Washington Tribune

The Washington Tribune Citizens Demand Removal of Officer All the News That's Fit to Print Citize UNJUSTIFIED BEATING OF MAN OUTSIDE BALL PARK OFFICER ALLEGED TO HAVE BEEN DRUNK WHILE ON DUTY A petition signed by a number of our prominent business men and citizens thru the Washington Tribune, has been filed with the Police Board, demanding the removal from the police force of R. F. Reh an officer of the 8th precinct. This action was occasioned by the disturbance which took place at the American League Park on Thursday evening, on which occasion policeman Reh, who it is alleged was drunk at the time, showed his "cracker blood" and prejudice, by beating Mr. James Hawkins, of 231 V St., N.W. Mr. Hawkins was seeing the game from a telephone pole, as were two white men, near by. Policeman Reh singled out Hawkins and commanded him to come down. Hawkins came as far as the roof of the adjoining building, where number of other men were, and got off on the roof. The crowd jeered the policeman because the man did not come down on the ground. This angered the policeman, who came up on the roof and pulled Hawkins down on the ground. A policeman (David Hodnett) in civilian clothes who had been recently dismissed for crap shooting while on duty and out of his precinct, grabbed Hawkins and held him while policeman Reh beat him with his "billy." Mr. Hawkins had to be carried to Freedmen's Hospital to have his head dressed. A riot scene was almost staged at the park. Six or more policemen drew their guns and mounted the wall and but for a few level heads, another Tulsa tragedy would have resulted. Mr. Hawkins is a hard working man of about thirty years old. He works for the District in the Street Department, and those who know him say he is a peaceful and respectable citizen, and a member of Vermont Avenue Baptist Church. Hawkins' case was continued for a Jury trial. PETITION We, the undersigned, citizens of the District of Columbia, in an honest desire to maintain order and safeguard human life and property in this city, petition your office to remove from the police force the officer of Number eight precinct, R. F. Reh, who on Thursday, June 9th, 1921, at the American Le ague Ball Park, beat with his stick, Mr. James Hawkins a respectable citizen of 231 V St., N. W., this city. Such conduct on the part of an officer without provocation, as in this case, (testified by more than a dozen citizens, eyewitnesses) only tends to arouse feelings of hatred, revenge and lawlessness on the part of those so opressed. While well-thinking citizens are bending every effort to bring about a better feeling and greatest harmony, such acts as this one only make it impossible to attain the result so much desired.

Tucker --- Published Weekly ns,Der SEGREGATION BREAKS UP PROGRAM AT CENTRAL HIGH WHITE SECRETARY TRIES TO PREVENT MIXED AUDIENCES First Musical Week in the history of Washington, ends by stirring up a hornet's nest, in the Civic Community Circles. The week went off beautifully, as programmed with the culminating event to have been on Saturday night at the Central and Dunbar High Schools; Colored talent to entertain at Central High and white entertainers were to be at Dunbar High. However, some white people, in whose breasts burn the fires of prejudice against colored people, asked the authorities not to permit colored people to attend the entertainment at Central High. Miss Cecil V. Norton, who has absolute charge of the community activities in the District schools, ordered her assistant, Miss Pollock, to order the janitors at each of these school buildings, not to admit any persons of the opposite race to attend the entertainment there on Saturday night, June the 4th. This was phoned to the janitors by Miss Pollock. Some of the colored people heard of this order and informed the colored singers that were to appear at the Central High School. They were indignant and said that if our people were not to be admitted, then they would not sing. This information was brought to Miss Norton and Dr. Ballou, Superintendent of the District schools. Neither of them would rescend the order and the colored talent refused to appear. The entertainment was not held at Central High. However, at the Dunbar High, the white entertainers were present and rendered a wonderful program to about 800 people, 300 of whom were white. In an interview with Miss Norton, she said that she was responsible for the order and issued it because of protests coming from white people about the presence of colored people in the audience at Central High. She also said that there were protests from white people concerning the colored children in the demonstration on the Elapse Friday, but that she felt this was for the school children and that all the children should participate therein since it was an open lot of government property. But at the Central High, the entertainment would be in a building at which white people attended and since there were colored and white schools existing in the District therefore, there should be separation of the races for this entertainment. * A representative of The Tribune called on Dr. Ballou and interviewed him concerning the affair. Dr. Ballou said that the whole program for "Music Work" was in charge of the executive committee of that week, with Miss Wm. H. Jackson J. G. B. Key Chas. S. Johnson Wm. Goines V. D. Dixon Rufus G. Byars John W. Lewis The petition is being circulated for additional signatures as we go to press. WASHINGTON, D. C.

ENJOYING THE CONCERT AT THE DUNBAR HIGH SCHOOL CLOSED - CONCERT POSTPONED ON ACCOUNT OF THE FUSAL OF COLORED ARTISTS TO APPEAR BECAUSE OF DISCRIMINATION AT THE CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL TAFT TAKES FLING AT PRESS Former president William Howard Taft, who is now one of the leading candidates for the appointment as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, took a fling at the Colored press in his article on the Tulsa riot. He charged the papers with inciting trouble by demanding equality of rights. Because of Mr. Taft's ambition, this statement has brought a storm of protest on his head. STUDENTS AT LINCOLN HEAR PRES. HARDING President Harding stopped at Lincoln University while on his return trip home from a week-end vacation at Valley Forge, Pa., and made a short talk to the students and faculty. The president denounced the Tulsa riot in the course of his speech and also stressed the need of education as a sure means racial progress. He said in part: "Nothing will accomplish so much as educational preparation. I commend the valuable work which this institution is doing in that direction. It is a fine contrast to the unhappy and distressing spectacle we saw the other day out in one of the Western States. God grant that in the soberness, the fairness and the justice of this country we shall never have another spectacle like it." Senator Knox of Pennsylvania also delivered a short address. Mrs. Harding was presented with a bouquet of roses by the students. Editor Promoted As vice-president of the Negro Press Association, upon the death of Editor Christopher Perry, of The Philadelphia Tribune, Editor J. Finley Wilson of The Washington Eagle, became president of the association and has been formally notified of the promotion SEEK SITE FOR PROPOSED SEPARATE BATHING BEACH COMMISSIONER ASKS FOR VIEWS TO BE STATED BEFORE ESTIMATES ARE MADE UP Estimates for a new modern bathing beach for colored people are now being made up and will be presented to Congress some time during the first of July. In an interview with Mr. Gillen, who is in charge of this work in Col. Sherrill's office, The Tribune found that there are three sites now under consideration as to the location of the beach. Neither of the three sites under consideration are either close to or at the now modern and fully equipped bathing beach at the Tidal Basin. The locations under consideration The Laborers' Cooperative Association held its first banquet in the parish house of the John Wesley A. M. E. Z. Church on 14th Street, N. W., Tuesday night. A large audience was in attendance and listened to speeches by Messrs. Thomas, Drew, Cole and Maxwell. They told of the possible economic improvement and progress that could be realized in this fast growing city by cooperation. There are two cooperative associations now organized in the city and The Laborers' the last one to organize and increase its financial strength. Dr. J. E. Thomas is President of this association; U. S. M. Maxwell is Secretary-Treasurer. CORNERSTONE LAID The dedication exercises of the Union Baptist Church, 8th and R Sts., of which Rev. W. B. Carroll is pastor, were held last Sunday evening.

W. al of HINGTON DRU KEY WONT OPEN TO ICE CREAM ICE CREAM ENJOYING THE CONCERT THE DUNBAR H SCHOOL OSED - AT THE CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL PROPOSED BATHING BEACH are : (1) on the Eastern Branch just east of the War College, (2) at the mouth of Rock Creek, and (3) on the Anacostia River, east of the Navy Yard. Street car conveniences are not close to but one of these proposed cites. According to Mr. Gillen, the Government is willing to spend $100,000 to construct and improve a bathing beach for colored people. When it was brought to Mr. Gillen's attention by The Tribune's representative that colored people would have no objection to bathing in the already constructed beach at Tidal Basin, he said he did not think that practical. He stated that these estimates are now being drawn up and he would appreciate suggestions from interested persons as to their views on the matter. The Tribune suggests that all persons interested should address a letter stating their views to Mr. Gillen, care The Tribune. Can You Write?

Mr. William A. Waller and Mr. Fred U. Brooks, sued the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Railroad, for being segregated on their line and a jury awarded them judgement. The road carried the case to the Court of Appeals here in the District, which case is now pending and they ned the money necessary for the cost of briefs and other court expenses, which will amount to about $150.00. They are very anxious to carry the laration against the "Jim Crow Car" which means a victory that will include the entire race and The Tribune has been appealed to, to assist in this worthy cause and will give its aid and publicity in assisting these men. It is not simply their fight, but it is OUR fight. These gentlemen appealed to the Georgetown Civic Association and thru this association The Tribune was reached. In speaking of the men, Mr. John E. Bowles, Secretary of the Association said: "I have personally known these gentlemen for nearly 30 years and can testify as to their character and worth. Any assistance you can give them, will be greatly appreciated." Mr. George T. Seaton is President of the Association and a prominent citizen of Georgetown. This case is far reaching in its effects and as its upholding by the Court of Appeals will mean a VICTORY of the race against SEGREGATION, THE TRIBUNE is starting the contribution off with $5.00, and opens this column for contributions from its readers and friends; appealing to them to contribute to this fund as liberally as possible. Names and amount will be printed in this column each week. Here is your opportunity to strike a blow at segregation. Already the decision of the trial court, in this case, has had its beneficial effects and caused many of the railroads of the country to file applications for permission to operate "Jim Crow cars." The permission to operate these cars is in the hands of the Interstate Commerce Commission and the sustaining of this decision by the Court of Appeals means that the Railroad Companies will continue to separate passengers without the interference of the Federal Government thru the Interstate Commerce Commission. Send in your contributions to The Tribune, 920 U Street, N. W., Washington, D. C. CHANGE OF NAME OF M ST. HIGH The Board of Education at a recent meeting, approved the changing of the name of the former M Street Junior High School to "Robert Gould Shaw Junior High School." Robert Gould Shaw was the commander of the 54th Massachusetts Infantry, which was the first colored group of soldiers inducted into the Federal Armies during the Civil War. Shaw was killed in the battle at Fort Wagner. THEATRE NOTES The vaudeville attractions at the new S. H.

Tuesday June 14—Navy Yard vs. Census. Friday June 17—Navy vs. Bureau. All managers will please notify their players and govern themselves accordingly. Census 11—War 9 On last Thursday Census continued to lead the League by downing War to the score of 11-9. Both of these clubs have been handicapped by lack of players, but the game was played. It is hoped that all managers will help to build up those clubs who have not enough men on their rolls. Treasury 9—I. C. C. 4 Manager Artie Brown of Treasury with his cohorts downed Mgr. Albert Brown's I. C. C. rookies in a well played game last Saturday. The pitching of Walker of Treasury, the wonder, against the mighty southpaw, Adams, were features. Navy Yard 16—Navy 15 Monday, the batfest between Navy Yard vs Navy was some game. It seems as if both clubs tried to make more errors than runs. Fowler of Navy was at his best striking out 6 of Navy Yards best men. Brooker of Navy Yard as usual made a home run. G. P. O. 15—Census 9 In the game between Govt. Printing Office and Census, Census suffered its first defeat of the season. Manager Mills of G. P. O. had his rabbit foot with him. Altho outhit by the opposing club, enough runs were made BASEBALL NEWS ON THE ROAD WITH THE BRAVES All Cubans Break Braves Winning Streak After a five game winning streak the Braves were defeated by the all Cubans on May the 30th in Atlantic City. The Braves leading by 8 runs until the eighth inning when with two outs one of the Cubans got base through an error and before the side was retired they had chalked up 11 runs which won the game for all the fight of the Braves seemed to have vanished. Pratt who pitched had the Cubans at his mercy until one of his teammates made the costly miscue and then he seemed to fall completely to pieces. Kenner who is now playing short stop is still knocking the pill to all corners of the parks and as yet has a clean slate as far as errors are concerned. Braves and Brailsburg Play Tie Game The Braves and the Briarsburg Giants (white) failed to reach a verdict in their game which was played last Tuesday, the score being 5 all, when the ump saw fit to call the game on account of darkness. Alex Albritton who pitched for the Braves was in rare form the only inning that hits were bunched off him was in the 3rd, when the Giants got four hits and secured five runs. After this inning Alex was the master. But while he was holding the Giants runless the Giant pitcher was doing the same for the Braves. Kenner and Scrappy Brown were the batting stars. Scrappy getting a homer and two singles out of four times while Kenner got a homer, triple and two singles out of as many times at bat. Braves beat Nymph Winters The Braves defeated Nymph Win to offset the same. Wake up Mr Slade. G. P. O. 9—War 0 Tuesday's game was forfeited to G. P. O. by War not having the required number of men on the diamond when the umpire called play. It is hoped that this will not occur again. Managers of all clubs please give the opposing club until 6 p. m. if possible to keep from having forfeited games Census 6—Bureau 5 Wednesday's game between Bureau and Census was won by Census. The batting of Peace and Rose were features. The Boswell Bros. battery was some. Manager Slade is gradually coming back with his club. NOTES The following players have been released this week: From Treasury—Vernon Gilmore, Chester Johnson. From I. C. C.—Chas. Pinkney, Robt Pinkney, Ben Jones. For Treasury—John Tatum, Chester Johnson. G. P. O.—Geo. Budd, Mr. Fenwick. Jack Harris of Treasury with his famous fade away upset Harry Coates of the Navy Yard in an attempted steal at home plate. In less than the time it occurred his feet was where his head ought to be. E. Greenfield of the Navy Yard Club sprained his wrist on an attempted steal to third. Pick Dandridge of Navy Yard Club the old has been was put out of the game Tuesday by disputing too long with the umpire. You had better keep your eye on the umpire. He is a live wire. Believe in keeping the rules. The Championship Cup is now in the window of The Washington Tribune on You St., Murray Casino. It is hoped that all players will go and get a glimpse of what you are playing for. Regular League meeting of the officials will be held Wednesday, June 15, at 8 p. m. sharp at the President's residence. Look out for your postponed games — liable to come any time now. ters for the second time this season. The Norfolk pitching ace seemed to be able to keep the D. C. boys scoreless until the fatal 7th inning when the boys led by Kenner, got busy and secured 3 runs—enough to end the game 3 to 2 in their favor. The game seemed to belong to the Sea-Siders who secured two runs in the first inning but the Braves were in for a victory and waited until the 7th to go after it. One Armed Maddox To Join Braves Wing Maddox the One Armed Wonder is to join the Braves in Wilmington, Del., Saturday. He is to pitch and play out field. Grimes is also coming with the Braves as they are rather weak on the receiving staff. With Maddox and Grimes, the Braves have secured two of the best drawing cards of the Southern League. WASHINGTON BRAVES HANGING UP VICTORIES ON THE ROAD THE WASHINGTON Braves are making their first extensive road trip thru Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York, and thus far have hung up a string of six unbroken victories including among their conquests, a 4 to 2 game with the strong Bristol, Pennsylvania team; a 7 to 5 game with the Tesreau Bears; a series of two out of three from the Philadelphia Red Caps; a 5 to 0 shut out over Breedsburg Giants; and a 7 to 5 victory over the fast Cuban Stars at Atlantic City, N.J., on Memorial Day, at which Jack Dempsey was present with practically every member of his training camp. Braves Shut Bristol Giants Out Reds Witherspoon, who seemed to be far from form in the two games he started here, shut the Bristol Stars out in a 14 inning game. The Braves secured one run in the 14th inning. After Wingfield had walked, Streeter to this city for games. With the proper support the Alcoes will develop one of the best teams in the country. BRAVES TO PLAY HILLSDALES The Washington Braves are to start a three game series with the Hillsdale base ball club Wednesday. They are out for revenge from the defeats given out by the Philadelphia boys when they visited the capital city last month. The Hillsdale club has been given the services of the local twirler, Alex Albritton, who it seems had signed a contract with Hillsdale last winter and when this was shown to the manager of the Braves he was at once turned over to the club who had the right to his services. The Braves will be home on the 26th of this month and will meet the strongest teams from both east and west now that they have been (Continued on Page 8) AFTER THE GAME BEAT IT OVER TO Wilson & Bernard's 1906 7th St., N.

It must be also mentioned that hits in this game were as few as runs until the 7th inning. BRAVES DRAWING BIG The Washington Braves are soon to return with long chart of victories, having already taken the scores of nine games out of thirteen. Record breaking crowds are following the Braves wherever they play. Against strong white teams they show their best as in Wilmington; taking all scores of three hard games including a double header last Tuesday from the Parkside Giants, a semi-pro white team. A tight game is expected when they meet the Hildales in Camden, Thursday and Friday, having just beaten the Bristol Grays (white team) who recently took two games from the Hildales. They have two more weeks on the road, returning home June 26. Alcoes elect Officers The Alcoe A.

THEATRE 11th & U DISCRIMINATION CONTIN UES IN GOVERNMENT The progress of the Harding Ad- ministration is handicapped, as an- nounced sometime ago by The Associa- ted Negro Press, by the heritage of Democrats from the Wilson regime. The majority of these Democrats are of Southern origin, who have brought to Washington certain fixed notions about “equal and exact justice,” as it refers to certain Americans. Discrimination and segregation were known facts, and it has been the gen- eral impression that all persons in the new administration would welcome in. | formation on conditions, in order that they might be corrected. “Department of Justce” Tt was thought that, like charity, which begins at home, the best place for justice to begin is in the Depart- ment of Justice. On April 11, 1921, ‘The Associated Negro Press represen- tative sent the following letter to At- torney General Harry M, Daugherty. “It is my faith in your high sense of justice, as well as in the interest of the racial group whom the Associa- ted Negro Press is secking to serve, that I would very respectfully bring to your attention the two un-American conditions alleged to exist in the De- partment of Justice, over which you so worthily préside, and which I be- Tievee you would not approve, but would immediately rectify, if the same were properly brought to your notice. (1) Upon investigation, I find that there is even now in the south- west- ern comer of the Department of Jus- tice building, (Vermont Avenue and K Street, this’ city) two water-closets, one plainly marked “FOR WHITE MEN” and it can be seen the other was marked “FOR COLORED MEN” —although some of the lettering on the glass door containing the last men- tioned sign has been partially washed off. I find that these signs were put up before you took charge of the Department of Justice, and further- more that Attorney-General Palmer also prescribed and ordered that only water-closets on certain specified floors of said building were to be used by Colored employes. I cannot but be- lieve that the mere calling of your attention to this manifest racial dis- crimination will result in its immediate abolishment by you. “(2) I further find, upon investiga- tion, that practically all of the Colored clerks and other Colored employes (ee cepting laborers who necessarily work all over the building, and messengers | stationed in the hall-ways) have been| gradually segregated and are now all employed (with the exception of one| cutter and developer in the Photostat Section) in the Division of Mail and Files. I understand that the chief. chief sponsor of this un-American po- licy of segregation (or grouping clerks according to their race or color) is C.| E.

F. Gibbs, who signed it as “Private Sec- retary and Assistant to the Attorney General”: “[ will bring to the attention of the Attorney General your recent commu- nication at the earliest possible mo- ment.” ‘The Associated Negro Press repre- sentative made the following reply to Mr. Gibbs, April 29, giving a reason- able length of time for a reply from the Attorney General: “I wish to acknowledge receipt of your kind letter of recent date, in which you state that you will bring to het attention of the Attorney General at the earliest possible moment the contents of my com- munication under date of April 11th. I appreciate, as you state, that there is a great rush of work in the Depart- ment, and yet the matters which I res- peetfully mentioned in previous letter are likely to become very embarrass- ing to the present Administration if they continue uncorrected. It was largely due to my faith in your high sense of justice which characterizes ER Ae EN TE ea THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, - SATURDAY, JUNE 11, 1921 THE NEGRO THEATRE tee Al Oe gerne A Lt Od ion, Meee the world. While this is true of us, it is not true of everybody else. Hence the theatre and movie are institutions which have come to stay and will be patronized in spite of our old-fash- ioned ideas. ‘The thing uppermost in my mind just now is this race question. The ‘close student of racial affairs will dis- cover that the prejudiced white man has injected into his literature, his press, his movie and his theatre plays the sting of hatred. All of the afore- mentioned agencies he has used daily and almost hourly to spread his propa- ganda of race hate, and through them he has reached malice instead of charity; hate instead of love, and sup- pression instead of opportunity for the darker races of the world. His moving pictures have not only put him in the best possible light, but have put us in the worst possible light before the entire civilized world. This is trie in press literature and drama; in fact, everything intended by him to influence the public mind. , ‘The possibilities of the moving pic- ture as a potent force in the spreading of propaganda have been thoroughly demonstrated by the success of “The Birth of a Nation,” based on ‘Thomas Dixon’s book, “The Clansman.” The Negro cannot stand idly by an an- swer these charge by saying ‘Tain’ so, ‘The sufferings of the Negro, the wrongs perpetrated against him, his person and property and offspring ‘must be set forth in his literature, his ‘press, his movie, his theatre. A certain prominent Negro Church in New York contemplated buying a certain theatre maintained exclusively ‘by and for colored people. I was asked by the pastor of that ‘church to in- spect the theatre and render my judg- ment as to the possibilities of the building being remodeled so as to be- come suitable for church purposes. To do this I had to attend a matinee. The time dragged on as a band of gifted young Negroes attempted to represent the characters of an English play, imi- tating the nobility of England, etc. It was sickening to men of sense. ‘The untrained Negro knew that some- thing was wrong with the whole thin, too, though he did not know what the real trouble really was. This was evi- denced by his absence in a place where there were thousands who could have attended. ‘The Negro must have aim and pur- pose in his acting. His acting must be propaganda acting. There can be no real gripping race thought in our plays until we produce race writers, who get the vision, who can Kold their ears to the sad bosoms of the masses and catch the gloomy intonations of their grief and interpret them in terms of music and drama and film. When the playwright puts propa- ganda into his plays he will grip the race, We cannot ape the white stage and succeed. ‘The white man has con- signed the Negro to the comic section of his thoughts. He thinks of the Ne- gro in terms of his laughter,—he has not felt the sting as yet which he has made us feel. | The Negro’s story must be told. ‘The tenderness of the Negro’s heart and the truthfulness of his love must be depicted; the Negro’s ambitions, ‘hopes, and aspirations, must be, ex- pressed before the eyes of the world. ‘The Negro’s wrongs,—and they are legion, must be portrayed. arris @icettaat) Geaiierys aesue fulness and sin must be shown,—how "he has disturbed the pence of the world,—robbed Africa of her land, her | gold, her copper, her rubber, her dia- 'monds, but above all of her virtue, [her peace, her happiness, her freedom. | ‘The duplicity of white missionaries |and explorers must be put on screen |and stage until the white man is either /made ashamed and stops or the Negro \will be enlightened to the extent that he will unite and prepare for the [world’s last and greatest “struggle, of the darker races of the wotld to ob- ‘tain full manhood and womanhood; |freedom on the earth.” There are only two ways that this matter can be settled, the repentance jot the white man or the annihilation jof the black man. |The Negro theatre is a failure if it |plays the white man’s dramas,—it is jalso a falure if it depicts only the happy-go-lucky Negro, the laughing [stock of the world. We cannot feast eee vat ae we ee ea eae objecting to segregation signs. White people do not object to them.” It is the impression that Attorney General Daugherty is eminently fair and just. It is also believed that the letters have never reached Mr. Daugherty and that he will immediately do away with any injustice when the facts reach him. Music Forum PRESIDENT DELIGHTED WITH SINGING ON ELLIPSE—MRS. HARDING CARRIES BOUQUET FROM COLORED CHILDREN TO WHITE HOUSE AND SHAKES HAND OF COLORED CHILD. “Music week” is a thing of the past now, but the singing of 60,000 public school children on the Ellipse, aug- mented with three brass bands, ‘was perhaps one of the most marvelous spectacles ever witnessed in this city. The singing by white, children was not as impressive at it might have been, due to the fact, that the groups did not carry on together with pre- cision and steadiness in their singing. Several times director Lawrence being ‘put to the test in directing them. The colored groups sang the “Battle Hymn of the Republic” with such depth of feeling and beauty that the President desired its repetition and ‘Mrs. Harding was really delighted. Certainly, the colored school children charmed the vast assemblage; and what the Howard @ingers and their band didn’t do wasn't worth repeating, "as such beautiful melody as rendered _by them was the sweetest music imag- ‘inable. "After the singing, children brought ‘flowers and covered the stand where ihe President and Mrs. Harding stood smiling as each paid a tribute of love ‘at their feet. But’ the most striking tribute was a beautiful bouquet of ‘red roses eonveyed by Ruth Robertson of Armstrong and Alice Boone of Dun- ‘bar; and, as Mrs. Harding. accepted it ‘she thanked them with a generous smile taking it in her arms and carry- ing it all the while, even returning to the White House with the bouquet. Little Geneva Shorter of Mott School and another child conveyed a bunch of flowers which Mrs. Harding personally accepted from their hands, but perhaps the happiest child on the Ellipse was little Evelyn ‘Wash- ington, daughter of Mr, Benjamin Washington, our executive chairman, who was highly honored in having the President’s wife shake her hand being the only child thus honored. Congrat- ulations, little Miss Evelyn! After all is said and done, despite some preju- dicial incidents here and there, music week left its imprint upon the mind and heart of all concerned and most assuredly benefited the masses, re- gardless of race.

PICKINGS FROM CONGRESSION- AL DEBATES Senator Watson, of Georgia, in speaking against the danger of main- taining a large standing army, and comparing the army of this country with the armiés of the other great powers, said: “Senators: Great Britain is so put to it that her army right now is not composed of white men merely. One third of the English army is black, imported from India and from Africa to hold the balance of power in Eu- rope, as umpire of the war game be- tween the whites. “Nearly one half the soldiers fight- ing for France are colored troops, im- ported from the jungles of Africa ahd turned loose on the white popula- tions of Europe. Japan is nothing but a bugaboo with the imperialists en- deavor to scare the civilian into adopt- ing a militarist policy in this coun- ey” Senator Harrison, of Mississippi, speaking at Montgomery, Ala., at the dedication of the first White House of the Confederacy, said: “As often as it has been repeated, it is not true that slavery was the cause of the war. Although slavery was interwoven, there were larger and greater questions involved. Without suggesting that slavery comports to the spirit of the times and the human progress of to-day it is a remarkable fact that at the time of the adoption of the Federal Constitution every State save one, sanctioned it by law and practiced it in principle. “Little respect can be given to those whose consciences were too sensitive to ‘own slaves as property, but who per- mitted themselves to be come enriched by selling them at high value to others.” : Farmers Charged with Kidnapping ‘a, Quitman, Ga.—Four Brooks County farmers have been taken to Monti- cell, Fla. on indictments, charging them with kidnapping a colored man and taking him out of Florida. ‘The men made bonds in Monticello pending their trial.

CHAPTER I—Warned by his physician that he has not more than six months to live, Falling sits despondently on a park bench, wondering where he should spend those six months. A friendly squirrel practically decides the matter for him. His blood is pioneer blood, and he decides to end his days in the forests of Oregon. Memories of his grandfather and a deep love for all things of the wild help him CHAPTER II.—In a large southern Oregon city he meets people who had known and loved his grandfather, a famous frontiersman. He makes his home with Silas Lennox, a typical westerner. The only other members of the household are Lennox's son, "Bill," and daughter, "Snowbird." Their abode is many miles from the frontier, where they divide, and there Falling plans to live out the short span of life which he has been told is his. His extreme weakness in the face of even a slight exertion convinces him that the doctor had made a correct diagnosis of CHAPTER III.—From the first Faing's health shows a marked improvement, and in the companionship of Lennox and his son and daughter he fits into the woods life as if he had been born to. By quick thinking and a remarkable display of intelligence Lennox lives and his own when they are attacked by a mad coyote. Lennox declares he is a reincarnation of his grandfather, Dan Falling I, whose fame as a woodsman is a household word. Part of the smells are of flowers, and part of balsam, and God only knows what the others are. They are just the wilderness—"Dan could not only perceive the smells and sounds, but he felt that they were leaving an imprint on the very fiber of his soul. He knew one thing. He knew he could never forget this first introduction to the mountain night. The whole scene moved him in strange, deep ways in which he had never been stirred before; it left him exultant and, in deep wells of his nature far below the usual currents of excitement, a little excited too. Then both of them were startled out of their reflections by the clear, unmistakable sound of footsteps on the ridge. Both of them turned, and Lennox laughed softly in the darkness. "My daughter," he said. "I knew she wouldn't be afraid to come." The sound gave him a distinct sense of surprise. Some way, he hadn't associated a voice like this with a mountain girl; he had supposed that there would be so many harshening influences in this wild place. Yet the tone was as clear and full as a trained singer's. It was not a high voice; and yet it seemed simply brimming, as a cup brims with wine, with the rapture of life. It was a self-confident voice too, wholly unaffected and sincere, and wholly without embarrassment. Then she came close, and Dan saw the moonlight on her face. And so it came about, whether in dreams or wakefulness, he could see nothing else for many hours to come. The girl who stood in the moonlight had health. She was simply vibrant with health. It brought a light to her eyes, and a color to her cheeks, and life and shimmer to her moonlit hair. It brought curves to her body, and strength and firmness to her limbs, and the grace of a deer to her carriage. Whether she had regular features or not Dan would have been unable to state. He didn't even notice. They weren't important when health was present. Yet there was nothing of the coarse or bold or voluptuous about her. She was just a slender girl, perhaps twenty years of age, and weighing even less than the figure occasionally to be read in the health magazines for girls of her height. And she was fresh and cool beyond all words to tell. And Dan had no delusions about her attitude toward him. For a long instant she turned her keen, young eyes to his white, thin face; and at once it became abundantly evident that beyond a few girlish speculations she felt no interest in him. After a single moment of rather strained, polite conversation with Dan—just enough to satisfy her idea of the conversations—she began a thrilling girlhood tale to her father. And she was still telling it when they reached the house. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. SATURDAY, JUNE 11, 1921 Dan held a chair for her in front of the fireplace, and she took it with entire naturalness. He was careful to put it where the firelight was at its height. He wanted to see its effect on the flushed cheeks, the soft dark hair. And then, standing in the shadows, he A Standing in the Shadows, He Simply Watched Her. simply watched her. With the eye of an artist he delighted in her gestures, her rippling enthusiasm, her utter irrepressible girlishness that all of time had not years enough to kill. Bill stood watching her, his hands deep in his pockets, evidently a companion of the best. Her father gazed at her with amused tolerance. And Dan—he didn't know in just what way he did look at her. And he didn't have time to decide. In less than fifteen minutes, and wholly without warning, she sprang up from her chair and started toward the door. "Good Lord!" Dan breathed. "If you make such sudden motions as that I'll have heart failure. Where are you going now?" "Back to my watch," she answered, her tone wholly lacking the personal note which men have learned to expect in the voices of women. And an instant later the three of them saw her retreating shadow as she vanished among the pines. Dan had to be helped to bed. The long ride had been too hard on his shattered lungs; and nerves and body collapsed an instant after the door was closed behind the departing girl. He laughed weakly and begged their pardon; and the two men were really very gentle. They told him it was their own fault for permitting him to overdo. Lennox himself blew out the candle in the big, cold bedroom. Dan saw the door close behind him, and he had an instant's glimpse of the long sweep of moonlit ridge that stretched beneath the window. Then, all at once, seemingly without warning, it simply blinked out. Not until the next morning did he really know why. Insomnia was an old acquaintance of Dan's, and he had expected to have some trouble in getting to sleep. His only real trouble was waking up again when Lennox called him to breakfast. He couldn't believe that the light at his window shade was really that of morning. "Good Heavens!" his host exploded. "You sleep the sleep of the just." Dan was about to tell him that on the contrary he was a very nervous sleeper, but he thought better of it. Something had surely happened to his insomnia. The next instant he even forgot to wonder about it in the realization that his tired body had been wonderfully refreshed. He had no dread now of the long tramp up the ridge that his host had planned. But first came target practice. In Dan's baggage he had a certain very plain but serviceable sporting rifle of about thirty-forty caliber—a gun that the information department of the large sporting-goods store in Gitecheapolis had recommended for his purpose. Except for the few moments in the store, Dan had never held a rifle in his hands. The first shot he hit the trunk of a five-foot pine at thirty paces. "But I couldn't very well have missed it!" he replied to Lennox's cheer. "You see, I aimed at the middle—but I just grazed the edge." The second shot was not so good, missing the tree altogether. And it was a singular thing that he aimed longer and tried harder on this shot than on the first. The third time he tried still harder, and made by far the worst shot of all. "What's the matter?" he demanded. "I'm getting worse all the time." Lennox didn't know for sure. But he made a long guess. "It might be beginner's luck," he said, "but I'm inclined to think you're trying too hard. Take it easier—depend more on your instincts." Dan's reply was to lift the rifle lightly to his shoulder, glance quickly along the trigger and fire. The bullet struck within one inch of the center of the pine. For a long second Lennox gazed at him in open-mouthed astonishment. "My stars, boy!" he cried at last. "Was I mistaken in thinking you were a born tenderfoot—after all? Can it be that a little of your old grandfather's skill has been passed down to you? But you can't do it again." But Dan did do it again. If anything, the bullet was a little nearer the center. And then he aimed at a more distant tree. But the hammer snapped down ineffectively on the breech. He turned with a look of question. "Your gun only holds five shots," Lennox explained. Reloading, Dan tried a more difficult target—a trunk almost one hundred yards distant. Of course it would have been only child's play to an experienced hunter; but to a tenderfoot it was a difficult mark indeed. Twice out of four shots Dan hit the tree trunk, and one of his two hits was practically a bull's-eye. His two misses were the result of the same mistake he had made before—attempting to hold his aim too long. Dan and Lennox started together up the long slope of the ridge. Dan alone armed; Lennox went with him solely as a guide. The deer season had just opened, and it might be that Dan would want to procure one of these creatures. "But I'm not sure I want to hunt deer," Dan told him. "You speak of them as being so beautiful—" "They are beautiful and your grandfather would never hunt them, either, except for meat. But maybe you'll change your mind when you see a buck. Besides, we might run into a lynx or a panther. But not very likely, without dogs." They trudged up, over the carpet of pine needles. They fought their way through a thicket of buckbrush. Once they saw the gray squirrels in the tree tops. And before Lennox had as much as supposed they were near the haunts of big game, a yearling doe sprang up from its bed in the thickets. For an instant she stood motionless, presenting a perfect target. It was evident that she had heard the sound of the approaching hunters, but had not as yet located or identified them with her near-sighted eyes. Lennox whirled to find Dan standing very still, peering along the barrel of his rifle. But he didn't shoot. The deer, seeing Lennox move, leaped into her terror-pace—that astounding run that is one of the fastest gaits in the whole animal world. In the wink of an eye she was out of sight. "Why didn't you shoot?" Lennox demanded. "Shoot? It was a doe, wasn't it?" "Good Lord, of course it was a doe! But there are no game laws that go back this far. Besides—you aimed at it." "I aimed just to see if I could catch it through my sights. And I could. My glasses sort of made it blur—but I think—perhaps—that I could have shot it. But I'm not going to kill does. There must be some reason for the game laws, or they wouldn't exist." "You're a funny one. Come three thousand miles to hunt and then pass up the first deer you see. You could almost have been your grandfather, to have done that. He thought killing deer needlessly was almost as bad as killing a man. They are beautiful things, aren't they?" Dan answered him with startling emphasis. But the look that he wore said more than his words. They trudged on, and Lennox grew thoughtful. He was recalling the picture that he had seen when he had whirled to look at Dan, immediately after the deer had leaped from its bed. It puzzled him a little. He had turned to find the younger man in a perfect posture to shoot, his feet placed in exactly the position that years of experience had taught Lennox was correct; and withal, absolutely motionless. What many hunters take years to learn, Dan had seemed to know by instinct. Could it be, after all, that this slender weakling, even now bowed down with a terrible malady, had inherited the true frontiersman's instincts of his ancestors? The result of this thought was at least to hover in the near vicinity of a certain conclusion. That conclusion was that at least a few of the characteristics of his grandfather had been passed down to Dan. It meant that possibly, if time remained, he would not turn out such a weakling, after all. Of course his courage, his nerve, had yet to be tested; but the fact remained that long generations of frontiersmen ancestors had left this influence upon him. The wild was calling to him, wakening instincts long smothered in cities, but sure and true as ever. It was the beginning of regeneration. Voices of the long past were speaking to him, and the Fallings once more had begun to run true to form. Inherited tendencies were in a moment changing this weak, diseased youth into a frontiersman and wilderness inhabitant such as his ancestors had been before him. They were slipping along over the pine needles, their eyes intent on the trail ahead. And then Lennox saw a curious thing. He beheld Dan suddenly stop in the trail and turn his eyes toward a heavy thicket that lay perhaps one hundred yards to their right. For an instant he looked almost like a wild creature himself. His head was lowered, as if he were listening. His muscles were set and ready. Lennox had prided himself that he had retained all the powers of his five senses, and that few men in the mountains had keener ears than he. Yet it was truth that at first he only knew the silence, and the stir and pulse of his own blood. He assumed then that Dan was watching something that from his position, twenty feet behind, he could not see. He tried to probe the thickets with his eyes. Then Dan whispered. Ever so soft a sound, but yet distinct in the clearer and more pronounced. Some living creature was advancing toward them; and twigs were cracking beneath its feet. The sounds were rath- er subdued, and yet, as the animal approached, both of them instinetively knew that they were extremely loud for the usual footsteps of any of the wild creatures. "What is it?" Dan asked quietly. Lennox was so intrigued by the sounds that he was not even observant of the peculiar, subdued quality in Dan's voice. Otherwise, he would have wondered at it. "I'm free to confess I don't know," he said. "It's booming right toward us, like most animals don't care to do. Of course it may be a human being. You must watch out for that." They waited. The sound ended. J "There's Something Living in That Thicket." "There's Something Living in That Thicket." They stood straining for a long moment without speech. "That was the dumdest thing!" Lennox went on. "Of course it might have been a bear—you never know what they're going to do. It might have got sight of us and turned off. But I can't believe that it was just a deer—" But then his words chopped squarely off in his throat. The plodding advance commenced again. And the next instant a gray form revealed itself at the edge of the thicket. It was Graycoat the coyote, half-blind with his madness, and desperate in his agony. There was no more deadly thing in all the hills than he. Even the bite of a rattlesnake would have been welcomed beside his. He stood a long instant, and all his instincts and reflexes that would have ordinarily made him 'fee in abject terror were thwarted and twisted by the fever of his madness. He stared a moment at the two figures, and his red eyes could not interpret them. They were simply foes, for it was true that when this racking agony was upon him, even lifeless trees seemed foes sometimes. He seemed eerie and unreal as he gazed at them out of his burning eyes; and the white foam gathered at his fangs. And then, wholly without warning, he charged down at them. He came with unbelievable speed. The elder Lennox cried once in warning and cursed himself for venturing forth on the ridge without a gun. He was fully twenty feet distant from Dan; yet he saw in an instant his only-course. This was no time to trust their lives to the marksmanship of an amateur. He sprang toward Dan, intending to wrench the weapon from his hand. But he didn't achieve his purpose. At the first step his foot caught in a projecting root, and he was shot to his face on the trail. But a long life in the wilderness had developed Lennox's reflexes to an abnormal degree; many crises had taught him muscle and nerve control; and only for a fraction of an instant, a period of time that few instruments are fine enough to measure, did he lie supinely upon the ground. He rolled on, into a position of defense. But he knew now he could not reach the younger man before the mad coyote would be upon them. The matter was out of his hands. Everything depended on the aim and self-control of the tender-foot. He looked up, and the whole weird picture was thrown upon the retina of his eyes. The coyote was still racing straight toward Dan, a gray demon that in his madness was more terrible than any charging bear or elk. For there is an element of horror about the insane, whether beasts or men, that cannot be denied. Both men felt it, with a chill that seemed to penetrate clear to their hearts. The eyes flamed, the white fangs of Graycoat caught the sunlight. And Dan stood erect in his path, his rifle half raised to his shoulder; and even in that first frenzied instant in which Lennox looked at him, he saw there was a strange impassiveness, a singular importurbility on his face. "Shoot, man!" Lennox shouted. "What are you waiting for?" But Dan didn't shoot. His hand whipped to his face, and he snatched off his thick-lensed glasses. The eyes that were revealed were narrow and deeply intent. And by now, the frenzled coyote was not fifty feet distant. All that had occurred since the animal charged had possibly taken five seconds. Sometimes five seconds is just a breath; but as Lennox waited for Dan to shoot, it seemed like a MOTON ON LECTURE TOUR Tuskegee Institute, Ala., June—During the past week, Dr. R. R.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE, OUT OF TOWN $2.00 PER YEAR SOUTHERN PREJUDICE IN WASHINGTON In the Capital City of a country which boasts of its "democracy" and its pure motives in entering the recent world war "to make the world safe for democracy"; a country whose principles are that all men are created free and equal, the Capital being governed and controlled by the Federal Government—one would expect to find "these pure motives" and the lofty principles of the Constitution carried out in every detail. Such is not the case. Southern prejudice against people of color in this country, has invaded the fair Capital City, and is now trying to dominate its governing boards and executives. Notwithstanding, there is no statutory law of the United States defining a colored person or a white person, yet, some of the Federal officials have arrogated unto themselves the authority to give orders specifying special entertainments to which "people of the opposite race cannot be admitted." This was the case at the Dunbar and Central High Schools for the entertainments scheduled for Saturday night June the 4th. As Director of Community Activities in the city schools of Washington, Miss Cecil V. Norton, is a Federal employee, representing the Federal Government in this particular activity. When she issue the order to the janitors "not to admit persons of the opposite race" to the concerts given at Central and Dunbar High Schools (which were erected by Federal appropriations of Federal money), at the behest of Southern Crackers, she overstepped her authority. There is no Federal law that will uphold her in ordering anyone "not to admit" colored people to any Government building. We were informed by Miss Norton that this order was issued because of protests from the Southern prejudiced element of the white population of the City. This shows weakness on the part of Miss Norton and proves her unwillingness or inability to cope with the encroachment of the Southern sentiment upon the Nation's Capital. The "protests" are the result of the influence that Congressman Sissons, of Mississippi, is alleged to exert in the school affairs. Congressman Sissons and men of his ilk are besmirching the fair name of "These United States" by injecting their Southern spirit of race hatred into the Federal Government's various departments. The colored people that were to render the program for Central High refused to appear when they were informed of this segregation order and deserve the praise of every liberty loving American for having the moral courage of their conviction. We need more men and women with moral courage to resent any and all discrimination. The Tribune takes the high ground that since there is no United State statute to determine white and colored people, no minor official has the right to order such a classification, as was assumed by Miss Norton. Another phase of this question is cropping out in Col. Sherrill's department of welfare. His office is preparing an estimate to present to Congress for a bathing beach for colored people. Since it will take a special act of Congress to make the appropriation, The Tribune is against any such classification by the Federal Government. Since there is a bathing beach already in existence, The Tribune is of the opinion that this appropriation of about $100,000 for a beach for colored people is entirely unnecessary and un-American. If the present beach is not large enough to accommodate all of the citizens of Washington, then enlarge the present beach facilities and not make a special, classified appropriation "for a beach for colored people." Every citizen of the city should oppose this bill. MUSIC WEEK SONG LEADERS SOUTHERN AID AGENTS WRITING BIG BUSINESS The Southern Aid Society of Virginia opened its offices in its new building at 7th and T Sts. and began business on Monday of this week with a staff of solicitors, mostly local men and women. In speaking of the results of the first week's business, Mr. J. L. Doss, District Superintendent said: "This, our opening week, has been one long to be remembered in the annals of the Company. With a staff of men who have never had any experience in the Insurance field, we have accomplished startling results. We ∞ have impressed our men that ours is a Negro institution which renders to our people a splendid service in that we have the strength of wonderful resources the benefit of a loyal and hardworking personnel, and the integrity of an efficient management. "The skill and integrity shown in rendering service and the attitude of those engaged in rendering it, always will be the measure of the confidence of the public. It is our endeavor to employ those men and women who are governed by the highest ideals of service to the public as well as to the individual. There is no place in any phase of the work for the proud, parsimonious, lazy, carefree, and pessimistic individual.

Box score: Eight Boys Escape From Reformatory Maryland authorities this week requested local police to assist in the search for eight colored boys who escaped from the house of reformation at Cheltenham, Md. GIRL CADETS IN COMPETITIVE On the Ellipse, Wednesday afternoon, four companies of girls of Dunbar High School, held their first competitive drill and review, before an enthusiastic crowd of admirers and friends. This is the first time that any of the girls of the high schools of the District ever held an event of this nature and is a step forward in physical culture in the schools of the city. Prof. C. Garnet Wilkerson, Principal of Dunbar, said: "This is the first demonstration by any company of girls of the schools of Washington and we are proud of the opportunity to show what can be accomplished by our girls. This is more for the physical training than military. There is a difference already in their bearing; their sense of direction has been developed and we note improvement in deportment." The training of the girls comes under Major M. T. Dean, military instructor of the High School cadets, with Mrs. T. L. Connelly in charge of the physical department, assisted by Miss J. T. Wilder. The judges for the drill were Capt. Edward York, Lt. Richard E. Banks and Lt. Frank Coleman, all of the U. S. Army. The battalion was reviewed by Mrs. Coralie F. Cook; Mrs. J. Hayden Johnson and Mrs. F. W. Ballou. Assistant Superintendent R. C. Bruce presented the prize flag to Company "C," while Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, Mrs. R. C. Bruce, Mrs. G. C. Wilkerson and Mrs. A. M. Curtis pinned the prized ribbon on each member of the company. The Battalion was commanded by Maj. Loraine Redmond and 1st Lt. Gladys Landers. Company "C" was commanded by Captain Gladys Clinton; 1st Lt. L. Flemming and 2d Lt. L. Johnson; 1st Sergt. E Dean; 2nd Sergt. L. Gregory. Platoon Sergts. P. Brooks, R. Sutton, E. Cowan, E.

McClure, A. Johnson, H. Combs, A. Dayne, A. Brasty, L. Allen, E. Burrell, E. Mack S. Underdown, J. Mosby, V. Campbell, M. Lyle, E. Merridith, D. Corbin, R. Matthews, R. Forcey, G. Moore, W. Bong, E.

SPORT NOTES CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 strengthened behind the bat they are one of the strongest teams in the East, one advantage the braves have over the average is that they are all youngsters and are fast and a hard hitting bunch and as soon as they return they are now capable of displaying as fine a brand of base ball as has been seen in this town.

The batting of Johnson featured the game, getting three hits out of five visits to the plate. The Athletics scored five runs in the second inning on five hits, a pass and two errors. The Staggs scored their first run on a fluke homer by Jones, the ball getting lost in right field in the second inning. Their second run came in the ninth when Carter singled, stole second, and third and scored on Pearson's single. Montgomery made a beautiful running catch of Pearson's long drive in the sixth which probably would have been a homer. Monroe pitched well and had the pleasure of defeating his former team mates.

HARRY WILLS' SLIP (Ry Quentin Williams) The willingness of our pugilist to sell out for thirty pieces of silver is one cause why Harry Wills today is not due to face Dempsey instead of Carpentier. Just as the sport writers started to boost him, he staged a "hippodrome" in Philadelphia with Sam McVey; not only getting himself barred from fighting there but no other promoters have given him a chance since. Of course if Carpentier wins from Dempsey that will put a different aspect on the fight game. The hue and cry will be for some one to bring the championship back to America then Wills or Kid Norfolk will have a chance. WHITE SECRETARY TRIES TO PREVENT MIXED AUDIENCES AT SCHOOLS (Continued from Page 1) Norton as director in charge of all community work as it concerns the schools. As such, she has charge of all programs at the various school buildings and can stage a program at any time without the consent of the principals or Assistant Superintendent in charge of colored schools. Therefore, she was exercising her prerogative in issuing the order that opposite races were not to be admitted at either of the concerts He said that he did not rescend the order because it was not in his power to do so without acting as a despot and his office was not run on that plan. The local branch of The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, presented a petition to the Board of Education, Tuesday asking: "Who has the right to authorize admission or expulsion from the public school buildings?" Second, "Who has the authority to issue such orders as referred to, and to whom are these issued in forbidding and prohibiting each class from visiting one school and another:" "Has the Director of the Community Center the right to issue such an order?" This petition was turned over to Dr. Ballou, by the Board with the request that he investigate it and report to the Board on the same. Many forces are at work to clarify this rank injustice. Dissatisfaction is widespread among all classes of people, and hundreds of inquiries as to the cause of the cancelling of the program at the "Central High" have been made, in person, by phone and by letter. The following, received from a nearby town in Maryland is a sample of the inquiries and the expression of dissatisfaction and regret: "I want to tell you how very disappointed I was when on going up to Central High School Saturday evening, I learned that the entertainment and concert scheduled for that date had been "indefinitely postponed." I was told afterward that in the Evening Star there was a brief announcement that a postponement had been decided on, but it seems to have escaped my attention. At any rate, I knew nothing of such action and am truly at a loss to know why it was done. I have been wondering since if it might not have been because of an imagined mental unrest presumed to have been occasioned by the unfortunate and most regrettable conditions obtaining at Tulsa, Oklahoma. I can easily fancy the disappointment those good and deserving young people who were prepared to play and sing, must have felt when they learned of the postponement. How can we hope to advance the social, moral, and mental development of any race or group of people if we deny them the privilege of outward expression of their God-given, inspiring thought and aspiration? We, who boast of our superiority, have much—very much—to learn from the lives and likable qualities of our colored neighbors. "Some day—I don't know when—our people will learn that the spirit of hatred and selfishment can lead only to despair and woe; and that the way up out of the 'valley' lies along the route of love and cooperation. If we continue to be outraged by race riots, lynchings, burnings, and peonage we shall have only ourselves to blame. Race prejudice, hatred and jealousy certainly gets us nowhere with our great work, and I thank God every day that there are, in these times, many of my own people who fully realize this truth." Md., June 7, 1921 It has been noticed that Senator Pat Harrison and Congressman Sissons, both of Mississippi, have been associating with members of both the School Board and Community Center and it is that by some that they are the source of this "Jim Crow" spirit that is pervading the school system of the City of Washington.
