The Washington Tribune All the News That's Fit to Print VOL. I, No. 18. SMALL BOY DROWNED IN RIVER WHILE IN BATHING Left home with chum and told mother he was going to play-grounds MOTHER SHOCKED AT NEWS Although chum saw tragedy he returned home and remained silent Joseph J. Dickson, 11, of the Ilkley apartments on U street, northwest, was drowned Friday afternoon, the 2nd, while in swimming with Willie Baker, 12, 2026 Tenth street northwest, on the Virginia side of the Highway Bridge above the wharves. Joseph left home about noon, Friday. He went to Willie's home and they told Willie's mother that they were going to the playground. Instead, they walked all the way to the Highway Bridge, across it and went in bathing. The Baker boy says that Joseph went further out than he should and went down. Willie hurriedly dressed, returned home, retired at the regular time but said nothing of Joseph's drowning; and Joseph's mother, Mrs. Pearl Dickson, knew nothing of her son's untimely death until a policeman notified her Saturday morning. When a Tribune reporter called, Mrs. Robinson said that Joseph left home in good spirits about noon Friday and that she knew nothing of his death until notified by a policeman Saturday morning. "I sent for Willie to come and tell me something of it but he has not been here as yet (Thursday noon)." Joseph was eleven years old, a very dutiful boy. He was a student of Phelps school on Vermont Avenue and would have entered the 5th grade on the 19th. He was a member of the Third Baptist Sunday School at the corner of 5th and Q streets, northwest. The funeral was held at the home Tuesday and interment was made in Harmony Cemetery. NORTHERN SCHOOLS DRAWING COLOR LINE Graduate of Dunbar High refused admission at five institutions There is evidence that prominent northern schools have a working agreement which means the elimination of colored students from many of the schools. That they have flatly refused to receive applications from colored students is a fact testified to by Mr. George Robinson, Jr., who graduated from the Dunbar High School in June. He has written to five northern white schools for admission this fall, four of which informed him that they could not accommodate colored students, while from the fifth, Tilton Institute, in New Hampshire, the dean of that institution (mistaking Mr. Robinson for a white man) wrote him: "Knowing that you are from the South, it may interest you to know that we do not accept Negro students. We will therefore, look forward to your application with pleasure." Young Robinson has written to Williston and Worcester Academies in Massachusetts, one in Maine and one in New Jersey, neither of which would receive him. Young Robinson is becoming discouraged after five unsuccessful attempts to enter a northern school for this coming term, and cannot say as yet as to just where he will be able to enter school this fall. Published Weekly PARENTS LEAGUE RESUMES MEETINGS The Parents League resumed it bi-monthly meetings Monday night at Metropolitan A. M. E. church on M Street near 15th. Mrs. F. S. Tanner, the president was present and after an appropriate address, appointed working committees for the fall campaign. The Social Committee will look after the schools, equipment, efficiency, play-grounds, qualified teachers,et c. The Truants Committee will help the truant officers in rounding up the delinquent children. At their next meeting, on the 19th of September the Hon. Fountain Peyton will address the League. "LINK" LOSES HIS FIGHT FOR OFFICE Sub Committee of Senate reports unfavorably on confirmation "Link" Johnson will not be confirmed as Register of Deeds of the District of Columbia if the report of the sub-committee to reject his nomination carries weight with the Senate District Committee when reported to that body. It is understood that the sub-committee, to whom the charges were referred for investigation, will report that his confirmation should be refused. Sometime ago the President sent in the name of Henry L. Johnson for Recorder of Deeds, a position which he held under Roosevelt. The nomination was perfunctorily reported to the Senate, Tom Watson of Georgia, objected; and within a short time filed charges sufficient for a committee investigation. The Senate District Committee appointed a subcommittee of five, of which Senator Jones of the State of Washington, was appointed chairman. It is this sub-committee that will report unfavorably on Johnson's nomination. A Tribune reporter called at the residence of Mr. Johnson Friday morning but was informed that Mr. Johnson was not saying anything on political matters. He is reported improving from his recent attack of illness. FRATERNAL SOCIETY CONVENES HERE The Eleventh Annual session of the Improved Order of the Shepherds and Daughters of Bethlehem convened in Washington, Tuesday and adjourned Thursday, holding their meeting at the Florida Avenue Baptist church. The headquarters of this organization is in Richmond, Va. Attorney J. Thomas Hewin, of Richmond, Va., is at the head of it and is styled the Grand Shepherd. Amos C. Clark, of Richmond, is the Grand Secretary-Treasurer. The reports show that there are 8,000 members in the States of Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey and the District of Columbia. It is a fraternal and mutual benefit association. There were 115 delegates present at this meeting. Mrs. M. E. Washington organized the local, known as the Pride of Washington, Number 193, the 31st of July, 1920. It has grown rapidly and is considered one of the strong "Folds" of the order. The receipts for the year show an increase of about $2,000 over last year, which shows $15,907.03. There were 14 new "Folds" added to the total number, and about 300 new members. The same officers were re-elected Thursday afternoon for the ensuing year. HALLS HILL TO HAVE BRANCH N. A. A. C. P. Halls Hill, Va., Sept 7 - The N. A. A. C. P. will soon have a branch in Arlington County according to in- formation received here. Mrs Mary Harris has been instrumental in caring this branch. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1921 PROF. ROBERT T. KERLIN PRAISES RACE NEWSPAPERS WITH HIGH STANDARDS In Letter to Tribune, he States he was never Happier, Though Grieved by Gross Injustice. To the list of admirers of The Tribune, we are pleased to add the name of Prof. Robert T. Kerlin deposed head of the Department of English at the Virginia Military Institute, Lexington, Va. Prof. Kerlin has been a close observer of Racial newspapers for a number of years. His late book, "The Voice of the Negro" was compiled mostly from articles and editorials appearing in these papers. He, perhaps more than any one else in America, can speak as an authority on these papers. In a recent letter Professor Kerlin states what he thinks of The Tribune, and even despite our innate modesty we feel impelled to publish the letter hoping it may hearten others—as it has heartened us—who are trying to raise the standard of our race journalism especially as to the points mentioned in Prof. Kerlin's letter—which is as follows: ALL COLORED TICKET IN VA. Richmond, Va. Sept. 6—A full ticket for the gubernatorial election in November was nominated here yesterday in the Republican Mass Convention. The following persons were named for office: Governor, John Mitchell, Jr.; Lieutenant Governor, Theodore Nash of Portsmouth; Attorney General, J. Thomas Newsome of Newport News; Treasurer, T. E. Jackson of Staunton; Superintendent of Public Instruction, Mrs. Maggie L. Walker of Richmond; Secretary of the Commonwealth, F. V. Bacchus of Lynchburg; Corporation Commissioner, Jacob L. Reid of Roanoke; Commissioner of Agriculture, A. T. Brickhouse of Exmore. Large delegations from each of the ten Congressional districts in the state packed the house to capacity at each session, which was a chapter in the Nation's political history, especially as it affects colored Americans. Joseph R. Pollard was elected chairman of the convention and will be campaign manager for the ticket in the coming election. H. H. Price was re-elected State Secretary. The Convention authorized the Chairman to call a National Convention at Washington, D. C., this fall to consider and formulate and prosecute a national political policy for colored people. It is expected that this national call will be made soon. In the final retrospect Chairman Pollard recounted the incidents leading up to the present situation and thanked all who had had any part in bringing about the success of the Convention and Virginia Republicanism. He told of the unselfish efforts of State Secretary H. H. Price, the man who was defeated last year for Congress, in his eternal vigilance for the good of the cause and in his sacrificing work to "put over" pure Republicanism and redeem the party from the clutches of usurpers and hypocrites. It is largely due to the efforts of H. H. Price, said Mr. Pollard, "that we are where we are today, and too much praise cannot be accorded this quiet and powerful man." KILLS MAN OVER $2.50 Columbia; S. C., Aug. 28.—A mob of 150 white farmers took William Allen from the sheriff of this county and after hanging him, filled his body with 1,500 bullets. Allen killed a farmer by the name Lexington, Va., Sept. 6, 1921 "My dear Mr. Luvalle: "What an enterprising man you are! This new venture looks good. The Washington Tribune is one of the best looking, best edited papers that reaches me. Surely you have set yourselves a high standard. There is great need of such papers. They will inevitably drive out a practically worthless type. And that is the general law in this world. The evil and the inferior must yield and give place to the more excellent. I wish you great success. "As for me, never was I happier—though grieved by gross injustice. A moral victory has been won. Ultimately we shall all have the victory for justice. Faith, courage, persistency, these are the qualities that will win. Boldness of speech and action, now in gentleness, now in might and always in love,—this too. "Yours cordially, ROBERT T. KERLIN." BOY MURDERED ON U STREET As a result of a discussion over some shells fitting a 32-calibre pistol, Robert Edgar Rose, 18, of 2117 Tenth street northwest, shot Raymond Thornton 16, of 920 V street, northwest, thru the heart, Sunday about eleven o' clock, at 1103 U Street, Northwest, resulting in his death within ten minutes. Rose was sitting in the house at 103 U Street when Raymond came up to the window. Robert went out the front door and in handling the pistol, dropped it on the ground and two of the cartridges fell out. Raymond grabbed them and ran up Tenth street; Robert ran after him, and overtook Raymond about midway the block. They returned to 1103. Robert went inside the house and Raymond walked up to the open window. Robert snapped the pistol twice and said, "That is for the two bullets which dropped out. Raymond, if I shoot you this time it will be no fault of mine." He fired and the bullet struck Raymond near the heart. He turned to run toward his home and said, "Lord have mercy, I am shot," but fell only a few feet from the window. Rose ran away but was soon apprehended and placed in jail where he is held on the charge of manslaughter to await the action of the grand jury. It is alleged that Rose had been carrying the pistol for two weeks. Young Thornton's funeral was held Wednesday at Rev. Anderson's church on W street near 11th, and the interment took place in Paine's Cemetery. Young Thornton was from Prince George County, Maryland, where he lived with his father and sisters until he came to Washington to work for the late Denny Hinton, who committed suicide last spring. He secured a room with Mrs. Lizzie Washington, 920 V street. He was liked in the neighborhood because of his kind disposition and willingness to assist any one in any way that he could do a service for them. The Rose boy lives with his mother, Mrs. Wilson, at 2117 Tenth Street, Apt. 7. of Noah Frick, during a dispute over $2.50 and had been arrested and was in the custody of the sheriff when the mob surrounded them and took Allen away from the officer of the law. The colored people are stirred up over this and similar lynchings and hundreds are leaving and others will leave as soon as they can dispose of their crones. Office: 920 U St., N. W. KILLS CHILDREN TO SAVE EXPENSES Elwood, Kans. Sept. 8:—Owing to the funds of the family treasury growing low, and the school days approaching, which necessitated new clothes and new books and being tired of the cares of her two sisters, 8 and 10 years old, Olive Scott 18, in an alleged confession, said she drowned the little girls in the Missouri River because of the burden of their care. Their mother died some months ago leaving Olive as mother and housekeeper for her father and the two little sisters. She is held at the Troy jail for action of the grand jury. NEW CLOTHING STORE OPENS U Street venture starts off with a full line of Men's Wear The opening of the Imperial Commercial Clothing Company's store at 1214 U street northwest, Thursday of last week, marks the entrance of a first class business enterprise into the commercial life of Washington. Wm. Harris, the manager stated to a Tribune reporter, "The company was more than pleased with the support and patronage already shown by the buying public of the Capital City. We find that our people will patronize their own places of business when the business merits their patronage." The Company purchased the building and grounds and remodeled it for their special convenience. There are two floors. On the ground floor is located the Men's store. A department for ladies will be opened January First on the second floor. Their stock is clean, new, first class and at moderate prices. They have the latest styles in hats, caps, ties, shirts, collars, underwear and novelties. The window and show case display present taste and show off the various articles to advantage. The company has a novel plan of giving away ten dollar each week to someone that purchased five dollars worth of goods during that week. Elder E. A. Osborn, 1331 U Street, received the first ten dollar bill which was presented to him Monday. Three men are employed regularly. They are F. T. Harris, manager; R. B. Ford and A. C. Gilmore. They seem to have the spirit of service which they have made their motto. MRS. M. L. GRAY RETURNS HOME Mrs. Monen L. Gray returned Tuesday from Kansas City and Chicago. As Chairman of the National Negro Women's League, Mrs. Gray called a national convention in Kansas City or August 22 to 27th. The Convention was held and Mrs. Gray elected President of the League. There were a large number of women present at this meeting which proves that the colored women are interested in politics and are ready to carry out their part of the program for the advancement of the race. "We have made history," said Mrs. Gray to a representative of The Tribune, at her office at 1721 U Street Northwest, "and we are doing something the men should have done long ago, perfect a real workable organization; for without organization we will not be able to accomplish anything. The women demonstrated a zeal at Kansas City that really surprised me. With our national organization we hope to assemble the strength necessary to impress the President and National Committee that must give our race due recognition and protection." The convention was a success in every request and Mrs. Gray expressed her satisfaction for the impression Circulation Books Open To All PRICE 5 CENTS PROF. WILKINSON OUTLINES HIS POLICIES FOR COMING YEAR Takes Press in confidence as one of his first acts in office WILL SERVE RACE Welfare of the children and teachers to be his first consideration Prof. Garnett C. Wilkinson, who accepted the duties of Assistant Superintendent in charge of colored Schools, filling the place vacated by Prof. Roscoe C. Bruce who is on an "indefinite leave of absence," called the representatives of the colored press to his office in the Franklin school building, Wednesday for a conference which lasted about an hour. In expressing his policies, Prof. Wilkinson said: "I wish to announce to the public that I am a public servant and it is my desire to serve the public faithfully. I feel the responsibility of the position and shall do my best to prove a worthy servant to my people. "I shall endeavor to do my work harmoniously and in cooperation with the Superintendent of the Schools and the Board of Education. They are my superior officers but I shall not forget my duties toward my own people." "The child in the school is to be my main object. Of all things to consider the interest of the children come first for it is for the child that the school exists. Good housing, choice teachers, up-to-date and adequate equipment with healthy surroundings, are the things that make the child's progress and for which I shall devote my attention. "We shall endeavor to promote among the teaching corps, scholarship and self-improvement, for I desire to keep, as we now have, choice teachers. By scholarship, I mean the application to books and current reading. By self-improvement, I mean the acquiring of efficiency, healthful exercise and professional spirit. I shall strive for inspiring morale for I realize that the success of our system depends upon a wholesome morale. "I shall endeavor to secure for all of the employees better working conditions and higher salaries. In all matters affecting the interest of employees, pupils and patrons, I shall be just, but, direct and courageous." "I desire to cooperate with the press for I realize that you represent the greatest factor for moulding sentiment in the community." Prof. Garnett C. Wilkinson is a product of the city schools having passed thru the grades and graduated at Dunbar High School. After finishing the schools here he entered Oberlin College where he received his A. B. in 1902. That fall he was appointed principal of M Street High School; in 1912 he was transferred to the Armstrong Training School and in 1916 was made principal of Dunbar High School. In 1909 he received the degree of LL.B., from Howard University. Prof. Wilkinson is in his forty-second year. This is a distinct promotion for Professor Wilkinson and in keeping with his past record. The position carries a salary of $3,750.00. made and the influence wielded. The governor of West Virginia and several Senators and Representatives sent greetings. Mrs. Gray is now getting her office in shape to handle the volume of work that will of necessity have to be performed in perfecting the National Negro Women's League, the newest organization in the political field. ? GOOD MANNERS. AWISE Itallan says that you can tell how civilized people are by the way that they behave in the street. He adds that if a man is considerate of his neighbor it shows that he has a proper respect for himself. If a French peasant brushes against a stranger in the street or on the road, he touches his hat in apology. This sensitiveness to the rights of others is not found everywhere else in the world. In fact, the tendency to hustle and bustle, to push others out of the way, has been growing of late nearly everywhere. Gilbert Franhcu, the novelist, is so irritated by what he calls the bad manners of the day that he regrets the good old days when everybody carried some sort of weapon and was ready to use it, if offended. Undoubtedly a man with a sword who was not inclined to fight would be careful about knocking against another who was similarly armed. The Chinese have a proverb that "The fear of death is the beginning of discipline." If this is true, there must be something in the theory that when people gave up wearing rapiers and pistols, they become undisciplined and careless. In the same way, though the use of arms tended to cheapen human life and to encourage bragging and bullying, dueling and brawling, it also had an effect on manners. In the wild Western "movies" politeness and "guns" go together and, as a row is settled offhand, without waiting for the sheriff with his star, everybody is very careful not to "start anything." If a man may be insolent, selfish or unchivalrous without running any personal risk, there is a chance that he may go through life like a bull in a china shop. But when everybody attended to his own quarrels, it was overdone, and false standards of "honor" were set up as in the case of dueling customs of certain European armies. It is probably better to rely on the policeman and the law when we suffer an injury. On the other hand, it is pointed out by Mr. Franhcu and the like that the law is a cannon that it takes many months to load. Besides, the law does not bother about trifles, such as somebody's feelings. Actual injury must be shown. Good manners may be a trifle. But they have a lot to do with happiness. And happiness is no trifle. (Copyright.) LYRICS OF LIFE By DOUGLAS MALLOCH THE JOYS WE SHARE. THIS makes the songs of night so sweet: They are not here before your feet But over yonder; over hills You hear the evening whip-poor-wills Their notes melodious, their trills, Repeat. The unseen singers sweeter far Than caged companions always are: They do not sing for you, for me, They sing for all humanity— They are a part of grass, of tree, Of star. And so in life, the pleasures there Are greatest common everywhere. We ask so much for our own ease, We seek so much so much to please, Yet find our greatest joys in these We share. We must tear down the selfish wall; Our song must be a comrade call. Alone no happiness is had— Each day will be increasing glad If something to the joy we add Of all. (Copyright.) Aircraft Garage. The old joke of asking aviators: "Where is your garage?" has become passe with the establishment near London, England, of a bona fide aircraft garage intended for the use of aerial tourists and private plane owners. The company's announcement says: "A staff of highly skilled mechanics under fully qualified ground engineers. Petrol and oil supplies. Overhauls, modifications and repairs promptly executed." A IGNORANT You told me, when I married you, that I could have all the new gowns I wanted. I didn't know then that there were that many made. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 10, 1921 By FREDERICK CLARKE (© 1921, Western Newspaper Union.) Lucy and I looked at each other when the lawyer came to that clause in Uncle Jabez' will. We did not look straight out of the corners of our eyes. At least, I saw that Lucy was looking at me, and so I infer that she saw that I was looking at her. Then we each stared hard at the wall-paper. "To my nephew, Arthur Bowen, the sum of $14,000 and my property on Madison avenue, consisting of the apartment house known as 'The Maple Vine,' on condition that he shall not marry the said Lucy Stokes within a period of 20 years, and the said property and capital to be held in trust for him during that period and the interest paid to him quarterly," the ferocious old fellow had written. "And to my niece, Lucy Stokes, the sum of $30,000, to be held in trust for her for 20 years following my death, and the interest to be paid to the said Lucy Stokes quarterly, contingent upon her not marrying the said Arthur Bowen. And should the aforesaid legatees marry during that period the capital and property aforementioned shall revert to the person whose name is in the possession of my lawyer, Mr. Griffin Coleworth." It did not run exactly in this way, but that was the sum and substance of it. And the point was that Lucy and I had never wanted to marry each other. It must have been three months later, about the time when I received the first quarterly installment, that I read the account of Mr. Richardson's marriage to Miss Bunting. Oddly enough, I experienced a sudden lightening of my emotions, as though I had been relieved of some dreadful burden. And then I understood. Although I had not been aware of it I had actually been jealous of Mr. Richardson! Yet Lucy and I were utterly incompatible in temperament as we had agreed a thousand times. We ran across each other at Atlantic city that summer and stopped to chat. "Dear old Uncle Jabez!" said Lucy ecstatically. "Do you know, Arthur—I don't mind confessing it to you now—at one time I positively had a sort of tender feeling toward you. "When did this feeling possess you?" I asked her. "Oh, ages ago," she said evasively. "Long, long before dear Uncle Jabez died. I wouldn't have told you, only—well, I may be engaged shortly." "Who is he?" I yelled. I don't know why it was, but I felt utterly crushed. And presently I began to realize what was the matter with me. I was in love—and with Lucy! I couldn't wait; I hurried after her. I found her entering her hotel upon the arm of a smart, dark-haired fellow. I wrote her a letter asking for an appointment next afternoon at three o'clock. At three o'clock I was at her hotel. Her maid handed me a letter. I opened it. "I am sorry, Arthur, but I have an engagement with Mr. Clements this afternoon." I read. "Perhaps some other time will do? I am leaving this evening for—" I dashed the letter upon the floor and strode out of the room. I had reached the front door of the suite when I heard a voice calling me. I looked back. There stood Lucy at the door, dressed all in white and looking like a saint. "Oh, Mr. Bowen, I didn't go out after all. I had a headache," she said. "What was it you wanted to see me about, Arthur?" I reached her in four strides. "Lucy," I said, making no bones about it. "I have found out that I love you. Will you marry me and let Uncle Jabez go to—the deuce?" I was so keyed up that I didn't know what I was saying. She put her arms round my neck and laid her head down on my shoulder and cried. "Oh, Arthur," she said two minutes later, "do you know I have loved you all the time?" So we were engaged, and we took the train back to town next day to see Mr. Coleworth. Mr. Coleworth came out of his office at once and led us back into a cozy corner beside a real, old-fashioned fireplace. "So you two young people have found out that you are in love with each other?" he asked quizzically. "Yes, and we are going to get married." I answered. "Oh, pshaw!" said Mr. Coleworth. "I'm afraid that the capital must go to the third party now." "Who is the third party?" I demanded savely. Mr. Coleworth turned round. Mr. Stokes," he said, "to be frank with you, it was with my connivance that he put that clause in his will. He wanted you to get married and thought that was the best way to bring it about." "Well, he's had his wish," I answered angrily. "Who gets the money now?" He pulled the will out of a drawer and read: "If the said parties shall marry, then I bequeath the said property to the first-born issue of the said marriage to be shared among all the issue of the said parties, the principal to be held in trust for the said legacies by the parties aforementioned." That was the time Lucy looked very hard at the wall-paper. WHEN DICKENS ATE 'POSSUM English Author and Washington Irving Dined With Webster in the National Capital. "I have, sir, just purchased in the market a famous opossum"—so wrote Webster to Irving and the latter's guest, Dickens, in March, 1842—"and I have sent it home to Monica, my cook, who will stuff it with chestnuts and bake it with sweet potatoes in true Virginia style. It will be, sir, a dish fit for the gods. Come, with your friend, and partake." Dickens and Irving did partake in Webster's house, on Connecticut avenue, Washington, and Dickens did not relish the 'possum as much as he relished Webster's company. In a paper on literary aspects of the capital in the Catholie World Margaret B. Downing recalls another British visitor's introduction to a new dainty in Washington. Thackeray, in 1851, ate his first ice cream with Irving at the home of Hamilton Fish, on H street. Not many people realize that Irving lived for nearly five years in Washington. Of course, every one knows that George Bancroft long lived there, and that Whitman and Burroughs were in the civil service during the same Civil war years. Probably most people know also that Mrs. Stowe resided in Washington while "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was appearing in the National Era. Charles Warren Stoddard, the author of the "South Sea Idylls," also lived in Washington for a time. But no city really has title to an author until he not only lives in it, but writes about it. The author of this paper omits all mention of Henry Adams and the most notable novel of Washington life, "Democracy."—New York Evening Post. HAS MANY CLAIMS TO FAME Island of Jersey Has Been Called a Wonderland—Really Is an Interesting Place. The island of Jersey is famed for many things, remarks the "Under the Clock" columnist of the London Daily News. . . lilies, golfers, "wonders," potatoes and cabbages ten feet high, to mention only a few of its most obvious specialities. But its chief claim to fame is that it is the residuary legatee of the old Norman duchy, therefore the Inheritor (and presumably the proprietor) of the British empire, Jersey undoubtedly fought in William's victorious army, at Hastings, and to this day the island has a constitution and laws which have been little altered since the reign of King John, and which, on occasions, have even dared to defy the thunders of the privy council. The inhabitants are a most intensely loyal people, and the two greatest blows that can be offered to their pride are, first, to confuse their island with Guernsey, and second, to call them French. Fancy the joy of the Jersey contingent which was welcomed into Fermoy with the strains of the Marsellise! Jersey has never been conquered; England has; the deduction is oblivious. Cypress Lumbering. Not many years ago owners of cypress swamps regarded their property as practically worthless. Cypress lumbering was attended with peculiar difficulties because of its swampy growth. The green logs could not be moved with oxen or mules because of their great weight and the softness of the soil. And often the logs were so saturated with moisture that they would not float. Sometimes only about 15 per cent of a cut could be gotten to market. Finally lumbermen began to girdle the trees six months or a year before cutting, which resulted in a great saving. Now the lumbermen drain the swamps before cutting. Swamp drainage is an important part of modern cypress lumbering. Massive machinery also is used. In the overhead cable skid method the logs are brought in by a carrier travelling over a powerful cable suspended between two trees, usually about six hundred feet apart. Color Blindness. In total color blindness the eye distinguishes only light and dark, in the more common partial color blindness red is mistaken for green, or black for brown, and in a third form only primary colors can be made out, often with confusion of blue and violet. The new spectrometer of F. W. Eldrldrge-Green measures the portion of the spectrum appearing to be monochromatic and the limits of visibility at each end of the sectrum. The average eye sees six definite colors and 18 apparently monochromatic parts of the spectrum; another more or less imperfect color vision separates not fewer single color patches than 18. Exceptional eyesight detects seven distinct colors, with as many as 25 monochromatic patches. Joke on Him. The bride and groom, followed by the usual shower of old shoes and rice, boarded the train. The traveling man across the alse enjoyed the fun to his heart's content. After the train started, the groom tried to clean up the rubblish left by the merrymakers. He opened the window and threw out the old shoes and rubbish. The traveling man was so amused that he forgot that he was sitting there in his stocking feet. Later he came to his senses and then he found that the groom had mistaken the only pair of shoes the traveling man had with him for some that the merrymakers had left. Elder E. A.

Ladies' Department Opens Jan. 1st A recent release from the census bureau, gives the population of South Carolina in 1920, as 864,719 colored and 818,538 whites. Notwithstanding the heavy migration of colored people from the South in general and South Carolina in particular, during and since the war period, there was an increase of about 30,000 colored people during the ten year period since 1910, while the white population increased 159,377. Of course all the colored people were not counted and never are, by the census takers, particular in the South. It is to the South's advantage to try to keep the number of colored people as low as possible. As it is, there are more colored than white people in the state of South Carolina. The official ratio of colored and white people in South Carolina is placed at 51.4 colored and 48.6 white. In the counties of the state the percentage of colored people to white ranges from 18 per cent in Pickens County to 78.4 in Beaufort County. In other words there are only 22 white people to 78 colored in every hundred in Beaufort County. The majority does not rule in Beaufort County altho we are supposed to be living under a republican form of government which promulgates the principle of "the majority rules." "REMEMBER TULSA" IS THE SLOGAN (By the Associated Negro Press) Chicago,—"REMEMBER TULSA!" That is one of the big slogans of the hour. Tulsa is the Odessa of the United States. Not contented with the most terrible and horror striking lot and massacre in the history of the nation, the whites of Tulsa, a certain element of them, have combined to do two things. First, to keep the people who lost property from securing any insurance; and second, to find some means of preventing the people from rebuilding on the ground where once stood the proud achievements of great business success and racial progress. There have been almost one hundred indictments returned against Negroes who are charged with having either incited or participated in the riot. Tulsa Colored Americans have organized to combat all of these efforts. They are sending out the cry and appeal for help thru properly organized committees that have the endorsement of the best people of the community. The Colored people of the country are not to fail Tulsa, for behind it lies the future possibilities of the race in this country. It was Booker T. Washington who advised the people to engage in business, and rise above the flaunts and hold-backs of racial prejudice and discriminations. Tulsa, proud, glorious Tulsa, arose to this admonition superior to most American communities, only to discover that white hatred cannot willingly accept competitive success where the black man is concerned. If this new line of racial proscription is permitted to get a hold in American life, there is no telling where it will end.

Parcel Porters Meet. There was a get-to-gether meeting of the Parcel Porters Company held at the residence of Mr. J. E. Mitchell, 602 49th Street, N. E. on August 31st. President-Elect Mitchell outlined the purpose of the meeting. Each member spoke pledging support in upbuilding the future of the company. After the meeting, luncheon was served by Mrs. J. E. Mitchell. Present: J. E. Mitchell, president; L. T. Barbour, Financial Secretary; F. Hamlin, assistant Financial Secretary; A. Smith, Recording Secretary; A. Jones, Treasurer; E. Minor, Chaplain; Owing to illness, J. O. Woods, Vice-president, was unable to attend. O. W. Gurley man and citizen of Tulsa, and a former deputy sheriff, was in Chicago recently completing arrangements with the Chicago Defender, through Robert S. Abbott, to receive money for the Tulsa needs. Every true hearted American citizen is asked to make a contribution to the cause. Mr. Gurley was accompanied by Attorney Elisha Scott, of Kansas, who has been retained, with other well known attorneys, to handle the legal side of the Tulsa affairs, and a large sum of money is needed, these gentlemen claim. An ordinance was passed extending the fire limits in Tulsa, seeking to prevent rebuilding by Negroes in the Greenwood district. This ordinance was given a death blow by the courts, and straightway another was passed seeking to carry the same purpose. It it stated that this new measure will be taken before the courts and given the same treatment as the previous one. "Remember Tulsa."

HARRIS, Manager Opens Jan. 1st THE PERISCOPE “The Scylla and the Charybdis of Colored Woman Suffrage” (By Wm. Pickens) aS much as that of any man we knew. Cur sisters are women. We believe full rights for women as human be- ings. Altho we knew that the first effec of woman's vote in the United State: would be to increase the hostile ma- jority against the rights and interests of. colored Americans, we also knew that to establish the rights of women would tend to secure and to insure the rights of other denied groups. Our faith was not foanded on the fiction or illusion about the superior goodness of woman, but on the psycho-scientific truth that the triumph of one op- pressed class strengthens the claim of all. We recognize also for colored Amer. icans directly two great dangers in politics, via their women. After one year of experience with them, we can the more easily describe them. These dangers are:— 1. The colored woman in service who wil Itake orders from hr adopts the opinions of “her white folks,” es- pecially of the femsle whites of the household. 2, That other colored woman, not often a servant in the house, and not nearly as numerous now as when we were children, but more dangerous than ever under a regime of bisexual politics, who mancavers to make her way and secure her position by friend- ly dealings with white men. She is the product of American interracial history. These are the Scylla and the Charybdis of American colored woman suffrage. Colored American Woman- hood has sailed past other dangers; perhaps it will come past these; but it will not pass them safely by not knowing that they exist, nor by ig- noring them. First, the colored woman in service She has been accustomed to adopt the oninions or to accept the dictation of the white family in many other matters, and will naturally be inclined to do lixewise in the matter of hei vote. There are, colored men in the same situation, but we are speaking now of this added burden from the woman voter. Proportionately a much larger number of colored than of white women are thus obligated by personal service; so that at first the independent black vote will be rela. tively more reduced than will the in- dependent white vote. This was to be expected, but should not be ignored. Most of these servant women are honest and well-meaning and will stick to the interests of their race when they understand. The advancing edu- cation of the masses will help. Help will also come from the growing eco- nomic strength of the colored group and the employment of colored women in colored enterprises, and the pro- portionate reduction in the number of them employed as house and body servants to white people. But much immediate relief can be had thru the organization of these servants into Working Girls’ Clubs, Working Women’s Homes, and similar institu- tions, if they are sponsored and led by the intelligent and economically independent colored women of the community. There is nothing hope- less about the case of this servant woman. She is to the racial body like an ordinary physical weakness or ab normal development in the body of 8 fast growing child: the gradual strengthening of the whole organism will cure the defect. But the greatest single danger f the succes of Negro suffrage is that other colored woman, an inheritance of American social conditions, natural product of a submerged and oppressed class, cunning and sometimes even in- tellectual, who knows how to establish her individual fortune or to miaintair her personal interests by way of the well-known and remarkable propensi. ties of some prominent white males She is the real risk.. It is true tha such women are never more reprehen sible, and often not half as despicabl and wicked as the men with whom they deal. But we are now talking about the women: these women ar more within the power of the colore: group than are those men. The grouy must defend itself by correcting o suppressnig this element. Women of this type have in a few localities ir THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1921 00 YOU KNOW WHY --~ Tee Other Guys Job Always Looks The best ? |e) ee ew Une beook ere qminy OF O20Ne.? qeen £3 G) earned |~ ee | aegis PPMP SA, - REO) A A e\/ Sie ee ne < & EO MAAN EE [4 x CORSE a DY) Pre) Se TPL VIAGES See WE o> SS RN Sy SOA et eS ESE brief year of the suffrage of their sex we can already feel the harmful in- fluence of that adventurous and neces- sarily selfish woman, | She is selfish: for in efforts to ‘maintain her own position she threat- jens the success of het entire group. She may cause the white woman voter to become firmly set against all civil and political interests of the entire Negro race. This one bad or even indisereet colored woman can do more harm than the ninety and nine others, honest and sensible, can do good. White women are quickly frightened when in competition with colored women. And the one burden of all burdens which colored American citi- zenship should not wish to bear, is that ‘the body of white women voters should ‘be seared into a convietion that when- ever they are called upon to vote on the interests or rights of colored Americans, they must at the same time vote in sex-competition with colored women. This would multiply the “social equality” Bogie into a Jug- gernant. ‘The danger is illustrated by what happened in a prominent eastern state when a bill was before the legislature to secure for colored Americans their full civil rights; such as the right to buy a lunch in a restaurant or a ‘night’s rest in a hotel, a right which ‘every well-behaved person should have ‘in any civilized country. This bill which seemed at one time to pass, was finally and suddenly defeated. Why? ‘Well, among the colored delegation lobbying for the bill were some women and at the same time there were some white women ir the lobbics in the in- terest of yarious bills. It happened ‘that one or two of the colored women, who were perfectly good perhaps, were ‘ly wrong for the purpose. One of ‘these women who certainly looked good, and perhaps was good, had on a different “stunning” dress about every ‘time she came into the lobby. And she paid no attention to the white ‘women, which was perhaps natural as ‘they had no cirect vote on the bill, but ‘devoted all her time to conferences ‘with the white men. A spirit of hostili- ty grew between these two groups of women, and it was not long before ‘every white woman present, even tho ‘she had come there in the interest of ‘other legislation, was working with all the might of fright against “that civil rights bill.” Stop and think! This bill aimed to secure, among other things, hotel ‘rights for all peoples and colors. But ‘if these white women were made to fear the competition of this colored ‘woman in the legislative lobbies, they would be frightened at the very imagi- nation of having to compete against ‘her in the hotel lobbies. They got jearnest, passionate and, panicky in ‘their opposition to that very civil bill. Undoubtedly some of their men, who were opposed to the bill, were cunning enough to suggest the situation to them, The bill was defeated. But should not the colored woman ‘citizen be expected to work in the in- | terest of an undoubtedly righteous bill and one which involves her welfare ?— Well, we are not one of the old wise ones, They still call us “the young man,” when they introduce us to make |a speéch,—albeit we are forty full years. And we shy at the role of advice-giver, but we have a sugges- tion: That in such a situation as the gne described, colored men should deal with white men, and colored women ‘with white women, And the colored woman sélected for such a mission should be brainy, modest and sensible, and perhaps prone to wear the same dress long enough to allow the be- holder to get used to it and to forget it. By no means should she be a woman who has a penchant for man- managing. There are some sensible white women in America. To these the sensible colored woman should ad- dress her case, while her men deal with their men. If this is abnormal, it is because the situation in America is not normal. We must deal with it not as it ought to be, but as it is ‘The laws of human nature cannot be ‘successfully ignored any more than the laws of physical nature. This has been the hardest thing for us to write; we haye talked about it, thought over it, mused upon it. pon- i How ir + ere vaare 5 z Pe Se eee ‘ WP ad aes 4 | i i @ c Ria 2 Me) kee AL [5 382 WB i ayaa Oe Cia om? y CN) ei Ad r p Vy ) A SG) F LOE KL AS] LIES GF SEO iss] CESSES gain: all because it puts us in the un- pleasant attitude of partial criticism against the class in whom we have as much confidence as we have in any humans, and whom we like better than we like all other humans—COLORED AMERICAN WOMEN. But if we would have peace and prosperity with universal suffrage, for God’s sake let us keep this second stroke of the chiasmus of interracial sex motives out of polities. THE CRISIS We are in the midst of it—THE CRISIS. It is a real condition, not 1 theory. It is rooted and grounded ir bedrock of hellish possibilities, and is not to be brushed aside by an in- different shake of the head, or an un- concerned wave of the hand. Sentiment js fine, but sentiment will not take us out of this pocket of op- pression. The time is at hand to de big things in a big way. It is no “Mid-Summer Night’s Dream,”—the “Lily-Whites,” the Klux and the Tulsa massacres. These are all part of a well defined program thought out by trained masters of destruction— backed by all the money and power necessary to “(gain their point.” What are we going to do about it? That's the big question. ‘There is no foot of American soil free from its benighting influence; nor is their any American, with Afriean blood in his veins, in any corner of the land that might be designated “remote,” nor is he too “dark” or too “light” to be 1 vietim of the abuses. These are patent and have been proved by East St. Louis, Washington, Chicago, Oma- ha and other localities. There was hope for better days in the breasts of all Colored Americans when there was, last fall, by their universal help, a great political vie- tory, and Warren G. Harding was made President. But the Republican party has sidestepped, backstepped and stumbled, Many prominent lead- ers of the party have thoroughly dis- appointed their Colored constituents; while others have been passive, if not indifferent, and still others, sad to relate, have aided and abetted the enemy. ie President “Harding has chanted “Hymns of Hope,” but in the light of events, these are proving to be as “a sounding brass and tinkling cymbal.” “Faith is the ‘substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen,” but the President, much as we admire his stalwart Americanism, is keenly and bitterly disappointing his Colored American constituents. It is not believed that he is doing it “with malice aforethought,” but as he “sees the light.” The unfortunate observa- tion follows, therfore, that he sees the light as held up by the hands of the enemies of human justice, and not by those who would be fair to all. ‘The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Mr. Taft, a former President of the United States, is unquestion- ably a close advisor of the President on racial subjects, and every citizen knows that Mr. Taft’s racial judg- ments and theories heve most dis- ‘tressing limitations. May we not face ‘the truth and declare: The President, ‘Mr. Taft, and a number of well known ‘members of congress share similar views on matters regarding colored American opportunities and progress, and the views of all these citizens are | not circumscribed by party ties, either Democrat or Republican, but are for- mulated solely and definitely on the basis of color. That is the trath, and if, as a group, we accept this truth as fundamental, ‘there will be an-op- portunity to adopt a program of ae- tion. ‘There are Democrats who abhor hu- man injustice based on Color; and there are Republicans who tolerate it, and others who encourage {t. Theze- fore, the Colored people of America naust look to themselevs for deliver- ance; must themselves shape a pro- gram of adjustment. In shaping such a program, there must be no selfishness or hypocrisy; there must be no mere whining nor compromising leadership. If there até leaders who ne he race, they must be discarded; if there are kead- ers who are inefficient in such @ time, they must give way to ua leadership that will measure up to ‘ ‘oceasion. The future of the people, and the destiny of the children of the Race is too great a stake to be handled A Request Ye Theatre Goers ( Ye Lovelorn Give ’Em A Trial _ OLD LOG CABIN SWEETS | Unsurpassed for their Purity and Excellence “Taffy Nut Cakes Bon Bons Fudges Garamels Chocolates f a ae FACTORY AND STORE: 2033 K ST., N.W.

There- fore, business and professional men and laborers and farmers, and all classes of individuals should feel the urge of responsibility in this CRISIS, Quite naturally, and quite signifi- cantly, there are movements of all kinds springing up at this very hour, seeking to be the salvation of the Race. Sonie of these movements are good, some questionable, but fortu- nately, the public has the opportunity of keeping so well informed through the newspapers, that no unworthy movement ‘can go far wrong and es- cape the attention of the press.

DUDLEY'S SHOW AT THE HOWARD NEXT WEEK S. H. Dudley, the pioneer Negro producer and promoter will offer his "Frolics of 1921" at the Howard Theater, week of September 12. From what we can learn, the show is now playing in Pennsylvania and Virginia, meeting with much success as do all of Dudley's attractions, for he seems to know just what kind of entertainment the public wants. In the "Frolics of 1921" Dudley offers a novel entertainment, Vaudeville, Musical Comedy, Novelties, Drama and Jazz. Out of this variety there must be some features to please each person attending the show. We love to see Manager Thomas put in the Dudley attractions as it shows unity—with such men as Dudley, Murray Brothers and Andrew Thomas working in harmony. It is the duty of all lovers of theatrical entertainments to turn out and see the "Frolicns" as Mr. Dudley has done a creditable part in keeping amusements alive in Washington. In order to get a good seat one should order tickets early, as we learn the admission is within the reach of all, 25 and 50 cents. Let's all welcome Old Dud's Show, and give him a gala week. Remember he is here September 12. Enough said. FORAKER PRESENTS FINE BILL "Money Sam From Alabama," is the title of the clever miniature musical comedy that is offered by the Foraker management this week, and during the entire week, the audiences have been of the capacity variety. All through the show, there are many bright lines, catchy songs and plenty of peppery dancing. The opening number, "The Ragtime Steppers' Ball," got away to a good start and put the show in motion and placed the audience in a receptive mood to receive what followed. Jules McGarr, a versatile showman, in the straight spot, put over some real classy bunk and Gallie De Gaston and "Cat" Johnson handled the comedy situations to perfection. These two fellows are real laugh-getters and kept the audience convulsed. The "Somnambulist Crap Game," and the "East Indian" skits were very pleasingly done and offered an excellent opportunity to note the versatility of some of the principals of the show. The show includes Misses Lillian Thornton, Viola Hawkins, Mercedes Morquez, Gladys Robinson, Ruth Trent, Lillie Yuen and Johnnie May Berry. Mr. S. S. Miller is the musical director. Next week. Yes, Labor Day was a real scorcher, but nobody semed to care. Silver sheet devotees from all sections of the city, irrespective of the humidity, began wending their way to the several movie houses early in the evening. Clara Kimball Young, popular screen star, in "Charge It," a wonderful production, in which the star portrayed four distinct parts, was directly responsible for the vast throngs that repeatedly filled the Dunbar to its capacity and caused the formation of several lengthy lines of eager movie fans, that extended far out T Street, nearly up to Sixth Street. "Charge It" will be shown at the Foraker Theatre, at a later date to accommodate those, who were not fortunate enough to gain admission to the Dunbar on Labor Day. "Wild Goose" was the attraction at the Howard, and notwithstanding this picture played to two capacity houses on Sunday the Supper Show and the evening show of Labor Day again taxed the house to its capacity. The Howard Supper Shows have again become the rendezvous of the discriminating picture fans and the management is to be congratulated upon the various revisions of policies that have effected the present successful boost in the patronage. One notable improvement is the conspicuous absence of the "rail birds" roost. Manager Vincent Thomas informs the writer that he has many rare treats in store for his patrons. Watch these columns for announcements from time to time. At the Hiawatha Theatre, a special holiday program was presented and it was necessary to run several extra shows to accommodate many who had waited to see this great holiday program. A notable increase in the patronage has been observed here by the writer during the past several weeks, due possibly to the introduction of several features by Manager Raymond Mur- ray. The two large poster boards that have been erected on the front add much to the general appearance. Next week's attractions will be found elsewhere in these columns. "JAZZ BALL IN CHINATOWN" AND "THE DEVIL'S GARDEN BALL" On Labor Day Night the Murray Casino was the scene of one of the most gorgeous affairs that has been seen here for some time. The presentation of a "Jazz Ball in Chinatown," with electrical effects and lavish decorations, by the "Orientals," of which Messrs. J. H. Matthews and G. H. Tucker are directors, was a wellattended holiday attraction. The hall has a capacity reputed to be about 1200, but the attendance undoubtedly exceeded this number by at least 200—some mob, that's all. The writer was only able to make an estimate by observing the vast throng of wriggling masses from an elevated point of vantage. The renowned Jazzeolas of Atlantic City and Elmer Snowden's Five Aces battled for musical supremacy for several hours. Nothing like it has ever before been witnessed, said "Cholly" Lee, the Casino constable. The Stenographers, at Convention Hall, presented a novel attraction which they termed, "The Devil's Garden," and notwithstanding the intense heat, fully 2500 followers of Old Man Jazz pranced away 'till the wee hours. This Labor Day Night frolic was staged and capably handled by Messrs. Frank Jones, of Pleasure Seekers fame and Alonzo Collins, the acknowledged master-promoter of super-special attractions. At the midnight hour, "His Satanic Majesty," The Devil and his imps appeared in the garden and immediately began the distribution of several thousand favors; but owing to the over anxiety of the large crowds to secure some of the noise-makers and other paraphernalia, the improvised rostrum, on which the garden was erected, collapsed, but no one was hurt. This incident did not lessen the merriment of the merry-makers and perfect order was again restored immediately. The inimitable "Doc" Perry and Snowden's Five Aces were in attendance. Mrs. E. C. Barnett, mother of Miss Desdemona Barnett, the efficient manager of the Dudley booking offices, is spending a delightful vacation in New York City and Rochester. She expects to leave for a trip to Cuba later. SPORTS AND BASEBALL PANAMA JOE GANS BADLY DEFEATED In New Jersey, Labor Day, Panama Joe Gans was badly defeated in a Marathon contest which had been advertised as a fight. Mc Tigue completely outclassed Joe after the first round of the fight, which was stopped in the sixth, by the referee to caution Gans. The bout went the full distance, with Mc Tigue winning. Joe still retains his belt as the colored champion as he was not knocked out. TIGERS WIN DOUBLE HEADER The LeDroit Tigers defeated the Piedmont A. C. in a double-header Labor Day, scores 5 to 1 and 8 to 1. The pitching of Bunny Jefferson for the Tigers in the first game was very brilliant; the Piedmonts were unable to solve his dazzling speed and curves—striking out 12 men and allowing 5 scattered hits. His support was superb. Score 5 to 1. Big Harrison Adams, pitching for the Tigers in the second game, was very near invincible; having gloomy weather in his favor. He struck out 8 men and allowed 3 hits. His support was also good. Score 8 to 1. The LeDroit Tigers of this city will journey over to Baltimore Sunday to cross bats with the fast Baltimore Black Sox. The Tigers are among the fastest of the local teams in this section and they are determined to push the Baltimoreans to the limit. A hard fought game is promised. If the Tigers can register a win over the Black Sox, their stock in the coming city series will be boosted sky high. GIANTS AND SHAMOCKS TO PLAY SUNDAY The Washington Giants will hook up with the Shamrocks, at the Union League Park, 15th and H Sts. N. E., next Sunday. The Shamrocks are the winners in section B in the white city championship series. On the Giants are some of the best players in the city and a fast game is assured the fans.

WILLIAMS CLIFFORD AND MISS RHETTA WILSON MARRY AT ATLANTIC CITY One of the surprises of the east was sprung when Lieut. J. Williams Clifford and Miss Rhetta Wilson were quietly married in St. James Episcopal Church, Atlantic City, N. J., September 6, 1921, at high noon. This event was the culmination of a romance of eighteen months and while it was a surprise to have had it happen so suddenly yet many of their friends thought that it would come off at some time. Mr. Clifford's father and brother attended the ceremony and also Miss Alphonso Mays of Washington and THE MUSICIAN LIEUT. J. WILLIAMS CLIFFORD Mrs. Willie Thomas of Atlantic City. After the ceremony they immediately left for Philadelphia where they stopped at the Dale Hotel.

Many of Jay's Philadelphia friends called on him at the Dale Hotel and that evening entertained him and his bride with a dinner party and dance.

WASHINGTON GIANTS AND DEANWOOD A. C. DIVIDE DOUBLE HEADER The Washington Giants and Deanwood A. C. Divided a double header at Union League Park last Monday Deanwood took the first game by a ten to nine score. Reulac, starting for the Deanwood team, was not in the same form as when last starting against the Giants. He retired the Giants in order in the first; he walked "Fish" Barbour to open the second; Lewis laid a perfect bunt down the third base line, Greenfield sacrificed, Harris singled, scoring Barbour; Lewis stealing second and scoring on Ruelac's wild pitch and Hensen's single. Hensen was thrown out at third on Faxio's single. The Giants scored three more runs in the third and sixth which was the last of Ruelac. Green opening the seventh allowed only two hits and no runs. While he was holding the giants, his teammates were hitting Taylor and aided by errors by Greenfield and Dandridge, scored four runs, enough to gain. The giants had a walk away in the second game, taking it by a twelve tothree score. Jefferson pitching for the Giants allowed only nine hits all of which were singles. Posey of the Deanwood lasted four innings while "Lefty" Brooks who relieved him did not last an inning. Green the Deanwood "iron" man relieved Brooks and allowed only 2 hits and 1 run in 5 ins. During both games the sky was overcast which caused a very unusual incident, in the fourth inning of the first game. With two out and Ruelac on third, T. Barbour on second and Bush on first, the sun came from behind the clouds and stayed out until Faxio had lost Shaw and Taylor's flies in the sun, scoring the base runners with what later proved to be the winning runs. The sun then went behind the clouds and did not shine again during either game. # First Game Wash. Giants— Ab. H. PO. A. Faxio, lf & 1b 5 1 3 2 L.

"Hear the trombone sounding! Hear the drummer pounding! Poom, bah! Poom, bah! Red his cheeks with tooting, While the flater's fluting, Poom, bah, boom!" "The sweetest music is not in the oratorio, but in the human voice; when it speaks from its life—tones of tenderness, truth or courage." "Do not neglect your music. It will be a boon companion which will sweeten many hours of your life." "Of all the liberal arts, music has the greatest influence over the emotions, and is that art to which the lawmaker should give great attention." "Technic in reality is activity of will-power, or rather intellectual activity—the muscles merely supplying the executive factors." "Remember that there are only three 'troubles' in music—'Ear,' 'Eye' and 'Touch.' Be on the lookout for these." "The elements of orchestration are those of painting. The composition, per se, represents the design; melody, the outline, harmony, the light and shade, and instrumentation the coloring."

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1921 the thoracic breathing system; the second advised the abdominal breathing; the third had him hold a wedge of wood in his mouth while singing; the fourth called for the overtone method; the fifth proved that there are no registers in the voice; the sixth had him memorize the names of the small muscles of the throat and tongue; the seventh had him 'focus' the tone dentally; the eighth told him the tone must be sucked as if through a straw; and the ninth was the ancestor of 'voice on the breath.'" "Then William Shakespeare went home and wrote, "METHINKS THERE is some 'METHOD' IN THIS MADNESS." Truth indeed! Genius and Talent "Genius sails on an ocean of fancy, In a gondola dazzling bright: Talent buffets the obstacle river, In a boat neither empty nor light. Genius breathes the sublime inspiration; Talent strives with an earnest heart. The one is a slave to emotion, The other a master of art. "Genius is often found begging, Then talent throws open the door And provides for this helpless erratic From his own and bountiful store. "Once or twice in a century's passing, It occurs as the records unroll That the Spirits of genius and talent Are found to abide in one soul. "It is then the Angels in Heaven Fold their wings and silently wait To share in the pleasures of mortals In their efforts to honor the great. "For with genius to blaze a new path- way And talent to steady his flight, What wonder that Angels are silent And mortals aflame with delight." Pullman Porter Tips T. L. Brown formerly on A. C.

The many thousands of seekers for homes in Vienna have organized to get them.

They have published a list of such places and demand they be handed over. Among them is the home of a baroness having ten rooms in which she lives alone.

It matter not if you lost the fight and were badly beaten, too; It matters not if you failed outright It matters not if your plans were foiled and your hopes have fallen thru; It matters not if your chance was spoiled for the gain almost in view; It matters not if you missed the goal, tho you struggled brave and true— But what are you doing now? It matters not if your fortune's gone and your fame has withered, too; It matters not if a cruel world's scorn be directed straight at you; It matters not if the worst has come and your dreams have not come true— But what are you doing NOW? What Business Is—Its Aim "Business" is a term applied rather vaguely to trading and manufacturing occupations as distinguished from the arts and professions. For a definition of business we would say that any occupation in which men, at the risk of loss, seek to make money by producing commodities for sale, or by buying and selling commodities, or by hiring the services of others for utilization at a profit; is business. This is a broad term and takes in the farmer as well as the manufacturer; the bookkeeper, the cashier, the salesman as well as the department managers and proprietors. Profits are the goal of all business. The struggle for profit which we call business has been a tremendous force in the development of human capacity for the advancement of civilization. Therefore, money and prices have become important factors in the commercial world. Since business men must figure their profits in money and cannot make a profit unless they sell at a price higher than they bought, it is evident that the forces which control the purchasing power of money must not be ignored by the wide awake business man. The wants of all the lower animals are limited in number, and when they are gratified the animal is ready for rest and sleep. But man is insatiable. As his power over nature grows or as his wealth increases, his wants multiply. A poor farmer was asked what he was working for. "Salt pork and sandown," was his reply. He wanted the day to end that he might get something to eat and go to bed. If that farmer should inherit a fortune and move to New York, it does not require a prophet to tell what would happen to his taste for salt pork and his desire for sundown. There are three great classes of business: the production and sale of goods; the purchase and sale of commodities; and the purchase and sale of service. Money is the tangible reward of successful business, but money is not everything that is worth while in business. There are thousands of potential merchants as capable as the brilliant Marshall Field or A. T. Stewart conducting successful businesses in the small towns and cities of this country. To judge wisely therefore of a man's success in business, we must be able to answer the questions: First, has he accomplished what he himself set out to do? Second, has the column of his business been as large as was warranted by its location? Third has its management been so sound that profits have been as large as could reasonably be expected? The correct answer to these questions determines the successful business man. There are numberless opportunities for our men to enter business of various lines in every city in this country. We have not begun to measure up to the many openings that are ours for the effort of establishing a place. Make a little survey in your own neighborhood, and you will soon find there are several lines of commerce that are really inviting your attention. More than a million dollars will be spent by our group for fuel here this winter. How much are we selling? TEXAS STARTS KLAN INVESTI GATION (By the Associated Negro Press) San Antonio, Texas.—Special Judge W. W. Walling in Forty-fifth district court last Monday charged a special grand jury to investigate the Ku Klux Klan and cited State laws which he said made it a felony for two or more persons to conspire to do harm to any one. ALEXANDRIA, VA., NEWS (By C. Leslie Frazier) Miss Gladys Brooks died in New York city last Friday and her body was brought here for burial. She formerly resided at 507 Franklin Street. Funeral services were held at St. Joseph's Catholic Church Monday morning at 10 o'clock. Miss Fannie Davis will return to her duties as teacher in Cape May, N. J., tomorrow. Mrs. Irrie Rector who has been confined to her bed for two or three weeks is able to be about her duties at her home 601 Gibbon Street. Mrs. Lottie Simmons Nickens of 412 S. Royal Street is slowly recovering from her illness. We take pride to note here that Mr. Norman Jackson whose recent accomplishments in the field of invention was mentioned in last week's Tribune is an Alexandrian, although at present making his home in Washington. Leslie's Scouts have been turned over to the management of Mr. Majors. Madden's Midgets are to be converted into Leslie's Scouts, club No. 2, under the management of the Scouts organizer. Lawyer Collins and family have returned from their vacation to the mountains. A Community Carnival will be held in the Methodist Community Building all of next week under the auspices of the Community Auxiliary. Alexandria has formerly boasted of one well stocked grocery owned by Mr. Frederick Bentley on N. Patrick Street. Mr. Pringle has now opened a store at 500 Gibbon Street. He is well stocked with canned goods, green groceries, and meats. This store is in the heart of a colored settlement and if the prices at this store prove to be those of the present market we see no reason for this much needed enterprise failing. Mrs. Emma Doss, 510 N. Columbus St., returned last week from a month's vacation in northern Virginia. Miss Leslie Gilbert of Leesburgh, Va., is visiting Miss Esther Gray, 1019 Oronoco Street. Mr. Frank Brown, formerly of this city spent the week end visiting his brother, Mr. James Brown. Rev. James H. Marshall, pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church and residing in Washington, started his 30 days vacation this week. Ground has been broken to build a Catholic parsonage next to St. Joseph Catholic church on N. Columbus St. "Saul" to be Rendered at the Opera House in Alexandria Alexandria, Va.—"Saul, King of Israel" a sacred cantata will be rendered at the opera House, Wednesday night, September 21. This cantata will demonstrate the dramatic ability of Alexandria's leading singers as some of the best talent will be used to carry out the beautiful theme of this spectacular play. Seventy-five voices will be used. The leading parts are taken by Mr. Coulter Willis as "Saul"; Mr. Russell Hackley, "David"; Mrs. Isabelle Majors, "Michel"; Mrs. David Brandon, "Abigale"; Mr. Harvey Smith, "Jonathan." Mr. C. E. X.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE, OUT OF TOWN $2.00 PER YEAR BUSS eee ae a cope rage aie ee a NEW YORK WORLD EXPOSES KU KLUX KLAN Undoubtedly the most significant, far-reaching, effective and outstanding accomplishment in journalism this year, is the exposure of William Joseph Simmons and his Ku Klux Klan, now running in The New York World and the seventeen other papers associated with The World in its signal service to the country in general and colored people in particular, by turning the white light of publicity on the most damnable and dangerous organization that has ever existed under the Stars and Stripes. The World began the articles Tuesday of this week and they have proved a revelation, not only to the 2,000,000 read- ers of the eighteen papers printing the expose, but to the officials of the Administration as well. The Ku Klux Klan claims a membership of 650,000 and has entered 45 of the 48 states in the union. ‘A former officer of the Klan publishes a denunciation of it in which he says: “T therefore denounce said remaining portions of said oath as illegal and detrimental to the fundamental principles which underlie the entire legal structure of this country. I further decline, any longer, to keep secret any part or parts of your scheme, to establish in free America, an Invisible Empire, fraudulent in its conception, vicious in its nature, political in its objects, and subject to the will of a self-constituted Em- peror who seeks to exploit the American people for his own personal aggrandizement.” Some of the reasons why so little has been done by officials of the law toward checking this sinister monster of savage rapine and terror, are brought out in this paragraph of Capt. Fry’s letter denouncing the Imperial Wizard, the order and his connection therewith. He writes: “Everywhere the promoters of your scheme have gone, they have sought to enlist as ‘citizens’ the white, Gentile, Protestant public officials, especially those having in charge the enforcement of the law. “Aside from vicious politics, and in view of the fact that your oath is an accessory before the fact to mob violence, this tampering and meddling with the law-enforcing machinery of the country—under the alleged plea of ‘law and order’— is a direct blow at the entire legal machinery of the United States, a condition, that in its nature, approaches anarchy.” Not only have they sought to enlist the local and state officials as members but the Klan has bragged of obtaining the membership of the Attorney General of the United States, and that the Department of Justice had given the Klan “a clean legal bill of health.” Capt. Fry continues: “At a time when peaceful relations are existing between the white and black races you are dis- rupting the industrial conditions of the South by your anti- Negro propaganda and causing a state of unrest that can result only in dangerous and mischievious consequences.” He cor- rectly concludes: “There can be no place in America for ‘an Invisible Empire’ of hate and venom.” ' The World is to be congratulated for its courage in attack- ing this hydra-headed monster of the “Invisible Empire” and complimented for the telling service that it is rendering the whole United States in this complete, and we hope, effective exposure. NATIONAL GATHERINGS—AGAIN Elsewhere in this issue we are publishing a letter from a reader which takes issue with us concerning our editorial of last week under the caption “National Meetings a Menace.” Our correspondent should have noted that our criticisths were aimed at meetings that were chiefly “fraternal and social.” The main paragraph—the fundamental statement— was this: The colored people’s condition in this country is dependent far more upon an organized economic pro- . gram than upon these annual meetings of fraternal and social organizations. And based on the above statemént and the elaboration thereof we asked this final question: Which would help to solve our problems and bring impartial justice sooner: the establishing of 300 new business enterprises each year with a capital of $10,000 each, or the continuation of these “annual meetings” resulting in the squandering of these op- portunities? It should be noted that the question is—as indeed are the questions that confront us in most practical matters—a question of relativity. Speaking of relativity—Einstein has shown that matters presumably so fixed and absolute as Time and Space are in reality matters of relativity. But to return to the question at issue; it may be re-stated thus: Can we as a race—or a group, if you please—at our present stage of development (or lack of development) afford : to spend—we might say squander—such huge sums for such purposes? It is the same question which forever confronted father as the family sought to “keep up with the Joneses.” Even if group solidarity is a fundamental requirement just now, it seems a long way round to get it by spending millions on these annual- national “splurges,” one of the outstanding features of which is that each crowd seems to try to outdo the other in reckless spending for show and glitter. If race solidarity is: sought, why foster and finance so many really rival, competing organizations?—and the number of such or- ganizations multiplies continually, and alarmingly. _, 7 If the matter were not so serious, it would really be amusing to observe that our correspondent seeks to justify the squan- dering of practically alJ of our meagre means and neglecting THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, | SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1921 E T WoL i ourmest pressing needs because other ra de atte: | etablishedeconomically-and swith no obstacles'in their way @x-” : "| Cept'thoge oftheir ‘ownhiaking or those inherent in nature— Ine. squande? ‘a ‘modicim® of ‘their surplus. 7 i Permit us now to ask another question.

LETTERS TO EDITOR September 7, 1921. The Editor, The Washington Tribune; ‘My Dear Sir: Please give space in your paper for the following: As I read your main editorial, “Na- tional Meetings a Menace,” published September 3, 1921, it is with much regret that I find that you condemn national meetings among the Negro as a menace to our social and eco- nomic welfare. Group solidarity and group consciousness are among the most outstanding and fundamental re- quisites needed by the Negro. These factors ednnot be effectively acquired by correspondence or any means other than by national meetings properly conducted. It is true that in many of our na- tional meetings, polities, graft and chicanery run rampant. These evils are not inherent in the meetings, but are only incidental thereto and can be eradicated without abolishing such important assembles. Even if such evils can not be eradicated, national meetings among the Negro should “carry-on,” notwithstanding. Where can there be found more graft, chican- ery and politics than in the National Political Conventions in the United States? What happened at Versailles when the nations of the world as- sembled to draw up the treaty of peace with Germany? The world knows that practically every nation engaged in trickery, bribery, and bar- ter on a world-wide scale. The com- ing disarmament conference will not be removed from such malpractices. In the face of these evils, the progress of the economic and social order of nations and the world is advanced by these meetings and our present civili- zation stamps perpetual approval on them, ‘Your editorial points to the few mil- lions of dollars that our people spend in national meetings and suggests that this money be spent in building houses and. establishing businesses. The | spending of the little sum of a few millions of dollars ean not be con- sidered in comparison with the bene- fit derived by our group assemblies representing millions of our people. National meetings indicate organiza- tion, the strongest instrumentality by which we can claim a place in the af- fairs of a progressive civilization. ‘The Negro is living among compet- ing races who use polities, graft and chieanery and spend millions and bil- lions of dollars in national meetings. These competitors rule the world and rule the Negro too. The Negro must learn to do things as other races do them,.and he must get away from the old methods which have so utterly failed due to lack of organization. Never will we abolish national meet- ings, but, on the other hand, we will make them better and bring more of them into being. OSCAR C.

This decision grew out of the case of Miss Genevieve Marsh, who was appointed to grade work at the Mc- Kinley Manual Training School but did high school work. She asked for the additional salary and the court upheld the request which affected every teabher in the district doing other than the work assigned.
