The Washington Tribune President Holds Race Issue National APPEALS FOR POLITICAL EQUALITY FOR THE NEGRO Fails to Discuss Civil Rights and Enforcement of Ideals Advanced by Him All the News That's Fit to Print VOL. I, No. 25 Presid APPEALS FOR EQUALITY Fails to Discuss Civil of Ideals Adv The President went into the heart of the South, and on Wednesday, in his speech at Birmingham, Ala., deliberately waved the "red flag of social equality." This was a stirring speech—in some respects favorable to us and in other respects unfavorable—and the effect we trust, will be farreaching. It was the sensation of the week. The President's remarks indicate that he approves of the Southern laws which prescribe the qualifications for voters, saying; "Let the black man vote when he is fit to vote," but he does not suggest the means by which the South can be forced to honestly and fairly enforce those laws. The President reminded the South that the race issue is not simply sectional, but has now become national and should be dealt with accordingly. That takes it out of the hands of the "State's righters," and places the responsibility of a just and effective solution upon the shoulders of his administration, to which we may look for the relief we have waited for so long. The President's address was to the "black men" of this country, and it is indeed strikingly noticeable how often he used the term "black men" and "blacks." It is no longer necesasry to be in doubt as to the President's stand on the race question, nor his attitude concerning the Negro in politics. POINTED PARAGRAPHS FROM PRESIDENT HARDING'S SPEECH If the Civil War marked the beginning of industrialism in a South which had previously been almost entirely agricultural, the World War brought us to full recognition that the race problem is national rather than merely sectional. It is indeed encouraging that the President has declared that "the race problem is national rather than merely sectional." This opens the opportunity and makes it incumbent upon the national government to correct many of the wrongs perpetrated upon colored people in the United States. The treating of the race question as a national one would deprive the Southern States of their cherished "State Rights," and bring to our group the relief we so much desire and deserve. We look forward now to the passing and enforcing of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, now pending in Congress, and the abolition of jim-crow cars. Politically and economically there need be no occasion for great and permanent differentiation, for limitation of the individual opportunity, provided that on both sides there shall be recognition of the absolute divergence in things social and racial. The limitation of our individual opportunities politically and economically has been the practice of even our federal government for many years, and exists at this present time, yet neither the President nor his Congress has done one thing to eradicate the "limitations." Our race has long deserved and hoped for this "equal opportunity politically and economically," and if President Harding will insist that this administration gives us that opportunity, it will accomplish more for interracial good will, and the general betterment of the country at large, than any administration since Lincoln's. Published Weekly ent Ho POLITICAL FOR THE NEGRO Rights and Enforcement anced by Him Men of both races may well stand uncompromisingly against every suggestion of social equality. The President brandishes the "red flag" of "social equality." What was his motive? There is not a single group of our people, nor a race leader anywhere, nor a newspaper, nor any other responsible person or persons among colored people advocating social equality. That has always been, and is yet, the false cry of the South: "Negroes want social equality." The South has not been able to fully realize that we have higher ideals, nobler purposes, and more racial consciousness than to advocate such a doctrine. I would say let the black man vote when he is fit to vote; prohibit the white man when he is unfit to vote. This expression is seemingly cleverly worded and may mislead the merely casual reader. To say "prohibit the white man from voting when he is unfit" carries with it the implication that the white man has the inherent right to vote. On the other hand, to say—"I would let the black man vote when he is fit," carries with it the idea that he has not the inherent right to vote and will only be permitted to do so when the white man passes upon his qualifications. Will Southern white men ever think colored men are "fit to vote?" and what will this administration do to force the South to recognize that necessary fitness on the part of colored men? It is the problem of democracy everywhere, if we mean the things we say about democracy as the ideal political state. The President rightly declares that democracy is on trial. And the eyes of the world are on America and her advocacy of this democracy, expecting to see that she does promulgate those great principles among her own citizens. "Democracy" is truly a lie on our Constitution, unless this administration practices what it has advocated for democracy, and gives colored people equal civil, political and economic opportunities. He (the negro) should try to be, and should be encouraged to be, the best possible black man, and not the best possible imitation of a white man. The President's meaning here is vague. Does he mean to give vent to the Southern white man's oft repeated dictum, "Let the 'Nigger' stay in his place?" If this is his inference the President failed to define the Negroes' place? Who has the authority to define our status? Let the South realize the menace which lies in forcing upon the black race an attitude of political solidarity. In this expression the President shows great concern regarding the political solidarity of the Negro. He points out that this is the real menace threatening the South, which feeling (Continued on page 8) FOOTBALL Returns from the two Big Football games, Lincoln vs. Wilberforce and Howard vs. West Virginia, will be posted in the Tribune's Office just as soon as these games are over..Results gladly given over the phone, N.6554-w OUR LOYAL SUPPORT OUR BUSINESS ENTERPRISES OBLIFITY For the best title received before November 14th, the merchants of Washington will give a free trip to Philadelphia and a ticket to the Howard-Lincoln game, Thanksgiving Day.

Wilkinson assistant superintendent of city schools, stated at the meeting of the Georgetown Civic Association Tuesday night, that he wanted to separate the commercial department of the Dunbar High School and have it housed in a building all its own to be known as a Business High School. This was a public meeting of the association and the church in which it was held, was well filled. Mrs. Gabriel Pelham and Attorney Chas. S. Hill also spoke. Following the report of the Educational Committee in which a protest was made over the failure of the opening of the Phillips school for night classes, Prof. Wilkinson said: "It is my endeavor to keep in touch with conditions. Regarding the night schools I wish to say that there has been arranged a standardized year of eight months for the night schools. With the insufficient funds appropriated for this work, it was necessary to apportion that amount so as to cover the needs as best possible. Therefore, we made Stevens school the West side school for night classes." After telling of how the force of teachers had been cut down from about one hundred last year to fifty-one this year and the length of the term guaranteed for eight months instead of five or six as heretofore, Mr. Wilkinson said: "The most important question confronting our people is the one of physical fitness. Next to that is our secondary education and the important feature of that at this time is a strictly commercial high school. The business department at Dunbar is improperly housed and inadequately supplied. There are 342 students in that department, and Dunbar has a total enrollment of 1,516, although it was built to accommodate only 1,200. By placing the commercial department in a separate building the academic department could function better and the business department would be of greater service. We need CONDEMNS WHITE LEADERSHIP The Hon. George Riley, orator, preacher and lecturer—has been delivering able lectures at the Y. M. C. A. on 12th street this week in the interest of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, of which Marcus Garvey is the head and prime promoter. The preachers, the self appointed leaders and "the Uncle Toms" have been denounced by Dr. Riley as being "the greatest stumbling blocks to the Garvey movement and the intelligent uplift of the Negro." clerks and stenographers, salesmen and advertising men—captains of industry, if you please. We have important corporations and business of every variety and we actually need a Business High School." Mrs. Pelham spoke on the possibility of utilizing all of the ground adjacent to the Phillips school for play-ground. She also said that the women of Georgetown should organize a civic association as well as the men and told of the women's organization at the Bruce school and what it had accomplished. Attorney Chas. S. Hill, president of the Dunbar Community Center was introduced. He said: "These movements," speaking of the various civic movements over the city, "are the mediums by and thru which we can give expression to what we want." By a standing vote of the Association, Prof. Wilkinson, Attorney Hill and Mrs. Pelham were extended an invitation to be present at the annual banquet of the association which is to be given December 29th. Eleven new members were enrolled at this meeting. The association has a membership of 150 which makes it the largest civic association in the District. The barricade at Dumbarton and 26th streets was erected by the efforts of the Georgetown Civic Association and a petition was read Tuesday night for the paving of O Street in that section. The Georgetown Civic Association under the leadership of Mr. George T. Beason, is making wonderful progress and is really getting results. It is behind the Rev. A. J. Mitchell, pastor of Mt. Zion M. E. Church, in his race for one of the automobiles that is to be given away by a local daily newspaper. MU-SO-LIT CLUB HEARS HERSHAW In his lecture on "Some Misconceptions of Leadership," at the Mu-So-Lit Club, Friday night, Prof. L. M. Hershaw, told how easily it is for group conception of leadership to be "mis-conception" and attributed a large responsibility of it to the influence of "the political stevedores" of the colored people. He said the three important things needed by the race was will, knowledge and courage. He waded into the leadership problem without gloves, saying: "Our conception of leadership has been mis-conception for we have associated leadership with office-holding. No other group in the world thinks of their office-holdes as leaders." Prof. Hershaw told how this misconception came about during the days of Reconstruction when the best men were selected for office and filled it with credit to the race and not for personal advantage. He spoke of Douglass, of Langston and other real leaders of the race who held office and because of their dominating personalities, which made them bigger than the office they held, were classed as the real leaders of the race. This gave our people the idea that office-holding carried with it leadership. "It is not true of today," said the professor, "for the register of the treasury, the recorder of deeds, the post-masterships are all routine jobs, repurring no initiative in formulating plans or policies, and are therefore automatic. The men who accept such positions are nothing more than political stevedores given the positions because of what they were supposed to deliver in the election; and none of these positions carry with them any responsibility or the opportunity to render real service to the race. Then where does the leadership come in?" Prof. Hershaw said that we had not had any political leaders for a number of years. "Where is the man who poses as a leader, who has lifted his voice against the ills of Jim Crow Cars, disfranchisement, segregation from which our race is suffering?" he asked. "I cannot recall a single one of the office holders or office seekers who has advanced one single that worthy of thinking over for the betterment of the race, nor do I know of a single one of them be- Circulation Books Open To All PRICE 5 CENTS BIG CONTEST TO SEE HOWARD- LINGOLN GAME FREE BEGINS BIG CONTEST TO SEE HOWARD- LINGOLN GAME FREE BEGINS Best Title to Cartoon to Win Prize Furnished by Merchants CONTEST OPEN TO EVERYBODY Round Trip to Philadelphia and Ticket to Big Game Awaits Winner The Tribune's big contest for the best title for the cartoon appearing on Thanksgiving Day.

Men of lesser attainments were left to gather up delegates and given office as the result of delegate coralling. Then what claim have they for leadership? "For our leaders, we should take into consideration and endeavor to have men whose character and service to the race are of the highest. It is really necessary that we exercise concern in this matter." There was a large crowd to hear Prof. Hershaw and among them were some of the "political stevedores." The practical injunction was that we should strive for the central that of human existence and endeavor to have the will, obtain the knowledge, and demonstrate the courage, to paddle our own canoe.

The Sophomore team, mostly veterans of last year’s annual class game is de- termined to demonstrate to the “low- ly” Freshmen, its superiority, phy- sically as well as intellectually. This game promises to be a keenly con- tested one,vand is receiving the hearty approval of members of both classes. The class of '25 demonstrated its true colors by soliciting a fund among its members for the purchase of flow- ers for Miss Anna Benix, & member of the class who was taken ill in class last week and is now in Freedmen’s Hospital. The president, Mr. W. F.

The Stage and the Screen (By Jay Bee) VARIETY BILL AT HOWARD PLEASES Appreciative Audience Warmly Welcomes New Policy Monday. October 24, marked the Tenth Anniversary of the Howard Theater and an enthusiastic audience of typical "Monday Nighters" was in attendance. In the return of the "Vaudeville as You Like It" policy, the Howard management is to be congratulated on being able to secure the extraordinary talent, which comprised the $1675 bill for their inaugural offering. Judging from the enthusiastic welcome that was accorded each number, it goes without saying that the Howard patrons will amply support the type of clean, high-class vaudeville that is being offered there this week. Manager Andrew Thomas, in a short speech, outlined the new policy of the house and he assuringly declared that if given unstinted support, the management would leave no stone unturned in an effort to make the Howard Theatre, the "People's Temple of Amusement." He was heartily applauded. A Pathe Pictorial opened the bill, which was followed by Ah Ling Foo, Mysterious Chinaman. This gent of the Orient furnished several interesting illusions that kept every one guessing. When he finished, the stage resembled a goose and duck farm. The Gertie Miller Trio, a woman and two eccentric black-face comedians, proved clever entertainers. Miss Miller's renditions of "They Needed a song-bird in Heaven, So God Took Caruso Away," and Tim Brymm's "Stop, Rest Awhile," both late song successes, were capably done with the assistance of her ginger artists, who are also excellent vocalists. The appearance of Brown and Demont, former residents of Washington and favorites here, was the signal for much spontaneous contact of itching palms. They amused immensely with THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1921 good singing, kidding and all-round eccentric laugh-getting antics. The headlines, Chappelle and Stinette, vocalists extraordinaire, with gorgeous settings, in the fourth position experienced much difficulty in giving their enthusiastic hearers enough. These artists possess voices that are far superior to those usually heard in vaudeville. Miss Stinette's Bird of Paradise gown, a gorgeous raiment, adorned with twelve of these rare species, caused no little amount of commotion among the worshippers of Dame Fashion. They were ably assisted at the piano by Bobby Lee, late of Handy's Band. Wilson and Wilson, black-faced comedians, in their "Bum-a-Nickel" skit are real mirthprovokers. Many laughs were earned by their clean-cut wholesome humor. Mooney's Comedy Circus, a very interesting diversion, consisting of two well-trained ponies, clowns, cats and a bucking donkey, closed the vaudeville portion of the bill. A special film feature closed the show. A riot of fun for the money. CHAPERONES FOR CHORUS BEAUTIES "In Mimic World" Did you ever hear of chaperones for chorus girls? No? Well, the twenty chorus beauties, and six principal girl stars in "Jr. Mimic World," coming to the Howard Theatre, have chaperones, not only in New York, but when they go "on the road" as well. There are three mothers of the girls in the show, officially engaged by the "Woods Theatrical Enterprises," who own the show, to travel with the troupe, and guard the physical and moral welfare of the girls. They are responsible for every girl in the troupe and, no girl can accept an invitation from a man, or go anywhere in a social way without the consent of one of the chaperones. The chaperones are Mrs. Coleman, mother of Rhea Coleman, the dainty dancer of the company, who impersonates Bessie Clayton, then Mrs. Braham, mother of Agnes Braham, who impersonates Jose Collins, and Mrs. Woods, mother of the Woods Sisters, (Continued on page 8) Football & Sports Football & Sports 2:30 Tuesday—Thursday—Saturday 2:30 2:00 Special Sunday Matinee 3:00 NIGHT PRICES—55 Cents and 28 Cents Watch For Next Week's Attraction HOWARD WINS OVER VIRGINIA NORMAL Saturday afternoon, October 22nd, at 3:30 o'clock on Howard Athletic field, Howard won from the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute of Petersburgh—26 to 0. This team was the only one that scored on Howard last season. The team, however, did not cross Howard's goal, but owing to her clever kicking. Va. Normal was able to score a field goal. During the first quarter of Saturday's game, Virginia fumbled the ball from kick off, and Howard covered it. Howard, being near Virginia's goal, tried for a touchdown, but the Virginian's line held so strong, that on the fourth down Payne tried for a drop kick but failed. Doneghy in the last of the first quarter found the loose bricks in Virginia's wall and ran 15 yards for a first down. There was no scoring in this quarter. Shortly after the beginning of the second quarter, Doneghy ran 25 yards for a touchdown, but Brooks missed the goal. Nearing the end of this quarter Kean threw a long pass to Williams just inside of the left boundary line and Williams scored a touchdown. Brooks missed goal again. In the third quarter Virginia kicked to Howard and Doneghy advanced the ball 60 yards. Howard fought hard for another touchdown, marching dow the field making three first downs in succession. Howard was 8 yards from goal, first down, with goal to gain. Howard advanced the ball by hard playing to within 3 yards of the goal and this was her fourth down. She tried to make the goal but failed. The ball went over to Virginia. This was Virginia's first down, with the ball 3 yards from her own goal. Virginia kicked out of danger. Nurse blocked the kick and Melton conered the ball behind the goal for a touchdown. Brooks kicked the goal. In this quarter Hardwick substituted for Kean; Young for Payne; and Chambers for Molson. In the fourth quarter Payne, Kean and Molson went back into the fray. There was hard playing in the first of the quarter. In the midle of the quarter, Virginia kicked, Kean received the ball and ran 35 yards. In the last of the quarter, a series of passes were attempted by Howard. Doneghy threw an incomplete pass to Williams. Kean threw a pass to Doneghy. Kean then threw a pass to Nurse who scored a touchdown, and Brooks kicked the goal. Blackwell substituted for Holton. There was only about four minutes to play, Virginia kicked to Howard. Howard realizing how successful her passes had worked tried another series of passes, but they failed to yield a score. The game was very striking, interesting and sensational from start to finish. The Virginians exhibited the excellent training which they had received under Coach Watson. The team came on the field courageous and confident of victory. Both teams had good strong lines and a fast backfield. Virginia brought Howard a nice line shift but owing to the fact that it had not been perfected, the play was broken up by Nurse, R. E., before the backfield could advance. Doneghy was the individual star of the game. Williams and Nurse (ends) showed cleverness in their catching of long passes and breaking up end plays. Payne and Molson also Coaches: Howard—W. E. Morrison; Virginia—L. L. Watson. Officials: E. B. Henderson (Dunbar) Referee; Benjamin Washington (Armstrong), Head Linesman; Hayley Douglass (Dunbar), Timer; Fleming Jones (Howard), scorer. Howard will meet West Virginia Collegiate Institute at Charleston, West Virginia on October 29; Shaw University of Raleigh, N. C. at Washington, Nov. 5; Hampton, of Hampton, Va., at Hampton, Nov. 12; Lincoln at Philadelphia, Thanksgiving Day. Returns from the Howard-West Virginia game, today, Oct. 29, will be posted at the Tribune Office at the close of the game. Results also given over the phone, N. 6554-w. WILBERFORCE PLAYS LINCOLN SATURDAY Wilberforce, Ohio—Wilberforce is all "het up" for the big game with Lincoln, Saturday. Not within the memory of the oldest inhabitant has such commotion in preparing for a game been noticed. Thousands of visitors are expected to attend the game. Coach Taylor has a team well trained and determined to win. The Wilberforce backfield will put up a strong attack with both Hurd and Sedgewick back in the line-up. Mumford or George Banks will be at quarter, Hurd and "Suds" Sedgewick at halves, and "Big Bill" Watkins at full, "Red" Garvin, Middleton, "Gus" Redden, Coleman, Mitchell and Ferebee will be on hand to relieve the "Big Fellows." Captain Brady Tripp and Scottie Brown will probably start the game in their regular berths at end, with McGee, Edwards, Mitchell and Berry on the sidelines. Thompson will start the game at center, but there is still some uncertainty as to the other linemen.

CHURCH GETS NEW CHARGE A large congregation of members and friends of Lane Chapel, C. M. E. were present last Sunday morning to bid God-speed to Rev. W. A. Womack, A.B., B.D., who after a pastorate of two and a half years, left for Detroit, Mich., Thursday morning, where he will assume charge of St. John's C. M. E. Church, succeeding Rev. W. D. Crane. St. John's Church is widely known as one of the most prosperous churches of the Race and boasts of a membership of 1500. It maintains a handsome nine-room parsonage. The budget for this year's expenditures totals $28,000. Rev. Womack, at the outbreak of the recent war was a pastor of the Mother Church of Tennessee, from which he resigned to become an executive secretary in the Y. M. C. A. branch. He served in such capacity until the armistice was signed. He later came to Lane Chapel. His career at the Lane Chapel is replete wit hremarkable accomplishments. During his pastorate there; the sum of $20,000 was raised; an indebtedness of $2500, entirely wiped out; the membership increased by 150 and a grand total of $4400 now remains in the treasury. Rev. Womack, though comparatively young, is a graduate of Paine University, where he received the degree of A.B., later receiving the degree of B.D., from Howard University. He has done much toward developing the C. M. E. branch of Methodism and his appointment, at this time, to one of the best churches in the connection is a reward for meritorious services. Captain C.

FOOTBALL AND SPORTS (Continued from page 4) ler, Swanson, "Red" Packer, Ludlough, "Loot" Roberts, Caldwell, Jenkins, "Link" Turner, Fisher, Chavis, Black, "Pug" Pearson, "Jack" Shearin, Ward, "Andy" Smith and Beame are all experienced linemen, heavy and far above the average in ability. There isn't a man named above who tips the scales less than 175 lbs, with the exception of course of Scottie Brown, the speedy diminutive end; and Coach "Wicky" Taylor could readily pick any of the above men and feel assured that each of them would give a real exhibition of fight and gameness. The players are anxious for the fray and have full confidence that they'll send Lincoln back to Pennsylvania, much weaker and wiser. Saturday's game will mark the final home appearance in football of four of the "Force" men who are slated to play against Lincoln. "Loot" Roberts, "Red" Garvin, and George Banks are the seniors who will take the field. "Red" Packer, who will very likely get into part of the game, is another member of the senior class. The remainder of Wilberforce's schedule is to be played on foreign soil. Returns from the Howard-Lincoln game, today, October, 29, will be posted at the Tribune Office at the close of the game.

Williams Hampton, Va., Oct. 22—Although Hampton and Shaw began playing football in 1907, Hampton played its first game in the League Park at Raleigh on Friday, October 21, 1921. Under clear skies and with weather made to order, the two teams battled for three quarters without either being able to score. The Shawites entered the game with considerable confidence, as they had defeated Hampton last season, 13 to 0. Hampton had two chances to score and Shaw one chance in the three periods. The defensive work of both teams was effective. Poor generalship and a penalty for Hampton aided Shaw, but she could not score. The punting of both teams was only fair. Chamberlain for Hampton and Young for Shaw received and advanced kicks well. Dabney of Hampton at center played in old-time form, while Ligon at full for Shaw played stellar ball. The last quarter was sensational. It opened with both teams trying to score. Hampton appeared to be getting the advantage until Williams of Shaw made a dash of 75 yards around Hampton's left end for a touchdown. His interference was perfect, taking every Hampton man out of the play. The goal was missed. The Shaw rooters were wild with joy. As there were only eleven minutes to play, victory seemed certain. Hampton received the kick-off. In the next four minutes of play they planted the pigskin behind their goal line without once losing it. Goal was kicked and the score stood 7 to 6 in Hampton's favor. Both teams displayed some of the old-time fighting spirit that has made their schools famous. The game was one of the cleanest and hardest fought games ever witnessed in Raleigh. The sportsmanship exhibited added much to the pleasure of the spectators. Referee, Lawrence of Howard; Umpire, Oxley of St. Augustine; Timekeeper, Jefferson of St. Augustine. LINCOLN DEFEATS BORDEN- TOWN Lincoln University, Pa., Oct. 21—Coach Shelburne carried his pets to Bordentown last Saturday for a game with the team of that institution. Much to the surprise of the Lincoln men and their adherents, Bordentown trotted out a squad that was equally as heavy as the Lincoln team. They first sent on the field a husky looking team which the Lincoln boys thought were their opponents. A few minutes, however, before the game was called, another team still heavier came out. This latter group was the first team. Captain Laws won the toss. Lincoln kicked off and made two touchdowns in the first quarter. It was very evident that Lincoln was vastly superior to the Brentown group for after making these two touchdowns and kicking the goals they slowed up in their work. It is not to be understood, however, that the Bordentown team is not a good one. It only lacks training to make it a strong aggregation. Lincoln scored a touchdown again in the third quarter and another in the fourth, but did not kick the goal for either of these touchdowns. The final score. Lincoln 26. Bordentown 0. Poindexter, a new man, played full back for the first time. He is an earnest player but lacks finish and runs rather high. McClain ran the team very well, and carried the ball for good gains. Sam Parr played his usual good game, and showed evidences of being able to play a better offensive game than heretofore. Miles, who played the other half back position did fairly well. The line lived up to expectations. Crudup at end had to retire at the end of the first half because of an old injury to his side. He went in again in the 4th period and played a good game. The line men were guilty of holding on several caissons. Hogan Guards and Wood at tackle, played at center, Bellinger and Green at their positions well. ARMSTRONG HIGH WINS Armstrong High simply mothered Manassas Industrial School last Saturday. The Virginia boys offered rather weak opposition, never once having Armstrong's goal in danger. The line up for Armstrong was Branson, R. E.; McCoy, R. T.; Marshall, R.G.; Blue, Center; Levy, L.G.; Smith, L. T.; Berry, L. E.; Middleton, L. E. (sub.); Hunley, Q.B.; Harris, R. H.; Trigg, F. B.; Brent, F. B. (sub.) Turner, L. H. B.; Honesty, L. H. B. (sub.). The schedule for remaining season is: Saturday, October 29—Mozarts of Alexandria, at Alexandria; Nov. 5—Morgan College in Balto.; Nov. 12—Baltto. H. S., home; and the final game will be played Thanksgiving week for the local high school championship with Dunbar at American League Park. THE PIEDMONTS TO PLAY THEIR FIRST GAME OCT. 30 The Piedmonts will meet the strong Buffalo eleven at Brightwood, D. C., Sunday, October 30. It is understood that the Buffalo team is strong and fast; moreover, they have won two or more games with other good clubs and intend to keep up the winning step. For the Piedmonts they have had several hard practices including noticeable scrimmages and have from the beginning shown wonderful ability, promising success. They, too, declare that they intend to be victors in the coming clash. So look out for a game with plenty of ginger. You may reach Brightwood, by taking cars traveling north on 9th St. and Georgia Ave., namely—Tokoma Pk., Forest Glen and Brightwood. Reaching Brightwood get off at Car Barn; inquire where do the people of color play ball. The game to be called at 1:30 sharp. Notice in this paper weekly for the scheduled games of the Piedmonts. Masquerade Pageant at Convention Hall According to the gigantic preparations made by the Royal Roosters for Halloween night, at Convention Hall, their Masquerade Pageant will far surpass their last year's success at which five thousand masqueraders were in attendance and nearly two thousand others barred admittance due to lack of space in the old Coliseum Hall. Quite fortunate this year they have the Convention Hall, capacity nearly eight thousand. So it is anticipated that there will be enough space within this mammoth hall to accommodate the great throngs of hob-goblins, witches, spooks and what-nots who clamour to get-to-gether on this spirited eve each year. The $100.00 prize awaiting the most comical costume and most attractive costume will undoubtedly be received gratefully. The Photographer's booth being a new feature, it is expected that they will be crowded with individuals and groups of masqueraders in an effort to have their photographs taken in costume. The return of Miss Gertie Wells with a newly picked All Star Band will without a doubt be quite a treat. With the many other new creations to be staged, the air of a Real Pigeon Ball will be experienced at Convention Hall Halloween night. will appear at the Mt.

Music Forum 6 The great majority of our professional instrumentalists, and musicians in general, neglect the opportunities of our common schools, to say nothing of their neglect for the higher studies. Little less apparent is their neglect of the many opportunities which the various branches of music theory have to suffer. To such neglect, and to nothing else, can be traced the social rating to which the profession as a whole is subjected. It is obvious that our profession is not rated on a par with other professions. But it should be! Take the average musician if you please and note the insignificant influence he wields in the community; the choir director, the church organist—note the minor position to which they are relegated in religious circles; the music teacher—note their limited sphere of activity in civic life. The profession itself is not to blame, but its personnel. As the standards of education rise, so will the prestige of the profession and (to be sordid) so will the material recompense. With this rise, a desirable type will seek membership in the ranks of practitioners of this greatest of all arts, and the undesirables will be automatically eliminated. This rise will see the science of music come into its own and be recognized as a necessary adjunct to the study of music. The musician will become not only a digital virtuoso (our Darwinian progenitors are as clever physically), but an intellectual interpreter of the creative products in which our art is so rich. The ignorant actor struts through the yellow and mellow drama to the vociferous applause; the untutored artist paints pictures with elongated foreshortening, and smirks contentedly at a vermillion blotch for a rising sun; the uneducated musician dexterously reels off yards of sixteenths and thirty-seconds, and fatuously imagines he has sounded the depths of the language of music. Pooh! Multitudi- An Able Author Mr F. H. M. Murray, an old and honored resident of this city and a lover of children, is the author of a noteworthy book. It is not a recent publication but few Alexandrians know of it. "Emancipation and the Freed in American Sculpture" is the title and "it is an interesting and enlightening account of the various sculpture groups in which the Negro has been represented in America," as stated in a review in the "Crisis." An interesting feature of this work is that Mr. Murray set the type and printed the book himself in his spare hours. It is finely gotten up in every respect. The introduction is by John W. Cromwell, Esq., and is one of the few introductions I've read which I believe the writers of, honestly paid tribute because their subject was worthy of honor and not because they were, of course, expected to laud their subject. The book is published by the Murray Bros. Press, Washington, D. C., and sells for $1.75. Mr. Murray thoroughly understands his subject and displays a truly artistic knowledge of sculpture and paintings. The younger generation in all other cities take advantage of such places as the Florence Cafe. Fountain service is what Alexandrians have cried for. Mrs. Madella installed a first class fountain costing over $1000, and now, due to the lack of business, she is considering selling the fountain. The writer has often wondered why young couples are not seen at this cafe. We will have to continue saying "nothing lasts in this town," not so much because those who start enterprises stop, but because of the lack of patronage. This is no partial plea for advertisement in favor of this cafe, but it is stating a condition which exists here more than any other place the writer has ever visited. A white contractor informed the people at the Alexandria Hospital that his men would not work "if that black man continued to work." Douglass Carter was hanging a door at the hospital and white carpenters came to work at the Nurse's Home. To keep from delaying the work which was urgent, Carter quit. Carter is also a cabinet maker and he was hired at once by the matron to do a piece of work which no white man present could have done. A fire caught at the residence of Mr. Thomas Johnson, of N. Patrick Street last Friday doing damage to the interior of the house. At 5:30 Monday morning a fire THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1921 nous evidences of that. And music is language. It has a story to tell which, in spite of an inherent intangibility, is coherent. Its coherency depends upon its structure, and its structure depends upon a science founded upon art creations. Great composers are born, but they are also made; for if they were not made their genius would be wasted in heterogeneous products which tell no tales other than a transient babbling. "Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast, to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak." Perhaps our typical musician succeeds in giving the world this comfort which Congreve declared is an attribute of our art. Perhaps, too, our musician may make music "the speech of angels." But if he fails to demonstrate that "Music is the universal language," that its form is governed by laws no less inviolable than the laws of literature, science and all other arts, he fails in his mission. That I might enjoy the cadences and gestures of a capable elocutionist rendering the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam in its original tongue (although I know not one word of Persian) is conceivable. That I might train my tongue to a dexterity capable of reproducing these same quatrains, and that I might catch the proper inflections with the right stress here and the proper cadence there, is no less conceivable. But that I am in the first case enjoying the rendition intellectually, or in the second case rendering intelligently, is wholly inconceivable. Even my knowledge of Fitzgerald's English version helps little. Too many musicians are rendering their Rubaiyats without even a knowledge of the Persian alphabet. Music is intangible; to be meaningful, it must be recreated; to be recreated, the science of the art must be understood; to be understood, it must be studied. started at the old glass factory on N.

Please show your Tribune to your next door neighbor if he or she is not a subscriber. I thank you. Will You Advertise? To advertise accomplishes two ends: it gives information to the public that certain professional and business men have something they are sure the public wants; it also adds to the revenue of the publication and enables it to become larger and stronger and more of a business asset to both advertiser and publisher as well as to the subscribing public. Without advertising a publication cannot exist, and without advertising your business cannot increase. Try an 'Ad-o-gram' at two cents a word, minimum price twenty-five cents. The Philharmonic Club some time ago rendered the farce "The Minister's Wife's New Bonnet" at the Community building. Since then Miss Carrie Nickens has had calls and complied to them by performing at Woodlawn and at Naucks. This club is the strongest church club in the city and Monday night will give a Hallowen Mask Party at the Community Building. Miss Nickens is president; Mr. John Murray, secretary.

Answers must be submitted by Saturday following Business and Commerce A SINGLE RULE FOR SUCCESS Much has been written on success. However, I find that there is one simple, unfailing rule for it. Read the advice of the great and successful men, everywhere, and you will not go far before you will find this admonition: "Save Money." It runs thru and is at the bottom of all that is written about success. As a matter of fact, it is the one rule necessary to success; for, following it, brings all the other requiremnts. The man who saves will soon become industrious, intelligent, alert and trustworthy, therefore, remember that the one single rule for success is—"Save money." THRIFT THRIFT is the enemy of debt. THRIFT means care and wisdom in the management of one's resources. THRIFT develops patient self-denial so vital to greatness of character. THRIFT promotes peace of mind, personal comfort, and the good will of the community in which you live. THRIFT implies habits of economy, safeguards one against self-indulgence, misery, poverty and failure. THRIFT brings increased happiness to one's family and adds to the real wealth of one's country. THRIFT induces one to save systematically and intelligently; so that each succeeding day finds one better off than the day before. THRIFT is the basis of every large fortune. THRIFT gives one a gratifying sense of self-respect and progress, and leads steadily and surely to prosperity and happiness. THRIFT is evidence of practical common-sense, sound judgment, and wise prudence, because it is willing to make present sacrifice for future competence. THRIFT lifts one out of the large class of men who spend all they make, have nothing for the future, and are self-elected victims of daily fear and uncertainty. THRIFT is a wise provision for possible emergencies, times of illness or disaster, and a sure protection for old age. What does it profit a business to gain 300 new customers in a year and lose 300 old ones in the same period because of indifference, errors, slow delivery, discourteous letters and tactless credit policies? Over 20,000,000 people daily attend motion picture shows, paying $4,000,000 at the box offices of 18,000 theaters. Nearly one-fifth of the people in the United States are "movie fans." Following every great war, there has been a period of great prosperity due to the exhaustion of reserve stocks of all kinds. High prices have marked all of these periods.

The Episcopal campaign, which is nation wide is being pushed by Rev. L. A. King of Meade Chapel. The Chapel's quota is $50. Last week the Dudley Theater offered a classy show but this week they started off with a show so full of smut that everyone condemned it. It would be wise to run a clean show if only for the sake of the children. Mr. and Mrs. Rolland Williams, Mrs. Mary Johnson and Mrs. Malinda Jackson, motored to Clifton Forge, Va. last week. A plot of ground at the Northeast corner of Wythe and Patrick Streets has been purchased and a Presbyterian Mission building is to be erected there soon. Twenty members were received into the faith last Sunday by Rev. Allison (white). Meetings have been held from house to house and new members are added weekly. The Sunday School enrollment numbers about fifty. Next week we hope to publish the entire membership or a letter from the Mission. IN MEMORIAM In sad but loving remembrance of my devoted husband, CLARENCE H. MADELLA, who departed this life eight years ago, October 25, 1913. Alexandria, Va. the Civil War, thirteen years passed before prices returned to a normal level; but during this period, the lowering was due to a revolution in mechanical and industrial methods, which is now out of the question. The present level of prices may be maintained for a long time. The railroads owe the government more than $700,000,000 for capital investments during the World War and Congress is considering, on recommendation of the President, lending the railroad magnates $500,000,000 more. Wonder if they will reduce freight and passenger rates so that the commerce of the country may move more freely or will they divide that melon into dividends? Last year the American people spent more than $600,000,000 for soft drinks, not including near-beer and ice cream sodas. How much of this was spent by the colored people of Washington among their own group? A VACANT CHAIR IN THE PROFESSIONAL WORLD Of course, dear reader, you have gone to a very poor show which served as quite a disappointment for an anticipated evening of pleasure. It made you rebel against the management for offering such a production to an intelligent audience. You fussed and discouraged further patronage but I wonder if you thought and studied the reason for this unpleasant occurrence. I am not offering any excuse for our theatrical managers. They do not need any. The reason we lack a nice long list of clean, vivacious, and beautiful shows for our amusement is due to a sad social catastrophe. In the education of the youth of the Race we have overlooked the theatrical field; it is only the lawyer, doctor or school teacher we are aiming to produce. It is no miracle when the less fortunate, whose education has often been neglected, has the grit to offer uncultivated talent for your amusement that failure is the result. The stage to the colored boy or girl is pictured as a most undesirable activity. With the white race it has been different. In the theatrical world of the Caucasian, you will find graduates of the best colleges, dramatic schools and dancing academys. The rich and the poor enter the contest for fame. They are all ambitious trained workers expressing individuality and combining their efforts in producing the sort of amusements demanded by the American public. We are all proud of Roland Hayes and the rest of the exceptionally fortunate but we should be proud to strike a happy medium of musical comedy of the old days. Such shows as Williams and Walker, and Cole and Johnson used to produce cannot be just memories. It is impossible with the growth of intelligence and efficiency in other branches of work. Any race is incomplete unless efficiency is aimed at in all trades and professions. In this present era the Race considers the "professional caste" of society the goal of everyone. While we build theatres and send our youths to colleges we are forgetting to train any dancers, artists, or dramatists. Most any day we are elated to see a new sign of a young attorney-at-law, or a physician and again we congratulate a young girl who has been appointed to teach; but when have you sat in a box and watched a schoolmate smile and bow to a storm of applause and at the last encore toss her a handsome bouquet as a token of your appreciation of her wonderful art? It is a grand and glorious feeling for all concerned.

CHILDREN'S PAGE ```markdown ``` Ocean which ran from south to north on the western side of the earth and in the opposite direction on the eastern side. On the southern side of the earth, close to the River Ocean lived a happy and virtuous people called the Aethiopians. The gods liked them and would leave their celestal homes in Olympus to visit them at their banquets and sacrifices. Now that we have an idea of what mythology concerns and where Aethiopia is, let us bear in mind that the Aethiopians were black people. That is why we are so interested in these two particular stories. Cassiopeia and Her Daughter Cephus was the king of Aethiopia and Cassiopeia was his queen. Cassiopeia was vain and boasted of her beauty and compared it with that of the Sea-Nymphs. Although she was very beautiful she should not have been so vain. The Sea-Nymphs were so displeased with her that they caused, through the gods, Cassiopeia's daughter to be chained to a rock near the Sea. The Sea-Nymphs then sent a sea-monster to attack her. While she was tied to the rock, Perseus, the son of Jupiter, fought the serpent and rescued the princess. Cephus and Cassiopeia then gave their daughter to Perseus in marriage. After the death of the queen she was placed among the stars which to this day bear her name. The Sea-Nymphs had her placed in the sky near the pole, where every night she is half the time held with her head downward as a lesson in humility. Even this was an honor and she is referred to as "the starred Aethiop queen." Memnon was an Aethiopian prince, the son of Aurora and Tithonus. He went to Troy to assist King Priam to resist the Greeks after becoming the king of Aethiopia. He was slain in battle by Achilles, and Aurora who witnessed the death of her son, from her home in the sky, directed his brothers, the Winds, to carry his body and bury it in a tomb SHIRTS $5.00 DREN'S DEPT.

We know that there have been black kings, presidents, and congressmen; such poets as Latino, Pushin, and Dunbar; such warriors as Hannibal, Antar, and L'Ouverture; such explorers as Estevancio called "Little Steve"), and Henson; such painters as Sebastin Gomez and Tanner; such writers as Dumas, Chestnut, and DuBois; such singers as Elizabeth Greenfield, Selika, Burleigh, and Hayes; such comedians as Coles, Lucas, and Bert Williams; such actors as Aldridge and Gilpin; such composers as Bland and Coleridge-Taylor; such journalists as Fortune and Trotter; such educators as Washington and Mary S. Peake; a Douglass, an Attucks, and a hundred others in every endeavor of humankind. Why then, should one not be proud of the Negro race? In later years there will be books from which colored children will study and these books will contain stories telling of the great men and women of our race who have done great things, even as the Greeks and Romans did in their tales. These particular stories are what grown folks call mythology but we will call them by their simpler name, fables. Far back in the history of the world Dawn, the Sun, and the Moon were supposed to rise out of the ocean and drive through the air giving light to gods and humans. The earth was supposed to be flat and circular and the Greeks claimed that their own country occupied the middle of it. (By filling a plain wedding ring with dough or gum and placing it flat upon the table you can get a perfect idea of how the earth would appear if it was round and circular. Now divide the filling into quarters by marks and where the lines cross in the center, that is where the Greeks imagined themselves as living.) The circular disk of the earth ran west to east and was divided into two equal parts by the Sea, as they called what we now call the Mediterranean.

Tinkham, of Boston, Massachusetts, vigorously assailed Congress and its policy of dealing unfairly with the matter of apoportionment. Mr. Tinkham held that Congress had no moral right to pass a reapportionment measure, without first reducing representation of national legislators, in those States where disfranchisement exists. Basing his argument along constitutional lines, the Boston representative relentlessly flayed his colleagues for not obeying the mandates, as laid down in the Constitution. There are five mandatory sections to the Constitution, said Mr. Tinkham. If the Constitution is not obeyed by members of the House of Representatives, there can be no moral sanction behind the acts of Congress. National elections can no longer be half constitutional and half unconstitutional. The federal political morality must be the same in all the states. Since the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution provides equality of franchise to all citizens of the United States, then franchise equality is absolutely fundamental and vital in any democracy, and particularly in our democracy. For America to pose before the world as dictator of international morality and sponsor of international ethics, with her national Representatives elected in flagrant and defiant violation of her own Constitution, is the height of national hypocrisy. very were at home; to be price. 2nd refund your carfare. rious, colors and styles Value Sale Price $3.50 $2.95 4.00 3.50 4.50 4.00 5.00 4.50 5.00 4.00 $ .75 $ .65 1.00 .95 .50 .40 .35 3 for 1.00 BRAND SHIRTS Price Value S.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE, OUT OF TOWN $2.00 PER YEAR PRESIDENT HARDING’S SPEECH This was a frank speech delivered in the heart of the South. There are two distinct views of this speech. One is that on the whole it was a fair, clear-cut one for a white man to make in the South. Another view is that it reads the colored man out of the Republican party and flaunts the red flag of “social equality.” = While the President was on the race question he might have spoken on the South’s great pastime—lynching. However, he studiously avoided it. One sentence stands out glaringly, however, and that is this: “Racial amalgamation there cannot be.” This statement of the President’s is not in harmony with the census records, which states: “In the period of 60 years—1850 to 1910— the increase of the dark element in the Negro population amounted to 4,544,620, or 140.5 per cent, and the increase of the mulatto element to 1,644,935, or 405.4 per cent. The dark population in 1910 was then 21% times as great as in 1850, while the mulatto population in 1910 was more than 5 times as great as in 1850.” “In the 20 years from 1890 to 1910, the dark element in the South increased 20.1 per cent and the mulatto element 90.4 per cent, and in the preceeding twenty-year periods the relative increase of the mulattoes greatly exceeded that of the dark people.” This shows that “racial amalgamation” has been going on at a rapid rate. And we might state that this amalgamation has been largely due to the lust of the white man; and we do not believe Mr. Harding’s dictum that “it cannot be,” is going to stop it suddenly. The laws of the South are against inter-marriage; but, there is a common practice of “house-keepers” and concubi- nage among some of the “best families” of the South that will continue to increase the mulattoes. APPEALS FOR POLICTICAL EQUALITY IN SOUTH (Continued from page 1) is also entertained by the white men of the South, The South fears any cause that may tend to solidify the Negro. This is not a questién of social equality, but a question of recog- nizing a fundamental, eternal and inescapable difference. We shall have made real progress when we develop an attitude in the public and community thought of both races, which recognizes this difference, ‘The one thing we must sedulous- ly avoid is the development of group and class organizations in this coun- try. Just how President Harding can harmonize these two seemingly op- posite theories is not indicated in his address, The assertion that the Negro is “fundamentally, eternally and in- escapably different” from other peoples certainly implies that he is to be a separate class or group. Just how this administration hopes to a- void the development of group or class organization under such separation, is not set forth by the President; for it is obvious that any group set apart if it possess ordinary intelligence must and will organize both for its own development and protection. These things lead one to hope that we shall find an adjustment of relations between the two races, in which both can enjoy full citizen- ship, the full measure of usefulness to the country and of opportunity for themselves, and in which re- cognition and reward shall at last be distributed in proportion to in- dividual deserts, regardless of race or color, ‘This great hope experiented by the President is the hope we have long entertained—the hope of full citizen. ship, recognition and reward. The South will never voluntarily grant us “full citizenship,” this will have te be forced upon them, and we are hopeful, too, that this present admin istration will now start the necessary machinery to work to bring about this result—just as it has recently functioned in averting the rail strike ‘The first step we suggest is the cutting down of Southern representa- tion in Congress. With the full sup- port of both branches of Congress the President can likely find means with which to attain this result. “Recognition” of the brave services of our men overseas, and “reward” for that service, has been noticeably withheld in the matter of Federal em- ployment. In many of the largest de- partments of the government here at Washington there is not to be seen a single man or woman clerk of color. Many have been known to qualify un- der the civil service, and to have been certified by the Civil Service Com- mission, but nevertheless were re- fused the positions because of their color. ‘These’ fueis are notorious. There is right now before President Harding a great opportunity to see that his hopes as respects “recogni- tion” and “reward” are fully realized. DR. GEORGE HERRIOT In listing the faculty of the Wash- ington College of Pharmacy last week, ‘Dr. H. C. Scurlock was given the ‘chair of Chemistry.

This timidity, however, veils a pretty adroit political wisdom, when it under takes to say beforehand, like the skeptical old lady did about ‘the big meetin’ *: ‘The preacher's comin but to tell the-truth, I ain’t expectin much of a meetin’.” The “preacher” has been here sinc March 4, but we, the followers th party of Lincoln, did expect a grea | “‘meetin’.” We expected to receiv |the recognition that is rightfully du us, but, as stated in a portion of th letter above; “the present occupan lof the seat of Lincoln, Roosevelt an [ener is indeed too timid.

We have only to watch the act ‘To the Editor: |The consecration and effectiveness of the Negro lawyer fighting the bat- tles of his race, and the mendacity which all too frequently characterizes ‘the conduct of the white men who publish newspapers received painted illustration by two incidents which have just taken place in this city. A few days ago a white man from Tennessee by the» name of George Roper is understood to have refiorted to the police that he and his wife had been assaulted and robbed by colored thugs on 14th St.,"N. W. Straight. way the white press appeared with its flaming headlines, one or two citi- zens associations passed resolutions denouncing what they characterized ‘as a crime wave in Washington, and ‘much was heard all over the city about Negro thugs and the like, The truth of the matter is that a cheap white man got the worst of a scrap which he himself started, and that fact was established to the satis- faction of the police department. Where were the headlines then? Not a newspaper in the city of Wash- ington had a word to say. In the Washington Post this morn- ing we find in the legal record a ref- erence to “Habeas Corpus Petitions. No. 910, In re Elizabeth Savage. At- torney George A. Taggart.” Taggart is a white man—of course, But what about No. 909? That was a habeas corpus ease. In re Bernice Williams, and our own Charles H. Hemans was the attorney? It appears.that as a result of some spite work, Bernice Williams and her sister were arrested, carried to the house of detention where not even the attorney employed by Ernest Williams, husband of Bernice, was al- lowed to see the girls, and this in spite of the fact that there was not a shred of authority for holding the girls. They were nice girls, living de- cent orderly lives and should never have been arrested, | Mr. Hemans drew a petition for a. writ of habeas corpus, filed it =e had both girls free and restored to| their home all in less than five hours. When Harry M. Gessford, Chief of police, and his minion, Edna Ohnston whose imprisonment of these girls was an outrage, received Mr, He- mans’ writ, they fell all over them-| selves turning them loose. But what | about the newspapers? They did not | print a line about this case. In the legal record where they published No. 908 and 910; where all the court news is supposed to appear, there was not a solitary line. Mr. Hemans is a graduate of the School of Law, Howard University. Yours truly, Se te Ne: To the Editor: Thave been asked a good many times, if I thought that the colored man would receive the same recogni- tion under this ‘administration, that he received under Roosevelt’s admin- istration. I wish to answer through the Columns of your valuable paper. I have been affiliated with the Re- publican Party since 1876, and I know some thing of its working. ‘The lead- ers of the party when they would hold their Star Chamber Meetings to prepare for a campaign, only spoke of the colored vote as a sure thing, and that it was not necessary to can- vass for his vote—which was true; for the colored man has always pro- ven true-and loyal to party and coun- try, but after the fight is over he was forgotten. As to political spoils, he |contented himself with the most me- nial places and contributed liberally to campaign funds. From the experience in the past compared with the present, the col- jored man kas been ignored by both |parties because they have failed to | show any independence in their voting land have failed to organize on inde |Bendent Bases as other races have | done. No sooner than the Democratic [party came into power, Mr. Wilson and his advisers entered upon a poli ley to eliminate all colored citizen: from representation in the Federal Government. The officers of the As sistant Attorney General, Recorder of Deeds, Register of the U. 8. Treasury | Auditor of the Navy, Minister + Hayti, Collector of Internal Revenue in N. ¥., Florida and the Hawaiian \Islands were vacated and filled by | white democrats. | Others who were dismissed are a: | follows: N. H. Alexander, Register o} \the Land Office, Montgomery, Ala; J. E. Bush, Receiver of Public Money Little Rock, Ark.; Henry W. Furness | Minister Envoy to Hayti; George H |Jackson, Consul General to France: James W. Johnson, Consul to Nicara gua; and Fred R. Moore, Minister t | Liberia, | ‘Taking in consideration the numbe |of colored employees dismissed under |the Democratic administration thei | salaries will foot up to nearly $4,000,. |000. These employees served under the Roosevelt administration. ‘The question is now, will the pres- ent administration restore the colored voters to their former recognition for their loyalty to party and country? We have only to watch the actions of this adininistration which will answer the whole question. In the near future, let us organize on independent bases and vote for men and measures and not feél bound to any particular party, and if necessary name our own ticket and vote for it in a block. In some of the Departments after the Executive heads were chosen, Democrats were allowed to hold over ‘with power to recommend those to be put out, and the colored employees were the first ones sought. We ex- pected that the heads of the Depart- ments would do as Mr. Wilson did, put out every available Democrat and organize under their own friends, Under the Democratic administra- tion the colored employees in some of the Departments were Jim Crowed or segregated and not allowed access to certain parts of the building in which they worked. I know of an order in the Forest Service demanding the colored messenger-girls to use only the toilet on the second floor and to keep their wraps in the same place; two of the girls resigned before they would submit to such an outrage. We can only wait and see what actions the present administration will take in these outrages named above. I feel safe in saying that if Col. Roosevelt were living today and Pres- ident of the U. S., such a state of affairs would be condemned by him, for he was a progressive man and be- lieved in justice to all—regardless of race or color. At his death the col- ored man lost his best friend.
