Washington Tribune

The Washington Tribune TRIBUNE STARTS SECOND YEAR AS WASHINGTON'S GREATEST WEEKLY PAPER All the News That's Fit to Print TRIBUNE START YEAR AS WA GREATEST Policy of Publishers Fully Justified by Endorsement The Tribune this week begins its second volume. The policy announced in its initial issue, May 14, 1921, has been adhered to and improvement made wherever possible. The wisdom of the publishers in selecting this policy has been amply justified and we wish to begin our second year by reiterating our first announcement. On May 14, 1921 we said: "The initial issue of The Washington Tribune adds another step forward in the direction of clean journalism in Washington. "This paper is launched because the publishers feel that Washington can and will well support another first class, clean-cut, local weekly newspaper. "We have no friends to favor, nor enemies to punish, and are without any entangling alliances. We desire to present a journal conducted as a newspaper, being a fearless purveyor, and when needed, equally fearless interpreter of the NEWS; with the best and most popular features, rendering genuine public service and giving to our readers a paper they can and will appreciate and support. Our Policy "It is our policy that The Tribune shall be the people's paper, and as such, to render a public service. SERVICE is the one great word in the business world today. "We shall endeavor to give the news while it is news and all that is fit to print." "In our Editorial policy we shall always take high ground, realizing the People's Cause is Greater and far more important than any one's personal cause. "BUSINESS: We are making rapid strides in the commercial world and we shall cover all activities in this line with constructive articles. "SPORTS: Great and wide is the interest in sports and we shall cover all phases of sports and games. "THEATRES: Washington has the largest number of theatres owned by our people in the country. We will cover these centers of attraction with most accurate information. "SOCIETY: It is conceded that Washington is the center of society of this continent. We shall endeavor to give full and extensive reports of all social events here, without charge. "On the staff of The Tribune are men of wide newspaper experience." Without a single advance subscriber we printed 3,000 papers the first week, and have constantly increased our weekly output until we have passed the 6,600 mark within our first year. That The Tribune has kept its promises, is attested by thousands of people who have read its pages from week to week and referred it to their friends. That the business men appreciate the policy of The Tribune and recognize it as a safe and paying medium for advertising, is demonstrated by the fact that The Tribune has carried a greater number of inches of advertisement from the colored business of this city than any other paper here. The Tribune has become an institution in Washington. It has led the fight in all CIVIC matters and has been outspoken for the rights of the people. It has struck from the shoulder, fierce and strong against this segregation and discrimination; against high-handedness of public officials; against false race pride. Not only has The Tribune led the fight, in theory, for racial patronage, but it has set the example as well. More than fifteen young men have been kept in school by employment on The Tribune and more than twenty-five boys have been inducted into business experience and profitable contact with business, professional and other people, as salesmen of The Washington Tribune. The Tribune has distributed more than $5,000 in salaries to its newsboys and carriers alone. It has employed colored men and women, boys and girls to do every detail of (Continued on page 5) STANDARD INVESTMENT AND DEVELOPMENT CO. SUCCEEDING TS SECOND SHINGTON'S WEEKLY PAPER N. A. A. C. P. DRIVE PROVING SUGGESS The National Association's drive for new members enters into the last week with every worker going at top speed. So far, according to reports received, the drive has been entirely successful. Dr. DuBois and Senator David I. Walsh of Massachusetts, were the principal speakers last Sunday afternoon. The meeting was one of the most enthusiastic and largely attended held yet. Nearly $400 was subscribed at this meeting. Rev. Jason Noble Pierce, pastor of the First Congregational Church of this city will be the principal speaker next Sunday afternoon at John Wesley A. M. E. Z church. Dean Kelley Miller will also speak at this meeting. On Sunday May 17, a big mass meeting will be held at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. Mr. James Weldon Johnson will be the principal speaker. THE HIAWATHA THEATER CLOSES Was the Oldest Owned by Colored Capital in the United States After a period of about fourteen years, Hiawatha Theatre, owned by the Hiawatha Theater Company closed its doors last Sunday evening, because of the laxity of business. The Hiawatha Theater is the first structure built in America for the sole purpose of housing movie entertainments. It was erected possibly about 1909 by the Laborers and Mechanics Building Loan Association of which John W. Lewis is president. The Hiawatha_is the outgrowth of the old Dunbar Theatre, the first Colored movie in the United States, at that time located on a portion of the site where Crandall's Lincoln now stands. Within the confines of the four walls of the Hiawatha there have been many pleasantries exchanged. Here, it was that T. Spencer Finley, deceased, entertained nightly for more than a year with high class monologues, on current topics and other features that are remembered by Hiawatha devotees. There are many patrons who will remember those famous Easter Sunday entertainments at which time the "Passion Play," then a popular film subject, would be shown. It is also about this time, that Prof. George E. Battle, now of the Dunbar, was first acknowledged as America's premier photo play pianist. In an interview, Manager Raymond H. Murray, seemed deeply grateful to the loyal patrons of the Hiawatha. STANDARD INVEST DEVELOPMENT It is announced through an action of its Board of Directors that since the Standard Investment and Development Company has definitely arranged to wipe out the entire stock and mortgage on its valuable Fourtee. Street property, thus relieving itself of all financial hardships, it will withdraw the offer of any bonus on stock purchased after the first of June 1922. Any member of the corporation desiring to increase his holdings in this live and strong organization, or any one contemplating buying stock, must act at once if he wishes to take advantage of the present liberal terms and a bonus. The stock is now selling at $10 (ten dollars) a share, par value, with a bonus of one share with every ten shares purchased. And WASHINGTON, D. C.

DUNBAR CADETS PREPARING FOR CONTEST IN JUNE Much Interest Being Manifested by Whole Student Body Five companies, including one company from the Department of Business Practice, will represent Dunbar High School in the annual competitive drill of the 24th Regiment of High School Cadets to be held at the American League Park on Monday, June 12th. The drill is scheduled to begin at 10:30 o'clock, and will end with battalion and regimental review at 5:30 o'clock. During the past four weeks Major Maurice Johnson, Commander of Dunbar Battalion, has been working in the close order drill on the program for June 12, and each Tuesday and Friday his Battalion will use the Ellipse for intensive training in extended order drill. Lieut. Col. Clement A. Wells, commander of the Regiment, is giving close personal supervision to all regimental matters, in order to bring both officers and enlisted men to the highest degree of military efficiency, and gives assurance that the coming competitive drill will be the hardest fought battle in the history of the Cadet establishment. this stock may be paid for part cash and the balance in monthly instalments, thus making its acquisition easy. The bonus will be positively withdrawn after midnight June First, 1922. Dr. W. L. Board, president of the company, states that from present indications the stock will be selling considerably above par within the next few months, if, indeed, there be any treasury stock left for sale at any price. A meeting of the stockholders of the company with its Board of Directors is called for Wednesday Evening, May 17, in the assembly room of the Y. M. C. A. on 12th Street at eight o'clock p.m. The public is cordially invited to attend to learn some of the "LINC" JOHNSON DID NOT SPEAK OUT AS CLAIMED Atlanta Independent Gives Correct Version of Whole Affair (By an Observer) What "Linc" Johnson said while in Atlanta recently semes to be a debatable question. Many papers came out last week with articles purporting to be the correct version of the happenings at the gathering of the John W. Martin faction of the Georgia Republicans. These papers stated that "Linc" flayed peonage, disfranchisement, lynching, the Ku Klux and the Republican Administration in general. He was pictured as a roaring lion. However, according to Editor Ben. J. Davis of the Atlanta Independent, who was a member of the committee and was present when "Linc" spoke, the Georgia Peach was no lion at all but was a very meek and humble lamb both in his actions and words. In a lengthy editorial of May 6 on "Henry Lincoln Johnson," Mr. Davis describing the occurrence said: "Colonel Johnson was so guarded in the things he did say and did not say that he called on the official stenographer of the convention to take his address, and his argument before the convention was addressed particularly to the white reporters present. He looked at them, faced them instead of the audience, and the stenographer's notes will show that he never mentioned the Harding administration one time during his talk of one hour and a half. He made no reference to it. He did not criticize its policy towards his group or its general policy as a republican administration." "He did not say a word about the lily white policy of the administration in the South. He did not denounce the lily white organization headed by Phillips in Georgia. He did not say it was wrong; he did not say it was right." "He was careful not to mention Phillips' name, the lily white organization, the administration or its policy (Continued on page 8) exceptional work of this company.

BALLOU OF SCHOOLS' NEEDS Special Board Meeting Hears Grievances from Civic Bodies The needs of the various schools of the District were laid before the Board of Education, Wednesday night, at a special meeting given by the Board for the purpose of giving the various civic associations of the District an opportunity to present their claims. The conference was held at the Franklin school and was largely attended. The Superintendent of Schools outlined the policy of the board on development projects. In a brief outline he told the representatives of the program embodied in the budget now before Congress, stating that many of the requests had been denied. He said: "We have accumulated a group of requests left over from last year. The only thing for you to do is to keep on making them, and we will keep on asking for them with the hope that we will eventually have them provided for." James T. Lloyd, member of the board, announced that the teachers' salary and reorganization bill has been favorably reported by both houses of Congress. Mrs. Lucy Swanton urged additional playground accommodations for Phillips, Cooke, Morgan and Jefferson schools. The Howard Park Citizens Association, thru Hunter H. Cardwell, requested the establishment of the business practice department of the Dunbar High School into a business high school, suggesting the Shaw Junior High for the location, giving the latter a new building. C. E. Howard of the Business Mens' Association supported Mr. Cardwell in this request. Dr. Bailou stated that he was heartily in sympathy with that plan. George T. Beason of the Georgetown Civic Association stated that all the schools in Georgetown were overcrowded. He was informed that Phillips is to get an eight-room addition from the bill now in Congress and that requests had been made to relieve the situation in Georgetown. Edmond W. Scott, of the Parents League, asked for a new building for the John F. Cooke school, which was condemned several years ago. Circulation Books Open To All PRICE 5 CENTS BURNINGS AND LYNCHINGS STIR RACE IN TEXAS Trouble Feared. Governor Holding State Troops in Readiness Kirvin, Tex.—(Special) Three colored men were burned to death here Saturday morning, having been accused of the death of Eula Ausley, a 17 year old white girl. The men were "Snap" Terry, Mose Jones and John Cornish. It was claimed that Terry confessed and implicated the other two. According to close observation here the nature of the crime was not in the category of colored men. One citizen said: "They don't kill innocent girls in that manner. It is not their method of killing to stab a number of times." Jones and Cornish held out to the last that they were innocent of the crime and the colored citizens of Freestone County, it is claimed, are arming themselves against future occurrences of the sort. Tom Cornish, a brother of John Cornish, was found hanging from a tree Tuesday morning. Several families have left this community since this uncalled for outrage. Two white men, brothers, were arrested and are held in jail at Fairfield accused of connection with the murder of the Ausley girl. Tracks, fitting the shoes worn by these two men, were traced from the scene of the crime to the home of these white men and one was captured by the sheriff, the other surrendered at the jail Sunday. It is claimed that had the mob not acted in such haste they would have found that all four colored men were innocent and the real murderers were the two white men. The colored men are up in arms to avenge the death of the four innocent men hung and burned. The Governor has ordered two companies of Rangers to Fairfield and trouble is imminent.

Better heating facilities were asked for the original building of the Mott school, by Rev. D. E. Wiseman. A new building for Shaw Junior High was asked for by T. F. Ramsom.

Leonard, to be shown at the Dunbar for one week, beginning Monday May 15th It is the most lavish and elaborate of this famous Metro star's pictures, and presents a whirlwind succession of thrilling and exciting experiences. This play is undoubtedly one of the most noteworthy of the year. In "Fascination" Miss Murray plays the part of Dolores De Lisa, born of a Spanish father and an American mother. Resenting the close supervision of the aunt with whom she lives, Dolores slips out to join the throng going to the bull fight. It is here that she becomes fascinated by the toreador, Carrita. She meets him and falls under the influence of his dark eyes. That night, at a ball, Dolores dances for the guests, giving vent to the emotions which the bull fight had created in her. None of the guests recognize her as the daughter of Eduardo de Lisa, the daughter of a wealthy Spaniard who has on that very day returned from America, bringing with him Dolores' brother and a friend from college. It is the search for the girl that brings in its train a series of swiftlymoving and highly dramatic incidents. Elaborate costumes and gorgeous settings make brilliant the entire production. All the principal scenes are laid in Spain. Miss Murray's picture reproduces admirably the spirit of the land of the toreador. A notable cast has been assembled in support of Miss Murray, the players including Vincent Coleman, Creighton Hale, Helen Ware, Courtenay Foote, Charles Lane, Emily Fitzroy, and Robert W. Frazier. This is a Tiffany production, distributed by Metro.

Taxes The new license rates and laws pertaining thereto for this city are to be enforced. Several businesses and trades which formerly could be carried on without licenses are taxed now. To give a ball or public entertainment, the promoters must pay a tax. A list of taxes directly of interest to Negroes was listed in this column last week. Due to the fact that the promoters of the ball, scheduled to have been at the Odd Fellow's Hall Monday, failed to comply with the law, the police would not permit the hall to be opened. This affair was financed by Washingtonians, but it bore the names of Alexandrians. Please patronize the advertisers of this column. CHARLES S.

The show opened with Wells and Wells, a novelty act in sensational balancing and trapeze feats. Coleman Hawkins a former local boy known as the Saxophone King, made the old horn do everything but talk, He certainly lived up to his rep- utation. Brown“and Brown in society and jazz dancing received well-earned ap- plause in fact, they were the fact act that responded to an encore. Now came everybody's favorite, th deciple of Ananias, Botts Hope who kept the audience convulsed with his rapid fire jokes and comedy songs He came pretty near stopping the show. Geo. Bell, the wonderful violinist in classical and jazz numbers got plen. ty of applause forcing him to play an encore. Harrington and Barrett in song: and dances also Harrington’s panto- mine poker game went well. Next on the bill was Johnny Wood: and Little Henry but owing to a bad throat, Woods was unable to work much to Little Henry’s disgust. The Norfolk Jazz Quartet simpls mopped up with their harmonizing strains and were compelled to give an encore. Now for the Big Noise—Mamie Smith and her Jazz Hounds. The ae opens full stage the orchestra playing the Sheik, following this number en ters Miss Smith singing the Arkan sas Blues, costumed in all over flower beaded blue gown, that caused the au dience to gasp with admiration, need. less to say she received great ap- plause, Again the orchestra renderei a selection with Geo.

Lafayette Players at the Howard No announcement in recent years has caused greater joy among the theatregoers of Washington than that of the Howard Theatre in presenting the Lafayette Players, headed by Ida Anderson and Arthur Simmons, in “Why Girls Leave Home” which will be offered at this popular playhouse all next week with matinees Tuesday, ‘Thursday and Saturday at 2:15 0’- clock and every evening at 8:15 0’. clock. In offering “Why Girls Leave Home” as the opening offering of this splen- did company of artists, which, by the ‘way will be permanently located at this beautiful theatre, the manage- ment has indeed made a ten strike, and crowded houses are certain to rule all the week. “Why Girls Leave Home” is a wonderful drama. It tells a wonderful story and just now, throughout the country, this play is registering wonderful success. “Why Girls Leave Home” is a play that will long be remembered by those who have seen it, and to appreciate the great story, one must see the play. Ida Anderson, who is a great Wash- ington favorite will be seen as Pearl Sherwod and this popular and talent- ed young lady is certain to be given a great reception. In this role Miss ‘Anderson is seen at her best which as- sures patrons off the Howard Theatre an opportunity to see some splendid acting. Arthur Simmons too, has a fine role and he will offer his usual finished portrayal of the character. “Others in the cast include Inez Clough, A. B. De Comathiere, Harry Plater, Henrietta Loveless, Adele Dodson, Joseph T. Chapman, James Gray, Ethel Pope, Harrison Jackson, Jos- eph Stewart, James Jasper and others. A big scenic production will be of- fered. Popular prices will prevail for the attractions to be offered by the Lafa- yette Players. The matinee prices will be 25 and 36 cents and in the eve- ning the prices will be 25, 35 and 55 cents. ‘These prices include the war tax. : The box office is open daily from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. and reservations can be made by calling at the box office or phoning North 762, The subscrip- tion list is also open and those desir- ing the same seats for the same per- formance each week can have same re- served without any additional charge.

Crowded houses will ruie for the remaining performances and it is advisable t make reservations early. Phone N 762. Baseball In Washington The baseball season is now well under way here. Practically all of the teams are now in the field and have had some kind of a chance to show the fans the kind of ball they will play this year. From observation there are about four teams that have shown signs of playing first-class ball; these teams are the Washington Athletics, last year's District champions, the St. Cyprians, the runner-up in’ the race last year, the Deanwood Athletics and the re-juvenated LeDroit Tigers. So far this season these teams have shown more stuff than the rest, while neither team has played any strong opposition, their real strength cannot | be accurately ascertained. From the fans point of view, how: ever, the season so far has been 2 frost. The managers of the various teams seem afraid to book games. Why this timidity, we do not know. Some managers seem to think that by play- ing a lot of weak teams and piling up large scores, they will build up a repu- tation. They are certainly reckoning wrong and the results will be seen at the gate when they do try to play a big game. Lost games in the spring will have no effect on the result in the fall if a team can really play baseball ‘There is certainly more advantage in losing gmes in the Spring than in not playing at all, and the quicker the teams in the District learn this fact the better it will be for them and theit backers. ‘The St. Cyprian team seems to be playing in earnest since their grand opening and are thereby exhibiting 2 spirit and example that all other teams should pattern after. This timidity on the part of managers should end. The fans want to see the teams play and the stronger the opposition the better they like it, whether the home team wins or loses. Let the managers of these various fans see them play. If you have the fans se them play. If you have the strongest team you can prove it much quicker and better by playing games than by constantly arguing. Base ball will never be advanced here unti this childish way of doing things i stopped. * Team: popularity is always buil up by playing and not by idleness.

The game [was poorly played but heavy clouting ‘coupled with few spectacular plays ‘kept the crowd interested. The Receiving Station team now a member of the Departmental League is out to meet all comers, address I. Johnson, Mgr., 3311 Sherman Ave., N. W., or Phone Col, 1783. Howard dropped games to Lincoln, 11 to 7 and to Union 10 to 4 on a re- cent trip. The locals presented a make- shift line-up, three regulars being un- jable to make the trip. Bad weather marred the game at Lincoln while the heavy batting of Johnson and Jack- son won for Union. Union captured the first set of events in the dual tradk meet with Viegiaia Normal at the latter institution on May 5, winning 10 out of 14 events. ‘The final score was 68-47 and the point winners for Union were Cook, the out- ogee eee Anderson, Lightfoot, Carl, Jackson, Phillpotts and Lee. The St. Paul Normal downed the St. Augustine School on the former's diamond Saturday 21 to 8. The pit- ching of Wallace featured the game. The St. Cyprian Juniors won two games last week, downing the Lin- coln Schools20-4 and the Royal Giants 8-0. ‘This column is open to all questions relating to sports. The LeDroit Tigers will journey to Leesburg, Va., Sunday to play the winners of a game between the Lees- burg Giants and Middleburg Stars. Mgr. West will have his crack stort- stop and Capt.

To complete details fox the match only the signature of Demp- sey’s manager is necessary. The amount of the purse will probably sur- pass that of the championship matck of last July. FIGHTS OF THE PAST By Quentin You hear a lot about the present day fighters being game or their ability to stand punishment, but you never hear of one going into the ring with a broken hand and fight. ‘That is what Joe Walcott, known as the Black Demon, did twenty-two years ago at the Broadway Athletic Club, New York, against Bobby Dobbs. Joe began the fight by smashing Dobbs in“ the mouth with a left then another left to the stomach which is said to have raised Bobby two feet in the air. Dobbs sprinted across the ring with Walcott in hot pursuit. It was evident at this early stage of the fight that Dobbs was no match even for a cripple. Bobbys worked overtime in the sec- ond’ and third roynds to keep away from Joe’s awful left, occasionally get- ting in a body blow when Walcott came tearing in. The fourth round found Joe trying his best to put Dobbs out by planting a terrific left in Bobby's stomach doub- ling him up for the count. Joe re- ‘peated the dose twice but Dobbs a- voided damage by slipping to the floor. : He managed to stay the fifth round bs sprinting. "The sixth round brought the end. After hitting Dobbs several times with his .left he brought Bobby’s guaré down. Joe grabbed the opening, crashed the broken right hand tc Dobbs? jaw; knocking him out. This was the only time Walcott used his right hand during the fight. Walcott is now living in Boston, Mass., being forced to retire from the ring an account of being accidently shot in his right hand some years ago.

Beckwith sent in complete correct answers. The "Specials" are those who send in the next highest number of correct answers. Lucille Payne's percentage was the next highest. She made 95 per cent. The next highest percentages were held by the other four girls listed as "Specials." Each of them made 75 per cent. Note: This is the first time we have had to confront this situation.

MOTHER'S DAY Tomorrow will be observed as "Mother's Day" in many countries. The movement originated in America but has become so popular it is rapidly spreading and being adopted far, far away. Mother is the gentlest and greatest form of womanhood. Each child today loves his or her mother who was a child not so long ago. That means that many little girls of today will be mothers in years to come. Mothers are fond of their children. Each mean trick played by a thoughtless child wounds the heart of a mother. Every good, noble, and fine act of a child gladdens the heart of the mother. Motherhood means womanhood and womanhood is only at its highest when it is proud of itself, of its pepole, and of its God. To have pride, one must have knowledge. No knowledge is complete without knowing whether one's own people is worthy of commendation or condemnation. Let every little girl today, NOW, study and learn all she can about the history of her people. Ask mother, ask dad, ask your teacher, your minister, your friends about incidents relating to your race. Ask once, twice, and again. If they do not know perhaps they can tell you where you can find out what you want to know. Then in later years when evening comes and your little boys and girls lay aside their toys to hear your good-night story you can tell them of the great things done by this beloved people o'yours. To tell them such things will make them proud of themselves, of their people, and of God for being so good to our people—and they will be—oh! so proud of you. Then when the shadows of years leave you bent and grey they will not await the coming of one day in the year, but will say: MY SWEETEST HOUR There is an hour in each day Each day it comes—the hour I love best, But, alas, mother, they seem so few It may be early in the morn When beauty chases 'way the darkest hour, When Nature's breath is sweetest and loved by all As the fragrance of a lily flower. It may at noontime be When the sun is high above, But it ever comes And I am glad When all the realm of nature seeke rest— For you, the one I love the best. Sometimes at midnight too, I dream sweet dreams of you. And ever and always I reverently pray MY MOTHER O, mother, little mother, who is so old, and gray, even though you're of'en tired, you never object to have me play. There are many things, mother, that I have done and always will; Why are you so afraid I will not do them with skill? I am going to be good to thee, little mother, even better than my older sister and brother. O, little, mother, who would walk through the dust and heat for me, If necessary in her loving bare feet. You, little mother, who kneel every night in prayer to pray that God will lead me in the right way. And when you leave the world, dear mother, I know you want the soul within me, Fit for the Lord, God to read and see. (5-B Grade, Summer School. Miss J. S. Syphax, teacher.) BOOK REVIEW The Negro in American History: A book of great value to children interested in the history of our people is published under the name given above. It is the work of John W. Cromwell, Sr., of Washington. Mr. Cromwell has spent much time in research work, being directly interested in the history of our own people. He has had access to many documents and rare books treating on this subject. The first seventeen chapters treat of the slavery period and of the days during and following the Civil War. The following eighteen chapters tell of the lives of our noted Negro women and men. Perhaps it will interest our little readers to know that this book contains, brief and concise records of the lives of the following persons; Phyllis Wheatley, Benjamin Banneker, Paul Cuffee, Sojourner Truth, Bishop Payne, Henry Highland Garnet, Alexander Crummell, Frederick Douglass, John Mercer Langston, B. K. Bruce, J. Charles Price, Robert B. Elliot, Dunbar, Washington, Coppin, Henry O. Tanner, Cook, and Blyden. This is followed by thirteen pages of appendices which are of great value independently of the rest of the book. This book is cloth bound and is published. by the author, Washington, D.C., 1914. It sells for $1.50. TRIBUNE'S BIRTHDAY A little over a year ago a body of men decided to give to the readers of Washington a weekly paper, different and better than the other papers. They had to decide to make it different and better because if they did not make it different and better there would be no greater demand for it than for other papers. The progressive policy adopted by the management and editors has met the approval of the older folks, causing this paper to be read by more people than any other local weekly, and all of the out-of-town weeklies combined. Today marks the beginning of the second year of the paper of the people's choice, and, although the "Children's Page" is not a year old (we hope to have our birthday party in October) the younger people, from tots to teens, seem to say "What is good for pa and ma, is very good for us." Don't confine yourselves to the "Children's Page." Read the "real" interesting things on the front page which deal more with progress, advancement, achievements, and justice, than it does with crime. Read the editorials which are confined to local and national events and not to meddling with sextional matters. No Editor can sit in his office in the North and stop a riot in the South nor can an Editor in the South gain anything by bewailing the actions of the Editor of the North. "One Day Last Week" and "The Cynic's Notebook," the two extremes, give you a bit of wholesome laughter and a bit of serious thought. The lovers of music gets his bit thru the "Music Forum." We hope our little readers will continue to support the Tribune—first because it is interested in your present and future; second, we appreciate your interest. NEGRO JINGLES I know a queen who married a king, He was a songster but could not sing, She got mad and drove him away, And he's never been seen until this day. Jump up, Towser, jump up, sir; Tell what you're waiting for? That's it, Tow, you're a good old mate. Let's hurry to school or we'll both be late NEGRO CITIES Boley is located on the Fort Smith and Western Rairlroad about thirty miles East of Oklahoma City, in Okfuskee County. It is the largest town in this country inhabited exclusively by colored people. Boley was opened for settlement about 1905. It is incorporated and went two years without making a single arrest of any of its citizens. All of the officers of the city are colored. The mayor, councilmen, police, postmaster, station agent, telegraph operators, express agent, and all others. There is a telephone system with colored girls as operators and colored men as linemen, etc. An electric plant supplies the light and power, and a public water works supplies the water for the city; all owned, and operated by colored people. The Masons of the state have their headquarters in Boley. Practically all of the denominations among colored people have local churches in this town, as well as the lodges. A good public school is maintained and also a denominational school. Boley is located in a township in which there is not a single white family. A township in the West, comprises a section six miles square, (or thirty-six square miles). There are 640 acres in a square mile; therefore, the colored people of Boley and its township, control about 25,000 acres of land. The land is rich and productive. Cotton is the principle crop and there are two cotton gins in Boley. However, fruit, vegetables and other crops are raised by the thrifty farmers. The colonization of Boley proves that the Negro can govern his own affairs. There are about 5,000 colored people in Boley and the township in which it is located. They govern and direct their own affairs. LETTERS FROM OUR LITTLE FRIENDS Dear Editor: In looking over the "Children's Page" today I find I like it very much and I would like to join.

The Volunteer club discussed the life of Prince Hall. The Honor Girls club took up some points in Negro history during the years 1850-1860. The Sunshine club assisted the Willing Workers club in making paper flowers for the fair, which is to begin in May by this association. The following is a copy of the Code up to which every girl is to try to live. Friendship girls with hearts so true Respectful to elders on the street, Innocent of evils that others do, Envious of none whom we may meet. Neat and modest in all our dress, Dependable service through life we give, Sincere in each act of kindliness, Healthy as long as we live. Intelligent facts endeavor to grasp. Pure in heart, God we pray; Gracious in manner even to the last, Impartial to youth as well as age. Ready for service today or tomorrow, Loyal to our race and fight if we must; Steadfast to comrades in joy or in sorrow, WE are the Friendship Girls you can trust. All girls are invited to join the association. A RAINY DAY (I wrote this poem while it was raining and as I sat at the window.) I like to sit and watch the rain As I peer through the window pane. And watching those on whom it pours I'm very glad that I'm indoors. Then we play games and have great fun run, A prize is giv'n the lucky one; The Tribune puzzles then we solve And they some hard work do involve. Each gets a history from its place And answers the questions about our race; Of course our lessons we never shirk, But each one does all his homework.

QUESTION BOX Q: Is it true that a Colored woman received a medal of honor from the French government for services rendered in the Medical division in the World War? If so—who was she? —E. F. A: The French government awarded the Reconnaissance Francaise, a bronze medal, to Dr. Harriet A. Rice, for services rendered in French military hospitals during the World War. Dr. Rice is a graduate of Wellesley College and of the Woman's Medical 7 College in New York. She received this medal in November, 1920, through the French embassy at Washington. JOHN BROWN OF OSSOWATOMIE; BORN 122 YEARS AGO, MAY 9, 1800 In that last great speech when the puny little Pilate of a judge asked him if he had anything to say before sentence was pronounced, though weak and wounded and surrounded by a nervous, hostile mob, the old imprisoned lion stood up and said: "I admit the design on my part in coming here was to free the slaves. . . . I see a book kissed here which I suppose to be the Bible, or at least the New Testament. That teaches me that all things whatsoever I would that men should do to me, I should do even so to them. I endeavored to act up to those instructions. I am yet too young to understand that God is any respecter of persons. I believed that to have interfered as I have done—as I have always freely admitted I have done—in behalf of His despised poor was not wrong but right. Now, if it is deemed necessary that I should forfeit my life for the furtherance of the ends of justice, and mingle my blood further with the blood of my children and with the blood of millions in this slave country whose rights are disregarded by wicked, cruel and unjust enactments—I submit. So let it be! My love to all those who love their neighbors. I have asked to be spared from having any weak or hypocritical prayers made over me when I am publicly murdered; and that my only religious attendants be poor, little, dirty, ragged, bare-footed and bareheaded slaves, boys and girls, led by some gray-headed slave mother.

Subscription Rates: One Year $2.50; Six Months $1.25 OUR OVER-BURDENED MINISTERS The Colored minister in the United States as a rule, carries more burdens than any other class of men in the world. Right after freedom, the minister was the only logical leader among the race. He was in many instances forced to assume the lead in nearly every activity of the race and, as a result, we find our preachers today trying to do too much that is out of their line of endeavor. They are active in commercial matters, political affairs and other things that should be relinquished to better trained hands. feel that they are the logical lead of all the Negroes and proceed to at the head of every organization start one of their own in order to sert their leadership. As a rea the races is overburdened with organizations which overlap each other their endeavor, because some preiers are trying to demonstrate their leadership and must have organizations outside of their churches which to be active heads. Frequently there is no definite gram to follow. "Come and join This is the day of the specialist. The minister's training and education is for a specific work and it does not cover the whole catalogue of race endeavor. If we are ill we go to a physician; if our teeth need attention, we do not go to a blacksmith, but to a dentist; for insurance, we do not go to the grocery; therefore for our commercial endeavors, we must have men who have given commerce some thot and made preparation for that line. Let the men that are giving attention to politics do their best. For racial activities that require business training to successfully operate them, let experienced men take over the executive offices, thereby keeping them clear of the church and church affairs. We have mixed up church and state affairs too often which has resulted greatly in our backwardness in the commercial and industrial world. Let us keep church and state separated. There is enough business that needs the attention of the ministers of our churches within their charges to keep a real pastor busy all the time. But many ministers with large churches REALTY COMPANY MAKING GOOD The Columbia Realty and Investment Company is making a record for consistent business and keeping faith with its stockholders. With the paying of the two per cent quarterly dividend on April 15, which was the sixth consecutive quarterly dividend to be paid by this company, the Columbia Realty and Investment Company is proving its value as an investment company and also proves that wise and conservative management will bring results. It is making history, as a paying concern and building confidence in racial enterprises. They "pay off." "This business was established September 15, 1919," said Jesse H. Mitchell, president of the company, "with the definite purpose and determination to serve its clients efficiently and fairly and to conduct its business on sound and conservative principles. Since organization, we have increased our business and our capacity for rendering the highest class of service. The Company is paying dividends at the rate of eight per cent per annum in quarterly instalments." The Columbia Realty and Investment Company is incorporated for $50,000 with about $28,000 paid in. It has a surplus of more than $6,000, notwithstanding it has paid six consecutive quarterly dividends. This is truly a record among the real estate enterprises and is outstanding here in Washington.

Frequently there is no definite program to follow. "Come and join for it takes money to run any organization," is all that we hear in many instances. The leaders of these organizations should realize that it takes training and aptitude as well as money to put a business or commercial program over. There are, however, activities not strictly ministerial, perhaps, that would seem to fit in very well with the work of the modern church. In these endeavors, the ministers could properly be active, even leaders. These activities may be comprehended under the general designation of community services. They include such activities as playgrounds; day nurseries for working mothers; libraries; care for the poor, the aged, the orphans, the blind and the afflicted; giving assistance to ill fed children, mental defectives and all who need a kindly touch and cheering word. Let the business men relieve the minister of the "business leadership," thereby enabling the ministers to give the race a more effective Christian leadership. ed to her. Assistant Superintendent of schools, Professor Garnet C. Wilkerson, Supervisor John Bruce, Dr. W. S. Montgomery, John C. Nalle, and Dr. Hayden Johnson of the Board of Education, paid splendid tribute to the fine record of the retiring principal. A magnificent collation was served all. "LING" JOHNSON DID NOT SPEAK OUT (Continued from page 1) (Continued from page 1) to the race or its treatment of him and the fact that he did not mention any of these evils or take the administration to task for its niggardly and proscriptive policy towards his race, was the most significant thing about his address." "His address was more important and significant for the things he did not say, than for the things he did say." "The good Colonel made bold to state that it mattered not what the Republican party did, everything else was the sea except the Republican party, and in spite of the death and hell he would remain loyal to the party; in spite of its lily whitism, Ku Kluxism or anything else, he would remain a Republican." The above mentioned reports, therefore, sent out from Atlanta purporting to state what Mr. Johnson did and said, were just so much bushwhacking, and are typical of many reports now being circulated by a cer- HOWARD THEATER Special Announcement BY POPULAR DEMAND Sunday, May 14th, 3 and 8 p. m.
