Vol. 2, No. 36 WHITE BA BISHOP TANNER PASSES AWAY IN PHILADELPHIA Was 18th Bishop of A.M.E. Church—was widely known and liked AUTHOR OF MANY BOOKS Funeral Services Held Thursday—Survived by Several Children Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 18.—Bishop Benjamin Tucker Tanner, one of the 15st widely known prelates of the A. M. E. Church, died at his home here last Sunday at midnight. He was 87 years old. While Bishop Tanner's death came as a surprise, it was a great shock as he has not been in the best of health lately and his age has been against him. The exact cause of death is not known. Funeral services were held Thursday from Union A. M. E. Church, Philadelphia, at 11 o'clock a.m. Many men prominent in the A. M. E. Church attended the funeral and paid a glowing tribute to the life of Bishop Tanner. Bishop Tanner is survived by Henry O. Tanner, artist of Paris, France; Dr C. C. Tanner, former pastor of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church of Washington and Mrs. Belle Témplo, one of the editors of the Women's Record. Benjamin Tucker Tanner was the eighteenth bishop of the A. M. E. Church. He was born in Pittsburgh, Pa., December 25, 1835; was the son of Hugh S. and Isabel H. Tanner; was educated at Avery College, Allegheny and Western Theological Seminary; received his A. M. degree from Avery in 1870, D. D. and LL. D. from Wilberforce later. He married Sarah E. Miller August 19, 1838; was converted in Pittsburgh in 1856 and joined the A. M. E. Church; was licensed to preach in 1856 by Rev. J. A. Warren; admitted to the conference and ordained deacon in 1860; also elder the same year. He was the founder and editor of the Christian Recorder from 1868 to 1884; founder and editor of the A. M. E. Church Review, 1884 to 1888; was author of "The Orignion of the Negro," "Is the Negro Cursed?" "Apology for African Methodism," "Outline of A. M. E. Church History," "The Dispensations in the History of the Church," "The Negro in the Holy Writ," "Hints to Ministers, Especially the A. M. E. Church," "The Color of Solomon—What?" He was a delegate to the third Ecumenical Conference of Methodism, held in London, England, in 1901 and read a paper before that body on "The Elements of Pulpit Effectiveness." Bishop Tanner was one of the most widely known bishops in the A. M. E Church. He was on the retired list at his death. Starts Drive For Women The National Association of Wage Earners of which Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, is national president, will start a drive for members beginning January 20th. In stating the purpose of this organization Miss Burroughs said, "the Negro women wage earners are the only large unprotected labor group in America. They are unprotected because they are unorganized. They are exploited and mistreated because they are unorganized. The only way to better conditions and to stop economic WASHINGTON'S FAVORITE This Coupon May be Exchanged at THE HOWARD THIEF For TEN VOTES in addition to the Votes Admission Ticket VOTE FOR YOUR FA The Washington Tribune Published Weekly Makes Plea For Women Who Work Miss Burroughs Champions Cause of Domestics Before Conference Friday afternoon, January 12, when Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, a delegate to the Woman's Industrial Conference called by the Woman's Bureau of the United States Department of Labor, claimed the floor to discuss the attitude of organized labor toward the domestic worker, she received a genuine ovation. Miss Burroughs told the women that she was speaking for 57 per cent of the Negro women bread-winners of America. "I have listened to your earnest pleas for better wages, better conditions and humane treatment for women in factories and shops. The women in this conference represent not only organized labor but philanthropists and social celebrities are sitting here together trying to map out a program of action that will mean justice and protection to the millions of women who earn their bread in the shops and factories. Thousands of club women, college woman and executives are banded together to improve industrial conditions for working women. They are trying to regulate conditions in shops and factories. These same women are able to give a great deal of time to the care of women in industries for the reason that they have in their kitchens, laundries, nurseries, dining rooms and bedrooms domestic servants who are responsible for the comfort, health and happiness of their homes. "It is perfectly all right for the housewives of this country to try to regulate and secure better conditions for factory hands and it is a great deal easier to try to apply ideals and standards in shops for which the men are responsible than to apply these same ideals and standards in the kitchens for which the housewives are responsible. We would not ask you to take less interest in the factory girl, but we are here to ask you to take more interest in domestic workers who stay on their jobs from 12 to 18 hours, who sleep in basements, attics and over garages. "If you are sincere, if you are just, if you are asking for fair play for all women in industries, the supreme test of your sincerity will not be what you get for the women in the factory but what you give to the servant in your own household. The 57 per cent of the colored women who work at service deserve just as much consideration on this score as the women who work in other industries. "We are not asking for better wages just now, we are asking for better living conditions and better hours, and it is not fair to demand eight hours for one working group in America and insist that one group give twice that number of hours. The colored women of this country have organized to secure for our group just what we are demanding. We need your cooperation. We know this is the acid test. We must work together to win all of these things for all women. "We beseech you to make your program broad enough and fair enough to include domestic workers who are not represented here but who make it possible for millions of women to take an active part in all of these welfare organizations." injustice is through organization. This will be just this kind of organization.

OPENS HERE Will be Only Race Company Writing Exclusive|Casualty Policies From Columbus, Ohio, there came this week to Washington a group of gentlemen representing the Supreme Life and Casualty Company, one of the youngest, yet most progressive, insurance companies of the country. They have come for the purpose of acquainting the people of the District with the work of their company, and from the progressive and aggressive campaign which they have outlined, there is no doubt but that most of the people here will soon know of the company. The personnel of this party is no less impressive, symptomatic of the zeal and youth of the company itself. It is a group of young men with vigor, training, confidence and determination, conscious of the big job ahead and certain of its success. The leader of the party is Mr. A. P. Bentley, formerly assistant cashier of the Solvent Savings Bank of Memphis, Tenn., largest bank of our racial group. Mr. Bentley is the secretary of Supreme Life and his being chosen to personally supervise the opening of the District work is sufficient to show the importance in the eyes of the company. Associated with Mr. Bentley are others of reputation and training: Mr. D. C. Chandler, who beside being the associate general agent of Ohio for Supreme Life is president of Adelphi Building and Loan Association; Mr. C. L. Maxberry of Cincinnati and Mr. C. G. Valentine of Columbus, who are the first men of our group to attain $100,000 class in northern work; and Mr. C. L. Harris, formerly State secretary for Boys "Y" work at Louisville, Ky. Other workers have been engaged to join the above-named in their city and District campaign. Race Congress Preparing for Banner Session At a recent meeting of the Executive Committee of the National Race Congress of America held here, tentative plans and suggestions looking toward the May session of the Congress were made and adopted. Leaders of the Congress are of the opinion that the coming session will be the greatest in its history, celipsing even the last session when the gigantic effort to assemble all Negro organizations here in a universal conference was made. The committee had many important matters on its calendar to be given consideration, including the report of the executive secretary, Mr. H. H. Price, Richmond, Va., and a proposition to again use its influence and best offices to assemble representatives of all Negro organizations in America here in the Nation's capital. Dean Kelly Miller was presented to the committee by President Jernagin and talked at length upon the merits and importance of an All Race Conference. The conditions of the world today, he declared, demand of the Negro a solid front. Such a front, he observes further can indeed only be had in this country by carrying out the principles upon which the Race Congress was organized and for which it has fought persistently from year to year—and that is just such a conference or congress. The dean said that it was his intention to sound out every one of our organizations on this vital question, because, to him, it is plain that race problems can only be met in this way. No one organization at present is big enough to meet them by its self. And who knows when one will be? A committee of five was appointed to confer with like committees of other organizations as to the feasibility of such a venture. If these committees, after their investigation, think it advisable, they will make such a recommendation to their respective parent bodies. The committee decided to launch immediately a city-wide membership drive. This matter was put into the hands of FEDERAL LIFE ELECTS BOARD AND OFFICERS Many Prominent Local Men are Connected with Company There have been many meetings of stockholders of the various corporations in our city, but few, if any, have ever equaled for peace and harmony the meeting of the stockholders of the Federal Life Insurance Corporation, held on Tuesday, January 9, 1923, in the Y. M. C. A., called to elect a Board of Trustees and an Advisory Board. The nominating committee presented the names of the trustees to the stockholders, and of the 1,506 votes represented by those present, there was not one dissenting vote. Three new names were added to the Board of Trustees, namely, Dr. Peter W Price, Prof. David B. Bruce, and Mr John M. Barnes, in place of John H. Polk, Walter S. Carter and J. H. Loftin. The management and character of the institution will be entrusted in the future to the following named trustees and officers: Dr. Carroll A. Brooks, president, formerly resident physician of Freedman Hospital; Jesse H. Foster, first vice president, Foster's Dye Works; Minnie B. Smoot, second vice president, under-taker; Isaiah Cunningham, treasurer, grocer and president of Economy and Realty Company; C. T. Taylor, secretary, insurance; James F. Armstrong, special agent, Department of Agriculture; J. Franklin Wilson, attorney at law and president of the Potomac Invest- (Continued on page 3) Mr. O. G. Granderson and Attorney J. Louis Taylor.

INVITATION SUGGESTED THAT COLORED CHILDREN COME AFTER THREE O'CLOCK Office: 920 U St., N. W. DR LINE IFT-WEE INVITATION SU COLORED CH AFTER THR Many Activities at O Street The requisition for the sum of $321.25, made by the board of education upon the District Commissioners for supplies for the course in manicuring and shampooing for the O Street vocational school, of which Miss L. C. Randolph is principal, brought this school into the lime-light of unfavorable publicity by the refusal of the Commissioners to grant this requisition. An inspection of the school by the writer revealed it to be a necessary factor in the scheme of the District's system of public education. The principal's office was visited first. There we found Miss Randolph at her desk, busy with the day's problems of the management of this school. She proved to be quite agreeable and proud that a representative of The Tribune had called. She personally conducted the tour of inspection. The drawing room was the first in line, with Mrs. R. C. Steward as instructor. Here the girls are taught to design the pattern for the garment they desire to make. The room for plain sewing, with Miss R. B. Wilkinson, came next. There we found that the girls were taught the first rudiments of sewing and how to make plain garments. The elementary dressmaking was the next department visited, with Miss M. S. Reeder and Mrs. M. W. Koonce as instructors. Here the real dressmaking is begun. Many samples of pretty neglige were on display which demonstrated the advancement of the girls as their minds and fingers became more adapted to their work. The room for advanced dressmaking, under Mrs. R. E. Martin, displayed suits and evening gowns, forms and form-fittings. Having finished the work in Mrs. Martin's room, the girl is prepared for outside service of actual dressmaking, either as a business for herself, an assistant in an establishment, or for service as instructress in the public schools. This is a three-year course. There are departments for the girls to study and prepare themselves for the world's work. Millinery, under Mrs. F. P. Clark, is a necessary department in this school. Here the girls are taught from the rudiments of millinery up through form making and the finishing touches of trimming. This course is two years. Several beautiful hats were on display, as well as some in the course of construction. The domestic science department, in charge of Mrs. V. L. Turner who was ill the day we were there, had Mrs. E. D. Gee substituting for Mrs. Turner. Here they have a complete apartment to practice in as well as a complete kitchen for their work. The girls were all neatly attired, proving that a girl in the kitchen can look as neat as the one in the sitting room. They prepare and serve a lunch each day for both students and teachers. The prices charged are quite reasonable and at about cost of production. The academic work of the school is in charge of Mrs. E. H. Blake. The girls are not received at the O Street vocational school under 14, nor unless they have passed the sixth grade. Therefore, a girl may enter after passing through the sixth grade and continue his academic work along with her vocational work. Miss Virginia Williams teaches music at this school and Miss Marie Jordan has charge of the physical training of the girls. They have their glee clubs and basket ball teams. The department that brought the O Street vocational school into publicity is that of shampooing and manicuring, under Mrs. M. M. Cooke. This department was installed at the beginning of ```markdown ``` If The Tribune is not being delivered to you promptly, notify the office at once. We aim to give you good service. EK VISITS SUGGESTED THAT CHILDREN COME HREE O'CLOCK Supt. Wilkinson Refused to Accept or Distri- bute Invitations MR. BRUCE IGNORED Colored Representative Not Invited to Meet Bankers Committee Twenty-three banks of the city and their branches invited the school children of the District to visit their institutions on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in conection with the observance of "thrift week." The banks which joined in the invitation sent out a list of banks that were willing to receive the children, with their teachers. They also fisted the person that would represent the bank and conduct the children on their tour of inspection. The heading of the list said: "The banking institutions with their representatives listed hereon, will receive pupils of the schools in groups, classes, or otherwise." The list also stated the time of day that would be given for this inspection, which was from 9 a. m. to 4 p. m. But there appeared a note at the bottom of the second page of the list stated. It is suggested that college students should be on any of the day-cated from 3 to 4 p. m. These lists were sent to the heads of the departments for distribution among the teachers so that the teacher could select the bank she desired to visit, and get in touch with the proper representative of that particular institution. Because of this jim crowing note, restricting the colored children's visit to a single hour of the day, Assistant Superintendent Wilkinson refused to accept the invitation of the bankers' committee or distribute the list of banks to be visited among the colored teachers, and, therefore, none of the colored school children inspected the banks that "suggested" they should call only "from 3 to 4 p.m." This list of banks was arranged at a committee meeting of the Bankers' Association at 4 o'clock on the afternoon of January 10 at the City Club. The thrift committee of the schools were to have attended this meeting, but Mr. J. C. Bruce, the colored member, was not notified of the meeting until after the banking committee had met and he was then informed of what they had done. Mr. E. G. Kimbal, representing the white schools, was present. Mr. T. P. Hickman, of the Franklin National Bank, Tenth and Pennsylvania Avenue, is the chairman of the Bankers' Committee. In telephone conversation with Mr. Bruce, Mr. Hickman was asked if he had certain hours for his colored depositors to enter the bank. He replied, "Of course not." "Then," asked Mr. Bruce, "why do you wish to discriminate against the children of your colored depositors?" "It was not intended in that light," said Mr. Hickman, Mr. Hickman stated during the conversation with Mr. Bruce that the matter of the colored children coming along at the same hours of the white children had been discussed at length at their meeting on January 10, and that the announced decision was (Continued on page 5) in girls vocational they there so many colored girls and women entering the beauty culture work that it is proving a profitable vocab she felt nothing more than right that the O Street vocation school should offer the opportunity for a scientific course in this work. There are 31 pupils enrolled in this department. They are not provided with the equipment necessary for the work but they are taking what they have and making the best out of it, hoping that the Commissioners will see the necessity for this work and allow the amount asked for supplies. Every parent with a daughter should visit the O Street school. LOCALS AND SOCIETY LOCAL TAU DELTA SIGMA NOTES. By Earle H. Gray. Last Friday evening was one of the meeting nights which the Fraternity had set aside for literary entertainment. The fraters were addressed on this occasion by Judge Robert H. Terrell, who is a member, on the subject "Abraham Lincoln, the Lawyer." Justice Terrell stressed the fact that he would not speak of the Emancipator as a man—that being too big a subject for treatment on that particular occasion. As a lawyer the rail-splitter was portrayed as one of ready wit and worthy scruples. The address was, undoubtedly, the best which the Fraternity has afforded on these occasions. After the formal session of the program the fraters enjoyed the fitting repeat which had been prepared. These meetings are of the most beneficial sort in that they not only stimulate the oratorical abilities of those who take part but they also afford a wonderfully enjoyable social gathering of the membership. The Georgetown Civic Association will meet Tuesday night at the Phillips School, N Street between Twenty-seventh and Twenty-eighth Streets Northwest. The election of officers will take place for the coming year. CORRECTION George Younger. An article in last week's Tribune in reporting the death of Mr. Younger stated that his name was Theodore. This was in error—it should have been George Younger. In the same article in giving the list of survivors the name of Mrs. Pauline Bohannah was left out John Hyder. In the article last week giving the names of officers of the Universal Development and Loan Company, the name of the treasurer was left out. This office is held by Mr. John A. Hyder, who has been identified with the company since its organization. CORRESPONDENTS CLUB: The Correspondents Club had for their guest Sundy evenings "how hardert E.

They also note favorable articles and comment upon the race and defend or commend as the case requires. The first paragraph of their declaration of principles says: "Holding ourselves bound together by a common impulse to resent and resist all efforts in public or private, by speech or writings, to misrepresent, defame or discredit our race, we have organized the Correspondents Club in order the more effectively to carry out the purposes above stated." It was this club that had the famous English writer, H. G. Wells, with them at the Mu-So-Lit Club last winter. Among those present were Dean and Mrs. Geo. W. Cook, Prof. and Mrs. T. W. Turner, Prof. and Mrs. A. E. Clark, Mrs. Kelly Miller, Miss Luey D. Slowe, Miss Zeta E. Dyson, Miss Fannie Wright, Attorney Jas. A. Cobb, Prof. Neval H. Thomas, Mr. and Mrs. A. F.

MUSIC BOX By A Leon Richardson Sunday afternoon, January 7th, Dr. Jason Noble Pierce of the First Congregational Church of this city, spoke to the student body in Rankin Memorial Chapel at the regular vesper hour, 4:30 o'clock. This was Dr. Pierce's first appearance at the University, and he delivered a very inspiring initial sermon. There are six foreign students touring this country from Austria, Germany and England. They are traveling in two groups, three in the South and three in the North. These six students show a wonderful example of the student minds of the world. Their program and purpose is one that is broad, thoughtful and comprehensive. They realize the condition of world affairs and the necessity of something being done to rectify the conditions; thus their aim is to bring about good will, understanding and mutual relationship between the nations and races of the world. The students arrived Monday night at 10 o'clock and went to their respective residences, the Alpha Phi Alpha and Omega Psi Phi Fraternities, where they were the guests for the duration of their stay. There were numerous entertainments tendered the visiting students by the students, faculty, sororities and fraternities. Tuesday at the regular chapel services Dr. Durkee presented the delegation to the student body. Among them was Mr. Pratt of Harvard University, who is serving them as a guide. He spoke on behalf of the delegation and outlined their program.

From 5 to 7 o'clock Wednesday evening the Phi Beta Sigma fraternity held an "at home" for the visitors and from 8 to 10 o'clock the ladies of Miner Hall and Howard House held an "at home" to the visiting students. During the week there were other entertainments given in honor of the guests. The foreigners seemed to be delighted and very appreciative for their stay at Howard. Howard Sick List. There are four Howard students in Freedman's Hospital on the sick list: Mr. Sembly of the sophomore medical class; Mr. Gaines of the sophomore medical class, and Mr. Jordan of the freshman medical class are confined in Ward 8 with la gripe. Mr. Macco Clark of the sophomore college class, has recently undergone an operation and is confined to Ward 4 for recovery.

For the basketball season 1923 there will be no varsity team due to lack of "gym" space and other outstanding facilities. Director Watson has arranged for two leagues similar to that of last season.

W. What We Should Learn Football Seat Editor's Note.—This is the second of the Tribune's series of articles "What We Should Learn from the Past Football Season." These articles contain the opinions of those thoroughly familiar and well versed in college athletics. "Officials" will be the subject of next week's issue. In reviewing the games that made up the 1922 football schedules of our institutions one readily concludes that in most instances very little thought was exercised in the formation of this very important element of the sport—the schedule. The arranging of college football schedules is an art that requires close and proficient study, a thorough conception of the task and a uniform program to be followed. For a schedule to be good does not mean that all the strong teams of the country must be named not that an excess number of games be played. But it does imply that a college should book the majority of its games with teams of its own class, that a certain number be played on foreign gridirons and that enough games be played to keep the sport active for the entire two months of the football season and guarantee keen competition. Eight games should be the maximum with not over three away from home, while interesting intersectional affairs should never exceed two. The tendency to play too many games and take too much time away from home is a menace to the development of football in that the players are required to be from classes for unlimited periods and to pass one man for attending two classes a week while his classmate must attend three seems an injustice. Much more should be given of How Much has already been said of How SPORT CHATTER Howard, Dunbar, Armstrong, Lincoln, Morgan and Cheyney are listed in the program sent out from the University of Pennsylvania for the Relay Carnival at Franklin Field, Philadelphia, on April 27 and 28. Howard is placed in Class D of the American championship, while Lincoln, Cheyney and Morgan are found in Class 10 of the class relays. Howard will also be represented in the freshman relay championship. Dunbar and Armstrong will compete in the high school relay championship. Mr. Andrew Allen, business manager of the Le Droit Tigers, the leading colored baseball team of the District last season, recently applied for membership in the newly formed Colored Eastern League. He was notified that the league's quota was made up of six clubs and no other member was desired. Opens 3 p.m. Daily Sundays 3 p.m. ```markdown ``` DUNBAR THEATER ard's weak schedule last fall. The failure to fill a date in mid-season made the local's schedule look farcical. In addition too many institutions that generally carry weak elevens were booked. Lincoln played too many games (six in all) away from home. Four consecutive Saturdays found the Lions on the road. Shaw played an excessive number of games. The extreme localities of Wilberfore and West Virginia make schedule forming for these institutions a difficult proposition. Hampton, Morehouse and St. Paul presented schedules that had been well planned. Hampton, a C. I. A. A. member, listed five games with association teams. Our college athletic authorities have not reached the stage wherein schedules can be announced prior to September. Yet there is seemingly no reason why the Association teams and the leading southern teams should not announce their football games in the early winter months. Of course it is the policy of most colored institutions to depend on one man for everything pertaining to athletics. When the time comes for booking football games he is probably swamped with basketball and track plans or engaged in academic work. He can not carefully and systematically map out his football schedule and thus this vital part of the game is obstructed and often more than one institution is the sufferer. We know of one instance where a contract for a game was submitted to authorities of one school in early March and it was September before an answer was received. There have been frequent happenings of such nature. Colored college football can not flourish under the influences of such negligent and unbusiness-like practices. Rube Foster, czar of the Western League, bitterly assailed the Eastern League last week. According to Rubehind the project. Foster further states that Strong had flourished off the colored teams for years and has yet to build a park for them to play in. "Mose" Morris, the flashy guard of the Alco A. C., has recovered from a recent illness and is expected to be in perfect trim for the Alco-Gladiator game of January 24. The French Boxing Commission has declared after an extensive investigation that the Siki-Carpentier fight was "or the level." No action was taken, however, on the reinstatement of Siki. Much is being said by the white sport writers about the heavyweight championship and all of them seem to be in accord on drawing the color line. It seems as if Harry Wills will not get his big opportunity after all; but you never can tell; just keep on waiting. Harry.

The recently organized District Basketball League has proven one of the biggest successes along sporting lines originated here in late years. Already the local devotees of basketball are flocking to the games each Wednesday night at the Casino in surprisingly large numbers. Interest in the games has reached a level that the dancing feature of the evening stands secondary to the game. Carlisle Loses to Delta. The Delta Five emerged victorious in the District Basketball League series on Wednesday night at the Casino, defeating the Carlisle quint in one of the most exciting games of the season by the score of 22 to 20. The great come-back staged by the collegians in the last half forging to the front from the small end of a 12 to 8 score was the feature. Richardson and Nurse furnished the winners scoring power, while Davis and Carter exhibited stellar defensive ability. Robinson, Taylor and Pinkney showed up particularly well for Carlisle.

The baseball fans who have been wondering during the winter months what is in store for them this spring in the way of a baseball club, will no doubt be pleased to learn that the Ledroit Tigers, District champions last year, are planning on having one of the best teams in the East this year. Business Manager Andrew J. Allen has been working on plans to strengthen his team since the season closed. A number of players have been signed for the coming season, including several prospective stars from out of town. Among last year's players who are expected to return to the Tigers are: Infielders, Lewis, Collins, Fields, Capt. Kenner and Baylor; outfielders, Jefferson, Budd and Pew; pitchers, Adams and Lefty George Smith, left-handers, and Plummer and Jefferson, right-handers. Martin Lewis is expected to develop into one of the best catchers in the city this season. In Collins at first base, Manager Allen believes he has a real star. JOHN H. HARRIS Mr. West will again manage the players while Mr. Allen handles the business end. The officers elected for this year are: Henry Spencer, president; William "Doc" West, manager; Burrell Kenner, captain; Andred Allen, Jr., business manager; James Baylor, secretary; Jack Tyler, trainer and coach. By R. I. Williams. The Negro has not been received and acknowledged in tennis throughout the United States and the world as he has been in many other athletic activities, in music, art and science. Nevertheless the writer believes that the day will come when he will take his proper place. The West won the championships last year. Mr. Edgar Brown of Indianapolis, the 1922 national champion, Dr. O. B. Williams of Chicago, and many other westerners and western interests are using their every effort to see to it that the West will this year again win the championships. It is up to the easterners to see to it that such will not be.

To date the boys have won three of their four contests and are planning to show unusual speed next week when they meet Baltimore High School boys on Thursday, January 25, and the heavy team from Storer College, Harper's Ferry, W. Va., on Monday, January 29. Both of these games are scheduled for the school floor, and unusual interest is being aroused because Storer was victorious over Armstrong in her first game this season at Harper's Ferry. The Manual Trainers are determined to even up the series with the Mountaineers. All home games being at 3 o'clock p. m. February 1 will find the Orange and Blue on their annual eastern trip at Germantown, Pa. February 2, at Wilmington, Del., and February 3, at Philadelphia. Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 12.—A huge, gay crown of basketball fans poured into Musical Fund Hall to witness the fast floor teams of Lincoln and Hampton here tonight. So packed was the house it required the services of cops to aid the two quintets to wedge their way to their dressing rooms one hour before the game started. This marked the first big game in the East in collegiate circles. A fitting throng, far beyond a thousand, welcomed the opening contest. At 9:45 Lions and Seasiders were on their toes guarding their goals. McNichols for Hampton scored first with a long, beautiful field goal. After this Lincoln took the lead and retained it throughout the game. "Massey" Woods, leading in field goals and foul shooting, was the big star of the game. McNichols starred for Hampton.

STAGE WHISPERS By Quentin During an interview last week Gertie Saunders, one of the stars in the musical show "Liza" now at Daly's Theater, New York, says: "Dancing is more than frisking gracefully across the stage. The actor or actress who simply goes through mechanical steps, no matter how gracefully done, is not a real artist. Dancing must tell a story or reflect some emotion, happiness, jealousy, anger—something. The artist dances with the face and the whole body, not simply with her feet. As they go through the various steps, the facial expression changes and gestures are made conveying a message most clearly to the spectators." In other words, say it with dancing. ```markdown ``` Sunshine Sammy is featured in the Pathe comedy, "On a Quiet Street." "Follow Me," after playing through Pennsylvania and several West Virginia towns, is now playing at the Grant Theater, Chicago. "Shuffle Along," No. 2, is splitting the week between Petersburg and Richmond, Va. Bob Lee, formerly with "Shuffle Along," is now with "Liza." William Fountain, who for several seasons was with the "Smarter Set," is now on the Pacific Coast with the "Exposition Four." Will Vodery is busy rehearsing another company to take the place of "Plantation Revue," which is booked to play in London at an early date. It is said that Helen Justa, working with Lee Marshall, is one of the best dancers in vaudeville. "How Come," the new show opened in Norfolk, Va., at Attucks Theater and will be here at the Howard the week of the 22d. Sissle and Blake wrote the music for the white show "Elsie," which is to be shown in New York soon. Foxworth and Frances have been given booking over Pantages Circuit. "Emperor Jones" and Charles S.

With Holmes, Smith, Wilkerson, Monroe, Thompson, "Doc" Perry, Lofton Wiseman, Freeman and many other "cracks" of greater or lesser note, overwhelming eager to get out at the first sign of spring to limber up, with great prospects of play on courts than which there are none better in or about Washington, the J. E. Walker courts, Fifth and W Streets Northwest, this year's outlook in tennis was never better. Reports have it that there are several good men attending Howard University in addition to the above-named stars, who will in all probability be heard from this spring and summer. The sentiment in regard to the men is the same concerning the ladies. Washington has many times been the domicile of the national women's singles champion in the person of Miss Lucy Slowe Miss Isadore Channels, of Chicago now holds this honor. Nevertheless Washington must again be the domicile of the next national women's single champion. Tennis is soon to become the most popular game among the colored people as it is among the white people. Soon, I firmly believe, that the same interest will exist among Negroes in tennis as there is in baseball. The possibilities are that more interest will be taken in tennis than in baseball. Get interested now in tennis. The sooner the better. All members, old and new, and their friends, of the J. E. Walker Tennis Club are urgently requested to join the club at their earliest convenience so that this year will be the biggest yet in tennis. THEATR. NOTES HOWARD THEATRE Biggest Traveling Colored Musical Orgаниlation in America Coming Next Week. Washington is in for the biggest treat of the season next week, commencing Monday, when "How Come," said to be the biggest traveling colored musical comedy organization in the country comes to the Howard. Included in the company of more than sixty people are more than a score of the best known colored comic entertainers on the stage. The vehicle presenting the big list of principals and ensembles is playing Norfolk the current week, and drawing audiences larger than the city has ever known. The producers of the musical come gone about in a way sure to hold success. They first got Eddie Hunter, the funniest colored writer of amusing pieces for the stage to write the book or story. Next they got Ben Harris, well known composer to write the songs, dances and incidental music. Then they got the country's leading scenic artists to paint twelve scenes of picturesque variety. Then they got Marty Deem to design appropriate dazzling costumes, and next they got the Duwico electrical firm to supply brilliant light effects. But, while these preparations were under way they got Irvin C. Miller, the greatest comedian of the stage to stage, perform, direct and stepping feats. The round-up of colored talent secured for this aggregation of delights was on the same big scale. The fruit of all this endeavor proved the showmen behind "How Come?" knew their business. Sell out theatre capacities follow their appearances. How could it be otherwise when a glance is taken of the big list of big names commencing with Eddie Hunter himself, and phalanxed with star headliners such as George Cooper, Salem Whitney and Homer Tutt, Frank Montgomery and Florence McClain, Amon Davis and Any Tribble, Andy Fairchild and Alec Lovejoy, Tony Donovan and Sidney Beehet, Nat Cash and Charles THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, JANUARY 20, 1923 The Home of Perth Lincoln J.

Then there is the famous Memphis nightingale, Georgette Harvey, also Nina Hunter and Alice Brown, Estelle Cash and the sweet singer Leona Harley. The supporting names to the number of more than two scores in the big hit of stamping beauty dancers and the country's pick of strutting boy singers and the dancers. The comic series of situations upon which the "How Come?" laughs, songs dances and spectacular effects are based are described as screamingly funny. Beginning with two easy money getters played by Eddie Hunter and George Cooper, the laughs are said to come one after another. The confidence men found a chicken trust. Then they run off with the money. The stockholders hold a protest meeting. The way the gold brick pair get out of one trouble into another is so fun to be a balcony like the view of a Niagara. Salem Whitney is reported to have the best part of his career. Frank Montgomery is also happily placed, and Aaron Davis is reported to be funnier than ever, a judgment that is said to apply with equal truth to Andy Fairchild and Ale Lovejoy. The famous feminine principals, led in distinction by Georgette Harvey are all supplied with parts said to fit them like gloves made to order. The scenes of the piece give some idea of the color of the piece, viz.: Plantation lawn, bughouse lane, drug store, Beale Street, interior of jail, Bugaloo street, railroad station of blonde parlor, South Side, Chicago, tenement yard, Elite cafe, house rent party, Castle Carefree and big divertissement finale.

"Every Woman," the great morality drama to be given at the Lincoln Theater February 1 for the benefit of the Tuesday Evening Club of Social Workers, Inc., is being favorably received by the citizens of Washington, judging from the demand for tickets now being made on the committee handling the production.

Rex Ingram, through his masterly production for Metro of "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse," established himself supreme among directors. A tremendous spectacle, envisaging the war as reflected through two continents, is overwhelmed with a superb sense of power. Alice Terry and Rodolph Valentino were in the east. In "The Conquering Power,' his newest production, coming to Broadway Theater for three days, January 25, 26 and 27, he works in an entirely different genre. The story has been adapted by June Mathis from Balzac's novel "Eugenie Grandet," with swift-moving continuity. Mr. Ingram has illustrated it with pictures that have the tonal quality of great works of art; the soft lighting of the photography and the perfectly composed groupings give an exquisite sense of reality. Alice Terry, delicately beautiful and charming, gives a deeply moving performance as Eugenie; Rodolph Valentine, handsome and debonair, plays the lover, Charles, with a wealth of warm Latin temperament and magnetism.

I am glad to be back in Washington and am going to school RUDOLPH SAUNDERS. (Age 10.) Dear Editor: I am fond of these cold crisp days. I love to go out and play. I am fond of skating. My brother and I skate to school every day. It is much fun. I hope it will snow. Hello to you. Don't throw this letter away. CELESTE Z. HARRIS. (Age 12.) Dear Editor: Here is a suggestion that will interest come of the girls. Did you ever try salting the nuts before adding them to the candy you are making? Salt adds a great deal to the flavor of the nuts, and more than that, gives a rich, indescribable flavor to the candy. Cut the nut-meats the size you wish, cover them with water, and wash thoroughly. Pour off the water, add from one-half to three-quarters of a teaspoonful of salt to each cupful of nut-meats, and mix thoroughly. If the nuts have the least bit of an "old" taste, this method of salting them will entirely remove it. I am sure that you will find this method of adding the salt to the candy most satisfactory. For cakes and breads, too, the nuts may be salted in the same way. Dear Editor; Just a line to you and the Tribunites. I love the "Children's Page" and as I had never written to it before I thought that I would start the year with a letter. I intend to write again soon. I have a puzzle which I am making; when I finish it I will send it in. I hope that you won't give it to the goat. Love to you and all the Tribunites. CLYDE OWENS. Dear Editor: Although I have not contributed to the Page for some time I have been watching its contents. I hope the little poem I am sending in will be accepted. It is rather late to send in it to you before now. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, JANUARY 20, 1923 Next week I will try to write a short story and send it in. I hope the time will come when we can have two pages, one for girls and the other for boys. THE NEW YEAR. Now that the New Year has dawned, On the blessed January morn, Let us from our dreams awake And a new stand let us take. Resolve to always be kind and true, In every task that we must do; Never scorn the weak and poor, Who comes for aid at our front door For perhaps you may get helpless, Then asking for help will be useless. Always try to gain a friend, But don't make them enemies in the end For real friends are worth having, In time of trouble they'll be sharing. Use each moment of the hour— For industrious hands have power. Don't be dreaming all the time— Work, and just step up in line; Let us strive throughout each day. All of the year to be happy and gay— Strive daily to do better and better In spite of enemies or sultry weather. CORNELIA JACKSON. (Age 16.) Dear Editor: I have been reading the "Children's Page," and enjoy it very much, particularly the "Poet's Corner." I am sending you two poems: "Something More" and "Be a Man." I hope you will like them. I am in the second year at Dunbar High School and am studying very hard in order that I may pass in all of my subjects. CORDELIA E. JEFFERSON. (Age —.) WHAT TO READ Two Books. "Bronze," by Mrs. Georgia Douglas Johnson, and "The Widening Light," by Mrs. Carrie Williams Clifford, are two dainty volumes of verses worth reading. The two women, who were once little brown-face children such as you, have added two more items in the realm of literature of which to be proud. I state this fact to show that because our skin is not white one must not think that one's field for accomplishments is limited. The field is not limited. Neither has color anything to do with ability. These two colored women have accomplished what any woman of any race would be proud to have accomplished. From "Bronze" we get: LET ME NOT HATE. Let me not hate, although the bruising world decries my peace, Gives me no quarter, honds me while I sleep; Would snuff the candles of my soul and sear my inmost dreamings. Let me not hate, though girt by vipers, green and hissing through the dark; I fain must love. God help me keep the altar-gleams that flicker wearily, anon, On down the world's grim night! Watch for further comment on these two books next week in the "Poet's Corner." In the meantime get them and read them and let me know what you think of them. "Africa and the American Negro," by J. W. E. Bowens. "Unwritten History," by J. L. Coppin. "Noted Negro Women," by M. A. Majors. "The Afro-American Press," by I. Garland Penn. AN EVIDENCE OF THE NEED OF MORE JUVENILE TRAINING At a local fair the other night some girls and boys were playing "Clapping In and Clapping Out." It is matter or sportsmanship to take a seat and if wrong be willingly clapped out. Certain of the girls seemed to fear that feature and the whole life of the game was injured because of it. This plainly shows what a lack of juvenile sports will produce—social inertia. Give the child (boy or girl) an opportunity to indulge in innocent pastimes and by so-doing that child learns to respect decisions of others, and is weened away from selfishness. The decisions of others is closely associated with government, which if learned to be respected while the child is young, that child will be better able to respect the laws of his nation when maturity is reached. Games can be as greatly enjoyed quietly as they can be noisely. Unnecessary noise should always be done away with. Games requiring thought, cleverness or quickness of wit should be encouraged as necessary to the development of the mind, the same as interest is placed in games to develop the physical traits of children. EMANCIPATION AND THE FREED IN AMERICAN SCULPTURE A Study in Interpretation FREEMAN HENRY MORRIS MURRAY (Continued from last week) A Study in Interpretation. Prior to the breaking out of the Civil War, the fine arts in America had not reached a consequential position in the art world, and sculpture had rather lagged behind painting. Only a few American sculptors had made a national reputation, and almost none had attracted attention abroad. Powers' "Greek Slave." One of the noteworthy works which had been produced in America before the War was Powers' "Greek Slave," which, being one of the first American nudes, and for other reasons aside from what would now be regarded as high artistic merit, had attained great popularity. It had even been exhibited in London—at the Exhibition of 1851—but its chief drawing power there was probably curiosity to see that which the Americans had made such an ado over. This statue—which was indeed as well "finished" as the sculptor's Italian workmen could make it and was "polished" to perfection—had one probable reason for its American popularity which I have not seen noted. What I have in mind will suggest itself to you when you recall that the anti-slavery agitation had already noticeably impressed the general public with the evils, cruelties, and brutalities connected with slavery as an institution. But then, as now, a "white" slave would attract more attention and excite far more commiseration than a black one or one less white than "white." Everybody could sympathize with the slave in what Mrs. Browning called her "white silence," and nobody could safely "take her part" without being suspected of endeavoring to stir up strife. And so, whether or not we regard the "Greek Slave" as an artistic triumph, we must admit that it "took well" with the American public. The words "white silence" which were used a moment ago are taken from the sonnet on the statue written by Mrs. Browning, the leading English poetess at the time the statue was being exhibited in England. The sonnet is a scathing—and I think, sarcastic—arraignment of Powers' American countrymen for maintaining slavery here. The last lines read: From God's pure heights of beauty against man's wrong! Catch up in thy divine face, not alone East's griefs, but West's, and strike and shame the strong and shame the strong. By thunders of white silence overthrown. Hence, whether Powers so intended it or not—and he very probably did not— his "Greek Slave" may be regarded— permitting me a figure of speech akin to that of Mrs. Browning's—as American art's first anti-slavery document in marble. "Freedom" on the National Capital by Thomas Crawford. Of other more or less notable works produced before the War, only one needs to be mentioned on this occasion. That one is the colossal statute of "Freedom" on the Dome of the Capitol at Washington. The sculptor called it "Armed Liberty" but the official name adopted was "Freedom." However, it is popularly known as "Liberty," and by that name I shall generally refer to it. This statute was modeled by Thomas Crawford several years before the War but was not cast into bronze until about 1861, and it was in 1863, after the Emancipation Proclamation had gone into effect that it was finally raised into its place. It is recorded that the head-covering of Crawford's first model of this statue was the familiar "Liberty cap" which was adopted by the French Revolutionists. This form of cap is said to have been derived from the Roman pilens, the Phrygian cap worn by manumitted slaves. Jefferson Davis, who was then Secretary of War, under whose Department the Dome was being constructed, objected to the "Liberty cap," holding that it was a symbol unnited to a people who, he claimed, had "always" been free. There was quite a controversy over it and the outcome was the head-address which "Liberty" now wears, which has been described in many ways, one description—perhaps no more inaccurate than the rest—being, "an eagle-shaped helmet with a circlet of stars." Another interesting matter connected with the statue is that while it was being cast into bronze at Mill's foundry near Washington the Southern states began seeding; whereupon, the white workmen, as Jarves puts it, "turned rebel" and a Negro assistant completed the work. (See Note 1 next week.) The "Libyan Sibyl," by W. W. Story The Civil War, or perhaps more correctly, the issues which precipitated the conflict and the occurrences and results which accompanied it and grew out of it, brought to art—both pictorial and sculptural—suggestions, ideas, and inspiration; and, above all, opportunity and freedom. There were things that men and women had felt impelled to say; now, there was no longer reason why they could not be said, frankly and expediently. (See Note 2 next week.) Perhaps the first American who said in art an important thing as to the issues then pending, was William Wetmore Story, a New Englander, who, working in Rome, chiseled and sent to the London Exhibition of 1863 his famous "Cleopatra," and with it a statue whose modeling no less than whose message set all Europe to looking, talking, and commending. This statue he named the "Libyan Sibyl." What Story intended to portray may be stated in his own words. Writing to his friend, Charles Eliot Norton, under date of August 15, 1861, he said: "This last winter I finished what I consider as my best work—it is so considered by all, I believe—the Libyan Sibyl. I have taken the pure Coptic head and figure, the great massive, sphinx-like face, full-lipped, long-eyed, low-browed, and lowering, and the largely developed limbs of the African. She sits on a rock, her legs crossed, leaning forward, her elbow on her knee and her chin pressed down upon her hand. The upper part of the figure is nude and a rather simple mantle clothes her legs. This gave me a grand opportunity for the contrast of the masses of the nude with drapery, and I studied the nude with great care. It is a very massive figure, big-shouldered, large-bosomed, with nothing of the Venus in it, but as far as I could make it, luxuriant and heroic. She is looking out of her large black eyes into futurity and sees the fate of her race. This is the theme of the figure—Slavery on the horizon, and I made her head as melancholy and severe as possible, not at all shrinking the African type. On the contrary, it is thoroughly African—Libyan Africa of course, not Congo. This I am now putting into marble, and if I can afford it, I shall send it to the new Exhibition in London." ("Story and His Friends," by Henry James; Vol. II. p. 70.) It will be recalled that this statue was modeled during the winter of 1860-61, so that, while the Sibyl was indeed mediating and brooding over the then terrible condition of her people, perhaps we may venture to claim that the Sibyl was also viewing prophetically the terrible impending conflict on the issue of which, the fate of millions of her race so largely depended. The picture which is shown herewith is from a steel engraving of the statue made by E. W. Stodart. This engraving appeared in a book by William Clark, Jr., entitled "Great American Sculptures," published in 1877. In this book Clark says of the statue: "This weird woman of mystery, the child of the desert, it is true is not (like Story's 'Cleopatra') a 'serpent of the old Nile,' but there is about her much of that pent-up fiery energy threatening to burst forth at any moment to scorch and consume, which marks the 'Cleopatra.' The mission of the 'Sibyl,' however, is not to lure men to destruction—she is the custodian of secrets, the secrets of the African race. "And how close she keeps them, with her locked lower limbs, her one hand pressing her chin as if to keep in the torrent of words that threatens to burst forth, while the other grasps a sroll covered with strange characters, which would reveal much could we be permitted to decipher it. On her head is the Amomite horn—for she is a daughter of Jupiter Ammon, and the keeper of his oracles, and on her breast is the ancient symbol of mystery, as she sits there brooding and thinking and her breast heaving with emotions as she thinks of what is past and what is to come." Miss Phillips in her book on Story quotes a long description and interpretation of the statue from the London Athenaeum. It says in part: "The Sibilla Libica' has crossed her knees — an action universally held amongst the ancients as indicative of reticence or secrecy and of power to bind. A secret-keeping looking dame she is, in the full-bloom proportions of ripe womanhood. . . Her forward elbow is propped upon one knee; and to keep her secrets closer—for this Libyan woman is the closest of the Sibyls—she rests her shut mouth upon one closed A B [Image of a statue of a figure in a robe, holding a sword and a staff, with a crown on its head.] "FREEDOM" statue, on Dome of the National Capitol, by Thomas Crawford. palm as if holding the African mystery deep in her brooding brain. She looks out through mournful, wavering eyes under the wide shade of the strange horned (Ammonite) crest that bears the mystery of the Tetra-gram-maton upon its front. Over her full bosom, mother of the myriads as she was, hangs the same symbol. Her face has a Nubian cast—her hair wavy and plaited, as is meet." ("W. W. Story," by Mary E. Phillips.) No doubt many persons who see here with for the first time the picture of this woman of "African type" will find her less "African" than Story's description would lead them to expect. For the popular American conception of the African is the type exemplified by the more outlandish of the captives brought here from the Congo and Niger regions. Seldom does any American geography or illustrated dictionary or cyclopedia indicate that Africa yields any other ethnological fruit, and the specimens shown are almost always as outre and repulsive as possible. But bear in mind that the picture we are reproducing is not a photograph made directly from the statue but is a steel engraving, and it is not improbable that Mr. Stodart when making the engraving "favored" the "Sibyl" somewhat. Jas. J. Jarves' book, "The Art Idea," published in 1864, was the first extended art criticism and interpretation by an American. In this book we read (page 281): "Unhappily, England has secured the two conceptions, Cleopatra and the Libyan Sibyl, which have placed him (Story) in European estimation at the head of American sculptors. Their greatness consists in the originality of thought. They are the growth of new art-blood. We may ethnographically object that Cleopatra, sprung from Hellenic blood, could not be African in type. Still it is a generous idea, growing out of the spirit of the age—the uplifting of downt-rodden races to an equality of chances in life with the most favored,—to bestow one of Africa's daughters the possibility of the intellectual power and physical attractions of the Greek siren. In harmony with the spirit of this statue is the loftier idea of the Sibyl a suggestion, we are told, of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, founded on her knowledge of the runaway slave, Sojourner Truth. "The Sibyl is Africa's prophetic annunciation of her future among nations. Sculpture of this character displays a creative imagination and daring of no mean order. Born of, yet in some degree forestalling, the great political ideas of the age, it is high art teaching noble truth." (According to Miss Phillips, four copies of this statute, the "Libyan Sibyl," were made. She says that two are owned in London, one in Paris, and one in Boston. Tuckerman, in his "Book of the Artists" says six copies were made but he fails to locate any of them.) (See Note 3 next week.) The statement by Jarves that this statue was suggested by the story of Sojourner Truth is made on the authority of Mrs. Stowe herself. Miss Phillips, in her book, quotes Mrs. Stowe's statement. She says: "Upon page 474, Vol. XI of the Atlantic Monthly, in the issue of April, 1863, are the following lines from the pen of the late Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, upon 'Sojourner Truth, the Libyan Sibyl.' "After graphically giving the history of this singular, strong, sad woman, Mrs. Stowe continues : "But though Sojourner Truth has passed from among us as a wave of the sea, her memory still lives in one of the loftiest and most original works of modern art, the Libyan Sibyl, by Mr. Story, which attracted so much attention in the late World's Exhibition. (See Note 4 next week.) "Some years ago, when visiting Rome, I related Sojourner's history to Mr. Story at a breakfast at his house. Already had his mind begun to turn to Egypt in search of a type for art. . . . The history of Sojourner Truth worked in his mind and led him into the deeper recesses of the African nature—those unexplored depths of being and feeling, mighty and dark as the gigantic depths of tropical forests, mysterious as the hidden rivers and mines of that burning continent whose life history is yet to be. A few days after he told me that he had conceived the idea of a statue which he should call the Libyan Sihyl. Two years subsequently I revisited Rome and found the gorgeous Cleopatra finished. . . . "Mr. Story requested me to come and repeat to him the history of Sojourner Truth, saying that the conception had never left him. I did so; and a day or two after he showed me the clay model of the Libyan Sibyl. I have never seen the marble statue, but am told by those who have that it was by far the most impressive work of art at the Exhibition." Mr. Story in one of his letters tells of his astonishment and gratification at the favorable comments made by the European critics, and refers to the prices—tremendous they seemed to him—offered for the two statues. He had been unable to get either remuneration or encouragement for his previous work in America and had abandoned art as a serious business, devoting his time chiefly to the writing of law books. He also did considerable other literary work. Though little has been written about this statue in recent years, it is, or ought to be, most precious to the people of African descent in this land. Its purpose and its history, its frankness and its truth, its "personality" one might say, should strongly appeal to us. These qualities and its loftiness of conception with its air of mystery and its suggestion of far-reaching possibilities, and finally, its well-deserved fame—for, as has been shown, it was in foreign eyes America's first great work of art—all of these should constrain us to echo the expressed wish of Mrs. Stowe, that some day it should be one of the adornments of our National Capitol. If it does not become that, let us hope that some person or some organization among us will be prompted to make an effort to secure at least one copy of this work and see to its playing in one of our institutions of learning—say, Howard University at Washington City—or at some place where our people "do most gather," as an assurance of our appreciation and discerning comprehension and as an carnet of our purpose to encourage and foster in our own the higher callings, and especially not to neglect the imaginative and emotional art-power with which we are admittedly so exceptionally endowed. Here would seem to be a fitting work for one or more of our Colored Women's Clubs or Federations of Clubs; for, so far as I am aware, not in all art, ancient or modern, American or foreign, is there a master-piece nobler in conception and more unreservedly complimentary to our race, and to our women especially, than is William Wetmore Story's "Libyan Sibyl." (Editor's Note: The notes referred to will be published next week as will also the pictures of "The Lybian Sibyl" and the "Freedman." (Continued next week) PERTINENT PARAGRAPHS I believe that any man's life will be filled with constant and unexpected encouragements, if he makes up his mind to do his level best every day—that, is tries to make each day as nearly as possible reach the high water mark of pure, unselfish and useful living. One cannot hold another down in the ditch without staying down in the ditch with him; in helping a man who is down to rise, the man who is up is freeing himself from a burden that would otherwise drag him down. For the man who is down there is always something to hope for—always something to be gained. —the entire race is judged by a few individuals who have had little or no opportunities for advancement along any of the lines that make for a higher education. No race can be lifted until its mind is awakened and strengthened. All things come to him who waits, but the Negro must understand that he must work and wait; not idly rest upon his oars. We must not only be prepared to make a good showing when the opportunity comes to us to let the world see what in us lies, but each opportunity must find us better prepared.

THE NEGRO FACES AMERICA It is an outstanding fact that the Negro really faces America. The question naturally arises, How? The complications arising from two hundred years of slavery and the resulting complications of freedom with all of its hatreds, proscriptions, ostracisms, disfranchisement and discriminations have had the opposite effect of what should be expected. The Negro faces America, with many traitors within his own ranks. In Politics: There is not a single Negro politician of note that is willing to serve the race. His or her whole object is personal gain—personal aggrandizement—and he is a traitor to the very race he purports to serve; The first "job" offered him he falls for it and becomes an "Uncle Tom" and a rubber stamp for "superior" officeholder over him, selling out the race for a "mess of pottage." Where there are sufficient numbers to put over a candidate for office, the "knowing" (?) Negro politicians "siggests" that it would not be wise "at this time." "Let's pull together for our white friend ——, and we will put up 'our' man next time." Hoping that if a Negro must be "put up" he will be the man—next time. Would a Greek put up a Turk to represent him, or an Irishman suggest an Englishman to run his office, or a Frenchman suggest a German to run in the district where he had the balance of power? It is just as ridiculous for the Negro politician to suggest to his fellow men to "support our white friends." We are not going to make any headway in politics until we support ourselves. We have no friends when it comes to politics. Will it take fifty more years for the Negro to realize that? or is he wise enough to draw a lesson from performances, of the Republicans, notably their recent attitude toward the Dyer Bill? The Negro truly faces America in politics, with ranks broken and morale low. Along educational lines the Negro is in a precarius condition. The literacy credited by the Government Census does not mean much. Reading and writing, at any rate the little needed to be classed as "literate" within themselves, do not mean very much. The simple fact is, the masses of the race are ignorant, educationally speaking. It is thru education that we hope to build up loyalty. The schools are in the hands of the white people. All public schools are in their hands and the discriminatory allotments for educational purposes in the southern states are a disgrace to a Christian nation. The private schools, too, are all practically in the hands of white people or controlled by them. Therefore, we have no educational policy applicable and necessary to the race. So long as we have white presidents of our universities and colleges and white instructors in them merely because they are white and not because of superior qualifications, telling the world that we are not capable of furnishing men for our own schools. It is truly a reflection on a Negro school to say that there is not a Negro in the whole United States capable of being president of the school from which he graduates, we therefore, have to select some cheap white man to be president of our best schools. No other kind would accept the presidency. With all of the race prejudice among white people of this country, we cannot have the proper respect for a cheap white man as president of a Negro school. Therefore, the Negro faces America educationally with his greatest weapon in the hands of his enemies. Industrially: We are bound to work for the white man. We are not prepared to employ ourselves. We are debarred from the unions and must accept any employment under the poorest conditions for work. Industrially we are facing America with an economic status that is isoefully in need of being built up. In Business: We have just scratched the surface in business. With 74 banks and 60 insurance companies we are short in all the other lines. We have not grasped the idea of supporting our own. Will a Jew walk by his own people to trade with a Gentile? Never! We must learn that racial clannishness for racial perpetuation and the proper support of our business enterprises is both justifiable and needed. We need more help in establishing business. There must be some sources from which to obtain capital for business purposes. We are facing America with our business enterprises sadly in need of Negro support. In Organizations: There are many organizations among us but they are all out of harmony. There is no common cause between them. We must have racial leadership. We cannot afford to be "represented" by organizations that have white people as officers and dominating the policy of that organization. Do the Germans in this country have Frenchmen for the officers of their organizations? Do the Catholics have Baptists for the officers of their organizations? Do the Irish have Englishmen as heads of their organizations in this country? Do you find Turks at the head of the Armenian organizations in America? Then why in God's name should we have American prejudiced, scheming and race defaming white men at the head of our racial organizations? We are going to join racial organizations with white officers when we find white racial organizations in America with Negroes at the head of them. Not until then. This brings us to the clarion call issued by Prof. Kelly Miller in THE TRIBUNE of January 6, He said: "The Negro alone is separated from the rest of the nation by the whole diameter of social differences which entails the regulation of all of the essential intimacies of life. . . Special and specific racial interests require as thotful and as wise deliberation as the Congress gives to the affairs of the nations. 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 co-ordination or union of purpose. The waste and friction are inexcusable. The demand for a nation-wide conference is imperative." May we draw up our "agenda" and set the time and place for a national conference and agree on a program for the race in America and then eliminate every self-appointed, self-constituted and self-guided leader and all those who have proven traitors to the race. We shall also eliminate the hand picked leaders forced upon us by our "white friends." Those who are so entangled that they cannot subscribe to the program agreed upon at this national conference will automatically eliminate themselves. This must be a conference of Negroes, by Negroes and for Negroes. May we suggest a few subjects for consideration? 1. Disfranchisement and the full use of the ballot in the states open to the Negro. 2. Selection of candidates in every district where we have twenty-five per cent or more of the voting strength. 3. Improvement of school facilities and better pay for our teachers. Elimination of white presidents and instructors in our colleges and universities. 4. Taxation without representation. 5.

SOUTH AMERICANS VISIT HERE. On the last lap of a six-months' tour, covering many points in Europe, Dr. J. N. Fox, graduate of the Howard Dental School in 1905, arrived in Washington last week for a few days' visit to his alma mater and friends. Dr. Fox is a native of British Guiana, South America and is located in Georgetown. He has done remarkably well in his practice and says that his country is rich in natural resources and offers the man with money and desiring adventure great and wonderful returns for his investment. Dr. Fox says that gold and diamonds are to be had from the alluvial soil of his country. He wore, as a fob for his watch, a gold nugget as it came from the ground, and he displayed "a diamond in the rough," which he claimed were found in the surface soil of his section. Mrs. Fox joined the doctor in New York and will return with him. They left Thursday for New York, from which port they are to sail on the 3d of February for their home. Mrs. Fox is a native of Dutch Guiana, which is separated from British Guiana by the River Corentyn. Dr. and Mrs. Fox were the house guests of Rev. and Mrs. D. E. Wiseman.
