Washington Tribune

The Washington Tribune PRESS COMMENTS REFLECT TREND OF PUBLIC THOUGHT ON LINK JOHNSON'S FAILURE All the News That's Fit to Print Vol.I.No.31 Georgian's Change from his Original Ideal Hurt Him Greatly The news of the rejection by the U. S. Senate on November 23rd of Henry Lincoln Johnson for Recorder of Deeds has spread to all four corners of the earth; and column after column of comments have been written by various writers. While the sentiment expressed by these writers has been varied and in some cases vague, the general tone of the majority of them has been outspoken and straight to the point. The comments in the papers have taken two divergent views: the liberal press has taken the stand that "Link" Johnson's career as a politician is about ended and that the Republicans are trying to show to the race through him that they are tired of civility on the part of the Negro voters, especially since the G. O. P. has dreams of a breaking up of the "Solid South." The New York Amsterdam News goes straight to the real cause of Johnson's failure when it says; "It is said that Mr. Johnson's confirmation was opposed by the Georgia Democratic Senators. Perhaps it was, but that would not have prevented his confirmation by the Republican majority of the Senate if they had wanted to confirm the nomination." The Atlanta Independent which was the original Johnson supporter, also places the blame on the Republicans instead of the Democrats when it says, "The sub-committee from the committee of the District of Columbia reported Mr. Johnson a clean bill of health—the charges failed for the want of proof; and for the Senate in the light of this report, to say that Mr. Johnson was rejected because of 'senatorial courtesy,' is too far-fetched for honest men to believe." The Norfolk Journal and Guide believes, "The Republican majority turned down the nomination because Mr. Johnson has made himself offensive to them and to the members of the National Committee"; while The Pittsburgh Courier takes the other view and says, "The Courier takes it for granted that the Republican senators would have confirmed Johnson had not Senator Watson objected, and insisted upon being showered with senatorial courtesy." It seems to be the conviction of all, however, that the wrath of the race will be visited upon the Republicans and their leader, President Harding. The Wilmington Advocate says, "Republicans—Congressmen and Senators, you will have to get a better excuse than 'Senatorial courtesy' before the congressional elections of 1922;" while The Atlanta Independent goes further and says, "The explanation is too thin. Nobody believes it—the country will not accept it; and it is the duty of the electors next November to vote the Democratic ticket or any other ticket to defeat such treachery in the U. S. Senate." The Chicago Whip sees a ray of hope in the defeat of "Link," as it says, "The defeat of a man of the type of Henry Lincoln Johnson, while it effects his brothers and sisters, also awakens stern qualities of courage in the breasts of clean and faithful black men." The Whip also in discussing Johnson's supposed headquarters here for Legislative relief says, "Johnson's attitude convinced the members of his race that he was seeking a job for himself more than relief for his people." The Amsterdam News in discussing the same headquarters recalls that Johnson, Perry Howard and Bob Church all stated "that neither of the trio wanted any office." The News also points out that both "Mr. Johnson and Mr. Howard accepted appointments and thus weakened their influence in the content they started out with." As further proof that "Link" was slipping, the News points out that "Mr. Johnson is National Committeeman for Georgia only in name"; and the St. Louis Argus admits that "it is true that 'Link' does not represent the best type of Published Weekly HOWARD UNIVERSITY RECEIVES HIGHEST RECOGNITION Swathmore College, Pa.—At the thirty-fifth annual convention of the Association of Colleges and Preparatory Schools of the Middle Atlantic States and Maryland at Swathmore College, Friday, November 25, announcement was made by the Commission on the Accrediting of Higher Institutions, composed of some of the foremost educators in America, of the approved list of colleges and universities in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and the District of Columbia, Fifty-nine of the Middle State colleges and universities were placed on the list, including Howard University at Washington, D. C. NEW TRIAL IS GRANTED BOWIE NEW TRIAL IS GRANTED BOWIE Chief Justice McCoy Granted New Trial on Last Saturday Morning Through the efforts of the Attorneys for Wm. A. Bowie and James Frye, a new trial has been granted them by Chief Justice Walter McCoy. The argument on the motion filed for a new trial at the time of conviction, after the first trial, was based on the grounds of the trial judge failing in his charge to the jury to instruct the jury that the presumption of innocence was to be considered by them as evidence and the same to be in favor of both defendants. The date for the new trial has not as yet been set because of a crowded docket. Both men are still confined in the District Jail. PROE: THOMAS TO SPEAK Prof. Neval H. Thomas, professor of history at Dunbar High School, will speak at Galbraith A. M. E. Zion Church, Sixth street, N. W., between L and M, Sunday night, December 11, 1921 at eight o'clock. AMERICAN NEGRO ACADEMY TO HOLD MEETING The twenty-fifth annual meeting of American Negro Academy will be held in this city; Tuesday and Wednesday, December 27 and 28. The evening sessions will be held in Rankin Memorial Chapel, Howard University, and programs of unusual interest will be presented. The public is invited. upstanding Negroes of the Race." Many editors point out that Henry Lincoln Johnson is now at the end of his career, as are other politicians of his class. The Philadelphia Tribune says, "And now, as Henry Lincoln Johnson retires from the political leadership of his people, that same people will demand recognition of the better and stronger young men now forging to the front, not alone in the Republican party, but in all the great political units." The Norfolk Journal and Guide remarks that "As the National Committee has also deprived Mr. Johnson of all the honor and influence of his membership it would appear that he has reached the end of his political career, which has been stormy from start to finish." Many papers like the Chicago Whip are asking the question, "Whom will Harding appoint in the place of the pitiable Johnson?" Just what will be the next move on the part of the Administration or of those who desire to see "Link" "taken care of" is not known. Since Congress convened this week in regular session, some definite action from one side or the other in regard to the matter is expected. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1921 Rank Discrimination and Injustice Frelinghuysen Law School Gets Library Much Needed Addition to Institution is Gift of Faculty The faculty of the Frelinhuysen University Law School has recently organized a Library, which will be opened as soon as the sets of books that have been contributed shall have been received. The collection consists of a set of Corpus Juris, aided and supported by several volumes of "Cyc." Corpus Juris is the latest set of Law Encyclopedia on the market. The set is worth at least three hundred dollars. The law students are also making an effort to purchase some books that are much needed in the school. Just what the student body will be able to contribute to the library is not known at this time, but many of them are strongly in favor of purchasing a set of Decisions of the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia. The law school, under the leadership of Dean L. M. King and his efficient corps of excellent workers, has made wonderful progress since its beginning. A recent investigation of the discriminations practiced against the colored employees of the Canal Zone, by Dr. Matthew Anderson, a prominent race educator and publicist, of the city of Philadelphia, revealed a condition of affairs so unjust and deplorable, that proper steps should at once be taken to remedy the situation. Dr. Anderson made a number of trips to the zone, going its whole length, interviewing numerous persons on the subject of discrimination, officials and laymen, colored and white and submitted his report to Hon. George S. Graham, a member of Congress from Pennsylvania. Some of the statements contained in the report of Dr. Anderson show that the employees on the zone are divided into two classes; classified as gold and silver, gold meaning all citizens of the United States, silver all non-United States citizens. A plain description of the classification of the two groups of employees, is that the terms of gold and silver are practically synonymous with the words white and colored. The commissaries—places managed by the United States Government for the sale of foodstuffs and clothing to the canal employees—are likewise classified. Silver employees cannot make purchases in a gold commissary, unless they are servants of gold employees, and they are segregated even for this to a small space, the goods being handed to them from the various departments of the store by clerks in charge. It is also a fact that the silver commissaries are the recipients of all unsold stock of leftovers of the gold commissary. But the same price is asked for the inferior goods that the gold employee pays for the fresh and better grade of provisions. The living quarters are usually frame, built two stories high cottage style, the dimension being 72 by 45, intended for the use of four families in a gold town, with no rent; but a building of the same dimensions in a silver town is intended for twelve families, and then it is at times without any plumbing, and if any plumbing, it is inadequate. These quarters are leased to the silver employees at the rate of $5 per family per month, netting $60 a month against not one cent of rent for the gold quarters. As to wages the same discrimina- LIEUT. KEY BESCIES MAN Lieut. George B. Key of No. 4 Engine Company, at great risk of his own life, rescued George E. Rennie, an employee in a diary building at the southwest corner of Ninth street and Pennsylvania Avenue, N. W., early last Sunday morning. In removing the unconscious man from the building Lieut. Key had to force his way down the ladders because the stairways were a mass of flames. Owing to the quick work of the firemen, the fire was practically confined to the fourth floor of the building. J. Silas Johnson Dies by Own Hand Brooded over Money Matters Is General Belief of his Friends J. Silas Johnson, aged 49 years, familiarly known among his friends as "Pap Silas," according to reports, shot and killed himself last Tuesday morning, at his late home, 622 M street, northwest. "Pap" was well-known in sportin and fraternal circles. For many years he conducted a pocket-billiar parlo on Seventh street, near S street. It was here at this place that he presented some of the greatest pocket-billiar experts of the country at annual tournaments. Why Mr. Johnson should have snuffed out his life in this manner is a matter of wide discussion among his friends, because it was generally known that he was well-fixed financially and he was the owned of much real estate in the northwest section of the city. However, many of his closest friends admit that for the past several weeks, he has been unusually despondent. He leaves two sisters and two brothers to mourn their loss. Funeral services held Thursday from Newman's undertaking establishment. tion appears. A gold employee is paid from 90 cents to $1.50, pays nothing for transit to and from his work. A colored employee doing the same work, is paid but 23 cents to 31 cents per hour; he must pay for his transit to and from work and is allowed no holidays except these purely legal. If gold and silver employees are detailed to do work at a distance, the white employee is paid for his time during transit, but the colored employee is not. The United States post offices do not escape this practice of discrimination. There is not a post office on the Zone from Cristobal on the Atlantic end, to Balboa Heights on the Pacific end, a distance of 50 miles, where a colored employee can purchase a stamp at the same window a white employee makes his purchase. There are ten Y. M. C. A.'s on the Zone, established and directed by the government. Since the recent war these have been converted into community club houses—five white and five colored. The white secretaries are paid from $200 to $350 per month, while the colored secretaries are paid from $112.50 to $150 per month. The white club houses are better equipped than the colored club houses, but rarely show a balance at the end of the month, yet the colored club houses are self supporting. Discrimination runs rampant in the schools. The white schools are well equipped and regulated, carrying a child through the elementary and high school grades. The schools provided for the colored employees' children are limited to the elementary grades. As a climax to the investigation carried on by Dr. Anderson, was the interview with Governor Morrow of the Canal Zone. When the above cited facts were brought to the attention of the Governor by Dr. Anderson, the Governor replied: "Why Dr. Anderson, there is no discrimination on the Canal Zone between the white and colored employees but what can be shown to be perfectly wise and just." Now that the Harding administration is confronted with the situation on the Canal Zone, a condition that has existed for a number of years, there is hoping that proper authority will be exercised to remedy a damnable situation. SCURLOCK ADDS NEW WINDOW The Scurlock Photographery at the corner of Ninth and U Streets, N. W. has added another display window to their already spacious display group. The new window is now used for the Cameras and sundry supplies, of which he has a large supply for the Xmas trade. Through some novel advertisements well placed, Mr. Scurlock's business for Christmas has increased greatly. The quality of work turned out from this studio has gained a national pre-eminence.

Admission by invitation. FASHION SHOW GREAT SUCCESS Richly Gowned Models Displayed the Season's Latest Fashions By Jay Bee It is needless to say that those who were not present at the Mid-Winter Fashion Show of Advanced Styles, held at the Murray Casino, last Wednesday evening will long have much for which to be regretful. Under the direct supervision of Mme. Belle Becks Cofer of New York City, world-famed draper and designer of fine wearing apparel for women, assisted by an able and ample corps of well-trained, attractive looking mannequins, an appreciative audience, representative of fashionable Washington, witnessed an exceptionally wonderful exhibition of the latest creations of New York and Paris. All the handiwork of the deft fingers of colored women. That there has never been any such exhibition before in this city, is an assertion that is positively indisputable. Tripping lightly to the entrancing strains of Elmer Snowden's Jazz, twenty cleverly gowned mannequins, including "stouts," "leans," and "thins" attired in raiment fit for a queen, were relentlessly applauded by a comfortably seated audience, as they promenaded across the floor holding their heads as stately as the proudest peacocks. The principal feature of the evening was the draping and making, in plain view of all, an exquisitely designed evening gown of white silk, trimmed in silk lace and pearls upon the figure of Mrs. Mortimer F. Smith of New York City, formerly of Washington. This remarkable feat was accomplished by Mme. Cofer in less than thirty minutes. Little Miss Rice aged 7, of Baltimore, charming little "kiddekin" and Mrs. C. Wayne, aged 65, of New York City, gowned in gray brocade satin, trimmed with fur, presented a pleasing contrast. The head-gear worn by the models consisted of cleverly tailored hats of the latest creations from the shops of Mme. Blanche, Washington's widely popular milliner. According to the promoters of the exhibit, the show was not held for peculiary gain, but principally to arouse the interest of the women of Washington in a prospective race movement, that they might become instrumental in establishing a ready-to-wear house in this city. It is earnestly hoped that Washington will be favored again with another elaborate exhibit. The mannequins were: Mrs. Mortimer F. Smith, New York and Washington; Miss A. L. Ross, D. C.; Mrs. M. P. Heath, D. C.; Miss Gertrude D. Ross, D. C.; Mrs. L. Price, Orange, N. J.; Miss Alwilda McLain, Camden, S. C.; Miss Vera Spratley, Newark, N. J.; Mrs. C. Wayne, N. Y., Mrs. B. F. Oney, Baltimore; Miss Vivian Brent, D. C.; Miss Betty Jones, D. C and Miss Georgia Davis, Hartford Conn. Circulation Books Open To All PRICE 5 CENTS Many Items of Vital Interest To Tribune Readersare Listed in Budget Under the regular procedure and according to custom, the District Commissioners have sent to Congress, the estimate of money needed for the next fiscal year, beginning July 1st. The Commissioners are asking appropriations totaling $25,570,876. The list covers everything from the salary of the judiciary to janitors' supplies at the Insane Asylum. Tucked however, in this voluminous report are many items of special interest to The Tribune's readers. Increased sums are asked for many of our institutions for maintenance as well as for salaries. Many additions to the public schools are asked for in the report. One of the largest items asked for outside of the schools and hospitals, is $29,500 for a bath house and bathing beach. The Tribune early last summer called the public's attention to the necessity of organizing to get a decent bathing beach and succeeded in having a committee of prominent citizens call at Col. Sherrill's office in reference to the matter. Little or no information could be obtained as to anything definite, however. The report shows, though, that the District Commissioners have decided upon some procedure and are asking Congress for the money with which to carry it out. The proposal is to construct a bathing beach and a bath house for the Colored population of the city. The Freedmen's Hospital is to get an increased appropriation next year if the report goes through. The Commissioners are asking for $45,000 for the Hospital, which is an increase of $5,000 over last year's amount. For the Industrial Home School for Colored Children at Blue Plains, $56,-940 is asked, which is sufficient to grant a raise in salaries to many of its employees. A miscellaneous request is also made for this institution for $20,000 for maintenance and repairs and improvements to buildings. For the National Association for the Relief of Destitute Colored Women and Children, $2,500. District Schools The salary of the Assistant Superintendent is placed $4,500 a year. The salary of the principal of the Junior High School is to be $2,700 with an increase of $100 per year for five years. An Assistant principal is provided for in the report, at a salary of $2,400, who is also to be Dean of Girls at Dunbar High. The Commissioners are asking for matrons at Miner Normal, Dunbar High, Shaw Junior High and Armstrong Manual Training at salaries of $600 each. In the list of new buildings and additions, the Commissioners are asking for $140,000 for an eight room addition to the Lovejoy school; for the erection of an eight room addition to the Phillips school, $140,000; for purchase of additional land adjoining the Garrison School, $6,000; for the erection of an eight room addition to the Garrison School, $140,000. The report also calls for the installation of sanitary drinking fountains in the schools; the report also provides for an eight room addition to the Mott school. Additional play grounds are to be provided if the report is accepted by Congress, also the keeping open of many of the playgrounds during the summer months. Shaw Junior High is to receive furniture and equipment to the extent of $7,500 worth. The Community Centers, with which Mrs. Pelham is connected, are to continue according to the report; $35,000 is asked for this work for the coming year. The education of Colored Deaf Mutes belonging to the District of Columbia, in Maryland or some other state under contract, is also provided for; $5,000 being asked for this fund. In regard to the $29,500 Bathing Beach, no details are given as to its possible location. However, this will come up before the Congressional Committee which will handle the bill. Mr.H.A.Green, first vice president of the League, introduced Mr. John E. Smith, president of the Junior class. Mr. Smith acted as master of ceremonies and conducted the program of the class which included a violin solo by Mr. M. G. Edmonds, an instrumental solo by Miss Beatrice Johnson and addresses on the topic by Messrs. Edwin Johnson, W. R. Adams and Miss Lillian Barlowe. The pastor, Rev. J. S. Carroll, gave remarks in conclusion. By a special request, Mr. J. E. Smith rendered the following declaration: "The Black Sheep Loves his Dad, Far Better Than the Rest." ALEXANDRIA, VA., NEWS Barber Shop Changes Hands The Barber shop of Rev. S. B. Ross has been sold to W. J. Hicks (white) after a successful career of 25 years. This shop is situated on the corner of King and N. Henry Streets and ran three chairs. Rev. Ross claims that inability to obtain barbers (recently having to employ white help) was a hindrance to his work. This marks the rapid passing of Negro barbers on King Street capturing to white trade.

Collins' "Alabama Minstrels" closed recently at Richmond, Va., after being attached for salaries. Billy King with a tabloid of "Exploits in Africa" played at (The Avenue) Chicago last half of last week. Can only say the show is very much in need of new material. Ernest Whitman is one of the outstanding figures in the cast. I dropped into the Grand to see "The Devil." I must say I saw him (J. L. Criner) at his very best; in fact the portrayal of the character ranks easily with his cripple in the "Miracle Man." This company closes here, returning later in the season after a run in the East.

Seligmann (This is the fourth of a series of articles by the author of "The Negro Faces America," who is now director of publicity of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.) Someone has said that there are only nine original stories in the world, and that every one of the thousands of stories published yearly is only a variation of one of the nine originals. This has its parallel at the Armament Conference in Washington. The scene of struggle has shifted to the Far East, to China and Siberia, but the drama remains the same: a scramble for markets and for undeveloped regions where labor is cheap and raw materials are plentiful. It only proves that the source of much of the world's difficulty is economic, that is to say, slovenly housekeeping. Japan becomes the hero or the villain of the drama, according to the point of view. The drama is unchanged. Japan's position is similar to Great Britain's, when Japan insists that her population is larger than her islands can support, that she therefore needs colonies or "spheres of influence" like Manchuria, Korea, and Shan-Tung to supply her with food and material; and that she needs a navy to insure open communications HOW TO GET WHAT YOU WANT.

This is almost exactly the position of the British Islands with regard to the territories all over the world grouped under the title of "British Empire." Japan differs not a bit from Great Britain in her excuse for wanting a navy. Nor does Japan differ a bit from the Germany of before the war in saying her population has grown too dense and needs foreign territory to expand in. Nor does Japan differ from France in demanding "security." That the skin color of the Japanese is "yellow" has nothing to do with the case. The problems of empire do not vary according to skin pigmentation. When statesmen sit down to "do business," skin color fades as an issue. Skin color only becomes an issue when someone can abet a mob in making trouble over it, as dishonest newspapers do in the South and on our Pacific coast. And it would therefore be a grave mistake for colored Americans to look upon Japan's course as heroic, right or wrong, merely because the Japanese are not white. The Japanese government's course is to be judged exactly as the course of white governments is judged. For the Japanese government has been as reprehensible a sinner against that other yellow-skinned people, the Chinese, and against the Koreans, as any white government. It remains to be seen, in Japan fully as much as in our own country and in England, France and Italy, whether the people can force peace and small navies on the governing group; or whether steel and battleship makers, together with bankers and diplomats can force large navies and armies on the people, with the inevitable consequence; war and death. For if peace is to come and remain, it will be because the peoples of the world make their diplomats afraid to endanger that peace. It will be because Americans, Japanese, French, English, force the hands of their servants in Washington, teach them that diplomats were made to obey and that the voice they must hearken to is the voice of the people. And the people want peace. If they want it enough they will get it and pay for it, and no price will be as heavy as the price of war. Meanwhile, Japan has been used as an agent in bringing on the downfall of Europe. Her influence and her armies have been used in that great game played by the Allies and chiefly France to strangle the present Russian government. Japan has been a powerful source of opposition to the Far Eastern Republic which is closely allied to the Russian Soviet government. Having seen that game played in Europe, and having seen the European governments gobbling up China, in the interest of their bankers, the Japanese government naturally was impelled to try the game also. Japan accordingly gobbled up Korea and Manchuria, and took the opportunity provided by the world war to seize Kiao-Chao and thoroughly penetrate the Chinese province of Shan-tung. If the European powers are going to keep parts of China for the use of their bankers, there is no reason why Japan should not do the same. In fact her "security" would demand her doing so. It can only be done with a navy. And navies mean war. The obvious alternative is to take China out of the hands of the bankers and to put her on her feet in the East; to do the same for Russia and Germany in the West, whereupon there ought to be enough raw materials and enough trade for everybody without the need of first killing millions of men, women and children, and wasting the raw materials and destroying the markets in which the trade is to take place. If the world war taught us anything it is that mankind is one; that men will have to work together and that no people can be driven into famine like the Russians, into bankruptcy like the Germans, into spoliation like the Chinese, without endangering the future of all human kind. For the victors always will quarrel over the spoils. There must be no spoils. If every European power which has forced China to make concessions to its bankers washes its hands of those bankers, Japan will be unable to do otherwise. The Japanese government can no more defy the opinion of mankind than any other government can. But governments, being usually composed of small groups of men, either owing their office to, or being in close touch with the bankers and other business men in whose behalf wars are fought, are not likely to 24 HOURS SERVICE wash their hands of those bankers. The men now assembled in Washington will not do so unless the voice of the people is heard unmistakably. And there is no way for the voice of the people to be heard except through the newspapers which, for the most part, are in the control of those very governing groups. Every thinking colored American knows how the facts about lynchings and race riots have been distorted in the white press of the United States. Similar distortion went on about international affairs before the world war, during the world war and it continues now that the war is over. And it is a legitimate hope at least, even if it is not an expectation, that public feeling throughout the world, against war and the instruments of war, may over-ride the newspapers, the diplomats, and the governing cliques of moneyed men. Already the pressure of public opinion in the United States is intense. Without knowing exactly how to get it, or what to do with all the shipbuilders and sailors who will be thrown out of work, people want navies scrapped. That is a feeling which overrides race and race prejudice. For people are beginning to realize that race prejudice is merely another instrument, in the hands of demagogues and venal journalists, for continuing the rule of war on this planet. (A fifth article by Mr. Seligmann will appear next week). THE ARMAMENT CONFERENCE AS COMPARED WITH OTHERS Limiting armaments, and opposing enlargement of armaments, on the ground that the present rivalry in armaments is practically certain to lead to war; is the stupendous task confronting the assembled delegates, in attendance upon "The Washington Conference On The Limitation Of Armaments." A brief review of other conferences on the limitation of armaments, will disclose somewhat illuminating results. Influenced by the writings and views of the great Bloch, on the futility of armaments, the Czar of Russia took the initiative in arranging the plans for the first Hague Conference. Immediately there arose the difficulty as to what powers should be invited. Russia invited all those (powers) having representatives at St. Petersburg; with a few exceptions. The fact that the Papacy was not asked to participate, brought forth a storm of protest from certain Catholic Quarters. The conference met at the Hague, on May 18, 1889, and was in session until July 29, of the same year. Out of fifty-nine powers claiming sovereignty, twenty-six were represented. The sessions were secret and no verbatim reports of the proceedings were kept. Various methods for the limitation of armaments were discussed, but the conference did not succeed in adopting any practical scheme of limitation. The first conference was followed some years later by the second Conference. This conference met on June 15, 1907, and adjourned on October 18, of the same year. President Roosevelt was the power behind the helm at the second conference. There were in attendance delegates from forty-four countries, representing more than ninety-six per-cent of the world's population. The chief work of the second conference lay in improving and developing the work of the former conference. Upon the request of the United States, England, and Spain, the subject of armaments was discussed, but only negative results were obtained. The hue and cry for open sessions during the present conference will accomplish no good, as far as the public in general is concerned, because it is only in the plenary sessions, that delegates will call "a spade a spade." The many means have been suggested, throut the ages, to settle international disputes, nations still maintain the right not to arbitrate, but to fight. It is well to remind the world that: "History repeats itself." And history has been a series of wars.

Undismayed by their defeats at the hands of Lincoln, Fisk and West Virginia Institute, the Ohioans have already turned their attention to next year. Tenative plans are underway to have a "Line Coach" added to the Coaching Staff. "Duke" Slater, All-American tackle of Iowa and "Pep" Jefferson, All-Ohio Conference center, have been named as possible choices. Head Coach "Wicky" Taylor, the former Oberlin College flash, will again have full command of the squad and in his speech at the Banquet tendered him last Monday night by the Football Team, he declared the 1922 year under way, without a word of censure, he smilingly congratulated and consoled the players in a Fatherly way. He counseled them to take excellent care of themselves physically and to concentrate earnestly on their books so that all of them will be eligible scholastically next fall. The schedule for 1922 is not altogether completed but games are pending with Lincoln at Philadelphia, Howard at Chicago, Morris Brown at Atlanta, Ga., Roger Williams at Nashville, Tenn., Kentucky Normal at Frankfort, Ky., Chilicothe A. C., Kentucky State, Fisk and West Virginia Institute, at Wilberforce. Brady Tripp, left end on this year's football team, was re-elected captain for 1922.

LOCAL NEWS LOCAL NEWS Biddle-Foote Nuptials St. Augustine's Church was the scene of one of the prettiest weddings of the season, at which, Miss Francena Foote, well known in social circles became the bride of Mr. Grant Ellsworth Biddle of Baltimore, last Wednesday evening at seven o'clock. The ceremony was performed in the presence of several hundred relatives and friends by Father O'Connor. Passing through a lane, formed by her attendants and with unfaltering tread, the bride, on the arm of her stepfather, was borne to the altar, where the bride-groom, attended by his best man, Mr. Warren Adams, stood in waiting. Just before the ceremony, Miss Nellie Freeman rendered "O Promise Me." Mr. Roscoe Lee officiated at the piano. The bride's gown was of white crepe de mentor, made with court train, trimmed with silver lace. A coronet of lilies of the valley adorned her head and she carried a huge bouquet of cut roses and sweet peas. The bridesmaids were: Misses Lillian Baker of Baltimore, Viola Dequere, Mrs. Edith Brandon of Balto. Mrs. Bert Meyers and Esther Williams. The grooms-men and ushers were: Messrs. Joseph Cooper, Walter Ellis, George Hayes, Ernest Foote, Alfred Selby, Dr. Chas. B. Fisher, Chas. Duckett and James E. Jackson. The guests included Mr. and Mrs. Biddle, mother and father of the groom, Miss Edith Biddle, sister of the groom, Mr. George Biddle, brother of the groom, Mr. and Mrs. John H. Coghill, mother and step-father of the bride. The train-bearer was Miss Vashti Smith; the ring-bearer, Master Charles Butler; all of Baltimore. Miss Bertine Matthews, of Baltimore; was maid of honor, and Mrs. Lucille Diggs matron of honor. The out-of-town guests were: Miss Bert Pullin, Atlanta, Ga.; Mrs. Ambrose Laster, Phila.; Mrs. Georgette Smith, Phila.; Mrs. Cecilie Robinson, Pittsburgh, Pa. The following were present from Baltimore: Mrs. Mary Daly, cousin of the bride; Attorney and Mrs. McMechen, Dr. and Mrs. Derry, Mr. Robert Baker and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Moore, Mr. and Mrs. Estelle Young, Miss Mamie Cole, Mr. Paul Stevens, Mrs. Butler and children, and Mrs. Jewel Jennifer Phillips of Wilson, N. C. Mr. and Mrs. Grant E. Biddle will be at home to their friends Sunday, Dec. 11th. AMPHIBION GLEE CLUB CELEBRATES 30TH ANNIVERSARY Greeted by An Overflow Audience of Admirers On Thursday evening, Dec. 1, the Amphion Glee Club, one of the city's most noted musical organizations, celebrated its 30th anniversary at the Dumbar High School. The event was indeed one of the season's rarest musical treats and the capacity audience which warmly greeted the members of this far-famed musical organization not only included many of the music-lovers of this city, but persons well-known in music circles of other cities were interested spectators. Miss Marian Anderson, charming contralto of Philadelphia, interpersing the song numbers of the Amphibians, with choice selections, some of them rendered in foreign tongue, more than pleased with her ease and graceful manner of execution. The manner in which she took her high and low notes, without even the slightest indication of any apparent effort brought rounds and rounds of vociferous applause at the end of each number. After the recital a reception was held in the spacious armory, where dancing proved to be the principal diversion. The entertainment was given under the auspices of the Dunbar Community Center. The Amphion Glee Club is said to be the oldest organization of its kind in the country, having been founded in 1891 by its present director, Prof. J. Henry Lewis. The officers of the club are: J. H. Washington president; J. G. Chapman, vice-president S. Wesley Waters, secretary; C. A. Champ treasurer; L. J. Leonard, librarian; J. Henry Lewis, director. A number of intelligent and cultured young women from some of Washington's best homes, and a group of ambitious young men, who are students in business and finance, have joined the agency staff of the Standard Investment Company, for the purpose of receiving practical instruction free along lines of business approach, and incidentally to add to their income by the liberal offer this company is making to honest and deserving people who may act as its representatives. THE AWAKENING OF ZION PAGE GRANT DRAWS LARGE CROWDS "The Awakening of Zion," a beautiful pageant in two parts, which was given under the auspices of the churches of the city and vicinity, was the direct cause of the vast throngs that filled the spacious auditorium of JohnWesley A. M. E. Zion Church on last Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. The presentation was an astoundingly vivid reproduction of the early struggles that were encountered in the religious evolution of the race in America in establishing the Independent Negro Methodist Church three hundred years ago. The offering opened with a prologue by Miss Mary L. Mason of the Union Wesley Church, which was followed by a swamp scene in which a large number of slaves were seen worshipping under the leadership of a Voodoo priestess. Because of its solemnity, this scene brought many tears. However, there were bits of humor, here and there that also caused much laughter. The impersonations of such personages as Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglas, Abraham Lincoln, James Varick, June Scott, and former Bishops of the A. M. E. Zion connection were capably done by a well-trained group under the direction of Miss M. L. Mason and Mr. Nathaniel Guy both of whom are well-known in dramatic circles. As the story goes on, the third scene depicts an interesting church scene, in which freedmen attired ir costumes of the period refused the segregated communion—whites sitting in the auditorium and the colored sitting in the gallery. This and other like incidents awakens a desire on the part of the Founders to organize a church that they might worship as they pleased. Then the evolution takes place swiftly. There are several conference scenes and the first efforts of missionary workers are also strikingly reproduced. The entire production is a masterful, faithful, interesting exhibition of the dramatic capabilities of all of the participants. The Negroes of Washington are proud of the achievements of the Standard Investment Co., which has purchased for our people some of the finest store property and business real estate on 14th Street, and are giving a hearty welcome to its agents from whom they are purchasing stock to be given as Christmas presents of real value.

Needless to say that Hudgins, who is well-known here and who has been seen here on numerous other occa- sions, as usual, made it difficult for the advent of the number that fol- lowed his offering. His work was so cleverly done that the Washington Herald critic, who, though not given to saying things complimentary of the work of Negro performers, had the following to say relative to the work of Hudgins: “John Hudgins in blackface, is the outstanding comedian of the entire affair. Hudgin apparently is really colored, but nevertheless his . work was good enough to stop the show yesterday—and when a comedian can actually stop a show at the Capitol on his merits alone he certainly must be good. Hudgin is a first rate dancer and has an original style of working.’ The critic will not regard Hudgin’s achievement—stopping the show— sympathy, helpfulness, and smiles let us give all we have. Remember that the “give” season is almost here. If there are those who have nothing let us share with them. ’Tis better to “cause” a Merry Christmas than to merely “wish” it. anything marvelous or extraordinary if he will take a squint at the Bill- board and read of the remarkable suc- cess of Eddie Green, Gertrude Saun- ders and others. Instead of begin- ning his story thus: “John Hudgin, in blackface,” he should have begun it in this manner: “John Hudgin, col- ored performer,” ete. We trust that he has become absolutely certain by this time as to who and what Hudgin is, “Four Harmony Kings” with “Shuf- fle Along” Co. is receiving many fine press notices for their singing.
