Dr. Slosson has been associated with educational work for a great many years, having served for twelve years as Professor of Chemistry in the University of Wyoming and having been connected with the Columbia University School of Journalism since its establishment.

According to the story of travelers, who brought the news here, a white farmer sold his farm for $1800. This fact was known by several neighbors. As there were no banks near by in which to deposit the money, the farmer kept it in his home. Knowing of these facts, several of the neighbors invited the farmer to go on a fox hunt. While he was absent on the hunt, the wives of the two men who planned the hunt dressed themselves as men and blackened their faces so they would look like colored. They went to the farmer's house and found his wife in. They demanded the money and a fight ensued, in which the throat of the farmer's wife was cut. The noise attracted the attention of a boarder, who seeing the two supposed colored men, secured a gun and shot both of them, killing them almost instantly. Discovering that he had killed two white women, the boarder fled and the hunters found the bodies of the three women dead when they returned. Little or no publicity was given the affair in the community. However, had the two women who had their faces blackened made their escape, it is a certainty that at least two or three innocent colored men would have been lynched for the crime. Clay county, Tennessee, is located on the Kentucky and Tennessee line and is not traversed by any railroad. MRS. ELLA MARTIN DIES Mrs. Ella Martin, the wife of Joseph Sinclair Martin, 310 New York Ave., N. W., passed away Sunday morning, after a ten day illness of heart trouble. The Martin family is a large, influential and respected one and Mrs. Ella Martin was a notable member of this family, because of her humanitarian spirit and her endeavor to render service wherever possible. She was a devout Christian mother. The funeral which drew a large crowd was conducted Wednesday afternoon at Asbury M. E. Church, of which she was a member. Rev. J. S. Carroll officiated in the absence of the pastor, Dr. King. Rev. Carroll was assisted by Dr. C. M. Tanner and Rev. C. E. Stewart of the A. M. E. Church; Rev. W. J. Howard of Zion Baptist Church; Rev. Chas. H. Wesley of the Ebenezer M. E. Church and Rev. C. H. Marshall of Alexandria, Va. Mrs. Martin leaves a husband, four children and three grandchildren. The sons are Dr. J. Hamilton Martin, Mr. Joseph H. Martin, the real estate dealer and Chester R. Martin of the Congressional Library. The daughter is Miss Corrine E. Martin, Director of Penmanship for the colored schools of the District. She also left brother, S. W. Robertson, of Richmond, Va., and a large number of other relatives. Mrs. Martin was born in Trenton, Va., April 29, 1852, having rounded out her three score and ten years just a month before her death. --- WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, JUNE 3, 1922 Dr. R. R. Moton, delivering the Principal Address at the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial. President and Mrs. Harding and Chief Justice Taft are in the background. DR. R. R. MOTON TELLS NATION THE NEGRO HAS JUSTIFIED HIS EMANCIPATION BY LINCOLN COMPETITION FOR GIRL RESERVES OF MILITARY HONORS Y.W.C.A.CLOSE TO BE VERY KEEN 2ND CONVENTION More than 50,000 Americans, along with representatives of other world powers, bowed in reverential homage at the majestic shrine, placed to the memory of Abraham Lincoln, which was fittingly dedicated Tuesday afternoon, while other thousands listened in at the radios scattered over the states east of the Mississippi River. The program was a simple one with only one address and that by Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute. The program also included a prayer, the presentation of the American flag, by the G. A. R., a poem by Edwin Markham, the presentation of the Memorial by Chief Justice Taft and the acceptance in behalf of the United States by President Harding. Dr. Moton made a very good address, but it consisted only of platitudes and did not touch the real issues of the day that confronts the race. Hence he failed to measure up to the opportunity that was his, to truly represent the race. After speaking of the two ships that came over about 1620, the one bringing Pilgrims to a land of freedom COMPETITION FOR MILITARY HONORS TO BE VERY KEEN Company and School Spirit Inspires Cadets to do Their Best The 30th Annual Competitive Drill of the 24th Regiment of High School Cadets will be held at the American League Ball Park on Monday, June 12, beginning at 10:30 o'clock and ending with battalion and regimental review at 5:30 o'clock. The first public appearance of the High School Cadets was in an exhibition drill at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church in 1892. In May, 1893, the first competitive drill was held, and as there was but one company at this time, it was divided into two platoons, the first and second lieutenants com- (Continued on page 2) and the other, which landed at Jamestown, bringing human beings into slavery, Dr. Moton said: "No one is more sensible than the Negro himself of his incongruous position in the great American republic, but be it recorded to his everlasting credit no failure to reap the full reward of his sacrifices has ever in the least degree qualified his loyalty or cooled his patriotic fervor." After telling of the progress of the race, Dr. Moton said: "The Negro has gone far to justify his emancipation and the nation where such achievement is possible is fully worthy of heroic sacrifice." The speaker declared that "a race that produced a Frederick Douglass during slavery and a Booker T. Washington, during the period of the reconstruction following slavery, was worthy of recognition and encouragement." Speaking of Lincoln, Dr. Moton said: "There is no question that Lincoln died to save the union, and it is equally true that to the last extremity he defended the rights of States, but when the last veteran has stacked his arms and only the memory (Continued on page 8) GIRL RESERVES OF Y.W.C.A.CLOSE 2ND CONVENTION Visiting Delegates Royally Entertained by Local Reserves The High School Girls of the East Central Field including Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, and the District of Columbia held their second annual Conference at the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A. May 26-28. Miss Crystal Bird, National Director of Girl Reserves sent from New York to supervise the Conference arrived last Friday and spent the week in planning with the city Girl Reserve Director for the Conference. She was assisted by Miss Agnes Rix Kidder also a National Girl Reserve Director. After dinner and a recreation hour Friday evening the Conference was turned over to the girls who conducted (Continued on page 2) DEDICATION OF LINCOLN MEMORIAL SCENE OF UNPLEASANTNESS WHEN SOME LEAVE JIM CROW SECTION Office: 920 U St., N. W. DEDICATION OF LIN SCENE OF UNPLEA SOME LEAVE J CHURCH ASKS FOR RETURN OF FORMER PASTOR Desires To See Him Reap the Benefits of Twelve Years Work The members of the Contee A. M. E. Zion church, located in Burville, D. C., have refused to accept the change made by Bishop Caldwell at Philadelphia last week. The Bishop removed Rev. Logan Johnson and sent Rev. Brown to take his place. A committee of members have sent a protest to Bishop Caldwell against the change in which they state that their reasons for asking for the continuance of Rev. Johnson is based on the following facts: "Rev. Logan Johnson came to Burville, more than twelve years ago supposed to pastor the Contee A. M. E. Zion Church. The fact is, he came here to establish a church; for the dilapidated structure and the few members that welcomed him, could hardly be called a church. But such a discouraging situation did not damper the enthusiasm and interest of Rev. Johnson. With just such a beginning as has been described, he began the task of erecting the beautiful building in which the church now worships. It was not an easy task, as many of the elder members can testify. It was indeed an up and down task. The church now has a membership of over two hundred, and occupies a fine building well furnished. "The struggle, deprivation and sacrifice that Rev. Johnson had to endure to achieve these things, can hardly be appreciated. His excellent executive ability, his influence in the business world and his fairness and honesty, did more to encourage the members in this struggle than anything else. Now that the church is beginning to enjoy prosperity, the members who have struggled with Rev. Johnson do not desire to see him moved and another come in and enjoy the fruits of his labor. "The members of the church have the greatest respect and confidence in Rev. Brown, and have no reason to believe that he would not make a successful pastor; but the members of Contee A. M. E. Zion church desire to have Rev. Johnson with them so he may rightfully enjoy what he has earned at Burrville." At the last conference, Rev. Johnson was given a charge at Rockville, Md. RED JACKSON'S CASE BEFORE COURT MONDAY "Red" Jackson's case for extradition to Virginia will come up Monday, in Criminal Court, No. 2. Attorney Royal A. Hughes has the case. Jackson was accused of attacking a white woman by the name of Hawkins at her home in Arlington County, Va., in the month of March. She lived alone and it is claimed that her assailant attacked her and left her tied to a post in the barn. The hearing before Justice Hitz on May 12, resulted in the case being deferred until Monday June 5. Circulation Books Open To All PRICE 5 CENTS Crowed NCOLN MEMORIAL SANTNESS WHEN IM CROW SECTION Col. Sherrill of North Carolina Had Charge of the Seating MARINES INSULT WOMEN Many Refused Jim Crow Seats and Left Before Exercises Began The full realization of President Harding's policy as given to the delegation of the N. A. A. C. P. last July, when they were told by the President that he had reached the conclusion that colored men should fall in behind the leadership of the white men of the South, came Tuesday at the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial, when the distinguished colored citizens of the District and of the nation were segregated, by order of Col. C. O. Sherrill, Superintendent of Public Buildings and Grounds. Several days previous to the date of the exercises, distinguished colored citizens of the District received beautifully engraved invitations (with tickets enclosed) to attend the Dedicatory Exercises of the Lincoln Memorial on May 30th. "Considering it a signal honor," as Mr. Whitfield McKinley expressed it, those receiving the invitations and tickets prepared to attend these memorial exercises on Memorial Day. The tickets read: "Platform seats," and most of the recipients that that they were to be seated on the platform where the diplomats and other distinguished persons were expected to sit; for, Major Robert R. Moton, a member of the race, was to deliver an address. With this in mind they entered the grounds and made their way toward the platform. Think of their consternation and chagrin, when they were informed, in some instances rudely, that section "V", which it turned out, was the section for which their tickets called, was a strictly "Jim Crow" section. When Mr. and Mrs. Whitfield McKinley arrived, they wended their way up to the platform but were there informed that their tickets were for section "V," and that "V" was out near the "mirror pool," across the driveway, which surrounds the memorial. Down the steps went Mr. and Mrs. McKinley looking for section "V." When they finally arrived there, they noted there were all colored people in this section. Mrs. McKinley took the first seat at the end of a row of seats. A marine, who had charge of seating the people, asked her to move over to the center so that others could be seated without crowding by those at the end. She and Mr. McKinley arose and hesitated a moment. The marine swore at them and told them to hurry on over there. Mr. McKinley objected to the marine's swearing in the presence of his wife, and an argument ensued. It ended by Mr. and Mrs. McKinley leaving the grounds before the exercises began. Mr. McKinley was Collector of U. S. Customs at Georgetown, under President Taft; and he said to a Tribune representative that he felt that with his position and standing in the District, he was due better treatment than was accorded to him and his wife at these exercises. Mrs. McKinley was (Continued on page 8) a talk on "Our Gift of Life." At the adjournment of the meeting the girls retired with their hostesses. Some were entertained at the Y. W. C. A. and others at the home of Girl Reserve and friends in the city. After Devotions on Saturday morning the Commissions were read and discussed. The discussion of the Program Commission was led by Evelyn Golden of Washington; the Social Service Commission by Devera Boston of Baltimore; the Social Commission by Fyrena Jackson of Germantown, Pa. and the Membership Commission by Dorothy Quiller of Coatesville, Pa.

The remarkable capability shown by the Chairman in meeting every situation and the thoughtful arguments used by the girls showed the wonderful development the Y. W. C. A. is giving the grils through the Girl Reserve Movement. Miss Agnes Rix Kidder next gave the girls a talk on "Diversities of Gifts." The afternoon session opened with a business meeting where it was decided that the Conference would accept the invitation of the South West Branch of Philadelphia to meet there next year. Miss Vernice Diggs representing the Washington Girl Reserves made a plea for the revival of the Brownies' Book. It was decided that the Girl Reserves send word to Dr. Dubois pledging themselves to support the magazine if it is revived. A report was received on the Scholarship Fund. The Washington girls were proud to be able to show the progress of the race in business by using the Red Cab Service on their Sight Seeing Tour. At 6:30 Saturday evening the banquet in the "Y" Gymnasium. The tables were arranged in the form of a hugh triangle decorated with flowers. The girls had a jolly time during the courses of a splendid banquet served by Mrs. McRae, director of the Y. W. C. A. Cafeteria. They sang songs and cheered each other and their grown up guests. Miss Lillian Washington a Washington Girl Reserve gave a short talk on gifts from girls of all times and proposed toasts to the girls of yesterday, girls of today and girls of tomorrow. Toasts were given to to these girls respectively by Grace White of Philadelphia, Pa., Claudine Falkner, Germantown, Pa., and Rousillon Berry of Baltimore, Md. Miss Bowles then closed the banquet with an address to the girls on "Using Our Gifts." She reminded them of the fact that all gifts no matter how good may be used for good or evil influence and impressed upon them their responsibility to select always the best use. On Sunday morning the Girl Reserves were received at the 15th Street Presbyterian Church where Rev. F. J. Grimke preached a special sermon for them and presented them with a souvenir card with the beautiful and helpful quotation from Chas. Kingsley: "Make it a rule, and pray God to help you to keep it, never, if possible, to lie down at night without being able to say, I have made one human being, at least, a little wiser, a little happier or a little better this day." The Vesper Services Sunday afternoon at 2:30 in the gymnasium was an impressive ending to this most thoroughly successful Conference. Special music was contributed by Mary Morton, pianist and Clementine Hart, violinist. Standing behind a single tall lighted candle, Miss Bird gave to the Girl Reserves a charge to rededicate themselves to the cause of the Girl Reserves by renewing their light and as a symbol of its renewal of faith each girl went forward and lighted her candle. With the singing of the Hymn of the "Lights" the Conference ended. The High School Girl Reserves will have their second annual Lawn Fete on the lawn and gymnasium of the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C.

OUR ALEXANDRIA REPRESENTATIVES This sketch is an appreciation we are tendering to two of our representatives, Mr. Lenwood Nelson and Mr. Russell Hackley. These two energetic co-workers are residents of Alexandria, Va. They are producing wonderful results, having increased the circulation of the Tribune over sixty per cent above that which was turned over to them by our former representative. Mr. Nelson decided to take charge of the Alexandria field, and upon securing the co-operation of Mr. Hackley, the two went forward with a vim which has proven typical of them. [Name] LENWOOD NELSON Messrs. Nelson and Hackley assert that it's just am atter of a few months before the Tribune will be the home paper of Alexandrians. Mr. Hackley is an Alexandria product, receiving his training in Alexandria and Washington schools. He is the Esteemed Lecturing Knight of Alexandria Lodge, No. 48, I. B. P. O. of W. Mr. Hackley is handling the reportorial work in Alexandria for the Tribune. Mr. Nelson is a native of Fredericksburg, Va., but has made his home in Alexandria for several years. He is also an "Elk." His work on the Tribune is advertisement solicitor. [Picture of a man in a suit and tie]. RUSSELL HACKLEY Both of these young men devote personal attention to the circulation of the Tribune and are enthusiastic over the results so far attained. Several months ago Mr. C. L. Frasier introduced the Tribune to Alexandria readers and the work he started is being kept up to the standard by these men. The Tribune has a larger circulation in Alexandria than all the other Negro papers combined. It is delivered by carriers and can be bought at the following places: Whiting's Barber Shop, 334 N. Fairfax St.; Trarymore Lunchroom, 210 N. Payne St.; Florida Palms, Fayette and Queen Sts.; Florence Cafe, Columbus and Wolfe Sts. Alexandria news for publication should reach Mr. Hackley at 1014 Wythe St., by Wednesday evening, or may be sent to Mr. Nelson, 224 S. West St. For the convenience of patrons in the southern section of the town, they may leave their matter at 803 S. Fairfax St., with Mr. Frazier.

Campbell assited by the chorus in staging some red hot dancing which won them plenty of applause. Follow- ing this, Chester Jones and Mr. Sims rendered a duet entitled “Some of These Times” which goes over nicely. Whitney and Tutt make their ap- pearance and succeed in fleecing Silas Perkins (Amon Davis) out of a large sum of money, upon the diseovery of which gives Davis his chanee, closing the scene with his song “Revenge.” Second scene is short, taken up prin- cipally with very good comedy Third scene is a plantation scene introducing some very good singing and dancing especially Miss Lee, singing “Dear Old Southland.” The female quartet was forced to give encores. Fourth scene is occupied by prinei- pals assited by Alonzo Fenderson in comedy and a topical song. Miss Moody is the feature of the fifth scene singing “Ja Da Blues.” This scene is closed by entire company singing “Jump Steady”. ‘The second act opens with Elizabeth Campbell (in male costume) and Nel- lie Brown doing an Apache dance for which they were well applauded. Frances Mores and Bessie Sims were appreciated for their singing of “Up and Down.” Next scene finds Whitney sitting be. fore a Chinese Cafe singing “Excuse Me.” He was well received. The next number, while good, was not properly staged. ‘The next scene was a burlesque beauty parlor; plenty of comedy fea- turing Julia Moody, M. Sims and Nel- lie Brown in song and dance called “Breaking the Leg.” Amon Davis takes up the next scene singing his song “Back Biting Me.” ‘Next scene features the song “The Right Way is the Only Way” by Whit. ney, Tutt, Fenderson and Mores. The last scene introduces Tutt anc his ‘strutters, followed by the sweet singer, Miss Lee singing “Pacific Coast Blues” being compelled to re- spond to a number of encores. ‘The show closes with “Every Body Jumy Steady.” Show heeds a few technical changes and costumes. Above all it needs mal singers, Mores possessing the best voice among them. “FOREVER” A delicate touch of symbolism ap- pears in the picture “Forever,” Para- mount’s screen version of George Du Maurier’s famous novel “Peter Ibbet- son,” in which Elsie Ferguson and Wallace Reid are co-stars. The symbolism of “Forever” which comes to the Dunbar Theater next week, enters the picture in a manner frequently used in literature, but sel. dom in a motion picture production ‘The scenic atmosphere of the picture was made to correspond with the lives of the characters and their moods. Garden in Full Bloom ‘The Pasquier garden is a vital par of the production, as it was of th Du Maurier story. In the scene where the children Gogo and Mims are first introduced, the Pasquier gar den appears blooming with tender ear ly plants and fruit blossoms. It i the beginning, before grief and un pleasantness have entered their youns lives. The old house is half hidden by clusters of wistaria, geraniums ar seen in the window boxes and bed: about the dodr. Purple and whit irises and lilac bushes heavy with blossoms are everywhere.

The apple blossoms are gone and the old tree covered with green leaves. , It is summer. Another change. Gogo has become Peter Ibbetson and has begun to taste the bitterness of life. Mimsi is no longer the wide-eyed child, but a grown woman, in society as Mary, Duchess of Towers. The plant life of the Pasquier garden mirrors the tran- sition. Frost has touched the apple tree and the roses. Tragedy Enters Two Lives Another and the last change in the lives of Gogo and Mimsi and. in the garden. Tragedy has come into the story. Peter has slain his blackguard uncle. The life of Mimsi with her duke is a thing of horror. ‘The gar- den is bare now. The trees and bushes are naked, the grass dead. Snow flurries come and the trees rock in a cold wind, It was necessary to replace all of the growing things for each change of season.

SUBURBAN GARDENS Holiday pleasure seekers journeyed to Suburban Gardens on last Tuesday, Decoration Day, when America's finest Colored Amusement Park opened its gates for its second season. The opening crowd excelled expectations of the management. Many new features greeted the thousands who enjoyed the holiday at the Gardens. While the day was not without incidents, there was nothing serious of any nature to mar the happiness of the crowd. Many of the big features were not ready, but a sufficient number were, so that there was something to do every minute. Many enjoyed themselves inspecting the giant frame of the scenic railway as well as the partly finished whip, aeroway and other big features that will soon be in operation. It was estimated by some, that nearly 15,000 people visited the park during the day. The street car lines were swamped all day. The park will be open every day as well as Sunday. Big features are planned for every night. The park when completed will be the only one of its kind in America, owned and controlled by Colored people. The success on the opening day is due to the great publicity work as carried on by D. Eugene Taylor, publicity manager for Suburban Gardens. The following letter speaks for itself. Mr. D.

Long 6 ART IN WASHINGTON By Jean Toomer The Third Annual Exhibition of the Tanner Art League at the Dunbar High School is distinguished by its offering of specific talent. By this I mean, that we are given an authentic achievement as contrasted to a general promise. Art, in the sense of conscious sculpture, etchings, and paintings, is comparatively recent among American Negroes. To those individual artists who have been travailing in solitude, it no doubt seems sufficiently mellow. For the most of us, however, its birth extends back but a few short years. Hence, our surprise, our enthusiasm, for the actual attainment which we have before us. It has been a tendency of our century to emphasize the representative aspect of art. That is, to judge a work as good in proportion as it attains to a likeness of an arbitrary and ex-looks like a tree. A bust is good if it loks like a tree. A bust is good if it looks like the man who sat for it. A book is good if it portrays characters and events such as would meet you at every street corner, in any home. A thing must, of course, be artfully done. But above all it must be a likeness. Such is the cult of the representative. Perhaps you have sensed from my statement that I am fundamentally hostile to any such theory or practice of art. Things have no ascertainable meaning save what we put into them. That is a commonplace of psychology. Things in art have no meaning save what the artist puts into them. Or, to state it differently, the artist (that is, myself, and those whose art I admire) uses the external world as his symbol, as convenient, nay, as the only possible method of expressing himself. But he, I insist, and his expression, are the important factors, and not the external world. Hence, when I look at May Howard Jackson's Kelly Miller, I am not so much concerned over whether or not it is a likeness (if what I want is Prof. Miller, and nothing more, I can conveniently purchase a photograph of him) but what idea, what emotion is expressed, and how well it is expressed, by the concrete image that is his bust.

It is necessary that you have it in order that you understand and be able to fill out the outline of the brief opinions I have to give on the specific works now on exhibition. In May Howard Jackson's art, a definite talent has worked through to specific achievements. The idea of a universal brotherhood, the more subtle implications of racial fusion, the emotions of sorrow and resignation, the facts of vision and tendency, all pictorialized here. The modeling is subtle and suggestive when the anterior thought or emotion is so. This implies a technic which is very close to mature. The Christ tenderly loves two races that are one in him. And it strikes me that the Mulatto Mother is significant in relation to my comment upon Christ. If this statement seems needlessly vague, I hasten to assure the reader that it is only so because I think it a lack of taste for anyone to willfully reduce (and thereby denude of charm) an art work that is essentially suggestive in conception. Prof. Miller, Rev. Grimke, and Peter Johnson, will pardon me, I am sure, if I prefer my own bust; i.e., if the artist has expressed through me, to theirs. If I were really personal about the thing, there is an immediate life in Rev. Grimke's eyes, and a subtlety in the execution of Prof. Miller, that I might well envy. As it is, the bust of Jean Toomer, I think, attains something quite near a completeness and a fusion of a vision that but partially revealed itself in the artist's earlier work. There is unmistakable evidence, if you will, of what seems to be an inevitable sacrifice of body spirit. The bust of Kelly Miller is living on the face of it. And it is quite a remarkable life. The bust of Jean Toomer lives in what I might call its spiritual double. To be concrete, Rev. Grimke and Peter Johnson approach what is generally known as portrait busts. The idea behind them is tenuous, if it exists at all. The bust of Kelly Miller is a forceful realization of ideas of race. The bust of Jean Toomer is a vision of the realization of those ideas. May Howard Jackson has made a genuine contribution to the cultural consciousness of America. The etchings of Albert Smith are exquisite studies that reveal an artistic temperament, sensitive, suggestive, original. The ten works here displayed retain a level of skilled execution and intensity. The touch is delicate, sure. Particularly are they notable for their imaginative content. Negro art, that is, Negro art in America, has been mostly obvious. And the general tendency of the times seems to be to render it more so, even to the point of stamping out art altogether. For example, the reduction of folk-song melodies to jazz. The opposite impulse, the subtilization of perception, the refinement of execution is exquisitely incarnate in Mr. Smith. His Plantation Melodies and his Harmony give us not the facts, the crude facts of banjos, cabins, guitars, but the essence of these things, the souls of those people as he sees them. They are far removed from the Negroes of minstrel-shows and vaudeville stages. For obvious jokes they have the subtle wit of posture and gesture. For tales of the sweet-potato and possum I am certain that I should hear superstitions artfully garbed in arabesques. These are not the Negroes of real life, of Seventh Street, of Rome, Georgia you may say. No, possibly not; but they are the Negroes of art, Mr Smith's art. To step from the sculpture of Mrs. Jackson, and the etchings of Mr. Smith to the paintings generally, is to tend from attainment towards promise, from the idea and the essence to surfaces. Laura Wheeler, winner of the first prize for paintings, attains an authentic expression in certain of her landscapes denied her portraits. Her Pastoral, for instance, is not only a fine piece of color work; it gives sincere expression to a very definite emotion. You receive infinitely more than any mere mechanical arrangement of color could possibly convey. Life is in the color. Life is in the texture. Likewise I like Autumn, Evening, A Singer. Cake Table is a work that grows on one. If you pass it by for obvious, something from it will linger with you, and draw you back to it. The Portrait of Mrs. Harriet Shadd Butcher lacks the final integration, pervasive organic life. The hands are living. And I get a very definite impression from the face. But, given the expression, it seems to me that her hands would be structually, tangibly, close to her. And, if I may say it, their use would be of a defensive nature rather than aesthetic. So much for the public. I now append a query to the subtlety of Miss Wheeler. Foils? . . . The Portrait of Mrs. Charles Johnson is the artist's most successful character sketch, though, curiously enough, it is not her best. Portrait of Girl won first prize. If Messrs. Moore, Rolle, and Seaton saw there what vividly impressed me, then, naturally, I understand their award. The texture of this painting, I think, has only moderate life. The arm is lifeless. But into this texture there is set a pair of eyes that are stark challengers of the world that confronts them. It would be too limiting to say that they are the vindictive and somewhat surly reaction to race prejudice. Rather, I see in them reflection of a transitional period, delicate, consequential, through which the girl has passed. She has been bruised and hurt by the indifference, by the absence of understanding, of sympathy, by the callous insistence of her milieu. She has been rudely thrust back upon herself, and views with an ill-nature, which, if it were more intelligent would amount to contempt, the complacency of her parents and teachers, those parents and teachers who believe that when they have administered solely to her mental life that they have thereby fulfilled the sum of the needs of an adolescent girl. The eyes hold a criticism of life. They postulate an intensity of experience from which such a criticism must needs arise. Thus interpreted, the portrait is immediately seen to transcend race and country. It becomes, as its title implies, a study of generic twentieth century Girl. It is an arresting work. I may but briefly mention five of the remaining thirty-five artists now on exhibition. John E. Washington's Eventide is memorable. Particularly the skill and suggestiveness and scope of background. Mr. Washington, in a very beautiful way, catches the melow poetry of our city. Mr. Samuel Collins achieves a tone in his smaller pieces as yet denied his larger canvasses. His is talent sincerely applied. I am frank to say that I prefer Spring Day to his Beech Woods in Summer, which won the second prize. And Allan Freelon's The Church—Winter means more to me than Storm Clouds. R. H. Hampton in Sunset, Landscape, and The Lake, particularly in Landscape, touched an intimate chord in me. Fishing Time, by William E. Scott is a study of a young Negro boy, which, after one has noticed the line and bait and the distant suggestion of a river, immediately begins to reveal the spirit of Boy, bent on fishing surely, but, above fishing, beyond the allurements of the circus suggested by the poster on a near-by fence, bent on Adventure, the spirit of Boy directed towards the eternally light-hearted quest of the unknown. That he is a Negro boy, lends the quest a certain racy warmth, an overspreading suniness. Posture and face are one. The identical spirit animates them. Boys in Russia, Norway, Italy, would find this picture true to them. It is because I find so much in the figure, that I am led to express dissatisfaction with the background. If the background is to be symbolic, then I want the clouds to race, I want to see wisps scatter, wisps collected. The high-piled clouds of Mr. Scott are too static. On the other hand, if the background is to be definite, then I wish the sky to be burdened with a listless heat, I wish the grass to crinkle under it, I wish to hear crickets sing. The impression I get from Mr. Scott is chill. A Back Yard, by the same artist, is one of the finest bits of autumn coloring that I have seen. The emotion is of a rich living mellowness. The execution achieves an immediate translation of the emotion. It has the authentic stamp of art. I have said enough, I believe, to validate my assertion that the Third Annual Exhibition of the Tanner Art League is distinguished by its offering of specific talent. Two things further, however, remain to be remarked. It is no common achievement to have assembled art works as diverse as sculpture, etchings, paintings, decorated china, stained glass designs, commercial sketches, posters. When it is remembered that the artists represent the most varying localities, that for the most part they are as yet unknown to each other, and to the general public, the application and enthusiasm involved becomes apparent. At a certain phase of his career, the artist needs isolation. When this phase has been passed, solitude disintegrates, disheartens. The words of Walt Whitman come to mind: "To have great poets there must be great audiences too." This happy conjunction, the officers of the Tanner Art League are striving to bring about. Messrs. Nixon, Milton, Dodson, Washington, Collins, and Miss Rosa L. Nixon have involved us in a debt which we may best meet by actively assisting them towards their given end. Finally, this exhibit comes at the close of a season notable for its artistic activity. Drama and music at Howard University. A festival looking forward to the realization in this city of a center for American Negro Music and Dramatic Art. The activity, as you see, has been three-fold. A three-fold challenge to the artistic consciousness of Washington. And, necessarily, there has been a challenge, one art to the other. I do not wish to develop this thought too far. In fact, concrete comparison is rendered difficult, if not impossible, by the fact that the music and drama were mostly of an Music Forum Director Columbia Conservatory of Music COLORED AMERICAN COMPOSERS SCORE IN DUNBAR'S MUSIC CONTEST An unfinished "Negro Symphony" played by composer who wins five prizes. Notable gathering of music folk. Triumphed! That one word expresses all! The Dunbar Song Leaders, Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham president, held one of the most successful music affairs ever recorded in the annals of Negro Music life in the history of America. masterly. Wooding's Jubilee dered, "I'm Troubled," the audience. Mr. Wood larger recognition as a is accorded him; he is trained, experienced a musician. His quartet serving. R. Carlton Dorsey's is a hummer. Those did creditable work in Dorsey is doning real and progressive work Jessie MacBride of the Washington Times struck the keynote when she said that, "A new note will be struck," and that, "the concert is a mile-stone in our (not necessarily Negro but American) music." It WAS STRUCK! It IS a MILE-STONE in OUR music. It WAS the one best—tangible evidence of the upward trend of Negro musicianship, creative musicianship—the kind that really counts in the music world. Carl Diton Scores Hit Twenty-four compositions from twelve composers were entered in the Prize Contest. Among them the following were selected for public demonstration: "Hymn to Nebraska" (choral), Carl Diton, composer, at the piano. Mrs. Anna C. Fowler, soprano, and James B. Lomack, baritone, rendered it most acceptably; "Abide with me" (anthem), Carl Diton, composer, at the piano, and Wooding's Jubilee Singers, scoring a hit; "Good-night," composer at the piano, and Miss Margaret Jefferson, soprano—the first enclosed number and possibly the most appealing selection rendered during the program; "A Summer Lullaby," song for public school, rendered by a group of Dunbar girls with Henry L. Grant at the piano, was a meritorious composition; "Every time I Feel the Spirit," Carl Diton, composer, at the piano with Miss Estelle Pinkney, soprano, was a musical treat in itself, rich in harmonic effect, colorful and done in a masterly style by composer and soloist—rightly deserving the hearty encore received; "Keep me from sinking down," was ably presented by R. Carlton Dorsey, violinist—Miss Amy Dorsey at the piano. The most significant original composition of the evening, and the most outstanding in point of creative genius and racial achievement, was an orchestral composition," A Negro Symphony," (unfinished) first movement, andante expressivo, Carl Diton, composer, at the organ. There being no symphony orchestra available to interpret this number, the composer had written and played an arrangement for the organ. It may be rendered by a symphony orchestra next year. Mr. Diton's performance was interpretive sort, whereas the sculpture, etchings, and paintings, were directly creative. Nevertheless, development, I think, lies in this direction. Who, for instance, will give us in music arabesques and fantasy as original and as authentic as the lines of Albert Smith? What drama will enact for us the friction and the fusion of the races as in the work of May Howard Jackson? What drama will stage the frustration of adolescence as in Laura Wheeler? Come, you playwrights and composers, the Tanner Art League Exhibition has challenged, has set a pace for you! Dunbar Notes Without doubt Charles Drew of Dunbar High is one of the greatest high school athletes in this country. He has been a consistent performer in all branches of sport—football, baseball, basketball and track for four years. He is a remarkable end and will star for some eastern or western college for the next four years, thus bringing honor to Dunbar and to the race in general. In baseball he is a fine batter and can play almost any position, his forte being catching. In basketball his play has featured nearly every game Dunbar has played. A fine shot, excellent guard and a remarkable center, he will have no difficulty making his Alma Mater team no matter where he goes. In track Drew has broken all records for the running high jump by leaping 5 feet, 10 inches at the recent Hampton meet, thereby setting a mark that has never before been reached by any high school athlete in D. C. and which would win him a place right now in most college meets. He can put the shot over 30 feet and can broad jump over 20 feet. The track coach predicts that in time Drew will rank among the premier --- masterly. Wooding's Jubilee Quartette rendered, "I'm Troubled," and it pleased the audience. Mr. Wooding deserves a larger recognition as a musician than is accorded him; he is capable, well trained, experienced and a thorough musician. His quartette is equally deserving. R. Carlton Dorsey's "kid' orchestra is a hummer. Those young children did creditable work indeed and Mr. Dorsey is donig really constructvie and progressive work with them. Asst. Supt. Winkinson presents prizes. Nine $25 cash prizes were presented by Assistant Superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson of the Public Schools, as follows: Best Violin Solo to Edwin Francis Hill of Philadelphia, Pa.—“Keep Me From Sinking Down.” Best Male Chorus to N. Clark Smith of Kansas City, Mo.—“Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray,” Orchestra accompanying. Best Song for Public School use Marie A. Davis of Fisk University Nashville, Tenn.—“A Summer Lullaby,” words by Eugene Field. Best Vocal Solo to Alonzo P. Smalls of Washington, D.

Best Male Quartette to Carl Diton of Philadelphia, Pa.,—"Quinine" (humorous). Best Choral Composition to Carl Diton of Philadelphia, Pa.,—"Hymn to Nebraska," soprano and baritone solos and chorus. Best Anthem to Carl Diton of Philadelphia, Pa.,—"Abide With Me." Mr. Diton Wins Five Prizes Mr. Diton, the eminent conductor, composer and pianist won five prizes in the Dunbar Contest just closed; but on looking up the records we find that, this is not the first time he was won such honors. He was awarded First Prize in the national competition open to the Negro composers of America, February, 1914. Thus, it is but natural for Mr. Diton to compete successfully as composer. The Dunbar Song Leaders congratulate him along with the other successful contestants and hope for them a larger recognition and hearing than local musicians can offer. Also, thanks are offered to all who in anyway contributed toward the success of the affair. Mrs. Gregoria Fraser-Goins particularly deserves the thanks of all for her intelligent and deserving work as Chairman of the Prize Committee. Ernest R. Amos of Armstrong Tech directed the closing number, "Battle Hymn of the Republic," all standing. athletes of the country, with Johnson, Jourdin and his namesake Howard Drew. We expect to see him represent America on the Olympic team. News from Williams also tells of the good work in athletics shown recently when Roscoe Lewis, William Hastie and Montague Cobb, formerly of Dunbar, now of Amherst, competed with the Williams men for honors. Lewis and Hastie made a fair showing but Cobb made a fine record, winning first place in the mile race and third place in the two mile race. Washington Girl Reserves Win Silver Loving Cup In the Song Contest which formed one of the most interesting features of the Girl Reserve Conference, a silver loving cup was given as a prize to the city presenting the best Girl Reserve Song. The words of the songs were written by the girls and set to popular tunes. The best song presented by the various clubs was selected as the city song and these city songs deserved high praise, but the Washington contribution was selected by the judges as the prize song. It was written by Carolyn Evans of 1962 2nd Street, a member of the Junior Dramatic Club. The tune selected was "April Showers" and the selection of words showed great care and skill on the part of Miss Evans and leads us to hope that she will continue to cultivate her poetic abilities. On last Wednesday evening Mr. and Mrs. James S. Ford entertained at their residence 927 S Street, N. W., a party of friends at five hundred. The following guests being present: Mr. and Mrs. Lockley, Mrs. Robert Logan, Misses Melva Grey and Ella C. Ford, Dr. Wells, Dr. John Smoot, Messrs. C. A. Cornish and W. L. Patterson of New York. Afterwards the guests assembled in the dining room where a dainty repast was served. LOCALS ANACOSTIA NEWS Matthew M. Taylor, Petty Officer, U. S.

BOOK REVIEW A School History of the Negro Race in America: This book is by Edward A. Johnson, LLB. and deals with the history of the American Negro from 1619 to 1890, and in addition the history of the Negro soldiers in the Spanish-American War. It is profusely illustrated. The value of this book lies in the fact that it is a record of many minor events in the history of our race as well as of the better known events. Here is an example. "Thomas Fuller, sometimes called 'the Virginia Calculator,' must not be overlooked in speaking of the record of the Virginia Negro. He was stolen from his home in Africa and sold to a planter near Alexandria, Va. His genius for mathematics won for him a great reputation. He attracted the attention of such men as Dr. Benjamin Rush, of Philadelphia, who, in company with others was passing through Virginia. Thomas was sent for by one of the company and asked, "how many seconds a man of seventy years, some months, weeks and days had lived?" He gave an exact number in a minute and a half. The man who questioned him took his pen, and after some figuring told him he must be mistaken, as the number was too great. 'No,' said Fuller, 'you have left out the leap years'— and sure enough he was correct." Such citations of these minor, yet interesting stories are frequently made in this book. It is a good reference book for home and school. Published by Edward A. Johnson, 1891. Revised 1911, Raleigh, N. C. Price, cloth bound, $1.25. A VISIT TO NIAGARA FALLS I have always had a desire to see the great falls of Niagara and the opportunity came last summer. Mother my brother and I went to New York City to spend two weeks. As we were not a very great distance from Niagara Falls, mother suggested that we take a trip to the falls. Brother and I were over-joyed, as we desired to see if the falls were like the pictures we had seen in our geographies. After several hours' ride on the train we were at our journey's end, and I was to view the wonderful work of nature. When I saw the water rushing down and heard the terrible roar I became frightened and started to my mother who held me until I became used to the noise. Finally, I stood gazing at the falls, trying to appreciate its beauty and magnificence, and unable to take my eyes from the wonderful sight. I had never imagined it was so beautiful and I shall never forget that sight. When we had spent a long time watching the falling, tumbling, rushing, roaring waters, we got into boats, put on our rain coats, and went down under the falls. I enjoyed the trip very much and was sorry when the time came to leave. NORRIS HOPKINS (Age 15.) (From Shaw Junior High. School Review by permission.) HJAWATHA By MARION JACKSON, Age 10 (Scholar at Summer School; Miss J. S. Syphax, teacher.) We have been reading about Hiawatha, the great hunter (as he was often called). I do not like the poem very well because there are too many lines telling about the same thing. The part I do like best is that of Hiawatha's wooing. I like that part because it tells what kind of man he was. Hiawatha selected Kwasind and Chibiobos as his friends because they were known to be very great men. Kwasind was very strong: stronger than any mortal. He could do a great deal of work. Chibiobos was the best of all the musicians. When he sang, all the birds stopped to listen. His Wooing One day Hiawatha was sitting lonely thinking of some one he should marry. Old Nokomis told him to marry some one of his tribe but he refused. He said he wanted to marry some one of the Dacotahs because they were so pretty. Nokoms told him the Dacotahs made war aganist his tribe, but he said if he married Minnehaha of the Dacotah the tribes would be more united, he then went away. On the way he saw a herd of fallow deer, but they did not see him so he killed one and took it on with him. Soon he came to the house of the arrow-maker, father of Minnehaha, and he threw the red deer at her feet. Minnehaha had heard her father praise him for his wisdom and courage. Hiawatha talked about their tribes a little and when he was through he asked the arrowmaker for his daughter and the arrowmaker agreed and Hiawatha and Minnehaha went away. OROONOKO: THE ROYAL SLAVE There was a very warlike tribe of natives in that portion of Africa called Coromantien. Therefore they had many captives ready to be sold as slaves to the English plantation owners in the South American colony called Surinam. The king of Coromantien was a hundred years old. All of his sons had fallen in battle, and only one grandson was left him as heir to his throne. Oroonoko, as the young prince was called was very intelligent and his grandfather, the king, hired a French teacher to instruct the lad. He loved best to study about the ancient Romans. As his grandfather was old and it was necessary to have a young man whose arms were strong, whose limbs were supple, whose legs were fleet, and whose mind was clear, Oroonoko was entrusted in the care of the royal chief headman for his training in the arts of war. Later Oroonoko went to war and upon the death of the chief headman, the young warrior succeeded him as the head of the army. He was only seventeen years old but he soon brought the war to a victorious close, returning to his home with many slaves. Our prince gave a hundred and fifty of his captives to Imoina, the very beautiful daughter of the chief headman. They loved each other and hoped to marry. The king had heard so much of the beauty of Imoina, that he sent a royal message demanding her to come to him at once. He had decided to marry her himself and she had to obey. Oroonoko of course, was very angry to learn that his grandfather had compelled Imoinda to marry. During the night he attempted to get her from the otan (harem) of the king and was prevented from doing so by the king's spies. The king sold Imoinda to the captain of a slave ship. The king would not tell the prince that he had sold Imoinda into slavery but he made the statement that she was dead. Oroonoko was full of sorrow. He gathered an army and went into battle and captured many of his enemies and sold them into slavery. Oroonoko was tricked by one of his grandfather's captains and after being made drunk he was attacked and put in chains and carried to South America and sold into slavery. He was sold to the owners of Imoinda and great was their surprise and joy at meeting. Oroonoko brooded over being a slave. He had no faith in white people. He sought his freedom of the lord-governor and being promised it, he was again tricked, carried away and tied to a post and whipped until his body bled. He was then bound in chains and cast into a prison. He had such influence with the slaves that the white people feared he would start an insurrection. He was rescued by a plantation overseer (a man who had charge of slaves). His heart was sad and the idea of being a slave caused him to decide to kill himself. Imoina wanted to die with him rather than stay a slave, so he killed her and their little son. Oroonoko decided he would kill the lord-general before he died. He turned back to do so but fell into the hands of some soldiers and he was killed. (Note: This narrative is from the novel written by Mrs. Aphra Behn (white), Mrs. Behn was born at Wye, England, July 10, 1640. She was a noted English novelist in the 17th century. She claimed that this is a story based on facts and she tells where and when she met Oroonoko. She died April 16, 1689.—Ed.) GERTRUDE'S ADVENTURES "Iaint a nigger," she said quietly to two little white girls whom she was in the habit of playing with. "Well, our aunt from down in Texas told mother that if we were her children, she wouldn't let us play with that little nigger next door," said the older of the two white girls. "Yes she did say so," added the other. "Well, Iaint a nigger, even if your aunt did say so. Some of our colored people call white people 'herrings' and 'crackers' but that doesn't mean that white people are. I can't explain it like mother does, but it seems as though there are lots of white people and lots of colored people who just dislike each other. "White people don't like us because we are Negroes or black. It is just because of our color. It's not because we've been slaves, because if that were true one white person would dislike the other. Mother says that way back in history the Angles and the Saxons hated each other and one made slaves of the others. Later they became more friendly and you are their descendants and are called Anglo-Saxons, but you don't know whether your families were owners or slaves. (See Scott's "Ivanhoe."—Ed.) "Then during the slavery time of the United States, there were a number of white people who were slaves—" "Is that so?" asked Mary, the younger white child. "Our school books don't say so." "I know they don't," replied our little girl, whose name was Gertrude. She continued, "Colored people don't like white people because so many of the white people are not just nor fair. White people went to Africa and deceived the African natives and brought them to America or took them to other countries and made them work without pay. "Many of the white men fell in love with the African women but would not marry them. My mother read me a poem by Mrs. Browning, called the 'Runaway Slave at Plymouth Rock.' I couldn't understand it all but I'm going to read it when I get older. You should read it, too." "Go on, tell us some more," said Mary, the little white girl. "But what's that got to do with you not being a nigger?" asked the other girl whose name was Ruth. "Oh, simply, that because your color is white is ne reason you should be called 'herring' or 'cracker.' Neither should I be called 'nigger' because I am not white. My race is as good as any race. We have bad people and so have you. We have smart people as well as you. We have poets—" "I know about Dunbar, he wrote the "No. Dunbar only wrote the words. A white composer saw the beauty of the words and set them to music. Our teacher told us about it this week, when she told us some things about 'Music Week.' As I was about to say, we have poets, music composers, artists, sculptors, journalists, movie stars, phonograph stars, presidents—" "Pres-i-dents? P-r-e-s-i—" gasped Ruth. "Yes. The president of Liberia, a country in Africa, is a Negro. Liberia is a country ruled by Negroes." "We saw something in our geographies about Liberia. I'm going to ask my teacher more about it tomorrow," said Ruth. "I thought the ruler of Liberia was a king." added Mary. "No," said Gertrude, "the ruler is a president, but his name is King." "Oh, I see," said the two little girls. "And we have," continued Gertrude, "doctors, teachers, authors, athletes, prize fighters—" "But we have the champion of the world," said Ruth. "Yes, and my aunt also said today, that we shouldn't play with you because we're your superiors," said Ruth. "And I asked her how?" added Mary, "and she said, 'In every respect.' She said 'Colored people don't know anything' and when we told her that you knew as much as we did, she turned red in the face. She told mother that she feared we'd never amount to anything. "And later in the day we entered the room and heard her talking about a lynching, and mother told us to go out of the room, but Mary asked anty of Negroes were not white people's superiors why did white people go in mobs to get one colored man and then shoot him. Mother made us leave the room." "Oh, let's play something," said Gertrude. "That is—if you want to. I'm human—and I aint a nigger." "Don't say 'aint'; say—" "I know 'aint' aint right and I also know I'm not a nigger." "So do we know it. Let's play school; Gert, and you be teacher," said Ruth. "All right," said Gertrude.

THAT LONELY HOUR By Bertha V. Skinner, Age 13 O! How sad it is In that lonely midnight hour When the clock is ticking, ticking And there is not a sound When you awake and look around And all is dark In that lonely midnight hour. NEGRO CITIES (By J. A. G. LuValle) Red Bird. Okla Red Bird, Oklahoma, is on the branch of the M. K. & T. railroad running from Muskogee to Tulsa, Okla. It is twenty-one miles from Muskogee, four miles from Coweta, and about a mile and a half from the Arkansas River. Therefore, it is in the rich valley of the Arkansas, and cotton and white potatoes are the principal products. There is a school, four churches, a post office, a colored Justice of the Peace and a population of about five hundred persons. There has been some drilling for oil near Red Bird and most of the land around there is under lease for oil. While there may not be as large a number of colored people surrounding Red Bird as there is around Boley, there are more native or "freedman" living in this section than there are around Boley. In fact, one of the largest land holders in the State of Oklahoma lives near Red Bird. His name is Robertson. Robertson has twenty-three children, each with an allotment of 160 acres of land. Practically all of it is in one tract, which gives him, his wife and children about 4,000 acres. About 1907, when the final enrollment of the Indians and Freedmen was completed, Mr. Robertson was found to have the largest family in the then Indian Territory. This fact reached President Roosevelt in some way and the President requested Mr. and Mrs. Robertson to come to Washington at his expense. President Roosevelt was an advocate of large families, hence Mr. and Mrs. Robertson came into National fame as having the largest family in the Indian Territory. LULLABY OF NEW YORK TOWN New York town is getting shadowed By the darkness of the night; New York town is going to Sleeptown Just to see some dreamful sight. New York town has hushed its bustle, All its noise, and clang, and hustle, Just to croon in ditties sweet. New York town is still a-glimmer With the lights of stars above; New York town croons' to its babies Hymns of God, and songs of love. Every house that holds a baby, (Be it little man or lady) Echoes back in accents deep, "Little babes must go to sleep." New York town with all its beauty, Dignity and pride and glory. Has for years at twilight's falling Crooned its song or told its story To its little sons and daughters (Gay as running streams of waters, Babbling as echoes repeat) "Little babes must go to sleep." —C. Leslie Frazier QUESTION BOX Dear Editor: Will you kindly tell me whether it is true that there is a medal of some sort that is awarded to Negroes for special accomplishments? I have heard that some sort of a medal exists and that Mr. Du Bois has something to do with it.—W. H. B. Norfolk, Va. W. H. B.—Evidently you have reference to the Spingarn Medal. The particulars concerning the awarding of this medal is as follows: PROFESSOR J. E. SPINGARN furnishes annually a gold medal, not costing more than $100, and which is awarded for the highest or noblest achievement by an American Negro during the preceding year, upon the following terms and conditions: (1) The board of directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People shall select five persons, who may or may not be members of that board, as the committee of award, and this committee shall have full charge of the awarding of the medal, the design, etc., and its decisions in regard to all matters connected with the medal shall be final. (2) At the annual conference on the Negro, held under the auspices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, this medal shall be awarded, with appropriate ceremonies, to the man or woman of Negro descent, citizen of the United States, who shall have made the highest achievement during the preceding year in any field of elevated or honorable human endeavor; and the committee of award shall decide for itself, in each year, what particular act deserves the highest acclaim; and nothing in this section shall be understood to limit their choice in any way to any one field, whether that field be intellectual, spiritual, scientific, commercial, educational or any other. (3) The committee of award may withhold the award of the medal in any year, if no achievement seems to merit an award, and in that event the committee may employ the money so withheld for the creation of one or more medals in the following year or years, to be awarded as a second, third or other prize in accordance with the same principles. (4) The donor is to furnish $100 each year to the board of directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People until further notice, this sum to be used for the purpose herein indicated, and the sums so given shall not be used for any purpose except that described above, nor shall the committee of award be authorized to spend for any medal or medals more than already, (at any given time) may actually form part of the medal fund.

Prof. Kerlin included this poem in a paper, read by him on May 13, 1920, before the Sou- thern Sociological Congress which met here in Washington. Mr, Shackelford has written a number of poems and published them in permanent book form. He lives at Jamacia Plains, N. Y. Prof. Kerlin said that this poem represents “the authentic voice of mil- lions of black folk.” TRAT PUR TOE EE *Tis commanded in the Scriptures ‘That we pray for our foes, Even those who heap upon us Our burdens and our woes. I believe in this commandment, And shall take it unto me, ‘And for those who lynch the Negro This my daily prayer shall be: May their days be “days of sorrow” ‘And their home the house of death, And may dread and terror seize them With the drawing of each breath; May the pains their victims suffered— Multiplied ten thousand fold— Rend their very soul asunder Till their errors they behold. May their children share the burdens Of the wrongs which they have done; and Friends of the Howard Universi- ty. During the entire week band con- certs will be held at noon by the R. 0. T. C, Band. Radio “listening in” concerts will be held every evening from 6:30 to 9:30 in the Thirkield Science Hall on the University Cam. pus.

That this seating arrangement wa: looked upon as a “Jim Crow” action by white people, is shown by the fact tha’ the correspondent of the Philadelphis Public Ledger had a paragraph in th Washington news dispatch to his pa per on Wednesday morning, May 31 May the aftermath to follow | Spare not daughter, neither son. ‘May their children's children curse | them ‘Whom they should have blessed for birth, Had their place in life been other Than the “vilest scum of earth.” May their wells of water fail them, And their cattle be desvroyed, May they “have no pleasure in them,” Nor the sins‘they once enjoyed. May the flood, the plague and famine, Hedge them in on every hand, Till their petrifying corpses Shall pollute the very land. And may those who hold high places And their duty fail to do, Be included with the guilty When the punishment is due. May the whole world turn against them Who defend a lyncher’s name. May they be cut off from mercy While they revel in their shame. May the wrath of God burst o’er them, Blast, and blight each foul life Till they reap the ripened harvest Of their hellishness and strife. Yea, unless they shall repent then, May the bitterest of ends Rest on them and theirs forever, On the lynchers and their friends. —Theodore Henry Shackleford reading as follows: “Observed at the Memorial Dedica- tion. “A ‘Jim Crow’ section of seats, di- rectly opposite the center of the Me- morial, reserved exclusively for dis- tinguished colored ticket holders.” These “distinguished colored ticket holders” did not fare as well as those not so well distinguished, for they were not “jim crowed” in their stand- ing thru the exercises. The colored and white persuns not seated, were standing wherever they could find room. It was the colored ticket hold- ers, “the distinguished” ones, who felt the brunt of Col. Sherrill’s North Car- olina policy, as he sees fit to inject it into the Nations’ Capital, aided and abetted by the President. ‘The President’s policy, “of inescap- able difference,” carried out thru his North Carolina appointee, Col. C. 0. Sherrill, has cropped out in a number of instances here in the District. The colored people are thoroly aroused at the effrontry of these appointees and are losing faith in the G. 0. P. as being the “ship,” so dramatically ex- presed by the late Frederick Douglass. Several prominent persons said that this was the last occasion where dis- crimination should have shown itself. ‘This latest slap in the face, while “all the World” loked on, has aroused not a few of the erstwhile complai- sant and compromising Republican supporters. 2s Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson and At. torney Chas. S. Hill are the only ones that we have heard of who had tickets and did not go to.the exercises. Col. Johnson said that he felt it would not go off right, and he went fishing. At- torney Hill noticed that all the tick- ets that he could hear off were for section “V” and he felt that would be a “Jim Crow” affair and remained away. DR. RR. MOTON TELLS NATION NEGRO HAS JUSTIFIED LINCOLN (Continued from page t) of high courage and deep devotion remains to inspire noble sons of va- liant fathers—the united voice of a grateful posterity will say that the greatest of Lincoln lies in this .. . . that he spoke the word that gave freedom to a race. “Twelve million black Americans share the rejoicing of this day. To Lincoln above all others we owe the privilege of sharing as fellow citizens in the consecration of this spot.” Taft Presents Memorial ‘The Lincoln memorial was present- ed to President Harding for the American people by Chief Justice William Howard Taft as “a shrine at which all can worship; an al- tar upon which the supreme sacri- fice was made for liberty; a sacred religious refuge in which those who love country, and love God can find THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, JUNE 38, 1922 inspiration and repose.” “And now, Mr. President,” hhe con- cluded, “the ideal of these great American artists has found expression in the memorial at you see it. It is a magnificent gem set in a lovely val- ley between the hills, commanding them by its isolation and its entranc- ing beauty, an emblem of the purity of the best period of the Greek art in the simple Doric, the culmination of the highest art of which America is capable. On Conflicts Border Line “Here on the banks of the Potomac, ‘the boundary between the two sec- tions, whose conflict made the burden, passion and triumph of his life, it is pecuilarly appropriate that it should stand, “Visible in its distant beauty from the Capitol, whose great dome typi- fies the Union which he saved, seen in all its grandeur from. Arlington, where lie the nation’s honored dead, who fell in the conflict, Union and Confederate alike, it marks the res- toration of the brotherly love of the ‘two sections in this memorial of one who is as dear to the hearts of the South as to those of the North.” The President’s Speech In accepting the Memorial on be- half of the American peoplé, President Harding made one of the speeches for which he is famous. = Concerning Lincoln’s attitude to- ward the union and slavery the Presi- dent said: “The supreme chapter in history is not emancipation, though that achieve- ment would have exalted Lincoln throughout all the ages. The simple truth in that Lincoln, recognizing an established order, would have com- promised with the slavery that ex- isted if he could have halted its ex- tension. Hating human slavery as he did, he doubtless believed in its ulti- mate abolition through the develop- ing conscience of the American peo- ple, but he would have been the last man in the republic to resort to arms to effect its abolition. Emancipation was a means to the great end—main- tained union and nationality. Here was the great purpose, here the tow- ering hope, here the supreme faith. He treasured the inheritance handed down by the founding fathers, the ark of the covenant wrought through their heroic sacrifices, and builded in their inspired genius. The Union must be preserved. “Tt was the central thought, the un- alterable purpose, the unyielding in- tent, the foundation of faith. It was worth every sacrifice, justified every cost, steeled the heart to sanction ev- ee crimsoned tide of blood. Here ‘was the great experiment—popular - gov- ernment and constitutional union— menaced by greed expressed in human chattels. With the greed restricted and unthreatening, he could tem- porize, “When it challenged Federal au- thority and threatened the union it pronounced its own doom. In the first inaugural he quoted and reiter- ated his own oft-repeated utterance, ‘I have no purpose, directly or indi- rectly, to interfere with the institu- tion of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclina- tion to do so.’ He believed in main- taining inviolate the rights of the States, but he believed no less firmly in the perpetuity of the union of the : Mother-Child Center The Mother-Child Center was es: tablished here in Washington throug! the influence and efforts of Mrs. Alma J.
