The Washington Tribune PRESIDENT HARDING ANNOUNCES RACE POLICY All the News That's Fit to Print POLLYANNAS LOSE FIRST POINT IN CASE That the Pollyanna Social Club will not turn over to Carrie Minor Johnson the funds collected by them at their "Fashion Show" for her material aid, until every legal technicality has been exhausted was evidenced by the proceedings in court Monday the 25th, when the case was called before Judge Aukum. Davis and Cobb, counsel for the club interposed a motion to dismiss the summons served upon the members on the ground that while the declaration of the plaintiff named her as Carrie Minor Johnson the clerk of marshall in making up the notices served upon them called her Carrie Minor Jackson and that they should be served over agin. B. L. Gaskins for Miss Johnson pointed out to the court that Mr. Cobb had entered a "general appearance" for the defendants on July 18, thereby waiving the defect in the service; and the court sustained Mr. Gaskins, overruled the motion and directed the case to proceed. A postponement was given until Monday, August 1 at which time the club will be called upon to file papers showing what defense they have to Miss Johnson's claim. Henry E. Davis, who has been associated with Attorney Cobb in defense of the Pollyannas, is a well known white lawyer, once United States District Attorney. Some years ago when William H. Lewis, of Boston, was seeking admission to the American Bar Association. Mr. Davis published a letter in the local papers setting forth that no colored man should be admitted to that Association because it entailed a form of "social equality." He is said to be now associate counsel for the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. CASE AGAINST ATTY. TIGNOR SQUASHED Attorneys Benj. L. Gaskins and Royal A. Hughes scored another victory Wednesday, when Chief Justice McCoy announced that the disbarment proceedings against Attorney Harry L. Tignor had been squashed. Atty. Tignor was tried before the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, in general term, Saturday, on the charge of "deceit, malpractice, and conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice." Chief Justice McCoy, and Associate Justices Bailey and Hoehling heard the testimony of Mrs. Duffin and Attorney Courtland Davis, of Alexandria, Virginia. Mrs. Duffin claimed that Mr. Tignor advised her to go to Virginia and represent herself to be a resident of that State, when she was not, and thus obtain a divorce. Mr. Tignor testified that he merely advised her to see Attorney Davis in Alexandria, with a view of obtaining a residence there so that she could later procure a divorce. The judges took the case under advisement Saturday, and on Wednesday announced the decision above mentioned. This case was presented against Mr. Tignor by the Grievance Committee of the District Bar Association of which Attorney Jesse C. Adkins is chairman. This week, 6,000 Tribunes are going into the homes of the discriminating readers of Washington. This is the twelfth issue and with 6,000 circulation is an average of 500 new readers per week. This is an outstanding accomplishment, unequaled by any other paper in this country. TWO OF THE CONTESTING TEAMS FOR THE PRIZE AT THE MASONIC FIELD DAY HELD LAST SATURDAY Senior Photo Senior Photo Published Weekly TWO OF THE CONTEST DIRECTOR JAMES E. MILLER, COMMUNITY CENTRES BAND DIRECTOR JAMES E. MILLER, COMMUNITY CENTRES BAND MILLER'S BAND BIG ATTRACTION Through the efforts of Director James E. Miller of The Community Centers Band, two dates on his schedule have been changed, so as to have the band playin a section where larger numbers of our people live. The date of August 12th has been changed from Montrose Park to You street and Vermont Ave., the triangle in front of Garnet School; the date of September 16th at Lincoln Park has also been changed to You street and Vermont. Ave. triangle. This change will afford a large number of people in this section a chance to hear this wonderful band. Their original schedule placed them almost entirely in districts strictly inhabited by whites. Mr. Miller has been the recipient of many congratulations and words of encouragement in the office of Col. Sherrill. It is stated that his band has drawn the largest number of people of all and that more visitors in automobiles attend than at any other. It is also stated that the music as played by his musicians, meets with a warmer applause. The police department has also (Continued on page 5) --- MASONIC FIELD DAY SUCCESS More than 5,000 people witnessed the big Field Day program of the various Masonic Lodges of the city Saturday, at the American League Park, on Georgia Avenue. The program opened with a concert by Miller's famous Communities Band. The pig race created interest and was won by the Widow's Son Lodge. Following this was the chicken race participated in by 16 lodges. The following lodges were winners: Social, 1 chicken; Felix 1; Widow's Son, 1; Warren, 2; John F. Cook, 1; J. H. Hill, 2; Corinthian, 2; and Doric, 1. An impressive feature of the program was the parade of the Allied Nations, by the nine chapters of the Order of the Eastern Star; escorted by the Grand and Subordinate Commanderies of K. T., and Templar Crusaders. The' Flag Raising ceremonies followed the March of the Allied Nations and was under the direction of Right Eminent Grand Commander, Joseph Minor, with a chorus of 300 voices, singing "My Country 'Tis of Thee." The Human Star and Amaranthian Wreath were formed by the nine chapters of the O. E. S. The five points of the Star were composed of 21 members each. They were made up of Queen Esther, No. 1, Blue point; Queen of Sheba, No. 2, Yellow point; Gethsemane, No. 3, White point; Miriam No. 4, Green point; and Price Hall, No. 5, Red point. The Amaranthian Wreath was formed by 21 members from each of the following chapters; Electa No. 6; Charles Datcher, No. 7; Ruth No. 8, and Naomi No. 9. This was followed by an exhibition drill of the Templar Crusaders, which was their first appearance, dressed in their gorgeous uniforms, these laides presented a striking appearance. A Competitive drill between Simon Commandery No. 1 and Henderson Commandery No. 2, created a deal of interest. Simon No. 1, won the drill. The Simon no. 1, won the baseball game between the Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia and the Grand Lodge of Maryland which SPHINX EIGHTH ANNIVERSARY The Oriental Court, No. 5, Daughters of Sphinx of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, Incorporated, held its eighth Anniversary at Pythian Temple Sunday, July 24, Daughter Minnie Berkley, D.

Refreshments served to all the guests. Officers in charge: Daughter Minnie Berkley, D. G. M.; Daughter Mary Starks, Recorder; Noble Joseph Jackson, Ill. P. was called at 4:20. The District Grand Lodge won by the score of 8 to 3. A return match game between these teams will take place at the Field Day of the Maryland Masons, in Baltimore, Monday, August 29. The weather was fine for the exercises and the Temple Drive increased its treasury from this day's efforts. Dr. William A. Warfield, W. G. M., when seen stated: "The day passed off excellently. Every one was well pleased and we feel that we have the good will of all the folks." Office: 920 U St., N. W. ES RACE HELD LAST SATURDAY GOURDIN BREAKS RUNNING BROAD JUMP RECORD Cambridge, Mass.—E. O. Gourdin of Harvard last Saturday at the Yale-Harvard-Cambridge (England) Oxford (England) track meet, broke the world's record for the running broad jump by jumping 25 feet 3 inches. The record was previously held by Peter O'Conner and was made in Ireland 22 years ago, O'Connor's record was 24 feet 11 3-4 inches. This event was the second for Gourdin in the same day and within a few minutes of each other, both being wins. Previous to the broad jump, he won the 100 yard dash which was one of the hardest races ever run at the Stadium. The Englishmen were very anxious to win this event and at the last minute Capt. Rudd of the English team entered to add potential strength to his team. It was a hard race, with H. M. Abrahams of Cambridge (Eng.) so close at the finish that many thought he had won. Gourdin walked leisurely from the sprinting lane to the jumping pit. Without trial jump, running with easy stride, he sped down the cinder approach, made the take off cleanly and with a manly lunge fell on the far edge of the loam pit. After the tape had been applied and the announcement made, Gourdin accepted the record with a smile. That his record jump, was qualified for official acceptance in all details was subscribed to by Gustavus T. Kirby, president of the Intercollegiate A. A. A. A. and referee of the games. "I have personally seen and measured this jump, and the take-off and break in ground were inspected by me," he wrote in formal verification of the scorekeepers report. Gourdin was the only double winner of the day. Gourdin's record since he has been at Harvard is as follows: One hundred-yard dash, 9 4-5 seconds; 220-yard dash, 22 1-5 seconds; 440-yard run, 52 1-5 seconds; broad jump, 25 feet 3 inches; high jump, 5 feet 9 inches; running hop, step and jump, 45 feet 3 inches; javelin throw, 140 feet; discuss throw, 110 feet. --- Circulation Books Open To All PRICE 5 CENTS POLICY MAKES FRANK STATEMENT TO DELEGATION Informs Them That No Appointment Will Be Made In the South LINES UP WITH LILY-WHITES Says the Race Must Fall In Line Under Leadership of Southern Whites President Harding has declared himself as concerns colored people in this country. In a recent interview with a group of colored men who went to invite him to address a meeting in October, the President gave them to understand that his "mind was definitely made up as to the [administration's] policy with reference to colored people." Mr. A. H. Grimke, acting as spokesman for the committee, extended the President an invitation to address the opening meeting of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., in October. He said: "The colored people have been under a great strain for the past eight years, which they hoped would be relieved by your Administration; and the colored people are especially anxious to hear from you as to what they may expect as citizens." The President informed the committee that with the many calls for his appearance and speeches at this time and the future date some time off, he could not promise them an acceptance, but he would promise them that if public business would permit he would be present or send them a message. It is alleged that he also stated that he had definitely made up his mind as to the [administration's] policy with reference to colored people and had decided that he would appoint no colored man to office in the South, but that he may appoint some in the North. He said: "I may be dreaming, but it seems to me that the colored man of the South has his only opportunity by falling in the ranks behind the leadership of white men, until such a time as he may be able to control the Legislature. I may be wrong in this, but I am determined, live or die, sink or swim, to adhere to this policy." This is quite a significant statement following the meeting of the Virginia State Republican Convention in Norfolk and the kicking out of the colored brother. MOSAIC TEMPLARS MEET Little Rock, Ark., July 25.—The quadrennial convention of the Mosaic Templars of America, founded by the late John E. Bush, and known as the "Million Dollar Fraternity," closed here Friday. More than 2500 delegates were present, and 10,000 visitors were attracted by the meeting. The feature of the convention proper was the re-election of S. J. Elliott standard bearer of the Bush influence, as national grand master, and the passage of the law permitting the headquarters to be removed from Little Rock if things get hot enough to justify removal. Gourdin will be as much decorated as a hero of many wars if he chooses to pin on his breast the medals he has won in four years. The Harvard athletic authorities have been unable to get medals struck off as often as he has earned them. Five gold medals of special die are due him for his successive college record marks in the broad jump, culminating in the broadest jump known to man last Saturday. --- Here's Your Chance To Become A Movie Star Tribune-Florentine Film Popularity Contest To the Young Lady receiving the Highest Number of Votes cast during the contest, July 2nd to Midnight July 30th, The Florentine Film Corp. of Wash., D.

Of Commercial Interest Of Commercial Interest It was the object of the publishers in starting The Tribune, to render service, a real service to our commercial interests. As a race we have stressed "get religion, get education and get a trade." But we have left the foundation of all races and nations, that of commercial worth, untouched. The Tribune desires to help as a pioneer in the great commercial opportunity that confronts us as a race. To that end, we hope to put into the hands of our many readers, articles which will help those who are doing business and those who have a desire to enter the great and fascinating game of commercialism. We do not aim to make anyone a specialist as an accountant or credit man, or even a great merchant; but to help our readers gain as clear an understanding of business operations and the possibilities in the business lines as it is possible to obtain thru a newspaper. Modern business, in a sense, is an organism comparable to the human body. The oculist who has not had an all-round training in medical science is a quack capable of diagnosing correctly diseases of the eye, for many of these diseases are symptoms of disorders in other parts of the body. In somewhat the same way every business man is confronted by problems which he cannot solve correctly if he only has a superficial knowledge of business in general. Business is exposed to perils which the ignorant man cannot see. He does not even suspect their existence. If they overwhelm him, he blames his luck, not his ignorance. The untrained business man does not know that many events in the business world are the results of forces invisible to the casual observer. He fails to realize that the law of cause and effect rules in business quite as much as in nature. Too often, men are satsfied with a reason that does not explain. (From the Chicago Defender) NOT SO MANY YEARS AGO the shoe shining industry was in our hands exclusively. The equipment The Door of Opportunity is Open to You Through the consisted of a small wooden box upon the side of which was a footrest, and holding one or two brushes and a box of blacking. With this outfit 'swung over the back by means of a strap, the "shines" invaded business streets, in the large towns and cities in the country, and rich and poor alike braced themselves as best they could where they were standing while the polish was being applied to the covering for their understandings. Lowly indeed was the station in life of the bootblack in the days gone by. THEN THE ITALIAN entered the field. He did not roam the streets in search of the elusive nickels as our boys had been doing, but built a stand on the side of a corner building where the customer could sit down in the shade and have the work done in comfort. From the street corner to a store was an easy jump. Now we have shoe shining parlors which are veritable palaces of marble, brass and mirrors, while the volume of business of many in prominent locations runs into thousands of dollars annually. WHAT IS TRUE of the shoe shining business is also true of the barber business. Once we monopolized both; now we are nearly frozen out. There is only one answer to this. We were asleep on the job; we lacked foresight, push and energy. We permitted an ignorant foreign group to wrest from us our very livelihood. And it might be mentioned in passing that our waiters permitted the same thing to happen to them. There is no consolation in the assertion that the work was menial, for the white man has made barbering and shoe shining an art and a highly lucrative business. WE, LIKE OTHER GROUPS, will always have among us those unfitted for the higher walks of life. How are they to make a livelihood? If these business didn't look like they were worth while, is it reasonable to suppose the white man would gobble them up? To sum up the whole matter, it is essential to our progress that we hold fast to the avenues of employment that we have gained while fighting for bigger and better things. All work is honorable provided it is honest. Most people find it necessary to chase the dollar bill. If we permit foreigners or white Americans to run us out of any particular line of business we have no one to blame but ourselves. THESE THREE LINES of endeavor are cited merely because we in the GIRLS! THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. SATURDAY, JULY 31, 1921 N.B.—A year's subscription to The Washington Tribune, payable monthly in advance, MUST accompany this coupon. past had a monopoly on them and now they are practically lost to us. We find our grocers, butchers, bakers, druggists and merchants in other lines equally unprogressive. When these merchants have a white competitor near by who sells the same or better goods at a lower price they immediately cry: "How can I succeed? My own people will not patronize me." They must learn that business is not transacted on sympathy or brotherly love, but on hard and fast lines—a dollar's worth for a dollar. Let our loss in the three so-called menial positions be a lesson to those of us who enter the marts of trade. Richardson's News Depot In the building on the south-east corner of 12th and S streets, N. W., the passerby will read this sign—"Richardson's News Depot." On entering one will find a neat room, in which may be found the daily and latest weekly papers; ice cream, candies and other notions. Mrs. G. J. Richardson, who runs the place, when her husband (who assists his father with his undertaking business) is out, is ready to serve you. Two years ago they opened the first news stand in that vicinity, in the building on the opposite corner, then occupied as a grocery. Last September they moved across the street into their present location and opened the stand in the corner room of their home. Mrs. Richardson says that she believes that there is an excellent possibility in the business arena for women. "Of course we have only a small place, but the people of this neighborhood are loyal and will patronize you if you will only keep what they want. When we moved here our former customers came on over here for their papers." In speaking of The Tribune, she said: "It is a good seller as you will note how we have increased our sales. The people like it fine." Shops of this type, tho small, help in the aggregate to swell the volume of business that is being done by our people and is an excellent training for larger and more diversified commercial development. We shall tell our readers each week of some one thus engaged and better acquaint you with your own city, and with what our people are doing here. According to the United States Treasury, each man woman and child in this country is worth $51.06. Where is yours? In the banks of the State of New York are 25,000 forgotten accounts, representing balances of from $5 to hundreds of thousands. Have you forgotten to open an account? Over 7,000,000 persons in the United States depend, in whole or in part, upon tips for their compensation. This is a gain of more than 2,000,000 in ten years, and illustrates strikingly the growth of the tipping custom in this country. Are you in this class? From a study of a large number of actual cases, it has been found that, at 25 years of age, the boy who remained in school until he was 18, had received $2,000 more salary than the boy who left school at 14, and that the better educated youth was then receiving $900 a year more in pay. This is equivalent to an investment of $18,000 at 5 per cent. Can a boy increase his capital as fast in any other way? The true way to conquer circumstance is to be a greater circumstance yourself. You can restrain the bold, guide the impetuous, encourage the timid, but for the weak there is no hope. You might as well undertake to stand a wet string up on end. Most anybody can do a thing he feels like doing, but it takes a true man to do a thing when he doesn't feel like doing it. DOINGS AT LINGOLN, MD.

In this new picture she is Lillian Drake, hostess of a popular private club in New York, a real Salamander, the kind that Owen Johnson revealed several years ago, in a starling novel as the kind of a girl who can take everything from men and give nothing in return. All Lillian longs for is to leave her old life and be married and her struggle until she achieves her ambition is intensely interesting. There is a smashing and surprising climax.

The bill included some of the best vaudeville acts in the show business—acts that are widely known throughout the United States and many of the artists who appeared on this mammoth bill had never before graced a Washington audience. Owing to the great number of acts that were summoned to Washington for this special engagement two midnight rambles were given; one at the Howard Theatre and the other at the Blue Mouse Theatre and capacity audiences filled both houses. The proceeds of these benefit performances were turned over to Colored Actor's Building Fund. The following acts appeared: Gonzell White Six, Boots Hopes, Edmonia Henderson, Washington and Samuels, Eddie Gourdin Breaking World's SPORTS AND BASEBALL MASONIC TEAM DEFEATS MD. The baseball game held in conjunction with the Masonic Field Day at the American League Park last Saturday, resulted in a victory for the home team managed by Frank D. McKinney over the Maryland jurisdiction team, managed by the Grand Secretary of Maryland, George T. Duppin. The teams went up evenly matched in a great pitchers battle between "Lefty" George Smith, the Corinthian's ace man, and Dr. Frank Sykes, the former Howard University star who twirled for the Marylanders. With the score 2 to 1 in favor of the District team, Sykes was forced to retire due to an injury to his hand and the home boys jumped on Foote, the relief hurler and put the game on ice. Aside from the high grade brand of pitching, many brilliant plays cropped up during the afternoon, the most noteworthy being a fast double play by Parks, Barnes and Dixon; a home run drive by Plummer of the locals; and the fast work of "Alex" Johnson, Warfield and Shortstop Neal of the visiting team. The game was played before an immense crowd and the spectators were keenly interested from start to finish. The same teams will meet in Baltimore on August 29 at the Maryland Jurisdiction Field Day and the Baltimore boys, with Dr. Sykes on the mound; are anticipating sweet revenge. D. C. Ab. H. O.. A.

We call on our government to follow Eng- land’s example in its present dealing and negotiations with bleeding Ire- land, and ere we as Americans, pre- sume to adjust the differences of other nations and peoples, that we take up our own domestic problems of the Republic in which a part enjoy the franchise and every grant of the constitution, and another part are id franchised and subjects of more hein- ‘ous persecution and injustice, and set- | tle our own disorders amicably, fairly and for the good of the whole people. We ask the Irish people, who form| a large portion of our citizenry, to| adopt a policy in the U. S. consis- tent with their contention in Ireland | and aid us by every possible mien to stamp out open violations of all law and intimidation, injustice before | the courts, denial of citizenship rights| at the polls and side by side fight the battle of our distinct racial groups which will indeed be in the end, a vic- tory of and for humankind. Condemns Republican Move in South} The Comimttee also sent a tele- gram to Mr. J. R. Pollard at Richmond | ‘Va. commending his stand and pur- pose to call Negroes together in a state Republican Convention as a pro- test to the determination of the white politicians of the state to exclude col- ored voters from the party’s deliber-| ations. | ‘The Committee's statement con- tinues: | Virginia in the action at Norfolk,| exposes the policy of the south to) build up a white man’s Republican| party and eliminate the Negro from| all participation and application with| the party he has supported and sus-| tained for a half century in that sec-| tion. | Had the Negro been untrue to the! Republican party it would long ago| lost prestige and power in the South-| land. It is evident that this action of | the whites meets the approval of the| National Republican Committee an that it is another attempt to disfran-| chise the Negro in the South and re-| surrect the spirit of slavery. We therefore, eal on Negroes in| other sections of the country where| such discrimination is not practiced and where they still enjoy “a sem-| lance of citizenship, to repudiate this attempt of the Republican par- ty to crush and enslave their brethren | in the south, In every town, city and state where Negroes hold the balance of power, as in New York, New Jersey, Penn- sylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Tiinois, we implore members of our race to rememer that by their vote they can at least show the party that has for- saken the black man in his struggle! for citizenship, that they will not by. vote. or influence, aid that party to power in the government, thus giv- ing it added and larger opportunity to inflict upon our race its policy of discrimination, oppression and injus- tice. Mere party prominence in the elusive political south is far too high a price to pay for the denial of Negro citizenship. Discusses Japanese Question While we are happy that our own President Harding has called several of the larger nations of the world to a conference for the purpose of dis- cussing universal disarmament and the problems of the Pacific, and while we glory in this first substantial move toward real world peace, we realize the natural hindrance to the consum- Saxon hate and exploitation. Racial hatred is longer lived and more destructive than battleships and battering rams and ere the latter are destroyed the reason for their exis- tence—racial inequality must itself first be destroyed. We regret that the ever present American prejudice against the darker races of the earth leaves an ugly sus- picion in the minds of the statesmen of Japan of doubt as to the sincerity of American motives. Our country should not expect that as long as practices of racial discrimination against Japanese in the U. 8. con- tinues that the Japanese government will agree to a demand enforcing equal privileges and opportunities in the Far East, which she alone controls. In safeguarding her national terri- torial claims, Japan does not fail to note that no promises of the powers will be kept as long as there are prac- tices of discrimination and injustices against Asiatics, either as citizens or foreigners in other countries. We want world peace, but there ean be no world peace at the sacrifice of world brotherhood. Any attempt at adjustment of world difficulties based simply on the disarmament of battle- ships and man force is fickle and use- less; likewise, there is a disarmament of the prejudices of heart and the spirit of equalities of opportunity and of races, Armed forces lose their strength only under the sway of power of disarmed discrimination and annihilating oppressions. TROUBLE BREWING IN BUSINESS LEAGUE ee ee ee tir | Atlanta, Ga. July— What is the | matter with the National Negro Busi- ness League?. That is the question that is being asked by a number of people in vari- ous parts of the country. Some months ‘to the local Business League be- | gan in earnest to prepare for the an- ‘nual meeting. A strong organiza- tion was effected, and there is at present a paid secretary of the local branch who is helping to push mat- ters for the coming annual session. "The local League announced that ‘it would give a great Industrial Ex- ‘hibit during the session, to show the [progress of the race in business ‘There have been some responses, and ‘there be an exhibit, but it will be ‘nothing like what was at first con- ‘templated. Where is the trouble? The trouble ‘seems to be in the official make-up ‘of the national body. ‘There seems to ‘be a very serious tension, if not frie- ‘tion, between leading officials of that ‘body, each of whom have their own ‘ideas and ideals concerning the pro- | motion of the work of the League. | Very recently there was a meeting |held im Philaudelphia, attended by Dr. iB. R. Moten, President of the League, |and others, seeking to find some way Jout of the difficulty. Dr. Emmett J. |Scott, Secretary of the League, was |not at this meeting, and it is not | known whether he was expected.

Pickens, the Associated Negro Press) The “ocean hell,” member of the 18th century British “Felon Fleet,”— the old teak-wood floating prison— with its airless dungeons, its branding irons, wire-wrapped and lead-tipped cat o’nine-tails, its punishment balls of iron, its straight jackets, manacles and spiked collars, its “coffin bath,” where the poor convict, whose flesh had been made raw by the nine-tailed whip, was THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, JULY 31, 1921 A eS ORE rel a, minds of the age could contrive—this ship, one century and a third old, lies ‘in New York harbor, an eloquent tes- timony to the possible beast in man, zIn the day when England deported her criminals and her unfortunate vie- tims of the barbarous law, this ship was one of the hellish fleet that car- ried the mto Australia and Tasmania, under venditions so terrible that some- times more than half the human cargo would be dead when it arrived. This Ship is a Lesson Most of us look at it and shudder and fail to/get the lesson, because we |simply use the sight as an excuse for thinking ourselves “so much better in our day.” This is false. We are not ‘much better, That generation of En- |glishmen who in 1790 set afloat these “hells of the seven seas, also thought |they were “better,”—better than the Spanish Inquisition and better than | Nero, we can hear them say. So now ‘our people look upon this horrible ship of one hundred years ago and say: “How much better we are,” and then ‘they congratulate themselves, and stop right there. And they miss, all the ‘good that this voice and vision of the _past might do them. The horse-sense “attitude for us is this: “HOW MUCH WORSE AND MORE BRUTAL WE _MUST BE NOW THAN WE THINK 'WE ARE, just as we can see now ‘that those Englishmen were much more brutal than they ever dreamed | themselyes to be.” Such a thought as ‘this would not lead to self-flattery and 'self-congratulation, but to self-exam- ination and perhaps to change and pro- gress. | And to come right down to: the ‘actual facts, we are not so different today. All the cruelty that was prac- ticed on this ship to “break the spirit” of the convicts and unfortunates, is practtced today, in our own land. ‘There is one important difference; in that day it was done under the sanc- tion of law; now it is not sanctioned by formal law, but it is DONE. The prison camps of Georgia and Missis- sippi can duplicate nearly all the hell which is testified to by the instru- ments of torture on this ship. In our childhood we have seen the “convict boss” on the public roads of Arkansas, swinging a great strap with brass tacks driven into it, and beating the ‘bare and prostate backs of the black ‘prisoners with all the might of all ‘his muscles, and we have seen them ‘treat a-white prisoner in the same way. : We are shocked when we look at the old ship “Success,” and we know that the investigator of 2,000 A.D., will be shocked when he looks at us. ~ Captain D. H. Smith owns this old ‘relic and has been sailing it all over the seven seas again as a lesson to ‘mankind and an argument for prison reform, and we are most interested in reading “testimonials” that have been written to Captain Smith by those who have visited the ship. One of these is from the governor of Vir- ginia and another is from the governor of Louisiana, and, bless our soul, both them are merely congratulating our- selves on how much better “we” are now, while both Louisiana and Vir- ginia have a Jim Crow Car system, which is one of the most exquisite con- trivances of torture ever set up in the history of the world. Thru Louisiana they would require a black man travel- ing three or four nights all the way from El Paso to Charleston TO SIT UP ON HIS BACK-BONE for the whole time and distance—and this they require by both law and public opinion. ‘The one important difference is, that those fellows who were re- quired to sleep in straight jackets on the “Success” were legally condemned of crimes and misdemeanors while the Louisiana-Virginia torture is directed against men, women, children and babies, thousands and millions of them who have never committed any offense against any law. And we have seen some of the prisons of that section, weher men drag a ball and chain as they labor on a “rock pile” at almost useless work, and where they wear spiked gyves on their legs when they sleep or toil. And besides, Virginia and Louisiana are parts of a section ‘of the world where human being, un- an ge een ea By Wellington A. Adams A COMMUNICATION FROM THE| Best Popular Song.

AMERICAN NEGRO Best Chorus using Spiritual ; COMPOSERS. ‘isan ‘ihe first Music Week in Washington is over. It was worked up in just five |weeks under the superb direction of | Mr. Robert Lawrence, and fostered by the National Bureau for the Advance- | ment of Musie of New York City. For one entire week the whole town of nearly 400,000 inhabitants was in a | singing mood. Every musical organi- | zation was expressing itself in its own | particular field. School children sere- |naded the President of the U. S. and |Mrs. Harding on the Ellipse to the | number of 50,000, 100,000 Official |Programs were printed and distrib- uted, 25,000 song sheets were used, and about 75,000 persons were rep- resented on the programs included on the Official Programs. Besides thous- ands of others not represented on the Oficial Program expressed themselves musically in devious ways. ‘The Dunbar Song Leaders are a group who took the Course in Sonz Leading under Mr, Lawrence, and who, together with tne accompanists of the group, orgunized formally st 7:30 P.M. on the evening of May 28, 1921. This group is planning already some splendid features for the second Music Week in Washington, which will take place during the Spring of 1922, one of which will be the presenting of prizes for the best composition by Negro Composers, the same to be played or sung at various programs during Music Week at the selected Music Centers, This Prize competition is open to all American-Negro Composers, and is loffered in an endeavor to stimulate our music writers to greater effort; io increase interest in music created by the Negro; and to educate the American public along the lines of present day achievement of the Negro in music. It is “hoped our young musielans as well as our experienced composers will compete. While the Committe does not pre- sume to dictate the manner in which Inspiration and the Composer shall work together, it takes this occasion to beg that our own African, or Spivit- ual themes may not be overlooked. All persons desiring to enter the competition will send NAME, AD- DRESS, and CHARACTER of the! composition, or compositions to be! passed on ,(whether Piano composi-_ tion, Cantata ete.,) to the Chairman’ of the Prize Committee as soon as possible. In return he will receive a number, which number MUST be placed on the composition or composi- eee instead of the composed’s name. |The composition oF _ compositions must reach the Chairman of the Prize Committee by January 1, 1922. Compositions must be manuscript not heretofore published, must be carefully sealed in order that they may reach [the hands of the Judges exactly as \from the hands of the Composer. The Judges will break the seal and pass upon the compositions as soon after January 1, 1922 as possible. As soon as this is done the composer will be notified so that arrangements may be_ made to begin rehearsing upon com- positions for rendition during Music Week. Judges of the compositions will in no way be connected with the Dunbar Song Leaders Class. The manuscript copies of composi- tions will remain the property of the Dunbar Song Leaders Class, and be placed in the Dunbar High School Li- brary as the nucleus of a Musical Li- brary. This does not forbid the com- poser from publishing his or her com- position. Judges will base their opinion on the following: 1, Beauty of Theme or Themes 2, Technical skill contope Oe treatment of Theme or Themes. 3, Values of Composition to music in America. The Classes of Composition for which a Prize of $25 is offered for the Best in each Class are: Best Choral Composition. Best Cantata. Best Operetta. Best Anthem, Best Sacred Song.

Landry Hildreth, a former member of the gang, fhas been induced to turn state's evidence. On his way to the city Hildreth 1s way- lala by Cranston, shot, and left tor dead.

CHAPTER IL—A cougar, on a personal montng expedition, nds Hildreth. Ins thicket, where he had crawled after be- ing shot by Cranston. The cougar fin- ishes Cranston’s work, and in striking down man becomes '@ forest outlaw. Failing, on his way home from a vist to {Snowbird's” lookout station, comes upon Cranston in the act of starting 8 forest fire. ‘The men quarrel and fight. Failing {s no match for the sturdy moun- taineer and is saved from death only by the intervention of “Snowbird,” who drives the outlaw from his victim by threatening him with « revolver. “Tm (oob" you, fast as 1 can.” be went on, almost whining. “I went to the cabin, just as you sald. But 1 didn’t get a chance to search It—" “Why not?" Cranston thundered. His voice re-echoed among the snow- wet pines. “Tl tell yon why! Because some ‘one else—evidently a cop—was al- ready searchin’ It. Both of us know there's nothin’ there, anyway. We've gone over it too many times. After & while he went away—but I didn't tarn back yet. That wouldn't be Jim Gibbs. I shadowed him, just as you'd want me to. And he went straight back to the body.” “Yes?” Cranston had hard work curbing his impatience. Again Gibbs eyes were full of ominous specula- tions. “He stopped at the body, and it was plain he'd been there before. He went ¢rawling through the thickets, lookin’ for clues. He done what you and me never thought to do—lookin’ all the way between the trail and the body. He'd already found the brass shell you told me to get. At least, It wasn't there when I looked, after he’d gone, You should've thought of it before, But he found somethin’ else a whole lot more {mportant—a roll of papers that Hildreth had chucked into an old Pine stump when he was dyin’. It was your fault, Cranston, for not gettin’ them that night. This detective stood and read ‘em on the trail. And you know—just as well as I do—what they were.” “D—n you, I went back the next morning, a8 soon as I could see. And the mountain lon had already been there. I went back lots of times since. And that shell ain't nothing—but all the time I supposed 1 put ft in my Pocket. You know how it is—a fellow throws his empty shell out by habit.” Gibbs’ eyes grew more Intent. What was this thing? Cranston's tone, in- stead of commanding, was almost Pleading. But the leader caught him- self at once. “I don't see why I need to explain any of that to you. What I want to imow is this: why you didn't shoot and get those papers away from him?” For an instant their eyes battled. But Gibbs had never the strength of his leader. If he had, it would have been asserted long since. He sucked in his breath, and his gaze fell away. It rested on Cranston's rifle, that in some manner had been pulled up across his knees. And at once he was cowed. He was never so fast with a gun as Cranston. “Blood on my hands, eh—same as on yours?” he mumbled, looking down, “What do you think I want, a rope around my neck? ‘These hills are big, but the arm of the law has reached up before, and it might again, You might as well know first as last I'm not goin’ to do any killin’s to cover up your murders.” “That comes of not going myself. You fool—it he gets that evidence down to the courts you're broken the same as me,” 3 “But I wouldn't get more'n a year or so, at most—and that’s a heap dif- elles fi He i my <o | + fi . li UPI Ye “You Just Lacked the Guts to Pull the Trigger.” ferent from the gallows. I did alm at bim—" “But you just lacked the guts to pull the trigger!” “I did, and I ain't ashamed of It. But besides—the snows are here now, and he won't be able to even get word to the valleys for six months. If you want him killed so bad, do it your- self.” ‘This was a thought indeed. On the other hand, another murder might not be necessary. Months would pass be- fore the road would be opened, and in the meantime Cranston would have a thousand chances to steal back the acedising letters. He didn’t believe for an instant that the man Gibbs had seen was a detective. He had kept too close watch over the roads for that. “A tall chap, in outing clothes— dark-haired and clean-shaven?” “Yes?” “Wears a tan hat?” “That's the man.” “1 know bim—and I wish you'd punctured him. ‘That's Failing—the tenderfoot that’s been staying at Len- nox’s. He's a lunger.” “He didn't look like no tunger to me.” “But no matter about that—it's just as I thought. And I'll get ‘em back— mark my little words.” In the meantime the best thing to do was to move at once to bis winter trapping grounds—a certain neglected region on the lower levels of the North Fork. If at any time within the next few weeks, Dan should attempt to carry word down to the settlements, be would be certain to pass within view of bis camp, But he knew that the chance of Dan starting upon any such journey before the snow had melted was not one in a thousand. To be caught in the Divide In the winter means to be snowed in as completely as the Innuits of upper Greenland. No word could pass except by man on snowshoes, Yet if the chance did come, if the house should be left unguarded, it might pay Cranston to make an im- mediate search. Dan would have no reason for supposing that Cranston suspected his possession of the let- ters; he would not be particularly watchful, and would probably pigeon- hole them until spring in Lennox’s desk. ‘And the truth was that Cranston had reasoned out the situation almost perfectly. When Dan awakened in the morning, and the snow lay already a foot deep over the wilderness world, he knew that he would have no chance to act upon the Cranston case until the snows melted in the spring. So he pushed all thought of it out of his mind and turned his attention to more pleasant subjects. It was true that he read the documents over twice as he lay in bed. ‘Then he tied them Into a neat packet and put them away where they would be quickly available. Then he thrust his head out of the window and let the great snowflakes sift down upon bis face. It was winter at last, the season that he loved. ‘ He didn’t stir from the house that first day of the storm. Snowbird and he found plenty of pleasant things to do and talk about before the roaring fire that he built in the grate. He was glad of the great pile of wood that lay outside the door. It meant life it- self, in this season. Then Snowbird led him to the windows, and they watched the white drifts pile up over the low underbrush. When finally the snowstorm ceased, five days later, the whole face of the wilderness was changed.- The buck- brush was mostly covered, the fences were out of sight; the forest seemed a clear, clean sweep of white, broken only by an occasional tall thicket and by the great, snow-covered trees. When the clouds blew away, and the alr grew clear, the temperature began to fall, Dan bad no way of knowing how low it went. Thermome- ters were not considered essential at the Lennox home. But when his eye- THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, JULY 31, 1921 esr et | CE le AN es | But he loved the cold, and the st- jlence and austerity that went with It |The wilderness 'claimed him as never before. The rugged breed that were his ancestors had struggled through such seasons as this and passed a love of them down through the years to him, When the fee made a crust over the snow, he learned to walk on snow- shoes. At first there were pained ankles and endless floundering in the |arifts. But between the fall of fresh snow and the thaws that softened, the Jerust, he slowly mastered the art. | Snowbird—and Dan never realized the |full significance of her name until he |saw her flying with incredible grace over the snow—laughed at him at first and ran him races that would usually end in bis falling headfirst into a ten- foot snowbank. She taught him how to ski and more than once she would stop in the middle of an earnest bit of pedagogy to find that.he wasn’t lis- |tening at all. He would seem to be fairly devouring her with his eyes, de- [tinting In the play of soft pinks and reds in her cheeks, and drinking, as a |man drinks wine, the amazing, change of light and shadow tn her eyes. She seemed to blossom under his gaze. Not one of those short winter days went by without the discovery jot some new trait or little vanity to astonish or delight him—sometimes | an unlooked-for tenderness toward the weak, often a sweet, untained philos- ophy of life, or perhaps just a lower- ing of her eyelids in which her eyes cata show lustrous through the lashes, or some sweeping, exuberant | gesture startlingly graceful. Lennex wakened one morning with the realization that this was one of the ardest winters of his experience. | He began to be very glad of the abun- |dant stores of provisions that over- crowded his pantry—savory hams and bacons, dried venison, sacks of pota- toes and evaporated vegetables, and, Jof course, canned goods past count- |ing, With the high fire roaring in the | grate, the season held no Ills for them. But sometimes, when the bitter cold | came down at twilight, and the moon |looked like a thing of fee Itself over the | snow, he began to wonder how the wld ‘creatures who watered on tho | Divide were faring. Of course most of them were gone, Woof, long since, had grunted and mumbled his way Into a winter lair. But the wolves re- | mained, strange gray shadows on the snow, and possibly a few of the | hardier smaller creatures, | More than once in those tong win- | ter nights their talk was chopped off short by the song of the pack on some | distant ridge. Sometime, when the | world 1s old, possibly a man will be [ee that can continue to talk and keep his mind on his words while the wolf pack sings. But he Is certainly an unknown quantity today. ‘The ery | sets in vibration curious memory | chords, and for n moment the listener | sees in his mind's eye his ancient home In an ancient world—Darkness | and Fear and Byes shining ‘about the ee It carries bim back, and he knows the wilderness as It really 1s; | and to have such knowledge dries up | all tnetioation to talk, ax a sponge | dries water. Of course the picture | isn't entirely plain, It 1s more a thing | guessed at, a photograph In some dark | part of an under-conscionsness that has constantly grown more dim as the centuries have passed. Possibly some- time ft will fade out altogether; and | then a man may continue to discuss | the weather while the Song from the ridge shudders in at the windows. But | the world will be quite cold by then, and no longer particularly interesting. And possibly even the wolves them- | selves will then be tamed to play dead | and speak pleces—which means the wilderness itself will be tamed. For as long as the wild lasts, the pack will run through It in the winter. ‘They were here in the beginning, and in spite of constant war and constant hatred on the part of men, they will be here tn the end. The reason {s just that they are the symbol of the wil- derness itself, and the {dea of it con- tinuing to exist without them Is stranger than that of a nation without a flag. Tt wasn't quite the same song that Dan had listened to in the first days of fall. It had been triumphant then, and proud with the wilderness pride. Of course it had been sad then, too, but it was more sad now, And {t was stranger, too, and crept farther into the souls of its listeners, It was the song of strength that couldn't avail against the snow, possibly of cold and the despair and courage of starvation. ‘These three that heard it were inured to the wilderness; but a moment was always needed after its last note had died to regain their gayety. “They're getting lean and they're getting savage,” Lennox sald one fetes 2+ gy Sepa a replied to Lennox’s objection, “She could kill five wolves with five shots, or pretty near ft, and you know well enough that that would hold ’em till We got home. They'd stop to eat the five. I have hard enough time keep- Ing up with her asitis, without carry- Ing a rifle.” And Lennox was content, Dan had told the truth when he sald that five deaths or even fewer. would repel the attack of any ee he had ever seen. There was Just one troubling thought. He had heard, long ago, and he had forgotten who had told him, that in the most severe win- ters the wolves gather in particularly large packs; and a quality in the song that they had heard at night seemed to bear It out. The chorus had been exceptionally lond and strong, and be had been unable to pick out Individuat voices. ‘The snow was perfect for skiing. Previously their sport had been many times interrupted either by the fall of fresh snow or a thaw that had soft- ened the snow erust; but now every afternoon was too. perfect to remain indoors, They shouted and romped in the silences, and they did not dream, but that they had the wilderness all to! themselves, The fact that one night Lennox’s keen eyes had seen what looked like the glow of a camp fire -in the distance didn’t affect this belief of theirs at all, It was evidently just the phosphorus glowing in a rotten log from which the winds had blown the snow. ‘Once or twice they caught glimpses of wild life: once a grouse that had buried In the snow flushed from their path and blew the snow-dust from its wings; and onee or twice they saw snowshoe rabbits bounding away on flat feet over the drifts. But just one day they canght sight of a wolf. ‘They were on snowshoes on a’ particularly | brilliant afternoon late In January. He was a lone male, evidently a straggler from the pack, and he leaped | from the top of a tall thicket that had | remained above the snow, ‘The man j and the girl had entirely different re- actions. Dan's first impression was | amazement at the animal's condition, Tt seemed to be in the last stages of | arvaton: unbelievably gaunt, with | rib bones showing plainly even through | the furry hide. Ordinarily the heavily furred animals do not show signs of famine; but even an inexperienced eye contd not make a mistake in this ease, ‘The eyes were red, and they carried Dan back to his first adventure in the Oregon forest—the day he had shot the mad coyote. Snowbird thought of the beast only. as an enemy, The wolves | killed her father’s stock; they were | brigands of the worst order; and she shared the hatred of them that is a common trait of all primitive peoples, Her hand whipped back, seized her pis- tol, and she fired twice at the fleeing figure, ‘The second shot was a hit: both of them saw the wolf go to Its side, then | spring up and race on, Shouting, both of them sped after him. | an a ew moments te was oat of | sight among the distant trees, but they found the blood-trail and mushed over the ridge.

And now. they cared not at wll whether they found him: it was simply a tramp In. the out-of-doors; | and both of them were young with red | Pond inter vena. But all at once Dan stopped in his | tracks. ‘The girl sped on for six paces before she missed the sound of his snowshoes; then she turned to find him standing, wholly motionless, with eyes fixed upon her. It startled her, and she didn’t know why. A companion abruptly freezing in his path, his muscles inert, and his eyes filling with speculation, is always startling. When this occurs {t means simply that a thought so compelling and engrossing that even the half- unconscious physical functions, such as walking, cannot continue, has come Into his mind. And it ts part of the | old creed of self-preservation to dislike greatly to be left out on any such (thought as this. If danger 1s present, _ the sooner it {s identified the better. “What Is it?” she demanded. __He turned to her curiously intent. | “How many shells have you in that pistol?” She took one breath and answered him, “It holds five, and I shot twice.

Let's go back.” “If yor say so, But I don’t think there’s the least bit of danger.

It's “the sign of the tenderfoot not to think | there's any danger—and I'm not going | to think that way any more.” | They turned back and mushed in silence a long time, “I suppose you'll think Tm a cow- ard.” Dan asked her humbly. “Only prudent, Dan,” she answered, smiling. Whether she meant It he did not know. “I'm just beginning to un- derstand that you—tiving here only a few months-really know and under stand all this better than I do.” She stretched her arms wide to the wilder- ness. “I guess It's your instinct.” “and I do understand,” he told her earnestly. “I sensed danger back there just as sure as I can see your face. That pack—and it’s a blz one— 1s close; and it’s terribly hungry. And yon know—you can’t help but know— that the wolves are not to be trusted tn famine times.” “I know it only too well,” she sald, ‘Then she paused and asked him about a strange grayness, like snow blown by the wind, on the sky over the ridge. Sst a eee ee Bert Cranston waited in a clump of exposed thicket on the hillside until he saw two black dots, that he knew were Dan and Snowbird, leave the Lennox home, He lay very still as they circled Yp the ridge, noticing that except for the pistol that he knew Snowbird always carried, they were unarmed, ‘There was no par- tleular reason why he should be inter- ested In that point. It was Just the mountain way always to look for weapons, and it 1s rather difficult to | trace the mental processes behind this “Impulse. Perhaps i€ can be laid to the fact that many mountain families are often at feud with one another, and anything In the way of violence may happen before the morning. | The two passed out of his sight, and after a long time he heard the crack of Snowbird’s pistol. He guessed that she had elther shot at some wild creatnre, or else was mere- ly at target practice—rather com- | mon proceeding for the two when | they were on the hills together. ‘Thus |Mt is to be seen that Cranston knew | their habits fairly well.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE, OUT OF TOWN $2.00 PER YEAR WHITE LAWYERS AND COLORED CLIENTS When will our supposed LEADERS learn Racial Solidarity? When will their Racial Consciousness be aroused to the extent that they will practice what they so often prate about? These questions must be answered before real co-operation can accomplish its possibilities for colored people. These questions are brought vividly to our attention in the case of Miss Carrie Minor Johnson vs. the Pollyanna Social Club for the payment of $973 which they collected for her material aid at a "Fashion Show" last February, by the appearance of Henry E. Davis, a white attorney, in the case. It was this same Henry E. Davis who opposed William H. Lewis' admittance to the American Bar Association because it would entail a degree of social equality. The membership of the "Pollyannas" is made up of the so-called "exclusive set" of young women of the city. All of them are educated and have been leaders in charity and other good work, and should set a better example before our youth. However, when they are called into court by a member of their own race, a young woman at that, they rush to a white lawyer to fight the case. It is bad enough to be sued for the refusal to turn over the money to Miss Johnson, but it is by far worse to hire a white lawyer to defend the refusal. There are two other cases of "leading colored people" hiring white lawyers to their sorrow. The Parents League paid about $500 for a white lawyer to represent them, yet failed to get the desired results. Prof. James L. Chestnut, recently a teacher in the Dunbar High School, hired a white lawyer to defend him before the School Board and he, too, lost his case. If you must spend your hard earned money in lawyer's fees, why not let the best colored attorney obtainable have the honor of defending you? If he loses, the money is still circulating within the race, and you have a chance of some of it getting back to you. We have some eminent lawyers here in Washington and there is no excuse under the sun for a "leading colored" person to pass up all of our lawyers and secure a white one, who invariably charges more for his services.

The attitude of this government in "passing the buck," when our Haitian policy has been questioned, is a "mighty" poor way to reward loyalty. During the Revolutionary War, Haiti raised a volunteer regiment of 800 Negro troops, and this regiment did notable service under Washington's command. They fought at the battle of Savannah and according to a French record, they are accredited with having saved the Revolutionary army on that occasion by covering the retreat of the French and American forces. This is the form of loyalty that cemented the ties of allegiance between France and America. Yet Haiti has been forced to put up with a military rule that is a disgrace to the world at large. Senator McCormick, the author of the resolution which provides for the appointment of a special committee to inquire into the occupation and administration of the territories of the Republics of Haiti and the Dominican Republic by the forces of the United States, was prevented by Senator Gerry, of Rhode Island, from having the resolution considered by the Senate. Later, however, the resolution came up again and was passed.

CELEBRATES TENTH ANNIVERSARY The officers and members of Vermont Avenue Baptist church, held a public reception in honor of the tenth anniversary of their pastor, Rev James E. Willis, Monday night, at the church. The exercises which were scheduled for 8:00 p.m., began about 9:30. Rev Wesley Wheeler was Master of Ceremonies. The welcome address was delivered by Mrs. Mary Brown. Miss Bessie Burrell sang a solo on "Building for Eternity." The history of the church was read by Mr. George W. Tyler, the church clerk. He said the church was established in 1866 by the Rev. John H. Brooks, who served until 1884. During the pastorate of Rev. Willis, the inside of the church had been improved at a cost of $3,000; a pipe organ at the cost of $9,000 was installed and a home for the aged had been purchased for $6,000. A total of $70,000 had been raised during the ten years of Rev. Willis' pastorate and the roll has reached 6,000 members. The Men's Sextette entertained with two songs, followed by the presentation of the gifts from the various auxiliaries of the church, to the pastor and his wife. About $600 was given to the pastor in money, and $30 was given to Mrs. Willis. He also received two cakes, a suit of clothes and a beautiful bouquet of flowers. After the exercises in the main auditorium, about half of the audience filed down stairs and filled three long tables well ladened with choice food, which was served in three courses. Speech making was on the program along with eats and D. W. Chase acted well his part as Toastmaster. Elected Executive Secretary Mrs. E. V. C. Williams, wife of the Rev. Dr. E. W.
