The Washington Tribune All the News That's Fit to Print Vol.I.No.49 VOTERS OF MARYLAND UP IN ARMS OVER CONDITIONS Bad Roads, Poor Schools and Lack of Representation Claimed The second meeting of the Citizens Welfare League of Prince George County Maryland, was held Tuesday night at Fairmount Heights, Md. The condition of the schools, poor roads, lack of representation and political recognition were discussed by the various speakers. The principal address of the evening was delivered by Prof. Silas J. Harris, of Kansas City, Mo. After reviewing the conditions of the county and the possibility for improving them, Prof. Harris said: "There is no one responsible for these conditions but the cowardly Negroes who are afraid to express themselves thru their vote. You have the votes by which these conditions can be changed; why don't you use them to your own advantage? You could send a colored man to Congress from this district, why don't you get together and make your votes count for something?" In concluding, Prof. Harris said he hoped this meeting would not result as most of our meetings do: "We meet, say what we ought to do and what ought to be done; but, we generally go away and forget all about what we resolved to do." Sergt. Coleman made a practical and pertinent speech. "This is the year for Prince George County to make good," said Mr. Coleman; "for I have quit working on promises. The Republicans are fixing up the same old sugar tits for us this fall, but I am thru with them and I want to see my people in Prince George County wake up and be men." "Sergt. Coleman spoke of the poor roads, poor school buildings, poorly paid teachers and said: "There is not a home here in Fairmount Heights but pays at least $15.00 in taxes and what do we get for it? . It is all going to Annapolis and none of it ever comes back to us for improvements." It was stated by Prof. J. A. Armstrong that the people of Fairmount Heights are paying taxes on $350,000 worth of property. The colored people of the 5th Congressional District of Maryland, of which George is one of the six counties, are sore over the lack of representation given them by Congressman Sidney E. Mudd. He has failed them, they allege, and they have made up their minds to run a colored man for his seat in the House. Mrs. Monon L. Gray, 1721 U St., president of the colored women's Republican Club, was a speaker at this meeting. Her teme was unity. She said that the colored women should unite and show the colored men there is power in the ballot and honor in voting. The expressions of the various speakers demonstrated that the colored people are alive to the political situation and are watching the records of their representatives in Congress. They must either rise or fall on their records. Out of the six Congressmen from Maryland, onely one voted for the Dyer Bill. The people are watching these things and are determined to let the moral cowards remain at home. BIRD HOUSES EXHIBITED BY SCHOOL CHILDREN The children of the 10-13 divisions of the Public Schools of the District of Columbia exhibited bird houses and nature charts at the Armstrong High School April 10 to 13th. This exhibit closed Thursday evening with a debate, the subject of which was "Whether or not the English Sparrow should be allowed to maintain its habitat in the United States." This debate was given by the pupils of the seventh grade from Wilson and Mott schools. Negative and affirmative speakers from both schools were presented by Belle Tobias, a pupil in the seventh grade at Mott School. Published Weekly LIEUT. KEY RESGUES WHITE WOMAN Lieut. J. G. B. Key of No. 4 Engine Co., rescued a white woman during a fire this week at 335 Maryland Ave., S. E. The woman, Mrs. Sophie Fields, age 42 was overcome by smoke and Lieut. Key rescued her just in time to save her life. She was sent to Casualty Hospital in a critical condition.

Mass meetings will be held every Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock during the drive period—April 23rd to May 15th. Many churches of the city have granted the association permission to use their auditoriums for mass meetings. The entire district will be canvassed by workers who will work under the direction of captains. The mass meetings for each Sunday of the drive will be held at the John Wesley A. M. E. Zion church, corner 14th and Corcoran Streets, N. W. ASSOCIATED CHARITIES APPEAL FOR SUPPORT The Associated Charities, which is one of the strongest charitable organizations in the city, conducting a campaign for members. This organization through its workers is doing a great work in relieving the needy and helpless. Its work covers both races. Two districts of the association are in charge of Colored workers. Mrs. Glen is a field worker; Mrs. Emmett J. Scott is chairman of the 7th Dist. and Dr. Harold C. Stratton is chairman of the 2nd Dist. Memberships in the organization are divided into five classes. Per year Associate, $2; Active, $5; Special $10; Sustaining, $50; Capital, $100. A person can take out any kind of membership desired. Many notable acts of charity have been done by this organization and it deserves the support of all. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, APRIL 15, 1922 BIRTHDAY OF GEN. GRANT TO BE CELEBRATED Fitting Ceremonies to Commemorate Race's Greatest Friend The 100th anniversary of the birth of General Ulysses S. Grant will be fittingly observed at the John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, Thursday evening, April 27th, under the auspices of the Forward Movement of Freling-huysen University and other societies. The Negro race received more recognition under president Grant than any other. It was during Grant's administration that the 15th Amendment to the Constitution was adopted; that the first Colored men were appointed as ministers to foreign countries (John F. Quarilles in Spain and Henry C. Waggoner in France); that the first colored postmasters were appointed; that West Point Military Academy and Annapolis Naval Academy were opened to colored men. It was President Grant who appointed John M. Langston as Sanitary Commissioner of the District and Frederick Douglass as a member of the High Joint Commission to Santo Domingo; and to many other positions of note were colored men appointed during his administrations. Many prominent men will appear on the program. Admission of 25 cents will be charged at the door for the benefit of the university. SUBURBAN GARDENS TO HAVE MANY NEW ATTRACTIONS The Suburban Gardens are destined to be a real pleasure resort this season according to the announcement of the promoters. When the curtain goes up this year, many new improvements will be noted. A new scenic railway will be added along with a whip, Ferris wheel and other fun makers. All of last year's equipment will be completely overhauled and everything will be spic and span when the season opens. Due announcement will be made through this paper of the grand opening. ASK LEGISLATURE TO PETITION CONGRESS Boston, Mass.—The National Equal Rights League through its officers in this city sent a petition to the legislature of Massachusetts, urging that the U. S. Senate and its judiciary committee make lynching a federal crime. The petition was admitted to the Massachusetts Senate under a suspension of the rules and referred to its committee on federal relations.

BOWERMAN, PUBLIC LIBRARIAN REPLIES TO ARTICLES IN TRIBUNE Believes That Change from Present System Very Unlikely Mr. Geo. F. Bowerman, librarian of the Public Library, has written a letter to The Tribune setting forth his views on the present library controversy. Mr. Bowerman's letter presents his side of this affair. His letter to The Tribune is herewith reproduced: April 11, 1922 Editor, The Washington Tribune: In order that your readers may not misunderstand the real attitude of the Board of Trustees and Librarian of the Public Library of the District of Columbia, I think it is desirable to supplement with a further statement the article entitled "Segregation in branch libraries first proposed in 1917" that appeared in your issue of April 8. The inference that one is likely to draw from that article is that I have been engaged in "insidious propaganda for race prejudice." Such an inference is grossly unfair. I prepared in 1917 at the request of the District Commissioners, a report on branch library development, with special reference to branches in school buildings, and that report, after approval by Library Trustees (ther composed of Messrs. Theodore W Noves, (President), Wendell P. Staffor; (Vice President), C. J. Bell, B. W Guy, J. B. Larner, S. W. Woodward, D. A Edwards, W. McK. Clayton, and H. S. Matthews, was forwarded to the District Commissioners and by them referred to the Board of Education. It was considered by a joint committee of the Library and School Boards, of which joint committee Mrs. Coralie F. Cook was a member. The report was approved by the School Board and when published formed part of the annual report of the Board of Library Trustees and also a part of the report of the District Commissioners. That report did contain the sentences quoted in your issue of last week: "Both the white and colored races have always 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 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." That is not "propaganda," much less "insidious propaganda"; it is simply a statement in an altogether public and official way of a policy adopted by the Board of Library Trustees, agreed to by the Board of Education, and approved by the District Commissioners. So far as the Board of Library Trustees is tween Schol and Library Bards on the subject of branch libraries in public school buildings is based on that special report of 1917. The reason for assuming that the use of the proposed branches in school buildings would be limited to the race using the school was the well-established policy of the Board of Education. It was realized that if libraries were to be established in school buildings they would be there largely on suffrance and as guests and that their administration must conform and be acceptable to the schol administration. Far from attempting to create race prejudice it is possible to point to the fact that the Library Trustees and Librarian have all these years since 1896 stood out against many efforts that have been made in the direction of a separation of races in the main library and branches in separate buildings, which are under the exclusive control of the Library Board. Any change from the present policy I believe to be extremely unlikely. The proposal to have the branch libraries in colored schools conducted by colored librarians has always been a part of the declared policy of the Library Board and Librarian. Such a proposal was contained in this same , PUBLIC REPLIES TO ES IN TRIBUNE EASTER MUSIC AT HOWARD THEATER Wooding Singers and Branson and Lee's Orchestra Features The management of the Howard Theater is offering the public a big musical treat on Easter Sunday, the 16th. At the three regular shows, 4, 6:30 and 9:15 the feature pictures will be supplemented by the Wooding Jubilee Singers and Branson & Lee's Syncopated Orchestra, comprising forty men under the leadership of Mr. A. Russell Wooding. The Wooding Jubilee Singers, an aggregation of male singers, have entertained the most prominent people in every section of the country. Among the most notable out of town concerts, were those given in Washington, Philadelphia and New York, in company with Ford Dabney's "Ziegfeld Follies" Syncopated Orchestra of New York City. The singers in this aggregation are: Vernon Porter, Thomas Heathman, James Lomack, George Battle, Claude Amos and William Cooper. A. Russell Wooding is their Director and Accompanist. Branson and Lee's Syncopated Orchestra is composed of the choicest material in town and was organized by Messrs J. Randolph Branson and Roscoe Lee. These gentlemen saw the need of amalgamating the various first class small orchestras, into one grand concert aggregation. While the instrumentation is not strictly symphonic, the orchestra is admirably equipt to interpret any grade of music artistically. The seekers of Easter music will find the Howard's program about the best in town. ORDERED OUT OF PARK BY TRAFFIC OFFICER Mrs. Jda Dorsey of 2711 Sheridan Ave., S. E. while sitting in the park adjacent to the Public Library on New York Ave., about three weeks ago, was accosted by a traffic policeman and told to vacate her seat because the park was for the use of white people. Immediately, Mrs. Dorsey got up in astonishment and questioned the officer's authority, but the officer left without saying a word and before Mrs. Dorsey could get his number. Later Mrs. Dorsey took the matter up with the head of the traffic department, with offices in the Lemon Building, and an investigation of the affair was begun. The officer was located and brought before his superiors, where he admitted the charges. He apologized to Mrs. Dorsey and asked her not to push the charges stating how much responsibility he had. Refusing to withdraw her charges, the officer was tried and withdrawn from day service and placed on the night shift for thirty days, and reprimanded by his superiors. The annual sermon services of the Elk Lodges showed the greatest progress yet made. The Elk Lodge 85, had their exercises at Howard Theater, Lodge 40 at Dunbar High School with music by their own band. Both places were beautifully decorated. special report of 1917. The proposal to have such librarians trained at the Howard University Library was mine. I had not supposed that a proposal to afford additional opportunities of employment to educated colored persons would be regarded as any very strong indication of race prejudice. GEORGE F. BOWERMAN, Librarian, Public Library Circulation Books Open To All PRICE 5 CENTS COLORED STUDENTS WIN IN ESSAY CONTEST COLORED STUDENTS WIN IN ESSAY CONTEST Two Night School Students Among Seventeen Who Were Successful Seventeen students of our public schools were listed with the prize winners in the "Star's Prize Essay Contest" on the Disarmament Conference. The prizes were awarded Saturday morning at the Star building. There were twenty children in the ten dollar class. Of this number, six were from the colored schools. In the five dollar class there were fifty, eleven from the colored schools. The assistant superintendent, Garnet C. Wilkinson, and the teachers of the various schools represented, are proud of the winners. Of the seventeen that won, two were from the Dunbar Night High School, viz., Messrs. Reddick Watson and Gustave Oger. They were among the ten dollar winners. These two young men deserve commendation for proving to the day students that they have no advantage over a night student when he wishes to study. Miss Mary E. Nalle is the instructor of these young men in English, under Prof. G. David Houston, principal of the Dunbar Night High School. The night schools of the District have been well attended and the winning of the ten-dollar prizes by two of the night students should be an incentive to others to take advantage of the opportunity offered thru them. The time, research and effort required to keep tab on the Disarmament Conference, the attention necessary to produce an essay worthy of entrance into a city-wide contest, the patience and perseverance required for such excellent work speaks volumes for the students who entered the contests; and the parents and teachers who assisted the students should be commended. Prof. Kelly Miller, of Howard University, was one of the five judges in the contest. WHITE WOMEN CONDEMN LYNCHING Committee Organized to Promote Christian Principles in Race Relations Dallas, Tex., (Special)—Declaring that "lynching is the black spot on America's soul," that "we have no security unless the law protects us," and that "law and order must be maintained at all costs," leading women from all parts of Texas met in Dallas a few days ago and organized for the purpose of seeking a Christian solution of the tangled problem of race relations. Mrs. Jessie Daniel Ames of Georgetown was elected Chairman and Mrs. John S. Turner of Dallas, secretary. The membership of the committee embraces representatives of the principal civic and religious organizations of the State, Mrs. Percy V. Pennybacker being a notable figure in the group. A strong address was drafted and given to the public, recognizing the condition of the Negro in the South as a community problem affecting the welfare of both races and demanding for its solution the application of the principles of humanity and justice. An appeal was made for the rights of every child to a reasonable chance in life and for a single standard of morality that will protect the womanhood of all races. The women's committee will function as a section of the Texas Committee on Inter-Racial Co-operation, the purpose of which is to organize in every community where race relations constitute a serious problem a group of the best people to study local conditions and needs and deal with them intelligently and in a Christian spirit. Dr. J. C. Hardy is chairman of the State Committee. It was stated that in many communities the plan had averted threatened trouble and displaced acute situations by confidence and good will. The Amphions - The Orioles - Dunbar High, April 25th, All Seats 75c One Day Last Week All Over Town With Jay Bee! "Tis Saturday a. m. A sure-enough Spring morning. The bulls of the 8th precinct have all shed their old rusty bennies and I too. 'Twas a real treat to the bunkist, as referred to by Les Frazier, the Kid's Idol, to be able to lay away the three-winter-old comfort. 'Twas a full-fledged' sweeze-back. 'Twill be willing to my filius, Buster D. Arose earlier than usual, because I had pulled a Howard Midnite Show gag, that really was a scream. Got the sheets about sun-up. Having been out getting bucks for the gang (five in all) I was pitied by the Mrs., because of my weariness. Before you read further, lamp off the new head for this column of muss. 'Twas executed in the "stewdio" of the bunk ed. He broke two mirrors trying to get a likeness, which means, according to the superstitious, fourteen years of bad luck, in addition to what I have already had. I may be doomed, but I'm not discouraged. Now, for a few words about the Midnite Show. You see, 'twas proposed several weeks ago, that the writer promote a jazz band skirmish, and believe me 'twas some job. At the outset, there were about ten bands slated to compete. On the night of the affair, only three showed up. Oh well! such is the way among your people. However, the affair was a distinct success. Everyone seemed to have been entirely satisfied, except the rooters for the band that really won (Snowden's). "Unk Dud" awarded fifty cold smackers to Walter Slade, a piano player of exceptional ability, who acted as the leader of the adjudged winning combination, in lieu of the real leader, a shrewd bird, named Anderson. This Anderson chap is the ham fiddler, who, in an effort to eccentric, fouled, when he tossed his bow into the air and the floor caught it. Duke had a fair line-up that included Otto Hardwick, the saxophone hound, but with the very liberal assistance of an instrument that sounded mighty like unto a wagon wheel that had not been on speaking terms with A.X.L.E. Grease for months, Duke was completely outjazzed. Better luck next time, old thing. "Twas too much brass, Bill. Twas a wonderful gathering of jolly folk. Among some of those present were Mahogany Hall Henry Crowder, jassicist of Penn Garden fame, Winkler, Nixon, and a flock of Jazzologists from out of town. Seated close to the ringside were Charley Johnson of the Dreamland and Al Howe of the Ex-Poodle Dog, Blackwell of the Subway, Ex-Prestolite, Johnny Hamilton, the well known barber shop tenor and a score of other midnite rounders. Through the kindness of Mrs. Raymond H. Murray, we had the exquisite pleasure of having Mr. Raymond H. Murray with us until the show was over. Ray says that it was the first midnite show that he had ever seen.????? Blang! Blang! Blang! There goes the fire department. Everybody and everything stops. The chief, in high-powered machine, the hose-cart and THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, APRIL 15, 1922 the hook-and-ladder truck travel with such speed that only a streak of red is seen. Gee! But I'd rather see the "hosses." Haven't seen Captain Gibson's fire-eaters in action since last winter, but say bo, there's class to that bunch. They always figure prominently in the fires that occur in the downtown section of the city. Captain Gibson was formerly a member of the crew, Truck No. — Recently, he was made captain of No. 4, Engine which is stationed in the wealthiest section of the city, (S. W.) His gang includes, Lieut. Bennett Key, Sergt. R. J. Holmes, Privates: H. J. Williams, J. R. Bush, T. W. Rouse, J. F. Mills, H. Gaskins, F. P. Jackson, J. W. Sevenson, J. M. Carter, J. A. Briscoe, G. F. O'Brien, C. Young, A. A. King and W. T. Green. Breezed by the famous Cosmopolitan Baptist Church of which Rev. Simon P. W. Drew is the pastor. Rev. Drew is a widely known divine and he is a bench rally specialist, but the church still stands in the crying need of window panes. If you can remember O. D. Morris, the printer, then at your next birthday celebration, you should buy candles by the wholesale. However, the bunk ed. has a faint recollection of O. D. For years, the words, "printing" and "Morris" were synonymous. He is now associated with Walter Williams, a small printer on Ninth street. Walter, known all over the city and Georgetown too, as the "never-idle" printer, has done remarkably well. Lots of people are fasting because of the Lenten season, but since the races have begun at Bowie, many are fasting because of loose investments in oats. The cooking schools in our public school system need every possible encouragement. They are doing a great work. Had a youthful exponent of domestic science to call at my living place, and to demonstrate her culinary ability she baked a three-story caramel cake, with an over-abundance of ice and everything. The clever little visitor was none other than Miss Alice Lomack of the 1st year, Armstrong Manual Traning School. There goes Ernest Amos one of the famous Amos Brothers, wholesale songsters of note. Ernest is teaching voice culture in the public schools. The Amos boys include Pat, Ralph, Claude and Jim—all warblers. Claude sings with the Wooding Jubilee Quintette in conjunction with Branson and Lee's Syncopated Band which is scheduled to sing at the Howard Theatre Easter Sunday. Walked to the office in company with Tom and Ed Brooks. A few weeks ago, the column told of the past activities of friend Ed. Tom, like his brother is one of the boys of the good old days, when brass foot-rails were all the rage. Met our own copette, Mrs. Madeline Childs from the headquarters. Felt like getting pinched. Unassisted, Mrs. Childs is doing remarkable work among the delinquent group of our folk. Was informed that there is a vacancy, which could be filled if some conscientious colored woman would make an effort to qualify. Several young women have tried to pass the physical test, but all have failed. Wonder why some of the Rolling Pin Sorority don't make an effort to land this berth. Through the kindness of Wesly Ingraham, a double-breasted piano player and mover, the bunk ed. relates with pleasure a few recollections of the Orinoco Club. At the time this club From the CYNIC'S Notebook Who reads the editorials in the daily papers? This question came up in a small company in which The Cynic found himself a few nights since. On making a "survey" of the company it was found that the average daily editorial reading ranged from about one half of one per cent by Professor Kelly Miller and Mr. L. M. Hershaw, down to none at all by The Cynic. When it is remembered that the men named are among our best informed men as to current affairs, it must surely make pertinent the question above asked. But note the fact that the question pertains to the "daily" papers. These men—as well as The Cynic—do read editorial matter, that is, comment and opinion, but rarely ever, except perhaps out of a lazy or cynical curiosity, that which appears in the daily press. Some readers of this may now jump to the 'conclusion that these men greedily and perhaps exhaustively read the "news." Not likely do they. Certainly The Cynic does not; his newspaper reading seldom extends to one half hour in a single day—on Sundays much less. If you wonder how these men (excluding, of course, The Cynic) keep abreast of the times, as they surely do, think of what was said of Cuvier: that, from a single bone—any bone—he could reconstruct the entire animal to which the bone belonged or had belonged; for, it mattered not whether the animal were living or extinct, or whether Professor Cuvier had ever seen or heard of such a creature or its remains, he could reconstruct or describe it completely. Hence, gentle reader, without necessarily waiting to grow old and cyni- was in all its glory, there was a popular soft drink, known as the "Orinoco ——." The majority of the members chose this particular brand as the official beverage of the club, hence, the name. Some of the pass-words were: "here's how," "happy days," (hic). Some of the club members were John Brent, Ben Brent, Elmer Scott, Sonny Scott, Bill Penn and Ben Freeman. Can't think of any more at present. Met Howard Manly, the dentist and "rassler," and Glenarden Paul Scott at the Howard Jazzland. Manly is a clever mat man and a popular favorite in sport circles. Bro. Paul and the ed. are lodge brothers and news-gathers. We did the bend-arm gag and foot-battled twice. Peeped into the Dreamland, where everybody was teeming with gaiety. Hour rather late. Entertainers appeared rather haggard but they managed to muster courage enough to do some entertaining to get bucks. Mabel White, a Washington girl is a clever entertainer. When quite a little girl, she sang at the Hiawatha Theater. There are two other chirpers, who are all there with the blues stuff. Fell among a gang of jassicians, who were discussing the outcome of the jazz band contest. However, none of them agreed. Jammie Winkler taxied me home in his violet-colored gas-wagon a la gratis. cal, you, too, may. . . . For, it is only a matter of a little intensive study and correlated observation—in the case of the naturalist, of the anatomy and physiology of animals; and in the case of the newspaper reader, of the motivation and psychology of reporters and editors. And, since in the matter of editorials motivation is the main thing; and, since so far as any and all so-called current "questions" are concerned (notwithstanding disagreement as to methods) the motivation of the various editors varies only in intensity and in ability to camouflage itself—never in source and direction; since these things are ascertably true, it is unnecessary and profitless to spend time on the daily paper editorials; and it is not requisite for one to be a cynic or a philosopher to grasp these facts. Reverting to Professor Cuvier—not only could he from a single bone reconstruct the animal (not merely the skeleton, but put the flesh on it, describe the covering of skin or scales or hide etc.) but even if given a fabricated bone he would soon be able to say with confidence: "There aint no sich animal." To illustrate, as applied to newspapers—take the big newspaper "story" of about three years ago concerning the alleged attempt on the life of the Attorney General by exploding a bomb "in front of" his house "just a few minutes after he had left an open front window at which he had been sitting for an hour or more." (The Cynic is quoting from memory.) From that partial "bone" perhaps not even a cynic or a philosopher could mentally visualize what actually occurred and why it occurred. But when the story went on adding fragments—the supposed "red" had been blown to utter annihilation, body, bones, clothing and belongings, except one shoe, and, mirabile dictu, a printed hand-bill about 6x9 which was found whole at the spot (this hand-bill bearing a sinister printed manifesto such as you would suppose that a "red" would write), it required no uncanny intuition to surmise what really occurred and why. And hence The Cynic felt perfectly safe in smiling incredulously when his fellow-workers would rush to him—daily for a while, then less often, and finally only occasionally with accounts of arrests of "suspects" and with variations of the stock stories of "new evidence that would soon yield results," and "another party under surveillance," etc., etc. And so likewise, the Wall Street explosion (which did kill a score of working people); the German spy stories during the war; and right now a local (or almost local) "assault" case involving a Negro; and so on, and so on. Is it not plain that in these cases we are dealing with fabricated bones; that is, with bones that have been purposely and trickily altered in shape and form? What use then, with only these false clues, to pursue the search or follow those who pretend to be pursuing it? Quite legitimately now arises the question: What, then, shall we read to be informed on current matters, if we must eschew the daily panes? First of all let us reflect that we cannot understand what is transpiring about us, even if we think that we know what is going on, unless we are able to illumine the present with light and understanding from the past. Notice Brisbane's thought-provoking and incisive column, "Today," which appears in the Hearst papers. Do you not observe that his "today" is mostly written from history, and much of it ancient history at that? One thing sure, he did not and he does not acquire his education and his amazingly extensive information from the Hearst papers, if he reads them at all. Coming back to our question—What shall we read? only a hint can be given now (and this mainly for the young, whose habits and egoisms are not confirmed—if haply any should see this): give preference, strong preference, to the weeklies; for these are they which just now are mostly testifying of the things worth while. Another hint—it would be better as a rule to steer clear of the publications, weekly and monthly, with the pictured, garish, enticing covers, especially when you are seeking the real meat of things. Of course, when out for mere entertainment or diversion—of which all of us need some at least—you will . . . but more of this another time.

Harrison, of Oklahoma, is delivering here and there throughout the South, under the title, "Our Song of Hope."

He seems not concerned about lynchings, jim crowism, racial discriminations and other afflictions that the race endures. He leaves severely alone our political status. The Dyer Bill does not rise to the dignity of his attention. Economic, industrial and social inequalities have no place in his song. He does not sing notes of hope for a better day; he leaves all those things to somebody else or to some other institution to take care of.

He tells about heaven—about the golden streets, the beauty of the angels and the harmony of heaven; but is eloquently silent on the things worth while here, in order to fill our places acceptably and helpfully in the national life as American citizens. The judge seems careful not to say anything that will pieve the white man, and is contented to make such speeches as will get from the white folk letters of approval of his talks." Now, dear reader, the next time you hear a speech from one of our "stock" speakers, whether he be judge, professor, editor, or just plain Mr., compare it point by point (of course the order of the points may vary) with Judge Harrison's "Song of Hope." Note particularly the stress that will be laid upon the valor of the black soldiers (albeit not always historically correct) and their accomplishments for—for—well, not always for a purpose in which they have a profitable part. To make the comparison easier, memorize the Observer's enumeration of the "notes" in the Judge's song: (1) Faith in God, (2) Confidence in self. (3) Economy and industry, (4) Racial unity, (5) Race pride. In this connection may The Cynic be permitted to point out that, to the five notes of the Judge's song in one flat, one sharp, and three naturals, our local "stock" singers are now practicing up to add another note (wholly unobjectionable to those higher up). This note (which, whether sounded with merely the vox humana stop or the full diapason, sounds equally seductive) is called Race Health, or more specifically Improved Physique. So well does this note please both the gallery and the pit, that from a proper and useful minor, it is with "us" rapidly becoming a major; and that, too, notwithstanding Jesus on one occasion with incisive sarcasm asked; "Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" Matt. 6:27. THE CYNIC Y.W.C.A. The mid-day lenten services arranged by Mrs. Brent and the Bible Class were well attended and helpful. Mrs. Frances Boyce, the president, opened the week, and other meetings continued along the line of thought suggested by her. Her theme was "Service and Following Christ." The following have been visitors at the Phyllis Wheatley recently: Mrs. John R. Hawkins and Miss Hawkins, Mrs. C. W. Harrison of Boston, and Mrs. Lottie Sampson of Boston who has been a guest of Mrs. McAdoo. The Treble Cleff will give a musical program for the Membership Social on Thursday, April 27th. No admission and all are invited. On Thursday night of last week a party of young ladies of the Builders Club accompanied by Miss Ethel K. Graham, their president, and several other young ladies of the Elizabeth Carter Hostess Club, paid a visit to the soldiers at Mount Alto Hospital and furnished a pleasant evening's entertainment for the disabled men Saturday evening, April 8, the eight industrial clubs of the Phyllis Wheatley gave their first big club supper in the Cafeteria. A dainty repast was served by a committee from the various clubs. Club songs enlivened the spirit of the occasion and every one seemed happy. Mrs. E. M. Rising, a Y. W. C. A. director of Religious Education, was the guest of honor and gave an interesting and helpful address on the "Purpose of the Association." The club rooms were crowded and every one voted the occasion a great success. HOWARD UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW A Special Appellate Term of the Moot Court sat at this School Friday evening, April the 7th, on which occasion an appeal from a judgment sustaining a demurrer was argued. The controversy arose out of one of the questions asked in a recent examination in the subject of quasi contracts, and was ably taken care of by two of the students of the senior class, in the persons of Messrs. John W. Love, pro Walter H. Mazyck, contra, each presenting briefs which were so eloquently delivered that real doubt was left in the minds of the audience as to who should have the judgment. The student body, visitors and the members of the faculty present were held at respectful attention for nearly two hours and went away with the impression that the exercises ranked among the most important of its character in the history on the school. Both showed evidence of wide and careful preparation, carrying the tenor and conviction of papers prepared by experienced attorneys at the bar. Mr. Love receiving prolonged and loud applause not short of a real ovation, while Mr. Mazyck won for his client the judgment by a vote of two out of the WHY SUFFER? WHY SUFFER?

North State Improvement Co. Succeeding North State Improvement Co. Succeeding The Officers and Members of The Baptist Ministers conference of Washington and vicinity, Dr. M. W. D. Norman, President; Dr. J. I. Levings, Secretary are greatly elated over the recent addresses to the conference in the Metropolitan Baptist Church, R St., between 12th and 13th Sts., N. W., Dr. M. W. D. Norman, pastor, by Mr. J. F. Holland, president of North State Mutual Improvement Company, Inc. The address was a rare treat, a gem in its line and greatly enjoyed by all who had the good fortune and pleasure to hear it. Mr. Holland did not waste time with a lot of high sounding empty words, but drove direct to the point, by telling how that the Mutual Improvement Company started a few years ago with only a few dollars, and how it has advanced step by step, until now the Company controls one hundred and fifty thousand dollars worth of property in the District of Columbia. The phenomenal success of this Company is incontrovertible evidence of what a few honest, capable, energetic, determined colored men can do to help their race. Money invested in this Company yields 6 per cent interest and will be returned to the investor on demand. No company can do more and no man or set of men or organizations could wish for a better opportunity to help themselves and their race, than is afforded through this Company. The Ministers and other race loving men and women are looking forward with keen interest to the great mass meeting or conference to be held at the 12th Street branch of the Y. M. C. A. Monday, April 24th at 8 P. M. at which time we predict that the auditorium of the Y. M. C. A. will be crowded to hear the outline of the plans for the greater North State Mutual Improvement. The public will be given an opportunity at this meeting to invest in this safe and sound progressive organization. Mr. J. F. Holland succeeded the late Hon. John C. Dancy as President of this Company and has more than made good since his induction in the office. The other officers follow: Mr. J. D. Lipscomb, Treasurer Mr. H. C.

This game will be played on Diamond No. 8, Monument grounds. Another game between these same teams will be played on Friday, April 21. The Chicago Tribune says on its editorial page that "Dempsey is afraid of Wills,—not physically afraid to exchange wallops but afraid to take a chance with his title and the money he can make with it." Further it says "Dempsey claims there is no use talking about a match with Harry Wills. The public, whatever that is, has no interest in it." We think Mr. Dempsey under-estimates public curiosity. A great many people would like to know whether he is the heavyweight champion of the World or the white heavyweight champion until he fights Wills and proves it otherwise.

A tremendous spectacle, envisaging the war as reflected through two continents, it overwhelmed with a superb sense of power. In "The Conquering Power," his newest production, to be shown at the Dunbar Theatre, he works in an entirely different genre. Here we have an intensely intimate study of family life, a universal story of love and greed against the background of a French provincial town.

JESSE H. MITCHELL, President 1901 7th St., N.W. --- 6 ON YOUR FLOOR OR AT OUR PLACE Balzac's novel, "Eugenie Grandet," with swift-moving, masterful continuity, Mr. Ingram has illustrated it with pictures that have the tonal quality of great works of art; the soft lighting of the photography and the perfectly composed groupings give an exquisite sense of reality. It is a long stride from "The Four Horsemen" but as an artistic achievement, no less noteworthy. Although there are no official stars, three of the actors stand out with a stellar glow. Alice Terry, delicately beautiful and charming, gives a deeply moving performance as Eugenie; Rudolph Valentino, handsome and debonnair, plays the lover, Charles, with a wealth of warm Latin temperament and magnetism, and Ralph Lewis, remembered as the Stoneman of "The Birth of a Nation," is thrillingly convincing as Eugenie's miserly father.

Music Wellington Director Colu- Palm Sunday and Easter Music Bert Lytell in New "Crook" Drama "Alias Ladyfingers" Story of the Career of a Safe-Breaker Bert Lytell will be seen in another of those entertaining crook dramas when "Alias Ladyfingers," a Bayard Veiller production for Metro, comes to the Dunbar Theater April 21 and 22. This latest Lytell picture is a distinct departure from the more recent releases of the Metro star and gives Mr. Lytell a character somewhat similar to that he portrayed with such widespread success in "Alias Jimmy Valentine" when that stage success was made into a picture. BERT LYTELL in "LADYFINGERS" Unlike most of the usual run of crook dramas, "Alias Ladyfingers" deals with the career of the orphaned child of a family of wealth who by accident is brought to the attention of a notorious safe breaker. Because of the little lad's delicate hands, which earned him the name of "Alias Ladyfingers," he is educated in the risky art of opening strong boxes. His proficiency gains him a national reputation with the police who, while trying to trap him, learn that the much-wanted safe cracker is the heir to the fortune of his grandmother. The valuable pearls of that grandmother become a lure to Ladyfingers, who is ignorant of his relationship, and his entrance as a thief into the home where he is being sought as the heir brings about complications which make "Alias Ladyfingers" one of the most powerful dramas of the screen. A notable cast support Mr. Lytell in this production, including Ora Carew, as leading lady; Frank Elliott, Edythe Chapman, DeWitt Jennings and Stanley Goethals Lenore J. Coffee adapted it from the story by Jackson Gregory. Arthur Martiniell was photographer and A. E. Freuderman, art director. "Alias Ladyfingers" is booked for two days at the Dunbar Theater April, Friday 21st and Saturday, 22nd LETTERS TO EDITOR Editor of the Washington Tribune, Dear Sir: The fight that the good people of the Florida Avenue Baptist Church are making in court to oust the Rev. William A. Taylor recalls to my mind a similar fight made against him in the "Washington Bee" and for the same purpose, several years ago. The writer, at that time, reached the conclusion that this man was too small for this church, and the editor acquiesced. Afterward, the writer wrote a series of letters advising him [Rev. Taylor] to seek a field else- where. These letters were followed, the writer believes, by a series of edi- rorials advising the same thing. These appeals had no effect upon him. Phar- oh-like he went on punishing this people. Rev. Taylor and some of his friends have given him credit for doing a great work, overlooking the fact, that Langhorn and the good women, men and children did the principal part of the work before he was called to the pastorate of the church; and they kept it up until the church was paid for. He has done little else except to come in, and hang up his hat. It is true that the church has increased in numbers, but the principal credit should be given to deacon Langhorn and his crew. For some reason or other sinners seem to have no faith in him [Rev. Taylor] nor his sermons. He has carried on several revivals since he has been pastor of the church, but there were no results. Very few, if any sinners were converted. This fact, if he is a Christian, he must concede; because it can easily be proved. The trouble with this preacher and his faction, is that they need more education and a better knowledge of Music Forum Wellington A. Adams Lee's Syncopated Orchestra, direction A. R. Wooding in Easter program; the "Amphions" and the "Orioles" appear in joint concert at Dunbar; the Harmony Concert Co. in a Musical Overture; the "Musicians Protective Association" of the American Federation of Musicians are chartering members; Melville Charlton of New York, noted organist, will play for the "Atonement" when presented; a mammoth organ has been installed in Howard Theater; a pipe organ will be installed in Second Baptist Church in the near future; and preparation is being made for the presentation of "Negro Compositions" at Dunbar during "Music Week" by the Dunbar Song Leaders. This general activity among Washington music lovers bespeaks much for the advancement of Art and it is welcome, twice welcome, thrice welcome! The following pupils of Columbia Conservatory of Music rendered a pleasing program at the studio last week: Piano: Misses Ellen Ashe, Annie Weaver, Ethel Neverson, Emma Barber, and Alice King; Vocal: Miss Janie Greene and Mrs. Beatrice Freeman; Violin: George B. Crosby; Ukelele (acc. by piano) Richard Jones; Mandolin (acc. by piano) F. G. Holland. Highest monthly average 90%, Miss Ellen Ashe; Honor Roll, Miss Janie Greene; Honorary mention, Francis Greene. Class recitals are held monthly for benefit of the student body only. Students of Columbia Conservatory of Music recently organized a Music Club, naming it in honor of Roland Hayes, world's greatest colored tenor. Object of the Club is musical, educational advancement and social recreation. A series of "Music talks" by prominent musicians once or twice per month, free to the members and public as well, are among interesting features planned for the near future at the Conservatory parlors. Their first social will be held Tuesday evening April 25 at a private residence, for which cards may be had upon request at the office of the school, 1911 9th Street, N. W. any day.

All classwork will be resumed Tuesday morning April 18th at 8 o'clock.

In compliance with a communication from President Durke, the Tau Delta Sigma Fraternity will send, this week, letters to all graduate members urging them to return in June to attend the Alumni Day exercises. Of a large number of the Fraternity's graduate membership only a very few have returned, in recent years, for the annual meeting at their Alma Mater. Dunbar Notes An interesting program was given by pupils in Mr. Lanauez's Spanish Classes on Monday, April 10. The pupils who took part were: Misses Alishide Cardoza, Pearl Bailey, Marie Palm Sunday and Easter Music in the Churches—Greater Activity Among Local Music Circles Palm Sunday was ushered in with beautiful music in commemoratoroin of the Saviour's triumphant entry into Jerusalem and next Sunday, Easter, will witness a glorious culmination of the saddest event in the world's history, that of "Calvary" and the "Resurrection," both in song and sermon. Catholic and Protestant churches alike will vie in music of ecclesiastical character most befitting Easter-tide as the curtain rises on a scene of splendor and color next Sunday morning. Many choirs have prepared special programs for the occasion, among them: Metropolitan A. M. E., Metropolitan A. M. E.

Local Music Activities Recently, there has been an awakening of musical interest among the masses, of larger proportion than is usual but promising in its gradual development. Such impetus in music matters hereabouts long has been expected and awaited with bated breath. Note these activities: Coleridge-Taylor Choral Society reorganized, after a silence of years, to render "The Atonement"; Men's Chorus of Asbury M. E. Church with program this month; Mt. Carmel Baptist choir in a musicale; the "Harry T. Burleigh" Quartet Recital in a special performance; Nineteenth Street Choir in an "Evening with Colored Composers"; the Wooding Jubilee Singers and ing. What little he knows about the Bible, the writer has been informed, he dug it out himself. His secular training has been dug out in the same way. Many in the church did not believe this, and some of them spent much time and wasted a good deal of paper and postage stamps trying to obtain evidence that would show the contrary, but they failed to get any. The members of the church now are quite sure that he has never graduated from any school, if he did, it must be a very insignificant one. A lack of proper training is a great set-back to this man and the church. It requires a well informed man to fill the pulpit in the Florida Avenue Baptist Church. In a point of fact, a man must be well learned to preach the Gosped anyway. The Rev. Gardiner Spring, D.D., LL.D., says in his book "Preachers and Preaching" Chap. III, p. 28; to be an efficient preacher of the gospel requires a high culture and aptness to teach. Another thing, it seems, what has put many of the members of this church against their pastor is that he has impressed them that the truth does not have much weight with him. They believe that he tries to win people over to him through flattery. Some of them cite a number of instances where he has done this. This one bad habit has lost to him the respects of many of the best members of the church. Truth is an element essential to the prosperity and true glory of the church, all history testifies. It does seem from the above facts that the intelligent men and women of this church are justified in asking the Rev. W. A. Taylor for his resignation for they clearly show that this church needs a bigger man than he is. JNO. C. MOORE, 1809 $ \frac{1}{2} $ 7th St., N. W. H. U. Notes Joint Program of Y. M. C. A. and Y. W.

RICHARD BROOKS (Age 10) MY BATH I love to jump into the tub And bathe from head to foot; And clean myself all spic and span Just like my mother does a pan When it is black with soot. I dig the dirt out of my ears And wash my head each day. And, yes, by heck, I wash my neck— So when mama comes to inspect I'm clean as clean can be. I wash my head and comb my hair And wash my teeth real white; I wash 'tween toes and clean my nose; And always watch out for my hose 'Fore I turn in at night. Oh! yes, I love to take a bath And keep real spic and span For then I know where e'er I go The estimation won't be low 'Bout how I live when I'm a man. —C. 'LESLIE FRAZIER NEGRO_ENCYCLOPEDIA Smalls, Robert: Born a slave at Beaufort, S. C. April 5, 1839. He was prevented from attending school, as Negroes were not permitted to attend school then. He studied, and gained a fairly good education. In 1851 he went to Charleston where he worked as a rigger, and thereafter he led a seafaring life. Ten years later he became employed on the steamer, Planter, which was plying in the Charleston harbor as a transport for the Confederates. He captured the Planter and turned it over to the Federal government. He was appointed a pilot in the Quartermaster's Department of the United States Navy. He remained in the navy till 1866 retiring with rank of captain. He entered politics in 1868 being elected to the 44th, 45th, 47th, 48th and 49th Congresses.

COMMENDATION Perhaps my little readers do not realize what you have accomplished in the last four months. Well, here goes. You will notice that the puzzles for the last two or three weeks have been rather easy. It was so intended. You have been doing in six days what the children of white periodicals are given from fifteen to twenty days to do. The puzzles you have been solving are similar to those published in white "monthlies." You have been requested to solve these puzzles in from five to six days—and you have done so very creditably. We must take in the fact, too, that most of you who send in the answers to the puzzles also answer or attempt to answer the history questions. Now that examination time is nearing I have decided to present easy puzzles from now until the beginning of vacation, then we can get down to real work again. You have done remarkably. For greater than you imagine. Be proud of yourselves, little dark skin children, for as the children of other races advance even so do you. EASTER POEMS I know the song that the children are singing, Out on the grass where they are playing. Playful young children they are: How glad they are for Easter is here. Oh! how sweet the music sounds— Have you ever heard such sweet voices? Listen!—and you will hear what they are saying Out on the grass where they are playing. Dear little flowers, you must be glad when Easter comes. Listen while I sing you a song of cheer, Little roses, come open your eyes, Sweet little lilies, come out and surprise; Put on your mantles of yellow and gold, —LEONA HARRIS (Age 13) Easter Verses Easter comes but once a year, Why not, then, be full of cheer? No one here Should fear— You will receive your eggs, my dear EMMA COLE (Age 13) What is Easter? I'd like to know; This question I'll ask a sophomore As Easter is so very near, Answer now, I am ready to hear. Easter I would like to say Is a very joyous day. On wings of light at earliest dawn Came our Saviour on Easter morn. Spread the glad tidings far and near That one and all of us may hear. An angel rolled the stone away For Jesus Christ rose on this day. THADDEUS ACWITH (Age 12 Happy Easter Oh, happy, happy Easter, I'm certainly glad you're here, I know you've came a little while To bring us a little cheer. You come dancing, dancing, dancing Through all the happy hours, And to every boy and girl And even to the flowers You bring happiness and cheer Throughout the golden year. INEZ WILLISTON (Age ?) T.

The Almighty will save. **Bells of Easter** Ring out, sweet Easter bells, Ring out this glorious time. The Lord arose in majesty sublime; Ring! Shout and speed, The Lord is risen indeed. DRAWINGS The little artists who read this page will note the pictures at the top of the page. These pictures are two of the Easter post cards made by students of Commercial Art in the Business Department of Dunbar High School. Miss Rosa Nixon is instructor of these classes. Through the kindness of Miss J. E. Mustapha, one of the Faculty Advisers on the staff of the "Dunbar Ledger," we are able to present these clever and artistic drawings. Perhaps, you too, will some day find yourselves interested enough in drawing to decide to apply it in a professional way. Hence, it is of interest to devote as much time to it now as possible.

EMMA COLE (Age 13) (Your drawing is fine. I hope to have you send in a larger one very soon.—Ed.) CONCERNING BLACK It is no more a thing to be ashamed of to be born a black Jones or a black Smith than it is to adopt the trade of being a blacksmith. If a black man aspires it means nothing to say he has a white man's aspiration. Aspiration knows no color. It is in the heart of all men—if they be men—regardless of color. A ditch may be black with scum, but I have seen milk just as unwholesome as the scum in the ditch. I am proud of being black. Being black my opportunities are better for being the first to do. When I cease to have faith in God then will I cease to have faith in my race. The dove coos and the crow caws and God is pleased. Were I not myself I'd rather be some other black man.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES: ONE YEAR $2.50; SIX MONTHS $1.25 "WOMAN WHY WEEPEST THOU?" It was to a woman that Christ first appeared, on that Sunday morning after He had risen from the dead. It was to a woman that He spoke His first words of comfort after the agony of the cross. Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven devils, loved greatly, trusted fully and wept sorrowfully. It was to the weeping Magdalene that the angels in the sepulchre spoke, asking: "Woman, Why Weepest Thou?" The tears of womankind, especially colored women, are yet flowing. Not the maudlin tears of sentimentality but the tears of real pain and sorrow over the race's manifold ills and the apparent insincerity of professed Christians. "Woman, Why Weepest Thou?" "Because they have killed my son—a sacrifice to war and greed and lust for power." The World War came and drafted colored men to fight the battles of the United States on foreign soil, "to make the world safe for democracy," which the sons of colored women do not enjoy on their own soil, with the "democracy" of the United States very unsafe. Their sons are deprived of the right of voting; deprived of justice before the courts; deprived of equal opportunity both in ELMER SPRIGGS NOT GUILTY Mr. Elmer S. Spriggs of 2504 Mozart Pl., N. W., who was arrested last week, accused of renting rooms and then borrowing money from the landlord to purchase furniture for some of his friends and then disappearing, was released and exonerated of the charges against him. Mr. Spriggs, it was stated, was taken for someone else. Assistant U. S. Attorney Ralph Givens in a letter to Mr. Spriggs stated that "the facts presented do not justify prosecution." Mr. Spriggs is an employee in the Navy Building and his friends are pleased to know that he was not the man wanted.

"Woman, Why Weepest Thou?" "Because race prejudice has outstripped Christianity and is the dominating factor in religious, commercial, economic and social affairs of my country." The colored Woman can well weep over the strides that race prejudice is making in the United States and wherever Americans travel. At the time of Christ's birth, angels appeared to the shepherds and announced, "Peace on earth, good will toward men." For a time that good will to all men was the leading factor in the advancement of Christianity. But alas, today race prejudice, which is of the devil, is prevailing. The resurrection which this Easter typifies would help to bring us back to Christ, if we could but drive home the lesson of the new birth, the new life, and the new inspiration emanating from Christ, so as to impress the world with the baneful influence of the devil's race prejudice. morrow evening at 3 p.m. Mr. C.
