The Washington Tribune All the News That's Fit to Print VOL. I. No. 19 ROSCOE BRUCE ACCEPTSJOB IN WEST VIRGINIA The Tribune has been assured that Prof. Roscoe C. Bruce formerly assistant superintendent of colored schools here, has accepted a position as rural supervisor of schools in and around Huntington, W. Va., at a salary of $3,000 per annum. It was rumored at one time that Prof. Bruce would be appointed principal of Dunbar High School, and it is alleged that three prominent men called a conference recently, with a certain school official and used all their power to force this official to use his influence in having Mr. Bruce appointed to Dunbar. This official refused point blank to acquiesce in their demands, which thwarted their plans and they were informed that Mr. Bruce could not secure a berth in the city school system. For fifteen years Prof. Bruce held the position of assistant superintendent in charge of colored schools. In the spring of 1919 an unfortunate circumstance developed known as the "Moen's Case" which involved Prof. Bruce and the Parents League waged an incessant and relentless fight against Mr. Bruce which resulted in his taking "an indefinite leave of absence" from his position as assistant superintendent, on September First. It is probable that Mr. Bruce will become a member of the faculty of one of the State Institutions. G. U. O. OF O. F. ELECT OFFICERS Marcelus Davis, of J. Mc C. Crummill Lodge No. 1437; was elected District Grand Master of the Odd Fellows Wednesday night at the close of the District Grand Lodge. Other officers elected were James A.

TULSA, Okla., Sept. 8—More than a thousand men were initiated into the Ku Klux Klan here at midnight Wednesday. A reporter for a local paper was taken to the scene blindfolded and then permitted to watch the affair. "Tell the folks we are here," he was instructed. SOUP KITCHENS PLANNED TO AID CHICAGO JOBLESS Chicago—Plans for the establishment of soup kitchens throughout the city this winter for the unemployed were presented yesterday to Mayor William Hale Thompson. According to recent reports more than 100,000 persons are idle, the number having shown a slight decrease during the past month. Unemployment is blamed by the police for recent increases in crime, the number of prisoners in the county jail now being the largest in its history. The famous "Pollyanna Case" came up before Judge Manning, Thursday morning but owing to the absence of Miss Carrie Johnson the case was continued. The court room was crowded to its capacity with eager, anxious and curious spectators. TWO MEN LAND ON PILOT RICHMOND—L. C. Singleton and J. P. Amos, of Vontay, Hanover county, escaped serious injury and probably death when a northbound passenger train struck their wagon and threw them onto the cowcatcher of the locomotive, where they stuck until the engine was brought to a stop fifty feet down the track. The accident occurred at the junction of Seventh and Hospital streets. The wagon was demolished, one horse killed and a mule so badly injured that it was necessary to kill it. Published Weekly HOLD-UP MAN BLACKS FACE BUT FAILS TO CHANGE VOICE White Highwayman makes bold attempt to hold up N. E. Grocer and wife "Give me your money," was the command that greeted Mr. and Mrs. Wm. P. Edmonds as they left their store at 44th and Edson Place, N. E., Wednesday night. Mr. Edmonds did not obey however, but gave the money to his wife and told her to go on to the house, which was only 75 feet away, while he stood his ground and forced the would-be hold-up man to repeat the command. The man was behind a bush and could not be seen by Mr. Edmonds, but he recognized the voice of a young white man by the name of Hall. Mr. Edmonds being unarmed, started for the house to get his gun and was fired on by the man from behind the bush, the second shot taking effect in his right hip. He proceeded into the house, secured his gun and returned the fire but without effect. The police were notified, and Mr. Edmonds told them that he did not see the man but recognized the voice as that of Robert Hall, a white man. On going to Hall's house, they found him and the pistol recently fired, and it developed that Hall had masked by blacking his face to deceive his would be victim and have him say that a colored man held him up. It was fortunate for Mr. Edmonds that he did not see the man. The arrest of Hall may prove the answer to the question of who did several other robberies that have recently been committed in this section. Hall gave his age as nineteen, but people of the community who know him allege that he is older than that and that he put his age back because he is a draft dodger and wants to appear as a minor. At the police station Hall is alleged to have confessed to the crime and his bail was fixed at $3,000 which he was unable to give. VETERANS' ASSOCIATION TO MEET The National Memorial Association will hold a get-together meeting at Lincoln Temple corner of 11th and R Streets, N.W., Wednesday, September 21st at 8 P.M. This meeting will present a formal request to the Trustees of Howard University for the granting of a site upon the university grounds for the erection of the proposed Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Building and to make arrangements for the celebration of Armistice Day, Nov. 11th. The Attucks Musical Club will furnish a program for the evening. All ex-service men and the public are invited to attend the meeting. LANLADY SEIZES TWO BABIES FOR UNPAID BOARD HUNTINGTON, W. Va.—A Landlady who seized and held for two weeks two small babies to compel payment of a board bill was forced to surrender her unusual collateral when the case was brought to the attention of the police. Boarders at the home of the woman were unable to pay their bill when they left. Instead of grabbing the family wash or the usual much-fought over luggage, the two babies were seized. After two weeks, in which she vainly attempted to recover her two babies, the frantic mother finally appealed to the police. Advertise in the Tribune CHILDREN OF TOMMY LINCOLN PARTY GROWING STRONG LINCOLN PARTY GROWING STRONG (By the Associated Negro Press) Louisville, Ky., Sept. 12.—The very devil is to pay in this biggest city on the south shore of the Ohio river. The Colored brethren are about to wash their hands clean of Republican party dust for the express and most particular purpose of setting up a party of their own making—The Lincoln Independent party. William Warley, who turned loose an Ed. Lewis strangle hold on a city job, is the leader of the movement which bids fair to revolutionize the politics throughout the entire State of Kentucky. Warley is the editor of the Louisville News and a good two-handed fighter when it comes to putting up a scrap for the rights of the race. His paper has been calling the attention of the Republican leaders to the mistake they have been guilty of making in their undisguised endeavors to shelve the Colored vote. "They would not see the handwriting on the wall," says Warley, "and therefore there was nothing for us to do but turn on the current and make it stand out clear and bright." A convention of the new party will be held on the 21st of September. On this date it is proposed to put a full city ticket in the field. J. B. Cooper the well known Colored undertaker is slated to be the candidate for Mayor. In addition a big effort is to be made in the 51st, 57th and 58th legislative districts to elect candidates to the legislature. The 38th Senatorial District is also regarded a good fighting ground in which to select a member to the State Senate. Two or three men are also regarded possible of election as Magistrates and constables. The new party numbers among its most active members Dr. Noah Williams, one of Louisville's noted Colored physicians; I. Willis Cole, editor of the Louisville Leader; Wilson Lovett, President of the First Standard Bank; the Rev. H. W. Jones, pastor of the Green St. Bapt. Church, the Rev. W. P. Offut and the Rev. John Williams, leading Baptist ministers. Walter Rodgers, Alexander Morns, Mrs. Lillie Simmons, Mrs. Nolan King and a host of men and women, intensely interested in racial uplift. In the opinion of the leaders of the movement in this city, there is a strong likelihood that it will spread nation wide. Already Virginia and Maryland have signified an intention to join hands with the rebels in Kentucky and it is expected that New Jersey and Tennessee will follow in their wake. A ten thousand vote is expected for the Lincoln Independent Party ticket in this city. Read THE TRIBUNE OUR PRIDE OF TOMORROW DR. CROSSLAND OPENS OFFICE Dr. J. R. Crossland of St. Joseph, Mo., returned to Washington this week, a month ahead of his expected time, and opened his office on the Seventh floor of the War Risk Building on Vermont Ave. Upon opening office here, Dr. Crossland, who was appointed Special Expert and assigned to the Colored soldiers' claims, was much embarrassed as to his quarters. His first day, he was given half a desk occupied by Major Dean. The next day, he was assigned space in the south wing on the west side of the War Risk Building, on the seventh floor. In providing this office for Dr. Crossland, the Superintendent of the building placed a solid row of steel filing cabinets about 5 feet high between his section and that of the other part of the office, so that when you are sitting in Dr. Crossland's part, you cannot see or be seen by any one else. In this improvised office, Dr. Crossland has one oak table, one typewriter desk, and about six chairs. A large eight foot screen hides the Doctor from the curious seekers who may peep in at door 701. When two Tribune reporters called on Dr. Crossland, they found him very busy; people were waiting to see him and his clerk was busy opening a large pile of letters, many of which were complaints of soldiers and sailors who were in dire need of immediate help. Dr. Crossland has the marks of much refinement, and the appearance of a gentleman. He is easy at conversation and a diplomat in the use of words. His speech is soft and easy, and his manners pleasant. During his interview, he assured the reporters that he was anxious to serve his race and that he would see that they received their just compensation. He asks that he be given chance to make good. He is now preparing his program, which he hopes to release to the press soon. When asked about his unsightly quarters, he said: "We will soon move to our regular quarters, which will be large and spacious." He hopes to have this completed within a month. MORE PEONAGE FOUND IN GEORGIA MORE PEONAGE FOUND IN GEORGIA (By the Associated Negro Press) Savannah, Ga., Sept. 12.—Three Jenkins County farmers, Allen Hooks, Lester Hooks and Rema Hart, are held for the federal court here on a charge of peonage, their bonds being fixed at $3,000 each. They are charged with holding in peonage three Colored persons, Bishop Harmon, William Darby and wife. The peons declare that their masters put ropes around their necks and threatened them. PERRY HOWARD MOVES OFFICE AND GETS DOWN TO REAL WORK Special Assistant has claims against Government totaling When the Hon. Perry W. Howard, of Jackson, Miss., was appointed Special Assistant to the Attorney General and given an office in the build-of the Department of Justice, information was given out that he was to look after fraudulent claims of Colored people against the Government. To ascertain just the nature of Mr. Howard's work, a reporter of The Tribune called at his office on the 8th floor of the Department of Justice Building. He found that Mr. Howard's office was a small, dingy place with very little furniture in it. Mr. Howard, however, was not in, so another visit was made later in an effort to see Mr. Howard at work but again he was out. After waiting a month or more, the reporter again returned to Mr. Howard's office and found that the former quarters had been vacated and that the office of the Special Assistant was now in a large airy room on the 8th floor with plenty of space and office help. Upon asking Mr. Howard the nature of his work, he replied: "This whole floor is given over to the claim department with about thirty lawyers busy all the time with the thousands of claims that have grown out of the war. Our office is handling only railroad claims. We have about seventy-five claims here for the coming term of the U. S. Court of Claims. This court is a higher court than the District Courts and will convene October 1st and run ten months. These claims range in amounts from $300 to $1,000,000 dollars. I don't think any colored people own railroads do they?" Mr. Howard asked The Tribune representative. The Tribune was informed by Mr. Howard, that the total value of the claims already in his office would reach a billion dollars. This means an enormous amount of work to brief all of these claims, which will run into dozens and even hundreds of pages. Mr. Howard has as his stenographer and assistant, Capt. Mellenger, formerly chief clerk to Dr. Emmett J. Scott, at Howard University and a graduate of the Howard Law School this year. Mr. Howard spoke in a complimentary manner of Capt. Mellenger's efficiency and said that he was indeed proud to have him associated with him in the work. By way of comparison, it is pointed Circulation Books Open To All PRICE 5 CENTS PROF. SMITH APPOINTED AS PRINCIPAL OF DUNBAR HIGH Other Doings of the Board Prof. Walter L. Smith, teacher of Mathematics at Dunbar High, was elected Principal of that school at the Board meeting Thursday the 15th, to fill the place vacated by Prof. Garnet C. Wilkinson when he accepted the position of assistant superintendent of public schools. There has been a number of candidates for the position. Among those mentioned for the place were Prof. G. David Houston, teacher of English at Dunbar; Prof. N. E. Weatherless, teacher of Science at Dunbar; and Dr. Dwight L. Holmes, of Howard University. Prof. Smith came in as a dark horse at the meeting of the School Board, Thursday, for the first time. Prof. Smith graduated at Howard University in 1902. For three years he taught at his Alma Mater; coming to the public schools in the fall of 1905, where he has rendered consistent and valuable service for the past sixteen years. This is a distinct promotion for Prof. Smith and one that meets the approval of the parents of the Dunbar students and the people of Washington as well. He will assume his duties at once. The resignation of F. W. Hough, teacher of Class 6a at Miner Normal, who was suspended last October, without pay, was accepted to take effect from and after June 30, 1921. The School Board announced Thursday that a lot comprising 32,000 square feet had been secured for additional ground at the Deanwood school. The rates for non-resident students in the District schools were reported Thursday as follows: For the Normal schools, $286.43; for Secondary schools, $88.73; Vocational students will pay $59.35; Special students $48.86; Elementary students, $38.84; Night school students will pay $5.42 and night vocational students, $2.65. The term which begins Monday the 19th, is divided into four periods of 44 days for the first two and 46 days days for the last two periods. The term will end June 21, 1922. HERNIA AND RUPTURE EXPERT OPENS OFFICE There are new fields in both the commercial and professional lines to be entered by colored men and women. This week The Tribune presents a new line in the professional field. Ben. A. Murphy, Hernia-Rupture specialist M. T., recently opened offices at 1732 14th street northwest, where he is prepared to do expert fitting in made to measure abdominal supports, shoulder braces, spinal and leg braces and trusses. This is truly something new for our group and Dr. Murphy has prepared himself just for this particular service. He graduated under Dr. J. Wilson, famous surgeon and Herniaologist of Cleveland, Ohio. He was the only colored student in a class of twenty-five. He graduated with high honors and received his diploma as a speciaist in mechanical treatment and care of all forms of abdominal Hernia or rupture. He has a well furnished office, with a lady attendant. Dr. Murphy is a Washingtonian and the only Hernia specialist of color in the District of Columbia, if not in the United States. out that the Hon. William H. Lewis, when he was Assistant Attorney General, handled about six claims during his entire term of office. Unlike many other men who are working in the Government service here, Mr. Howard has enough work to keep him busy. He says he is unalterably opposed to the spread of segregation in the government departments. 2 PERFECT DIME-NOVEL HERO Thomas Stukely Peer of Any of the Adventurers Who Flourished Under Good Queen Bess. A career so lurid and impregnated with a dime novel atmosphere has scarcely ever been seen outside the covers of the penny dreadfuls as fell to the lot of Thomas Stukely as it ran the gamut from matrimony to piracy, interspersed with dashing, gallant and fearless bravery which has caused his name to be remembered when many a better man has sunk to oblivion. Stukely was an adventurer by nature. His mother was Irish and of a very good family, and it is said that he could claim as his father Henry VIII of England. Stukely acquired a great fortune by marrying a lady of wealth and proceeded immediately to spend it with the greatest dispatch. Sir Walter Scott says that gallant ruffled it with Raleigh and the best of them at the court of Queen Elizabeth. His first chimerical scheme was to found a kingdom for himself in Florida. Then he went to Ireland and gained considerable influence over Shane O'Neill, the most powerful of the native cheftains, helping him to gain a decisive battle. Stukely never gave up his career as a merchant and still retained ships which, under the gulse of peaceful traders, committed infamous piracies. On being discovered he went to Spain as a grande and thence to Rome. At the great naval battle of Lepanto he commanded one of the papal ships.—Chicago Journal. WAVES OF GIGANTIC HEIGHT Thousands of Tons of Water Not Infrequently Poured Upon Decks of Ocean Vessels. Even in stormy weather the average height of waves in mid-ocean does not as a rule exceed 30 or 40 feet. Sometimes, however, one enormous wave makes its appearance amidst the rest. Why this should happen no one can say. All we know is that a mighty mass of water rushes suddenly toward a ship at the appalling speed of over 100 miles an hour. If the ship can meet such a wave with her bows she will ride over it, though thousands of tons of water may sweep over her decks. But if the wave is following her and rushes at her from the stern, she may fall to rise. Many a good ship has gone to her doom in this way. These vast mountains of water rise sometimes to a height of more than a hundred feet—as high as the spire of a church. They have been known to extinguish the mast-head lights of sailing ships. Sometimes on a perfectly calm day there will be a sudden troubling of the surface of the sea, and without the slightest warning a wave 150 feet high will appear. Plant Societies. It appears that the knowledge of botany has been greatly advanced by the development of what may be called the sociology of plants, that is, the study of their relations to one another, as well as their adjustments to surroundings. Botanists recognize that plants are not scattered haphazard over the globe, but are organized into definite communities. A pond has its plant society, all the members of which fall into their proper places. A swamp-forest consists of trees possessing a certain social relationship, and differing from those that form a forest on dry land. There is progression from one social organization of plants to another. A lily-pond may give place to a swamp-moor, this to a society of swamp shrubs, and this again, to a swamp-forest of tamarack pine and hemlock. So societies of plants on dry lands succeed one another as the conditions change. Cause of Volcanic Explosions Volcanic explosions are commonly regarded as the release of stores of energy kept confined by external pressure, and boiled explosions and geyser eruptions are typical of this class of outbreaks. An expert of the United States geophysical laboratory finds that another class of explosions, that of explosive mixtures like gunpowder, are not likely to occur in volcanoes. But a third class, that of explosive compounds brought into contact with oxygen or water, is more probably the usual source of volcanic explosions, and is illustrated by aluminum sesquioxide — finely divided — brought into such relation with water in the electric furnace that mechanical detonation causes violent explosion. The dust of Mont Pelee may have been analogous to the aluminum sesquioxide. The Indians' "Pipe of Peace." The calumet, the "pipe of peace" of the American Indians, was used on all ceremonial occasions, but especially when treaties of peace were being ratified. Each warrior took a solemn puff from the pipe as it was passed around the circle. Native tobacco, with which willow bark or sumac leaves were mixed, was smoked. The bowl of the pipe was made of white stone in the East and Southeast. In the West it was made of a red clay obtained from the famous pipestone quarry of Minnesota, mentioned in Longfellow's "Hiawatha." The pipe had a very long stem, made sometimes of wood, sometimes of reed. Feathers, porcupine quills and women's hair were used as decorations on the stem. The name "calumet" originated with the French Canadians. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1921 The SANDMAN STORY THE LYNCH EVIL SUNMAN HELPS WIND. ONE night the Wind and the Rain met in a field and such a quarrel as they began at once. "Get out of my way," said the Rain, "or I will drench you until you cannot move." "Ha, ha," laughed the Wind. "I guess you do not know to whom you are speaking. Why, I can drive you before me and send you where I like." This made the Rain very angry and down it came faster and heavier than ever to show how powerful it could be, but the Wind only blew harder and drove the Rain against the trees IT WAS THEN THAT THE WIND BEGAN. and bushes until they lay flat upon the ground and the Rain stood in little pools. Then across the field the Wind drove it until it struck the big farm buildings and ran in great tears down the sides, splashing upon the ground. But though the Wind blew and drove the Rain as it bragged it could, the Rain in little rivers and pools called out that it would show its power in a short time by making floods which would rise high and cover the land. It was then that the Wind began Peanut Pietro by KAYEM GRIER FOR leetle while lasa week I tink mebbe I am gonna losa da leeber- ty for longa time. I almost been een da jail again one day.

How It Started THE FINGER PRINT SYSTEM. THE British authorities in India, desiring to impress the natives with their omniscience, hit upon the idea of taking the finger prints of everybody. Later the scheme was brought to Scotland Yard, the police headquarters in London. From there it spread till it is now in universal use. A Long Wait Father (as he starts to carve)—"By the way, my dear, I've got to attend a bankers' dinner tomorrow. They expect over a hundred. Tommy—"Gee! I'd hate to be the youngest where there's that many to be helped." to think it must end the quarrel and in some way that would stop the Rain, for though it knew the Rain could never overpower it, the Rain did not, and in trying to show its strength it would do great harm. And then it was, too, that the Wind discovered that it could not do this alone, in spite of its bragging and being able to drive the Rain before it. As soon as the Wind stopped blowing and began to think, the Rain came down faster and faster and the pools grew into little ponds, for now it was sure it had overpowered the Wind and was master of everything. But this was not true, for over the tree tops and over the hills and mountains went the Wind, running swiftly toward the east, for there it knew was Mr. Sunman, and he could always make everything right. "Oh, Mr. Sunman," called the Wind, "wake up quickly and get up. There is something terrible happening," and then it told Mr. Sunman all about it, taking its part of the blame. It was very hard for Mr. Sunman to get up that morning for the Rain had thrown thick blankets of clouds over him while he slept, but with the help of the Wind he at last threw them off and up he' got and away they ran. Up higher and higher they went, and in a short time away went the Rain and even the ponds and little rivers and pools were soon taken care of, and all that remained of the dreadful quarrel were the tears of rain dropping from the leaves. The Wind carefully ran among the trees and helped Mr. Sunman dry them, and by and by all was well in the land, and now the Wind always goes over the hill and mountain tops early in the morning to awaken Mr. Sunman and sometimes if you listen you can hear the sound of its heavy breathing as it runs. (Copyright.) How It Started THE first breech-loading rifle, or rather, gun, belonged to Henry VIII of England, who had a matchlock of that type. Henry IV of France invented one for his army, but it was not successful. The breech-loading type languished till the Civil war, which began with muzzle-loaders and ended with breech-loaders, proving again that necessity is the mother of invention. Mother's Epistle.

By MILDRED MARSHALL Facts about your name; its history; meaning; whence it was derived; significance; your lucky day and lucky jewel. REBECCA OF GOOD old Biblical stock is Rebecca, which is translated "noosed cord." It is said to come from the Hebrew word rabak—at least that was the origin of the first Rebecca, a name which seems to have been coined especially to be bestowed upon the wife of Isaac, of Biblical fame. The Rebeccas of the world should make excellent wives, since the word Ribka, a later rendition of rabak, which means a cord with a noose, is given to convey the firmness of the marriage cord. The Septuagint and the Latin both give evidence of the name Rebecca in very early times. Another version, said to be the authorized one, makes her Rebekah. This latter form seems to be the one affected today by every young miss who is called by the name of the good old Biblical heroine. Despite the religious significance which history has given to the name, Rebecca has been a great favorite with writers, who have employed her in more or less frivolous romances. Two Rebeccas who will never be forgotten by present-day readers are the "Becky" Sharp of Thackeray's immortal "Vanity Fair," and the charmingly quiet little "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm," which is endeared to the hearts of American admirers of Kate Douglas Wiggin. The bloodstone is Rebecca's talismanic gem. It has the power to guard its wearer from all dangers and preserve her bodily health, and secure her consideration and respect. Moreover, it is said to guard her from deception, especially of her lover. Sunday is her lucky day and six her lucky number. The violet, signifying modesty, is her flower. THE LYNCHING EVIL WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY Not Sectional; National Philadelphia Public Ledger. A correspondent calls attention to the fact that in Wise county, Va. a few days ago a white man was sent to the penitentiary for three years on the charge that he assisted in lynching a Negro who had confessed to attacking an aged white woman. The correspondent rightly thinks that it will do the North good to know about this incident, and says: "It shows that there is at least one section of the South which will not tolerate mob violence, even when the victim is a Negro." It will do the North good to know what the South is doing to end lynching, and it will do the South good to know that the North no longer is so firm-set in its conviction that the crime of lynching is a sectional one. Both North and South should know of every move toward ending this peculiarly American crime. The action of the Virginia jury is praiseworthy, even unusual, but it is not unique. The South is beginning to fight Judge Lynch, and the North needs to begin to fight him. It is just as well for both sections to take note of two recent incidents. The other day 26 members of a Kentucky mob, bent on hanging a Negro, were wounded in an attack upon a jail. On that same day, while the Kentucky sheriff was scattering a mob with gunfire, a Massachusetts sheriff was battling to save three Negroes from a mob. If we keep our balance, we will remember that this thing is not sectional. Massachusetts knows it and Ohio, Illinois, Missouri and Nebraska have witnessed it. The South is blackened by the vast majority of American lynchings, but Judge Lynch has held court many, many times in the North, West and middle West. Lynching has become a national rather than a sectional evil. Its roots go deep but deep as they go, they can be damned and blighted by the spirit of justice and the spirit of law. Laws to be enforced must come from the will of the people, and it is the will of the people that must be reached, awakened and tempered. THE MOB SPIRIT AND THE LAW Scranton Republican Recent dispatches from various parts of the United States indicate an increasing tendency to resort to mob law for the purpose of wreaking summary vengeance on a prisoner, who is either awaiting trial or under sentence of death for some serious crime. This manifestation of a lawless spirit is not confined to any special section of the country. It has asserted itself of late in communities long noted for the law-abiding character of their people, and it is therefore all the more to be reprehended. One of the latest instances is reported from an old-fashioned Massachusetts town where the authorities were compelled to resort to extraordinary precautions to prevent a mob from breaking jail and lynching three culprits charged with grave crimes. In the Massachusetts case the prisoners were in jail awaiting trial, and it was safe to assume that the courts would deal with them according to their deserts. But the impatient mob wanted vengeance, not justice, and was eager to subordinate the ordinary processes of civilization to its own primitive and savage notions of right. It can not be too emphatically asserted that this is a land of law and order and that there can be no toleration of the mob spirit under any pretext, or whatever may be the provocation. Justice is, and must continue to be, supreme in this land of liberty regulated by law.

Holmes of Howard University. Talk fests on the campus and "around the rock" led by Lawyer W. C. McCard of Baltimore were veritable Round Table discussions. Zest was given to the life of the hotel by the many week end parties coming by train and motor cars. So successful were the devotees of Isaak Walton in their endeavors that the kitchen resembled a fish mart after each day's catch. The championship would be a close contest between Rev. Jas. Willis, Mr. R. P. Hamlin, Prof. Holmes and Mr. Clyde McDuffie. When the river was "muddy," quoits, tennis and croquet claimed the attention. Each guest upon departing expressed the great pleasure enjoyed during the season and many were desirous of making reservations for themselves and friends for another year. GILPIN RECEIVES MEDAL (By the Associated Negro Press) New York City, Sept. 7.—Major Joel Spingarn, personally presented to Chas. S. Gilpin, the actor who achieved fame during the past season in "The Emperor Jones," the Spingarn medal. For eight years, Mr. Spingarn has donated this medal and it has been presented to the Negro accredited by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, to the Negro who during the year, has made the greatest contribution to art and science. The presentation has usually been a feature of the national convention of the organization. This year Mr. Gilpin's illness obliged deferring the actual presentation till a later date. The announcement of its bestowal was given to the press at the time of the convention. In honor of the occasion, The Dressing Room Club of which Gilpin is a member, and which includes several hundred of the more prominent Negro actors, artists, writers and kindred professionals, made it a day of celebration. well known Scotch costumes, the very oddity of which makes a great stunt. Later, the club presented a vaudeville show and dance. The parade covered about thirty-five blocks of Harlem, the section of the city in which most of the members of the club reside. Leon Williams, the screen artist acted as Marshall. Leo Whipper, Movie director and one time drum major, attracted much attention along the route as he demonstrated that he had not forgotten his minstrel days. Announcement DR. CHAS. S.

THE PERISCOPE THE "DAY" OF GENESIS "And the evening and the morning were the first day."—But if creation was done in seven days, what was the relative length of such a "day?" Recent investigations of the astronomers might serve as a good Bible commentary. There are DAYS in this universe that are 100,000 years long, as a year is measured upon the earth. From edge to edge of the universe of worlds seems to be a distance of about one million "light years,"—that is, it takes light one million years to cross the universe, altho light travels at the rate of 186,000 miles in a second. When we say that it takes light, which is swifter than lightning, one million years to cross the universe, we state in words a distance which man can represent in symbols on paper, but which the human mind cannot grasp in any sort of concept. Our power to conceive is limited to the small experiences of this little world, the earth. On the outer edges of this universe are great worlds which turn on axes, as does the earth,—but while a point one mile from the center of such a world may move as slow or even more slowly than does a point in the earth one mile from its centre, yet a point on the surface, say on the equator, of such a great world must move at an inconceivable rate. Some of these spinning worlds are so large that a point on the surface may come around to the same position in space only once in every 50,000 or even 100,000 years. While the surface of such orbs moves at such tremendous speed, points as near their center as the earth's surface is to its center, must move inconceivably slow. One turn constitutes a day, so that a day on the giant world may be 100,000 years (earth years.) Verily, a day is a hundred thousand years, and a hundred thousand years is a day. "O, why should the spirit of mortal be proud?" (By Wm. Pickens the Associated Nerro Press) Of course, the United States Government must insist upon law and order in West Virginia, at any price,—for any other price is cheaper than the price of law and order. "War" made by any faction must be put down. But that is not all. Since Federal troops must be called to put down rebellion, after the rebellion is put down it will be the duty of the general government to thoroughly investigate the causes of the trouble, and to see that the wrong things are readjusted to right so that the trouble may not recur. It would be a sad mistake for the Federal government to merely go in and stop the miners and re-subject them to the state and the mine operators, and then wash its hands and step out. For that would say to the miners: "All government and the army are on the side of the mine operators, your enemies. The national government is one of your enemies, and your most dangerous enemy. For as long as the mine owners, your little enemy, can get the better of you, they will be left to handle you; but as soon as ever you seem to be about to get the upper hand in the struggle, then the all-powerful government will take the place of the mine owners and crush you." This would create more Bolshevism than a thousand agents of Lenin could ever stir up. And a democracy like ours, which is already used to mobocracy, holds greater terrors in lawlessness than any European nationality. If this country ever turns "red," it will make Russia look pale blue. All who love American civilization, should insist that the general government act out the whole role of impartial mediator, and after restoring order, see that justice is done and wrongs righted. The simplest mind of the simplest miner knows that the same power which is strong enough to put down their wrong-doing, can also put down the wrong-doing of the mine operators and their hired thugs, if the power wants to do so. And the mind of the miner will be watching to see if that is done. If it is not done, the simplest minds will reach the plain and inevitable conclusion that government is but the ally, or worse still the reserve power, of the wealthy oppressor. For example, all those "guards" and arrest officers clothed in the power of the state and bearing arms, should be under the absolute control of the state government and not under the pay and therefore in the control of the mine owners. Hirelings will serve their master, and neither the general community nor the miners can ever get a square deal from the hirelings of the mine operators. The mine property should be taxed sufficiently to pay the costs of policing it, but the police power and the THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1921 policeman should be under the control of the state and the general community; as the great property of the cities is protected. But a police force in the hands of corporations or of individuals, a police force hired by one party to a contract, is a force of thugs. How would the mine owners fare if the policemen were all in the pay of the miners' unions? Such officers cannot be impartial. The Federal Government goes into West Virginia much as the dean of a college goes into a classroom when the teacher reports a general insurrection of her pupils and the temporary collapse of her authority and influence. The first thing, of course, is not the righting of wrongs and the measuring out of justice but the restoration of order. But after order was restored, it would be a poor dean that would drop the matter there. Any government that would drop the matter at that point would be a poor government. When the United States army steps in, it is no longer an affair merely of West Virginia authorities, but of the whole nation—of every single state—for every single state is back of the government of the nation. It is therefore the duty and the obligation of the whole nation to see that the right thing is done in West Virginia.

MD., NOTES Miss Viola Anderson returned home on last Friday from a visit to her cousin in Norfolk, Va., when she reported having a very delightful time. Dr. and Mrs. Hughes and their daughter Helen, who were visiting at the home of Mrs. Hughes' brother, Mr. King of Buena Vista, returned to their home in Richmond, Va. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Holland were the Sunday guests of Mrs. Isaiah T. Hatton on a motor trip to Woodlawn, Va., where they attended the dedication of a new Odd Fellows' Hall. Mrs. Herman P.

She will remain after the Convention as the guest of Miss Katherine V. Bryan and Mrs. Martha Brewington. The School opened in Buena Vista on Monday with a good enrollment of pupils. Miss Payne the new teacher, was on hand to receive her pupils and begin the fall term. We ask for her the support of both pupil and parents that she may be able to render to her school the best service. The Community Club held their regular monthly meeting in the School house on last Tuesday. The entire evening was taken up with the discussion of the new school building we are planning to erect on a new and more desirable site. We are deserving the hearty co-operation of the members and friends of the community to help us push this matter on to success. The County has promised five thousand dollars. We need that and more. Next meeting first Tuesday in October at the School House. THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS RACE PRESS COMMENT The colored press over the country is alive to the fact that the school term is upon us and have written encouragaing articles and editorials on the importance of sending the children to school. The Pittsburgh American says: "Keep your children in school." "Parents, the place for your child is in school. No task is too great, no sacrifice too great for you to make to help them there. It is your sacred duty to give them every advantage of education that your means will allow. Keep ever before them the serious problems of life that await them in the vast School of Life. Enthuse them with the thot of preparing to meet the issues of the future. Your son, your daughter has an important place to fill in the world and unless you see to it now that they are preparing themselves, perpetual shame will rest upon your head." The Baltimore Afro-American says: "Fill the Schools." "It is true that colored teachers in the counties are paid less than the whites and the schools are poorer equipped, but that should not stop anyone from taking advantage of the opportunities offered. The colored schools of Baltimore City offer about the same advantages that those for whites offer and parents should realize that the best they can give their children is an education. Proscribed as the race is, all of its young boys and girls need adequate educational preparation to fight the uneven battles of life." The Chicago Defender says: "This is an age when brain not brawn counts. A man with a grammar school education can not hope to compete with a college bred man. True we hear of the self-made man, the comparatively ignorant man piling up the proverbial barrel of money, but that is a poor way of measuring success. "Too much censure cannot be placed on mothers and fathers who permit their children to leave school after they have passed the grammar grades. At this point their most intensive studies should begin. At this point the boy and girl need guideposts that may not turn into any of the bypass along life's road. To listen to the plaint of youth that they are tired of school and want to get out into the world, and help support the family, is criminal. To keep them out of school because they cannot be dressed as well as some of their classmates is selling their future for a mess of pottage." "Back to School," says the Pittsburgh Courier. "It is no small place which the school room holds in our national development. Common-place as they may appear in the minds of the average adult, they, nevertheless, hold together the warp and woof which must be woven into the durable fabric out of which our future men and women are to be made. Lest it be forgotten, the American school room must be kept abreast with the times. Competency must be insisted upon; regulation must be demanded; and above all, an unstinted devotion to the plastic minds must be forever required of all who undertake to teach our young." "Every Agency Should Urge Children to Attend School," says the Dallas (Tex.) Express. "We, more than others need to stimulate a greater interest among our children in attending school. "It is to their advantage that they learn. Ignorance now is a crime not only of the individual against himself, but against the group of which he is a member. "Non attendance of school by our children now lays the foundation for their lack of success later. "Men and women who are ignorant must of necessity follow the dictates and do the bidding of those better trained. "Urge all parents to see that their children go to school. It opens September 19th." With a population of 125,000 colored people, Chicago had less than 100 high school graduates last June. Washington had 167 high school graduates last June. New York City opened her schools Monday, with 100,000 pupils more than there are seats in all of her schools. This vast number would require about 900 more teachers. Tuskegee, Ala. Sept. 14—Tuskegee Institute opened here yesterday with an enrollment of 2,000. The student body has been pouring in for the past ten days. From reports that are coming in from various schools, there will be an unprecedented enrollment in all the schools throughout the country this fall. Howard University will doubtless have the largest enrollment in the history of the University. WAUKEGAN, Ill.—Patrons of Joseph Miltimore, iceman are hoping he will raise a Rooseveltian family. When a ten-pound son arrived at his home he made each patron a gift of 100 pounds of ice. BIRTH TO FOUR CALVES Gothenburg, Neb.—A cow belonging to Mr. and Mrs. George Butterbaugh is believed to have broken all records when she gave birth to four female calves in eleven months. The calves are marked alike and each weighs thirty-two pounds. Butterbaugh says if the calves live, it is possible that he will hire the cow and her offspring to a big circus for a couple of seasons.

Amusements (By Quentin) While wandering around the other day I happened upon a unique amusement place operated by George Nelson and wife. It was a penny arcade located in Southwest near third and F Sts. now in its fourth year and has been highly successful as the present location was secured as their former one became too small. You will find Mrs Nelson on the job through the day as Mr. Nelson is employed by the Pullman Company. A New Colored Production A New Colored Production The colored shows are apparently coming into their own with two shows already on Broadway, now comes another, "Ebony Nights," that is having its opening in New Jersey this week and destined for the "Gay White Way" if successful. Believe me with this line up it ought to equal any comedy in New York. The book is by Edith Ellis and Henry Creamer, the lyrics by Creamer and Turner Layton. The former Lafayette Players have the principal roles, among them will be found Laura Bowman, Evelyn Preer, Bessie Allison, Mary Bradford, Margaret Lee, Henrietta Loveless, Consuelo Miller, Edna Lewis, Maud Russell, Ora Johnson, Henry Creamer, Turner Layton, Dink Stewart, Sydney Kirkpatrick, Edward Thompson, A. B. DeComathiere, W. Robinson and J. Grevy The Chorus: Misses E. Shepard, M. Posey, S. Taylor, B. Mahood, A. Capes, A. Allison, E. Ross, M. Tippett, M. Yancy, B. Shepard, M. Moore, Katherine Boyer, N. Anderson, Helen Mitchell, Helen Dunmore, Lina Dukes, and Savina Sampson; Messrs. F. Sapiro, F. Robinson, Irving Hughes, P. Colson, A. Cross, C. Norwood, and W. Shepard. This production is under the management of the Acme Producing Company. The operating staff is composed of Joseph Jordan, musical director; Wm. Tyler, first violin; W. A. Cook, stage manager and J. Grey, assistant stage manager. The show is two acts and three scenes. $50,000,000 Film Firm Formed A $50,000,000 moving picture merger for producing films took place in Chicago last week. The Associated First National and the Associated Producers Company merged to eliminate the distributor, it was announced. The first National pictures have had their first runs here at the Dunbar Theatre at the corner of 7th and T Streets. The Emperor Jones Mr. Charles S. Gilpin the eminent actor is creating as much of a sensation in Chicago as he did in New York last season in his portrayal of the character, "Brutus Jones," in the play "Emperor Jones." He opened to a crowded house, keeping his audience spellbound by his great work. The play is mostly monologue, which causes Mr. Gilpin to apepar on the stage almost continuously. "Brutus Jones," an ex-Pullman porter, and later a convict, escapes to an island in the West Indies, after having killed the prison guard. After landing on the island he becomes ruler of the people, claiming immunity from death except by a silver bullet which he carries in a revolver loaded with five ordinary ones. Because of his severe axation, the natives rebelled, forcing "Brutus" to flee. In attempting to reach the coast he plunges into a deep forest where he loses his way in the darkness. He constantly hears the beating of tom-toms which play upon his nerves until he imagines them to be the spirits of prison-guards. He fires at them with leaden bullets, finally firing the silver one at an alligator which the witch doctor had conjured up for his destruction. The tom toms tones are speeding up and the "emperor" finds that he has been walking in a circle, returning to where he started, only to find a hundred silver bullets awaiting him that had been molded by the natives during his wanderings. Mr. Gilpin runs the gamut in denoting terror, from the beginning where he is supremely confident of his immunity, until the end when he is cringing before his assassins. The Stage and the Screen The Stage and the Screen (By Jay Bee) "FROLICS OF 1921" AT THE HOWARD MAKES HIT The "Frolics of 1921," Mr. S. H. Dudley's big musical revue, which includes a little bit of everything from jazz to grand opera and then some; made its first appearance here this week at the Howard and immediately received the approval of an enthusiastic audience. Mr. Dudley, attired in evening dress (quite a surprise to many, who had expected to see him in make-up) in what many of us thought was a presentation speech, but which later developed into a real snappy monologue, was at his best and got away nicely with a clever line of extemporaneous pattern, in which he referred to the utter impossibility of any one, be he ever so grouchy, going away dissatisfied. The show was one big concoction of everything from tears to convulsive hilarity. There was no intermission, because, as Mr. Dudley explained to be original and to prevent chronic kickers from meeting in the lobby and panning the show, he thought that he would monopolize the intermission period before the show began and he did it and got away with it nicely. The Lankford Jazzers, clever musicians, were warmly received and were recalled several times to please the "blues" worshippers." Barringer and Berringer, excellent clarinet and saxophone artists, played their way into the hearts of admirers and won repeated aplause. The Lankford-White Players in "Gladys Morgan's Revenge," a sketch in one act, one scene, furnished a pleasant diversion, in which Ed. Lankford and Gonzell White and two other capable persons, gave an excellent example of their dramatic capabilities. Boots Hope, "King of Liars" a favorite here and everywhere, as usual, lied and lied and until the orchestra began vamping his song numbers or parody numbers, to be correct. This bird's monologue of his experience in a song shop was a scream and his distorted hyperboles were the subjects of many conversations heard while making my exit. Will Lacey, clever cyclist, amused immensely with his antics on cycles of one and two wheels. He performed many difficult feats and seemed to be perfectly at home on either one of his trick cycles. One of the best novelties seen here for some time. The Gibson Trio, featuring "Baby Corrine," a cute tot of six years, in a number of songs and clever dance numbers worked overtime in an effort to please. Ma and Pa Gibson are also clever entertainers. Baby Corrine will enter school this season. Allen and Stokes, both well-known here, closed the bill. It will be remembered that Arthur Allen is the same gent, who used to do the "Fool and the Fiddle" gag. He was also a team mate with Leroy Morton, another favorite here. Miss Stokes, a charming soubrette, has an excellent voice, which she handles exceptionally well and she easily won the favor of all by her very pleasing personality. By all means see this show. You can't go wrong. ORPHAN SCHOOL BAND IN THE CITY Rev D. J. Jenkins, president and founder of the Jenkins Orphanage Reform School and Rescue Home for Girls is in the city with his musical organization. The girls jubilee singers and the boy's band are appearing in the various churches and permission has been given them to play upon the streets and such places as will not interfere with the traffic of the city. They will spend ten nights in this city. Rev. Jenkins has been engaged in this work for the past thirty years. The mayor of Charleston, S. C., where the Orphanage is established, highly endorses Rev. Jenkins as do many of the city council, who act as an advisory body.

Primrose, Foster and Jefferson of the Tigers showed their liberality in the first game by virtually giving the Black Sox the lead. To start with, Jefferson, who was pitching for the Tigers, walked the first four men who faced him, forcing in a run and filling the bases. Adams went to his rescue with no out and retired the side in order. Up to the eighth inning, he allowed only seven scattered hits and two earned runs; in this frame Foster and Primrose blew up. Manager Thomas of the Black Sox sent Joe Wheeler, the former Tiger star in against his former teammates. He was hit hard, but the support of his teammates, coupled with the errors of the Tigers, saved him. The game ended 6 to 3 in favor of the Sox.

WILLS AND JOHNSON: It has been learned on good author- ity that Montreal promoters are try- ing to bring Jackson and Harry Wills together sometime in October. ‘The match is hanging fire just now ot account of the large guarantee de. manded by Johnson who insists on $125,000 for his part; but judging by conditions in this country I think friend Jack will have to be satisfied with a smaller portion, Wills, who it is rumored has signed an agreement to fight in Cuba in the near“future, has not been approached as the Canadian match but as he has expressed his willingness to fight any- body, there should be little difficulty in arranging the scrap. Jack Johnson and party, spent sev, eral days in Chicago last week, He expects to return east soon. RULING OF THE N. Y. FIGHT COMMISSION It seems like the real reason for barring fighters over the age of 38 from appearing in contests, was aim- ed principally at Jack Johnson as there is nq other logical cause since some of the best fighters of the past have often engaged in combat after having passed that mark, For in- stance, I might mention among/others, the famous “Harlem Coffee Cooler,” who was still flattening ther out around his fortieth year and also there was George Godfrey who lots of the “old boys” will remember, fought Kilrain forty-four rounds when he was thirty-eight and Kilrain was thirty-two. I could recall any number of white pugilists who were still in the game when they had reached the limit set by the com- mission, What Kind? C. P.

C. 6 (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Sept. 7—The "fall drive of the Ku Klux Klan" in northern states is on in earnest. The remarkable development of sentiment caused by the drive will ever remain one of the most interesting features of American history. Grand Wizard Simmons, of Atlanta, has busied himself with placing advertisements in leading daily newspapers, and by other means, stirring up the populace, seeking to inflict his nefarious organization on various communities. Among the startling disclosures are the following, the Republican Chicago Tribune came out editorially endorsing the organization while the Democratic Mayor of New York, the Democratic Mayor of Louisville, Ky., have protested strongly against the Klux getting a foothold in their community. Democratic Senator Glass, of Virginia, issued most far reaching statement against the formation of the Klux in Virginia, while the Republican Congressman Slemp, and member of the Republican National Committee, has remained painfully silent. The Republican Governor of Wisconsin and the Republican Mayor of Cleveland, Ohio, have stated that they will do nothing against the Klux unless it commits some "overt act." The United States Senate, the House of Representatives, overwhelmingly Republican, have been silent, while the Democratic legislature of Texas has been busy denouncing the Klux and all those connected with it. "The Knights of the Kerosene Kan are keeping their lamps trimmed and burning," said one citizen recently, and while we are not going about looking for trouble, God knows we are not going to run away from it if it comes up to us." BIG HOTEL FOR ATLANTIC BIG HOTEL FOR ATLANTIC The largest and finest hotel in the world, owned, operated and controlled by colored people for the accommodation of guests of that race will be realized when Atlantic City's first modern hostelry, on N. Indiana Avenue, just off of Atlantic, is completed. For the Hotel Fitzgerald will be the first attempt in this country of people of the colored race to provide for the accommodation of the large traveling health and pleasure seeking public among them, a modern hotel. With a tower rising fourteen stories above the ground and with wings seven stories high, spreading out to Indiana. Avenue like giant arms of welcome, the hotel will provide all the ease, comfort and luxury of a city hotel, while at the same time possessing all the quietness and elegance of a resort hostelry. When completed the hotel will provide two hundred bedrooms, all with baths and many en suite. Telephone connections in every room will be a feature of the hotel, while the lobby and exchange, the deck above the cafe and the solarium will provide ample public space for the guests' accommodation. Besides, there will be a spacious banquet and ball room on the seventh floor, which will be used for holding small conventions and as an assembly hall; ladies' parlors and writing rooms, a pool and billiard room, cafe and grille, beauty parlor, barber shop and every convenience found in the best hotels in the country. There will also be artesian wells to supply the water for the hotel. The architects' drawing is now on exhibition at Bourne's Pharmacy, plans having been prepared by McLanahan and Bencker, of Philadelphia, well known in this resort because of the fact that they planned the Hotel Blenheim, the Traymore and the M. E. Blatt Co. building. There are 650,000 people of the colored race within five hours' ride on the railroads from Atlantic City, living in the cities between New York and Washington inclusive, and these with the large number in other cities in New England, New York State, Pennsylvania and Maryland, form a field from which to draw patrons of which any hotel would be proud. The number of colored visitors who came here each year, estimated 100,000, the conventions of the race, and the demand that has been made for years, make such a hotel a necessity and with the proper kind of management assures for the project success. The men behind this project are well-known in the resort in the business and professional life, and Mr. B. G. Fitzgerald, the president, has built up such a reputation at his cafe and auditorium that Fitzgerald's cafe is known nationally wherever colored people know Atlantic City. Associated with Mr. Fitzgerald as officers and directors are the following local men: Chas. Johnson, Dr. W. E. Braswell, Dr. St. Elmo Davenport, Dr. James THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1921 BATTLE OVER ABYSSINIAN THRONE EXPECTED SOON Word had just reached America from representatives of the America Museum of Natural History, of New York City that trouble is now brewing in Abyssinia, the only independent Negro country on the east coast of Africa. The history of this broad and fertile country, dates back to Biblical times. It was supposed that the Queen of Sheba came up to visit King Solomon from this country, where she lived and ruled. At one time the eastern border extended to the Red sea, but in a war with the Italians, the entire strip bordering on this sea was taken from Abyssinia. The country comprises an area about as large as the states of Texas and Oklahoma, with a population of about 8,000,000 nearly all Christians. Sets Date for Battle Referring to the recent troubles there and their customs, a recent writer says: "Their fighting custom is to agree to meet at a given time and place and let the contending armies have it out. They fire one round with rifles and then use knives. When one side or the other is victorious the dead are buried, the wounded disposed of in some manner and then everybody goes home quite satisfied." "Since the death of King Menelik, the throne has been jointly occupied by Queen Waizeru Zauditu, daughter of the late Emperor Menelik, and Prince Ras Taffari Makonnen, a son of a brother-in-law to Menelik. Neither sign any documents, but the royal seals are put on to attest their mutual consent. The throne was occupied for a time in 1916 by Prince Lijasso, who appears to be a jolly fellow. Prince is Defeated "But he got in trouble by catering to his Mohammedan subjects on the Red sea. The Coptic Christians, who form the majority of the people, and who are said by some to be the lost tribes of Israel, objected and a battle was fought, wherein the prince was defeated. He escaped to the Dunkali lowlands and nothing was heard from him until the end of 1920. Lately he has been making headway in the highlands, where two tribes declared for him, and now he is marching in the Tigerian country. "The Abyssinians are the only wholly independent people in Africa and they let you know it. Since they defeated the Italians in the nineties, they have gone around with their heads in the air. Anybody who has killed a white man enjoys special honors. The country is rich in possibilities, but they don't wish to have it exploited by any one." ASK POLICE TO HELP PROVE HE IS NOT KU KLUX KLAN MEMBER CHICAGO, Ill.—Being a member of the Ku Klux Klan may have some advantages, but when you begin to receive threats, etc., the alleged advantages are not so much after all. Ever since Col. Simmons discovered that the 92,000,000 whites in America were about to be annihilated by the 12,000,000 peace loving Colored people, and started the modern version of the Ku Klux Klan, we have heard much about whites joining the Klan, but a man in Chicago has appealed to the police to help him tell the public that he does not belong to this notorious gang. Chas W. Love is his name and he claims he is sales manager for a brokerage house. Chas W. Love claims he is the victim of a hoax; because C. W. Love is "grand goblin of the Great Lakes Invisible Empire, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan," is no reason why he should be accused of being the man. The incident would probably have passed without notice were it not for the fact that the Colored population of Chicago has decided that the Klan would not be as welcome as the proverbal flowers in May if they had anything to say about it, and in Chicago, they usually have quite a bit to say. After the news had been flashed that C. W. Love was the grand goblin, the silent Knights of the Kerosene Kan began to station guards around the "grand goblin's" house. Becoming alarmed at their presence, the wrong Mr. Love, appealed to the police for protection. Several threats have been received by mail and telephone by Mr. Love. Postal inspectors were instructed to investigate. F. Bourne, R. M. Chase, Dr. A. B. Washington, F. D. Francis, Wm. S. Stafford and James A. Lightfoot, while many other leading citizens have associated themselves with the foregoing since the corporation started. The company hopes to be able to start building operations in the early fall.

Back your chance in life; you can't risk too much on that. If you are in earnest you can't lose. You are your own competitor and the only real one you have. If you always try to better your best, to improve something, somewhere every day of your life; to make every day a winner; you will reach the goal of your ambition. Bet on yourself and then your life will be a winner indeed. You Need Capital "Saving my first thousand dollars cost me the most work and worry," said Marshall Field, the Merchant Prince of Chicago, when asked by an acquaintance what particular achievement had cost him the most work. It is necessary to show that a man cannot start a business if he has no capital. Most people generally confuse capital with money yet the two are entirely different. Money is a mere medium of exchange, whereas capital is an instrument of production, or some form of wealth, such as wheat, cotton or wool, which by labor, can be converted into something more valuable. Just as the man cannot chop a tree down without an axe, the axe being capital to the wood-chopper, so a man cannot manufacture any article, even on a small scale, unless he has the necessary tools and raw material; nor can he start out as a small tradesman unless he has the stock of goods on his shelves. In other words, he must have capital. When you study the saving process, you will undertand why that first thousand dollars appeared in the memory of Marshall Field. It is much harder to save money in this country than it is to make it. The first difficulty in the business man's path—the necessity for capital, and for saving—is usually much underestimated by young men The great railroad builder, James J. Hill said: "If you want to know whether you are destined to be a success or a failure in life, you can easily find out. Are you able to save money? If not, drop out. You will lose. You may think not, but you will lose as sure as you live. The seed of success is not in you." At any rate, no man can get into business with his own capital unless it has been saved by himself or some of his ancestors. While a vast amount of business is done on borrowed capital, yet in almost all cases the burrowed dollar works side by side with a dollar belonging to the proprietor. In business we must learn that competition is in reality "the life of trade." Often a man or firm has a monopoly on a location, a certain article, or a given number of articles, and he becomes indifferent to his customers. Let a competitor enter the field and signs of life will soon be demonstrated. There is often unfair competition to meet, requiring large capital, much planning and close application to the business. The best sign of better conditions was the recent rise in the price of cotton from 1 to 22 cents per pound. That factor alone added $750,000,000 in new capital to the South, and as a result, the whole country felt the impetus: cotton mills in New England began running on full time; shoe factories are running about full time; railroads are increasing their tonnage, cutting down the idle car list perceptibly. The stock exchange has felt the demand and practically all stocks and bonds are on an upward trend. This country has the capital in raw material, in factories in which to convert into merchandise, in the labor with which to run the factories and in the money to both handle the raw products and pay off the labor. Then what is holding her back?

All was in readiness to give’ the star an overwhelming ovation, which he justly deserves, but a demonstra- tion of our high regard for his attain. ments in the dramatic world will be deferred indefinitely. We will wel- come the occasion which will make the demonstration possible. ‘The direct cause for the sudden cancellation of “Emperor Jones” is not known, but it is reported that the treatment in this city of one of Eu- gene O’Brien’s other plays, may be responsible for the decision that gave us the shocking blow. The show is booked for an indefinite run in Chi- cago. Just when we will have the pleas. ure of greeting Mr. Gilpin and his twelve or fourteen students and form- er students of Howard and Columbia Universities, who are so ably support- ing him in this production, is a mat- ter of conjecture. PUT AND TAKE DID NOT TAKE SAYS NEW YORK CRITIC If, according to Jack Lait, veteran critic of the “Variety,” Irvin C, Mil- ler’s “Put and Take” show did not have the goods; and if it was pre- sented in a truly amateurish manner, as he states in his review, we are most profundly sorry and deeply af- fected by such an account, because we had, with out making any exhaus- tive inquiries, classed the production along with the type of show, that “Shuffle Along” is reputed to be. The Washington public is ‘and has been long recognized as the real cen- sor board of shows. On more than one cecasion, has the writer heard some of the old-timers remark, “If you can ‘get by Washington, it’s peaches.” Several shows of recent years have been planned and have made their initial bows right at the Howard and it was there at that house that many shows which afterward became suc- cesses, obtained their first stamp of approval. After several weeks of earnest, work revising a line here and there or not- ing the more advantageous positions of different numbers and after playing to the several and distinct classes that make up Washington's popula- tion; these productions go down the ways, while the Washington public breaks the bottle of wine on their noses, saying, I christen thee, “Sue- cess.” We earnestly hope that the many reported short-comings of Mr. Mil- lers’s “Put and Take” will be soon eradicated and that by the time that the show hits Washington, we shall be glad to welcome it with open arms. Washington would have been delight- ed to have seen this show before it was shoved into the oven and “roasted.” Better luck next time. WELL-KNOWN MUSICIAN CON. FINED IN HOSPITAL Johnny Miller, chief projectionist o the Howard theatre for a number o! years and reputable trap drummer in former years, lies critically ill ir Freedmen’s Hospital. “Johnny,” by which name, he is 5 familiarly known, was at one time considered the best drummer in th city. He was connected with the fa. mots Thomas Brothers’ Columbiar orchestra. One of his most notable engagements is recalled when he was a member of the famous Ford Dab- ney theatre orchestra of which Will Carroll was director. He later joined the Howard Theatre orchestra during which time he became infatuated with the mechanism of the motion picture machine, of which he made an exhaustive study and up to the time of his illness, he was considered on¢ of the best operators in the city.

Misunder- standing and dissatisfaction is running rampant. All is not harmony by any means. The prospects of 1922 are looming up with diminishing prospects that would guarantee a return of a number of the Republican Congressmen. Congress was called in special session for two special jobs—taxation and tariff—neither of which has been accomplished. The Fordney Tax Bill does not meet with popular approval, either in or out of Congress. Representative Joseph D. Beck (Rep. Wis.) said on the floor of the house: "I believe there is more in the bill which should not become law than there is that should become law. Therefore, I shall have to vote against what little good there is in it in order to protest against the many provisions which cannot be justified by any sound principle of taxation that has been yet devised." It is evident that there is much dissatisfaction in the President's official family. Resignations have been offered and some are alleged to have been accepted. In the National Committee all is not well. The recent Virginia and Georgia Affairs have had telling effects with increasing dissatisfaction. There are 15,000,000 colored people in this country who are thoroly disgusted with the present administration and dissatisfied with the Republican party—the party that fails to keep its promises. Already they are gathering the nucleus for an independent party to help defeat many of the Republican Congressmen in 1922 and put this administration out of running in 1924. Many people are asking the question: Why did the President send Lincoln Johnson's name up for Recorder of Deeds, when he knew there were charges against him? Was it to discredit the whole race that he singled out Johnson as his first and only appointment in recognition of their loyalty to the Republican Party? Colored people are wondering, after having heard so many promises in high sounding words from the then Senator Harding, why the change of attitude to apparent antipathy? They are asking if it is the policy of the G. O. P., that is responsible for it, or the bull-headedness of the President. There are some who claim that it is not the policy of the G. O. P., and name individuals who are true and tried that are standing out for fair play for the colored brother, But, listen carefully, they allege the President is trying to prove to the Democrats that he is not tainted with colored blood as claimed by them last fall. That being true, he is proving that the allegation has some tinge of truth far more by his endeavor to disprove than he would by due consideration for, and recognition of, colored people in appointments in proportion to their loyalty to the party and potential voting power. No class of people have been as loyal to the Republican party as has the Negro. And to pass him up so unceremoniously is ingratitude personified. Colored people are alive to the situation and have resolved to prove to this Administration that we are not the "easy marks" which it considers us. We will defeat every man connected with this administration coming up for election in 1922 that we possibly can; and defeat this administration in 1924. Harding must not be re-elected. 88 COMING EVENTS Howard University opens Sept. 28. Vespers at the Y. W. C. A., conducted by Miss Mamie Hewlett, First Baptist Church. Charles S.

About 18 men, reported to Coach Morrison for work; of this number, about 10 are men from last year. This is the first time in the history THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 18. 1921 of the school that the players have reported so early. The reason for the early reporting is, to get the men in shape for the early games in the schedule. This has often proved more of a handicap than the coach has been able to overcome during the season. In order to prevent the loss of one of these early games, the coach has had to put men in who were not in condition, which often resulted in valuable players being practically lost to the team. Another reason is, that every game scheduled this year is going to be a hard one for Howard. It is the highest ambition of all teams to defeat the Blue and White, which adds greatly to the problems of the coach. Head Coach W. E. Morrison, who is a former Tufts star and a graduate of Everett High at Everett, Mass., is to be assisted this year by Joseph E. Trigg, a former star of Syracuse University. Mr. Trigg is a graduate of Dunbar High School here and has been devoting most of his time to sports since leaving Syracuse. With these two capable men at the helm, the Blue and White team appears to be in for its banner year. Coach Morrison intends to make his schedule public during the next few days; he has one contract out, and just as soon as this returns, the schedule will be announced. "SADNESS, MADNESS, GLADNESS WALTZ" PROF. MILLER'S LATEST CREATION Prof. Jas. E. Miller, the popular leader of The Community Centers Band of this city, is the author and composer of one of the latest waltzes on the market. Prof. Miller's composition is known as the "Sadness, Madness, and Gladness Waltz." and has been already purchased by the Pianostyle Player Roll Co., of New York City. The "Sadness, Madness and Gladness Waltz" is acclaimed by all music lovers to be one of the most beautiful waltzes published this season. Its popularity is attested to by the fact that the Jordan Music Store at 13th Street and G, N. W., received its first shipment last week and sold the entire bunch in one day. Another shipment however, has been ordered and all music stores in the city will be stocked with them. The waltz is also in sheet music form and can be purchased at any music store. The piano roll is listed in the October release by the Pianostyle Co., under the number 47908. Prof. Miller is well known in Washington's music circles and his band has one of the largest followings of any. He is a keen musician and enjoys a national reputation. PROF. JAMES E.
