SPRINGFIELD, OHIO WINNING IN B AGAINST JIM CR Charges Against Alleged R Up Teachers Dismissed. mined To Fight Springfield, Ohio. (Special)—With the acquittal of Waldo Bailey of a charge of rioting in connection with the fight on Jim crow schools here, and the nolle proxising of similar charges against thirty other colored people, coulped with the dismissal of City Manager Parsons, by the City Commission, the people of the city have won one of the greatest victories in the history of the race. The dismissal of City Manager Parsons came as a direct result of the bitter fight the Civil Rights Protective League waged against him. It is alleged that Mr. Parsons has been spending over $700 a month of the city's money to furnish police protection to the out-lawed teachers who have been teaching in the Fulton School, (the school the Board of Education has been trying to set aside for the colored children), and in transporting the teachers to and from the school. Parsons gave Superintendent of Schools McCord all the assistance he could and thereby precipitated the fight on him which cost him his job The City Commissioners elected City Clerk Wm. Mahoney to fill Parson's place. With the acquital of Waldo Bailey and the nolle prossing of the other cases, the Civil Rights Protective League has won every case in their fight so far against the Jim Crow school. Their other victories was the decision of Judge Geiger in the Court of Common Pleas overruling the demurrer of the Board of Education in answer to the Civil Rights Protective League's petition for a permanent injunction against the board and the acquittal of Dr. Keller on a charge of rioting. It was charged that Waldo Bailey on November 7th jumped onto the running board of an automobile in which some teachers and the principal of the Fulton School were riding and attacked them. In the general fight that followed the teachers and principal, as well as several policemen, were beaten. Over thirty colored people were arrested but let out on bail. The defense while admitting that Bailey jumped on the car, denied that it was with any attempt at assault. In the jury that acquitted Bailey were three colored men and nine white men. The jury was out only thirty minutes. So bitter has the feeling grown, against the colored women who consented to teach in the jim crow Fulton School and against the principal, Prof. Bullock, of Knoxville College, that the homes of Springfield have been practically closed to them. Wherever they have appeared in public they have been ridiculed and jeered at. They have been called traitors to the race. It is simply because of these teachers that the school is kept open, as only a very few parents are sending their children to the school. At the regular meeting of the Civil Rights Protective League last week, several white speakers addressed the League. The work of the league was praised to the highest. One of the speakers was Thomas J. McCormick, a well known Irish attorney of this city. Attorney Sully Jaymes, chief counsel for the League, declared the determination of the people to continue the fight until victory is won. The women pickets were praised highly for their work. The Board of Education was severely criticised for their part in trying to force jim crow schools on the colored people. The Social Service Bureau of the city is refusing assistance to the children who are not attending the Fulton School, so the League has decided to do the social work among the people who are remaining loyal. They gave a Christmas tree to the children and hundreds of them turned out. The spirit the children manifest in the surprise.

UNIVERSAL LAND COMPANY ELECTS NEW DIRECTORS Board Renders Stockholders Financial Report of the Year's Business The annual stockholders meeting of the Universal Development and Loan Company was held in the 12th Street Branch of the Y. M. C. A., Monday evening, January 2nd, at which time annual reports were made and eleven directors elected. A large representation of stockholders was present. Two directors were elected to fill unexpired terms and nine to fill terms of one-third of the board which expires each year. The only changes made in the personnel were the election of Messrs. Benjamin Ford, John A. Simms and Clarence E. Lucas to succeed Messrs. Chas. E. Lane, Sr., J. W. Burrell and J. Finley Wilson. The Call Board of the Company is named by Joshua N. Anderson, E. R. Beckley, W. L. Board, Nobel Brooks, S. M. Dudley, Jas. G. Dickerson, L. E. Dogans, Frederick Fitchett, Benjamin Ford, Abraham Gates, R. H. Hamilton, Edward Holland, John A. Hyder, W. W. Holman, Logan Johnson, M. S. Koonce Clarence E. Lucas, R. O. Mason, John H. Paynter, E. E. Pierce, A. S. Pinkett, Caleb Queen, J. E. Rattley George A. Robinson, John A. Simms J. H. Washington, and H. D. Woodson. The president's report was a full review of the year's work with an encouraging prospect for the opening up of the new subdivision in the early part of the present year. The secretary's report was accompanied by a printed financial statement which was distributed to the stockholders, copies of which will be mailed to absent stockholders. After hearing the reports of the officers the administration was endorsed by an overwhelming vote at a ratio of 5 to 1. The dying embers of past disaffection flickered faintly and pettered out. The forces of disruption which for the past year have striven to discredit the administration and injure the company, received unmistakable evidence that their conduct did not meet the approval of men and women whose money is invested. A tracing of the subdivision was presented with land laid off in conformity with the original plans. When the trustees of the company and the commissioners of the District of Columbia shall have affixed their signatures the directors will call a special meeting of the stockholders and award the coveted lots to those who are to receive them. This will probably take place in the present month. With the excellent headway made by the company in the past year it now seems certain that building operations will be begun in the early spring. Among the very encouraging steps taken by the company during the past year is the permanent employment of an experienced accountant and the installation of a modern system of bookkeeping. It was this modern and up-to-date method of doing things which enabled the directors to present each stockholder with a printed financial statement. the conversations or discussions are ended you hear the determined expression that has marked the light of the Legane so far: "We will not quit until we win."

There will be both morning and afternoon sessions. The program for this year will be one of the most interesting in the history of the institute. The committee in charge of the institute this year is composed of Prof. E. A. Clark, chairman; M. L. Mason, secretary; G. L. Burke, treasurer; E. B. Hall; B. M. Clark; J. F. Gregory. Assistant Superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson of the city schools will preside at the morning session which will convene at 9:30 a.m., Friday. At 9:45 the principal address will be delivered by Dr. Frank P. Graves, State Commissioner of Education, Albany, New York, on "Educational Movement of the Day," Dr. Frank W. Ballou, Superintendent of schools, of Washington, will make a few remarks. At 11 o'clock Dr. Henry Lewis Smith, president of Washington and Lee University will talk on "The Teacher's Personality." The afternoon session will open at 1:45. Dr. P. O'Connell Professor of History at Morgan College in Baltimore, will deliver the principal address on "Character, the Best Product of Education." All teachers of the 10th and 13th divisions and the public are invited to attend. The musical numbers on the program will be rendered by Prof. Roy. W. Tibbs, Miss Carolyn Grant, Miss Mandelene Coleman, and Miss Eva Dykes. Miss Cromwell Appointed The head of the department of English and History for the Senior and Junior High Schools of the tenth to the thirteenth divisions will be filled by Miss Otelia Cromwell, the eldest daughter of Prof. John W. Cromwell, Sr. Miss Cromwell is now instructor in English at the Armstrong Manual Training school. Upon the resignation of Miss Harriet E. Riggs, last June, the assistant superintendent asked Miss Cromwell to accept the position. She has been six months deciding, and informed Mr. Wilkinson, Wednesday that she would accept the position. Miss Cromwell graduated from Miner Normal, then took her A. B. degree at Smith College for girls, in Massachusetts, being the first colored girl to finish from that college. In 1910 she received the degree of A.M., from Columbia University. In the meantime she spent the year of 1905 studying in Germany and last year she spent in the graduate school of Yale, being the first colored woman to enter that particular school. Miss Cromwell is the first colored teacher in the District to be promoted to the Class 6-B classification on examination, which means superior work. She has that reticence that goes with refinement, and dislikes publicity, and therefore is hard to interview. The head of the Department of English and History is the outstanding appointment next to the principalship of the high schools. Since the fall term began, Prof. Neval H. Thomas has been assigned to this department. egates to League Asking that the Made Negro Contested for Seats a on, but Succeeded in Ge sent Their Petition to L A meeting under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association was held at the Turner Memorial Church corner of 5th and P streets, northwest, on the evening of December 27. The purpose of the meeting was to allow the delegates of the U. N. I. A., to the League of Nations, at Geneva, Switzerland, to address the public and tell what they had accomplished as delegates, before the League of Nations. The speakers were Mesars, Jean Joseph Adams, and Sir James O'Meally. The first speaker was Mr. O'Meally, who stated that his home is in Kingston, Jamaica, and that when he tried to come to New York to attend the U. N. I. A., Convention, the American Consul at Jamaica, refused to vise his passport; and it became necessary for him to travel to Paris, France, where he met the other members of the delegation to the League of Nations in that city. From Paris the delegation consisting of Jean Joseph Adams, Sir James O'Meally, G. O. Marks, and William Sherrill, journeyed to Geneva, Switzerland, where the League of Nations was in session. After arriving at Geneva, the delegation proceeded to interview the different delegates to the League of Nations, as well as the Secretary to the League, Sir Eric Drummond. The photos of these interviews was to explain the mission or their delegation, which was to present to the League a petition asking that the German possessions in East Africa now under protectorate of the League, to be turned over to the Negro peoples of the world. The delegation was told they could not be seated as they did not represent any country or nation. The delegation then endeavored to have Dantes Bellegarde; the delegate from Haiti to present their petition before the League. After briefly outlining the objects for which the League of Nations stands, and telling what the various nations wanted from the League, and how their petition was the only one of three thousand five hundred petitions presented, not represent accredited nations which was actually accepted as an official document of the League of Nations, he concluded his remarks by saying that Mr. Adams would explain what the delegation had accomplished. The next speaker was Jean Joseph Adams, who said he was Secretary to the U. N. I. A. delegation, and that he was from Haiti, and that he met the delegation in Paris. The day after arriving in Geneva they visited Sir Eric Drummond, Secretary to the League of Nations, discussing their mission to Geneva. One of the questions asked him was, "Why are the negroes of America dissatisfied?" He replied that not only were the negroes of America dissatisfied, but that there was universal dissatisfaction among Negroes all over the world. Sir Eric Drummond asked the secretary of the delegation, how many members there were in his organization his reply was, six million. Sir Eric then told him that the petition was too strongly worded to present to the League; and Mr. Adams replied that "the only way our organization has reached the place it occupies today is by the use of strong words." Sir Eric then told him that since he had come from such a great distance, he would assist him all he could. As a result of many communications with various members of the League, and after many meetings, his delegation was seated at the League of Nations Conference. Their troubles the began in the effort to have their petition presented to the League, and after much difficulty, this was accomplished; the petition being presented by the delegate from Persia, who in his native land is a Prince. He said the petition was now an official document of the League of Nations, and would be reported upon at the next meeting of the League. He said he was told that if the Negroes would send a competent man to the next meeting of the --- SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, 1923 ue of Nations German East Country t Geneva Conference. etting Persian Prince league. School Board To Fight For Beauty Course Organic Act to be Cited Before the District Commissioners. The organic law of 1906, governing the schools of the District was cited by Dr. Abram Simon, president of the Board of Education, at its regular meeting Wednesday, as authority for the Board to direct expenditures for school purposes. The requisition for $321.25 for supplies of the department of manicuring and shampooing, at the O Street Vocational school for girls was denied by the Commissioners, and the School Board holds, that it, and not the Commissioners, has authority for the expenditure. A committee composed of James T. Lloyd, Wm. L. Houston and D. J. Cailahan was appointed Wednesday to wait on the Commissioners, calling their attention to the organic law of 1906. This is the first time that a requisition for school supplies has been refused by the Commissioners, therefore, the result of the meeting of the committee with the Commissioners is in the nature of a test and will be awaited with interest. The need of the course was pointed out by several speakers, who said that it was not intended as a "beauty course" but as instruction for "an honorable and necessary vocation by which some students could later earn their livelihood." Assistant Superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson said: "Although the Commissioners have refused this allowance, I have not changed my opinion as to the merits and needs of the course." Dental Graduates Making Good Washington, D.C.—According to reports which have been received, the work of three Howard Dental graduates who are serving an internship in the Forsyth Dental Infirmary, Boston, Mass., the first institution to be established in this country for the free treatment and care of children's teeth, is worthy of much praise. In the recent efficiency examination in which forty-four of the fifty internes at this infirmary participated and only thirteen passed, three of these successful participants were the three Howard men now serving at the infirmary. The three Howard Dental graduates are: Doctors Armobi B. Donowa; Paul H. Alexander, and John Chiles, all three were members of the Class of 1922 of the Howard University School of Dentistry. Dr. Donowa is at present chief operator of the X-ray clinics and checks up the work of all root canal operators. Dr. Chiles was senior operator in extracting clinic and is at present senior operator of extracting clinic in the afternoon. Dr. Alexander has had the honor of being assigned to three major clinics, was senior operator in orthopedic clinic and at present is senior operator in extracting clinic in the morning. Dr. Donowa enjoys the reputation of being the best interne on the staff. The fifty interes at the Forsyth Dental Infirmary represent the follow- League, there would be no hesitancy in accepting him as a member of the Mandate Section. He closed his remarks by saying the Swiss delegate promised to do all he could to assist him when the petition was reported or acted upon at the next meeting. Dangers That Lie Ahead Pointed Out.

Racial portents are ominous. The rising tide of color threatens to engulf us. The problem is becoming more complex and perplexing. Unless the Negro's courage rises with danger the cause will be lost through timidity and cowardice. The welfare of the ten million Negroes in the United States is less well safe-guarded through self-directive leadership than that of any other group of similar size and advantage in the world. There is the widest margin between what is and what ought to be. Loudsome boasting of our present attainments blinds us to the magnitude of things yet to beained. This gap can be bridged by wise guidance and direction incoming of the new year emphasizes our delinquency. Within the next half generation there is going to be a tremendous change in the scheme of race adjustment. Whether this is to be for the better or for the worse depends upon the initiative, the courage and the wisdom which the Negro displays. The present tendency is in the wrong direction. Forces and influences now at work if unchecked will fix him for good in a helpless and hopeless position. Instant action is demanded. Hesitancy is dangerous. Delay may prove fatal. The time is fully pipe for a race conference to deliberate upon the serious phases of the problem, and as far as practicable, to formulate a platform of principles and a program procedure. The Negro group has special and peculiar interests and relations in finitely more serious and vital than any other subordinate element into which our population is divided. The peculiar problems of the foreigner are temporary and limited to one generation. The Jew is isolated only in religious and semi-religious relations of his own makng and preference. The Catholic differs from the Protestant only in the mode of worship. The Negro alone is separated from the rest of the nation by the whole diameter of social difference which entails the regulation of all of the essential intimacies of life. This regime is imposed upon him. He didn't make and he cannot unmake it. Special and specific racial interests require as thoughtful and as wise deliberation as the Congress gives to the affairs of the Nation. And yet today we have no adequate or competent body to give our issues comprehensive and statesmanlike consideration. At present the various interests and activities at work in the field are absorbed in their own objectives and are wholly without efficient coordination or union of aim and purpose. The waste and friction are inexcusable. The demand for a nation-wide conference is imperative. This conference should not be fostered by any one organization, but every type of agency or interest now at work should unite upon a call to consider "The state of the Race." Political movements such as the N. A. A. C. P., the Equal Rights League, the Lincoln League, the Race Congress; religious bodies like the National Baptist Convention, the African Meth. Episcopal, the A. M. E. Z., the C. M. E., and the M. E. churches, as well as those of smaller numbers; moral and social agencies such as the Y. M. C. A., the Y. W. C. A.; business and economic agencies like the Business League, the Urban League; educational associations, fraternal organizations, the Federation of Women's Clubs, the Press Association, and all well established movements of wide ramification should be (Continued on page 4) S FAVORITE LOCAL STARS be Exchanged at the Box Offi HOWARD THEATRE on to the Votes Received when Amission Tickets.

On it was drawn Rock Creek, which was labeled “Chinese Wall,” “You (the people of Gergetown) are on the other sideof Rock Creek and |therefore outside, of Washington, hence you cannot be served,” said the president, “nor can you have your table decorated.” . . . reference to the |desire of the people of Georgetown for a Junior High School and other needed Himprovements. | At this time the phone rang and |te president in answernig it said: |“Mr. Nelle, the Grand Master of | Masons wishes you a happy new year.” Mr. Nalle was a candidate for that |position in the recent election, but failed of election.

In Georgetown it would serve about 1,000. I think a school should be located where it will [serve ‘the greatest number and there- by serve the greatest good.” Dr. J. | Hayden Johnson, a member of the [school board passed the buck by say- ing that the matter had been brought [to the attention of the Board and he therefore, was not in a position to |speak until it had reached their atten- ition.

Race Leaders in: Con- fusion (From the Atlanta Independent), While deaders fight among ,them- selyes,, the, race's, interest suffers. We thank the Lord that we knowsof our own knowledge that we are apt a race leader, and. that nobody .aceuses us of such, For if there is any word in the economy of Negro life overworked, it is the office of race leader,, We do not know from where the, thtoucands of leaders of our race has, produced got their license, or how they, got it into their heads that, they. were leaders, ‘The Negro race is the only nace. that has a leader or leaders. Yon: hear of no leaders among the. whitas,of, this tountry or the reaple-of any osher country, Neither the Germans, French English, Portugese nor any other race group or nation Rave leaders: except cur people. We have as many lead- ers among us as we have colors. Other races may have political, financial, labor or religious leaders, but. no race leaders. And these leaders. among other race groups do not attempt to speak for their race, but for a political industrial or economie school vor 7re- ligious sect, In America we have first,of all. the self constituted appointed leader, who claims to speak fer the race....Then, the political self-appointee, who walks Ground with the vote of his group in his pocket and serves only himself. ‘Then comes the white folks, Negro leader, who bows and scrapes ‘to the whims and prejudices of the white man, and is rewarded by the White man designating him as leader. Then comes the os and one industrial school leade¥8, who -prey_uron_ the white public for a livelihood by talling the white man he is. eee Negroes to be good nts ~ ‘Neither of these groups of self ap- pointed leaders help. the race or contri- bute anything to the solution of every- day problems affecting Negro life. ‘The following are the groups o leaders which are destroying the solid arity: of the race in this country by ‘reason of fights for supremacy amon; ‘themselves: . First comes the political leader— the little Negro boss who plays ti ‘the republican party that “we are thé leaders and can, control our group.’ ‘This group camps around Washington slays the senators and congressmer during the sessions and the public during vacationsy They rank in im portance among themselves as named Henvy- Lincoln dohnson, Perry How. ard, and Robert R. Church, This tric considers themselves the politica spokesmen of the race through whom all patronage must come and if the adminixtration) recognizes anybody else it is an ingult to them. Then come the race fire brands an¢ agitators, among whom are William Monrog Trotter, W. J. Jernagin an¢ Joo Bibb. This bench is at variance with every other bunch in the country and fight and criticise everything the other groups do. ‘Then comes the National Associa. tion for the Advancement of Colore¢ People, which claims of right the ex- elusive, right to handle all questions affecting the race and takes offense i anybody eke undertakes to help the race along except through their ag. eney, and positively refuses to work with or co-operate with any other group of race leaders. They style themselves as the classic of race agi. tators and solvers of problems. If they’cannot settle a problem, them- selves, they would rather it would gc unsettled than for anybody else to have anything to do with it. ‘Then comes the Tuskegee influence, which is selected by the white in. fluences of the country, north and seuth, 48 the standard of Negro possi- bility’and the ideal of Negro develop: ment and capacity to do from the white man's view point. This group takes the credit. for every political consideration extended the race by the Harding administration. ‘Then ‘comes the aristocracy of al the leadership, which undertakes tc set the standard high. Among the leaders in this exclusive group are Dry-Emmett J Scott, Wm, L. Hous. ton, James A. Cobb and W. H; Lewis Essentially, this group are not poli- ticians and are not looking for any- thing for themselves; but contribute in a way to help keep confusion con \founded among the several groups o! leaders, and naturally find themselve: together as a logical sequence growing lout of the absolute and signal failure of the other groups to function help |fuuly for the race, | While thete groups sit around among themselves, each compliment ing itself because of itsmastery of the ‘situation and its special fitness and great ability to handle all racial problems, and criticising the other because of its brazen unfitness, the race’s interest goes to the bad in congrés8; the republican party com- pletes the work. of disfranchisement begun in the country by the demo- crats; the Negro ioses his standing as a political factor, north, south, east and west, while the groups of self- appointees scramble’ among them- selves for office, each with the motto hanging out, “If I can’t, you’ shan’t;” if we cannot put it over, you shall not put it overy if the other gang is to get credit for the Dyer Bill being passed, we would rather see it defeated We have done much and sacrificed much for the republican party in the race, and the sum total of what the groups have done and the gacrifices they have made are summed up as follows: First, we have made the sacrifice for the last quarter of a century of re- ceiving thousanrd of dollars in slush funds for campaign expenses from candidates at National Conventions quadriennially. ~~ Second, we have made the saevifice ‘of accepting offices from the republi- ‘can party at fat salaries for the last quarter of a century. / Third, we haye sacrificed ourselves ‘to receive all the party places and ‘political offices in our state, to. the ‘exclusion of everybody in the party but ourselves fori the last quarter of a century, | Fourth, we have taken all the offices for our dear selves and given our ‘constituency nothing, have been silent every time the public tit was put in four moyths, the interests of our con- stituents and our promises to them, jnotwithstanding. We haye made the sacrifice of taking everything we could |and giving nobody anything. We have taken all the money, all the jobs and all the party places, and when it got to the pace where we could not get anything, we traded the lily whites, in order to boost up our fallen cause. Verily, we have been burdened by ac- Icepting everything in reach ourselves | and giving nothing to our friends. VPAGH 1LtHREE The only Colored Graduate in Optics and Ophthalmology in Washingion, D.

Hence, with a veteran line in- tact, and two experienced ‘backfield men the prospects for another champ- ionship team at Morehouse College in 1922 are encouraging. In addition the entire second team whose members particpated in five games during the season will return intact.

Williams, the famous come- dian, heads the list, followed by the well known dramatic and movie actor, Walker Thompron, so long associated ‘with the Lafayette Players.

Death also claimed one of the oldest and best known managers and producers, especially jin the South, Eph Williams of “Silas Green from New Orleans” fame, leaving a large fortune. ‘There were several others that were nationally known who passed away during the year. Teal conditions have not been very encouraging. ‘Alhof the large houses have gone in for pictures interspersed with road shows or vaudeville bills; but none have a set policy or standard form of amusement. Of course the managers are not to blame, for at- tractions: are searee, As soon as a show or a vaudeville act attains a |reputation, it is gobbled up by white |managers. That is one of the reasons |why so many are left stranded, as |most of these managers have neither money nor experience. Vaudeville acts are faring much better since they do not have to deal with local managers but are booked through agencies. ‘Many burlesque shows and all the western circuits are using our aets. “Shuffle Along” is still leading in the musical comedy world closely fol- lowed by the new show “Liza.” Charles Gilpin in “Emperor Jones” is the king- pin in the dramatic field. The Quality Amusement Company disbanded, also the Dunbar Players, leaving only the Bishop Players headed by Andrew Bishop and Cleo Desmond who are doing fairly well. Out of the large number of shows that started last season, only about six are left. “Follow Me” is the big- gest winner still playing our, houses; and according to latest reports that is doomed to leave us soon.

BIG FOX PRODUCTIONS COMING TO THE LINCOLN Beginning Sunday and continuing four days, The Lincoln will present to its many patrons William Fox's, “A Fool There Was.” In “this remarkable prosentation, Lewis. S. Stone gives a remarkable portrayal of the fodl, that can be characterized as one of the best things that he has done. The scenes in which the fool is shown trying to break away from the entrancing woman ‘wlio holds him like a spell are exceptionally good. ‘The work of the supporting cast is excellent, and the picture has many wonderful interior scenes. Irene Rich, Muriel Franees Dana, Marjorie Daw, Mahlon Hamilton, Wallace McDonald, William V. Mong and Harry Lonsdale are the others who make up the cast. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday, another big Fox epecial, “My Friend the Devil” will be screened. “My Friend the Devil” is a pictorial version of Georges Ohnet’s celebrated novel, “Dr. Ramenu,” which has been widely read throughout the world, “My Friend the Devil” deals with the spectacle of a man who did not be- lieve in God. When he was little more than a child-hé prayed that his cruel step-father, who was_ill-treating the child’s mother, be killed and at that moment the mother was struck by lightning. “His belief was shattered.

And the strain on the feelings is lightened at times by stiuations calling for quiet chuckles rather than laughter. The dominating note is simplici- ty. Three of the four principals are small-town folks—the mother, her son and the latter’s sweetheart. ‘The acting opportunities lay with- in the quartet outlined. Virginia True Boardman is the Mother, and it is a fine and a feeling characterization she gives of a role containing pit- falls. She will reach the heart of the boy and of the man.

His role is that of a lad in love with a girl in his own town but also fascinav:d by a visiting show girl. secured by FIRST or SECOND DEED of TRUST on real estate.

The time has come for all to pull together. If we continue to pull apart, we will pull to pieces. ‘The whole is greater than any of its parts, The members of the body-can never cooperate properly unless they become consciously subordinated to the welfare of the body as a whole, It may be just as well to anticipate the objection that several such abor- tive attempts have been’made before. While no one of these efforts has been permanent each endeavor has left a residuum of lasting good. Many will recall the effort of Mr. Joel E. Spin- garn at a race conference at his summer home. If an alien to the group saw the necessity of formula- ting a common program, surely we must heed the self call to conference. ‘The Negro can no longer look to the white man for intimate advice and di- rection. No one outside of a group can regulate the intimate procedure for the inside, The white philanthro- pists have done a good part, The people who must be helped fotever are not worthy of being helped at all.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS “TARTAR!” 6“ ARTAR,” as applied to the wild tribes which inhabit middfe and cen- tral Asia, is one of those words in which a wrongly assumed derivation has modified the spelling and the very shape in which we now have it, for the people usually designated by this name are not “Tartars,” but “Taters.” The Interpolation of the “r” in the first syllable came about when’ these hordes burst into Europe during the Thirteenth century and swept everything before them. Many persons claimed that the ravages of the Invading cavalry constituted a fulfillment of the prophecy In the ninth chapter of Revelation concerning the opening of the bottomless pit and the loosing of the Inhabitants of the Infernal regions. From this belief en- sued the change of thelr name from “Taters” to“Tartars,” the latter beMng an outgrowth of Tartarus, or hell, whence these implacable hordes were sup- posed paghave come, Cr of the Invaders, togethe. \,."%.,thelr_ stole disre- gard for Bina the manner fn which they ¥@, yd upon their guards whef' captured, also gave rise to the expression “catch a Tartar” or “he caught a Tartar,” which Is In use to this day as @ synonym for being taken by surprise, particularly when- a person thinks that he has made ‘an easy conquest.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, JANUARY 6. 1923 EMANCIPATION AND THE FREED IN AMERICAN SCULPTURE FREEMAN HENRY MORRIS MURRAY (Editor's Note:--This week we are beginning the reprinting of Mr. Murray's book bearing the above title. To read a book without reading the introduction or the preface is like eating food without salt and pepper; hence to fully appreciate this book and understand the purposes which the author had in view in writing it, one must carefully read the preface which is published this week. Mr. Cromwell's Introduction will follow next week. We sincerely hope that you who have been reading books without first reading the preface, introduction or foreword will form the habit of doing so. You who skip over unfamiliar words, will find it a very profitable habit to refer to your dictionary when reading. In this study many unfamiliar terms are used which you should understand in order to better appreciate the book. It is good to read books, it is better to read and understand good books.) Preface This monograph is chiefly the expansion of papers which were read as lectures (illustrated by lantern slides) at the Summer School and Chautauqua of the National Religious Training School at Durham, N. C., in 1913. Some of the matter has also appeared in the A. M. E. Church Review. The expansion consists in the insertion of additional comment and explanation concerning the sculptures that were originally dealt with in the papers, and the inclusion of a few additional works more or less relate to the subject in hand. A few foot notes and references have been added and several somewhat extended notes have been placed at the end. In general, it has not been indicated what besides the notes are the additions and what the original matter. When preparing the manuscript for printing as a monograph, some changes in the wording were made in order to render the forms of expressions less direct and didactic. These alterations were perhaps not made as thoroughly and consistently as they should have been. Under the general title, "Black Folk in Art," I am gathering and arranging materials which I hope to publish in the form of other monographs. The plan contemplates covering the portrayal of Black Folk in art, and also their contributions to art, in ancient and in modern times. Concededly this is an ambitious undertaking. But surely it is a work that should be done or at least begun, by somebody. Seemingly, this monograph is published out of its proper chronological order, but a beginning had to be made somewhere, and, for reasons that need not be gone into, the phase of the matter treated herein seemed most nearly ready. It will be observed that the subtitle to this monograph reads: "A Study in Interpretation." That indicates one of the chief purposes that I have in view; and, notwithstanding a great deal of present-day prating about "art for art's sake," it is my intention to stand with those who hold that the most important feature of art it what is portrayed; agreeing with Tuckerman's dictum, "The first requisite [in art] is to have something worth saying." The great Ruskin has said: "Art's value is to state a true thing or to adorn a serviceable one." I think that, for certain occasions, Ruskin would not have objected to a little expansion of this to make it read: "Art's value is to state a true thing or to suggest a true thought," etc. Certainly, that is Art's power, if not its chief value. Hence, when we look at a work of art, especially when "we" look at one in which Black Folk appear—or do not appear when they should—we should ask: What does it mean? What does it suggest? What impression is it likely to make on those who view it? What will be the effect on present-day problems of its obvious and also of its insidious teachings? In short, we should endeavor to "interpret" it; and should try to interpret it from our own peculiar viewpoint. It is because of my conviction of the importance of interpretation and analysis—for what purports to be serious art, at the least—that I have imposed my own views so freely herein. Yet other opinions and interpretations have been liberally quoted. also regard for the contents of, as well as for the omissions from, art works, is especially important as to sculpture, because sculpture more frequently than painting serves higher purposes than that of mere ornament or of the mere picturing of something. Often it is designed to commemorate some individual or some event, or, particularly in the group form, its main purpose is to "say something." The fact is, nearly all sculptural groups, and a considerable number of individual statues, are based on some purpose beyond mere portraiture or illustration. Moreover, these commemorative and "speaking" groups generally stand in the open, at the intersections of the highways and in the most conspicuous places. We cannot be too concerned as to what they say or suggest, or what they leave unsaid. We can hardly press too strongly the importance of careful, perspicacious interpretation. I am convinced that, for Black Folk—in America, at least—this is of paramount importance. Under the anomalous conditions prevailing in this country, any recognition of Black Folk in art works which are intended for public view, is apt to be pleasing to us. But it does not follow that every such recognition is creditable and helpful; some of them, indeed are just the opposite. It is my purpose herein, to indicate, as well as I can, what I think are the criteria for the formation of judgments in these matters. It is not expected that the views herein stated upon meet with unanimous approval they are not important. If however, good had been and attempted analyzed childretd to encourage or to introduced other persons, candid statement and critical analysis in the matters now under consideration, one of my main purposes will be accomplished. It is perhaps not necessary to go further than simply to point out, that, what I have tried to stress herein—interpretation—is different from technical criticism. At the present time and for the present purpose, interpretation—which includes: intention, meaning, effect—is of such paramount importance, that I would not wish to distract attention from it by extensive technical criticism, even if I felt myself competent to indulge in such criticism. I wish that it were possible to state my indebtedness, and fully to express my gratitude, to the many persons who have given assistance and encouragement in this work. Some acknowledgements are made in the text and the notes and in connection with the pictures; but the full extent of my indebtedness is seldom indicated. Very deeply am I indebted to Professor John W. Cromwell of Washington, D. C., who will contribute an Introduction, and who has not only given me valuable advice, criticism, and encouragement, but has also looked over the proofs of the most of the pages as they were put into type. In justice to Professor Cromwell, however, it should be stated that very few, if any, of the errors, typographical and other, that have gotten into the printed pages, were in those proofs that passed under his trained eye. I am also deeply indebted to Mrs. M. V. Warrick Fuller, sculptress, of Framingham, Massachusetts, whose intelligent helpfulness, and whose knowledge in matters pertaining to art and art works, have been constantly at my service. Scarcely less than to the persons just mentioned, I am indebted to the Reverend Doctor Horace Bumstead, retired president of Atlanta University, whose assistance, rendered in so many ways, deserves far greater recompense than this mere acknowledgement. Among othel's whose assistance has been of especial value, the following persons, who, I believe, are not mentioned in the text nor in the notes, come to mind: Mr. A. D. Hervilly of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City; Mr. H. D. Lydenburg of the New York Public Library; Mr. Herbert Putnam, Librarian of Congress and Mr. George F. Bowerman of the Public Library, Washington City, and their courteous assistants; Mrs. Gerladine L. Trotter of the Boston Guardian; Professor R. R. Wright of Savannah, Georgia; and Mrs. Mae P. Smith Johnson of Jersey City; and also the "World's Work," magazine. There are others whose assistance has been of value mainly in phases of the work not strictly covered by this monograph. As to the illustrations, it should perhaps be stated that the reproductions herein are not to be regarded as indicative of the artistic and technical merits or demerits, actual or relative, of the various works of art which are pictured; this, if for no other reason, on account of the diversity of sources on which I have been obliged to draw. In most cases, all that may be claimed is, that the picture indicates more or less sufficiently the general form and appearance of the figure, or group, or panel under consideration. The work of locating and securing the pictures has been by far the most difficult and trying part of the undertaking; and the gratifying measure of success which has been attained is very largely due to the generous assistance of the persons whom I have named in this preface and elsewhere herein, and to a few others who have given me numerous fruitful clues. Finally: it may partially explain some matters connected with the arrangement and "make up" of this book, which otherwise might be puzzling, if I state that the gathering of materials and the "expansion" of the original papers have continued while the matter herein was being put into type (by my own hand, during spare hours) for more than a year.

When trouble seeks to mar your way, and clouds around you gather, press on! and you will gain the day; 'tis better late than never. Suppose you try this year anew, and from old habits sever, resolve a straight path to hew; 'tis bet-solve a straighter path to hew; 'tis better once than never! HOMAGE TO THE COLORED HEROES WHO FELL IN THE DEFENSE OF WORLD LIBERTY (Continued from last week) (Editor's Note: This is part of a notable document which was authorized by the French government, April 2nd, 1921.) During the Autumn, in September, 1914, the Tirailleurs coming from Orleansville and Laghouat were crossing Paris threatened by the enemy, to take part in the attack commanded by Gallieni on the enemy's flank. The sight of these fine fellows made them soon popular in the capital. At the front, they showed a power of resistance which all the wonderful citations and decorations proved, and they revealed also the real qualities of the soldier. The assembling of the company became for them a real family of which they felt they belonged and loved all its members. This family so well united formed a little social corps where the gay note was maintained by the stories and songs of the "Griot," who narrated stories and legends of Africa as well as the deeds of war of the Company and of its chiefs. The Captain was the father of this family. Many officers heard the Tirailleurs in their simple and touching language repeating to them: "Thou art my father! Thou art my mother!" And many times, as they went under the enemy fire to pick up and save their wounded officer, they proved these words were not in vain, but the real expression of their deep devotion. That is why since September 1914, at Dixmude, the Senegalese Tirailleurs of the Battalion of Brochout flanked by the enemy, proved themselves formidable and incapable of retreat. They were the equal of their battle comrades, our heroic Marine Fusiliers. Blow after blow, the two battalions were wiped out on the field of honour. This is related in a story full of interest by Major Alfred Guigard of the War Cabinet, who knows, loves and admires the coloured men: "The spirit of abnegation, the dark men had brought it from Africa. It is a part of their nature: they have it in their blood and it is a tradition of their race. Decided to perish, this is how those who fought at Dixmude prepared their death: Surrounded by the enemy, little by little, the battle rage, the intoxication of willing sacrifice raised them above themselves, a sacred wrath, a mystic and conta- gious hysteria possessed them, freeing the spirit from matter. The breath of Azrael passed over them, fusing their souls in a superhuman collective soul; then a thing happened which surpassed imagination, a veritable miracle. A reminiscence of ten thousand and years suddenly emerged from the undersoil common to the race, a mysterious call of the blood, who knows? But an elementary natural force seized, held and unified these supermen who, already were living in death. Progressively their voices hurling at the enemy anger, hatred and contempt in their hundred African dialects, became a simple melopoeia sprung from all languages and yet belonging to none. Of a powerful慧力, slow, slowly accelerated, formidable, terrible, this unknown hymn of war and death, suddenly born on that spot and that could be of this world but this once, filled the battle and dominated it. The wild majesty of it was so strange, so terrifying that it silenced the din. Dazed, the enemy listened in consternation. For one moment, a truce of religious terror reigned in which, alone, sprang from the earth the funeral 'paean of the morituri', but full of a sacred frenzy, carried away in ecstasy, they rushed, striking, killing, tearing out eyes and flesh with iron, nails and teeth. . . . To get rid of these mad demi-gods, the Germans brought what in Prussia is the ultima ratio regis: cannon. At a distance of fifty meters, grapeshot mowed down the dark flesh. Under the rain of shot dying for ever with the dead, the unique hymn grew fainter and fainter and then was silent. But it has a right to eternal echoes in history." The two battalions being wiped out, it was necessary to raise other men. Unfortunately, besides the troops previously trained and instructed that were found in Morocco and Algeria, that were able to fight and prove them selves as brave as the first ones, it was only possible to raise recruits having no military instruction. Surely there was always a lack of complete instruction and there is nothing surprising in this fact if we consider how sudden the improvisations were and how difficult were the realizations. However, these improvised coloured troops soon deserved to be shown as examples to their French brothers in arms." In a moment of difficulty, Captain Poupart, later on gloriously killed, addressing his "Poilus" cried out: "Boys, hold fast, see, the Senegalese comrades are holding their ground!" The worth of the coloured troops could be doubted no longer. It was decided to employ them at the Dardanelles. (Continued next week) LETTERS FROM OUR LITTLE FRIENDS Dear Editor: Although I have not been writing to the "Children's Page" I have been reading it every week. I am sending in a poem written by Dunbar. Bent down and kissed the sleeping Night. Night saw the blush and called it "Dawn." Dear Editor: I am so busy in school I just have time to scribble this card and hope all the Tribunite had a very merry Christmas and a very happy New Year (you included.) From your unfaithful member. HELEN PAYNE (Dear Helen: I do not expect all of the Tribunites to find it convenient to write to the Page continuously. I do miss every one who fails to write— but one's lessons are not to be interfered with. Your kind and timely wishes to the Tribunites (me included) are appreciated. I'm sure, they, with me wish for you the best of the season's blessings.—Ed.) My Dear Editor: A few months ago my name was sent in for membership in the Tribune Post Card Club, but this is the first time I have answered any of the questions. EMMA A. RUFFIN (Age 10) Dear Editor: I suppose you think I have completely forgotten you and the Page, but I could never do that remembering the delightful moments I have spent puzzling over the puzzles and questions. I am going to have for one of my New Year resolutions, "Resolved to be true-blue to the Children's Page." I am sending answers to puzzles and questions, an original poem and a puzzle. ALEASE O. WOODS, (Age 14) Dear Editor: In this letter I will endeavor to tell what Paul Lawrence Dunbar did. In Dayton, Ohio, there was a little Negro by the name of Paul Lawrence Dunbar, who became very great. He was a poet. When he had time he sat and wrote beautiful poems. Paul Lawrence Dunbar graduated from high school with great honors. Our PAGE SEVEN TRIBUNITE'S PLEDGE 1. I will never use the word "nigger." 2. I will learn all that I can about the history, and traditions of my race. 3. I will use my eyes and ears to detect slander against my Race, and I will champion my Race wherever I may hear such slander. 4. I will be proud that I am a Negro because. God made me one, and, being a Negro, I will do all that I can to add honor to my Race. WHAT TO READ A good story full of thrills, excitement and all that goes to set a fellow's hair on edge, can be found by reading H. Rider Haggard's "Allan Quartermain." Allan Quartermain, an Englishman, is the hero of the story, but it is the physical prowess of Umslopogass, a Zulu warrior, whose bravery and daring holds the reader's attention most. The white men and Umslopogass venture into a land nearly six hundred miles north of Zanzibar, so far north that no civilized man had ever penetrated. In that reign of Africa dwelt a tribe of white people who had queer customs, who were not friendly to outsiders, and who were vicious. To read this book and visit this people, and tremble—is a treat. "The Upward Path" The race has awakened to the necessity of instructing our children in something of the history and achievements of our own race. The main obstacle of such a course has been a lack of books suitable for children of grammar grades. Harcourt, Brace, and Howe have purchased a book of this kind, "The Upward Path," compiled by Mary White Ovington and Myron T. Pritchard, with an introduction by R. R. Moton, of Tuskegee Institute. Fifty Negro authors are represented, with biographical notes of each. Dr. Kerlin, secretary of the Virginia Society for the Study of Education, says of the book: "It's use in Negro schools would ment of that character in the Negro which we of the white race have so often expressed a desire to see. It is to be hoped that state boards of education will take this view of the matter, and will place this reader in the hands of Colored school children as a prescribed book. It would be an act of justice as well as of grace that would do much toward promoting inter-racial good will." A book of poems just handed in called "Chords and Discords" is by a Washington writer, Walter Everette Hawkins. All of the critics speak well of this little volume—and they speak justly so. The poem which receives the greatest and seemingly the sincerest comment is a poem called "Credo." It is as follows: Credo I am an Iconoclast. I break the limbs of idols And smash the traditions of men. I am an Anarchist. I believe in war and destruction— Not in the killing of men, But the killing of creed and custom. I am an Agnostic. I accept nothing without questioning, It is my inherent right and duty To ask the reason why. To accept without reason Is to debase one's humanity And destroy the fundamental process In the ascertainment of Truth. I believe in Justice and Freedom, To me Liberty is priestly and kingly; Freedom is my Bride. I oppose all laws of state or country, All creeds of church and social orders, All conventionalities of society and system Which cross the path of the light of Freedom Or obstruct the reign of Right.

A. om On. another page of. this paper appears an account of the report of the delegates.of the,Universal Negro Improvement Association made in this) city thisweek, of their trip to the meeting of the League of Nations lust fall. There is indeed a,legson for the American Negro in persistency as reported by them of, their efforts to get their petition before the League, . They made an effort to appear themselves and read the petition but were turned down, They did not go off and call a meeting -and pass resolutions.of indignation, but went to see the British delegate, Sir Eric Drummond, who told them that their petition was in “very strong language,” but thru his efforts the U. N. I. A. delegates were seated. Yet they had difficulty..in getting some ‘one.to present. their petition, which asked that the-League turn over the German Possessions of East Africa to the Negro peoples ‘of the world. Finally they went to the Persian delegate, who in his native land is a prince, who presented their petition and they’ ‘were promised a hearing at the next meeting of the League. * This is far more than Dr. DuBois accomplished in both of his attempts. All of our organizations in this country can take cog-| nizance of the persistent efforts of the delegates of the U. N. I. A., and the success of their efforts to get before the League. Let our organizations stop.passing so many reoslutions of indignation— which they go off and forget, and get down to some given program and keep everlasting’ at it until something breaks loose or some results are obtained. We are too prone to take “no” for an an- swer. We are too docile and passive. There is not enough fight and persistence in our efforts to impress the other fellow with the sincerity of our efforts. May we learn that “persistence is the price of success,” STANDARD LIFE CALENDAR This is the time of the year for new calendars to appear. The Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, Ga., is distributing its calendars in Washington. Many complaints are being reg- istered against the company for putting out a calendar honoring the rebel South by emphasizing the birthdays of such rebels as Robert E. Lee, and Stonewall Jackson and mentioning the “Con- federate Memorial Day” in April, May and June in the various ee Ori ay. Tn APRN, Day and “une in the various Southern states. There’is not a single birthday of a Negro mentioned on the whole twelve pages df’ the calendar. Yet this is a Negro Life | Insurance ‘Company, doing business with, by and for Negroes. Are we not more proud of our own men than we are of the rebel slave holders of the South? Why honor then by mentioning their birthdays and their memorial days at the expense of leaving off such noble characters as Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, Paul Lawrence Dunbar and many others that we might mention? There is a white ice cream company in Washington that na printed and distributed more Negro historical pictures than all | colored insurance companies in the United States. They even | have the home of Douglass, with an insert of his pieture and the pitture of his monument in Rochester, N. Y., with a historical sketch, on their caléiidars for the year of 1923. ‘The Standard | Life could at least have had some of the prominent Negroes’ -birth- | days even if they do have to carry the rebels because they are in the South. oe | “HOW BIG IS THE, LYNCHER VorE?"""
