Washington Tribune

The Washington Tribune NEW TRIBUNE FEATURE BEGINS WITH THIS ISSUE Editor's Note: Beginning with this issue of the Tribune there will appear from week to week a feature article touching on some vital question of interest to our people, contributed by a special correspondent who will write under the heading "On The Horizon." The writer of this column requests all persons who may desire to comment on the articles to address themselves to "On The Horizon," Care Tribune. "ON THE HORIZON" The Negro Architect, Contractor and Builder This time, the beginning of the school season when the doors of our high schools and colleges are being thrown open to our young men and women, affords a good opportunity for us as a group to stop and think of what future, if any, there is in store for those of our youth who are entering school to prepare themselves for a life's career. Indeed it is high time that our people should be given some plain talk, and while we as a group are inclined to boast of the progress we have made, we should not overlook the present trend of events, which, if not checked, will dwarf our present growth and absolutely stop our future advancement along business and commercial lines. In the past our most intellectual and ambitious young men entered school aspiring to become teachers, doctors or lawyers. These fields have been gradually filled (and overfilled) forcing our youth to train themselves along the lines of business and commerce. The young men are now entering the colleges all over this land taking courses in business, banking, architecture, building and civil engineering, journalism and many other lines—rare ventures among our people a generation ago. Some of the men who have qualified in these various lines are now out in the world seeking success—a success which must come very largely from our group's support. Just as our group has given its support to the physicians, dentists, druggists and lawyers, our group must give its support to this new class of our men who have qualified in business and commercial lines. Among this group are our architects and builders. The work of our men in architecture and building is by far the most lasting monument to our ability that we can construct. In Washington, as well as throughout the South, we have these monuments to our ability and our enterprise. We proudly point to the Whitelaw Hotel, the Industrial Savings Bank, the Murray Casino, and the Southern Aid Building as buildings not only owned by our people but buildings designed by our architects and built by our mechanics. The proposed Prudential Bank building to be located on Florida Avenue, near 8th; the National Mutual Association building, now under construction at the corner of 11th and U Streets; and the proposed five-story apartment house by Mr. Ware, of Ware's department store, to be erected at the corner of 13th and Florida Avenue, were all designed by our architects and are to be built by our contractors and builders. It is to be regretted, however, that the proposed Masonic Temple to be erected at the corner of 10th and U Streets., which is the largest building enterprise our people in Washington have ever undertaken, was not given to one of our architects either in Washington or out of Washington. Sometimes the excuse is given for not giving our men the opportunity as architects, that the white architect can use some kind of "influence" in the placing of the loan for the construction of the building. Of course this he cannot do any better than our men can, for the reason that all loans are made on the security and not on the color of the face or on "influence." It is understod that the architect for the Masonic Temple has already received an amount over $10,000. There can certainly be no claim of superiority for the architect, for already it has developed that the bottom of the basement of the building is far below the sewer; making it perhaps necessary to expend about $10,000 to overcome this difficulty. It is however, too late now to undo what has already been done, and these facts are pointed out not so much to criticize as to guide in the future progress of the building. The Masonic Hall Association board of directors should see to it that colored contractors and builders construct this temple, and we are confident they will. The Masonic craft includes architects, brick layers, carpenters, plasterers, painters, steel workers, plumbers, etc. These men would feel a sense of pride if they could have a hand in the making of this Temple—a pride that would go down to their children and their children's children, to spur them on to greater achievements. On the other hand, what a sense of humiliation these men will feel to walk by this building under construction and see mechanics of another group, who disbar them from their unions and organizations, erecting a building which they could build and which they are asked to pay for. The entire Craft should rally behind the board and see to it that no further time be lost in the erection of this Temple which will not only be a credit to the craft but a credit to our race. It has also been learned that there is a movement on foot to erect a new church edifice on the site of the Lincoln Congregational Church, at 11th and R Streets, N. W. Upon inquiry it has been All the News That's Fit to Print Vol. 2, No. 20 Published Weekly WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1922 Champion Mail Sorter of the World THE WEEKLY PRESS Miss Cargill is employed as a mail sorter at the Varick St., Branch Office, New York City. In a recent contest, she assorted 30,214 pieces of mail in eight hours, or 63 pieces a minute. Miss Cargill is 26 years old, and has been in the Postal service since 1919. She lives in Roselle Park, N. J. SIXTY SEVENTH CONGRESS WITH REPUBLICAN MAJORITY SHOWS A DISMAL FAILURE DYER BILL SLEEPS WHILE RACE VOTES Republican Leaders Disregard All Promises Made The fate of the Dyer Bill is apparently sealed. The second session of the 67th Congress adjourned Friday the 22nd without the Senate even considering it seriously. The friends of the bill concede that it is lost for there will not be time for its consideration at the next session of Congress. The last session of the 67th Congress is due to meet December 5th. There are just 89 days from then to March 3rd, 1923, when the 67th Congress must adjourn. There are 12 Sundays and 11 holidays, for the Senate during that period; therefore, there will be only 66 legislative days for the last session of the 67th Congress. The appropriation, supply, military and other supposed important legislation will occupy every one of those 66 days so apparently there will be no opportunity for the Dyer bill. James Weldon Johnson and the friends of the Dyer bill lost their opportunity on September 5, when the bill came up on the Senate calendar and not a single person there to put it thru the mill. Johnson, the Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. was not in the city, Lodge, was in Massachusetts and the rest of the supposed friends of the bill might have been in Alaska, for the service they failed to render, when Senator Fletcher of Florida, simply asked that the bill be laid over for another day. Congressman L. C. Dyer, of St. Louis, Mo., representing a district distinctly colored was up against it for a return this fall, to his seat in the House. Unrest was spreading among the Negroes of his district, (Continued on page 8) Many Important Bills for the Negro's Benefit Abandoned to Die "Any man can throw a bill into the hopper (but it takes a wise man to put it thru the mill," was demonstrated in the 67th Congress, which adjourned last Friday. There were 13,711 bills introduced in the House, since the 67th Congress begun in April 1921. Of this number only 1087 were passed. Of the 13,711 bills introduced, there are about 22 that effect the colored people of this country, Haiti and Liberia. Nineteen of them refer to the colored people of the United States, not a single one was passed. The first and best known one is H. R. 13., introduced by Congressman Dyer, of Missouri, April 11th 1921. This has been exploited as "The Dyer anti-lynching bill." It is now sleeping, as the 67th Congress adjourned Friday the 22nd. On April 11th, 1921, Congressman Barbour of California, introduced H. R. 146, "For the apportionment of Representatives in Congress amongst the several states under the Fourteenth Census." It was referred to the Committee on the Census where it is now sleeping. On April 13th, 1921, Congressman Dallinger, of Massachusetts, introduced H. R. 2,881, "To protect citizens of the United States against lynching in default of protection by the States." This bill was referred to the Judiciary Committee and there it was pigeon-holed. Congressman Layton, from Delaware, introduced H. R. 2,895 on April 13, 1921, "To creat a Negro Industrial Commission." This was a very commendable bill and should have been pushed by some of the Negro organizations purporting to represent the common people. But Congressman Layton did not have to cater to the colored vote of Delaware and therefore, there was no politics to be played with this bill and the N. A. A. C. P., and the rest of them let it pass unheralded and it was referred to the Judiciary Committee where it will evidently meet its demise. This bill provided for an Industrial Commiss- (Continued on page 8) FORMER MESSENGER TO LINCOLN DIES AFTER 58 YEARS IN GOVERNMENT SERVICE FORMER MESSE COLN DIES AF IN GOVERN UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT MADE TO ROB STORE Quick Action on Part of the Proprietor Saves Possible Loss Another attempt was made to break into the Imperial Commercial Clothing Co.'s store at 1214 U St., N.W., last Monday morning about five o'clock. The man making the attempt was unsuccessful; and he came very near losing his life. Manager Harris of the Imperial Co., who was on guard that night, heard the man as he attempted to climb up on the knob of the front door. He immediately siezed his gun and made ready. The burgular climbed up to the top of the window, and then opened the transom and just as he made an effort to get in, Mr. Harris fired at him, but evidently failed to strike the intruder. The man jumped down and made his get away before Mr. Harris could reach the door and open it. No trace of him has been found since. As this store has been robbed several times, someone is always kept on guard there and this was the first time an attempt has been made since the place has been guarded. HOWARD TO OPEN LAW SCHOOL ON HILL The opening exercises of the School of Law of Howard University will be held in Library Hall on the campus of the university, Monday evening, October 2nd, at 6:30 o'clock. Due to railroad strikes, the tie-up of transportation generally and other unfavorable conditions, the contractors have been compelled to notify Dr. Scott, Secretary-Treasurer, that they will be unable to complete the alterations and repairs to the School of Law building at 420 Fifth Street in time for opening, but that within a month the extensive remodelling which has been going on will be finished. In the meantime the Law School classes will meet on the University campus, for which purpose three rooms in the Main Building have been allotted for recitations, while the Moot Court will have ideal accommodations in Library Hall. According to Secretary Waters of the School of Law, enrollment this year promises to equal the largest in the history of the school and this too, in spite of the fact that the admission requirements are higher than ever before. Parents League to Elect Officers. The election of officers will be the principal topic before the Parents' League, which will meet in regular session at Bethel Baptist Church, 9th and S Sts., N. W., Monday night, October 2nd at S p. m. Mrs. F. S. Tanner, will retire from the presidency owing to the fact that her husband, Reverend Tanner, has been called to Chicago and will make it necessary for her to leave the city. Mrs. Tanner has been connected with the Parents' League since its organization and has been one of its hardest workers. All officers for the ensuing year will be elected. SCHOOL REGISTRATION CONTIUES UPWARD The enrollment in the public schools up to Wednesday night totals 20,124 pupils in the colored schools of the District. This is 1,107 more than was reported on Wednesday of last week. On this day last year 19,787 were reported which gives an increase of 337 over this date last year.

Dupee, a messenger in the office of the Chief Signal Officer of the Army, and a veteran in the Government service, died at his late residence, 1236 19th St., N. W., last Wednesday, September 18th. Mr. Dupee came to Washington with Henry Clay from Kentucky, in 1846. In 1863 he entered the War Department as a messenger to Mr. Stanton, Secretary of War during President Lincoln's administration. He also served as messenger to President Lincoln. Mr. Dupee, served every Secretary of War from Mr. Stanton down to Mr. Taft, as well as the commanding general of the army. When this office ceased to exist, he was transferred to the Signal Corps and served under the following named Chief Signal Officers: Major General A. W. Greeley, Brigadier General Jammes Allen, Brigadier General George P. Scriven. He was also in the service of Major General George O. Squier, now Chief Signal Officer of the army. Among Mr. Dupee's valuable possessions were letters testifying to his integrity and faithful service from Generals Grant, Sherman, Schofield and many others. Mr. Dupee served fifty-eight years and ten months continuously in the service of the War Department, thus making him the oldest employee in the Government service. At his death, Mr. Dupee owned his beautiful home on 19th St., N.W. and also a lot and monument to the memory of his family and himself at Harmony Cemetery, where he was buried SIKI WINS WORLD'S LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP Supplants Carpentier as French Idol Almost over night another black fighter has entered the pugilistic hall of fame. Before 43,000 spectators at Paris last Sunday, Battling Siki, a French Senegalese, born in West Africa, and recipient of two medals for bravery under fire in the World's War, knocked out Georges Carpentier in the sixth round of a scheduled 20-round bout for the heavyweight championship of Europe and the light. heavyweight championship of the world. So badly was Carpentier battered that it was over three hours after the fight before he regained consciousness. A doctor's report stated his jaw and two fingers were broken, a wrist dislocated and an ankle sprained. A premature decision in the final round by the referee nearly resulted in a riot. Carpentier, hardly able to stand up, rushed blindly at Siki and when the latter met the rush Carpentier went down. The referee did not start a count and Georges lay stretched on the canvas fully 20 seconds before his seconds carried him to his corner. The referee announced that Siki had tripped Carpentier and gave the latter three minutes to recuperate. At the expiration of this period he was unable to continue. The referee then declared Carpentier, the winner. His decision did not meet with the crowd's approval and police protection was necessary for him. The three ring judges then came on the scene and, after almost an hour's deliberation, announced that the referee decided without consulting them. They declared that his decision in favor of Carpentier was null and void; and gave the victory to Siki; Carpentier being considered as having abandoned the combat. Siki was then hailed as a new national hero and was carried to his dressing room upon the shoulders of his worshipers.

He's ready to quit Nora and go back to the Widow when he finds he's to become a father. Desperate with anxiety for his coming child, he engages in a safe-blowing exploit in which he gets shot. Under ether he feels himself in Paradise before God's Court. His wife's prayers have won him another chance to make good as a man. And through prayer comes redemption. "A Trip to Paradise" is a Maxwell Karger production, with scenario by June Mathis. It was the combination of Mr. Lytell, Mr. Karger and Miss Mathis that made so successful last year's production of Sir Gilbert Parker's "The Right of Way." They are said to have surpassed themselves in "A Trip to Paradise." Virginia Valli will be seen as Nora O'Brien, the girl that Curley marries; Unice Vin Moore is cast as the Widow Boland, Brinsley Shaw as a criminal friend of Curley's and Victory Bateman as Nora's nagging aunt. The photography is by Arthur Martinelli and the art direction by Julian Garnsey.

It is an Americanized version by Benjamin F. Glazer of a Hungarian drama by Franz Molnar that created a sensation on the Continent. The locale has been changed to Coney Island. But Paradise—being internationalized—remains the same. The picture version was received with enthusiastic comment by reviewers of its pre-release showing. The star, Mr. Lytell, is said to have achieved the most moving characterization of his career. He appears as Curley Flynn, a Coney Island barker, working at the Widow Boland's roller-coaster. Curley is an artist in his line and jazzily content until Nora O'Brien appears on the scene. Nora fills Curley with aspirations that soar far beyond the limitations of his job.

ECONOMY SALE $7.50 customed to seeing her in gorgeous evening gowns, when she makes her appearance as a Jamacian girl in "Love's Redemption," the powerful story which is being released as a First National attraction. The picture has been booked for a week's run at the Dunbairn Theatre commencing Monday. With memories of such successes as the "Sign on the Door" and "The Passion Flower" behind her, the popular star brings to the screen an entirely new characterization. As Ginger, the girl of the West Indies, she portrays a role that wins sympathy by its full sentiment, its keen wit and action and its charming simplicity. Harrison Ford has the leading male role and gives a capable performance of an exiled English youth who is rapidly squandering his opportunities. Montagu Love has a "heavy" part in which he becomes an accomplished villian. Cooper Cliffe finds a new outlet for his histrionic ability in the role of the elder and stilted English brother. He was previously seen in "Half an Hour" and in "The Devil's Garden," a First National release. Ida Waterman, who has the role of Standish's mother, is a screen actress famous for her splendid character parts. Michael M. Barnes, E. Fernan- James M. Miller, Mgr. ECONOMY SALE $7.50 dez and Fraser Coulter handle minor roles in a capable manner. The picture was adapted by Anthony Paul Kelly from Andrew Soutar's novel, "On Principle," and directed by Albert Parker. TWO BIG SENSATIONS IN "Love Never Dies," the King Vidor production released by Associated First National Pictures, Inc., finds its motive in the harmful effects of village gossip which causes the separation of boy-husband and girl-wife. Determined to obliterate himself, Lloyd Hughes, as John Trott takes advantage of a wreck in which an express is swept from a trestle into the river, to give out the report of his death. Throughout the unwinding years however, the subconscious realization of their love for each other, comes slowly to the surface and at the proper moment reasserts itself in a smashing climax that involves an escape from death on the brink of a waterfall. As an amateur swimmer, Lloyd Hughes has made an enviable reputation and it is this prowess that made it possible for him to take the part he does in this picture. The final climax to be realistic, calls for an actor of such athletic ability because the scenes had to be taken in a swirling cataract. The picture was made from Will Harben's novel "The Cottage of Delight." It will be at the Dunbar Theatre, Wednesday, Thursday, Oct. 4th and 5th. AT THE LINCOLN Beginning Sunday, October 1st and continuing three days the attraction presented at the Lincoln Theater will be Mack Sennett's Comedy Drama "THE CROSSROADS OF NEW YORK." In this most entertaining six reel Sennett Production one is able to get a comprehensive view of the great metropolis. Right Side, Night Side, Bright Side and Fright Side, in its portrayal of the activities of a country lad with three city ladies. This Sennett special carries a human theme of every-day life. Starting Wednesday for a two-day run will be one of Paramount's best in "OUR LEADING CITIZEN" with Thomas Meighan in the title role. This most interesting story was written especially for the star by George Ade, America's foremost humorist. Last but not least closing the week with a Friday and Saturday run, Agnes Ayres in "BORDERLAND" will be presented. This production is of a unique character in that it portrays this most popular screen star in a triple role. The story which was written by Beulah Maria Dix, tells of a discontented wife warned against a mistake by the spirit of an 1850 ancestor who had suffered from a similar error. A comparison of the rich gowns of 1850 and 1922, worn by the star will prove quite entertaining for the feminine patrons of this theater.

Notes On Monday night, October 2nd, the fall work will begin at the meeting of the Board of Directors, and the fall program will be started in all departments of the Y. W. C. A. Miss Charlotte Atwood will be the speaker at the Booklovers' Hour on Tuesday evening, Oct. 3rd at 8 p.m. on the subject "Jesus Christ and the World Today." Miss King, industrial Secretary, has returned from Canada. The Industrial Clubs will have a club supper on Tuesday evening followed by a Students' Corner SOME PROBLEMS of MUSIC PUPILS ANSWERED Interpretation. Study the song picture of the piece you play, first of all getting it clearly defined in your mind. Every worthy composition expresses an idea with side lights and variations. Learn to realize this idea then you will express it. Study and observe the various details of the composition, its melody, harmony and rhythm, first each by it, self, and then combine these elements so at to produce an artistic whole. How to Harmonize A composition should be memorized in a variety of ways if it is to be perfectly memorized. It is possible to memorize merely by the sound; the pupil hears, the composition, and plays it practically by ear. This ability in combination with the habit of playing it frequently, will enable the pupil to play the composition without looking at the notes. Then again pupils can memorize the composition by observing the keyboard; they can remember the position of the fingers, and the fingering used for different passages. By concentrating their minds on this practice they can learn to play a composition from memory, or without looking at the notes. A better way is to learn the notes of the harmonic progressions of the composition. Form the habit of looking at the signature the very first thing when you begin to study a composition. Then observe the different modulations and progressions through a variety of keys. By the aid of work of this kind you will soon be able to picture the notes of the entire composition as actually before your mind. This, you can readily understand, is the best method; but in order to be perfectly sure of a composition, it is well to practice all three methods. Then, if memory fails in one respect, the pupil has at least one or two other resources. Never make the mistake of trying to memorize the entire composition at one time. Begin with one or two measures and memorize these thoroughly. Then add two or more, and review the group of four. Then, again take the next two or four, and memorize them. After a composition has been memorized little by little, in this manner, the work of memorizing will have been done thoroughly and the pupil should not have any hesitancy in playing the entire composition from memory. This subject is rarely understood. Most compositions are incorrectly marked, and this leads to confusion. Customarily pupils press down the pedal at the same instant they strike a heavy chord in the piano. This sets into vibration too many of the wires, and the result is noisy and boisterous. Furthermore, some of the tones in the previous chord are, in this way, liable to be retained, and this produces discord. LEARN TO RAISE THE PEDAL WHEN YOU STRIKE A NEW CHORD, AND PRESS THE PEDAL DOWN IMEDIATELY AFTER THE CHORD IS STRUCK. If this rule is followed in a general way, you will find that you will get much better results. Learning Time and Rhythm. All pupils should be made to count aloud. There should be no exceptions to this rule, as this is essential for correct time and rhythm. Be sure that you understand the time value of the different notes. Use the metronome, if desired, as an aid in practicing scales and rhythmical exercises. Be sparing, however, in its use, as one should be taught to FEEL the accent of rhythm, rather than to hear it mechanically. Some pupils are what might be called "sluggish," and do not appear to have the vitality and energy to recognize rhythm. Such pupils might be made to march around the room in exact time to one's counting or playing, until the circulation is stimulated, when they will be able to FEEL and recognize the rhythm in their music. Rhythmical exercises at a table are good. RHYTHM IS THE LIFE OF MUSIC. Conference Echo Meeting in the Gymnasium at 8 p.m. to which the public is invited.

Since last fall Athletic Committees and Associations have had plenty of time to rectify any fallacy in their athletic procedure and coaching system. We now see many of these suggestions taking form. Howard is one of the few big colleges where no change in the coaching system is contemplated. Union makes no drastic change. A few have not been heard from, but decided changes have been announced for Lincoln and Wilberforce. According to reports the Lincoln Alumni will have more power in the control of athletics. Mr. Shelburne will not coach the Pennsylvania this season and in his stead will be found the captain and backfall of last year's Lincoln varsity, J. H. Law. Mr. Law has been installed as director of athletics, made a member of the faculty and will assume the responsibility of coaching football, basketball, and track teams for the 1922-23 school year. While nothing officially has been heard from Wilberforce we understand it is planned to have the coach on the faculty, using him, so to speak, as a pedagog in addition to tutoring the football team and thereby relieve a strain on the treasury. The action of these two universities comes as a great surprise to the football world. Lincoln had its greatest football year in 1921 and the same might be said of Wilberforce. Why should these schools experiment with their coaching systems when the interest and enthusiasm in the activity of the teams is at its zenith? Coach Law's ability as a player has been proven. He played under Fritz Pollard and Shelburne and took a course this summer under Bezdek, the football wizard at Penn. State. It is our sincere hope that he succeeds for we have always admired him on and off the field, and believe he has the making of a great coach. But had he been allowed at least one year under a head coach at Lincoln or tested at another college it would have given him much needed experience and seasoning and practically a new group to handle on his return to his Alma Mater. Experience is paramount when it comes to coaching and conditioning a team capable of holding its own against teams like Hampton, Union and Howard. Then again, last year Lincoln gridmen knew the greatness of their coach; they knew he had been tried in a sphere greater than their own. He was new to them and therefore they knew nothing of his weakness but the same can not be said of the newly appointed mentor. He will be known this year as a student and co-teammate and not as a faculty member and coach. Many will believe they learned as much from Pollard and Shelburne as Law and it will be extremely difficult for him to impress on them that he is the court of last resort when it comes to football strategy in winning crucial games. It will be hard for him to enforce the rigid rules of training without favoring certain players. A glimpse at Lincoln's schedule is sufficient to convince anyone that Law's work is cut out for him. No other Colored college eleven will face as many stiff opponents. Six games are on distant fields. If Lincoln's varsity finishes the season with one-half as many victories as games on the schedule Mr. Law will have succeeded with flying colors. The Wilberforce idea of having a coach on the faculty has been tried and found wanting. It seems hard for most of our school athletic committees to get through their heads that to properly coach a football team, requires as much time and thought as it does to teach chemistry or any other college subject. When will our colleges get away from antiquated practices especially in regard to school athletics? Lincoln's Schedule Oct. 7 ..... Bordentown (At Bordentown) Oct. 14 .....

Rap- id progress has been made and scrimages are now being held daily. As yet not all candidates have reported but the complete squad is expected intact in a day or two. Three stars of last years' team will not return this fall. They are Payne, fullback, who goes to the far South as a football mentor; Fuller, tackle, who enters Michigan; and Keene, quarter, who will teach in Kentucky. It is also probable that Melton, guard, and Brooks tackle, will also be lost to the varsity. The absence of the above linemen present coaches Morrison and Trigg real problems. It means that two tackles and a guard must be developed. Nurse and Smith are two men that can be used to advantage anywhere on the line. If a capable end can be found, it is likely the above pair will fill the tackle holes. Captain Williams will be found at his old position end; and it is hoped that Young, who had some experience last fall, or Long, formerly of Hampton, will show sufficient class to play the other flank. Holton will again be found at center; leaving Crawford, a veteran, and freshmen graduates to battle for the guards. Although the loss of Keene and Payne will be felt, the return of Carter, who was declared ineligible by the faculty last fall, and Molson, who was seriously injured in the West Virginia game, will somewhat offset the loss of the first pair. Carter's kicking will be a strong factor this fall. In addition to these men, Doneghey, the bright star of last season's backfield, and Contee, another regular, are in togs. Jackson, a former Storer college back, is showing class and may win a regular berth. It is likely that coach Morrison will follow his plan of 1920 and work two elevens in each game. Due to injuries and limited material, this was impossible last fall. Lawrence To Coach Lynchburg Seminary.

They have seen themselves suddenly transformed from plain dresses and street cars to the luxury of gorgeous gowns and limousines. They have been thrilled at the prospect of a limitless supply of money. But few of them have realistically pictured the duties and problems which their imagined position would entail. Dreams are apt to be all joy. The seams and tragic consequences of wealth, they are very likely to pass by. "Rich Men's Wives" is a picture which tells the whole story. It carries a charming girl from her finishing school days, on through the debutante period, then into a triumphant social life, marriage, motherhood, flirtation, and un- happiness—and a climax that is as interesting as it is unexpected. The drama is powerful. The moral is one that is particularly timely in this day of scandals in "high society." The cast includes such famous screen stars as House Peters, whose rare charm and beauty have already won her a place, beside the more notable actresses; and Baby Richard Headrick, the youthful star of "The Child Thou Gavest Me." And of course everybody remembers the Gaston Glass of "Humoresque." This picture is the first of a series of Gasnier productions, whose purpose it is to give body and weight to screen art, to couple rich sets with perfect acting, to unify the whole by the directing personality of Mr. Gasnier. The management of the Howard considers itself unusually fortunate in being able to give its patrons such a picture, in addition to high class vaudeville. From all indications it looks as though the old Howard has again found its moorings, and that everybody will meet everybody there as in the days of yore. The program above announced will continue for one week, beginning Monday, October 2; evenings at 8:15; matinees at 2:15, supper show Saturday at 6 p. m.

Now, through such holding back, through irony of fate concurring with present intensified negro uplift movement, your race was practically the sole loser, the more so, as it is as good as certain that imminent manufacture of my patents and publication of my compositions etc. will compel me to discontinue teaching all together before end of year.

But I do teach the following subjects, which no one else here does teach, can teach, and which you will do well to know because without them you can never hope to become a real, truly great artist: 1) Proper Formation Of Each Single Tone, Intonation, Tone Coloring, Singing Touch, Melody Treatment; 2) Rhythm; 3) The Accent And Its Ramifications, Shading, Phrasing; 4) Blending, Pianistic Orchestra Effect, Musical Elocution; 5) My Original Practical Keyboard Harmony. 5) My original practical experience. To sum up, I do not teach mere plano, but Musicianship, not mere dull, mechanical skill of belaboring the greatest possible number of keys no matter how the individual note sounds, but intelligent interpretation similar to that of orchestra works at the hands of a conductor. If your playing is crude and mechanical, if it is void of expression, rhythmic and structural beauty, tone quality, -color and shading and intellectual interpretation all around, I will be pleased to have you arrange for interview. Incidentally, my charges are reasonable. Male pupils preferred. HANS KOWSKY.

Briggs, of Columbia University, N. Y., called "One of the foremost educators of our time," and recognized authority on Junior High School work will give a course in the "Principles of Teaching" to all teachers who register for the course. Classes will be held each Saturday at 10:30 and will begin about October 7th in the Library of the Shaw Junior High School. Registration may be made by phone, in writing or in person with Miss Mineola Kirkland, Principal of the school and local representative of Columbia University. It is emphasized that this is a distinctly new course and is not to be confused with the one given by the late Dr. Romiett Stevens. Among the distinguished musicians appearing in the Autumn Artist's recitals in the appreciation course announced by Mrs. Fannie Douglass, teacher of music in the school are Mrs. Charlotte Wallace Murray, Mezzzo-soprano; Joseph H. Douglass, violinist, and Dr. Charles Sumner Wormley, baritone. The arrival of free hand drawing equipment has given a distinct impetus to the school's drawing department. General drawing, commercial drawing, cartooning and magazine illustration are featured by the teacher in charge. A current exhibit of student work is shown during the entire year. The availability of drawing as a general school activity is stressed rather than the old special subject idea. English teachers of the school are laying plans for Better Speech Week.

About forty candidates for the football squad responded to coach Cupid's call for gridiron athletes this week. Games with the senior high schools of this city and Baltimore are scheduled. The Science Club is arranging a special program to be presented in general assembly October 9th, "Fire Prevention Day." Physical experiments, practical demonstrations with fire extinguishers, a short play and talks by members of the fire department will be given. The Victrola will occupy an important place in the teaching of 9th grade French. Miss Esther Popel who has charge of this language work will augment the work in conversation with selected records in French. The aim is to stress ear training and appreciation of classic models. A series of lectures on pattern making will be given classes in domestic art by Miss Norma Sewell, teacher in the Shaw Junior High School. Miss Sewell has recently returned from a visit to the Pictorial Pattern Factory in New York City. Pattern designing will complete this unit of work. Two full companies of cadets have been formed, one a competing and the other an exercise company. The exercise company of last term furnished excellent material for the competing company of this school year. History-civics teachers in the school will augment the regular class room work in those subjects with motivated examples and excursions to museums and places of historic interest in and about the city. A mock congress and court trials participated in by students will make the teaching of these subjects more real.

The crowd of visitors fully appreciated the skill displayed by the young people whose work furnished ample evidence of the efficiency of Miss LeBrandt, who has as her assistant Mrs. G. P. Robinson. Refreshments in the form of ice cream contributed largely to the social nature of the event. This exhibition was staged very shortly after the Tennis Tournament, conducted by the Athletic director Mr. Charles H. Marshall, Jr. A loving cup, the joint donation of Dr. Hailstorks, Dr. C. H. Marshall, Dr. Phillips, Dr. Muray, Dr. Butcher, Dr. Schneider, and Dr. Pope, was awarded to Joseph Rollins. Silver medals were awarded for the junior events, to Turner and King, and silver medals for the series' double were awarded to Turner and Rollins. September 15th at eleven o'clock, kite flying contests were held, Messrs. Tignor, Atkins and Barnes officiated as judges. The winners of the contest were Horace Brown, James Fowler, Lloyd Carter and George Henry. Miss LeBrandt brings to the work years of experience and special study and this re-enforced by a natural ability for putting things across, argues well for future plans and activities. Miss Charlotte Atwood has been named head teacher of English at the Dunbar High School, and Mr. Neval H. Thomas head teacher of history, civics, and economics.

GO'EM ONE BETTER If your mother is a teacher, or father is a doctor, they can afford, or rather they have a car, own their home, have a piano, a servant, nice furniture, and they intend to send you to college. That's fine. But what are you going to do? Do you intend to go 'em one better or do you intend to be a mere everyday somebody? Don't go backwards. If your parents have succeeded to a certain extent—then go 'em one better. Does mother take in washing from Monday morning to Friday night—or does father toil in the sun or snow ten hours a day? With all of this they send you to school. They want you to go 'em one better. Never stand still, never go backwards. Whatever your parents are, go ahead of them. That is the dream they have while they toil or sacrifice for you. Whatever your parents may be, get it in your mind to go 'em one better. To do so will help you, help your community, and help the race. If you contemplate sending in answers to puzzles and questions be sure you have read the conditions in the list under the caption of "The Prize Winners."

NINTH AWARD The best reason given telling "Why I Want to go Back to School" was hard for the three judges to decide. Two papers were considered of equal value. The paper submitted by Violet M. Harris was awarded the first prize; the other paper did not bear any signature. The winner of the second prize is Pearl Whitmore; third prize winner, Raymond Mundy. Call at this office for your prizes. We are sorry the writer of the second paper here forgot to sign his or her name. Both papers are here presented. WHY I WISHED TO RETURN TO SCHOOL The vacation was long enough for me. There was ample time to rest, to visit, to sew on one's wardrobe for the coming school term and for many other things. This is my last year in high school. I am very anxious to be as successful as I can in every undertaking. Then, by returning to school, one can meet all his old acquaintances. He may make new ones if he cares to. Again, one comes in contact with many persons with whom he would not meet if he did not come to school: these are speakers, musicians, people who have travelled extensively, and others. They will come to our school and entertain us without charge, when we might have to pay as much as a dollar to hear them at a public performance. These are some of the reasons for my being glad to return to school. WHY I WANT TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL Every boy's and girl's idea should be "to finish school." We should accomplish this while we are young, because in later years we will regret that we cannot fill some of the places which others are rapidly filling. We should not go to school simply because the Board of Education, and other organizations, demand that we go. We should go because we want to get that education which means more to us than many other things; we should go to help those who are dear to us and for the advancement of the Negro Race. We should want an excellent education because little we can do without it to achieve success. We should not be despondent and "give up" because things do not "suit" us sometimes. We cannot, we must not let this stop us from attaining success. Please bear these things in mind, fellow Tribunites, and some of you think it over. You will find it is best to go to school after all. These are my reasons for wanting to go back to school. ANNIVERSARY EDITION Send in stories, pictures, drawings, puzzles, anything to help make the anniversary of the "Children's Page" something worthwhile. Send in special letters. Send in your articles now. The date of the appearance of the anniversary edition will be announced next week. One of the features on the program of this Page, is to wage a fight against the use of the word "nigger." Each Tribunite is urged to help make his or her friends see how unfair it is to ourselves, as a race, to use this one word. First we must not use it ourselves, secondly we must urge others not to use it It requires courage to speak on this subject to some people. When we set out to do good we must not falter. We must take advantage of every opportunity. A story is told of Frederick Douglass and the courage he displayed in making a speech against slavery. The incident took place in England. He attended the World's Temperance Convention which was held in Convent Garden, August 7, 1846. People from all over the world were at this convention, and, of course, there were lots of Americans there who were not in favor of freeing the slaves in the United States, Douglass listened to the praising of America by the Americans. He was not a delegate to the convention but he was on the program to speak. His ambition was to arouse feeling against slavery. He saw an opportunity and he had the courage to take advantage of it. "Mr. Chairman, Ladies, and Gentleman," he began, "I am not a delegate to this convention. Those who would have been most likely to elect me as a delegate could not, because they are tonight held in abject slavery in the United States. Sir, I regret, that I cannot fully unite with the American delegates in their patriotic eulogies of America and American societies. I cannot do so for this good reason: there are at this moment three millions of the American population, by slavery and prejudice, placed entirely beyond the pale of American temperance societies. The three million slaves are completely excluded by slavery, and four hundred thousand free colored people are almost as completely excluded by an in-veterate prejudice against them or account of their color. "I do not say these things to wound the feelings of the American delegates; I simply mention them in their presence and before this audience that, seeing how you regard this hatred and neglect of the colored people, they may be inclined, on their return home, to enlarge the field of their temperance operations and embrace within the scope of their influence my long neglected race. "Sir, to give you some idea of the difficulties and obstacles in the way of the temperance reformation of the colored population of the United States, allow me to state a few facts. About the year 1840, a few intelligent, sober, and benevolent colored people of Philadelphia, being acquainted with the alarming ravages of intemperance among a numerous class of colored people in that city, and finding themselves neglected and excluded from white societies, organized societies among themselves, appointed temperance committees, sent out agents, built temperance halls, and were earnestly and successfully rescuing many from the fangs of intemperance. "The cause went nobly, until August 1, 1842, the day when England gave liberty to one hundred thousand souls in the West Indies. The colored temperance societies selected this day to march in procession through the city, in the hope that such a demonstration would have the effect of bringing other into their ranks. They formed their procession, unfolded their teetotal banners, and proceeded to the accomplishment of their purpose. It was a delightful sight. But, sir, they had not proceeded down two streets before they were brutally assailed by a ruthless mob; their ranks broken up; their persons beaten and pelted with stones and brickbats. One of their churches was burned to the ground, and their best temperance hall utterly demolished." The Americans on the platform were angry—but Douglass knew he was right and he had the courage to to say that which was right. Here was a runaway slave being a champion for his people—can we be less? Do not use the word nigger—have courage to remind others not to use it. If you have friends who persist in using the word even after you have talked to them, perhaps if you showed them some of the articles in this paper against the use of the words—perhaps it would do some good. You can help to make life worth while, And shorten every weary mile By greeting others with a smile, If you but try. Poets' Corner Poets' Corner The following is taken from the poem by George W. McCorkle under the title of "Perseverance." This poem has twenty-one verses therefore we are only publishing those which are of direct interest to children. This is part of the poem referred to by Cornelia Jackson, a Tribunite, who suggested that we publish it. Perseverance If your teacher scolds at you, Study right on; If your teacher scolds at you, Study right on; If she seems mean in your view; Study right on. Strive each day to do your best; You can stand a little test; She will give you time to rest; Study right on. Strike right on, You must never think to fail; Let your axe at last prevail; Get more strength and split the rail; Strike right on. If you cannot find a job, Hunt right on; Don't go 'round and try to rob; Hunt right on. Do whatever comes to hand; Do your work so it will stand; But if still you fail to land; Hunt right on. If the day is bitter cold, Move right on; Be a man, a hero, bold; Move right on. You can't always be at ease; Hear the wind blow through the trees? Step up man before you freeze; Move right on. If the hill is rough and steep, If sometimes you're made to weep, Climb right on Though the climbing gives you pain, Just beyond the cloud and rain You will see the sun again, Climb right on. If in life you have bad luck, Push right on, You may reach the goal with pluck, Push right on. If you plan and then believe, Victory you will achieve, Then at last reward receive, Push right on. GEO. W. McCORKLE "Bronze" "Bronze" "Bronze: A Book of Verse" by Mrs. Georgia Douglas Johnson will soon make its appearance on the market. Mrs. Johnson is the author of a book of poems called "The Heart of a Woman." "Bronze" has an introduction by W. E. B. DuBois. The author writes, "This book is a child of a bitter earth wound. I sit on the earth, and sing—sing out, and of my sorrow. Yet, fully conscious of the potent agencies that silently work in their healing ministries. I know that God's sun shall yet shine upon a perfected and unhampered people." The book is published by B. J. Brimmer Co., Boston. Price $1.50 a copy. Postage ten cents extra. The following poem is from the forthcoming book: To The Mantled And they shall rise and cast their mantles by, Erect and strong and visioned, in the day That rings the knell of curfew o'er the sway Of prejudice—who ree.s with mortal cry To lift no more her leprous, blinded eye, Reft of the fetters, far more cursed than they Which held dominion over human clay, The spirit soars aloft where rainbows lie. Like joyful exiles swift returning home— The rhythmic chanson of their eager feet, While voices strange to ecstasy, long dumb Break forth in major rhapsodies, fuk sweet. Into the very star-shine, lo! they come Wearing the bays of victory complete! G. DOUGLASS JOHNSON Here we have two of Jose Lopez's lilting poems. His verse teems with fantom ships and the fragrance of the South Sea Isles. Tristeza O'er distant lands 'cross wayward seas and skies The tom-toms' sad insistent beat 7 Wakes the echoes, mournful, sad, en- thralling, Calls to love and peace and silence. Across the world o'er hill and plain and moor The plaintive notes 'mid blood and tears Thru the kralls when twilight shades are falling Call to war! to arms! and conquest! The jungle lure 'cross Veldt and sand and sea The tom-toms, mournful, throbbing bring With its longing, lonely plea appalling With its song of death and danger. Yet to answer means more love and anguish Still I can not stop its echo Nor its wailing, anguished voice from calling With its plea of peace misleading. caiting With its plea of peace misleading. JOSE LOPEZ The End Gone the days of the clipper ships That sailed the sunlit sea Gone the way of the ruby lips That held a kiss for me. No lover's kiss upon my lips Nor hands around my heart: Except the love for clipper ships— Of love I have no part. 'Tis the last cruise the clipper shell Makes o'er the briny sea, On her, too, I sail . . . my last, well Quit of the world and free. JOSE LOPEZ. "Flanders' Immortal Dead" is the best of Percy W. Greene's work we have read. The first verse and the first four lines of the second verse carry their sentiments well. The second poem "If You But Try" is the song of an optimist. Flanders' Immortal Dead In the silent fields of Flanders Where the red-head poppies grow, There the gentle breezes wander And the quiet brooklets flow. But beneath the sod is sleeping Peacefully the noble dead, And for aye will live their glory How in war they fought and bled. Each one truly was a martyr Each one did his very best, And at last when came "Life's Even- Bravely they lay down to rest. And their spirits now are keeping A long vigil over there, Ever guarding their dear country From the enemy's grim snare. If they had life to live over And their country called again. Each one as before would answer Theo knew they might be slain. But beyond this vale of sorrow, They are dwelling now on HIGH; So no more for them will ever Sound the loud, stern battle cry. PERCY W. GREENE If You But Try If you but try. You can extend a helping hand To him who struggles hard to stand, When nothing comes out as he planned, If you but try. You can direct his erring feet And cause him to be more discreet, About life's problems he must meet, If you but try. You can instil within his breast New hope and courage; and request Him to go on and do his best, If you but try. You always can help out somehow No matter what goes wrong; I vow, By stepping up and acting NOW, If you but try. Then you will not by chance, forget To do a kind act, and I bet, You will have no cause to regret, If you but try. There's always something you can say To some sad soul along the way To brighten up life's darkest day, If you but try. A cheerful word will do a lot To make one's sorrows be forgot, And your glad words will hit the spot, If you but try. You can be CLEAN and do what's RIGHT, And lead dark souls into the light So they can better their sad plight, If you but try. So let it now be understood, That YOU, yourself, can do some good On this earth; and I know you would, If you but try. PERCY W.

C., under the Act of March 3, 1879. SIXTY YEARS AGO and NOW. September 22, 1862, President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation to take effect the first of the following January. That was sixty years ago last Friday. That document was to free about 4,000,000 human slaves, after 250 years of unpaid toll and suffering. During this long period the slaves were taught to believe absolutely in their white masters, and inform on their fellow slaves everything that happened. They were discouraged, hopeless and full of misgivings toward their fellow slaves. They were also trying to get around work, for they had all of the drudgery to do. Now there are about 15,000,000 Negroes in this country, sixty years after Lincoln signed the Proclamation. Many of them yet believe in the white man—that he alone can be efficient trustworthy and helpful. There are others, especially since 1917, who have the utmost confidence in themselves and in their fellow kinsmen of color. It is to the colored man with confidence in himself and his brother that the race must look for the leadership necessary to continue the marked progress of the last five years. We must put aside our "yesterdays" and our "tomorrows" and work like Trojans for today. The eternal now is the all important time. Our yesterdays are gone and our tomorrows will come as we labor today. If we expect to accomplish anything in the next five, ten, fifteen, or twenty-five years, we must start building those tomorrows, today. The earlier we begin on that basis the better it will be for us. During the past five years we have developed a new racial consciousness. It is true that we are yet political slaves, economic slaves, social slaves and industrial slaves. We must free ourselves from these before we are really and truly free. The sooner we recognize this the better for us. There is no use for us to continue to kid ourselves and make ourselves believe that we are doing many things that we are not doing and enjoying a supposed freedom which we do not possess. Facts are incontrovertable and "ON THE HORIZON" (Continued from page 1) learned that the building committee about $100.000, has been approv ed builder, who has offered to furnis architects furnish preliminary p as that will not influence the bus we have long since learned that themselves to "give" us something.

All architects furnish preliminary plans free, therefore such "bait" as that will not influence the building committee. Furthermore, we have long since learned that white men are not falling over themselves to "give" us something for nothing. It is stated that under the plan of organization of the Congregational Church, this edifice when complete will be the property, not of the congregation, but of the national church organization, which is controlled by white people. This being the case, the least that could be asked would be that the amount that Colored people sacrifice to put into it should go to the architects and mechanics of our race, to increase their opportunities for development. It is to be hoped that this committee, composed largely of teachers and business men, will insist on this being done. MISSOURI PYTHIANS SUSPENDED New Orleans, La.—Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green of the Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia issued a proclamation last week, suspending the grand lodge of Missouri. The Missouri lodge was suspended because of its failure to pay monies collected by it for the Pythian Temple-Sanitarium Department. The sum of money collected and held by 67TH CONGRESS SHOWS A FAILURE 67TH CONGRESS SHOWS A FAILURE tion to study the industrial conditions of the colored people of this country. It provided for five persons, three of whom were to be Negroes. The Commission was to study the economic condition of the Negro; to study the labor problem in which the Negro is interested; to stimulate and encourage thrift and industry; to promote the general welfare of the Negro in industry; to give aid, and to encourage the general uplift of the Negro; to work out plans for the solution of the different problems confronting the Negro race of the United States and to make such recommendations for the solution of any problem or problems affecting the Negro that they might ```markdown ``` 2 should be recognized as such. Politically we are slaves to the Republican Party, which has treated the supposed free Negro worse than the master treated the slave. The Republicans have been promising great things for the colored brother for sixty years and each year doing less and less. We have an unrecognized power in our unorganized voting strength, of which the white man is well aware. Just think of 15,000,000 people living in a Republic, with a definite majority in two states—Mississippi and South Carolina—with fifteen Representatives and four Senators and not a single one a colored man. There are two other states in which colored men would have an excellent opportunity to represent their people if we enjoyed political freedom—Georgia, with two Senators and twelve Representatives, Louisiana with two Senators and eight Representatives, making a total for the four states of eight Senators and 35 Representatives. We should have at lest half of them, according to our population in those States. Are we politically free? We are not. When will we be free? Sixty years after the signing of the Proclamation, we are slaves economically. There is not a single city or county in this whole country where the Negro is not dependent upon the white man for his job, his home, his household and personal supplies, his education and his banking facilities. We are yet economic slaves. In religion we are denominational slaves and our denominations have been the hot bed of distrust, divisions and misunderstandings. Denominationally we are slaves. In education we are yet slaves. We do not have a single first class school operated and supported by our own faculty and our own funds. And not a single school in which we have our own school books, written, printed and inspired by our aspirations and ambitions. Consider our leading schools; every one of them are managed by white people. Are we free in our education? Not a single day in the year.

Congressman Ansorge, of New York on April 19th, 1921, introduced H. R. 4,378 "To create a Commission, to embrace white and colored members, to investigate the subject of lynching." This bill was referred to the Judiciary Committee where it remains in the pigeon hole. On April 25th, 1921, Congressman Gahn, of Ohio, introduced H. R. 4,978 "To asure to persons within the jurisdiction of every State the equal protection of the laws, and to punish the crime of lynching." This too, was referred to the Judiciary Committee and there it died. Congressman Anthony, of Kansas, introduced H. R. 226: Nov. 16th, 1921 "Calling on the Secretary of War for information in regard to soldiers under sentence for participation in the Houston riot." Referred to the Committee on Military Affairs and there it sleeps. Large measure of clemency has been extended in the cases of other military prisoners and this resolution should have passed thru this Republi can Congress. Senator Spencer of Missouri, on April 12th, 1921 introduced S. 138, in the Senate of the United States, a bill creating a Commission on the racial question. This bill was read twice and referred to the Judiciary Committee where it yet sleeps. This bill was --- based on the recommendations of the President in his inaugural address, and therefore a party measure, yet it is sleeping with the rest of them. On April 12, 1921 Senator McCormick of Illinois, introduced S. 409 "To create a Commission on lynching." There were to be five members of the Commission who would have $100,000 for investigation. This bill was read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary where it sleeps with the forgotten ones. returned to the city after being the guests of their sons, Messrs. Granville and Arthur Hurley of Philadelphia. Mr. Beltram Barber, mother and sister left last week on a motor trip to Atlantic City. Rev and rMs. J. A. Smith of Winston-Salem, N. C., are visitors in the city. On May 26th and June 2nd, 1921, Senator McCormick, offered an amendment to H. R. 5,010 "Making appropriations for the support of the army, and for other purposes." This amendment intended to increase the two Infantry and two Cavalry regiments, to which colored men are assigned, to four Infantry and four Cavalry regiments, which would double the number of colored soldiers in the army. This amendment was ordered to lie on the table. All of the above mentioned bills and amendments were introduced by Republicans, who had a majority of 165 in the House and 24 in the Senate. Can there be any excuse for not passing some of these bills? The following bills were introduced by the Democrats: S. 549, by Pat Harrison of Mississippi; A Jim Crow bill for the street cars of the District Committee, there it died. S. 1,795 by Senator Caraway of Arkansas, "Prohibiting the enlistment of any member of the Negro race in the military or naval services of the United States and discharge all members of the race now serving in any branch of the military or naval service of the U. S." Referred to Committee on Military Affairs, pigeon-holed. Congress Blanton, of Texas, H. R. 228, Cutting down the number of Representatives from 435 to 304. Referred to Committee on Census, forgotten. H. R. 4,574 by Congressman Johnson of Mississippi and H. R. 4,796 by Rankin of Mississippi, "To prohibit in the District of Columbia, the intermarriage of whites with Negroes or Mongolians." Referred to the District Committee and forgotten. The Liberian loan of $5,000,000 was unfinished business of the Senate, when the second session of the 67th Congress adjourned on the 22nd. This is the record of the 67th Congress so far affecting, directly the Negroes of America. What do you think of it? DYER BILL SLEEPS (Continued from page 1) for they had already ran a colored man against him in his district and it was up to him to produce something worthy of his position as the representative of this district, hence the introduction of the bill bearing his name, known as the anti-lynching bill. This bill H. R. 13, was introduced into the House on April 11th 1921, and was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. On October 31, 1921, the bill was reported out of the Committee, with an amendment, and placed on the House Calendar. On December 19th the bill came up for general debate. On January 25th, 1922, the bill passed the House by a vote of 230 to 119, and reported to the Senate. On January 27, it was read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. There it slept until July 28, when it was reported out of the Committee, with amendments. It was placed on the Senate Calendar and came up on September 5th and again on the 22nd, with the result that it did not come to a vote. Much stress has been placed upon the passage of this bill and possibly every Negro in the United States knows of the large majority the Republicans have in the 67th Congress. They are also aware of the fact that the Republicans have proclaimed their special friendship for the colored brother and the majority of the Negroes in this country have believed the 67th Congress would pass this anti-lynching bill. The question naturally arises: Will the Negroes of this country continue their faith in the Republican Party, after such miserable treatment of the Dyer and other bills in this Congress?
