The Washington Tribune NAME PLATE ON FRENCH PICTURE OF "COLORED HERO" HERE BADLY MUTILATED All the News That's Fit to Print NAME PLATE ON THE PICTURE OF "C HERE F Entire Word Colored and Author's Name Erased By Vandals MODEL'S FRIEND NOTICED IT Picture Hangs on the North Wall of New National Museum The attention of The Tribune was called by Dr. Garvin of Cleveland, to a picture hanging on the north wall of the New National Museum. The title of the picture had been defaced. A representative of The Tribune investigated the matter and found a beautiful picture hanging on the north wall, and the only legible word on the brass name plate was "Hero." Further investigation revealed the fact that every other picture's name plate in that section was easily read. The attention of one of the guards was called to the matter and he made an attempt to read the complete title but was wholly unable to do so. The attention of an official was then called to it and the official, evidently from memory of what it once was, read the title as "Colored Hero," but was unable to make out the painter's name. However, he referred the investigator to the office of Mr. Belote, head of the Historical Department. In Mr. Belot's office the investigator told him of his findings and asked that an investigation be made. Mr. Belote promised this immediately. The next day he called The Tribune office and stated that his investigation had failed to reveal the perpetrator of the deed but that it evidently was the work of vandals. He stated that this picture was among a group that had at one time been loaned to the Red Cross and that possibly it was then that the vandals had done their work. Mr. Belote assured this office that he would have a new name plate placed on the picture and would have it placed under glass. The picture is a beautiful full size portrayal by a French painter of his conception of a Colored Hero. He selected a model from the "Red Hand" division who had received the Croix de Guerre, the Victoria Cross and another medal; all of these appear in the picture. Dr. Garvin had known the soldier who served as the model. It was while looking through the Museum that he discovered the picture. The correct title of the picture is "Colored Hero." Dr. Scott Asks New York Age to Make Correction Reports appeared in the New York Age and the Negro World last week to the effect that Dr. Emmett J. Scott of Howard University, had received the title of K. C. O. N., (Knight Commander Order of the Nile) a title offered him by Marcus Garvey, head of the U. N. I. A. now in session in New York City. These reports were denied by Dr. Scott at his office here. Dr. Scott sent the following telegram to the editor of The Age: I call upon you to deny, repudiate and contradict in same prominent manner as is published, the wholly false, misleading and derisive article in your issue of Saturday, August nineteenth, stating that I along with others at Mr. Garvey's recent convention was "Brought under proper escort to the foot of the throne, where each kneeled and received his accolade from the sword wielded by his excellency, provisional President Marcus Garvey." I was not present at any meeting held by Mr. Garvey. I did not kneel. I received no decoration. (Continued on page 3) --- FRENCH COLORED HERO" BADLY MUTILATED NATIONAL MEDICAL ASSOC.

EPPS AFTER MILITARY INSTRUCTOR JOB Among the several applicants for the appointment as Military Instructor for the High School is Sylvester Huyler Epps. The friends of Mr. Epps are very busy promoting his interests. A copy of his record has been compiled and shows a long list of military achievements to Mr. Epps' credit. CAPT. S. H.

He later served in the Spanish-American War and in the Philippines. In 1916 he served on the Mexican border, stationed at Naco, Arizona. In the late world war he served with the District National Guard and later commanded Company B, 372nd U. S. Infantry. He received an honorable discharge at Camp Dix, N. J., Aug. 4th, 1919. Captain Epps is well known in Washington where he has spent all his life. The vacancy is due to the resignation of Major M. T.

Convention Deny Rumor That Company Has Been Sold To Whites Baltimore, Md.,—Three hundred delegates, from nearly every state in the union, representing the Mme. C. J. Walker Co., met in their national convention in Baltimore, Wednesday, continuing thru Saturday, spending that day in Washington. Mrs. Lelia Walker-Wilson, who succeeded her mother as president of the company, presided. Other representatives from the headquarters in Indianapolis present were: F. B. Ransom, general manager; R. L. Brokenburr, assistant manager; Miss May Robinson, vice president; Mrs. Alice P. Kelly, forelady; Mrs. Alice Burnett, traveling representative, and Mr. Harry Evans, advertising manager. The day sessions were for the delegates only. Mrs. Wilson captivated the large audience Wednesday night, when she lectured on her recent trip to the Holy Land. Among other speakers who followed her, Bishop Hurst and Dr. Ernest Lyons paid high tribute to her ability to take up the work of her mother and carry it on so successfully. Not Sold to White Interests Mr. F. B. Ransom, general manager of the company, denied the rumors circulating to the effect that the Mme. C. J. Walker Company had been sold since the death of Mme. Walker. Mr. Ransom declared that these reports had been circulated by rival concerns. All of the officers are practically the same as before Mme. Walker's death. He declared that Mme. Walker's will was so drawn that it was impossible for the company to be sold to white people. Mr. Ransom stated that the company manufactures sixteen different toilet articles; and the sun never sets on the thirty thousand Walker agents. He also stated that since the death of Mme. Walker, two years ago, Mrs. Wilson, as president of the company, has paid Uncle Sam more than $300,000 in revenue taxes. Saturday, the delegates came to this city and enjoyed a luncheon and program at Metropolitan Baptist Church. The showers prevented the sightseeing trip as planned by the local agents. hospitals.

Brown, a wealthy physician, president of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, the company and Mrs. N. Pearl Curtis and Mrs. Bobbie B. Lofton, daughters of Dr. Brown, petitioned the District Court to settle the matter for them. They have turned the reward of a thousand dollars over to the court and the court will pay it to the persons to whom it should go. Dr. John B. Francis and W. H. Robinson have each claimed the reward for having furnished the information leading to the arrest of James Alphonso Frye, who was recently tried and convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder. Dr. Brown, was killed at his home, 1737 11th Street, Northwest, on November 28, 1920. A great sensation was created at the recent trial of Frye, who claimed Dr. Francis was the one who killed Dr. Brown. GARVEY RESIGNS TO FORCE FIGHT GARVEY RESIGNS TO FORCE FIGHT That the enemies of the Universal Negro Improvement Association of which Marcus Garvey is President-General, have been making things hot in that organization is attested by the resignation of Mr. Garvey and a part of his cabinet this week, in New York City. Mr. Garvey said, in a speech at the Liberty Hall headquarters in New York that "the resignation of the President-General and part of the Cabinet is but the setting of the stage for a mighty international fight that will see the Red, the Black and the Green not trailing in the dust, but flying in the breeze triumphant." He further said that his resignation was simply a matter of policy. The enemies of Garvey and of his multiplicity of enterprises have made much headway during the past year, so much so that it has affected some of Garvey's lieutenants and it is possible that it is against this dissatisfied group that Mr. Garvey intends to wage his coming fight. A statement was sent out from New York City this week declaring that Garvey had connived with the Ku Klux Klan to seek the deportation of all (Continued on page 8) --- Circulation Books Open To All PRICE 5 CENTS CONVENTION OF MEDICS ATTRACTS LARGE NUMBER President Green Claims N. M. A. Has Nearly 7,000 Members DUNBAR IDEAL PLACE Public Meetings at National Museum Drew Large Crowds All roads in the medical professional world, led to Washington, where more than five hundred delegates, from all sections of the country assembled Tuesday, at Dunbar High School for the twenty-seventh annual session of the National Medical Association, with Dr. H. M. Green, of Knoxville, Tenn., as president. There are 7,000 colored physicians, dentists and pharmacists in the United States, and all of them belong to the N. M. A., according to President Green's statement Tuesday night at the National Museum. Joint and group sessions were held for each of the three groups—Physicians, Dentists and Pharmacists, at Dunbar High School. Demonstrations were held at the Freedmen's Hospital. The Dunbar School proved an ideal place for the convention. The exhibits, committee rooms, sectional meetings and joint meetings as well as the cafeteria, were all under one roof. This is the largest convention in the history of the association, 531 delegates having registered. The next largest was that in Newark, in 1919, when 464 delegates were present. The papers have been of a superior type and intense interest has been manifested in the discussions. St. Louis will probably be selected for the city in which to meet next year and Dr. Plummer, of Raleigh, N. C., will possibly be the President-elect, altho Drs. Dumas and Childs, of this city, have been favorably spoken of. Public Meetings The public meetings Tuesday and Wednesday nights, at the National Museum attracted capacity crowds, in fact, hundreds were turned away. The program was well balanced with music, addresses and responses. Dr. Wm. H. Wilson delivered the welcome address Tuesday night. He said: "No American citizen needs to be welcomed to Washington. It is your city by virtue of every activity that goes to make up this great country of ours. Washington is as much your home as it is the President's, for (Continued on page 8) Army Officer Not To Accept School Job Here It was learned this week from authoritative sources that Lieut. Col. Benjamin O. Davis, military instructor at Tuskegee Institute will not be called to Washington to take the post of Military Instructor in the High Schools, made vacant by the resignation of Major Milton T. Dean. This news will be received favorably by the candidates here who are making a fight for the position. One of the most outstanding candidates for this position is Mr. Chas. E. Lane. Mr. Lane is now connected with the real estate business. He was trained at the Officers Training Camp, Fort Des Moines, where he received his commission as First Lieutenant. He was honorably discharged from the army after a most brilliant record in France. Mr. Lane has the endorsement of some very high army and Government officials. Mr. Lane's friends are very active in his behalf and are determined to make a strenuous fight for his selection. A $100.00 Course in HAIR-VIM BEAUTY CULTURE and PERSONAL IMPROVEMENT given for $25.00.

(Copyright 1922, John Lewis Hillman) THE STORY SO FAR: Harrison Clay, a student of Tulgee University, is enthralled by the wise words of Prof. Grandstone, a philoprogenitive philosopher, when the latter asserts that within Harrison lies a great hid- den power. Intending to give Harri- son all the best educational advan- tages, Gordon Clay, his father, -de- cides to withdraw his lifetime sav- ings held in trust by his employer, James J. Wormley (white). Shortly, after, Harrison rescues 2 fourteen-yearlold white girl from drowning, incidentally saving a col- cored youth from a mob. Later revela- tion disclose the youth had only a mo. mentary respite from the mob, and was lodged in jail. Harrison's father goes the boy's bond and the latter ab- seconds to the North, After mortgaging his home to cover the released man’s default, Gordon Clay is further depressed by the news that James J. Wormley dropped dead of heart, failure while at Cincinnati. While Harrison goes west to make his way in the world, his father takes sick in the little Dixie town of Pome- roy. = Emily sends a letter to Harrison to bring him home because of his father’s serious condition; and for several weeks Harrison fails to put in appear: ance. ‘Thro’ an act of kindness, Harrison makes friends with Ralph McMahon an Trish lad; and the latter enables him to return home, when he receives the belated letter. Harrison returned to the west, an¢ after various vicissitudes, secured « position which promised success Bringing to the attention of his em. ployer, Mr. Lawson, an anonymous let ter—of damning~purport regarding himself—he learns that. his father ha once befriended the other; then he i appointed manager of the branch offic in Coldpeg, Prince Edward Isle. 4 visit to his old home town convince him that another had _ alienate Emily's affections; his return to Cold peg was followed by his enlistmen in the Canadian army for the duratior of the world war, A year afterwari Prof. Grandstone and Emily were in formed of Harrison’s death at th front, Time discloses that fact that Har rison is a convalescent patient in th hospital at Coldpeg, P. E. I, has los his memory from shell-shock, an thro’ error is known as Ralph MceMa hon. One day his nurse, Ethel Gear hardt, informed him that his fathe and mother were coming to see him Ethel’s sympathy for her patient soo blossomed into love, though the gir was a French heiress, “Sorry I don’t know you, Mr. Gray, said Harrison generously. “Don’t you remember the boys wit! For a moment Ethel was despon: dent. His father would make him re call everything, she reassured herself The test was interrupted when Western Union messenger came with a telegram for Harrison. After the latter read the message he spoke to Ethel. “Father says he will be at the La- zoort Hotel when he arrives; and to met him there in the lobby.” “[ will certainly be there,” was Ethel’s assuring statement. When the day came for Mr. Me- ‘Mahon's arrival, Ethel hadn’t appear- ‘ed; it was just three o'clock. The ap- pointment was set at three fifteen. “I expect father is late,” mused Harrison to himseilf. Then he noticed a well dressed gen- tleman enter the lobby and drop his bag at the desk. The man glanced casually around, registered, and lit a cigar. Directly he began to stare at Harrison; then the explosion occur- red. “Well, if it isn’t Harrison Clay!” ex- claimed the man in blank amazement. “[ thought you were dead!” Harrison frowningly arose to his feet, staggered and nearly collapsed back into his seat. To be sure he was Harrison Clay, he confessed to himself, as something snapped in his brain. ‘Why hadn’t he thought—why didn't he know that before? “{ recall everything, now!” he said aloud. “You're Mr. Lawson of Chica- go.” His face beamed joyfully, for he had gained full possession of his thinking facilities. After the two men expended their hearty handshaking, Harrison continued: “Tags were dislocated from many ‘of the wounded and dying in the war; ‘and some confusion resulted. T think that is how the mistake was made Ralph MeMahon was my chum. I don’t think he-ever came back.” Overhearing this statement as he entered the lobby, the older Mr. Mc- Mahon sank into a nearby seat, crush- ed and dejected. “Why this explanation?” inquired Mr. Lawson, puzzled. “Everybody has been calling me Ralph MeMahon. And, you have just mended a broken memory for me.” “Your interests in the Lawson Grain Market has grown to $250,000, Harri. son. Now you will manage-the New York branch.” Together they walkec to the desk, unaware of the anguishec heart within Mr. McMahon. Soon the two left the hotel together. Meanwhile Ethel had been detained; but arriving at the hotel late, she in- duced the clerk to page Mr. MeMahon Ethel found him a broken man in spir it; and from him she learned of Harri son’s restoration. She was glad an¢ hurt. Why hadn’t he waited for her’ Humiliated and crestfallen she re turned to her hotel. His apparent in. difference, midst his happy revelations deeply wounded her pride, ‘The whol wretehed evening passed without word from him.

After rewriting the letter several times she ‘suddenly destroyed it. No, she couldn’t do it! He would never un- derstand! Back at his hotel Harrison tried to calr2 himself and subdue the turmoil of memories which came unbidden when the connecting link to his exis- tence was suddenly restored, He made several attempts to write to Ethel, then decided to wait another day when, in more deliberation, he could declare his affection and tell her what was uppermost in his mind. Having made ‘this decision he abandoned himself to ‘the joy of fancifully re-living the past which fate had so rudely snatched away. Nature’s drowsy night finally overtook him—morning found him still dressed and slumbering soundly in a chair, just as he had sat marveling at the wonderful experiences of the ‘Past. Harrison finally awoke, bent upon seeing Ethel and telling her he was not Ralph McMahon—and other things. Purchasing a paper he saw where Ethel Gearhardt, the French heiress had given up her apartments and would sail for France. Bewil- dered, he went to her hotel; but got. no further information from the clerk ‘at the desk. Then a bystander, the French minister, told him that Ethel had suddenly become alive to the new. duties France demanded of her loyal sons and daughters; she was inspired to enter a life service for her native land. - “A noble example,” he murmured. ‘Then he hurried to the dock, “A most noble purpose!” he solilo- quized, as he beheld a huge liner in the distance, conscious that Ethel had re- vealed to him the hidden power. “I must stay here with my people,” he remarked to himself. “I've helped many worthy fellow creatures to bet- ter employment. After all, the greatest power is the ability to do good for others.” He was thinking of two days pre- vious when he had ample opportunity, as Gen. Mgr. of the Lawson Grain Market, to reorganize the force on a high standard of efficiency, by select- ing clerks who had ability and suf- ficient education for various duties. His tests were designed to secure the |best talent available, regardless of | race, creed or color. One day Mrs. Whiteomb’s son, the | net, applied for a position. Un- able to fill out his questionaire prop- |erly, he was refused work. For this | refusal he got together a committee | of colored people to expose Harrison |as a colored man sailing under false jcolors. The committee of three called upon the chief clerk of the establish- ment. While awaiting the presence of that dignitary they perceived that quite a number of colored people worked in various clerical positions. Then a realization came to them, Why knock a man who was doing so much good for worthy colored people? At the appearance of the chief clerk, they all requested questionaires and appli- cations for employment. From the dock Harrison slowly trudged back to the office. | Sometime later he learned that a young woman, superintendent and founder of an educational training school, was in Mr. Lawson's office seeking an endowment fund, | “P've heard many favorable com- ments regarding that institution,” Mr. Lawson was saying, when the lady emerged from the inner office. “It’s quite a task,” said the lady, “to arose public sentiment to the ne- cessity of such institutions which ma- terially aid the building of good char- acter, right living and good citizen- ship. It is also a tremendous job to overcome the degrading effects of two and a half centuries of oppression.” “I understand that perfectly,” sym- pathized Mr. Lawson. “My mother was a slave before ’61.” | If Harrison was astonished at his employer's words, he was dumbfounded by the sight of the caller!—Emily Tolson! “It’s wonderful to see you again!” he managed to say, following some speechless moments. Emily. nearly feleteds—for- she “Reason shows us that the proper Purpose of life is todo good; to honor God by blessing men, And the day ‘will come when all who have reason will think all things little, low and trifling but this. The fullest blessing of happiness is for him who makes the welfare of his fellowmen the great en- deavor of his life.” “Why have you never written?” Emily wanted to know. “{ was shell-shocked and lost my memory,” Harrison replied. “I now realize that memory is the one thing that makes life interesting; for it is the conscious connecting link of the transitional stages between the past and the present that has marked our personalities from the cradle up—a herald of our continued existence. I welcome back all sweet memories. Don’t you?” “Your presence recalls them all. I’m thankful you are happy,” mused Emily aloud. “But, I'm not,” blurted Harrison, “with—without—you.” Mr. Lawson and Prof. Grandstone discreetly withdrew, while pale shad- ows threw sunset’s golden streamers upon the pair who thought of rain- bows, shy kisses and blissful rest. 8 wah “Y” ENTERTAINED LARGE NUM- BER OF MASONS ‘The “Y’ was an exceedingly busy place during the week of August 6th to 12th.

How in the crisis she turned her biggest weakness into her greatest strength makes a picture you won't forget for many a day. "Adventures of Robinson Crusoe" With HARRY MYERS and NOBLE JOHNSON Although Rodolph Valentino, the handsome young actor who is appearing with Mae Murray in her starring vehicle "The Delicious Little Devil" at the Dunbar Theatre, was born in Taranto, he seldom displays that fiery A. RODOLPH VALENTINO temper which is accepted as characteristic of the Italian race. But there is one sure way to rouse his ire, and that is by spelling his first name Rudolph instead of Rodolph. Valentino is the son of a captain in the Italian army and he was himself attached to the Italian Flying Corps, conducting experiments in hazardous air stunts at Mineola and he naturally dislikes the Teutonic spelling of his given name. NEXT WEEK AT THE LINCOLN Next week will find three feature photo productions at the Lincoln Theatre, presetting such well-known stars as Jack Holt, Agnes Ayers, Bebe Daniels and Richard Barthelmess. Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, William De Mille's latest celebrated Paramount production, "Bought and Paid For," featuring Jack Holt and Agnes Ayers, will be the attraction. This strong vital picture drama is perhaps the author's best effort and is unsurpassed for entertainment value. Jack Holt was considered at his best in "The Call of the North"; but in this latest triumph he reaches the high water mark of his genius and Agnes Ayers is that same strong star that captivated American movie fans in "The Sheik." Wednesday and Thursday will find Richard Barthelmel starring in "Sonny," a high class First National production. Richard Bartelmel is that rapidly rising screen star who pleases in every effort. Bebe Daniels will be seen in "North of the Rio Grande," on Friday and Saturday.

CYPRIANS WIN Deanwood and Peerless, Victims Two games were staged at Union League Park, Sunday afternoon; the initial encounter resulting in a 11 to 9 victory for the St. Cyprians over the Peerless, a white aggregation, and the nightcap going to the LeDroit Tigers at Deanwood's expense, 5 to 4. Poor pitching on both sides marred the first game. Southpaw "Fox" Barnes, the Saint's mainstay, was wild and ineffective and gave away to Slade in the seventh, who held his opponents in check. Gordon's timely clouting and Bowldwings homer over the right field fence, featured. Adams had little trouble defeating Deanwood in the second game, an eight inning affair. In the final inning he was touched up for 4 hits and 3 runs but with the tieing run on second, he pulled himself together and fanned Ford. The Tigers bunched their hits off Green.

Read this letter showing the value of an investment in a Tribune Advertisement and then judge for yourself. Why Not Benefit by the Experience of others and let The Tribune Build Up Your Business? From the CYNIC'S Notebook Every now and then The Cynic comes across an article or a speech most often the latter—in which the Constitution of the United States is given credit for the assertion that "all men are born free and equal." This is of course an error. The assertion—so far as American public documents are concerned—originated in the Declaration of Independence, which, as every school boy knows, was penned and adopted in 1776, in the midst of a mighty struggle, about a dozen years before the Constitution was formulated. The assertion referred to is found in the second paragraph of the Declaration, which reads in part as follows: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Now it will be noted that the assertion not only receives a wrong attribution, but also, the words are usually erroneously quoted. Instead of the word "born," the Declaration uses the word "created," and it does not use the word "free" at all. However, the misquotation is not important, but the erroneous attribution of this statement of high principles to the Constitution IS important; for, as a matter of fact the original Constitution, so far from asserting the inherent equality of men and their right to liberty, plainly recognized, and in effect justified, slavery. There is no declaration of principles in the Constitution. The preamble, where, if anywhere, principles would be expressed, reads as follows: "We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. SATURDAY. AUGUST 26, 1922 I note that the greatest returns from my advertising in The Tribune; come from Motorists of wide experience who can appreciate quality. It is apparently a newspaper of the man who thinks for himself. I have in my shop eight experinced mechanies, but I am compelled to put on extra men to take care of the rush of work that follows my add in your valuable paper. Further, I cannot help but comment upon the service and position that you usually accord me. It is indeed a source of gratification to have such a splendid co-operating,pulling advertising medium in this City. liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." It is very evident that the word "people" did not include all of the human beings in the country; not even all those "of the age of accountability." Seemingly, the "ourselves" whose liberty was to be secured, were those already free. Not only did the Constitution "recognize" slavery, it actually forbade the Congress from interfering with the further importation of slaves—for thirty years—and hence by implication forbade any interference with the institution at all for at least one generation. One of the curious things connected with the matter is the evident difficulty the framers of the Constitution found themselves in when referring to slaves; for, under the circumstances, they could not bring themselves to put the word "slave" in the Constitution. For example, Section 9 of Article I says: "The migration or importation of such persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit shall not be prohibited," etc. This is not a reference to ordinary immigration, as might be supposed, but refers to slaves. In another place the Constitution states that the members of the House of Representatives shall be apportioned among the States "according to their respective numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole number of free Persons, including those bound to service for a term of years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three-fifths of all other persons." The words "other persons" could have referred to nothing but slaves, and actually did so refer, yet the "fathers" evaded the use of the term. "A decent respect to the opinions of mankind" (quoting the Declaration of Independence) prevented them from using the word "slave" in their fundamental law, in the face of the aroused public opinion of the world prevailing at that time: yet, they did not, as the foreign world no doubt expected they would, "Proclaim Freedom throughout all the land and to all the inhabitants thereof." On the contrary they not only permitted those who held slaves to continue to hold them, but permitted them to import fresh ones. Thus it may be seen that the principles that were so strongly and admirably stated in the "immortal De- BINESS MAN plain of "No Business" when The Tribune can s heels turning? ter showing the value of an i advertisement and then judge f ROBERT H.

It is almost a certainty that not one of these men would have volunteered his services had he not believed that America would be true to the noble principles which were the very basis and inspiration of the Declaration through which she had appealed to the world, which was at the time stirred, as perhaps never before or since, by the writings of such men as Voltaire and Rousseau in France and Thomas Paine in America. But—as had happened often before and has happened since; indeed, has happened very recently—after the high-sounding Declaration and appeal had aroused and inspired the high principled at home and abroad, and had brought the help so vital to the cause; after the cry "Liberty and Equality" had done its work and the cause had been won—when the time came to carry into practical effect the principles so loudly proclaimed during the stress and struggle, there came the usual worming and squirming, thimble-rigging and evading. So, after twelve years of this backsliding, practically the same body of men which had signed the Declaration based on "the self-evident truth" that "all men are created equal," brought forth a Constitution to which the people almost immediately proceeded to attach ten amendments and have since added nine (an average of one every seven years), nearly all looking in the direction of greater liberty and equality—the principles on which the makers of the Constitution turned their backs, albeit shamefacedly. No; the assertion that "all men are born free and equal" is not in our Constitution, and what there is in it of liberty and equality has been put there by more than a century of agitation, struggle, martyrdom and bloody civil war. Let it be clearly understood that the Constitution is not an allocation from the Almighty, but is a working scheme of government, devised and agreed upon after much discussion, compromise and evasion, by men—a body of men, the majority of whom were on the whole not any wiser nor much higher principled than the men who gather in and arund our Capitol—and Wall Street—now.

WHY WE SHOULD BE PROUD OF OUR RACE (FIRST PRIZE ESSAY) Some of us seem to be ashamed of our race. This is due to the fact that the great progress of the black race is not realized by all of our people. We should be proud of our race instead of being ashamed of it. Our men have accomplished great things. We should be proud to say that Crispus Attucks was the first man to die for American independence. He was a colored hero. The colored man has been a great inventor for sometime. Not only during these late years has he shown talent of invention. On April 1, 1887, the American Catholic Tribune contained the following: "Mr. Woods, who is the greatest electrician in the world, still continues to add to his long list of inventions. The latest device he invented is the Synchronous Multiplex Railway Telegraph." This Mr. G. T. Woods of Cincinnati is a man of color also. There have been great race men other than heroes and inventors that we should be proud of. We want to show that we are proud of our race by aiding in working for its cause so that every man under the sun can recite this little verse (written by J. Mitchell) without hesitation. "His life is gentle; and the elements so mixed in him that nature might stand up and say to all the world, 'This is a man.'" For the sake of the people who have endeavored to uplift our race, we should be proud enough to continue their works. CORNELIA JACKSON (Age 15) (Editor's Note: There is a worth while sermon in this last paragraph.) WHY WE SHOULD BE PROUD OF OUR RACE We should be proud of our race because it is striving hard to reach the highest and best. We should be so proud of our race that in some way we help to improve it. If we are proud of our race we should never use the word "nigger." To be proud of our race we will have to treat each girl or boy as a brother or sister and when a child is dark we should never make fun of it, but should be proud to have it for a friend. When we come across a child whose actions we do not like we should correct it if it is wrong, and if we can't correct it we should at least show good manners all the time. We should be proud of our race because it is the Dark Race and we have many obstacles in our path but we should try to overcome every one. We should be proud of our race because we have so many smart people in it such as: Judge Terrell, Prof. Kelly Miller, Rev. Atkin Hill and many others. We should be proud of our race because it is improving and growing every day. We now have several newspapers of note: The Washington Tribune, The Eagle, The Chicago Defender and The Washington Sentinel. We also have a very worthwhile magazine known as the "Crisis." We should be proud of our race because it has so many men and women who set fine examples for us. We have Miss Slowe who is now Dean of Women at Howard University and there are many others. We should also be proud of our race above all other things because it has places of worship where we can become Christians and get in touch with God. Therefore we have many reasons "Why We Should be Proud of Our Race." THELMA E. LANE (Age 11) NIGGER! NIGGER! NIGGER! Customs and habits are hard things to change. Many Negroes are in the habit of using the word "nigger." This is not confined entirely to that class of Negroes we are so apt to call rowdy. Right in the homes of the better class, in our stores, doctors' offices, church fairs, publishing houses, newspaper offices, church meetings, everywhere, comes the one word which harms us most, the word "nigger." Recently at a ball game a Negro told a tale in which he used the word about five times a minute. Many white men were near and this man just raved and raved and raved. Another Negro standing near nudged me and whispered, "Watch me get a cursing out." He then turned to the loud mouth Negro and said, "Everytime you say 'nigger' you are hurting over 12,000,000 Negroes." We will not print what the retort was. At another time the writer was in a building where three white students were receiving the service of the firm in whose building this incident took place. After awhile the girl in the office came out and yelled "Some niggers make me tired." The students nudged each other and I'm sure the favorable impression they had for the firm was marred, if not ruined, just because a thoughtless girl gave play to a thoughtless habit. It is often heard on ball fields but may we soon lose the habit in those places where our most representative people are supposed to be found. When you hear the word used at home, work, play, school, or church, ask the user what is meant by the word "nigger." At times just a gentle hint can accomplish good. Perhaps in ten years' time Washington will have the distinction of having it said that "Washington is one city in which not a Negro uses the word 'nigger.'" Let us lead.

No feminine writer of poetry has approached the heights of this lovable English woman, yet the reading of Mrs. Johnson's poems connects the reader's mind, at once, with the poems of this peer of poetesses. These little literary diamonds, rubies and pearls are the outpourings of a woman's heart—passionate, strong, mellow, plaintive themes of love, sacrifice, loneliness and expectations. Only a woman can portray the secrets of a woman's heart—only a Negro woman can paint the wordpictures in their true colors, or sing the word songs in their true tones. "Tis her heart—and her heart only that "... goes forth wiht hte dawn. . . And tries to forget it has dreamed of the stars While it breaks, breaks, breaks on the sheltering bars." All hail! Georgia Douglass Johnson. This gem is from Mrs. Johnson's book, "The Heart of a oWman." PEACE I rest me deep within the wood, Drawn by its silent call, Far from the throbbing crowd of men On nature's breast I fall.

Oft in the stillly night, Alone by my hearth-fire bright, I sit and review the scenes Of days that once have been And always my mind incloses Past kisses and roses. The state of Georgia was one time the owner of a slave. Ransom Montgomery was purchased outright by the State through an act of the legislature of 1849 for having saved the Western and Atlantic Railroad bridge over the Chattahoochee River from destruction by fire. He was later placed on a salary under the supervision of the principal engineer of the road. After the Civil War, being a free man, he was paid from the treasury of the road $562.50 and provided with a home the rest of his life, these acts being granted by the general assembly and approved August 3, 1868.

By The Way We welcome the National Medical Association first fot itself and second- ly for what it représents. The spec- tacle of a body of some four hundred Negro professional men assembled in furtherance of scientific ktiowledge at a time when slavery is still a personal memory to the parents of some of the very men assembled is one more con» yineing proof of the length of the road we have traveled since emancipation. The history of a race may in one way be checked by noting the standing of its professional men. In the pion- éer days each man is a law unto him- self. The first professional man to appear is the minister of religion; then comes the physician; the lawyer, architect, engineer and the others come at a later date when the race has accumulated wealth and has become self conscious and assertive. Our own history shows this sequence. During slavery and immediately following emancipation the minister was theonly professional man we had. The doc- tor came into his own in the latter part of the last century. Today the Negro lawyer is just beginning to de- velop away from a largely criminal N. M. A. Ladies Enjoy Brilliant Social Affairs One of the most brilliant social ‘functions in the history of Washing- ton was the “At Home” given by the Ladies Auxiliary at the palatial resi- dence of Mrs. P. W. Price, at 1224 Maryland Ave., N.E., Wednesday from 3 to 7 for the visiting ladies to the National Medical Association. The house was beautifully decorated with cut flowers and ferns. The color scheme of pink was carried through- out the house as well as the garden. A very toothsome iuncheon was served in the garden. About five hundred la- dies were present. Mrs. Dr. Board managed the affair, assisted by Mrs. Dr. Creed W. Childs. Those in the receiving line were: Madams, W. L. Board, M. A. Francis, Wm. H. Howard, Chas. Wilder, U. J. Daniels, Wm. A. Warfield, Geo. W. Cabaniss, F. D, Whitby, Alphonso Burwell, Robert Wilson, Creed W. Childs. A most delightful time was had at the “Card Party” given at the Lincolfi Colonnade by the Ladies Auxiliary for the visiting ladies, Thursday afternoon from one to four. About three hun- dred were present. The color scheme was yellow. A very enjoyable time awas had by all. On Sunday August 20th, Mr. and Mrs. George Redd of Brentwood, Md., motored to Great Mills, St. Mary’s County, Md., and spent the day at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Burrell, the brother of Mrs. Redd. They were accompanied by Mr.-and Mrs. Freder- ick Herndon and Miss Ida B. Redd, all of Washington. A very pleasant outing was given at the National Zoological Park last ‘Sunday. A party composed of Miss Murray B .Atkins and Dora Omar Atkins of Indianapolis, Ind, Miss Alice Mae Hershaw, Mrs. Corrine A. Williams Mr. and Mrs. William O. Walker, Mr. Norman McGhee, Mr. Lawrence R. Carroll and Mrs. Charles H. Dow- ning, enjoyed avery delightful picnic at the Natiohal Zoological Park last Sunday. A choice selection of eats was in abundance to the delight of all. We are surprised at Garvey, for he has held out for Negro leadership. We would think he would be the last per- son in the world to fall in behind the white leadership of the South, particu- larly that of the Klan. Doubtless the Klan has-found its income cut off considerably and has decided to make the Negro pay for his Own execution, thru the leadersiaip of the visionary Garvey. practice to a civil practice. The Ne- gro architect is managing to eke out a precarious livelihood. But we do not seem far enough advanced yet to sup- port a body of trained engineers, It ‘takes time. i ‘The present status of the Negro physician is another miscarriage -of prejudice, In the early days follow- ing the Civil War, Negroes were una- ble to pay the professional charges of the competent white physician; their houses were uninviting and usually on the other side of the town from the white doctors’ usual practice; the sani- tary conditions in their homes were not favorable to the best professional results. The consequence was that the white physician was only too glad to pass on the Negro patients in a sort of backdoor fashion to the Negro phy- sician, Now the situation has changed, Negroes in ever growing numbers are becoming able to pay an adequate ‘compensation for any professional ser- vices rendered; the Negro physician has the confidence of his own people and is tirelessly developing his-labora- tories, clinies and hospitals to a point where he ean handle any situation which presents itself. The old days when a Negro went to a Negro physi- cian for a toothache, but to a white physician for an operation, has—thank heaven—gone. And to cap the climax, ‘most Negro physicians, even in the ‘South, have a loyal, tho small, white following. It is an ill wind that blows nobody good.

BUSINESS LEAGUE REELECTS MOTON (By the Associated Negro Press) Norfolk, Va., Aug—Dr. Moton re- elected President, $5,000 raised for the setting out of a constructive program, a decision to hold a Silver Jubilee in the city of Chicago in 1924 and the se- lection of an Executive Secretary to travel and make surveys of business conditions among colored people thru- out the country are among the more pronounced accomplishments of the Business League which has just closed its annual convention in this city. The one sensation of the convention was the losing fight that Fred R. Moore, Editor of the New York Age made to get control of the preliminary organi- zation. Editor Moore wanted Chief Ranger Webb of the Woodmen for temporary chairman but the younger group elected C. C. Spaulding of Dur- ham, N. C., to that position. Rumors of the New York editor having eyes on the presidency of the organization were in the air but they could not be verified. | DR. SCOTT (Continued from page 1) No such affair took place so far as I am concerned and your staff repre- sentative, Mr. White, must have known that no such “Knighthood” was conferred upon me if he were present at the exercises he sought to describe. What the motive of this misrepre- sentation is, I do not at this moment undertake to characterize. I only know that a false and misleading story has been chronicled so far as I am per- sonally concerned. Mr. Garvey was informed by me in response to his Jet- jter that I would not be present at his exercises to receive one of his titles or decorations, and I was not-present a8 I advised him I would not be.

Dr. H. S. Cummings, the Surgeon General of the U. 8. P. H. S. and his assistant, Dr. C. C. Pierce and Dr W. C. Fowler made addresses. Dr. C Y. Roman, of Nashville, Tenn., made an excellent response. Dr. U. G. Dan- iels, of the local committee, presided at the Tuesday night meeting. ‘The Wednesday night program was scheduled as a public health meeting, under the direction of Dr. Roscoe C. Brown, of the U. S. Publié Health (Service. Dr. A. B.
