The Washington Tribune Lincoln Defeats Howard 13 to 7 All the News That's Fit to Print VOL. I, NO. 29 Linco FIERCE BATTLE STAGED ON MUD SOAKED FIELD Blue and White Team Unable To Break Up Forward Passes LOST MANY GOOD CHANCES Lincoln Showed More Class On Offensive Playing By H. Scott Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 24—Well, it is all over but the shouting. Amidst a steady downpour and a gridiron ankle deep in mud, the mighty Howard machine that we predicted would be returned winner by at least two touchdowns fell before the mightier aggregation from Lincoln here today by the score of 13 to 7. The score indicates it was a bitterly contested battle, and so it was. But for the first time in two season the locals were outplayed. Had the neld been fast we are at a loss to know what would have happened for the way Lincoln handled the wet ball was remarkable. While on the other hand, Howard's running attack, the chief reliance heretorefuse was unable to get started on the sloppy field. Howard's overhead attack was of no value against the alert secondary defense of the winners therefore only by plunges through the line could Howard advance the ball. There was a high spirit for both teams. The game was a hard and bitter struggle. In the first five minutes however, Howard not being acquainted yet with Lincoln's shift, she jabbed the lines, skirted around the ends, threw complete passes placing the ball for one first down after the other. The Lincoln victory was unexpected; it surprised the entire Lincoln University. After a whole season of success for Howard, Lincoln at least was expecting Howard to make about 3 touchdowns. Early in the first period the Penn-sylvanians on a series of off-tackle and end drives worked the pigskin from the center of the field to Howard's 18-yard line. A well executed pass from Law to Skinker netted the first touchdown an opponent has made against the Blue and White in two years. The psychological effect of this touchdown seemed to spur. Lincoln to hold what it had while it left the Howard players and supporters in a daze wondering and yet knowing how it happened. The Howardites soon struck their stride and in the second period in a number of line plays carried the ball within striking distance of the goal. A penalty for piling up by Lincoln placed the ball on the latter's one-yard line and Payne on the next play carried it over. Brooks did what Law had failed to do kicked goal. Score first half, Howard 7, Lincoln 6. This one point advantage looked good until early in the last period when the feature play of the day was made. Parr made a beautiful 20-yard toss of the oval into the waiting arms of Law who sprinted 25 yards for his team's second touchdown. McClain kicked goal. Following this play Payne brought the spectators to their feet with the longest run of the day a 58-yard dash from the kickoff. Howard rushed the ball to Lincoln's 10-yard line where a penalty for holding probably robbed them of a touchdown. Thereafter Lincoln played a smart defensive game and held the game perfectly safe. Law was the outstanding star both on offense and defense. He ended his football career at Lincoln by playing the greatest game of his career. Parr and Coston were able assistants in the (Continued on page 5) --- The Howard Team and some of the men who fought vainly to stave off defeat and the Lincoln Coach and one of his star backs.

The Ministers Alliance has designated Sunday, December 11, 1921, as a day for sermons upon Negro business; to advise greater support and interest in our Business institutions. This is an example of real constructive leadership. Our Ministers, who are in fact our real leaders, wield more influence with our people than anybody else could possibly do. Of such inestimable value we regard the Ministers' plan of a business man's Sunday—that we have taken the initiative to call together the business men and women at the Office of the Prudential Bank 1320 Yor Street, Wednesday Evening, December 7, at 8 o'clock to devise means to show the appreciation of the Business men and women, and how best to co-operate with the Ministers Alliance to make December 11, 1921 memorable as a Business Men's Day. All business people are urged to be at this meeting, as it is primarily their benefit that the Ministers are putting forth their efforts. Addison N. Scurlock, Raymond H. Murray, R. H. Harrison, J.

LINK JOHNSON TURNED DOWN BY U. S. SENATE Henry Lincoln Johnson, National Presidential appointee for the office of Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, failed of confirmation in the United States Senate again Tuesday night by an almost unanimous vote: only one Senator voting in his favor. Senator Tom Watson of Georgia made the principal fight on Johnson, basing the fight principally on the ground that "Link" has been convicted of embezzlement from a client and that he did not repay the money until July of this year. The charges aired before the Senate were not put into the record, as the Senate was in executive session; therefore what transpired behind the closed doors is not fully known. Up to the time of going to press, Mr. Johnson has made no statement as to his position. But it is generally thought by most of the local politicians that this adverse action by the Senate practically eliminates Johnson as a political power and it comes at a time in his life when he can little afford to receive such a defeat. SEEK SUPPORT FOR BILL AIMED TO FREE SOLDIERS A delegation called upon Representative Kahn, Chairman of the House Committee on Military Affairs, last Monday to ask him to give his support to the Anthony Bill, introduced in the House last Week, calling on the Secretary of War for information in regard to soldiers under sentence for participation in the Houston, Tex., riot in 1917. Representative Anthony is from Leavenworth, Kansas and his bill is aimed to open the way to the pardoning of the men of the 24th Infantry who are now incarcerated the Leavenworth prison. Many of these men are held in prison on very slight evidence and in most cases just for being absent from roll call on the night of the riot. The delegation calling on Rep. Kahn which was composed of Rev. E. D. W. Jones, Rev. Wm. Battle and Wm. O. Walker of The Tribune, was assured by Rep. Kahn that he would do all in his power to have the bill reported out favorably by his committee so that it could come before the house for action. Rep. Kahn spoke very favorably of the imprisoned soldiers and his statement clearly showed that he would favor the pardoning of these men. The delegation after its interview with Rep. Kahn, called upon Rep. Anthony of Kansas the author of the bill, and thanked him for his efforts on behalf of the men and assured him that the race would greatly appreciate what assistance he could give toward getting a pardon for them. He replied by saying that he thoroughly believed these men were convicted on insufficient—mainly circumstantial—evidence; and he desires to see all of them given their liberty. The bill as introduced by him fol- The bill as introduced by him follows: Resolution Resolved, That the Secretary of War is requested to transmit to the House of Representatives at the earliest possible moment the following information for the Members of the House: Whether the evidence before the court which tried those soldiers of the United States Army who were alleged to have been implicated in the riot at Houston, Texas, on the 23rd day of August, 1917, as a result of which nineteen were hanged, sixty- (Continued on page 8) Circulation Books Open To All PRICE 5 CENTS DR. WOODSON DEFENDS RACE AGAINST ATTACK OF WHITE PROF. Tells President of Randolph- Macon College Moton's Leadership False RAGE SEEKS CIVIL RIGHTS Speech Came as Climax to Most Successful Session in History Lynchburg, Va., Nov. 21—The sensation of the Sixth Annual Conference of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History which convened in Lynchburg last week, proved to be the address of Dr. E. B. Crooks, President of Randolph-Macon College, a white institution near Lynchburg. In his address, Dr. Crooks used the President's speech at Birmingham and endorsed the stand on the question of social equality and racial amalgamation recently taken by President Harding. Dr. Crooks advised the audience of nearly one thousand of the leading colored citizens of Lynchburg to "develop a self-respect" and to recognize the "impossible gulf that forever separates the Negro from the whites." "Every colored man or woman who cultivates a little flower garden and paints the fence in front of his home is helping the race by this visible evidence of self respect," continued the worthy Doctor. "Ask your leaders if I am not right on this score. Ask Dr. Moton. I am sure that he will agree with me." At the conclusion of the address as Dr. C. G. Woodson, Director of the Association rose to make reply, a breathless silence fell upon the great gathering. Speaking clearly slowly and in a most emphatic manner, the Director opened his remarks by stating first that he wanted to give Dr. Crooks a little information on the Negro question. He then proceeded to enlighten the worthy Doctor to the effect that neither President Harding or any other white man could speak for Negroes because they did not know what Negroes were thinking about; secondly, he stated very decidedly that neither was Robert Russia Moton in a position to speak for Negroes because his so-called leadership had long since been repudiated by all intelligent and self-respecting Negroes. "My dear Sir," continued Dr. Woodson, "you and all white men have the wrong conception of what Negroes mean by social equality. We are not seeking to marry white women, red women, yellow women, or any other color of women; but we do want to ride decently in a railroad train or street car when we come into your State of Virginia. We do want the right to go to the polls and exercise our constitutional right to vote and to hold office; we do want the privilege of sitting where we please in theatres, railroad stations and other places of public assembly. And for these rights the Negro intends to fight—until he dies." According to officials of the Association, the Conference which has just been concluded has been the most successful in the annals of the Association. Fully three thousand persons attended the various sessions during the two days of the Conference. Scholars and students of history, white and colored, assembled from all parts of the country to take part in the proceedings. Several prominent white Southerners were present, including Col. Robert T. Kerlin, who was recently dismissed from a professorship at the Virginia Military Institute because of a letter written in behalf of the Negroes who are under death sentence in Arkansas on account of alleged participation in the (Continued to Page 8) 2 THE ARMAMENT CONFERENCE II. By Herbert J. Seligmann (This is the second of a series of articles by the author of "The Negro Faces America," publicity director of The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People). Washington has become an international bargain counter. The agents of European governments and of the United States are there trying to arrange to make Asia, that is China and Siberia, pay for Europe's bankruptcy. Two of the chief European powers were not invited to Washington. They are Russia and Germany. The other governments, with the assistance of the United States, blockaded Russia and deprived her of the materials she needed to provide work for her people. Now famine and disease is laying waste vast territories in Russia and people are killing their own children to prevent their having to starve to death. Hordes of men, women and children are wandering in awful wretchedness over the Russian plains. This is what the governments of France and Great Britain aided by the Governments of Japan and the United States helped to do to Russia. They did it chiefly because French bankers wanted to be repaid the loans they made to the rotten despotism of the now departed Czar's government. Germany is burdened with an enormous indemnity which her people have to pay to the victors in the war. But those victors want to kill the cow for meat and still get milk from that cow. They, and especially France, want to crush Germany and still have her pay for the cost of war damages. What has all this to do with the Armament Conference? Simply this, that that part of Europe, namely Germany and Russia, which ought to be furnishing the world with vast stores of grain and other foods, which ought to be busy manufacturing its own products and exchanging them for the products of other countries, is rapidly becoming a hideous wreck. And so, instead of trying with every resource at their command to help Russia and Germany to their feet, the other governments of the world are looking for new fields to plunder. Those fields lie in China and Siberia. Before the great war even, almost every government of Europe had made inroads on China. Those inroads consisted in "concessions," or "spheres of influence" generally centering in some "treaty port." Great Britain in the Chinese city of Hong Kong and France in what is now called Indo China, acquired the right to have their own courts and even their own police and post offices. Germany had "leased" the city of Tsing-Tao in the province of Shan Tung and Japan during the war captured Tsing Tao and took over the lease which, translated into English means stole the territory. Japan had previously, after the Russo Japanese war, acquired Manchuria and half the island of Saghalin from Russia. Moreover, Japan rules over the Koreans. Every one of these robber governments kept protesting that they wanted the "Open Door" in China, which means that all citizens are to be accorded equal opportunities to trade there. In practice, however, each government made it practically impossible for the citizens of other governments to do business in its "sphere of interest." And so the scramble for concessions became keener and more intense. Any government whose bankers own the rights to a railway line any where in China, can control the territory adjacent to that railway line, whether the rails are laid or not. So the diplomats, the ambassadors and ministers, instead of being servants of the people in their countries, become agents of the bankers who exert control over the governments. And, in great part at least, the world is threatened with the disaster of further war, and the wiping out of civilization, because bankers are scrambling for railways in China. If proof were needed that our own Department of State acts as an agent for bankers, it could be found in the following paragraph from the New York Times of November 7, 1921. "China has failed to meet payments of principal and interest on the loan due the Continental and Commercial Trust and Savings Bank of Chicago, due to have been paid October 31. This default has created a very unfavorable impression in official and banking circles in the United States, as well as abroad, according to information obtained in an authoritative quarter tonight, and has been made the occasion of a sharp note from Secretary Hughes to the Peking Government, calling its attention most seriously to its responsibilities and obligations in the matter." The interest of the United States is involved in this scramble. This country too, has to look for new sources of raw materials and new markets to sell her goods in. Europe cannot buy from us. Europe is rotten with bankruptcy. I heard the other day of a ship captain who brought a cargo to New York from Scotland. He is taking his vessel back to Scotland empty. There are others like him. The United States has a good excuse for being interested in the Pacific Ocean. It now owns the Philippine Islands which are much nearer to Japan and China than they are to the United States. It does not want Japan to have that cable, center in the Pacific Ocean, the Island of Yap, or to take any part of the Pacific coast line of Mexico, or Central or South America.

Toil on; stand firm; weep strong; There are other complications. During the world war, Great Britain had a secret treaty with Japan. Japan's navy held down the German "commerce raiders" or war cruisers in the Pacific. Japanese war ships conveyed British troops. Japan was Great Britain's guaranty against revolution in India by keeping Great Britain's lines of communication open to the Far East. But now the war is over. Great Britain is grateful to Japan for her services but— But the United States government wants to know if the secret treaty between Great Britain and Japan is going to go on. Furthermore the British dominion of Australia, being nearer to Asia than to Europe is becoming apprehensive over the growing power of the "darker races," especially Japan. They are talking about a "white Australia" and are appealing to the United States to help them, or rather their government is. Great Britain therefore has not yet renewed the secret treaty with Japan, which has another year to run. The United States does not want it renewed, neither does Australia. Those objections are too powerful to be ignored—openly. Meanwhile, the French government is offering to play with the United States if the United States will "guarantee" France against Germany. In other words if we will help France to rob Europe, France will help us to rob China. This is a very brief statement of some of the considerations involved in the Armament Conference in Washington. What is the conclusion? That there will be more hideous war unless the following reforms are attempted: 1. Europe cleans house and European governments and the United States Department of State stop lying about Russia and help the Russian people to get to work producing food. 2. Public opinion forces international relations cut into the open, out of the hands of bankers scrambling for railroads in China, out of the hands of the agents of bankers, the old-school diplomats, into the hands of representatives of the people. One of the chief hopes of the world just now is H. G. Wells, the English novelist and historian who is reporting the Washington Conference for the New York World. Perhaps Mr. Wells can rouse public opinion so it will demand that the peoples of the world get together and make an end to bankers' power and the implements of bankers; armies and navies.

GROUND BROKEN FOR HAMPTON ATHLETIC FIELD GROUND BROKEN FOR HAMPTON ATHLETIC FIELD Hampton, Va., Nov.—Ground has been broken for the new athletic field of Hampton Institute. Graduates and former students are raising money to construct and equip this up-to-date field under the leadership of the Hampton Alumni Association, founded 43 years ago. Hamptonians everywhere are enthusiastic over the construction of the field, which will be one of the finest in the country. It will be equipped with grandstand, quarter-mile track, 220-yard straightaway, football and baseball fields. Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, and George J. Davis, Hampton 74, broke ground for the new field. E. L. Dabney, one of Hampton's football stars, loaded the first scraper. Representatives from the several R. O. T.

A NEW STORY WRITER Mrs. Birdie Gilmore of New York City was a recent visitor in the city as the guest of her aunt, Mrs. Eva D. Sims of 1218 R Street, N. W. Mrs. Gilmore is a writer. The April issue of The Billboard, a theatrical newspaper (white) which has the largest circulation of any theatrical paper in the world, published an article concerning this young colored woman. The article says: "Birdie Gilmore, a recently discovered literary genius, has written a most unique story for the Metro Company and also another well known corporation. The story is entitled, 'The Jungle God.' While the story is thrilling and filled with tense situations, these situations are so logically developed that it is an appeal to one's intelligence as well as to the emotions. It is invested with distinctly race atmosphere yet it contains no grounds for antagonism. This evidence of approval by two such discriminating concerns should pretty firmly establish Birdie Gilmore as a story writer." WAS THIS YOUR BOY? The other day a boy rushed into a cafe and said: "I want to be waited on!" "Just wait a minute there are others before you—" "I don't have to wait, I'll go down to the white man's store." Mothers, was this your boy? Are you teaching your child a bit of race pride along with a dash of personal pride, or are you just letting him drift along with no guiding hand upon his shoulder? This boy would not have been called a hoodlum but there are many so-called hoodlums who seem to have more-pride than those we are apt not to call hoodlums. Phone North 6554-W JOHN M.

Elson of Boston. Mr. deVore took the mat- ter in hand with such characteristic definiteness that the next issue con- tained several radical changes, in- cluding a very sympathetic tribute to the work of Coleridge Taylor, and a mention of a number of prominent contemporary Afro-American compo- sers. The progressive spirit Mr. de- Vore manifested prompted us to seek an interview with him on this subject. also with one of his associates in or- der to learn further regarding his musical activities in general. At the National Academy of Music, in Carnegie Hall, New York, the edu- cational foundation of which he is the president, he “was found surrounded yith a multitude of editorial projects which he had in hand and yet he is never too busy to stop and chat with any musician who comes in to consult with him. They seek his profession- al advice on almost every question under the sun: music teachers, col- lege presidents, supervisors with school music problems, the concert ar- tist with his hopes to attain and tan- gles to unravel, aspiring students, ris- ing composers.

It is the most extensive text-work on the Technic of Piano playing and the Interpretation of Music which has yet found its way into print, and it is rapidly becoming the standard basis of instruction and examination in studios; schools, con- servatories and colleges in all parts of the United States, It must have been a colossal task, These are only the high lights of an activity which has embraced a myriad of lesser pro- jects. Mr. deVore is an enthusiastic yachtsman and has frequently sailed over the whole length of Long Island Sound. He is a moving spirit in the Bayside Yacht Club and in his home community even to supplying the best choir in the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island in All Saints’ Church, Bay- side. He is also an active member of the City Club, of New York. He was recently asked by a promi- nent musical publication for his ad- vice as to drawing the color line in musical affairs. “I believe in draw- ing the color line,” he said, “I know of musie which contains lots of blue notes and purple chords written by folks who ought to know better. I know of some music which affects me avant like a red rag to a bull. There is some so-called music which tastes to me more like pink tea, and which lis written by greenhorns who think they are real ‘he-men.’ Many are the black marks for music writing which ought to go down against many otherwisely white men, and I can see only a gold star when I read the music of some men who otherwisely are called black men, but who to me are red-blooded and white-souled, whose music many musicians are too ‘yellow’ to risk championing. How- ever, in this also I am a little queer; [I judge a musician by the music that [comes out of him, not by what the music comes out of. I saw a little violin piece the other day by Clarence Cameron White which I was proud of; and often I find Harry Burleigh say- ing something of which many a snob- bish white man might be glad to have said, ‘Gee, I wish I had said that!"— as did Oscar Wilde of a line by Rus- kin, to which Whistler promptly re- plied, “Never mind, Oscar; you will, one day.’” “And when he played this little piece by. Clarence Cameron White,” his friend Roderick White, the violin- ist with whom he had played it, lat- ter added: “‘deVore said, my that 1s well done; I’d rather like to shake him by the hand and tell him so.” In the words of another of his associates: “This is the fearless attitude of a man who is bound by no superstitions or prejudices, who is beloved by all those who know him intimately—and is almost hated by some of those who know him but slightly, or who are not strong enough to stand the truth, even though they know his unselfish effort to help them and others is the big outstanding feature of his career. But his friendliness is by no means confined to his friends, and all alike Rg BR aR Pe Ne a ae THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE.

Whereas, With our limited ‘know! edge of the plans of God, we fail at times to fully comprehend the pur- poses of the sorrows with which we ave iafitetads and. A call is issued for a meeting of race leaders and representatives of race organizations at Washington, D. C., Thursday and Friday, December 8 and 9, 1921. ‘The object of this meeting is to call the attention of the Arms Con- ference to the-world-wide disabilities under which we as a people suffer. We all remember the strenuous but unsuccessful efforts that were made by the various Negro organizations in America to have their representatives attend the World’s Peace Conference held at Versailles, France, about two years ago, No one was able to go ex- cept Mr. Trotter, who finally succeed- ‘ed in reaching the Conference by act- ‘ing as a cook on the liner Yarmouth and traveling without a passport. Wow in the Providence of God a ‘world conference, which promises far more successful results than came from the Versailles meeting, is in ses- ‘sion right at our very door. | ‘The Jews have already arranged tc have their grievances stated and to ‘ask for relief because of the proscrip- ‘tion under which they suffer through- ‘out the entire world. Shall we, as a people, who far outnumber the Jews in the world, allow this God-sent op- portunity to pass from us unim. ‘proved? Let us come together at ‘Washington on December 8 and 9, 1921, and lay our cause before the delegates of this Arms Conference. It is an opportunity which has never been given to us before and let us be broad enough to mention not merely the difficulties under which the Ameri- can Negroes suffer but let us also plead for our brethren in Africa, who are under European control and in ‘the islands of the sea, and who are completely barred from Australia. "In South Africa under British rule, | the Necroes are compelled to walk in Whereas, The hand of violence seems to fall indiscriminately and with equal force upon the good and true as upon the evil and untrue; and, Whereas, Our hearts are often sad- dened by the trials through which we are called to pass and the bright stin of hope seems hidden from our view by the dark clouds of depression; and, Whereas, We may not now realize why the beautiful life of Marjory Griffith Evans, which was yet in the full bloom of early womanhood and fraught with bright prospects of fu- ture happiness, was permitted to be so suddenly and sadly terminated, and, Whereas, We may not clearly under- stand why destroyers of life and ctil- minators of innocence and virtue are permitted to escape just and merited punishment; yet be it Resolved, That the mysterious ways of God are past finding out and that all He does is for the best. Resolved, That we, having full faith in the ultimate supremacy of right- eousness and justice and in the ful- fillment of the promtises of God, be- lieve that the determination of a life so gentle and exemplary as we know was that of Marjory Griffith Evans, was but God's plan to take her from the trials and vicissitudes of this life into a grander and more glorious life with Him. Resolved, That we, the companions of her youth, fellow members of her chureh, her associates and friends, keenly feel our loss, but bow in hum- ble submission to the will of God, not- withstanding that we know her life was pure and her reputation and vir- tue untarnished, Resolved, That as God has said that “Vengeance is mine,” He will in His own time mete ont full punishment to all evil doers and to Him we leave our cause.

By Jay Bee “Mephisto’s Revue of 1921” is the “handle” of this week’s attraction at the Howard which opened to an un- usually appreciative audience | last Sunday night. ‘The production is of- fered in two parts, both of which are brimful of good lines, clean jokes, some “cuss-stuff” and some tunes that we have heard here some time ago in a show that could easily be a step-cousin of this week’s offering. In some instances, they are “split- ting images.” There is an olio in which there are a number of special- ties offered. A chorus of well-costumed girls sing and dance fairly well, but there is a conspicuous absence of the pep and ginger, that we have been so ac- customed to seeing from our own bronzed “beauties of the footlights.” The dance numbers, though simple, were very gracefully executed, An airplane number and several numbers are also specialty bits that had been witnessed here on several occasions, but the girl, singing as she soars above the audience, has an ex- cellent voice and she uses it to a remarkable advantage. She was re- called several times. Robert Sand- berg, Gene Rauth, Frank Lambert, Flo Carter, Flo Ward, Ert Hunt and Madeline LaFaire are the principals. ‘The fun department is ably taken care of Ert C. Hunt, who staged the show. He is assisted by Gene Rauth, who is also a possessor of a remarka- ble voice. This pair are real laugh makers, They kept the audience hys- terical as they unloaded their several Football & Sports bags of jokes, some of them old and some of them new. BLACK FACE COMEDIANS ARE FAST BECOMING OBNOXIOUS SIGHTS Many Patrons will Accept them on ‘Their Face Value Not so jong ago, while witnessing a vaudeville bill, consisting of about six acts, each of which included at least one burnt cork or black face ar- tist, the writer, seated within hearing distance of two patrons, heard them freely express themselves upon’ the monotonousness of some of the enter- tainments that are being offered by some of our black-face comedians of today. According to one of the pa- trons, there are entirely too many acts that are alike. At any rate, after much jabbering, they finally agreed that black-face comedians, playing to colored audi- ences, are rapidly becoming obnox- ious. One of the critics said, “If it is possible for some of our colored performers to entertain persons of the other race who regard us as be- ing grotesque enough without being required to smear up our faces, why then can’t we accept our own per- formers upon their ‘face’ value?” THE BLAZING TRAIL PACKS THE JEWEL Frank Mayo, in the “Blazing Trail, an interesting story of life in a moun. tain wilderness, was the feature at- traction at the Jewel Theatre last Sunday evening. _ Notwithstanding the early opening hour that is an- nounced for Sunday, it was neces- sary to run several extra shows to accommodate anxious patrons, Many persons, who live in other see- tions of the city are regular patrons of the Jewel and judging from the class of photo-play features that are offered there by Mr. Wiley Davis, the ‘general manager, they are well re paid for their trouble. Mr. Davis ‘came to this city a few years’ ago ‘and has had quite a successful car- ‘cor. He is widely popular in frater- ‘nal circles, He is ably assisted by his ‘son, who is an efficient projectionist and a student at the Armstrong Man- ‘ual Training School. : EDGAR MARTIN'S PLAYERS HOLD FORTH AT FORAKER Edgar Martin’s Joyland aggregation according to Foraker patrons, is one of the most versatile group of en- tertainers that has struck Wash- ington for a long time, They have completely taken the Foraker by storm. Leon Diggs, the. silver-toned tenor is one of the latest additions. Edgar’s Joyland Girls are ond of the featured attractions at the Big “Af- ter Thankagivine” Dance. St. Paul defeats St. Augustine Lawrenceville, Va., Nov. 10—In one of the hardest fought, cleanest and most thrilling gridiron battles of the year, St. Paul Normal and Indus- trial School defeated St. Augustine’s ‘ool, her greatest opponent, here to- aay, by the score of 7 to 0. Wilberforce defeats Ky. State Normal By Tommy Wricht Wilberforce, Ohio.—Using a be- wildering aerial attack intermingled with trick formation and straight football, Wilberforce defeated the rugged Kentucky State Normal eleven by a score of 38 to 7. ‘The game was played in a drizzling rain on a soggy field, and perfect footing was well nigh impossible, but despite that, many thrilling and hu- morous incidents were furnished, with both teams sharing the honors of be- ing the “goat.” Wilberforce’s green jerseys were identical with those of Kentucky and this greatly helped to confuse the players; on more than one occasion the quarterbacks of both teams de- liberately threw forward passes into the waiting arms of their rivals and in each instance the player who caught the ball would dash down the field for twenty or thirty yards, only to be viciously tackled from the rear in a sea of soft mud, which would splatter and bring forth wild shouts, hearty laughter and applause from the 2,000 spectators. “Red” Garvin played the game of his life for Wilberforce during the first half and appeared to be the only one able to gain .consistently. The entire team played together like clock work. Leading in the attack were Huff, the dashing fullback who last year was starring at Fisk, Mumford, Hurd and Sedwick.

Recall past Christmas seasons and the presents you gave or received. What remains of them now beyond a fond but fading memory? Reflect upon the past; THEN CONSIDER THE PRESENT AND FUTURE. What can you give that will be a permanent benefit? eee ae FOOD AND RAIMENT? They melt and vanish as the Christmas snow before the vernal sun. — DIAMONDS AND JEWELRY? You invite the attention of thieves and robbers thus burdening yourself and your loved ones with constant fear. Even an INSURANCE POLICY as sane a gift as that is generally considered, finds its fruition in disaster to loved ones and its joy is wet with tears. But here is a gift free from all these disadvantages; a Gift that is permanent, a Gift that is profitable, a Gift that is worthy, a Gift that is SECURE. Given to your wife it will safeguard her against the day when illness or misfortune may rob her of your support; To your children it will prove the strength and joy of maturer years; To your parents it will become a sustaining prop of age; And last but not least, to YOURSELF it will be an ever increasing heritage.

In some future age it may be. Now it will not be,—not quite dis-armament. Yet even now there may be a lessening, a limitation, of armaments. And so far as that goes it will be so much relief. Does the citizen realize that every time he pays one dolalr to this gov- ernment, eighty-eight cents of it goes as tribute or as a sacrifice to War? Every time our “billion dollar govern- ment” spends a billion, eight hundred and eighty millions of the sum go into the mouth of Mars. What, then, if we got rid of war and all its exactions? It may help us on the road toward the Golden Age of Peace, if we will but think over what would be our blessed state if only we could arrive, If the United States of America could be rid of its war burdens, the following three things could be done and happen all at once: 1. The salaries and wages of all Federal officers and employees could be doubled, from the President on down to the janitor of the post office at Slocum, Alabama. All the tens and tens of thousands of government employees could get just twice as much pay. All the sinecurists might get twice as much “easy money” and all the grafters twice as much graft. For every dollar that is now wasted, two dollars might be wasted, and mail thieves and other thieves might steal just twice as much: and yet’ 2. TAXES COULD BE CUT HALF IN TWO. People who now pay a thousand dollar Federal tax, could pay only five hundred; and people who pay fifty dollars, could pay twenty- five; and yet 3. The Federal Government would have more money than it could use or know what to do with. For every dollar spent, wasted and stolen, there would be another dollar added to the burdens of the treasury department. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1921 And the most serious financial prob- Jem before the Congress would be, what to do with the extra money. ‘This extra money could give every child in the United States an educa- tion from the kindergarten thra the university. And yet all this is not going to happen, ‘not soon,—for our fathers have been so selfish that they have burdened us with the costs of past wars; and we, sons of our fathers, are so selfish that we burden ourselves and mortgage the life of our posteri- ‘ty by the threat of future wars. And yet it is well to consider what ‘might have been and what may be ‘The vision may gradually lead us on. | eee 60.

The Cake Walk Noble Sissle, one of the principals in “Shuffle Along” company, gives some light on the cake walk. He says the cake walk is a dance of the ante bellum days, its steps are a cross between a shamble and a strut. ‘The modern eake walk is grace, poise sup. pleness, devoid of suggestive and in delicacy. In olden times, there was more dig- nity. It was more of a walk or prom. enade. ‘The cake walk was first featured in a show entitled “South Before the War” in 1900. Then Luke Reilly anc Ben Butler produced it for Power and Kennedy at Madison Square Garden (N. Y.). It proved a riot. It became the rage of America and was introduced in all attractions. Wil- liams and Walker with Ada Overtor featured it. New York and London society took it up being first intro- duced by Hill’and Hill who toured the world, billed as the champion cake walker.

Leslie Frazier THE PRIZE WINNERS Please write all communications plainly, giving your name, age, address and school class. Address your letters to "Children's Page, The Washington Tribune, Washington, D. C." Winners' names appear two weeks after puzzles appear and the answers are always given the following week after the puzzles appear. If you answer only one question in history or solve one puzzle, send it in. Five moving picture theatre tickets are given away every week. Two to the "Honor Child" (the child sending in the greatest number of correct answers) and one each to the three children sending the next highest number of correct answers. Call at the Tribune office for your tickets. When a child has ever become an "Honor Child" his or her name will be preceded by a star whenever the name appears again on this page. PRIZE WINNERS "Honor Child": Annette E. Hawkins. "Specials": *Mary A. Thomas; Doris H. Tuckson, *Olga Beckwith. Remarks I am glad so many children send in solutions. Keep it up. There are several who send in answers each week but who fail to reach the goal. I must compliment them for their sincere attempts and their determination. I hope you will soon become "Honor Children" or "Specials." Don't lose courage. The race is to those who plod and have faith. Through the last letter from *Mary Thomas, our first "Honor Child," I find she is a 9-A grade scholar at Junior High instead of 4-A as stated November 5. I apologize, little lady. I would suggest that you keep a copy of the answers you send in to the Page. LETTERS FROM OUR LITTLE FRIENDS Dear Editor: My name is Annette Hawkins. I am 13 and in first year High.

THANKSGIVING I thank, Thee, oh, God, for the pride that I have; A pride that is honest and true: A pride in myself for being myself, Because being myself pleases you. You made me a NEGRO and bid me go forth And face scorn and ill-treatment and death; I smiled at my birth—you bid me smile— And I'll smile when you fan out my breath. Via adoption—AMERICAN you made me; Planted in me the cry "Liberty"—Conceived in bondage and in chains. 4. I will be proud I am a Negro because God made me so, and, being a Negro, I will do all I can to add honor to my people. The names of members will be published in groups of twenty. Each week a post card talk will appear here by some prominent Negro. That is, a message sent on a postal will be printed.

There was once a ragged, unlettered boy of our race who trudged many miles and appealed to Hampton Institute for a chance to learn. This boy was Booker T. Washington. There was another boy who used to listen to the conversation of others and who gathered papers out of the gutters and learned to read before he entered a small school. He was Richard Banneker. Another had ran away from a master who held him in bondage. He went to England and worked and bought his freedom. He learned many things by self help. This boy was Frederick Douglass.

Then girls, there was Sojourner Truth, who had a powerful belief in God and common sense will-power. Today all scholars of Race history know how this unlettered woman has endeared herself in the traditions of her people. All these people had far less sources of encouragement than you. They had no black people of modern times to look backwards to for inspiration. They had less of everything than the youngest or the poorest of our readers. They were born in bondage with no legal right to an education. Some of them had absolutely nothing but will-power and it carried them on to the top of the ladder of renown. If such could be obtained by these Negroes who had such limited opportunities and such meager circumstances, such handicaps of social condition and enslaved servitude, and absolutely no encouragement and no inspiration, what can not a present day boy or girl do, who has schooling and opportunities practically thrust upon them? I'm not saying every boy can become a Washington or a Dunbar or a Douglass or every girl a Phyllis Wheatley or Sojourner Truth but he or she can become something better than a pool shark, a street vamp, a loafer or a mere digger-in-the-ditch. Read about your race; you can't afford to neglect school or your studies nor never read your Bible. You can't be negligent in regards to the care of your body, your clothes, your manners, nor your ideals. Don't be satisfied with being what mother or father is—go 'em one better. Worthy of Mention Fifty years ago the Maori's, of New Zealand, were savages and frequently had cannibalistic feasts. Today several members of their race have won seats in the New Zealand Parliament, and Maori women, as well as the white women of New Zealand, exercise the right to vote. Do not use the word "nigger." ```markdown ``` $17.50 to $21.98 $2.75 to $3.75 $5.49 to $7.50 --- PALMER'S NEW FIRE-PROOF GARAGE THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 26, 1921 904 ROBERT H.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE, OUT OF TOWN $2.00 PER YEAR HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON'S EXAMPLE any will be the regrets expressed for the failure of "Link" season to be confirmed by the Senate at its executive session today afternoon. "Link" has no one to blame but himself. Henry Lincoln Johnson had an opportunity that few colored people ever had. He successfully worked himself into a union hitherto unheld by a colored man—National Commerian of a state. In this position he had the opportunity either colored man has had; for when Mr. Johnson eschewed his office on Pennsylvania Avenue, following the last fall, he announced that he was not seeking a local position but only wanted to serve his race; that he going to labor to secure legislation that would cure some ills his race suffered. This was a laudable purpose and the sympathy and loyal support of his countrymen, who are ready to proclaim him their leader. Therefore, in the face of this announcement, when President Eisenhower sent in his name for Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia, he should have promptly asked the President withdraw his name—if, as he announced at the time, nomination "came as clap of thunder from a clear sky." And Johnson withdrawn his name when it was first预设 he would have demonstrated worthiness for leadership. Had of doing the big thing, by being so anxious for the job, was brought shame upon his name, humiliation upon his and children, and disgrace upon the race. For a Colored political leader to be turned down by the United States Senate because of being charged with embezzlement is a heavy blow to the race. For Johnson to have perished that matter to be aired in the Senate of the United States, was the height of folly on his part. Johnson has proven to be simply a "political stevedore," stands out as a concrete example of the character of political leadership the race should frown upon. He is hoped that our future aspirants for political leadership profit by "Link's" errors and failures. PALMER'S NE STEAM HEATED ROBERT H.

MASONIC CLUB Six Course Dinner, Music and Felicitous Speeches Feature an Enjoyable Evening Saturday evening, Nov. 19th, the Goodfellows' Club, composed of a group of young men who were recently elevated to the degree of Master Masons, were hosts at an elaborate and enjoyable dinner given at the residence of one of their Craftsmen, Bro.

Preceding the dinner and during the arrival of the guests, there were selections on the Victrola and smokes. When the last guest had arrived the chairman of the Club led the way to the dining room where all sat down a very delectable dinner. Between the courses, several impromptu speeches were listened to. Each speaker remarked upon the exquisite taste with which the affair had been arranged and gave expression to a keen appreciation of the spirit of "peace and harmony" which prevailed. The Worshipful Master, Bro. Raymond J. Weir, was especially felicitous in his remarks, and struck a responsive chord when he gave expression to his sincere appreciation of the wholehearted support which had been given him by the young craftsmen present and assured them that always he would hold in fondest recollection the memory of the spirit of good fellowship so prevalent on this memorable occasion. The dinner was prepared by Mrs. Fannie Moore, the charming wife of Bro. Moore, assisted by Mrs. Martha Fletcher and Mrs. Mattie Jeffres and was voted by all present a superior achievement of the culinary art. Bro. Carl J. Spigener, the amiable and popular chairman of the Club, together with his fellow members, spared neither pains nor expense in making the affair the brilliant success that it was, and deserved the congratulations bestowed upon them by all the guests. Tribune Gives Returns The Tribune's special message at the end of the first half, giving the score 7 to 6 in favor of Howard, was mistakenly taken by some as the final score of the game. This The Tribune regrets, exceedingly. However, the real fans knew that the game could not have been over at the time this information was given out. The Tribune had the returns in Washington within 10 minutes after the completion of each half. IF IT'S A HOUSE CONSULT W. H. TUCKER REAL ESTATE 1732 Fourteenth St., N. W. Phone North 4938.
