Progressive Policy Against Segregation Given as Cause
FRAME-UP EVIDENT
Policemen Given Orders by Leader to "Get" Editor Somehow
Stung by the fair and just criticisms of the Louisville News against the jim crow park, the lily whitism of the Republican party, the betrayal of the Negro by Senator Ernest, Representatives Ogden and Langley, who begged for and accepted the Negro's vote but would not stand up for him even on such a simple measure as the Anti-Lynching bill, J. H. Scales, head of the Republican organization in Louisville, swooped down on the News office last Wednesday night and before editor William Warley was aware of his intentions slapped the editor in the face. After striking editor Warley, Scales let loose a foul stream of vulgarity and profanity all through which he used the term "dam nigger."
Editor Warley figuring Scales was drunk and irresponsible for his actions, kept his head and tried to placate Scales, who came into The News office accompanied by another white man who never opened his mouth during the tirade, but who stood menacingly near with one hand in his pocket continually. When invited to fight, editor Warley refused because he was convinced this man had come as part of a frame-up. He was more convinced when he looked out of the door and saw four policemen standing on the corner. He was doubly convinced when two of the officers passed slowly by evidently wondering why Scales had not come out. As they pased Warley called them in and asked them to put Scales out of his office. Twice he appealed to them but they did not answer. Finally when Warley convinced Scales he could see no wisdom in fighting under the circumstances, he (Scales) turned to the officers and demanded: "You get this damn nigger—somehow. Get him; that's all." One of the officers meekly answered, "All right, Mr. Scales, we will."
The colored voters of Louisville are up in arms over the incident and a lively fight is promised in the fall elections.

FRATERNAL ORDERE BUILDS MODERN BATH HOUSE
Hot Springs', Ark. June—Although he new $200,000 Bath House erected here by the Woodmen of Union will not be formally dedicated until the last week in August, hundreds of visitors have been through the building and many others have enjoyed the health-giving baths.
The erection of this Bath House is a noteworthy achievement in Negro fraternal circles in that it represents no extra assessment on the 42,000 members. Dr. E. A. Kendall, the Supreme President and John L. Webb, the Supreme Custodian, have thus proved their leadership among the Woodmen of Union and their ability to guide the destinies of a great brotherhood upon the highest principles.
John L. Webb is a graduate of Tuskegee. With his experience as a builder, Mr. Webb supervised the construction of the Bath House and effected economics which saved the Woodmen of Union more than $80,000.
The Woodmen's Bath House is a three-story brick structure containing bath rooms, cooling rooms, rest rooms, guest chambers, parlors, operating rooms, diet kitchen, private wards, laundry and gymnasium. It combines in a satisfactory degree the important features of a hospital and a hotel and bath house. To assure every comfort for the guest a host of experienced attendants are engaged while a professional chiropodist and an experienced beauty culturist have suites in the building. The bath rooms proper are equipped with modern inlaid porcelain bath tubs adjoined by sanitary vapor rooms. The floors of the bath rooms are of mosaic tile and the eight-foot wainscoting is of marble. The building is also equipped with an automatic heating and ventilating machine and a sanitary pumping and iceing machine fur-

PARENT-TEACHERS ASSOCIATION'S ACTIVITIES
Association Lays Claim to the Naming of the School Building
During the World War there was started in Alexandria a branch of the War Camp Community Service under the supervision of Mr. J. Byron Hopkins. Later, Miss Fletcher M. Howell who assisted Mr. Hopkins, instigated several community clubs. Eventually the Parent-Teachers Association was organized in January, 1918; Miss Howell was elected president, Mrs. C. E. J. Holland, vice-president; Mrs. Blanche Taylor, secretary; and Mr. H. T. White, treasurer.
The Executive Committee at that time consisted of the officers, Mesdames Gertrude C. Hopkins, Melinda Jackson, Bertha Skinner and Mr. S. A. Tucker.
In March of the same year Mrs. Howell resigned, due to the fact that a W. C. C. S. worker could not hold an office in local organizations. She was succeeded by Mrs. Catherine Holland who has held that position ever since.
The Mother's Progressive Club which was organized about this time, by Miss Rebecca Eaton, sent a petition to the school board asking for a new school building. This petition was sanctioned by the Parent-Teacher's Association.
Later Mr. W. H. Sweeney, superintendent of schools visited several meetings of the association to exhibit various plans for a new school building. Mr. W. Finke, president of the school board at that time, visited one or two of these meetings with Mr. Sweeney.
The Parent-Teacher's Association having aroused interest in a new school building and being assured of immediate action in the construction of same, the association appointed an Equipment Committee and instructed it to raise funds for furnishing an industrial department. This committee was made up of members of the association and of members of the Mother's Progressive Club.
Funds amounting to $662,84, with its accrued interest, are now deposited in a local bank to the credit of the Equipment Committee. The Parent-Teacher's Association later selected the names of two former principals as the name for the pro-

The Ladies' Auxiliary will conduct Ladies' Day at the Y. M. C. A. Sunday, June 25th at 3 o'clock. A good program will be rendered. Reverend Wilson of Walker Memorial Baptist church will speak. All are invited. Admission free.
The Checker Club of the Association was reorganized last night and a program is being mapped out which will appeal strongly to the adult members of the Association. All persons who are interested in checkers are requested to meet at the Association Friday evening June 23rd at 7:30 p. m. in the Executive Office.
Another Busy Men's Physical Class will begin on Saturday, June 24th at 1 o'clock. This will enable those who are engaged in the government service to participate. All men are invited to attend. Thirty minutes in the gym, a swim and a shower will do more to build up one physically than anything else. All men interested are requested to be present at the hour indicated. Bring along a pair of soft bottom shoes (tennis shoes will do) light trousers and light-weight shirt.
"Y" BOYS TO HIKE TO GREAT FALLS
Next Saturday the High "Y" boys will hike to Great Falls. The party leaves the "Y" building between 6 and 6:30 a.m. All boys of high school age are invited to join the party. Bring a lunch along.
On Saturday June 17th, the Director of Boy's work took several of his charges on a delightful and instructive excursion to the National Museum. The boys seemed well pleased with the secretary's talk on the appreciation of art, concentrating his subject upon the famous Ward collection of bronzes depicting the simple life of the African natives. After spending a profitable hour or so in the museum, the party ended their little excursion after spending some time at the top of the Washington Monument.

From the CYNIC'S Notebook
The dedication and opening of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington City discloses to public view the two great paintings which are the chief interior decorations of the memorial.
Not only are these decorations notable on account of their size (each of the two being twelve by sixty feet), they are important because they may be regarded as an exemplification of the highest development of modern art, both as to conception and execution.
One of these paintings is of particular interest to "us" because it purports to represent Emancipation, or, more explicitly, "The Emancipation of a race." This painting would be called by artists a "triptych"; that is, three scenes or groups, separate, yet related in theme and each mutually supplementing the others. In this case the central panel or group of the triptych on the south wall shows four figures, one of whom is a Negro.
That fact would not perhaps be of great importance except for the further fact that this panel is one of the very few consequential works of art owned by the United States government—certainly the only one in or around the national capital city—which is not openly or covertly, or, perhaps it might be said as to one or two works, inadvertently, belittling to black pepole, where they are shown at all.
By the words "consequential works of art," is meant, in this ease, works of painting or of sculpture of sufficient size and so placed as to attract the notice of the general public. But even putting aside the qualification mentioned, The Cynic knows of but one work, or rather of but one figure which is an exception to the above rather sweeping statement, so far as the Capital city is concerned. The one exception is a small bronze figure about eighteen inches high representing Africa as one of the four continents. It is on the frame of the celebrated (Rogers) bronze door at the eastern entrance of the Rotunda of the U. S. Capitol building. Another worthy exception is the noble statue of "Africa," by Daniel Chester French (the same sculptor who is mentioned below) which stands in front of the U. S. Custom House in New York City.
[Note—Persons who may be interested in these works—or in this discussion—will find these works pictured and discussed in F. H. M. Mun
Imperial
1214 U St. N. W.
THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, JUNE 24, 1922
ray's "Emancipation and the Freed in American Sculpture." There are also in the book many pages of discussion of the manner in which the theme "Emancipation" has been represented by various American artists; and an elaboration of the ideas here set forth.]
The Cynic has been acquainted with these pictures in the Lincoln Memorial for several years and has seen one or two brief descriptions of them in print. But up to the date of the dedication he had seen no detailed explanation and interpretation of them. Coincidentally with the dedication on Memorial Day, there was published a complete explanation and interpretation by the artist himself—Jules Guerin.
The explanation as to the group showing the Negro is: "The Angel of Truth is giving Freedom and Liberty to the slave. The shackles of bondage are falling from the arms and feet. They are guarded by two sibyls."
Thus it will be noted that here the theme is treated allegorically. There are four figures in this group, but not one of them represents any individual—neither Mr. Lincoln nor anyone else—personally. In fact it is not Mr. Lincoln that is shown as freeing the slave, but it is "The Angel of Truth"; or—as the writer interpreted it when he first saw it many months ago—"The Spirit of Truth or Justice," or perhaps "The Spirit of the Times," as this Spirit has been created or made active by such persons as Lovejoy, Garrison, Phillips, Douglass, John Brown, and a host of others in America and elsewhere.
Such is the view taken by the more discerning of modern thinkers concerning great events and movements, especially of a political or politico-economic kind. And this view is reflected in the works of the higher artists. To be sure the lesser artists—or at least many artists when working for what they regard as lesser people—frequently try to be more "realistic" and personal, as witness the Booker T. Washington statue recently unveiled at Tuskegee in which he is represented as personally "lifting the veil of ignorance from the race"—a representation which could not be regarded as conforming to modern practice in the realms of the higher art, even if it were historically true that such a thing had actually been accomplished and that it was a personal achievement of Mr. Washington.
In these mural decorations in the Lincoln Memorial, although there are forty-eight figures, not a figure represents Mr. Lincoln nor any other "person." The entire six panels or groups are symbolical and im-personal. The one personal representation of Mr. Lincoln in the memorial is a marble figure by Daniel Chester French. It is placed in the centre of the main apartment. It 's shows the
Phone North 3295
martyred President seated in a chain—"doing" nothing.
This is in keeping with the canons of the higher art. For, while it is permissible and common to commemorate individuals by personal portrayal in statues or in pictures, seldom are they shown "doing" anything; least of all do the more intelligent artists, especially when working for persons of higher artistic taste, attempt to picture or represent someone as personally performing a great achievement so intangible as "Emancipating a race," or "Lifting the Veil of Ignorance from a race."
The difficulty if not impossibility of accomplishing such a result in a manner that would be adequate and pleasing to persons of cultivated taste may be appreciated if we try to imagine what would have resulted had the artist who made the Grant statue, recently unveiled in Washington, attempted to show him personally as "Saving the Nation" or "Winning the War," even if either of these accomplishments had been wholly his personal work, as of course they were not.
In short, in agreement with the trend of modern discernment and democratic feeling, the higher art is getting away from the apotheosising or glorifying of individuals for the great achievements which are really the results of the work, and thought, and sacrifice of the many, and nowhere perhaps is this tendency more strikingly seen than in this latest and greatest of American memorials to her greatest citizen.
The full explanation and interpretation is as follows:
"In general terms, the decoration on the south wall represents the Emancipation of a race; the subordinate groups represent Civilization and Progress. The decoration on the north wall represents Reunion and Progress in the arts and sciences. The artist's interpretation of these mural paintings is as follows:
"The decorations in the Lincoln Memorial typify in allegory the principles evident in the life of Abraham Lincoln. There are six groups in a grove, each group having for a background express trees, the emblem of Eternity.
"The decoration above the Gettysburg address (on the south wall) typifies, in the central group, Freedom and Liberty. The Angel of Truth is giving Freedom and Liberty to the slave. The shackles of bondage are falling from the arms and feet. They are guarded by two sibyls.
"The left group represents Justice and Law. The central figure in the Chair of the Law has the sword of Justice in one hand; with the other she holds the Scroll of the Law. Seated at her feet are two sibyls in interpreting the Law. The standing figures on each side are the Guardians of the Law, holding the torches of Intelligence."
"The right group represents Immortality. The central figure is being crowned with the laurel wreath of Immortality. The standing figures are Faith, Hope and Charity. On each side is the vessel of wine and the vessel of oil, the symbols of Everlasting Life.
"The decoration above the Second Inaugural Address (on the north wall) has for the motive of the central group Unity. The Angel of Truth is joining the hands of the laurel-crowned figures of the North and South, signifying Unity, and with her protecting wings ennobles the arts of Painting, Philosophy, Music, Architecture, Chemistry, Literature and Sculpture. Immediately behind the figure of Music is the veiled figure of the future. The left group typifies Fraternity. The central figure of Fraternity holds within her encircling arms the Man and the Woman, the symbols of the Family developing the abundance of the earth. On each side is the vessel of wine and the vessel of oil, symbols of Everlasting Life. The right group represents Charity. The central figure of Charity, attended by her hand-maidens, is giving the Water of Life to the halt and the blind, and caring for the orphans."
The above explanation and interpretation of these great representations is worthy of careful study, not only on account of its immediate interest as representing and typifying the work of Mr. Lincoln, but for the additional reason that it is perhaps the most elaborate and successful example of symbolic representation in modern art. And those who have not already done so would do well to preserve this description—which as already stated sets forth just what the artist was attempting to depict—and carry it with them when visiting the memorial or viewing a reproduction of these paintings; for—at least for the most of us—it will no doubt add much to the understanding and appreciation of these great works of art.

The Oriental Tigers A. C. and the Deanwood A. C. will meet at Union League Park next Sunday for the second time this season. A large attendance is expected at this game. Game starts 3:15.
ATHLETICS DEFEAT
ST. CYPRIANS
Before a large crowd on the St. Cyprina's diamond, the Washington Athletics, champions of the District defeated the St. Cyprian's 14 to 5. With two of the Athletics star players, Fells and Wilson, missing, the Athletics came to life and showed the fans that they are to be feared again this season.
In the first three innings the Athletics scored seven runs off Parker by their hard hitting; and in the 8th, hits rained from the bats of the Athletics which resulted in six more runs.
A throw from the out field by Johnson, getting Henson at the plate, who had pinch hit for Bush in the 9th, received a base on balls, stole second and third and tried to score on J Harris's single, brought much applause from both sides.
Home runs by Punch and Barner and the timely hitting by Johnson, Pierson, Carroll, and King and Punch's pitching, allowing 5 hits and striking out 13 men, were the features of the game.
LEDROIT TIGERS ON TOUR
The LeDroit Tigers baseball team, with about 15 players left Wednesday afternoon for Norfolk, Portsmouth, Newport News, Petersburg and Richmond, Va., to play a series of games with teams representing these towns. The Tigers have setting the pace for the local teams in the District so far this season. Manager Allen is out for championship honors of the District and therefore is determined to make a fine showing while away from home. Full accounts of all games played will be published in The Tribune.
The Boys of the 12th St. Y. M. C. A. held a very interesting aquatic meet last Wednesday evening. H. Walker was the individual star with T. Jackson pushing him hard for first honors. Both boys are swimmers of great promise.
The result of the meet was as follows: 100 yd. swim—1st H. Walker; 2nd T. Jackson; 3rd Chase. 180 yds—1st Walker; 2nd T. Jackson; 3rd Chase. Ducking Contest, won by Jackson over Queen.

ORIENTALS DEFEAT SOUTHERN
A. C.
The Oriental Tigers scored a 5 to 4 victory over the Southern A. C. in an exciting game last week. The pitching of Scriver and the great support given him were the features of the winners. The batting of Spauding and Krenle were the outstanding features of the losers.

LARGEST GRADUATE CLASS IS RECORD
The Fifty-first annual commencement of the Myrtilla Miner Normal School was held Tuesday night, in the school auditorium. Mrs. Coralie Cook was to have presided but was out of the city and Attorney Wm. L. Houston filled her place. Senator David I. Walsh, of Massachusetts, delivered the graduating address, the theme of which was service and keeping in touch with the common people.
Dean Dwight O. W. Holmes, of Howard University, awarded Miss Beatrice B. Jackson a scholarship to Howard next year. The diplomas were presented by Assitant Superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson. Superintendent Ballou was scheduled for remarks at each of the colored schools, but because of his experience with a hold-up man Monday night, he gave this as an excuse to stay away.
Class Night Miner Normal
The class night at Miner Normal Saturday night attracted a large crowd. "The Culture of Color" was the subject of the pageant which gave glimpses of the contributions of the darker races to world civilization. It covered the Yellow world, the Brown world, the Red World and the Black world in two parts, Africa and America. The American Negro was shown in dance, geography, agriculture, invention, military life, the stage, education, art, music and literature.
This has been a very satisfactory year in school circles. This is the largest number of graduates coming from the city schools in the history of the District. It is also the largest number of colored graduates of any city in this country.
HONOR WINNERS
The following is a list of the graduates and the winners of scholarships and honors in the Miner Normal School and in the High Schools for the school year 1921-1922: Miss Beatrice B. Jackson won the Howard University scholarship offered Miner Normal graduates.

MRS. HEYWARD, BUREAU OF ENGRAVING EMPLOYEE, DEAD
Mrs. Constance Beatrice T. Heyward, the wife of Harrison R. Heyward, after an illness of sixteen weeks died Sunday morning, May 28, at
A. E. H.
the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Turner, 1520 10th Street, N.W. Washington, D. C. Mrs. Heyward leaves a daughter
THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, JUNE 24, 1922
(Thelma B.), nearly five years old, a husband and mother and father to mourn their loss.
Mrs. Heyward was born in Bryan, Texas, but moved, with her parents, to San Antonio, Texas when she was about six years old. She attended the St. Peters Catholic Primary School of San Antonio, Texas, Storr's (Congregational) Elementary School of Atlanta, Ga., the Public Schools of San Antonio, Texas, after which she graduated from the Prairie View State Normal and Industrial College, Prairie View, Texas, Class of 1911. After teaching as substitute in the City Schools of San Antonio, Texas, for a part of two years, she came to Washington, D. C., and matriculated in the Commercial College of Howard University. After leaving Howard University she was appointed to a clerkship in the office of the National Benefit Life Insurance Co., by the late Dr. Brown; and while thus employed she received an appointment as Operative in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, Treasury Department, which position she held at the time of her death.
The funeral services were held at her late residence and was conducted by Dr. J. C. Olden, Pastor of Plymouth Congregational Church.
The preliminary arrangements for the funeral were in charge of Mr. C. C. Carter, a life long friend of the family, ably assisted by Mr. David C. Johnson and other prominent members of the Texas Club. Rev. Olden manifested his interest in the spiritual welfare of the deceased by calling during her illness to offer prayer and consolation.
The neighbors and friends vied with each other to render what assistance they could in helping Mr. and Mrs. Turner to attend their daughter during her illness and after her death; among the ladies who may be mentioned, Mesdames Lilliam Queen, Hattie Barnes, D. C. Johnson, R. T. Bell, J. C. Lewis, R. T. Nelson, C. Young, L. W. Oldham, Hill, Robinson, Chavis, Williams, Payne, Slaughter, Phillips, Silar, Lucy Thornton, Smith, Gandy, Dorsey, McCauley, Heyward, Miss Georgia Jones and others, aside from a number of gentlemen friends of the family.
Interment was at Harmony Cemetery.
Floral pieces were received from Mesdames, R. T. Bell, J. C. Lewis, R. T. Nelson, C. Young, L. W. Oldham, the girls of the Bureau of Engraving, Miss Jones, Mr. Polk and the neighbors, to which two from the family
Below are a few paragraphs taken from an editorial appearing in the Washington Tribune on June 18, 1921. Read carefully and THINK.
Our fight is an economic one. Our graduates are practically forced to look for employment among our people. The white man has his business and industrial enterprises and his child readily finds employment. With us it is different. We have but few enterprises, not one one-hundredth enough to employ all of our graduates, here in Washington or throwout the country. We do not have enough to inspire a child to seek a business education, nor do we patronize those we have, which would prove that we would support our children if they should enter business.
Every parent who has a son or daughter among this year's graduates, should ask himself or herself this question: Can my child be inspired to enter the commercial world, and feel the least assurance of succeeding by securing the patronage of my people, because of the example that I have set? Or, have they reason to believe that because of my attitude toward colored enterprises, my trading with the other fellow, my decrying the efforts of my people, my praising the efforts and accomplishments of the other fellow, passing a colored enterprise, where my own people are employed, to patronize the white man thereby cutting out the possibility of employment of my own child and my friend's child; can they by such forceful examples, feel that they will receive support?
We must establish and foster more commercial and industrial enterprises for our own economic welfare; for our own preservation. We have stressed education and religion and left the economic side practically untouched. There are as many colored people in the United States as there are Jews in all the world. The Jew gives due consideration to his religious obligations and educates his children; but, he has stressed the economic side of life as well and as a result he is felt in all of the commercial centers of the world. Jews are a power to be recognized thruout the world. Henry Ford found that out.
But remember we only solicit your patronage on the merits of our work.
Everyday we are adding to our steadily growing list of well-satisfied customers. You, too, will be well pleased with our service. Our stock of equipment is complete. We want your business because we know we can retain it. Automobile owners appreciate the worth of our up-to-date service. Considering the satisfaction we give, our charges are the most reasonable in the city. Before starting on that motor trip, stop by and have us look over your car for defects. WE WILL SAVE YOU TIME, MONEY AND EXPENSE.

NEW BAPTIST CHURCH FOR ANACOSTIA
On last Wednesday, June 14, at 1 o'clock p.m. an Ecclesiastical Council assembled in the Odd Fellows Hall on Summer Road, Anaecostia, D. C., at the call of a company of brethren and sisters in Christ, seeking recognition as a regular Missionary Baptist Church. Rev. M. W. D. Norman, D. D., LL. D., was moderator, and Rev. J. L. Loving, D. D., was clerk.
After hearing the plea of the company of brethren and sisters and finding their membership regular according to Baptist usages, on motion by Rev. Richard Johnson, seconded by Dr. D. Jarvis, it was unanimously decided that the church should be recognized and be known as the Matthews Memorial Baptist Church. The name selected is to perpetuate the memory and good works of the late Rev. Joseph Matthews, D. D., formerly pastor of the Bethlehem Baptist Church.
by Rev. W. J. Howard, D. D., who delivered a great message filled with inspiration.
The committee on program was composed of Rev. W. T. Downs, Rev. Robert Anderson and Rev. F. Pree; the hand of fellowship was given by Rev. W. D. Jarvis, D.D., and the charge was given by Rev. J. Milton Waldron, D.D.
Twenty-eight churches were represented and a most harmonious council was had.

VACATION

Vacation are happy days, fall of

goes to make up life.

One picture shows the entire monu-
ment, which is the work of the sculp-
tor, George E. Bissell (white), now
‘deceased. The particular group dis-
hem!) is laughter time and nothing
else.
But there is a very pleasant, profit.
able way to spend one’s vacation, in
conformity with our general inclina.
| tions,, which will not interfere with
|our joys and frivolities.
| Let us plan.
| Let one reader of the Tribune decide
|t0 do one of the following things. Af.
|ter deciding which you would prefer
| to do, talk it over with your parents.
| The following ure some of the prin-
|cipal fields which must be entered in
the next ten years:
| Publishing; manufacturing of cloth-
|ing, household necessities, machinery;
preparing for efficient service as ma-
|sons; scientists; proof-readers; fi-
nanciers; disease specialists, (Physi-
icians making a study of one disease,
and knowing it thoroughly); master
\electricians; master workers in ce-
|ment; wig makers; costume designers
|and makers; composers of clean com-
‘edies; composers of serious and semi-
|serious dramas; theater owners; or-
‘ganizers of aggressive economic, and
| industrial, and commercial organiza-
|tions; master machinists; master me-
chanies; aviators; radio experts; coffin
makers; scientific farmers; tellers of
juvenile stories; commercial agents
(local, state, national, international) ;
radical, progressive politicians; min-
isters who are more interested in souls
than in building fine churches or the
mere raising of conference funds;
teachers who know race history and
real history; in short those occupa-
tions in which the chief elements are
preparation and persistence.
Whatever you decide to do, go at it
with a vim, Have more ambition than
being satisfied with a government job.
Look ahead for old age—self-em-
‘ployment is the only security for an
independent old age.
Look upon each job as a means to
an end—and let that end be indepen-
dence, some worthy deed done for
mankind in general, and some laudable
‘accomplishment which will add glory
and honor to the race.
Study while you're young.
Study when you get older.
Study. Study. Study.
To study is to learn and to learn is
to know.
Final success comes to the person
‘who knéws.
GERTRUDE'S ADVENTURES
Iv.
‘The morning was bright and cheery
and Gertrude arose and began croon-
ing softly;
“Thou art the soul of a summer's day,
Thou art the breath of the rose;
But the summer is fled
And the rose is dead—
Where are they gone?
Who knows? Who knows?”
She stopped and sat on the side of
the bed and meditated:
“How could a black man so closely
related to slavery, have such sweet,
sweet thoughts as Dunbar? How could
the slave poet before him, George M.
Horton, have felt such gladsome emo-
tions as are expressed in his poetry?
And Phyllis Wheatley—all, all of them
black people—yet receiving praise
from a people who hated them.”
cused in the article, which group Mr.
‘Murray called “The Democracy of
Childhood,” ean be seen on the face of
the main column of the monument
The other picture is a close-up view of
this group.
‘To a tune she had improvised her-
self she went down stairs singing lus-
tily the words of one of Horton's
poems: ‘
“Come, melting pity, from afar
And break this vast, enormous bar
Between a wretch and thee;
Purchase a few short days of time,
And bid a vassal soar sublime
On wings of Liberty.”
“Hi-jo!—so happy this morning,
little pal!” greeted Uncle Henry.
“Oh, Unky, I had real bad dreams
last night. I saw you go out in all
that storm last night and I dreamed
about Ku Klux Klans and lynchings
ever so much. Unky, where did you
go?”
“To a meeting, little dear,” came
the response.
“To a mieeting in all that rain? Gee,
I guess I'd stayed home if it had been
me,” said Gertie.
“I thought you started to say how
brave you'd be if you were a man,”
laughingly reminded her uncle,
“Oh, if I were a man I'd do a whole
lot of things for my race, I’d even go
out on a bad night like last night—
but T’d draw the line on a lodge or
club meeting.”
“Well this was for the race—this
meeting I went to last night—.”
“Do you think it best to tell Gertie
about it?” inerrupted Gertrude’s
mother.
“I don't know,” answered Uncle
Henry.
“It’s because I'm a little girl that
mother doesn’t want you to tell me
whatever you are talking about, isn’t
it Unky?” anxiously asked ‘our little
brown flower.
“Yes, my dear,” answered her moth.
er, “but some day when you are older
you shall know.”
“Gee—I wish I were a man. I’d—.”
“You'd be just such a man as the
race needs right now—,”
Unele Henry’s sentence was broken
‘off when he noticed the worried look
on his wife’s face as she brought in
the morning paper and said; “You
have been betrayed, Henry. Look at
this paper. Look at it. Gracious.
What will we do? What will we do?”
“Now, dear, be quiet,” said Uncle
Henry to his wife. “Let us see.”
Taking the paper and reading the
head lines his wife pointed to him, he
read aloud:
NEGROES ORGANIZE ANTI-K.K.K.
ORGANIZATION
“Washington, D. C. June 27—A
number of automobiles of the Red Cab
Service, a local Negro enterprise, at-
tracted the attention of a passerby on
account of the frequency with which
they stopped at 940 U Street North-
west last night during the storm.
“The passerby thought it wise to in-
vestigate; and going up a back alley
and entering a rear window he was
able to enter a closet which led into a
large room where, he says, he esti-
mated there were about twenty or
thirty people. .
“It seems that an organization was
being formed in which men pledged
themselves to resent by force, through
the press, and secretly, such organi-
zations as the K. K. K.
“The listener was found the next
morning on the dancing pavilion in
the rear of Phelps public school. This
pavilion is within a hundred feet of
Police Precinct Station, No. 8. The
man had a slight wound in his head.
He claims that he does not know when
and by whom he was attacked, but
recollected the occurrences stated a-
bove.
“The man is out on bail, a charge
of house breaking being placed a-
gainst him. Later, upon investiga-
tion the people living in the house said
they were not disturbed last night nor
do they know of anyone breaking into
the house.
“Upon the stranger was found 2
quantity of K. K. K, literature, He
would give no name nor address. His
hat bore the name of a hatter in Mem.
phis, Tenn,”
“Whew! That’s not so bad,” said
Unele Henry.
“What do you know about it Un-
ky?” asked Gertie.
“Nothing, my dear,” was the ap-
prehensive reply.
“If I were a man, I'd try to organize
just such a club. I'd have men who
looked like they were white men to gc
to cities where they're not known and
join the K. K. K. and find out what
they do. T’d have cooks, porters
butlers and all to keep tab on the
people they work for, I’d have colored
nurses to tell the white children about
our great men, women and accomplish.

“Gertrude, you're a great dreamer,’
interrupted her mother, “Come let's
have breakfast.”
Gertie skipped into the kitchen sing.

Father, I’ve nothing to beg as a gift,
‘The things I need I can earn;
I won't kneel to ask you to give me a
lift
When you've given me all means to
learn;
But help me to know sixty minutes an
hour,
And sixteen full ounces a pound;
‘That a dollar’s one hundred cents
everywhere
And that truth never has a false
sound.

Without crowding some other man;
Keep me deaf to jingle of profits un-

‘And blind to the faults I would sean.
Bring me home to each meal with
conscience so clear
That while I am eating the meal,
‘I can look in the eyes of the woman
who's dear
To my heart, und have naught to
conceal.
Keep me young so the children will
call me to play,
Don’t let me forget how to laugh,
Keep me mindful that life is to be
lived today,
Not saved up for some better half,
Keep me busy, and help me to always
be kind,
Doing my part as well as I can,
‘So that when I pass on there may be
left behind
A plain stone carved with, “Here lies
a Man.”

Lincoln should be considered great,
not as the emancipator, but as the
preserver of a Nation. Mr. George
M. McCorkle pays a timely tribute to
this great American,
LINCOLN
Onward he plods his rugged path
To climb yon highest hill;
Obstructions face him, but he goes
‘On with a stubborn will.
With justice—idol of his heart,—
No pow'r can him withstand;
He has a helmet on his brow,
‘A sword within his hand.
He has a message on his lips—
An argument profound;
He ‘goes to meet his bitter foe,
To slay him on his ground.
He sees a race of darker hue
Enslaved and sore oppressed;
He looks with sympathy, and then
His great heart is distressed.
Hark! I hear a terrible crash;
‘The fight has just begun;
‘The stern comander will not stop
Until the vic'try’s won.
The great Goliath, (Slavery),
Has fallen in defeat,
Brave David (Lincoln) firmly stands
While enemies retreat.
Four million souls exultingly,
Lift up their hearts in praise;
As they emerge from slavery
‘And hope for better days.
‘This wise commander spent his days
To Inbor and to bless,
‘He dies by an assassin’s hand—
‘A elstim af enecans.
} —GEORGE M. McCORKLE

BROWN FLOWER
Why need I sing of the bright golden-
rod,
Or the lily or pansy or aster:
Why sing of the “mums” or roses, or
any
Flowers that’re large and whose col-
ors are many,
When I can come to my shrine in my
garden’s gay bowers
‘And linger for hours and hours and
hours
‘And worship you, my little brown
flower ?—
I can take you and crush you close
to my heart
And in crushing you your perfume’s
the sweetest—
Yes, your perfume ’s the rarest,
Your color the fairest—
I love you, my little brown flower,
I love you, I love you, I love you.

PROCRASTINATION
(A Sonnet)
Procrastination is the Thief of Time,
‘That daily robs its victim of success
By causing them to yield to idleness,
Which is the source of every grief and
crime.
‘Today each one can make his life sub-
lime,
By conquering temptations that
digress
‘The mind and heart; and only bring
distress,
To those who prove not frm as up
they climb.
‘Too frequently do we wait for the day
We call To-morrow: ere we make a
start, }
In Life to gain a goal that is
worth while.
It is the body that must pass away,
But its great name will never once
depart
From earth; to die on Death's
Forgotten Isle.

UNION OF THE METHODISTS
‘The assembling of the representa-
tives ef the three colored Methodist
Churches here next week will be a his-
tory making one, and should be one
of far reaching import if the object
of the meeting should be obtained.
The consummation of this union has
been talked of for many years. Every-
body is apparently ready for it and
this is the right time and place for
it to take place.
“In. Union there is strength,” would
be exemplified by these three organi-
zations; for it would give the colored
Methodist Church greater power for
good-and a wonderful impetus in its
advancement.
” Economically it is one of the for-
ward movements the results of which
would be immediate. There are now
three sets of General Officers with
their travelling expenses to pay; three
sets of Publishing Houses issuing

awarded to Alice Williams of the
seventh grade for attendance, deport-
ment, studies and an ambition to learn.
Mabel Porter of the sixth grade re-
ceived the other prize for having made
the highest average per cent in her
grade Yor the year. The George
Franklin prize, a solid gold ring, was
awarded to Mollie Brooks, she having
made the highest average per cent in
the final examination of her grade
(6th). Mary Green, 7th grade, was
given a prize by her teacher, for at-
tendance, deportment, and studies.
Special mention was made of Bertha
Skinner, Arnita Washington, Virginia
Kyer, and. Gladys Thaxton, of the
7th grade for perfect attendance.
Many children and some of the teach-
ers were the recipients of presents.
this is an overlapping of efforts and
a triple expense to the members of
the three Methodist denominations.
From the Christian point of view
it is very desirable. Union should
be one of the strongest principles of
Christianity. If Christians cannot
unite then who can? The meeting of
the commissioners next week will re-
sult in organie union of the three
churehes if selfishness does not pre-
dominate. Downright selfishness is
the only thing that will keep these
churches apart.
Union is desirable from an educa-
tional standpoint. The status of the
various educational institutions could
be adjusted so as to have a few strong
universities, with the smaller schools
run as secondary schools, to prepare
students for universities. With all of
the Methodists schools under one di-
recting head a wonderful system could
be built up that would produce untold
results.
May organic union with its great
possibilties for good and for advance-
ment, result from the meeting next
Toesday and Wednesday:
