To honor a man of our group in this way is indeed commendable and worthy of our endorsement and support. Congressman Madden (deceased) introduced a bill in Congress asking for an appropriation for a part of the sum needed to erect this memorial—a very commendable act on his part. But now comes a meeting at the District Building this week, the object of which is thus set forth in the announcement: "In order that we may be in a position to carry out the intention and to further our efforts in erecting a monument, etc." Among the speakers whose names appear on the program is that of Col. C. O. Sherrill, in charge of Public Buildings and Grounds. Col. Sherrill needs no introduction to our people, for his flagrant acts tending to discriminate against us since he has been in office well known to all. He is the "gentleman from North Carolina" who ordered separation on the tennis courts and golf links in our publicly owned parks. It was he who ordered "jim-crow" signs out in Rock Creek Park for Easter Sunday and Monday; and he is the same Col. Sherrill who was responsible for the separation of our people at the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial in May. Why this "gentleman from North Carolina," whose every act has demonstrated excessive and brazen race prejudice should be honored with an invitation to address a public meeting of our group, and what he could say that any self-respecting man, woman or child of Pietro Alonzo's race would pause long enough to listen to, beyond understanding. A man who takes advantage of the day celebrating the birth of christ to practice race hatred; who utilizes the occasion of the medication of a memorial to that greater North Carolinian who lived and died for human freedom and the equality of all men, to show his contempt for the principles for which this greatest american was a martyr, is a man who exhibits himself as devoid if all conscience, and whose every utterance is tainted. Our people should let the persons responsible for this meeting now that if we can get this monument—or any other of any kind or any purpose—only through the "good offices" of this raceating, unworthy public servant, we would prefer to go on without it. We should let it be known that we are willing to wait—wait a hundred years more (having already waited over four hundred)—or a memorial that would be free from the taint of Sherrill.

JUDGE O'TOOLE DECIDES SUB- TENANTS' RIGHTS Attorney James C. Waters Gets First Decision of its Kind in the District As the result of a decision filed by Judge Mary O'Toole in the Municipal Court today, the rule under which the subtenant has had no rights which the landlord was bound to respect, came to an end in this District. The default of the tenant resulting in the ouster of the subtenant has been a familiar sight in this city since a time beyond the memory of the oldest inhabitant, but at last relief has come, and to a woman judge and a lawyer of our own group is due the credit. In the case, which was the suit of Johnson vs. Green for possession on account of non-payment of rent, it appears that Green sublet to Charles J. and Emma N. Elliott. After this arrangement had lasted for some months, the Elliottis and Green fell out, whereupon Green sued the Elliottis for possession. Meanwhile the Elliottis continued to pay rent to Green. On December 5th, when the case against Green was called in the Municipal Court, it appears that Green although he had collected the November rent from the Elliottis, had failed to pay Johnson the owner of the premises, and Johnson in turn had refused to accept rent from the Elliottis on the ground that Green was his tenant, and since Green had defaulted in the rent, he (Johnson) wanted his house. It was a ticklish situation for the Elliottis were facing the prospect of being set out into the street without a place to lay their heads. At this juncture, Attorney James C. Waters, Jr., on behalf of the Elliottis, by means of a petition without precedent in the local courts, had the Elliottis made parties defendant, shut Green out completely, and won unrestricted possession for his clients. The WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1922 SCHWALZ DEFEAT OF ANTI- LYNCHING BILL AROUSES PRESS Many Editors Advocate New Political Alliances in Future QUESTION G. O. P. SINGERITY One Editor Warns Race to Prepare for Own Defense in the Future The remarkable reaction of the colored press against the Republican party for its failure to pass the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill is shown in the following editorial paragraphs. Pittsburg American The best editorial and possibly the one which portrays the real feeling of the Negro was that of the Pittsburgh American under the caption, "The Senate Comforts the Mob." "We do not believe there is any intelligent Negro in America who will believe that the Republican Party had any intense interest in the Dyer Bill. There is no intelligent Negro who will allow himself to be fooled into believing that the Republicans did all that they could do to pass the bill. It is improbable that any sensible man will believe that the Democratic opposition was prompted by respect for the constitution or loyalty to constitutional state rights. "Since his government, state and national, cannot or will not protect him and guarantee him life and liberty, it becomes the duty of every Negro to prepare to protect himself, his home and his family. There is no need to mince words, no need to talk of law and peace. Three thousand of us have died at the hands of the mob in the past thirty years. Negro women have been raped by white men, the lives of Negro children have been warped by white men and no law operates to stop the same thing from happening during the next thirty years. Instead of one million Negro women organized to stop lynching there should be one million Negro men organized and prepared to meet the mob using its own weapons and its own methods. Of course, some of us would die, many of us would die, but it is far better to die like men, like free men than be burned like bales of hay in most any public square in this land of the free." Wilmington Advocate "Where Lies the Blame?" asks the Wilmington Advocate in a strong denunciatory editorial: "Who is to blame for the continued (Continued on page 6) decision, marks the dawn of a new day in the lives of thousands of subtenants who are no longer left to the merciless whim of their landlords.

Wilson of Recreation Committee Writes Secretary Weeks Taking cognizance of an article that appeared exclusively in this paper last week, William H. Wilson, chairman of the Committee on Recreation of the Mu-So-Lit Club, Monday, addressed a letter to Secretary of War Weeks in reference to the location of the proposed bathing beach. Dr. Wilson's letter to Mr. Weeks follows: The Honorable, The Secretary of War, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: The attention of the Musolit Club has been called to a request which you are alleged to have made of a committee of colored men who held a conference with you respecting bathing facilities upon the public domain in the environs of Washington. The allegation imputes to you the desire that colored people express their wish respecting the location of a bathing beach for them at some point upon the Potomac river. In the name of the Musolit Club whose membership comprises many of the most representative colored men of Washington you are informed that these colored Americans have no de- JUDGE GEIGER DECIDES AGAINST JIM-CROW SCHOOL Ohio Statute Does Not Provide for Separation of Races DECISION IS RACE VICTORY (Special to The Tribune) Springfield, Ohio—"Inasmuch as the legislature (of Ohio) had in 1887, repealed the specific statue which permitted the establishment of exclusively colored schools, separate schools for colored children have been abolished, and no regulation can be made under any now existing statue which does not apply to all children, irrespective of race or color," said Judge Frank W. Geiger in the Court of Common Pleas here in overruling the demurrer of the board of education which is trying to force "jim crow" schools on the colored people of this city. The board's demurrer was filed in answer to the petition of Chas. L. Johnson and J. W. Leigh for a permanent injunction against the board restraining the board from establishing separate schools. Judge Geiger's ruling required a half hour to read. The demurrier filed by the school board admitted the truth of the allegations of the petition to the effect that the board of education is, by transfer of pupils, seeking to establish at the Fulton School, a school exclusively for colored children. The demurrier was the second step in what is promised to be a bitter legal fight for and against separate schools. With the first contention of the board of education disposed of, a date for a hearing on the injunction will be set, when the necessary evidence will be submitted. It may be necessary to subpoena the parents of all the white children in the Fulton School district, as well as the parents of the colored children who have been denied admission to schools in their respective districts that they might be forced into the Fulton School. With from two to five case against many parents in the Fulton School district in the Police Court and the two courts of Justices of the Peace for refusing to send their children to school in compliance with the compulsory attendance law of the state, there has been a slowing down in the effort of the authorities to force the children into school by threats of prosecution. While these threats frightened a few parents into sending their children to school, the majority of parents are determined to follow the instructions of the Civil Rights Protective League in not sending their children to the "jim crow" school. The case against Dr. C. F. Keller, a LETTER WRITTEN BY HOWARD PUBLISHED BY N. A. A. C. P. AS BASIS FOR CHARGES Office: 920 U St., N. W. htDy LETTER WRITT PUBLISHED BY AS BASIS F TWO MEN BURNED TO DEATH. FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED One Body Found in Ash Pit and One in Burned Down Shanty The finding of the charred body of Daniel Carter in the ashes of his shanty on Leesburg Pike, about sixteen miles from Washington on November 26th, has suggested the theory that foul play preceded the burning of the little house, and the body of Mr. Carter. Daniel Carter was working as a blacksmith for the construction company which is building the Leesburg Pike. He was paid on Saturday night, the 25th. His companions state that they saw him with the money Sunday. About ten o'clock Sunday night, the 26th, his shanty was afire. Carter was burned almost beyond recognition. Dr. Robey, the County Coroner, expressed as his opinion, to Mrs. Anna Tate, a sister of Mr. Carter's, that he felt sure that Carter had been saturated with oil and burned to death. Carter had a row with a white man by the name of Lowe on Saturday. It is alleged that Carter's trousers were found in Lowe's bunk Monday. The Coroner is of the opinion that Carter was murdered, oil poured on him and he and the house set afire to hide the crime. Mrs. Tate is of the opinion that her brother was murdered and burned to hide the crime. She said that she was doing all that she could to have the guilty ones brought to justice. She also stated that the State's Attorney was at work on the case and that she hoped arrests would soon be made. Mr. Carter leaves a widowed mother and three sisters. One sister lives near McLean, Va., another in Philadelphia, and Mrs. Tate a 810 23rd St., Northwest Washington. The body of Earl N. Thronton was found in the ash pit at Ivy City roundhouse. This has led city detectives to believe that Thornton met his death through foul play. When the partly burned body was found, it was noted that his pocketbook was empty and it was suspected that robbery was the motive. The police authorities learned later that Thornton had sent most of his money to his mother who lived at 407 K St., Southeast. Robert Hawkins of 627 Acker St., was arrested and questioned. He is being held at the Ninth precinct station house. prominent physician and race leader of this city, alleging that he hit a policeman on the head with a brick while the officer was on guard at the Fulton School, was dropped when a jury in the Police Court acquitted Dr. Keller. The jury was only out six minutes and was composed of representative business men. The regular Friday night meetings of the Civil Rights Protective League continue to draw large crowds and the donations also continue to show the willingness of the people to sacrifice for the protection of their rights. President Charles L. Johnson, and Attorneys Daniels and James have received threatening letters signed "K. K. K." These letters have had a tendency to increase the determination of the colored people to fight to the bitter end. The slogan is, "We will not have 'tim-crow' schools."

FOR CHARGES The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People with headquarters in New York City, this week made public excerpts from a letter addressed to Senator T. Coleman Du Pont of Delaware by Perry W. Howard an appointee from Mississippi in the Department of Justice. The release of the N. A. A. C. P. had the following caption: "Perry Howard Does his bit to defeat Dyer Anti-Lynching bill." Mr. Howard's letter is supposed to have been written November 23rd, just three days after the opening of the special session of Congress. The part of Mr. Howard's letter sent out by the N. A. A. C. P., follows: "I received your letter of Nov. 22 upon my return from the West where I have been almost the entire time since the close of the campaign. "I confess to you that I have blood in my eyes for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and others who have used them with sinister designs to defeat some of the best friends that we have in particular and the Nation in general. "The purpose of this letter is to call attention of you and other outstanding statesmen to the fact that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is purely a Negro Democratic organization and has always been found on the side of the Democrats in the final analysis. This organization was used by Bob Nelson and others, and all owe your defeat to no other agency. I corrected the evil in Wilmington and if I could have gone into the Dover neighborhood on the following Monday, I could have saved the day, but I had an engagement to fill for Senator Frelinghuysen and you know it was impossible for me to do so. "Now, I may call attention to the fact that whatever legislation or whatever else is done for the colored people of this country ought certainly to be done promptly, but I insist that none of it ought to be done through or by reason of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People or any of its sympathizers. "I therefore think that it should be the policy of the leaders of the party like you to absolutely ignore and give the back of your hand to such men as Nelson, James Weldon Johnson, W. E. B. DuBois, Robert L. Vann, of Pittsburgh and others of their ilk. There should be no quarters; and while treating every colored man with fairness and looking well to the interest of our group, these political bolshevists should be annihilated as the basest of ingrates." (Signed) PERRY W HOWARD. It is claimed by the N. A. A. C. P. that copies of Mr. Howard's letter were sent to Senators Frelinghuysen, McCormick, Watson and Moses, also to General Daugherty, and Republican National Committeeman Charles Adams. A Tribune reporter called on Mr. Howard in his office in the Department of Justice this week for a statement and Mr. Howard was vehement in his criticism of the N. A. A. C. P. news release. When asked for a statement Mr. Howard said: "I have read with amazement the release from the N. A. A. C. P., of New York of December 8th, charging that I defeated the anti-lynching bill and the Liberian Loan. I denounce the (Continued on page 5) Santa Claus Letters to Santa Claus should be in this office by December 19, noon. Editor, Children's Page technique of the piano is not merely music development.

They find a hinderance to smooth execution and possibly wonder what is lacking! There is need of relaxation. There is need of flexibility. Did they once think of tightness of the entire hard and arm? Did they once think of stiffness which is the opposite of flexibility? The writer is quoted further: "The second point in technique is to learn to play by the weight of the arm rather than by muscular pressure. The practice of dropping the hands' on the keys is excellent. Hold the hands directly over the keys, at the height of the chin, letting the hands droop from the wrists. Play a scale of sixths with each hand by suddenly dropping the hands on the keys, with the fingers pointing downward as the hands descend. The instant that the fingers touch the keys the hand should descend below the keyboard until the hand is hanging from the keys. Then play legato scales with the weight of the arm pulling the keys down. "Form a habit of using the up touch as well as the down. The dropping touch is the down touch. The up touch is produced by beginning with the wrists lower than the keys. Then rapidly raise the wrist at the instant that the key is struck by the finger. The wrist may be raised to different heights, according to the speed and loudness of the music." IS PUBLIC SCHOOL MUSIC The American public school has not yet attained perfection, still much has ben done toward adequate development of real culture since the day of the American colonists and still more, much has been left undone. There is yet a lot of freakishness left in the system, a lot of quack ideas and methods in vogue, called by some 'up-to-date,' 'modern,' and even 'superb.' Why, do you not know that only the minority are able to cope with the times upon graduation and if it weren't for an accidental teacher's job, many of that minority would go to the wall in adject despair? Why don't our school systems discard some of the useless courses of dry, dead material and substitute some more tangible, live and useful courses that would fit graduates to v touch, but, alas, ted they encount- tion in the non- music control, habit guard familiarity. to smooth wonder what need of relaxa- of flexibility. Did go out and make good in the world more readily? There's the music course! How many leave the school thoroughly prepared in it? Even the president emeritus of Harvard University, Dr. Charles W. Eliot, urges more music in public schools and contends that the time now given is too short. F Street, Northwest. Tuition $150 for the payable in monthly inst North 8564. JESSE LAWSON, A.M. Registrar. JAMES A. DAVIS, LL Treasurer. Dr. Eliot says: "The American colonists centuries ago left untrained their children'scapacity for music, and this was one of the bad outcomes of strict English Puritanism. The English Puritans thought much more of duty, particularly of harsh and disagreeable duty, than they did of beauty; and we, their descendants, are suffering from the casting of music out of their churches and group-singing or chorus-singing out of their social gatherings. In fact, they reduced music in their church service to the lowest possible terms. We must struggle against that unfortunate inheritance, redeem the time lost, and put training in music into every one of the schools of this land. When I say 'put it in,' I mean put it in a quantity sufficient to accomplish the desired result, namely, the enjoyment throughout life of melody, harmony and rhythm, enjoying these things oneself, and especially enjoying one's capacity to give pleasure to other people through them." What more logical conclusion and indictment of the American public school system does one desire than this? When will the American people insist on more and better music training in our schools? When will our educators learn the value of music as a fine art in the culture and development of keener intellect of the American youth of today? Give more time to music study in the schools! It harmonizes the attributes of a child's character; harnesses the esthetic elements of his soul; and, molds the baser instinct into a symmetrical whole. PULLMAN PORTER TIPS Mr. and Mrs. W. H.

Sepcial Emphasis on Protection of Women, Children and Home—Mob Violence Condemned Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 30—Another im- portant step in the South-wide move- ment for better race relations was taken when eighteen representative North Carolina women met in Raleigh, ‘on October 12, accepted membership in the State Committee on Race Rela- tions, and gave out a vigorous decla- ration of their principles and purpose. ‘The personnel of the group was most notable, including outstanding leaders of the State Federation of Clubs, the State Welfare Board, and the big church organizations. It is doubtful if there could be found in the State another group of equal num- ‘ber having as. wide connections and lable to wield as pe influence. | After a day given to earnest study ‘of the interracial situation, the group drafted and gave to the public the fol- lowing statement: “We are conscious of a world con- dition of restlessness in which race friction plays a conspicuous paxt. We cannot ignore the fact that this pres- ents a problem in which the South is so acutely involved that we are con- scious that the eyes of the world are upon Us, questioning our course. We cannot shirk the responsibility of taking up’ the chailenge, grasping the opportunity presented, seeking a so- lution to this problem and demonstra- ting it on our southern soil. “We believe that unrest existing between two different races dwelling side by side under the same economic system and the same government can be lessened, and eventually dispelled by a course of justice and fair play.

It lies in th cultivation of an attitude of fairness of good will and % conscious determi nation to establish an understanding sympathy. “We believe that every human being should be treated not, as a means tc another’s ends, but-as a person whos« aspirations toward _ self-realizatior must be recognized; that we mus' cherish racial integrity and racial self-respect, as well as such mutua respect as well lead each to higher moral levels, to mutual trust and mu. tual helpfulness. We believe that ir this process certain values must ‘be developed and maintained. “No family and-no race rises high er than its womanhood. Hence, the intelligence of women must be eulti. vated and the purity and dignity of womanhood must be protected by the maintenance of a single. standard of morals for both races. “The right of childhood to health and safety, to the training of body and mind in right habits and the soul in right purposes, is unchallenged. The childhood of every race must be safe- guarded, for ‘races move forward on the feet of little children.’ “As a foundation for social security for all races the family ideal must be made, possible by economic justice, by religious sanction, by legal safeguards and-a single standard of morals. “We believe that violence has no place where pepole lend their sup: port in every possible way to the agencies constituted by the people for the apprehension, trial and punish. ment of offenders against society, We resent the assertion that criminality can be controlled by lawless outbreaks, and woman's honor protected by sav- |e We believe it ou “We believe it our highest duty tc Jmqrsue these “methods toward har monious racial adjustment. “We believe that bitterness, resent. ment and strife will yield to mutual trust only as we eteadfastly cultivate in both races these attitudes and this faith in our common humanity, »“ “To these ends we pledge our- selves.” Similar organizations of women have been effected during the last year in Georgia, Alabama, South Car olina, Virginia, Tennessee and Texas. This enlistment of the women is gen- erally regarded as one of the most signifieant phases of the good will work that is being done thruout the South by the Commission on Inter- racial Cooperation, which came into existence in 1919 and now has branches in every Southern State and in 800 counties.

Williams (Shaw) Review of All-American Candidates (By H. Scott) The galaxy of football candidates for all-American honors is too abundant for any attempt at selecting the best eleven men. Gradually the evil of choosing All-American teams is passing out. Walter Camp—the father of the idea—started picking All-Americans in 1889. He had but four teams to select from in those days, Harvard, Yale, Pennsylvania and Princeton. Last year Camp gave it up as a bad job. No longer had he just four varsities to judge but many times that number. Such a task of naming the best eleven individuals is humanly impossible for one man or even a group of men. This writer has for the last few years named All-Americans with wonderful success. And while our selections were based on as complete information as available, we were compelled to favor a few and neglect many. This season we are adopting the system of listing on an honorary roll the names of a destined number of players who have stood out in practically all games and contributed most to the success of their teams. The greater portion of these men the writer saw perform, but those we failed to see in action the opinions of scribes, officials, coaches and players were sifted, sorted and utilized. The popularity of the open game has affected the duties of the ends to such an extent that steadiness and reliability are the chief requirements emphasized by coaches. Gayle of Morehouse, Tripp of Wilberforce, Lancaster and Skinker of Lincoln; Jones of Hampton; Maddux of St. Paul; Williams of Howard; Brown of Va. Normal; Lattimore of Livingstone; Haywood of Tuskegee; and Hoyle and Sledd of Va. Seminary were dependable ringmen. At the position of tackle we find the greatest group of stars that probably ever played this position in any First Team Positions Second Team Lytle, Shaw L.E. Brown, Va. Normal Irving, Morehouse L.T. Coston, Lincoln Nurse, Howard L.G. Smith, Howard Dabney, Hampton Center Stewart, Shaw Gayle, Hampton R.G. McDonald, Union Hammond, Union R.T. Jordan, Va. Seminary Tripp, Wilberforce R.E.

This writer saw Coston of Lincoln; Coleman of Hampton, Nurse of Howard; Lee of Va. Normal; Irving of Morehouse and Hammond of Union in action and we would not attempt to name the best pair. They were all great. Ohter good men at this position were Ferrell of Va. Normal; Ruffin of Hampton; Spaulding of A. and T.; Robinson of Knoxville, Manning of St. Augustine; Long of Fisk; Wood of Lincoln; Coleman of St. Paul and Meeks of Livingstone. Few football followers know or care anything about guards. There were many proverbial stonewalls at this important position. Lincoln, Howard, Shaw, Hampton and Union had formidable pairs in Carter and Diggs, Smith and Crawford, Gill and Ballard, Gayle and Fry, and Smith and McDonald, respectively. Griffin of Fisk, Vaughn of St. Paul; Moore of W. Va. Cromwell of Knoxville, Spencer of Talladega; Gibbs of Tuskegee and Cook of Morehouse were exceptional guards. The prowess of Dabney of Hampton and Morgan of Lincoln at the pivotal position is too well established for further comment. Their styles are different but just as effective, Dabney roving and Morgan concentrating his attack on the opposing center. Dabney, because of his crafty generalship would get our vote for All-American honors were such in order. Holton of Howard had no superior as a passer. Stewart of Shaw, Rooks of Union, Thrift of Va. Normal, Jones of W. Va. Leake of Atlanta form a stalwart array of centers. Four men in the East stood out at quarterback—Jackson of Union; McLean of Lincoln; Carter of Howard and Jacobs of Hampton. Jackson could do everything well, so could Carter had he been allowed a free hand. The 17-year-old Jacobs should be a wonder next year. McLean's brilliant exhibition Thanksgiving has been heralded to all parts of the country. Other brainy and versatile field generals were Mitchell of Shaw; Harper of Morehouse; Coles of Va. Normal; Tyler of Va. Seminary; Walker of St. Paul and Gordon of Talladega. The season produced much capable backfield material. While there were a number of clever individuals many teams boasted of having all-star backfields. Because of this wealth of ball carriers and the lack of space we are grouping the entire lot. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1922 the East, Contee, Molson and the improved and promising Melton. Cardoza, Scott, Hardwick and the spectacular dropkicker, Gunn, flashed at Hampton. Johnson at Lincoln; Cardwell and Eaves at W. Va.; Williams and Taylor at Shaw; Fentress and Wilson at Union; Edwards at Talladega; Huff at Wilberforce; Nichols, Turner and Ross at Va. Normal, Watson at Seminary; Gentry and Kelly at Morehouse; Parker at St. Paul; Nance at Tennessee; Williams at Tuskegee; Jones at Morris-Brown; McCollum at Atlanta; Huff and Reid at Livingstone form a group that compares with any group of any season. Fifth Annual Review of Football in the Southeast By B. T. Harvey, Director of Athletics Morehouse College Football in the Southeast during the season of 1922 was not up to the high standard set by the teams of 1921. The smoothness of team work, variety of attack and the appearance of men well grounded in fundamentals for the majority of the teams was inferior to the form displayed the season before. There were four rea- sons responsible for this, namely: 1st. Loss of varsity men by graduation; failure to return and changing of schools. 2nd. Lack of coaching, or in some cases too many coaches, 3rd. New Coaches. 4th. Too much emphasis placed on haphazard forward passing. Morehouse College and Knoxville College suffered from the first cause especially. Morehouse showing six new faces in the varsity line-up for 1922. Morris Brown and Talladega with a wealth of material didn't show results. Atlanta University with a very light schedule can boast of an early season win over Fisk before a coach was secured. Neither Atlanta University nor Tennessee State Normal, both of whom went thru the season undefeated, on the basis of form displayed and comparative scores with opponents' met later in the season, would have competed on equal terms with the well coached team of Fisk University which met the Morehouse Tigers on Thanksgiving Day in All Southeaston Eleven Selected by Coach Harv First Team Posit Haywood, Tuskegee L.

Frye, Rens Va. and S. L. Gayle, Hampton, Va. Fisk, State Normal, and Atlanta University will have their supporters for the mythical title of champions but in the opinion of the writer, the Fisk team of Thanksgiving Day deserves the right to the title which Morehouse has held undisputed for two years and only lost in the closing minutes of one of the most spectacular games of years by a seemingly poor decision. Mr. Steiner, the new coach of Fisk, deserves credit for his great work with the Fisk team during the latter part of the season. We welcome him to the ranks of coaches. He is a gentleman of the highest type of sportsmanship. The season of 1922 has brought forth the following observations and suggestions. 1. Colored officials were used in all games in Nashville, Atlanta, and Tuskegee. Although some mistakes were made, they were not worse than some made in other years. The following men especially served well and ought to be even better next year: Messrs. J. Tutt, Paul Diggs, J. C. Arnold, and C. E. Warner. 2. There is great need of an organization of control among the colleges of the Southeast, which really controls. Such things could be done by this body as; Appointing approved officials, settling protests of decisions of officials in games, etc., formulating schedules, regulating changing of schools by athletes, and the rigid enforcement of eligibility rules. 3) The try for extra point after touchdown has caused more upsets of dope this year than ever before. The writer is in favor of its abolishment altogether. As now stated it adds new obstacles, such as development of a dropkicker, the closeness of play on which officials may call fouls, which from the outsiders' point of view are questionable, and tends to development of individual stars rather than team play.

Sedberry, Paul Quinn Review of Texas Conference Teams (By F. J. Long) Waco, Texas. Dec. 8—Picking an all-star team is a matter of personal opinion, and one man's selection is just as much official as the other; unless authorized by a certain conference or section to name the official all-star selection. Therefore I come forth with what I term my first and second all conference teams of the Texas Conference. The Texas Conference, or the Southern Athletic Conference, by which name it is better known, enjoyed its best season since its organization. Each school composing the conference presented a real gridiron team this fall and the competition for the conference championship was very interesting and it was only in the last game of the season that Paul Quinn College of Waco was able to cinch the championship by winning a hard fought battle from Samuel Houston College of Austin. Good players were plentiful in the Lone Star state and the fans were entertained with some real spectacular battles. For the ends, Walker of Prairie View and Baker of Texas College, stand out as the best in the conference closely crowded by Nichols of Paul Quinn and Drummond of Wiley. Walker is the hardest man in Texas to circle, is down under punts fast, and is a sure receiver of forward passes. Baker of Texas College is without equal as a catcher of forward passes, and although stationed at halfback during most of the games, he is a deadly tackler and would make a great running mate for the speedy Walker. At tackle Jefferson and Morgan, both of Paul Quinn, have the call on their opponents by a wide margin. Hunter of Prairie View and Redwine of Texas College are the next best men that the conference has to offer. Jefferson, short and stocky of statue, and Morgan, lean and lanky, are a pair of tackles of whom most any coach in the country would be proud. Morgan shades Jefferson when it comes to advancing the ball, but the stocky lad from Waco is the better defensive man of the two. Guards were plentiful this year, but Lott of Wiley, was undoubtedly the best in the conference, and while Slaughter of Paul Quinn was a close second, Wheatley's work at center for Samuel Houston stamps him of such calibre that he cannot be left off the all conference selection, therefore we name Whatly Asky's work in the early season games makes him the logical choice on the second team. WEEK OF Admission COMING! Christmas Mon.. Tues.. We There is no disputing Sanders right to the pivot position. This 220 pounder "fiterally crushed all opposition and was the mainstay of the Paul Quinn line. An unerring passer and a quick hard charging center is Sanders, down under punts often before the ends and possessing the faculties to diagnose plays before they are started. Recovering fumbles seems to be his dish, and this ability alone was responsible for the defeat of Wiley. Dillard of Prairie View, all-star center of last year, was just as brilliantas ever, but Sanders' 1922 record stamps him the best center in Texas for several seasons. Tolliver of Prairie View, shades the rest of the pack at quarter. There seemed to be a dearth of good quarters in the conference, but San Marcus Flash was as brilliant as ever, knowing exactly the weak spot in the enemy's defense and using advantage of that knowledge. The verteran Prairie View field general also can advance the ball and will bear watching in most any game he plays. Grant of Samuel Huston and McMillian of Wiley enjoyed good yearsand the latter will make a star of the first water with a little more experience. Sheppard of Paul Quinn and Newton of Samuel Houston are the two best halfbacks in the conference. Sheppard was stationed a quarterback, and there is no question about it he was in the wrong position, but Paul Quinn had no better so the job was shoved on this brilliant' player. He could hardly be left off the selection as he is the best dropkicker in the state, an accurate passer and a real star in a broken field. Newton of Samuel Houston is on a par with Sheppard when it comes to advancing the ball from scrimmage, but as a dropkicker and forward passer Sheppard stands alone. Newton is the hardest man to stop in the South, and is equally as dangerous whether skirting ends or driving off tackle. It is hard to leave Tinsley of Paul Quinn and Orange of Wiley off the selection, but they are shaded by the two named above. Carroll of Prairie View is the best fullback seen around Texas in years. This is nothing new for Pat as he has been sparkling at Prairie View for three years. Injured the first part of the season, this battering ram closed the season with a blaze of glory. All lines look the same to this boy when he is going, and it must be said that Pat was going when the season closed. Sedberry of Paul Quinn, although stationed at half deserves mention as he is without equal as an interferer in the S. A. C. and is one of the best punters in the state. 20 Cents --- Howard Theatre 7th and T Streets Lincoln Theatre J. WILLIAMS CLIFFORD, Manager LOUIS N.

(Continued from page 1) perfidy of those responsible for this release for disjointing my letter and leaving out certain parts of it, which was intended to make it distasteful. No honorable men would do this, and I challenge them to publish the entire letter. "I want to say that any statement or intimation that I in any wise, directly or indirectly, defeated or contributed to the defeat of the antilynching bill is false, and there is not a sane human being in the country who believes this, including the man or men who released the article so charging. "I emphatically deny that I defeated the Liberian Loan." Continuing Mr. Howard said: "I cannot see what makes Mr. Johnson and Mr. DuBois the custodians of the responsibility of passing the antilynching bill unless it be a popular card to fill the coffers of the N. A. A. C. P. and give them increased salaries; for they are the most luxuriously salaried gentlemen whom I know to be doing charitable work. No criticism for N. A. A. C. P. "I have no word of censure for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People per se and its earnest members who mean well and are doing their best; but I do object to these autocrats exploiting themselves at the expense of the association and seeking to belittle those who do not pay homage to them." No apology for his action In speaking of the Republican party, Mr. Howard said: "I have no apology to make for standing by the men of my party who have always stood for those things which will benefit our group. What I have done and what I am trying to do has been at a sacrifice; but I challenge any leader of the N. A. A. C. P. to show one thing he has done without reward or the hope of reward in fabulous salaries. N. A. A. C. P. failed to support Race Papers "May I ask what credit does Mr Johnson give to the struggling colored newspapers throughout the country which, in season and out, labored for an anti-lynching bill. I should certainly never have been guilty in face of the fact that these papers have worked in season and out for the passage of this bill when the N. A. A. C. P., had $6,000 to spend for advertising to send it down to The Atlanta Constitution and other white dailies that did not need it when some of our press boys are trying for bread.

P., through the influence of my friend Bob Nelson (of the Wilmington Advocate) whose paper Senator du Pont says he has helped to the tune of $15,000 to keep it in existence, to import Democratic leaders into Wilmington to defeat Senator du Pont. Supplies Paragraph left out Mr. Howard supplied The Tribune's representative with a paragraph that was left out of the letter sent out by the N. A. A. C. P. This paragraph follows: "I hope that you get my angle. Nelson and his gang were secretly knifing you just as much as they were the other men when your attitude toward us was absolutely different to that of Mr. Layton, and they knew it. Not only that, but Nelson and others like him are seeking in every way possible to humiliate and criticise everyone of us who attempted to serve the party in this campaign, notwithstanding the fact that we spoke out only for those of you who had shown unquestionable friendliness to our race group." The break between the N. A. A. C. P. and Mr. Howard who is one of the few colored men appointed to positions by President Harding, is bound to redound to the public's benefit. Much in the way of light on the political activities of the N. A. A. C. P. and the Republican party is expected to turn up. CLASSIFIED Advertisements in this column—2 cents per word, for each issue.

Miss Elina Nelson of 202 P street northwest, gave a birthday party at her home on last Wednesday evening Defeat of Anti-Lynching Bill Arouses Press Defeat of Anti-Lynching Bill Arouses Press (Continued from page 1) disregard of the wishes of one-tenth of the population of the country? Is it the Democratic Party, who has made no pretense of political friendship, or the Republican Party, hypocritically professing friendship, while it stabbed in the back? "We always understood that this is a country where the will of the majority rules. Were it a measure the Republican Party keenly desired made into a law the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill would long since have been a statute. If a minority can enforce its will our science of government is a delusion and a snare. The minority should not, and does not rule, save when it affects the Negro. The colored people of the country are placing the blame for the failure of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill where it belongs—on the Republican Party." Atlanta Independent The Atlanta Independent is strong on the "Abandonment of the Dyer Bill." on the "Abandonment of the Dyer Bill." "The abandonment of the Dyer Bill by the republican majority in the Senate has caused sore distress and grief to all law-abiding and loyal Americans throughout the country, as well as a sore contempt for a majority who will yield to a prejudiced minority in an all so important matter. "The republican majority has broken faith with its constituency; has disappointed all law-abiding citizens who wish to see lynching wiped out of American life; and has by its activity, granted license to the mobists, while the democrats have by their stubborn opposition given sanction to the burning and lynching of human beings—and a little more history is made." Pittsburg Courier "It Did Not Pass" says the Pitts- burgh Courier: "But whatever is said by the reporters, the wise ones, and others, he fact remains that the Republican party has not kept faith. The fact remains that the Republican party should have passed the Bill when it was passing other Bills, at a time when Republican power was enjoying undisputed control. But it was the scheme of the Republicans to wait until the Democrats increased their strength and then let a Filibuster take the Senate by storm as a perfect alibi for the Negroes who are dumb enough to think the Democrats killed the Bill. The Courier holds the Republican party responsible for its own failure to keep its platform pre-election promises." Philadelphia Tribune "Proof of Barbarism" is way the Tribune of Philadelphia puts it: "Men who occupy positions of honor and trust, who have sworn to uphold law and justice at all times, who are willing to permit mob violence to continue are not fit to occupy positions as Senators. "The Republican leaders had an opportunity to fight for a just law as opposed to the Southern demagogues who were against the Dyer-Anti-Lynching Bill. They were unable to do their duty. Another opportunity was lost to defend to the limit the good name of America. Real men are needed in the Senate." Dallas Express "The Republicans can pass the Dyer Bill. Filibusters notwithstanding they should fight for it "till snow flies." The country needs it. Circum-sances demand it. It will prove as great a boon to America as any law which has ever been put upon its statute books." Baltimore Afro-American In "The Death of The Anti-Lynching Bill" The Afro-American refers to the Constitution: "The Constitution of the United States is a dead letter so far as the Negro citizen living in the South is concerned. Any attempt to enforce it is regarded as "a violation of states' rights." In fact reason and truth are so perverted in Dixie that it becomes Unconstitutional to enforce the Constitution." New York Amsterdam News "Lynching Must Stop" says The Amsterdam News. "But the Dyer Bill is not yet dead. It still lives in the hearts and minds of all who favored it. Every victim of mob violence, both the innocent and the guilty, cries out to God for its passage. The constitution of the United States demands its enactment into law. Keep up the cry: "Lynching must stop!" Philadelphia Public Ledger The "Public Ledger" of Philadelphia grasps the situation in the following paragraph: "The real tragedy in the situation lies in the raising of false hopes in the minds of a people struggling up from slavity, handicapped by hostility and prejudice, discriminated against in industry as well as in politics and betrayed by the politicians who have pretended to befriend and protect them. It were suicidal to disguise the serious possibilities that may flow from a course so cruel and misguided or to overlook the fundamental truth that only by establishing justice and fair play can the relations between the races be maintained on a basis of mutual respect and good feeling." New York Nation Of particular significance is the comment of "The Nation" (New York), which is edited by Oswald Garrison Villard, one of the highest officers in, and the real directing head of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. This organization for the past two years has made the enactment of this law its chief slogan. During the organization's fight for the bill it spent large sums of money in advertisements in some of the leading daily newspapers, in the publication of pamphlets, telegrams and letters to senators and representatives and for speakers who have stumped the country in behalf of the measure. The utterances of "The Nation" may be regarded as forecasting the probable future attitude of the N. A. A. C. P., toward Federal anti-lynching legislation. "The Nation", said, in part: "The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill is dead; long live the next anti-lynching bill! The Republican leaders, whose only interest in the bill was a desire to pacify their Negro constituents, surrendered—as, according to Washington rumor, had been prearranged—to the blustering filibuster of the Southern Democrats. . . . When the colored people make their next effort at self-protection we hope they will not rely again upon the old guard Republicans but will seek the aid of the progressive group. Senator Borah, who believed against, his will that the Dyer bill was unconstitutional, might be willing to lend his aid in discovering an even more satisfactory method of Federal protection."

E. B. DuBois is the greatest Negro present day notable. I think so because he well represents his race. He is editor of the Crisis a magazine backed by the N. A. A. C. P. an organization which fights for the Negro. In this magazine he publishes what he thinks of the treatment given the Negro by the white man. Sometimes he is in favor of the treatment but generally he is opposed to it. Mr. DuBois upholds education for the Negro. He thinks they should be well trained mentally as well as industrially. He also thinks the Negroes of the South should have every right as citizens, as the North has. Mr. DuBois fights for the rights of his fellowmen and seems to be proud of his race. He is striving to bring more freedom (especially to the South), peace, happiness, honor, and wealth to his fellowmen. We must take off our hats to Mr. W. E. B. DuBois the greatest Negro present day notable. By Beatrice Robinson, 14 The question asked, was, which of the men mentioned, do you think is the greatest, and why. This question is hard to answer, as all of them are widely known. But as the greatest, I have chosen, Rene Maran, a Negro from a French Province in Africa. His book, "Batouala," a novel of Negro life, so strange, so powerful and so unusual won the Prix Goncourt, a medal awarded by ten members of the Academie Goncourt, (France), for the gardless of color. There are 8,000 copies of this book selling a day in France and it is a sensational success in every country in which it has appeared. Mr. George W. Cloud, in the St. Louis Argus, said that: "Rene Maran, a full bloomed African Negro, has given the world, a piece of literature, which will be read 500 years from now." will be read, 500 years from now." For these reasons, I choose, Rene Maran, as the greatest present day notable. By George C. Morris, 11 I think Kelly Miller is the greatest Negro of this day, because he was the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts of Howard University and sent out a pledge to be signed by Negro youths which would bring up or raise the standard of the race as a whole, and make the boys and young men better men for their race and country. ANSWER TO HISTORY QUESTION FOR WEEK OF DECEMBER 9 By Violet M. Harris The Negro has done many, many, creditable deeds. The fifty-odd in- ventions patened by Lyates and G. T. Woods, are surely cherished by us. We are glad that, Mathew Henson, a colored man aided in the discovery of the North Pole; that Isaiah T. Mont- gomery founded Mound Bayou, in Mississippi. We are proud of the in- vention of the shoe repairing machine by Matzeliger; the starting of the newspaper by Russworm and last but not least, the interpreting of the emo- tions of the Negro, by Dunbar. Yet, it seems to me, that another accompli- ment of a Negro, excels even these; that is, the founding of Tuskegee Institute by Booker Washington. I feel that this is a greater accomplishment because through an institute of learning, one receives an edu THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1922 cation, which, as we all know, is the foundation of the best work. Hence Booker T. Washington laid the foundation upon which the other inventions depend for improvement. BILLY BOY Did you ever stop to think just what it means to have pride? Of course you have. Billy Boy was a little chap who had heaps and heaps of pride. He was proud of his mother and he helped her with her work. He was proud of his dad and he would do all he could to prove to his dad that he was proud of him. He was proud of little sister Nel and big sister Mary and of brother Floyd. They were all very, very proud of Billy Boy too. Billy Boy was very dark. He had large eyes, a large nose, thick lips, and what is called kinky hair. He had a big heart, a kind smile, a twinkle in his eyes. He was fond of flowers, good music and of his dog Rags. Billy Boy's family lived on Franklin street. They were the only Negroes who lived on this street. Right around the corner lived lots and lots of Negroes. Some were good and some were bad. In the white neighborhood there were good people and bad people. The only difference Billy Boy could see in people was that some were good white or colored people, and some were bad white or colored people. No matter what he heard bad about Negroes which was published in the newspapers he always said. or asked: "God made us all," or "Didn't God make us all?" --- One day while Billy Boy was sitting on his front steps an old woman whose head was gray and whose clothes were ragged and much soiled, came toddling down the street. When she neared Billy Boy she stopped and said, "Hi, sonny, Kin auntie sit down here and res'?" "Sure," said Billy Boy, moving over to make room for her. "What might they call you sonny?" asked the old woman. "Billy Boy. Why do you ask?" "I have a grandson about your age, P'rhaps yo' know him. Dey calls him Tatters." "Tatters? Sure I know Tatters. He comes by here on his way to the dump every day. Is he your really truly grandson?" “Yes. His pa an' ma lef' him when he was ‘but fo' month's ole and' I's been taking keer o' him all dese years. He's smart, too. Smart as a steel trap. He picks mo' cinders dan any an' count an' write, an' he learned it all hisself. Is yo smart?” “Well, I can read and write and do arithmetic. I sift ashes every Friday evening but I'm not crazy about doing it.” “Shucks, chile, cant yo' do nothin' else?' asked the old woman with a twinkle in her eye. “Oh, yes ma'am. I can do lots of things. I help mother and dad and my sisters and my brother.” “Do you live with your mother?” “Indeed I do.” “Suppose some day she gets old and ugly like me—” "Are yo' sho?" "Sure I'm sure. I love her now, I've always loved her and I'm going to always love her." "Let us hope so," said the old woman seriously. "Always love your mother. She is your best friend. She'll do fer yo' when no one else will. Stick by her an' be proud o' her. When she gits ole an' feeble an' can hardly make it—keep on being proud o' her. No matter what yo' eber becum, be proud o' mother." (Concluded by Leona Harris, 14) "Yes, Ma'am, I will." About three years after this old woman had talked to Billy Boy his father died. His mother was old and ugly. One day while Billy Boy was playing in the yard with his little sister Nel he heard his sister Mary say to hisbrother, "Mother is old and feeble now. Let us get up early in the morning and put on our clothes and go to the country and live. I am afraid of her. She is too ugly for me. Thursday when I was sitting at the table mother said, 'Mary I want you to wash my clothes they are all soiled and ragged. Look at my apron it is ragged and soiled.' I got up from the table and went out doors.' Her brother agreed to her plan. The next morning when Billy Boy awoke they had gone. He felt very sorry but he only said, "God bless us all." When his mother asked for Nel and Floyd he told her what he had heard. She burst into tears. "O mother dear, do not worry, I will take care of you. You will never get ugly for me," said Billy Boy. He was now fifteen years old. It was near Thanksgiving. One day he went to his little sister who was twelve years old and said, "I want you to stay with mother while I go out and work." "All right," replied his sister. He worked very hard and made fifteen dollars. Friday he went to his mother and said, "Mother wouldn't you like to have a new warm coat for winter?" "Yes, Billy Boy, I would. Why did you ask me that?" his mother asked, "Because, I want to try to make you happy," he replied. On Thanksgiving morning when his mother came down stairs she found the coat. Beside this was a big goose. When they went to dinner Billy Boy said, "If we only had Mary and brother with us we would give them some of our dinner." Billy Boy never let his mother go without any clothes or anything to eat, because he loved her and was proud of her. (Concluded by Sarah Frazier, 12) "Yes, Ma'am I will." The old woman hobbled off leaving Billy Boy to ponder to himself. After a while Billy Boy got up and went into the house to inquire if there were any chores to be done. There were none. Billy Boy went upstairs to Floyd's room to tell him about his conversation with Tatters' grandmother. On account of not feeling well Floyd was a bit impolite to Billy Boy and told him to go out and "leave him be." That night, in bed, Billy Boy pondered for a while over the words, "Always love your mother. She is your best' frien'" After a few years during an epidemic, of the "flu," Billy Boy's mother and father, died leaving sister Mary to care for and act as a mother to the smaller ones. Then circumstances changed, for Mary's heart turned cold toward the others when she married a young man and left the three children to struggle alone. Floyd was forced to stop school, and find work on a huckster's wagon. Nel and Billy were sent to an orphan asylum. After fifteen years of hard struggles the brothers and sisters regained their social standing. Floyd became a successful young doctor. Nel married a handsome young man. Billy Boy during this time had married and had a charming son and daughter of his own. During the winter, on cold, windy evenings when the wind was whistling through the trees, Billy Boy would gather his family around him and relate the story of his conversation with Tatters' grandmother, always stressing the point, "Always love your mother. She is your best' frien. She'll do for yo' when no one else will. Stick by her and be proud of her. When she gits ole an' feeble and can hardly make it—keep on bein' proud o' her. No matter what yo' eber becum, be proud o' mother". HOW THE WORLD Anna, a fair faced girl of fifteen was of very rich parents. It was the wish of her parents that she associate with rich children only and look upon poor children as beggars. More than that, Anna was not even allowed to speak to her poor neighbors' children. Although forced by her parents to act in such a haughty manner, this rich girl had hidden within her a kind heart. Her only wish was to help poor people. It seemed as though her wish would never come true, for her parents were constantly lecturing to her how to scorn the lower classes. At that time he town talk was about how scornful Anna was. Whenever she passed a group of youngsters all kinds of indecent comments were made. This really wounded the girl's heart to think that she was practically misunderstood by the younger set and of course the older people had the wrong opinion of her. One night very early after withstanding many comments during the day, Anna began to think deeply. The very next day she conferred with her mther about her friendship with poorer children. Turned away by her mother, the girl decided to do as she wished regardless of her parents. Indirectly she changed the bad opinions of everyone. This great change was made by the simple writing of a book. In this book Anna made many true statements concerning her own life. The last paragraph was as follows: "I suppose there are many other you. said you was went twelve you to and made people in the world like myself, who are misunderstood. These people have my sympathy, for I know how it is to stand in similar shoes. As for me, I am a friend to the universe. When I think of love, I think of everyone, from the poorest child to the richest ruler. No longer will I scorn any person regardless of their circumstances. From now on I will not be misunderstood."

Included in this number is Albert A. Smith, who, having won many prizes in America, is seeking new laurels in Paris, Luxemburg and Italy. We ought to know more about Smith and his work; we ought to feel proud of him and his accomplishments. Some of his work has already been exhibited in the Paris salon. Born in 1896, Smith, early in life, terminated upon a career of art and bent his every effort toward that end. Passing over his public school activities, he entered the DeWitt Clinton High School of New York in 1911, from which he won a scholarship to the Ethical Culture Art School, being the first Colored boy to win such an honor. In 1915, he entered the National Academy of Design, and it was while in this school that Smith began to attract attention as one of the most promising artists of his time. He had hardly completed the routine of matriculation when he won the Suydan Bronze Medal in the still life class and the following year he was awarded the same medal for charcoal work in the life class. "Plantation Melodies," an etching reproduced some time ago in the Brownies' Book, won for him the second prize in 1918. In July, 1918, Smith enlisted in the army and served with the American Expeditionary Forces until July of 1919, when he was honorably discharged. He then re-entered the National Academy of Design and won the John Armstrong Chaloner Prize for a painting from life. Noting the artists under whom he has studied, Albert A. Smith is probably the best equipped Negro artist today. He studied painting under Douglas Volk and Charles C. Curran; etching, under Auerback-Levy, considered by many critics the best portrait etcher in America; mural decorations, under Kenyon Cox; composition, under R. L. Forkum, and literature, under Miss Irene Wier, neice of Alden Wier, the great painter. At the last Tanner Art League Exhibition, in Washington, Smith was awarded a gold medal for his etchings. His etching of Rene Maran, reproduced in the October Crisis by the publisher, Thomas Selzer, is another recent piece of his work. He is now working on a collection of portrait etchings of noted Negroes, which will include Pushkin, Coleridge-Taylor, Dunbar, Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, Bishop Richard Allen, Booker Washington, Phillis Wheatley, Toussaint and Dumas. When completed this collection will be the most outstanding contribution to his race ever made by a Negro artist. —KELLEY'S MAGAZINE SOME GOOD RULES 1.

HOMAGE TO THE COLORED HEROES WHO FELL IN THE DEFENSE OF THE LIBERTY When the Creator made men, He made the men of the Sun and the men of the Ice, the Dark and the White. Then stretching His Divine hand, He blessed them saying: "Love one another!!" For a long time, for a very long time, the Dark and the White men remain deaf to the Creator's word. They did not save one another. But one day, the coloured men heard that the white men were engaged in a great fight and that all the wonderful things which they had created and built in their great cities of stone were in danger. They understod that their white brethren, the French, were right, a that the enemies of the French were wrong, and that the liberty of the good was threatened by the violence of the wicked. The coloured men then answered the call and, spontaneously, they hastened to Europe to join and defend their brothers. The struggle of iron, fire, water and gas was frightful, infernal and yet sublime. But the God of Battles is just. He gave the victory to the good, because they were good and also because they had obeyed His word: "Love one another." And now that Victory has come to crown with glory the valiant and to save the just, it is a bounden duty to the children of men to render homage to those who have given their lives and to those who made their names illustrious. That is what the French have not forgotten to do. Gratitude is the flower of honest hearts. Numerous and wonderful are the deeds worthy of being commemorated. Unhappily we cannot know and recount them all. However beautiful the leaves of the forest may be, we can admire but a small number of them: the sun shines on some, others remain in the shade. Being of a straightforward nature, having a deep feeling of justice, the coloured man wished to fight for Right and Liberty by the side of his brother in arm. But what could he do though armed, in a war of methods of which he knew not himself? He proved himself a wonder-how soldier, very devoted to his chiefs, unfailing fidelity to duty, to and to his flag. Besides had he already been the glorious and war "Turco" of 1870? More Senegalese Tirailleurs, especially, had recently proved that they were great soldiers to the death, without flinching. (To be concluded next week) 1.

FOR THE TEACHERS OR THE CHILDREN? There is a question in the minds of the parents of this city as to whether the public schools of this city are run for the welfare of the children or the benefit of the teachers? The schools are crowded and any number of classes run only half a day. The children unfortunate enough to be placed in the afternoon classes have suffered the loss of three hours this week, by dismissing their classes at three instead of four-thirty. The excuse for this was the calling of the teachers for a "conference." Why do the children have to lose their precious time to accommodate the teachers for a "conference?"" Speaking to a principal recently about the disorder on the play ground of her school, she replied: "We cannot require the teachers to give their time by policing the grounds during recess." There are more than a thousand children at this school and fights are frequent on the play ground and in the streets adjacent. For whom is this school run, the comfort and benefit of the teachers or the welfare of the children? THE LARGER TRIBUNE The enlarging of The Tribune from six to seven columns was finally accomplished last week. A column to each page gives the subscribers eight columns more space. Measured in inches, it adds 160 more inches and we are not asking any increase in the price of the paper. We have received any number of compliments on the improvement by the addition of more space and in the make-up. We thank our many well-wishers and friends for their compliments and continued support, and we are planning another improvement in size and service with the year. The Tribune is the result of a vision only partially fulfilled. THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE The message read by the President before the joint session of Congress last Friday, was very good as far as it went, but it did not go far enough. The Ship Subsidy, the conditions of the railroads and the betterment of the farmers are all very important. That the president did not say a word to Congress about the fact that this country has outstripped all the countries of the civilized world for lawlessness, mobbings and lynchings, is an outstanding failure of the message. Of course the President is entitled to his thots and opinions, and the fact that he did not mention the progress that the Ku Klux Klan and other marauders are making against the laws, life and liberty of this country bespeaks his lack of thot or opinion on this important matter. What can be of more importance to the President of the United States of America than human rights? From September 1, 1920 to June 1, 1922, there were 175 persons murdered by mobs in the United States. Only 96 people were killed in the Knickerbocker Theatre disaster last January, but what a fuss was made over that. There were 51 persons tarred and feathered while 127 were cruelly beaten in this same period and there were more than 500 persons forcibly driven from their homes in violation of their constitutional rights. Not Germany, nor Russia, nor even Turkey, has any such record of lawless mob action—and this in Christian America. But the Christian President was not sufficiently impressed with this record of outrages, crimes and mobocracy to call the attention of Congress to this uncivilized condition constantly growing upon the country. If the oath-bound officers of the Government do not uphold the constitution of the country how can we expect the laymen to respect and keep the laws? The President's message was a signal failure in the matter of the protection of human rights. It was strong on the protection of the vested interests of the country.

C., in the ownership of what is proving to be one of the biggest money-making enterprises ever launched in this city. This enterprise is no experiment now. Its money-making possibilities are proven facts. Listen. Last summer, starting late in the season with inexperience and 47 rainy days and other serious drawbacks to its credit, the Capital Coaster Company took in from its concessions at Suburban Gardens $24,390.00. It should more than double this amount next season. On its major concession, the Gravity Coaster, or Scenic Railway, costing $30,000 to install, it now owes only $5,295.60. This Scenic Railway covers nearly a full mile in length, and carries two cars of 16 passengers each, completing each trip on an average of $1½ minutes, or 1280 passengers per hour at a charge of 15 cents for each passenger, taking in $220 an hour. "I HAVE SEEN THIS ONE DEVICE TAKE IN NEARLY $1,000.00 IN A SINGLE DAY," says W. L. Board, Vice-President of the Company. G Aerial Swings at Suburban Gardens, owned by Capital Coaster Company The Aeroplane Swings and the Dodgem, also owned by this Company, are fast money-makers. Other instances could be cited indicating the immense profits that will come from the operation of these concessions, but— What interests you most - Can You Reap A Portion of These Profits For Yourself? Yes, if you ACT OUICKLY. The directors of the Capital Coaster Company have authorized the sale of 500 shares of its capital stock at par, $10 a share, to the first applicants. You can pay all cash for the number of shares you subscribe, or you may pay monthly in five equal installments. The money received from the sale of these shares will finish all payments on the Coaster, so that next season the net receipts taken in on this ride will go toward PAYING DIVIDENDS TO STOCKHOLDERS according to the number of shares each may own. The officers and Trustees of this Company are well-known successful business men with George A. Robinson as President, a realty holder, the proprietor of a chain of eight prosperous barber shops, the Treasurer of, and Director in the Standard Investment and Development Co., Inc., and other leading concerns; Dr. W.
