The Washington Tribune District Auditor Begins Hearings on Florida Avenue Baptist Church Controversy All the News That's Fit to Print VOL. I, No. 48 District Au Hearings of Baptist Must Report To Court On Four-Specific Questions BOTH SIDES ARE CONFIDENT Whole Matter May Be Settled Before End of the Month A final settlement of the present court fight between factions of the Florida Avenue Baptist Church, is looked for sometime during the month of April. The District Auditor to whom Mr. Justice Bailey referred the matter to obtain certain facts, began his hearings in the hearing room of the Auditor on the 3rd floor of the Court House, last Wednesday. Attorneys Thos. L. Jones, Royal Hughes and Geo. Hayes are representing the plaintiffs; that is, those desiring to oust the pastor; while Attorney's Armond Scott and Stewart are representing the defendants, consisting of the pastor and others. Because of the nature of the hearings, the sessions are not open to the public. Owing to the intricacy of the matter and the bitterness of the fight, it may be late next week before the auditor completes his work. The Auditor's task is to find out and report back to the court on the following questions: 1. Who are the trustees of the Florida Avenue Baptist Church? 2. Who are the duly authorized and elected deacons of the church? 3. Who are the regular and bona fide members of the church? 4. On the night of December 16 was a vote taken and passed to oust the pastor, Rev. Wm. A. Taylor? Due to the division of the books and other important documents, to settle these questions will be a big task. Many witnesses from both sides will be heard. After the Auditor completes his work and reports to the court, some definite action is expected, settling the matter one way or another. ELKS' BAND UNDER PROF. MILLER GREAT SUCCESS Fredericksburg, Va.-The Elks Band of Fredericksburg, Va., which Prof. James E. Miller of Washington has been tutoring, gave its initial concert in the Opera House of Fredericksburg, Tuesday night, April 4th, to an overflow crowd. The concert from all angles was a great success. The band was organized about a year ago by Mr. Andrew Hazell, the organizer of the Elks there and a prominent business man. After organizing the band, the services of Prof. Miller was secured and the results obtained from the men by him in such a short time, have been described as wonderful. The band has over $2,000 worth of instruments which are all paid for and are uniformed throughout. As a token of appreciation the citizens presented Prof. Miller and Mr. Hazell with large baskets of flowers. The members of the band are: Major Day, Dr. Harris, Ramsey Talferro, Shepard Brown, Robert Wormley, Andrew Jackson, Robert Johnson, Andrew Hazell, organizer, Albert Johnson, Walter Hart, James Coleman, Chas. Baylor, Jim Johnson, S. M. Tate, John Rollins, Clevious Humphrey, Alven Coleman, Howard Verges, and Frank Lucas.

BRANGH OF DIALECT SOCIETY ORGANIZED There has been organized at the Howard University a branch of the American Dialect Society. The aim of this society is to collect dialectal and illiterate words and expressions current in America. These will eventually be published in a great American Dialect Dictionary. Similar branches are to be found in most of the prominent American universities. The members of the Howard Branch are: President J. Stanley Durkee, Dr. Georgiana R. Simpson, Mrs. Elizabeth Ross Haynes, Dr. Eva B. Dykes, Miss Grace Coleman, Professors E. C. Williams, L. D. Turner, G. M. Lightfoot, L. Z. Johnson, C. E. Burch, and E. P. Davis. The officers of the society are Professor Davis, president; Dr. Dykes, vice president; and Dr. Simpson, secretary-treasurer. ZION LAYMEN ORGANIZE Pursuant to a call sent out by a Conference representing the laity of the Washington District of the Philadelphia and Baltimore Conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church, a meeting was held at John Wesley Church Tuesday night, March 28th for the purpose of organizing a Laymen's Union. There was a large delegation representing all of the principal churches of the District. A resolution by R. H. Tunnell that a union of the laymen of the District be permanently organized was agreed to unanimously. Officers chosen were as follows: Francis C. Johnson, president; George C. Scurlock, secretary; William Burke, corresponding secretary; Matthew N. Taylor, treasurer; Joseph Herbert, chaplain. The meeting went on record endorsing the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill now pending in the Senate, and passed a resolution calling on the Bishops and pastors to write their senators urging that they support the bill. Rev. W. D. Battle of Galbraith Church dropped in and was called on for remarks. He responded approving the movement which, to his mind, he said meant a greater Zion.

SATURDAY, APRIL 8, 1922 TRIBUNE FEATURES A new feature has been added to the columns of the Tribune, beginning this week, "From the Cynic's Notebook." All followers of present day thought will find this column both enlightening and helpful. This feature along with "One Day Last Week" by Jay Bee and "The Children's Page" by C. Leslie Frazier, and others, makes The Tribune the most complete paper in Washington. Read these features every week. BROADWAY HAS NEW MANAGER The Broadway Theater on Seventh Street, N. W., is now under the management of Fletcher Jordan, Rufus G. Byars having failed in court to procure a lease on the theater. For the past several months, while managing the Broadway, there has been much controversy as to whether Mr. Byars was lessee. It now develops that he was not. The Broadway is the third new theater to be opened in the northwest section during the past 10 months. This house is still under white control with a colored house manager and is the third theater in this section operated by whites to compete with the already established colored houses. HOWARD AND ATLANTA DEBATE NEXT WEEK Other Debates to Follow Announcement is made of representatives to defend Howard in its dual debate with Atlanta University and in the triangular debates with Lincoln and Union. The Howard team to debate Atlanta University on April 14, in the Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel will be composed of Milo Cravath Murray, of Nashville, Tenn.; and Yancy L. Sims, of Atlanta, Georgia, of the Kappa Sigma Debating Society. The subject to be debated is, "Resolved: That the United States should cancel the war debts owed by the Allied governments." The Triangular Debating League, consisting of Lincoln, Howard, and Union universities, will hold its debates on the evening of April 28. The Howard team to meet Union in Washington will consist of Frederick Harold Robb of Hartford, Conn.; Louis Eugene King, Buckeyestown, Md., and Harold Edward Bledsoe, Merlin, Texas. The Howard team to meet Lincoln University at Lincoln will be, Earl Russell Alexander of Washington, D. C., Edward A. Simmons of Charleston, S. C., and Zephaniah Alexander Looby of Antigua, B. W. I. The alternates are, Albert C. Gilbert of New York City, James Arthur Curry of Thomasville, N. C., James Garland Wood, Cotton Plant, Ark., Arnold E. Stowe, and Frank Williams of Fayetteville, North Carolina. AN EVENING OF MUSIC The senior choir and the junior choir of the 19th Street Baptist Church, under the leadership of Mr. Benjamin Washington, are making extensive preparations for an "Evening of Music" on Easter Sunday night, at which time compositions from some of our colored authors as well as white will be rendered. Mr. Morrison Goodrich, tenor, and Mr. Lewis Minor baritone, are to be the guest soloists, while Miss Josephine Muse will be one of the solo accompanists. New Theater For Southwest Washington The citizens of Southwest and Southeast Washington are soon to have a new theater. This theater is now nearing completion and is located on F Street, between Second and Third, Southwest. The building is to be modern in every respect and well fitted to meet the needs of the citizens of these sections. The new house will be under the management of the Southwest Theater Corporation, composed of Mr. Geo. Nelson, the owner and builder of the theater, S. H. Dudley and the Murray Brothers. The new theater has been named "The Rosalie" in memory of a deceased daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nelson. The management of Dudley and Murray will link this theater in their existing chain, which will assure the patrons of the same high class attractions that are shown at the Dunbar and other theaters. Announcement of opening will be made later. INSURANCE COMPANIES SHOW RACE'S GREATEST PROGRESS IN BUSINESS INSURANCE COMPANIES SHOW RACE'S GREATEST PROGRESS IN BUSINESS (By J. A. G. LuValle) A tabulation of the insurance companies owned and operated by colored people doing business in the District of Columbia, forms an interesting economic and commercial subject for much that. The ones tabulated are the Standard Life, of Atlanta, Ga.; The North Carolina Mutual Life, of Durham, N. C.; The National Benefit Life, of Washington D. C.; all "old line, legal reserve" companies and the Southern Aid Society of Virginia, Richmond, Va., an industrial company and the American Woodmen, of Denver Colo., a fraternal insurance society. The Richmond Beneficial, which has an office here, has been unable to furnish us with one of their statements. The combined capital and surplus of the first five mentioned totals $2,245,763.28 which is not a bad showing for five companies. That would give an average of about $450,000 for each of the companies. The item that shows their real strength is the total assets, which equal, $5,402,622.22. This would average a little more than a million dollars for each of them. Not a bad thot to know that we have five Insurance Companies that would average more than a million dollars in assets. Standard Life The next question to follow this would naturally be, How are these assets distributed? The Standard Life would come first for it is the oldest in the old line legal reserve business, having begun about seven years ago. It has $626,071.81 in mortgage loans. The next question is: Are these loans made to colored farmers or property owners? That we cannot say; but, since the money comes from colored people, it would be of invaluable service to them, to be able to borrow from our insurance companies, to assist in the purchase of and improvement of their property. There is an item of $178,454.61 labeled "policy loans" and we are sure that has been distributed among colored people. The Standard has $293,600.84 in Liberty and Municipal Bonds. These are necessary to deposit with the various insurance commissioners in the states in which the company operates. The company also had a large amount of cash on hand—$130,483.95. The Standard's reserve fund of $1,238,307.80 places it in the lead on reserve. It wrote twelve and a half millions of new business last year. The North Carolina Mutual Life comes next. Although it has been doing business for 22 years, yet it only entered the old line legal reserve class since the Standard was organized. Among the assets of this company we note $351,203.00 as "market value of real estate," owned by the company. Loans on bonds and mortgages $283,240.35. We hope that this is distributed among our group. There is an item of $66,809 loans to policy holders, which speaks well. Stocks and bonds take up $615,342 which looks a little excessive, but they are doing business in thirteen States and it may require all of these bonds to cover their deposit requirements. Their cash on hand is $15,279.18. The reserve of the N. C. Mutual is $1,199,745. This gives us two companies with more than a million each on reserve. This company paid to its policy holders last year $530,407.29—more than a half million distributed in twelve months.

NIES SHOW RACE'S RESS IN BUSINESS BIG EASTER CONCERT The music lovers of Washington will have a real treat Easter Sunday at the Howard Theatre. The Wooding Jubilee Singers and Branson E. Lee's Syncopated Orchestra will give a special Easter program under the direction of Mr. A. Russell Wooding. According to advance announcements, this will be one of the greatest musical concerts ever given in Washington. Further announcement of this affair will be made next week. PROPOSE HIGHER TEACHERS' PAY The salary increase bill for the city school teachers will be warmly supported by the members of the District Committee in the Senate as the result of the favorable hearing held on the bill Monday. Dr. Ballou made a favorable impression upon the committee in the presentation of his statement for the bill. Dr. Ballou told the committee that it was impossible to obtain trained teachers for the Washington schools because the salaries were much below other cities of like size and class. He mentioned the trouble he had in trying to secure a principal for the Miner Normal school. "The salary is $2,700," he said, "and I was in touch with twenty-five leading colored educators but when they found out the salary, they were no longer interested. One of them was getting a salary of $5,000 as principal of a colored high school elsewhere." Another point of interest, brought out by Dr. Ballou, is the fact that the teachers of the District must pay an income tax. "No teacher in any other city in the United States is required to do this. As employees of the municipality they are exempted." He also mentioned the fact that because of the low salary, a number of teachers, 94 to be exact, were given permits to do extra work, in addition to the 164 in the night school. He said the government should economize, but the schools should be the last department to feel it, not the first. Dr. W. S. Deffenbaugh, of the Federal Bureau of Education, presented a schedule of salaries for the various cities of the country with more than 100,000 population. He said that Washington stood 33 in minimum salaries and 43 in the list for maximum salaries. In striking the average, Washington's average is $1,346 and the average for the country is $1,866. This salary bill does not include the other employees of the schools, not connected with the actual instructive force. The other employees will come under the reclassification bill. MAMMOTH ORGAN INSTALLED IN HOWARD THEATRE The Dudley-Murray United Theater Corporation have installed a mammoth picture orchestral organ at the Howard Theatre on T Street near 7th, Northwest. This mammoth organ is one of the largest south of New York City and will add much to the music for the first class pictures that are to be shown at that popular ay house. This mammoth organ will be ready for use at the supper show Saturday evening. This is an additional feature for the Howard and will assist in making the pictures more realistic. Circulation Books Open To All PRICE 5 CENTS SEGREGATION IN BRANCH LIBRA- RIES FIRST PRO- POSED IN 1917 Report of That Year Discloses Some Very Interesting Facts LIBRARIAN INTERVIEWED Explained Proposed Branch Extension at Howard University The recent flare-up of race prejudice in connection with the establishment of branch libraries in the public schools, can be traced back to the report of the Librarian of the Central Library, in 1917. The propaganda for race prejudice is insidious and ever on the job. It is ever alert and often farsighted. In the report of the Librarian of the Central Library for 1917, the placement of branch libraries in the schools was given much space. The origin of the recent agitation against Attorneys Houston's resolution which was passed by the school board on the 4th of February, stating that all of the branch libraries should be open to all citizens as is the Central Library, can be found on page 12 of that report which said: "Both the white and colored races have ways used the central Library, and it is assumed that they will jointly use the branches hereafter to be established in separate buildings. It is, however, assumed [please notice this assumption] that branches to be established in public school buildings will be used only by the race to which the school where the branch is situated regularly ministers." There is the origin of the letters of protest as well as the infernal "Bumble Bee" which lost its stinger after its first issue. In this same report of 1917 there is reference to "cooperation with Howard University" to establish a branch in the Carnegie building of that school. "Howard University is $1\frac{1}{2}$ miles from the central library," says this report. "It is a center of colored population, particularly the better educated colored people. The president of the university is desirous of promoting wider citizen and community use of the university resources. It is suggested that an effort be made to secure a further grant from Mr. Carnegie, or the Carnegie Corporation, for the enlargement of the library building, so as to make it available for joint use as a college library and as a branch of the Public Library." Recently there has been an exchange of correspondence between the University and the Library officials and there are rumors that the establishment of the branch at Howard University would be the prelude to the exclusion of colored patrons at the Central Library. A Representative of The Tribune interviewed Dr. George F. Bowerman, Librarian. He was asked: "If you establish this branch at Howard University, will that preclude colored patrons from the service here?" "No, that is not the idea," said Dr. Bowerman. "There is a growing need for trained colored librarians and we thought by establishing this branch at Howard University, we could offer, through the University, a well balanced course, taking up both the school and public work in one course." "Then it is not the idea to exclude colored persons from this library?" "No, that is not the idea, but public sentiment may reach that point later on, as was shown in the protests recently against the Houston resolution before the school board," said Dr. Bowerman. "Do you think it would be a fair representation of the Nation's Capital to yield to this sentiment?" "We will not discuss that now."

In times of |war, we have heard of hundreds of [men losing their lives in battle, while |facing powder, but this hand-painted, rouged-lipped, knee-skirted tweed came near losing her life, while pow- |dering her face. | Girls, take a tip from the bird who | witnessed this near-tragedy.

It makes mighty fine business for fu- neral directors and florists Flaming red sky-pieces for fly flaps, and some spinsters, too, seems to be Dame Fashion’s last utterance. During the engagement of the “Storm” at the Howard the other week, the red hats of the ladies and the old rose color ‘scheme of the theater, presented a ‘glowing mirage of red, which added greatly to the spectacular fire scene of the production. Met a very interesting little lady. Perhaps, few of the present day theatergoers remember the initial per- formance of the late J. Leubrie Hill’s “My Friend From Dixie,” at the Howard Theater possibly about 1910 or 1911. During the play and in a suffragette meeting scene, a diminutive lady, who ‘could talk faster than any talking ‘machine ever made, won the plaudits of hosts of admirers because of her exceptional ability. "Twas Madam Cuetta Watts, who, for a number of years, was a promoter of home tal- }ent concerts about the city. Today, on fashionable F street she is conduct- ing one of Washington's largest and most modernly equipped hairdressing salons. Her patronage includes some of the wealthiest people in the coun- try. ‘At one time, ofly lawyers and other office personages were eligible to tote brief cases, but nowadays, the practice has been invaded upon by persons in all crawls of life. Cooks, laundresses, house-maids, students and even boot-boozery dealers have found them peculiarly adaptable for their use. Saw one the other day that was especially designed to carry six or eight “half pounds” of corn-field ex- tract or to be more explicit, “joy-wa- ter”; another pattern was about a gnat’s frazzle different from a regu- lar suitcase.

A gentleman of Hebraic descent, the owner of a movie theater, had heard of the wonderful pulling power of the “Four Horse- men” attraction and he desired very much to book the picutre for his house. “How much would the picture cost for a two-day run?” he asked. “We do not play the picture except on a percentage basis,” replied the sales- man. “But if you want to play the picture for only two days, we can arrange to book it into your house for about $1,000,” he continued, “Vell, dot’s too much, could we split the difference and engage two of the Horsemen fer two days?” He won the celluloid loving cup.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, APRIL 8, 1922 S. COLERIDGE TAYLOR SOCIETY REVIVED S. COLERIDGE TAYLOR SOCIETY REVIVED The S. Coleridge Taylor Choral Society met at the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A. Monday evening, April 3rd, for the purpose of enlarging its membership. For a long time Washington has been unable to claim an active choral society because of the discontinuance of active work on the part of this society in 1913. Many efforts have been made to revive it but were unsuccessful up to this time when the idea was conceived of making the "The Atonement" a part of the original society. With the assistance of Mr. Hilyer, the manager of "The Atonement" chorus for the Y. W. C. A. made known to the members of the Choral Society their desire to join with them. At the meeting authorized by the president, Mr. James A. Cobb, the new chorus was received as members and Mr. Roy W. Tibbs was elected director. Of the six vacancies on the board three were filled by vote at this meeting—Prof. Roy W. Tibbs of Howard University, Miss Olive C. Jones and Miss Florence Brooks of the Y. W. C. A.

Rutherford, the successful general manager of one of America's foremost Negro insurance companies spoke very forcefully and effectively before the students of the Dumbar High School last week. Choosing for his subject "Education," defined as the preparation of a man or woman for complete living, he told of the wonderful opportunities in this country for those with brains and a desire to learn. He advised that now is the time to make a choice which offered the best chances for support—specializing and concentrating upon that particular calling, advocating or profession. In making a constructive criticism he voiced a fear of inadequacy of program in the elementary schools to the effect that not enough stress is placed on the essentials of elementary education, important and indispensable to a business man. Leaving food for the students' mental digestion and their later application, he viewed education as a necessity for success, an element which helps to make one a better citizen, a strong factor in contributing to any worthy cause. He regarded general science, history and reading (understandingly) as the key to knowledge, evaluating a man's worth by his ideas and measuring his bigness from his shoulders up Good manners, neatness, punctuality, courage and a stiffening of the backbone were cited as the requisites for a successful business man. In closing, an appeal to the students of business practice was made for interest, pride, enthusiasm and love of their work and the big opportunities offered by the National Benefit Life Insurance Company for executives, traveling auditors, salesmen efficient clerks, stenographers and bookkeepers, were brought before them. PROF. NEVAL H. THOMAS STRESSES NEEDS OF NEGRO BUSINESS Addressing a large audience at the Third Baptist Church on last Sunday, Neval H. Thomas urged the patronage of the colored press, colored places of amusements, banks, drug stores, groceries, haberdasheries, and all other business establishments conducted by colored people. He urged the study of Negro history as another means of giving race pride to the Negro. His address, "Racial Selfrespect the Supreme end of Education," was punctuated with frequent applause. "Money is power," he said. "We must patronize our colored business establishments. Right here on U St. and nearby, we have most creditable places of amusement conducted by colored men. We have banks, shoe repairing shops, haberdasheries, groceries, drug stores, newspapers, printing offices, new stands, all conducted by colored people, and all employing colored men and women. They have blazed the trail, giving our children opportunities to use the education we give them in school. The more we patronize them the more they can employ. South Washington and the other sections of the city offer the same opportunity. They have furnished us places of amusement, and places of public accommodation, the only relief from the white man's humiliating restrictions all over the capital city. Does not racial self-respect demand that we give our colored business men our support?" "Again," he said, "we must study the glorious history of the Negro which the white man does not want you to have. The best way to hold a race in servitude is to prevent its growth of selfrespect, and the only way to prevent this growth of selfrespect is to make the race think that is has no past, that its ancestry has contributed nothing to the nations's greatness. We came to these shores with the explorers and the earliest settlers, and have toiled unceasingly ever since. We have created untold billions of wealth which we have not received. We have fought the nation's battles, contributed to her statesmanship, and achieved pre-eminence in her art and literature, and drama. Today the greatest poetic critic is a Negro, likewise, the greatest painter and actor." "Racial selfrespect is hindered by the reflections upon the race which some of us are constantly making. Who has not heard, 'He treats me White,' 'He has a black heart,' 'She has good hair, and a good nose?' We are foolishly making 'white' the synonym of 'good,' and 'black' the synonym for 'bad.' A race will remain in servitude as long as it thinks that even its physical characteristics are inferior. This has ever been a part of the propaganda of the enemy." N. A. A. C. P. TO MEET The regular monthly meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, at the 12th Street Branch of the Y. M. C. A., Wednesday April 12th, will be the "Get together" meeting fo the District of Columbia Branch. Preceding the regular meeting, at eight o'clock, a call has been made for all the workers and division heads for final instructions with reference to the "Drive." The plan is to go very carefully into detail with a method of reaching members for renewals and securing the membership of those who, from lack of information heretofore, have not been interested in the work done by the Association. The program for the Mass Meetings in the different sections of the City and among the various groups residing therein is nearing completion. Every Church in these several districts has been approached with a view to bringing to their people this gospel of help and message of hope. The pendency of the Anti-Lynching Bill in the Senate makes a joint effort in this membership "Drive" a necessity. A showing of 25,000 members at this time will be a powerful influence of raeial solidarity in its effort towards aiding the "Submerged Tenth." Those who cannot speak and act for themselves will have a voice in the Association through the dollars of those who realize that now is the time to act. The case of Charles Ponzi, the financial wizard of Boston, whose exploits got him in trouble with the Federal and State authorities, was argued before the United States Supreme Court by Atty. William H. Lewis of Boston, Mass., a short time ago. The case was decided against Ponzi, in a decision handed down Wednesday by Chief Justice Taft. Atty. Lewis in his argument before the court held that a federal prisoner, even with the consent of the Attorney General, and while serving a sentence of imprisonment, may not be taken into a state court and be placed on trial upon indictments there pending against him. The Chief Justice ruled that he may. H. U. Notes TAU DELTA SIGMA NOTES On Easter Monday evening, from 6 to 8 P. M., the Tau Delta Sigma Fraternity will have its first formal "at home."

BASEBALL IN WASHINGTON The followers of baseball in Washington are now wondering what the coming season has in store for them. Many of the clubs have signified that they will again have teams in the race for first honors. Deanwood A. C. probably was the first to come forth with their plans. A new manager has been elected, much needed improvements to the ground have been started; a club house and other features are promised; players have been signed and their books opened for games. The Buffalo and St. Cyprian clubs have also announced their new officers and are planning on their spring training. The LeDroit Tigers have also started training. The Departmental League met recently to map out plans for organization next summer. This League almost had a disastrous close last season and the officers are desirous of putting the league back on sound footing again. The greatest drawback to simpro ball here is lack of organization. There is no organization to bring the managers together so they can discuss the many problems confronting them. They have no way of booking games and being sure of giving the fans a run for their money. There are no laws governing the signing of players and their eligibility. Many times one player will play with one team this week and another team the next. In fact very few managers have been able to keep their players in line and be sure of their appearance at all games. Quite frequently games would be booked between two teams and the players would all represent themselves as members of their team, while the very next week many of them would play on an entirely new team as members of that team. This sort of stuff has made the caliber of the games uncertain and has prevented many apparently good combinations from coming to the front. The fans have been unable to tell on what team their favorites would play and consequently have not supported any team like they should have. This method has prevented the building up of a really big ball club in Washington, therefore, Washington is the only city of its size and importance in this section, if not in the whole country, that has no team to give it representation in the big class. Another problem and it is a big one too, is the problem of playing fields. There are very few diamonds available for Colored teams here and with the passing of the Union League park, this really brings the number to practically nothing. Without some kind of organization the teams this year will have no place to play except the monument lot. And, as this is government ground, no fees can be charged or collection taken. Now the question is will the managers and club owners get together and work out some kind of organization so they can work as one unit, or will they continue to remain unorganized and drift into oblivion? Available sites for diamonds are very few and it will take concerted effort and some money to get them. The white teams are now organizing and getting their lease on the grounds so they will have some place to play. What are the Colored teams going to do. Wait perhaps until everything is gobbled up and then stand around and say perhaps what could have been done. Will the baseball fans of Washington have to again book out of town teams to play here so they may see a good game or will local men get together and see to it that a team of sufficient strength is organized here to give them the attractions. Now is the time to start to thinking about these problems and not July or August. Already out of town teams have sent their agents' here and signed up the cream of local players. Will Washington continue to be the "old cows tail" in baseball or will the men who are in the game now do the right thing and organize for their own protection and put Washington on the map?

UNION Reports from Virginia Union University are quite optimistic regarding baseball. Practically a veteran machine will take the field against Lincoln Saturday. The third base gap is causing some worry, but three likely looking candidates are trying for the place. A. Jackson, former Virginia Normal crack will likely be the first string catcher. Many are in line for the two outfield vacancies. On the mound Jeffries and Thompson, veterans, and two youngsters of known quality will form one of the strongest staffs in colored colleges. Coach Martin who made football history last fall at the University has charge of developing the nine. Coach Martin played with the Pittsburgh Keystones last summer. HOWARD OPENS SEASON SATURDAY The local college baseball season will be underway Saturday, April 8th at 2:00 o'clock when Howard and Morgan College cross bats on the University campus. Despite the fact that many of last season's regulars are missing, Coach Morrison has high hopes of a well rounded machine representing the blue and white. For three weeks or more efforts have been made to develop players to fill one outfield and three infield positions. Lang, pitcher and Kean, catcher, who last season formed one of the best batteries in college ranks are again very much active. In addition there are many other promising battery men. According to advance reports Morgan College boasts of a strong team this being true, a good game is expected. WHITE TEAM NO MATCH FOR ALCOES The Alcoes closed the basketball season here in grand style Friday night at the Murray Casino when they easily downed the Winston A. C.'s a quint of white New Yorkers by the score of 41 to 19. The first half was hotly contested and ended with the locals leading 13 to 12 but in the latter period the poor condition of the visitors told and the score was piled up at will. Carroll's and Neal'ssshooting, Kenner's passing and Morris' shooting and guarding featured for the Alcoes while McCathern played a strong game for the white team. Inelement weather kept the crowd down. The game was excellently handled by Referee Johnson. Pola Negri in The Red Peacock a Paramount Picture Presented by Alfred H.

Entries will be received by Doc Morrison up to 12:00 o'clock the day of the meet Saturday, April 8th. TIGERS SECURE NEEDED HELP The Ledroit Tigers have succeeded in securing financial backing in the person of Mr. S. Hoffman, a very prosperous business man. Mr. Hoffman will leave Washington the early part of next week for New York, Philadelphia, Wilmington and perhaps Pittsburg in the interest of games for the Tigers. Manager West reports that the veterans, Babe Adams, Joe Wheeler, Red Johnson and Lefty Smith are about ready to take their turn in the box. The rookies, Jefferson and Plummer are also doing good work. The Tigers have a stone wall outfield in Jefferson, Budd and Smith; while the catching department is well taken care of by Davis, Lewis and Baylor. The infield, however, is causing Doc much worry. Mr. Hoffman is arranging to open the season with the Washington Athletics, at 15th and H Streets, N. E. the first Sunday in May. HOWARD TO HAVE TWO BALL TEAMS For some time candidates for the Varsity and Freshman baseball teams have been at work and from all appearances, Howard will be able to put forth a most representative baseball team this year. Already from the battery candidates the Varsity team is sure of five good pitchers, three left-handers and two righthanders. The Varsity will have two men from last year and a number of promising recruits. The infield has a fair nucleus from last year to work around and with the acquisition of the new men who are showing promise will round out strongly. The outfield is causing considerable worry as the outfield material is very poor in their field work. One of the interesting things in baseball at Howard this year will be the official Freshman Team which will have an individual and independent schedule. Up to date there have been six regularly scheduled games. DUDLEY-MURRAY THEATER CORP. POLA NEGRI IN THE RED PEACOCK SPORTS CHAMPIONSHIP BASKETBALL GAME COMING The championship series of the city schools in basketball for the elementary school boys will be played beginning Monday, April 10.

A schedule will be prepared after the games committee has been apprised of the schools desiring to enter the tournament. A track and field day will occur on June 1st at the Cardoza Playground. The events are as follows: 80 pound class—50 yards, running broad jump, relay; 95 pound class—50 yards, high jump, relay; 115 pound class; 50 yard dash, running broad jump, relay; Unlimited weight class—50 yards, high jump, relay.

"God's Country and The Law" At DUNBAR THEATRE, MON, TUES., WED., & THURS., APRIL 10, 11, 12 and 13 THE STORY 'Poleon and his daughter Oachi live a happy existence in the North woods. Nearby also blooms Marie, young wife of Andre. Over these two gardens of contentment looms a sinister shadow, that of Dore, villainous whiskey runner. THE RIGHT WAY A picture that has a big story, is superbly cast and directed by master minds, which took a year to make and cost a fortune in expenditure and has more than 2,000 persons taking part. Dore believes in the charm of a rattlesnake's tail he carries as an amulet. Escaping from the Northwest Mounted Police he reaches the clearing whereupon "Poleon's cabin is located. They give him the hospitality of their home. In returning Dore forces his insulting attention upon Oachi. In the scuffle Dore' loses his ugly amulet. "Poleon crushes it beneath his heel. Shorn of his communion with the evil spirits, Dore is stricken with dismay. A great fear that anything may now befall him comes over Dore. He wanders blindly through the forest, even pursued by his guilty conscience. He comes upon the cabin of Andre and Marie. Accepts their hospitality also and again tries his old tricks. Andre' soundly thrashes him and sends him on his way. He returns when Marie is ill and Andre away. He kidnaps her and takes her with him to the forest. During a terrific storm Marie escapes. She is found the next day unconscious by none other than Oachi. Oachi takes her to their cabin. Fate likewise brings Dore stark mad, staggering into their little home. Believing that all he sees is an apparition, he falls dead in a spasm of fear. Andre finds Marie and learns that death has taken vengeance.

What with Tony, his wonderful horse, a government airplane, and the Grand Canyon of Arizona as a background, Mix is said to out-Mix himself in stunts and sheer—well, foolishness (if Mr. Mix doesn't see the word and come to make us swallow it.) There are a lot of reasons why motion picture fans adore Tom Mix, and "Sky-High," which opens at the Dunbar Theatre, Friday and Saturday, is declared to be the best reason his followers ever have had for doing so. It is usually found that Tom doesn't even bother about living up to his advance notices. He keeps far ahead of them. "Sky-High" shows Mix in the kind of role his devotees like best. He is seen as a Government Immigration agent, down in Arizona, trying to squelch a band of smugglers who are sneaking Chinamen through. And Tom musses up the landscape considerable before he's through with them. The big outstanding stunt is his dash through the Grand Canyon in an airplane—braving airpockets, skimming off the sides of the giant precipes and dropping from a rope into the Colorado River. Before that he rides Tony hell-for-leather right around the dizzy rim of the Canyon. [Image of a man in a dark coat with a white hat, looking upwards.] He was one of the world's big family who went the way of the transgressor and had to pay the penalty of his sins under lock and key. When the freedom again beckoned him to the fireside of civilization he realized that there was a RIGHT WAY after all. LOGALS Dr. David E. Crawfrod of Boston was in the city last week.

The next morning's paper carried a dispatch from Berlin in part as follows: “According to Mr. Heron [of the American Quaker Relief Committee in Russial, mass migrations are occur- ring under the most horrible cireum- stances, thousands being unable to find food and shelter, lived in holes in the forests like animals. A tenth of the population of Minsk is stricken with typhus. The epidemic is now waning, but will be succeeded this coming summer by cholera, which will probably claim many thousands of dead. The border cities are crowded with fugitives, bringing disease and death, while food, hospitals and sleep- ing quarters are inadequate.” That relates to Russia. The follow- ing relates to Armenia: “Forty-nine out of every fifty per- sons are afflicted with disease due to malnutrition. Foodstuffs throughout the area are exhausted. “Several cases were so desperate that the people resorted to eating of human. flesh, which practice was sharply punished by the authorities. Officials said that they are doing all they can to prevent it, but the people lose their senses from hunger.” And though the American press does not “play it up” so strongly as to the rest of Europe, conditions are not much better in other localities. ‘The mind reverts to the Four Horse- men: The competitive scheming for Conquest, leading to War, followed by Famine and Pestilence, and—Death. Although The Cynic has followed the popular interpretation as to the third Horseman—riding the Black Horse—a little unfettered thought will serve to show that the correct inter- pretation is probably economic in its essence. “And lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand, And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A meas- ure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.”—Rev. 6:5,6. A penny was the normal wage for @ day's work, and a “measure” (choenix) about three pints: that is, THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, APRIL 8,.1922 the worker could buy with his wages barely enough to subsist upon, but the “oil and wine”—the luxuries of the rich—were to be “hurt not.” Ts not that a picture of what we see in the War devasted lands today? The dispatches tell us that despite the suf- fering of the workers in middle Eu- rope, the luxurious ostentation of the rich was never more pronounced. This is especially true in Vienna and War- saw, where the suffering is greatest. Should we not call the rider of the third horse, “Exploitation?” It appears from the Foreign Rela- tions Section of the New York “Na- tion” that one of the chief matters at issué in the recent strike of (white) miners in South Africa (which with characteristic mendacity, where eco- nomic issues are concerned, the A- merican press referred to as a “red revolution”), was the abolition of the so-called “color bar.” ‘These words as used in South Africa may need some explanation. There, the “eolor bar” relates to the system which regulates the ratio of whites to “natives” employed in the mines. The ratio fas been 8.5 colored to 1 white.” The mine owners wanted to raise the ratio of colored to 11, to 1 white. To this the (white) miners ob- jected, claiming among other things ‘that such an increased ratio would be only the entering wedge to a complete abolition of the “color bar”—which would mean that in the mines the owners could hire whomsoever they pleased without regard to color. ‘The owners point out that up to the time of the strike all the positions re- quiring skill or managerial ability were in the hands of whites, hence if they propose to diminish the propor- tion of whites that must mean that the “natives” are acquiring—or have acquired—skill and managerial ability. Of course it goes without saying that there, as here,the colored get less pay than whites for the same work. As to the strike—the dispatches in- dicate that by the employment of gov- ernment troops and modern “hunnish” methods the strike was suppressed. For this outcome, shall we as colored people rejoice, or shall we as work- ers regret? ‘When Einstein was in this country some months ago, he stated that prob- ably there were not one hundred per- sons in America capable of under- standing his theories concerning rela- tivity. (He did not say how many he thought actually did understand them.) From dispatches coming occa- sionally out of Europe, it would seem that there are some persons over there ——and in the so-called higher ranks, too—to whom the theories are stum- bling blocks. Yet dispatches as they reach us may be imperfect or incorrect statements of the views of the persons who are trying to diminish the glory. of Ein- stein’s great achievements. For, it is highly probably that the reporters of Europe’ are not of those who could intelligently write about matters: so profound, yet so rigidly reasoned. The latest dispatch claims that a man, who is “a cousin” of somebody, has “discovered a fundamental error in the Einstein theory,” and he “hopes for a public debate in which he can use ‘his ellipsoid [sie] to demonstrate Prof, Einstein's error.” Of course Professor Einstein may have made some errors in his ealcu- lations. Indeed some insignificant er- rors were found as far back as 1918, when the British astronomers, during an eclipse of the sun, made experi- mental demonstration of the correct- ness (in principle) of one of his pre- dictions based on his theories. His prediction, expressed numerically, was found to be slightly in error in the fourth or fifth place in decimals, or something like that. But his fun- damental theories are as well éstab- lished with those who comprehend them as are the theories of Newton (of which Einstein’s are an extension, not a eontradiction) and of Darwin, to those who comprehend them. ‘The funny part of the dispatch a- bove referred to—aside from the ref- erence sto “his ellipsoid"—was the statement that a “former premier” (of France) had “reached the “same conclusions” as the man with the ellipsoid but by a different method; which-parallels the fact that one of our former “premiers” (Hon. Wm. J. Bryan) has coneluded—or discovered —that the theories of evolution are slush. It would be interesting to know what the reporter meant by “his ellip- soid.” Very likely he supposed it to be some sort of apparatus. While discussing Einstein it should be borne in mind that he is a Jew— a member of the despised race of Europe. Nevertheless he is a pro- fessor in a German university.” The Cynic wonders if there is not some relation of effect and cause in the two parts of an article in last week’s Tribune, to wit: “Rev. J. S. Carroll, who for the past three years has been pastor of Asbury Church on K Street, was made Superintendent of the Annapolis dis- trict.” soe se “Rey Carroll was very active in church circles in Washington. He was president of the Ministerial Alliance and a member of the Committee of Seven. Since coming to. Washington he has taken an active part in both church and civic matters.” This action in removing Rev. Car- roll from Washington was taken by the Conference of the M. EB, (not A. M. E.) Church which recently met at Clarksburg, W. Va. Readers of the Tribune, who recall some of the activities of the Minister- ial Alliance, and especially of the Committee of Seven, culminating in the convention and the address to the Arms Conference, will require no fur- ther elucidation. Whatever be the offense—if offense at all—committed “against the peace and dignity” of Howard University, or its trustees, by Professor W. H. H. Hart, The Cynic feels that in view of his long and valuable services to the Law School and to the race, the trus- tees could have protected the honor and dignity of the school—if it needed it—by a “sentence” less severe than peremptory and complete dismissal. At Professor Hart’s age, and in view of all the circumstances, such drastic action is almost equivalent to a “sen- tence of death.” THE CYNIC LIBERIAN LOAN GIVEN ANOTHER SETBACK The long negotiated-for Liberian Loan, which has several times been re- ported in various weeklies as having been made, came up for consideration before the Ways and Means Com- mittee of the House last week. Af- ter hearing statements offered by both State and Treasury Department of- ficials, the committee deferred gction on the measure for at least two weeks. ‘The representations that caused the committee to defer action was to the effect that certain American and-Brit- ish bankers had already made ad- vance of $2,000,000 to the Liberian government. Some of the committee members felt that some of the pro- posed $5,000,000 loan would be used to pay off this indebtedness, Presi- dent Harding, however, has endorsed the loan. : Dunbar High School is planning a three day musical festival, which will be given the first week in May under the direction of Mr. Jas, Coroan, The first evening the pupils will render the operetta “Bells of Beanyolais”; the second evening’s program, will be a musical carnival and the third an evening with prominent musical ar- tists. For good results ae in the CONGRESS AND THE SOLDIERS’ BONUS | The great American pres sis the barometer by which we read Ameri- can sentiment upon all great issues, ‘national or inter-national. Whether that sentiment correctly guages the mandates of the capitalistic barons, or the interpretations of wily politi- ‘cians, or the views of the man in the strete, is of little consequence; the op- position is at once impelled to brand it as propaganda, Such has been the fate of all attempts at bonus legisla tion—compelled to run the gauntlet of propaganda. Its political value was readily ree- ognized as campaign material by both great parties. The party now in power, true to its pledge, speedily enacted a form of legislation that met with general approval, only to have it in- terred by President Harding and Sec- retary Mellon. Because of this sec- tion propagandists raised the hue and cry of “Wall Street.” But let us face the facts. The country is now confronted with a 2210 per cent increase of the na- tional debt as a result of the war. Because of this condition the minori- ty party, quick to sense every politi- cal advantage, eagerly seized the bonus question, to saddle it upon the backs of the weary taxpayers. So upon the eve of a natinoal election members of the majority party in Con- gress find themselves without courage to recognize a spade when it is dis- guised as a club. Despite an active campiagn thruout the states by advocates of. the bonus, ‘there are thirty-two states that have not yoted for a bonus and in those states there are 64,000,000 people. In eight states where the bonus has been defeated, there is a population | of 16,000,000 people. The inference is easily drawn as to whether the people favor a further raid upon the federal treasury or not. Public sentiment favors all legisla. tion for hospitalization and other cares forthe wounded and maimed. But to let polities inject its sinster influ- ence against popular opinion would indeed oe tragedy,,.

W. C. A. AGAINST MOB LAW TRIALS (By T. Edward Hill) Charleston, W. Va.—‘“The mob spirit dictated this conviction.” “The blood thirsty mob spirit permeated the atmosphere of the trial and had its effect upon Court and jury.” ‘The above quotation is from a unan- imous opinion of the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals written by Judge Frank Lively and handed down Tuesday ordering a new trial of Harry Lattimer, Negro, convicted in the Circuit Court of Mingo County on the charge of raping an eight-year old white girl on September 6, 1921. The same day he was arrested and within 24 hours had been indicted, tried, convicted, sentenced to be hanged and was on his way to the ‘state penitentiary, according to the records of the case. The reason for this exceeding hurried convietion is apparent in the statement from the circuit court, which has been made part of ‘the record. In this statement the judge of the circuit court said: “I know that feeling was running high against the accussed, in and about the court, and I had some fear of mob vio- lence being inflicted on the accused if speedy justice were not meted out to him by the court.” é _ Judicial Lynching “The mob spirit has dictated this conviction,” said Judge Lively, in his opinion. “The blood-thirsty mob spirit permeated the atmosphere of the trial, and -had its: effect upon the court and jury. The defendaat may he guilty; that does not concern us. But he is entitled to fait and: impar- tial. trial; to the-calm, deliberate’ and unintended Judguient of: his -peers. Orderly and constituted: govertments such trial.—It is » safeguard in which all members of sociéty are vatevested and which should be jeal- ously upheld and guarded. A judicial Ipnching is a graver and more start- ling evime than a lynching by an it responsible rabble. It undermines the foundation of orderly government and weakens respect for law and or- cer. There shouid be no compromise with the spirit of lynching for any crime.” “What we have said is entirely im- personal,” he saysand is not to be considered as reflecting upon the con- duct of the officials in charge of the case, The circumstances may have im- pelled the choice of what was con- sidered the lesser evil. The duty is therefore imperative on this court to annul the result brought about by a choice of evils, and to preserve to every member of society, however humble he may be, or however guilty he may be, the right of fair and im- partial trial.” Syllabus in Case In the syllabus in the case, Judge ‘Lively said: “Where a person has been arrested for an alleged crime, com- mitted on the day of the arrest, and on the day following is indicted, tried, convieted, sentenced to hang, and im- mediately taken to the penitentiary for that purpose, and it appears that he has been given no time to prepare: his defense, was assigned counsel af- ter he announced that he was ready for trial and plead not guilty, and the judge certifies that he knew that feel~ ing was running high against the accused in and about the court house, and that he had some fear of mob vio- lence being inflicted upon the ac- cused if a speedy trial was not had; and it appears that no witnesses were summoned for the defendant, no mo- tion made for change of venue, im- proper evidence admitted on the trial without objection on the prisoner’s part, and a feeble and perfunctory de- fense interposed, the appellate court will set aside the verdict and award the prisoner a new trial, because he has not been accorded a fair and im- partial trial.” Hemstitching and Picot Edging Plaiting KNIFE, BOX, AND ACCORDION BUTTONS COVERED Quality the very best.

He was awarded the Goncourt prize for 1921 for a novel he wrote called "Batouala" He was born at Bordeaux, France, and he was educated in that country. Rene Maran is the first Negro to receive the Goncourt prize. The awarding of this prize was instituted in 1903 and bears its name in honor of de Goncourt, the famous French writer. The author of "Batouala" did not know his book was being considered by awarders of this coveted prize at Academie Goncourt. Receiving this prize distinguishes him as being the first man about whom so little is known, to receive it; former recipients having been persons well known in the literary world. "Batouala" and the book "Epithalaine" received equal votes for the prize. There being five votes for each book. The president of the Academie cast the deciding vote in favor of Maran's book. "Epithalaine" was written by a white writer, Pierre Chardonne. Maran is, also, a writer of verse which has been accepted by some of the leading periodicals of France. The book drew much attention because of the ill treatment and oppression of the black subjects of France in Africa by the French Colonial officers. One's body is not clean if the teeth are not clean. When we fail to respect ourselves we cannot demand respect from others. To know the history of one's own race makes it easier to forge ahead. Aim to own your own home, when you grow into manhood. Be it ever so humble there is no place like home—but try to let it be your own home. GIRLS FRIENDSHIP ASSOCIATION At the meeting of the Girls Friendship Association of March 24 the members studied their association prayer and exchanged thoughts on their interpretation of it. The prayer is as follows: "Heavenly Father, as we assemble together, we thank Thee for Thy guidance and strength. Teach us to forget, that we may still love those with whom we may have been displeased. Help us to learn that peace will not abide in deceit or revenge; but may be found in a happy and charitable spirit. Grant that we may look for the good and not the evil in others." May we say what we know is right and give our sincere help and encouragement for the sake of our weaker sisters. May we ever use our lives for Thy honor and praise. Amen." All of the girls learned something of the meaning of the prayer which they did not know before. All girls are invited to join. Meetings are held at the Metropolitan Baptist Church weekly. EDNA JAMISON, Correspondent HUSBANDS Tis a long way to look but it's time to mention this fact. A trifling boy makes a trifling man, and, of course, a trifling man is apt to make a trifling husband. Each boy should be industrious, kind, and thrifty. Each girl should be industrious and learn a trade or profession, for by so doing you can be independent enough to wait for a good worthy person and not accept some masculine makeshift for a husband. Girls, make mother your companions. MY NEIGHBOR'S BOY He goes on Sunday to the church And sits among the boys, He sticks the books with chewing He sticks the books with chewing gum The smaller boys he teases; He worries every one in church With artificial sneezes. He never learns a thing at school, He's always playing hooky; Sometimes I see him hanging 'round To steal my ginger cookies. He steals my apples and my pears, He steals my plums and peaches, Some day I'll turn old Fido loose To shake him by the breeches. He throws his stones right 'gainst my house. house, He breaks my window sashes; He throws mud-balls at my clean clothes, My window screens he slashes, He is the darnest little pest That ever was created— I'm glad my little angel son And he are not related. My son a perfect model is: Moreover what's a blessing He studies hard at home each night So as to learn his lessons. He never steals, nor lies, nor fights Nor tease his fellow boys, Nor go to church or Sunday school To kick up lots of noise. But my! That boy who lives next door, With you I'm on the level: That little shrimp who lives next door, Why! he's a perfect devil. I know he's going to end in jail, Or to the gallows wend his way; While my little angel boy Will be President some day. C. L.

If I only had three wishes That would be granted me, I wouldn't lose a minute Who'd come right straight to you And tell you that my wishes are That your wishes may come true FREDERICK DOUGLASS By Texanna Bannister, Age 13 Frederick Douglass, an American orator and journalist, once a slave, was born near Easton, Md. about 1817 He ran away from his master in 1838 and took up his residence at New Bedford, Mass. In 1814 he began to lecture against slavery and became well known as an orator. He was sometimes called, "Douglass, a Champion of Women's Rights." In 1845 he published an account of his life and in the same year he made a visit to England where he lectured eloquently before a large audience. In 1847 he published a journal at Rochester, N. Y. When the war broke out he urged the employment of colored troops and he helped to organize regiments. In 1869 he became editor of the "New National Era" at Washington. He was appointed Minister to Haiti by President Harrison [in 1889]. He died February 20, 1895. DIDO According to the old stories of the ancient world, Dido was the founder of Carthage. She was the daughter of the king of Tyre and the sister of Pygmalion. Pygmalion succeeded the throne, murdered Dido's husband, and her uncle, Sichaeus, who was a priest of Hercules. He searched in vain for the treasure that Sichaeus was known to have. With this treasure and many followers, Dido escaped to sea. She landed in Africa, so the story continues, near Utica, and built a city called Byrsa—meaning "the hide of a bull,"—on a piece of land which she bought. It is said she bargained for as much land as could be covered by a bull's hide. Once the agreement was made, she cut the hide into small thongs and so surrounded a large piece of ground, on which rose the city of Carthage.

FAMOUS SAYINGS BY FAMOUS NEGROES Crispus Attacks: "The soldiers were but passive instruments, mere ma- chines; neither moral nor voluntary agents in our destruction, more than the leaden pellets with which we were wounded." Frederick Dougalss: "Gentlemen, by ignoble actions I may degrade myself, but nothing and no man can degrade Frederick Douglass." Booker T. Washington: "From my earliest childhood I have always had it implanted in me that it never pays to be dishonest, and that reward, at some time, in some manner, for the performance of conscientious duty, will always come, and in this I have never been disappointed." Dunbar: "To have achieved something for the betterment of his race rather than for the aggrandizement of himself, seems to be a man's best title to be called representative." Charles W. Chestnutt: "The right of American citizens of African descent commonly called Negroes, to vote upon the same terms as other citizens of the United States, is plainly declared and firmly fixed by the Constitution." DuBois: "The Negro race, like all races, is going to be saved by its exceptional men." Harriet Tubman: "A live runaway slave can do great harm by going back, but a dead runaway can tell no secrets." Anselmas Plancianos: "I will bring back these colors in honor, or report to God the reason why." CARTHAGE Carthage was a city on the north coast of Africa, the capital of one of the great empires of the ancient world. It stood on a peninsula of the region that is now called Tunis. Carthage was, perhaps, founded about the middle of the 9th century B.C. by Phoenicians from Tyre or from the Tyrian colony of Utica. About the 6th century B.C., it appears as the center of a great commerce, and the capital of wide dominions in Africa, Sardinia, Sicily, Corsica, and probably Malta. In 525 B.C. Carthage narrowly escaped destruction at the hands of Cambyses, the Persian King, and in 509 B.C. occurred her first treaty with the rising power of Rome. About this time began the contest between the Carthaginians and the Greeks for the possession of Sicily. Greece had settled a large part of that island with her colonies, and while she was engaged in her struggle with Persia, Carthage decided to wrest Sicily from her. This war was carried on 250 years and in 276 B.C. when the war came to a close Carthage was victor. At this time Rome contested Carthage's sovereignty of the Mediterranean and in 264 B.C. began the great Punic wars. By the close of the first of these wars, in 241 B.C. Carthage had lost Sicily; but her general, Hamilcar, and his son-in-law, Hasdrubal, built up a new power in Spain, and at their death, Hannibal, the son of Hamilcar, one of the greatest generals the world has ever known, found himself able to renew the struggle. In 219 B.C. the second Punic war started. Hannibal left Spain, crossed the Alps, descended into Italy, and, in battle after battle, with inferior forces, he routed the best soldiers of the ancient world. He brought Rome to the edge of ruin but he failed to keep the support of his own people. Arnold, the esteemed historian said well when he asserted it was the war of a man with a nation. After fifteen years in Italy, Hannibal was recalled to defend his own city, and in 202 B.C. he was defeated by Scipio at the battle of Zama. Rome was resolved to destroy Carthage and after the third Punic war which lasted two years, razed the city to the ground. Later Carthage became one of the chief cities of the Roman empire. In the 5th century A.D., it became the capital of the Vandal kingdom of Africa, and it was destroyed at the end of the 7th century by the Arabs. The government of Carthage was carried on by two chief magistrates and a senate of the leading families. The Carthaginians were a great trading people. Their ships sailed as far west as the Azores and as far north as Britain and the Baltic. There was at that day an immense trade with the interior of Africa, as well as with the Gallic tribes. At the time of the siege of Carthage by the Romans, the city is said to have had a population of 700,000 inhabitants. LETTERS FROM OUR LITTLE FRIENDS Dear Editor: I have been quite busy with my school work and I have not had time to work the puzzles. I am sending in answers for this week. I enjoy working them very much. I hope I will, at least be a "Special" or an "Honor Child." OLEVIA MORRIS (Age 12) (I wish you success with your studies. Do not wait until you have answers ready before you decide to write to the "Page." Write at any time on any subject you care to—Ed.) My dear Editor: Enclosed you will find some answers to questions and puzzles. I am going to try and write an Easter poem. On March 30, we, the freshmen at Dunbar, had a play. Among the characters represented in this play were Mutt and Jeff, Lady Bountiful, Mr. and Mrs. W., Hans and Fritz, and Betty and Lester De Pester. The play was directed by Mr. Menard. The audience seemed pleased and I think the play was fine. Collins George, whom you met, was Percival in the Lady Bountiful scene and I was Hans in the Katzanjammer scene. **HENRY S.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES: ONE YEAR $2.50; SIX MONTHS $1.25 DYER BILL SLEEPING The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill is fast asleep in the Senate Committee. Since Congressman Dyer and the rest of the four hundred thirty-five Congressmen will come up for re-election this fall, it was of course necessary that the House should pass some kind of a bill apparently beneficial to colored people. Mr. Dyer's re-election depends absolutely on the colored voters of St. Louis, and there are other Republican Congressmen who would not be in the House today were it not for the colored voters in their districts; nor can they return, if the colored voters withhold their support. Therefore, with the dissatisfaction among colored people all over this country, it appears necessary for the Republicans to do a little something as a camouflage, if they are to hold their colored voters this fall. The Dyer Bill was therefore passed and sent on to the Senate where it is peacefully sleeping its time of limitation away. If it is not passed before March 4th, 1923; it will automatically die with the ending of this, the 67th Congress. We have not been enthusiastic over INSURANCE COMPANIES SHOW RACE'S PROGRESS INSURANCE COMPANIES SHOW RACE'S PROGRESS (Continued from page 1) small business, and write $22,000,000 of new business. National Benefit The National Benefit Life is a home company. The largest item in their assets is the one of stocks and bonds—$525,602.76. Not much of that is distributed among colored people. They own real estate valued at $56,762. Their reserve amounts to $377,034. They have only been in the old line class for about two and a half years. This company is yet doing industrial business and paid out last year to its policy holders $181,105.53. They have a larger capital and surplus than either of the two mentioned above, which is $175,748.62. Southern Aid The Southern Aid Society of Virginia presents a very substantial statement. It ranks well up with the old line companies although it is of the industrial class. It had a premium income last year of $712,514.15. Its assets are well distributed—Cash on hand, $72,222.89; Real Estate owned, $358,266.71; mortgages, $86,082.40; stocks and bonds, $42,258. An outstanding feature of this company is the amount of its capital $30,000 and its surplus of $468,506.04 or a total of nearly a half million dollars on a $30,000 capital, making this stock the most valuable of any colored company in the United States. The American Woodmen is a fraternal insurance society and stands at the head of all societies of its class among colored people. Its statement shows assets of more than a million dollars. This is distributed as follows: $69,868.34 in first mortgages; $37,973.12 in Liberty Bonds; cash on hand and in the banks of the local camps; $317,906.97. This gives this society the lead in amount of cash. They have a reserve and surplus for the protection of policy holders amounting to $830,147.74. The total amount of insurance in force in these companies will pass the $100,000,000 mark. This is an economic factor that commands attention. More than a hundred million dollars of protection of colored people by colored people speaks volumes, especially when we realize that we have not been in the old line legal reserve business more than seven years. SEGREGATION IN BRANCH LIBRARIES (Continued from page 1) said Dr. Bowerman, "but I am not going to make myself a martyr and butt my brains out against the stone wall of prejudice." "Referring to the twelve letters of protest sent to the school board against the Houston resolution. They as well as the 'Bumble Bee' apparently were inspired." "Who inspired them?" forcefully asked Dr. Bowerman, sitting up straight from a reclining position. "I do not know," said the reporter. 8 President Managing Editor City Editor at your door by carrier for 5c a week. wstands and at all Drug Stores. be furnished on request. E YEAR $2.50; SIX MONTHS $1.25 the Dyer Bill, for, if passed, its enforcement would be in the hands of the same Administration as is the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments. The President and each official of the United States Government takes an oath to support and protect the Constitution, but have they lived up to their oaths as regards the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments? Every human in this country knows full well that they have not. There are more colored people in Mississippi and also in South Carolina than white. If the colored people were allowed to vote as these amendments prescribe they should, there would be at least four colored Senators and several Representatives in Congress many. Colored men would fill many local offices of the states and the Dyer Bill would not be needed. The Constitution and its Amendments have not been upheld and the oath of office has not been fully carried out by the executive officers of the National Government; therefore, what probability is there that the Dyer Bill would be enforced by these same officials who wink at the non enforcement of the above mentioned amendments? "Well, I didn't," said Dr. Bowerman. Race prejudice has invaded the Nation's Capital and made of it a Southern city of the first water.
