beamon of Hampton, Va., to Mr. William Thaddeus Reid of Portsmouth, took place Wednesday, October 26, at the home of the bride, on Taylor Street. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. E. H. Hamilton, of the Hampton Episcopal Church. The bride, who was given in marriage by her father, wore a graceful gown of white crepe de chine trimmed with pearls and crystal beads. The costume was completed by a veil of tulle and a coronet of orange blossoms. Her maid of honor was her sister, Miss Corinne Beamon, who wore a gown of pussy willow taffeta, orchid color. Attorney Thomas Reid of Portsmouth, was best man. The wedding march was played by Mr. Nathaniel Dett of Hampton Institute. The ceremony was witnessed by the many friends of the bride and groom, connected with the Hampton Institute, and from the town of Hampton; also, many out-of-town guests were present, including the parents of the groom from Portsmouth, and other relatives from Portsmouth and Richmond, and relatives and friends of the bride from Washington and Norfolk. Mrs. Beamon, at the reception following, received the guests in a gown of white embroidered net. She was assisted in the receiving line, in addition to the bridal party, by her sister, Mrs. T. W. Turner of Washington, D. C., and daughter, Miss Laura E. Beamon. Mrs. Reid, before her marriage, was a teacher at the Federal National Training School for Girls, Washington, D.C. Mr. Reid was for five years employed as electrician at the Hampton Institute. For the last three years he has been working with the Hunter Electrical Company of Newport News, Va. The young couple, left immediately for a two weeks' honeymoon visiting and sightseeing in Baltimore, Washington, Richmond and Portsmouth. They will be at home after November 15, at 18 Tylor Street, Hampton, Va. The floral decorations for the occasion were artistically and beautifully arranged by Mr. Simms of Hampton Institute. The presents were numerous and valuable. GROUND BROKEN FOR HAMP. TON ATHLETIC FIELD. "Field Will Be an All-Round Blessing," Declares Dr. Gregg, Who Pays Warm Tribute to Hampton Graduates. Hampton, Va., Nov. 3.—Ground has been broken for the new athletic field of Hampton Institute. Graduates and former students are raising money to construct and equip this up-to-date field under the leadership of the Hampton Alumni Association, founded forty-three years ago. Hamptonians everywhere are enthusiastic over the construction of the field, which will be one of the finest in the country. It will be equipped with grandstand, quarter-mile track, 220 yard straightaway, football and baseball fields. Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, and George J Davis, Hampton, '74, broke ground for the new field. E. L. Dabney, one of Hampton's football stars, loaded the first scraper. Representatives from the several R. O. T. C. companies shoveled cartloads of dirt and cheered the speakers, the athletic field, and the Hampton Alumni Association. Value of Field to Hampton. "This field is going to be a blessing," said Dr. Gregg, "not only to our school as regards its athletics, the outward and visible side, but it is going to be an asset and an advantage to the spiritual training of the school. by reason of the promotion of self-control and co-operation. "I feel deeply grateful to Mr. Charles H. Williams for the long chain of influences, so to speak, which he has set in motion and which he has guided that have resulted in the gift of this field. It is deeply touching to think that our graduates should be so quick to respond to the invitation which he has given them within the past few months to contribute to the expenses of making this field. I have not the least doubt that all the money that is needed will be forthcoming and that the money that is necessary to maintain the field in proper condition will be easily secured. I congratulate the graduates upon what they have done already and what they are going to do, with the help of us all, to make Hampton Institute just the very best school to be found anywhere." Forward Movement at Hampton. Fred D. Wheelock of Hampton, Va., Hampton '88, chairman of the Alumni Association executive committee, acted as master of ceremonies. "Today we are starting a movement that will add to the physical development of young men," he said. "The whole world is taking to the idea of physical education, which offers the following: First, for the nation; increased productive power and a lower death rate, physical fitness for defense in an emergency, deduction of juvenile delinquency and lawlessness, and promotion of co-operation and sanity; second, for the individual, good health, mental alertness, perseverance, endurance, self-control, unselfishness and co-operation. "Hampton has accomplished much in the last two years; more, perhaps, than is now apparent. Substantial progress has been made along all lines and every department of the school seems to be in a sound condition. This is well, but I am sure the officers and teachers will not be content to rest their efforts upon past achievements." W. D. Elam, speaking for Hampton students, said: "Whatever we can do for the benefit of this field and for Hampton we will do with all the power we have." The officers of the Hampton Athletic Field Association are Robert R. Moton, president, Tuskegee Institute; Don A. Davis, treasurer, Hampton Institute; and Charles H. Williams, secretary and chairman executive committee, Hampton Institute. BETTER SALARIES FOR COLORED AMERICAN TEACHERS. For the year 1919-'20 North Carolina spent for salaries of colored American teachers the sum of $1,159,000; for the year 1920-'21, $1,500,000, a gain of $350,000, or 35 per cent in a year. During the summer of 1921 over 3,000 colored teachers (that is, 90 per cent) in North Carolina attended summer schools. These better-trained teachers will receive additional pay. This means that colored American teachers in North Carolina will receive during the present school year more than $1,500,000 in salaries. It is also encouraging to know that a large school building program is now well under way. For country schools there will be spent $279,000, and for urban schools there will be spent $1,246,850, or a total of $1,525,250 for country and urban colored American schools. Governor Morrison, like his predecessor (Thomas W. Bickett), stands solidly behind this liberal program for colored Americans. He has expressed his desire to give all the citizens of the State a square deal. He has the support of the whole citizens of this State-wide policy. —Southern Workman.

"Let the black man vote when he is fit to vote; prohibit the white man voting when he is unfit to vote. "I wish that both the tradition of a solidly Democratic South and the tradition of a solidly Republican black race might be broken up. "I would insist upon equal educational opportunity for both. "Men of both races may well stand uncompromisingly against every suggestion of social equality. This is not a question of social equality, but a question of recognizing a fundamental, eternal, inescapable difference." * KRAMER; THE FLORIST.

PROGRESS OF COLORED AMERICAN EDUCATION Of Oklahoma's 50,570 colored children eighty-seven per cent were enrolled in 1920-21. Eleven hundred and sixty-one colored teachers were employed, and something over $854,000 were spent in building schoolhouses for colored children in this same year. West Virginia has appropriated for colored American educational and eleemosynary institutions $1,200,000. Texas will spend next year $400,000 for colored American education, and North Carolina $700,000, of which $36,000 will go for the supervision of colored American schools. The Rosenwald Fund spent $528,000 for colored American school houses last year. This resulted in securing buildings that cost $2,000,000. Of this amount the colored people paid out of private funds $500,000, and private citizens among local white people paid $250,000. The Rosenwalk Fund has set apart $622,000 for its work next year.
