No One Was Hurt MATRON DISCOVERED BLAZE Students Put Up Valiant Fight Until Fire Department Arrives Miner Hall, the girls' dormitory at Howard University, was the scene of a fire last Wednesday evening, February 7, about 7:30 o'clock. It is not known how the fire originated. The flames were first discovered in the attic on the north wing of the hall, just over the seniors' hall. The damage to the building is estimated at between $3,000 and $5,000. The damage to furnishings and the girls' clothing and effects by smoke and water, could not be determined. The attic was in flames in three places when the fire was discovered by Miss Watts, a matron and assistant to Dean Slowe. Attempts were made to extinguish the flames before the fire alarm was turned in. The ringing of the bell, at this hour, brought several hundred male students to the campus, who immediately began to fight the flames, which were spreading rapidly. The students fought the fire with the emergency hose in the building until the fire department arrived and quickly checked the flames. When the fire started most of the students were out of the building. The damage done was mostly from water. The school officials have been investigating the cause of the fire but have not arrived at any conclusion. However, it believed that the fire started from some of the girls doing cooking in the attic with the use of canned head and electricity. It is rumored that some of the girls had a habit of going up in the attic and making cocoa and fudge candies and it is thought that some one must have been careless with the cooking and thereby caused the fire. MORE BRUTALITY IN SEVENTH PRECING Another case of brutality on part of policemen of the 7th precinct, was unearthed last week. The cast has been taken up by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, under the direction of Mr. Shelby J. Davidson. On Friday, February 2nd, at 28th and Dumbarton Ave., officer Dowd of the 7th precinct, in plain clothes, accompanied by another officer in plain clothes, a sergeant and one uiformed policeman, approached Joseph S. Boyd, who before the approach of the officer, had been talking with Vernon Frazier, of 2704 N Street, N. W., and had been asked for a match by Frazier. Before he could give Frazier the match, an officer told them to move on. When told to move on, Boyd was under the impression that Frazier was following him and remembering he had asked him for a match, turned to give him the match, but instead of seeing Frazier, he faced officer Dowd who immediately grabbed him by the collar of his coat and cursed him.

VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE The Washington Tribune COMMUTES SENTENCES OF 24th INFANTRYMEN By an order of the War Department issued last week, twenty of the former members of the 24th Infantry who are serving sentences at Leavenworth prison, had their sentences commuted. Nineteen of the twenty had their sentences reduced from life to twenty years; and the other one from life to eighteen years. The men are part of a group of 65 former soldiers of the famous 24th, who were convicted of participation in the Houston, Tex., race roit. August 23, 1917. The action of the War Department is the result of a petition filed last summer by the N. A. A. C. P., with President Harding. The petition had 50,000 signatures ATHLETIC FIELD AND GYMNASIUM ASSURED HOWARD Many Needs of University Will Be Met When Completed A stadium, gymnasium, athletic field, and assembly hall is assured Howard University as a result of President Harding's signing the appropriation bill for the Department of the Interior.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10 1923 New Migration Movement from South Started "To Better Our Condition Is Chief Reason Given For Leaving Negro migration and immigration on a large scale is indicated in reports issued during the last few weeks. According to a report from Oklahoma, 15 families left Okmulgee, Oklahoma for Mexico. The party consisted of tenant farmers and was composed of 100 people. The Mexican government is wholly in accord with the colonization movement and will welcome the thousands of Negro "pilgrims," according to a statement made by J. B. Key, president of the International Community Welfare League, which is sponsoring the movement. It is said that larger colonies are to follow in the spring. Also a movement of Negro unskilled labor from the South to northern industrial centers, considered rather remarkable for winter months, was announced last week by James J. Davis, Secretary of Labor, as the result of an investigation by Phil H. Brown, Commissioner of Conciliation in that department. This is the first gesture toward a northern shift of this class of workers that has been noticeable since the war, when the labor famine was met by their inclusion; but the present movement is in no manner widespread or considered general, like the previous one. Payrolls of a number of districts in northern and central western industrial points are being slightly swelled by the employment of these workers who come directly from southern states, with Georgia yielding the greatest number of migrants. In general, however, continued migration from the South is indicated, with a slowly increasing absorption of Negro labor by northern industry just as rapidly as its increased output is demanded. In this connection, the iron and steel industry continues to lead in demand for Negro labor, with meatpacking, glass, transportation, food production, etc., closely following; and the probability is great that a wider entrance than ever before, so far as specific occupations and types of employment are concerned, will eventually result from this growing movement of labor. The most significant phase of the movement is that it obtains in face of a reluctance of this labor to drift northward in winter, and the suggestion prevails that the Spring will bring larger numbers, providing the industrial demands prevail. By J. A. Bray. ( in the Birmingham Reporter.) Atlanta, Ga.—Knowing that your publication is interested in whatever affects the welfare of the race, after visiting many annual conferences in the South and especially the Georgia conferences, I am writing you some observations on the Negro exodus from the South. I must confess my very great surprise at revelations connected with the exodus of our people from parts of the South as evidenced at annual conferences of the C. M. E. church in Georgia. Traveling on the railroads much and especially on the trunk lines out of the South, such as the Frisco Lines, the Illinois Central and the Louisville & Nashville railroads, I knew that there was a gradual stream of Negroes flowing north, but reports of church membership in the different sections of the State of Georgia showed an alarming loss of members. This was so pronounced that at three annual conferences of the C. M. E. church Bishop R. S. Williams, the continued on page 6 Long Bitter Fight Against Separate Schools Culminates In Great Victory for the Race Springfield, Ohio. (Special)—The fight against separate schools here has been won. The Civil Rights Protective League through its various agencies, deserves credit for the victory. All through the chilly snows of December and January, women of this organization did picket duty around the Fulton School, which the board of education was trying to make a separate school. Trouble started last fall when the board set aside the Fulton school for colored students. A corps of colored teachers was obtained for the school. However, when the board began to withdraw the colored students from other schools, the trouble started, with a result of the victory stated above. Although several towns in Ohio tolerate separate schools, the citizens of Springfield were determined that their constitutional rights in this regard should not be violated. Cincinnati and Columbus are among the cities having separate schools. In order to win this victory, it was necessary for the colored voters to elect a Democratic judge in the elections last fall. As soon as the new judge took his seat; matters began to pick up. The fight has been one of the most bitter in the history of the State. In a decision handed down by Judge Frank M. Krapp of common pleas court, the local school board was restrained from transferring children to or from the Fulton school or any other school on the basis of race or color. In respect to the Fulton school where all colored teachers have been employed by the board for this school year, Judge Krapp reserved the method of putting the ruling of the court into effect for furher consideration. For the school year beginning next fall, the court held, all children resident of the Fulton district will be required to attend Fulton school, except such as may be permitted to attend other schools for some special reason not based on race or color. "Such special reason," the decision reads, "shall rest in the sound discretion of the board and its superintendent, but-shall not be frivolous, colorable or arbitrary." Methodical Plan In regards to the question raised by the school board in its defense that no separate school was created the decision reads: "The evidence es- Wm. Stevenson Goes With Supreme Life Insurance Co. Mr. William Stevenson, secretary of the 12th Street Branch Y. M. C. A. tendered his resignation to the local board of managers last week to take effect March 1st. Mr. Stevenson is resigning from the "Y" to take charge of the local agency of the Supreme Life and Casualty Insurance Co., of Columbus, Ohio. The Supreme Life recently opened an agency in the District of Columbia. So far, under the direction of Mr. Bently, who is temporarily in charge, the company has written an unusually large amount of business here. With Mr. Stevenson in charge after March 1st, the company is expected to take its place as one of the leading ones doing business here. The company maintains offices at 1918½ 14th Street, N. W. Mr. Stevenson issued the following statement in regard to his resignation this week: "Some time ago I was offered the general agency of the Supreme Life and Casualty Company in the District of Columbia. After considering same I have decided to accept and will take charge not later than the first of tablishes beyond all controversy a careful and methodical plan to create a separate school by a discrimination based solely on race and color in the assignment of pupils. This brings the fact squarely under a decision of the supreme court of Ohio in the case of the Board of Education versus State. "There is no occasion for a discussion of the law. The supreme court has spoken, and this court has no opinion in the matter. It must follow the law as laid down without regard to any personal views on the subject. "Counsel for defendant have raised some other questions which can be quickly disposed of. One is that segregated schools are not illegal of themselves. This is true. When a district is populated by one race exclusively, the school is necessarily a separate school for children of that race. But this is a natural result not brought about by manipulation. Another Contention "Another contention is that no compulsion is used with respect to children in the Fulton district. That the permission extended to some does not amount to compulsion as to others to whom such permission is denied. That is pure sophistry. When children are required to attend school, and all schools but one are closed to certain of them, it is idle to say that there is no compulsory discrimination with respect to such children. "The situation is not saved by the fact that white children may attend Fulton school. The fact is that none do, and none are reasonably expected to do so. Much is made of the fact that three white children of one family enrolled and attended one day. It is claimed that they would attend now if not prevented by threats. But there if nothing but hear-say evidence to support this claim. Neither the children nor their parents were called to give their testimony. Even if true, one sporadic incident of this character would not alter the substantial facts of the situation. It is only by severe straining and twisting of both the law and the evidence, that the claim of the board through its superintendent and others, could be held legal. "However unpopular this decision may be to many, this court cannot do other than render judgment in accordance with the law and the evidence, as it sees them." March. My resignation as Executive Secretary of the 12th Street Branch Y. M. C. A. has already been tendered. "I wish to thank the members and friends of the Y. M. C. A. for the support rendered during my administration. "In my new field of labor I shall strive to render to all the best possible service."

Officers and Board of Directors for Ensuing Year Are Elected That great forward strides are being made by the Allied Industrial Finance Corporation was definitely shown from the reports of the president, Dr. Emmett J. Scott, and the treasurer, Mr. John R. Hawkins, at the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation held at offices of the Corporation, 1901 Seventh Street, N.W., January 30th. The reports of these two officers show that the Corporation has succeeded in having more than one-half of its first offering of $250,000 worth of its stock subscribed for, and enough paid in, to have warranted the officers of the Corporation to decide that it would enter actively upon its program of giving financial assistance to Negro business enterprises beginning July 1, 1922. Large Amount of Business Handled The wisdom of the decision of the officers to have the Corporation begin active business on July 1, 1922, is shown by the fact that the investments made brought sufficient returns to enable the Directors to declare a quarterly dividend at the rate of eight per cent a year for the period July 1, through September 30th, 1922. Upon the showing made according to the books of the treasurer, the directors have again voted to declare a second dividend payment at the rate of eight per cent a year for the second quarter, October 1st, through December 31st, 1922. Stockholders Give Enthusiastic Approval to Program The enthusiastic approval of the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation was evidenced by the reelection of the following men as Directors: Whitfield McKinlay, M. O. Dumas, John R. Hawkins, A. B. Jackson, Emmett J. Scott, A. M. Curtis, and Norman L. McGhee, of Washington; S. W. Green, of New Orleans; T. H. Kiah, of Princess Anne, Maryland; Joseph L. Jones, of Cincinnati; E. C. Brown, of Philadelphia; R. M. Fowler, Jr., of Atlantic City; J. B. Stubbs and S. G. Elbert, of Wilmington, Delaware. The strength of the Board of Directors was increased by the addition of Dr. George E. Cannon, a prominent physician, of Jersey City, who has taken leadership in many affairs affecting the colored people of New Jersey and of the nation. Vital Need for the Corporation Shown In speaking of the important service which the Allied Industrial Finance Corporation is rendering, Dr. Scott, the president, in his report to the stockholders stated: "Nothing more vividly indicates the need and necessity for a corporation such as the Allied than the experience which your officers have had in having brought before them so many investments opportunities of a worthy nature which have had to be turned down because all the available funds were already invested. In keeping with the program of the Corporation, the officers and directors have given careful and especial attention to the large number of applications for loans with which the Corporation has been deluged ever since it actively beban business. It has been difficult for the officers to sift out just which of the many applications should be favorably acted upon in view of the fact that there have been so many applications from worthy persons and concerns and funds of the Corporation have never been (Continued on page 3) If The Tribune is not being delivered to you promptly, notify the office at once.

Men's Club Files Protest IS UNPOPULAR EVERYWHERE Strong Protest Sent to Vice-President and the Speaker of the House The movement to erect in Washington a monument the "Faithful Colored Mammies of the South," by the Jefferson Davis Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. A number of protests were filed this week with Vice-President Coolidge, Speaker Gillet, and the House Committee on Library. Rev. E. D. W. Jones, pastor of Union Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church and president of the Ministerial Alliance of Washington, denounced the plan when interviewed by a Tribune reporter. Through the efforts of Rev. Jones, the Men's Club of his church sent a strong protest to the Committee on Library. The Board of Directors of the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A. filed a protest against the monument. The protest which was signed by a number of prominent women of Washington, called attention to the fact that, "The white Americans do not speak of their earlier descent except with sympathy and sadness. They do not raise monuments to accentuate their humble origin." The protest then went further and stated that, "We, the colored women of the city of Washington do not like to be vividly reminded of the unfortunate conditions of some of our ancestors; as were the helots of Greece and the serfs of Russia." The protest was signed by: Frances Boyce, Marion P. Shadd, Emma F. G. Merritt, M. E. Cabanism, Myrtle A. Chiles, Julia West Hamilton, Fannie M. Hamlin, Angie E. Cromwell, E. V. C. Williams, Susie B. Green, Matilda H. Wesley, Ethel K. Graham, Martha Barksdale, Thomasine Corrothers and Martha A. McAdoo.

Business Men To Hold Business Men's Week At the invitation of Rev. Charles E. Stewart of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, a number of prominent local business men met in the pastor's study last Monday night and in an informal way, discussed the pastor's suggestion to have a "Business Men's Week' during the month of March.

LOCAL TALENT SUCCESSFUL IN DRAMA The drama "Everywoman" presented at the Lincoln Theatre Thursday night and Friday afternoon by Mrs. Mary Ross Dorsey of Boston, and cast of fifty persons selected from Washington's local talent, was one of the most gigantic efforts in dramatics staged in the nation's capital in recent years. A large crowd packed the Lincoln Theatre. To say that Mrs. Dorsey has pleased critical Washington is putting it mild. "Everywoman" is a 5 act allegorical drama of very high class English style; and very difficult to handle from every point. The way Mrs. Dorsey trained fifty of Washington's local players to take their respective parts so perfectly, herself playing the stella role was commentable. The acting of Mrs. Mortimer Harris as Youth was remarkable. She has greatly pleased and surprised Washington inasmuch as she has prover herself to be especially talented in dramatic art. This is also true of Mrs. J. Williams Clifford as Modesty. Mrs. Phyllis Terrell Goines as Beauty and Mr. Broadnax as Wealth. Mr Guy's portrayal of Nobody was beyond description. Mrs. Dorsey left the city this week for Baltimore where she is arranging to present the drama. She will return here Friday when she will be presented at the Normal School.

Church, Baltimore, been so completely filled with an enthusiastic audience as was assembled there January 30 when the Amphion Glee Club, J. Henry Lewis, director, was presented by the Post Office Glee Club of that city. A pleasant feature of this event was the spirit of cooperation manifested between the two organizations. The opening number was sung jointly under the directorship of Mr. Lewis, and the closing number was similarly given with Mr. Thomas handling the baton. The Amphions received a great ovation and were compelled to respond to frequent and insistent encores. After the recital a reception was tendered the Amphions at the Royal Palace Hotel and this was attended by many notable people. The Post Office Glee Club is composed of a fine set of young men who are connected with the government service in Baltimore, and although it is only two years old their concerted work is far above the average.

This is going to be the greatest hit of the year and after it is all over, we will have but the solemn days of Lent to wile the time away.

Growth of Corporation Means Greater Assistance for Negro Business Entreprises The above statement from the president of the Allied Industrial Finance Corporation points out in a very definite way just what a concern of this kind can to assist Negro business enterprises. It is easily seen that when this Corporation has succeeded in placing larger amounts of its stock in the hands of the investing public, it will have at its disposal greater sums with which to give assistance to the terprises, and it will not only be in position to render great service in connection with the economic progress of the race, but it will be able to pay larger dividends and become the great outstanding success which its stockholders are anxious that it shall be. Officers of the Corporation Re-Elected The Board of Directors of the Allied Finance Corporation met following the meeting of stockholders and voted unanimously that the following men who had served as officers during the year 1922 be re-elected: Emmett J.

"MONTE CRISTO" THE FIELD OF SPORTS What We Should Learn From the Past Football Season PAGE FOUR THE FI What We Should L Football The future welfare of football is dependent upon the men who for all practical purposes now control it—the coaches. On the shoulders of these teachers of football tactics and moulders of characters on the gridiron rest the inculcation of the principles of will, morale and discipline in those directly under them and incidentally those otherwise connected with the institution. No other college official has a more profound effect on the characters of the under-graduates or whose influence extends to the spectators entirely separated from the institution. Yet, unless he can produce a winner each and every year the coache's lot these days is a most unhappy one. His salary, prestige, and position are governed by the number of victories recorded. The fundamental duty of making men physically, morally and metnally better is loss sight of at the price of victory. The Football Coaches Association has pretty thoroughly and satisfactorily covered those things expected of coaches in a code. As ethical practices coaches have been urged "to refuse to teach sideline coaching, clipping, intentional roughness and other methods of violating the letter or spirit of rules; to encourage respect toward officials and discourage abusive talk between opposing players during a game; to elevate the ideals above the desire to win at any price; to work in harmony with the academic purposes of institutions, and to discourage proselyting, recruiting, betting, professional football, spirit of commercialism and other influences tending to substitute for such character-building qualities in players, as loyalty, self-sacrifice and devotion." Two young men whose names are already indebled in football history as ranking with the greatest in their positions who ever trod a gridiron, promising but infants in the coaching world, were responsible for the utter disregard of spectators, and the blot on the good name of the game and represented institutions on four occasions last season by forfeiting games. Colored college football has yet to witness a season that was not marred by a forfeiture. It is up to the coaches to see to it that the coming season inaugurates the entire elimination of forfeitures. While interesting it would require too much space to outline the different styles of coaching. Some govern with an iron hand and get results, such as Dr. Morrison, Howard's last season's mentor, is credited. While another type allows more liberty to the players but have it understood who the coach is. Opens 3 p. Daily Sundays 3 p. The youthful age of present-day collegians has greatly simplified the task of coaches. The most difficult proposition these days is to make the youngsters hustle at all times. The majority of the successful coaches of today advocate allowing the players to exercise aggressiveness and initiative to the extent of not injuring team-play. Hevetofore our college authorities have failed to compensate coaches and athletic directors to the full extent for their services. We know of more than one capable coach whose salary is entirely too meagre for the results that they are obtaining. On this account few Race men seek this field as a vocation. Every institution should back the coach who teaches the game along modern lines and presents wholesome competition marked by constructive work for the purpose of promoting the best interests of the game. GIRLS' BASKET BALL Orioles, Maryland State Champs Coming On Thursday night, February 15 at Murray's Casino the Orioles, Maryland State Champions for four years will make their first appearance in Washington. This team has been playing together for some time and thereby developed remarkable team work and skilled shots. Last year they won the championship in a city league in Baltimore where six teams took part and also games from many other cities. The two players who won renown for themselves were Camper and Spriggs. It will be of great interest to many to see just how this team will compare with the local Y team on next Thursday night. All Washington basketball lovers know Fannie Minor, Blanch Winston and Rubie Duffrey. Well the "Y" team has some others you will like to know just as well. WILLS-DEMPSEY DEVELOPMENT By H.

With the arrival of Jess demand for a return bout with Dempp-Williard in the East and his incessant sey things began to hum. Then followed the Johnson-Brennan bout; the arrival of Dempsey; Tex Rickard's paying of $1,000 to Jack Kearn, allowing Tex a week to negotiate without interference; refusal of New Jersey to a permit of a Dempsey-Williard bout and other minor doings. Yet, the spectacular and noteworthy happenings of January hardly compare with what has already developed during the past seven days. On the first of February.

Chairman William Muldoon, of the New York Athletic Commission, with whom Harry Wills placed $2,500 some months ago to bini his challenge, added further steam to the situation by announcing that the Wills-Dempsey bout could not be staged in New York because of Dempsey's excessive financial demands and alleged commercial methods employed by promoters. No racial question, he emphasized, however, was involved in his decision, although during his regime few mixed bouts have been held in New York. Muldoon's edict aroused the ire of Senator Walker, father of the present boxing bill in New York who came out with the statement that if any attempt was made to draw the color line that he would take steps at once to repeal the law. Muldoon retaliated by claiming the Senator was playing politics and spoke without full knowledge of the facts and that he (Muldoon) considered Wills and ideal athlete but acted only in the best interest of boxing, holding no prejudice against Colored boxers. He referred however to the policy of the big leagues in barring Negro baseball players. Jess Williard again appeared on the scene by announcing that he had lowered the colored line and was ready to meet Wills. Immediately after Jack Johnson sold him the title Jess hid his bulky form behind the color line and has refused to meet any Colored fighters. In reviewing the developments up to date the connclusion is being passed back and forth. Apparently Rickard and Muldoon are working together. For Rickard to offer an enormous sum for a championship match would mean a big increase in purses for all fights at Madison Square Garden which is under his management. Muldoon's job is strictly a political one with no salary attached and his rake-off must come from some source. The Commission head has nothing to lose by sticking with Rickard, and so he is. Muldoon has been inconsistent in his edicts and has spared nothing to discriminate against Negro boxers. Not alone for the benefit of Race prejudice but for the continued prosperity of boxing in New York, Governor Smith should at once see to it that he is replaced.

The city championship also is involved in the games to be played between the two local schools beginning February 8 when Armstrong visits its strong opponent at Dunbar. Up to date the games played by these two schools seem to favor Armstrong as the prospectiv winner, for out of eleven contests her boys have been winners eight times whereas Dunbar has only one victory to ten defeats for the season. Nevertheless the Red and Black defenders feel that the contests to be played will be registered on the "won" side of the page Wilmington, Del, Basketball team Visits Armstrong On Thursday February 15, the basketball team from the Wilmington High School will be the guests and opponents of the boys at Armstrong in an afternoon game beginning at 3 o'clock. I the game recently played by these teams at Wilmington the latter team gave Armstrong quite a scare by leading at the end of the first half, the score being 11 to the visitors' 8. The final score, however was in favor of the Orange and Elue by a scant margin. With grim determination in their minds to retrieve for this loss the boys from the small state are planning to spring a surprise on Thursday in the Armstrong gym. An excellent orchestra has been secured to add to the festivities after the game. FOLLOWING closely upon the report that Siki has been refused permission to land in England comes the announcement that the Senegalese has been matched to meet Mike McTigue, Irish-American light heavyweight in Dublin, Ireland, March 17.

Adams “AIDA”—ETHIOPIAN OPERA DAZZLES BRILLIANT WHITE AUDIENCE A fashionable throng of 2,500 white citizens was awakened. to a true sense ‘of civie consciousness at Poli’s this week as they witnessed the wonderful operas of “Aida,” “Tosca,” and “Snow Maiden” with Rosa Raisa, Mary Gar- den und thie entire Chicago Opera ‘Company. ‘The presentation of “Aida” on the opening night, Monday, thrilled the magnificent gathering to heights of ecstacy. Verdi wrote the score of “Aida” more than fifty years ago; and Cairo, Egypt, on Christmas Eve, 1871, witnessed its initial’ presentation. It is based on Wthiopian monarchial life, the scenes being laid in Egypt. Aida was the daughter of a captive Ethiopian king. It is around her love for Rhadames, the sturdy captain of the guard in the palace of the King of Egypt, that the dramatie scenes revolve. Another charaster, Amneris, is the dangerous rival of Aida for the love’ of Rhadames. ‘The king of the Ethiopians, Amon- asro, was captured by the Egyptians. Between love of his country and his daughter, whom he of course would ike to see happy, his mental struggles are truly dramatie and intense. This carries our minds back to Aby- ssinia, the home of Menelik, the great King now deceased. It is a remark- ably historical country or people. “Abyssinia” is derived from an Ara- bie word meaning mixture or confus- ion, in allusion to the mixed. character of the inhabitants. They prefer to call themselves Ethiopians; and cer- tainly it is a fine old name, which makes even Menelik’s alleged descent from Solomon and the Queen of Sheba seem a modern detail, For, the Ethio- pians, according to the Greeks, were the first inhabitants of the earth, or, at any rate, the first who worshipped the gods. According to Homer, they were the favorite of the gods and the justest of all men. Mr. James P. Johnson, the well- known musician, who has played quite a few numbers for the Q. R. S. Music Roll company, is in the city playing at the Howard Theatre, It is quite a treat to hear this young man. During hiis stay here he has been extensively entertained. by his many friends in the city. S Son SELECT DANCE Given by the members of the U.N.L A. at ODD FELLOWS HALL 16th and M Sts., N. W.

AGENTS WANTED EVERY WHERE—Write for Particulars I want to emphasize these two facts: I furnish a high-class funeral, Consisting of Complete funeral paraphernalia that cannot be equalled in Washington for Quality and Elegance. E. W. BUNDY Washington's Leading Funeral Director 649 Florida Ave., N. W. PAGE SIX Letters to the Editor 2220 6th St., N. W., Washington, D. C., Jan. 30, 1923. To the Editor: It took all the pluck and courage I could summons to read Representative Lankford's speech as it appeared in last week's Tribune, (Jan. 27th) and then when I had rinked I was so full, so nearly bubbling over that I had to read the editorial comment to restore my equilibrium. Some speed, ch? I think it was good for Representative Lankford that he wasn't anywhere around during the high tide. Well, I think it was a real cracker speech, a "rosin chewer's" sp——, by the way what is a "rosin chewer"? I suppose that's what Representative Lankford is, but I never heard of one before. The Georgia Representative doesn't seem to be aware that just such a speech as he delivered is a most effective instrument for breeding hatred in a people. After all, one feels a kind of pity for Representative Lankford. That he belongs to another, a past generation is only too evident. I can agree with the representative in only one part of his speech, that part in which he states that "the race problem will be solved when the Negro race end the white race find out that the thing to do is to do that which will cause the least friction between the races, and promote the best feeling between the white man, and the colored man." But Representative Lankford and his people do not seem to know that the best way to cause the least friction between the two races is to give to the colored man the protection, rights and privileges that are accorded any other race and that are rightfully his. Either the white man knows what to do to stop the friction and is attempting to ignore it, or we haven't caused enough FRICTION to wake him up to the thing which will promote the best feeling between the white man and the colored man. Sincerely yours. (Miss) A. M. MARZETTE. (Editor's Note: "Rosin Chewer" is a term applied to the poor whites who live in the terpentine section of Georgia and Alabama, it being claimed that these whites chew rosin, a byproduct in the terpentine industry, instead of tobacco.) New Migration from the South Started (Continued from page 1) presiding bishop, delivered strong addresses cautioning our people not to sacrifice their good homes and property and their hold upon sure positions in industry for an uncertainty. The bishop set aside a night known as "education night" at each conference and had the secretary of [Picture of a man with a mustache and a suit]. I want to emphasize these funeral, 'Consisting of Complete funealled in Washington for Quality E. W. Washington's Leadi 649 Florida ```markdown ``` James A. Bray, to deliver an address devoted largely to warning against Negroes becoming "panicky" in their immigration movement. The annual conferences which we attended in the State of George held their annual session at La Grange, Milledgeville and Atlanta. These three conferences included the colored Methodist churches in the southwest, the central and the northern part of Georgia and although we did not attend the southeast conference, we were told by the presiding bishop that the reduction in membership due to the exodus was just as great as in the other three conferences. As the writer sat and listened to preacher after preacher read his report to the annual conference, calling out so and-so many "withdrawn to go north," for there was scarcely a report read that did not state several more or less gone north, the writer became curious to know just how telling the sum total going out of the C. M. E. church in four conferences would show. The presiding bishop who holds the official reports said publicly that between three and four thousand had moved north out of these conferences since their last annual session. In most instances the rural churches showed the greater loss. Not that a larger percentage had gone north from the rural districts, but many had gone from the rural districts into the cities as well as to the north, and while the city churches showed considerable loss there was some compensation from the rural districts. Among the rural churches in all three of these conferences at La Grange, Milledgeville and Atlanta, the bishop and presiding elders had to combine several churches to make a membership large enough to support a pastor. Some of the smaller towns in which there have been good churches with strong memberships supporting a pastor well, have been so reduced in Negro population, that the churches are practically missions unable to support a pastor. In Sparta, Ga., the C. M. E. church is one of the oldest Methodist congregations in the South. The sainted and well-known Bishop L. H. Holsey, one of the senior bishops of the C. M. E. church, was a member of this church. For many years Sparta Station has been one of the strongest appointments in the Central Georgia Conference. Some of the most outstanding preachers of the State pastored this charge. When the report was read by the pastor before the recent annual conference at Milledgeville, the membership of this noted church was so reduced by members going north that the church was no longer found to be self-supporting and had to be placed on a circuit with another church, after being transferred into another conference. Other towns could be cited as instances, but suffice it to say that every town and city church of the C. M. E. connection shows great loss.

We asked why this expenditure of so much money to leave home. The reply came. We have come to the conclusion that the best investment we can make in the South is in a railroad ticket to get out." Mrs. J. Milton Hopkins is sick at her residence. Mrs. Gertrude C. Hopkins, 812 Madison St., is convalescent. Mr. L. G. Brooks is out again after several weeks illness. His wife is convalescent. Mrs. S. W. Madden continues very ill. Her daughter, Mrs. C. C. Murray is substituting for her at Parker-Gray School. Revenue Day at Shiloh Baptist Church, Wednesday, eight February The writer was anxious to know if other denominations were similarly affected by the Negro exodus. Bishop J. S. Flipper, of the A. M. E. church presiding bishop of all the A. M. E. annual conferences in Georgia, visited the C. M. E. conference in Atlanta, December 14, and privately he told us and publicly in an address that the same alarming conditions confronted the A. M. E. church. The writer visited annual conferences and the tale of the stream of Negroes going north is almost uniform. There is a larger movement from Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi than from the other States as we have been able to observe. Observation and testimony bear witness that those going and those planning to go are not the "riff raff"—not the thrifless, not the most ignorant, but a large percentage of prosperous, industrious and intelligent Negro citizens. Many of the strongest ministers of the Methodist churches are being transferred to pastor these members who have migrated and have built or bought the finest houses of worship for Negroes in the country. Many of the most outstanding Baptist preachers are being called by these members who have gone from our Southland. In reply to the question put to these people as to why they have gone, are going and plan to go, the almost uniform reply is, "to better our condition." We have asked earnestly, seeking light, "What are the conditions of which you complain?" The reply, "Poor schools, bad condition of travel, ill treatment without recourse, the mob and lynching spirit, denial of fair treatment in courts and we see no hope for better conditions." The writer, in summing up the situation, makes the following comment: "The Negro does not really want to leave the South. The warm climate, friendly ties, tender memories and productive soils and some real friends among the whites, make the going away just a little less painful than breaking heart strings. "But their children must be educated. They want to feel safe as to the protection of their lives and the right to enjoy the fruits of their labor. They long for an atmosphere of peace, free from social animosities and strife. They want to feel that the innocent of their race will be encouraged and free from promiscuous attack. They are willing for the guilty to be punished but not that color shall be an evidence of guilt." Senator Wm. King Speaks United States Senator Wm. H. King of Utah, in addressing the Century Club at the Branch Y. M. C. A. last Sunday afternoon said that he was in favor of the U. S. Government keeping its troops out of Haiti. He said further that several hundred Haitians have been killed as a result of their opposition to the presence of the U. S. troops. Senator King voiced his belief that as Haiti belonged to the Haitians, they should be permitted to run their own government and work out their own problems. A large and appreciative audience heard the Senator, who was introduced by Dr. A. M. Curtis.

Several years ago Robert Peary achieved much fame by discovering the North Pole. He had many difficulties in doing this because he had to cross vast icefields and plow through miles of deep snow. Along with Admiral Peary, went Matthew Henson, a colored man, and they together explore Arctic regions and found the North Pole. Peary and Henson were the only two civilized men who could boast of standing exactly on the top of the earth and of being right at the North Pole. But a few years ago Admiral Peary died and was buried in Arlington National Cemetery where there is now a beautiful monument to his memory. At the present time Matthey Henson is the only living man who has been right where the North Pole is and who has stood on the very top of the earth, "and he is one of our race."

Dear Editor: I like the article "Emancipation and the Freed in American Sculpture." I am not going to wait for it to be completed in the paper, I am going to buy a copy. I am very pleased with the Page. This is my first letter, although I have been reading the Page since it first began. I enjoy the puzzles and questions even if I do not send them in. Dear Editor: I read Alice Fauntroy's recipe recently and am encouraged to send in one for nut jumbles. One-fourth cupful of butter, one-fourth cupful of drippings, one cupful of granulated sugar, two eggs, one-half cupful of sour milk, two and one-half cupful of flour, one-half teaspoonful of soda, one-half teaspoonful of flavoring, one-half cupful of any desired nut meats chopped. Cream together the butter, drippings and sugar, stir in the milk and the two eggs, beaten without separating. Add the flour, into which the soda has been sifted, then the flavoring and the nut meats. Drop in rings on a greased pan and bake a light yellow in a hot oven. OLIVE BARRETT (Age 14) Dear Editor: I am a Catholic girl. I like the "Children's Page."

An INDIAN MEMORY An INDIAN MEMORY The most retentive memory in America is said to belong to a native Indian of the Yakima tribe. His brain cells register everything he sees or hears. During the war he served with the army in France and was of much value in carrying long messages, observing positions or checking supplies, according to an Indian Bureau report. When he was in camp he could call off a regimental roster and catalogue every item of equipment without any note or memorandum. On one occasion, after making a full report of observations to the extent of a thousand items or more, he repeated the full text of a lecture he had heard the night before. This was in the presence of the lecturer himself and was pronounced perfect. Dear Editor: Hello! Here's a smile I hope you will publish. I clipped it from a magazine. While the parson preaches and talks and prays. Tis queer how the public will eulogize And laud you up to the vaulted skies.

Dear Editor: I am sending you the national hymn for the colored people of America.

The name is "Lift Every Voice and Sing." CARRIE BARRETT. Negro National Hymn Lift ev'ry voice and sing Till earth and heaven ring; Ring with the harmonies of Liberty; Let our rejoicing rise High as the list'ning skies, Let it resound loud as the rolling seas; Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us, Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us, Facing the rising sun Of our new day begun. Let us march on till victory is won. Stony the road we trod, Bitter he chasn'ting rod, Bitter the chasn'ting rod fell in the days when hope died. Yet with a steady beat Have not our weary feet Come to the place for which our fathers sighed? We have come over a way that with tears has been watered, We have come, treading our path thro' the blood of the slaughtered, Out from the gloomy past. Till now we stand at last Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast. God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, Thou who has brought us thus far on the way; Thou who hast by thy might, Led us into the light, Keep us forever in the path, we pray Lest our feet stray from the places our God, where we met Thee, Lest our heart drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee. Shadowed beneath Thy hand May we forever stand, True to our God True to our native land. TRIBUNITE'S PLEDGE 1. I will never use the word "nigger." 2.

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. HOW FATHERS INFLUENCE THEIR CHILDREN. In the Woman's Home Companion Charles E. Jefferson, pastor of Broadway Tabernacle, New York City, writes a pointed sermon to fathers, in which he says in part: "In the earlier years children can be controlled by their mother; but by and by there comes a time when they begin to note the conduct of the father. No eyes are keener than the eyes of a child. He sees everything the father does; he reflects on what the father does not do. His logic is inexorable. He argues his way to conclusions which cannot be shaken. If his father does not pray, prayer must be unnecessary. Grown men surely know what is needed. If his father never reads the Bible, then the big book can be dispensed with. Fathers know what books are most worth reading. If he does not go to church, then church attendance is a pastime and not a duty, for men so old and wise as father is would not neglect church, if church were of value to them." EMANCIPATION AND THE FREED IN AMERICAN SCULPTURE FREEMAN HENRY MORRIS MURRAY (Continued from last week) (Note: A picture of "The Freedman" statuee appeared on this page, January 27.-Ed.) THE "FREEDMAN," BY J. Q. A. WARD While Europe and America were talking of Story's "Libyan Sibyl" the Emancipation Proclamation took effect and American Art added its approval and ratification. John Quinney Adams Ward, a sculptor, not perhaps then famous but already well known, sent to an exhibition in New York (in 1868) his modest, unostentatious "Freedman." This again set the art world to talking and to praising. This was a statueet only twenty inches high but it embodied large ideas. As to its meaning and significance, Jarves said (in 1864): "Completely original in itself, a genuine inspiration of American history, noble in thought and lofty in sentiment. . . . A naked slave has burst his shackles, and with uplifted face thanks God for freedom. We have seen nothing in our sculpture more soul-lifting or more comprehensively eloquent. It tells in one word the whole sad story of slavery and the bright story of emancipation." The "Freedman," like many other great works of art and profound literary compositions, reveals itself differently to different minds and temperaments. These differences of interpretation—the varying responses of individual souls—are inherent in that which is profound and sublime. "My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are my ways your ways, saith the Lord"; and the more profound and God-like the working of the mind of an individual at a given time, the more the quotation applies to that mind as contrasted with the minds of the multitude. Few of us can canter through Milton and Dante, or through Shakespeare and Browning, as we do thurpe Dickens and Stevenson. Not that Dickens and Stevenson are not "great" in certain ways, for they are. Ward, whose "Freedman" we are discussing, is also great in his "Indian Hunter" in Central Park, New York, and in his equestrian statue of General Thomas in Washington, although neither of these purports to be profound. But the "Freedman" was conceived in a different mood and under different conditions; and simple as it superficially appears, there is no work in American sculpture which has a higher claim to be profound. Thus, while Jarves saw in the "Freedman" an uplifted face thanking God for freedom, another American critic, at a later date, saw something different. Charles C. Caffin, in his book, "American Masters of Sculpture," (published in 1903) says of it (page 44): "It shows simply a Negro, in an entirely natural pose, who has put forth his strength and is looking very quietly at the broken fetters. The whole gist of the matter is thus embodied in the most terse and direct fashion, without rodomontade or sentimentality but solely as an objective fact into which there is no intrusion of the sculptor's personal feeling." Caffin's description of the statue is correct enough but in his comment he seems to go entirely too far when he says that Ward kept out of it his personal feeling. It would probably be more correct to say that Ward put into it as much as he could of his personal feeling, having regard for artistic considerations and for his habitual, self-imposed restraint. Notice a little further on what Mr. Taft says as to the "emotion" that Ward wrought into it. There are other interpretations which stress certain of the ideas already noted and suggest others. Tuckerman, in his "Book of the Artists," (published in 1882) quotes an unnamed "intelligent writer" as saying of this statue (page 581): "Here is the simple figure of a seminude Negro, sitting, it may be on the steps of the Capitol, a fugitive, resting his arms upon his knees, his head turned eagerly piercing into the distance for his ever-vigilant enemy, his hand grasping his broken manacles with an energy that bodes no good to his pursuers. A simple story, simply and most plainly told." (See note 5) So much for the story which this intelligent writer reads from this statue. He also sees much to admire on the physical side. He continues: "There is no departure from the negro type. It shows the black man as he runs today. It is no abstraction or bit of metaphysics that needs to be labelled or explained. It is a fact not a fancy. He is all African. With a true and honest instinct, Mr. Ward has gone among the race and from the best specimens, with wonderful patience and perseverance, has selected and combined, and from this race alone erected a noble figure—a form that might challenge the admiration of the mighty Greek. It is a mighty expression of stalwart manhood, which now, thanks to the courage and genius of the artist, stands forth for the first time to assert in the face of the world's prejudices, that, with the best of them he has at least an equal physical conformation." But this statuette, although frank, almost brusk, in its realism—and seemingly simple as is the story that it tells—portrays and suggests, it appears to me, more than has been stated; more even than is set forth by the writer last quoted. It is not difficult to see prophecy as well as history in its form, pose, and accessories; and even more, perhaps, in its lack of accessories. Indeed, if Mr. Ward were living now, fifty years after Emancipation, he could scarcely state the case more truly. The freedman's shackles are broken it is true, but still he is partially fettered; still un-clothed with the rights and progatives which freedom is supposed to connote—a "Freedman" but not a free-man. Observe that the "Freedman" still grasps several links of his chain. May we not think of some of these links as: separation—in schools, in public places, in social life; exclusion from political life; a curtied school curriculum impartedly adapted to his special needs and limited capacities; etc? To these links he—or at any rate a considerable part of his posterity—yet clings with a fearsome, fatuous hope that in some way they may serve his supposed "special" needs; may possibly be "useful" when he attempts to stand erect and make his way forward. Jarves thinks the "Freedman" looks heavenward with thankfulness, and Caffin thinks that he is looking very quietly at the broken fetters; but most of us, like the writer quoted by Tuckerman, may be able, in the light of the present, to see in his look determination mixed with anxiety and foreboding. But whatever his attitude may mean and his expression may be intended to indicate, we may apply to him, objectively, the words of Wilberforce: "You have set him free but you still compel him to wear the prison garb." Lorado Taft, in his comprehensive book, "History of American Sculpture" (published in 1903), though erroneously giving the date of the appearance of this statuette as 1865, (instead of 1863) makes some sympathetic and thoughtful statements concerning it, one of which is: "This statuette is as notable for its containment as for its more technical excellences." Mr. Taft also quotes from Sturgis, who he says, "has pointed out that it is 'curiously characteristic of the man [Ward] and his whole future way of work; for while expressing the idea of the slave who has broken his fetters, it represents simply a Negro in an entirely natural and every-day pose—a man who has put forth his strength and is looking very quietly at the results." Mr. Taft also goes on to say (page 221): "Mr. Sturgis calls attention, also, to the fact that the sculptor has interested himself in a truly modern fashion in the physical peculiarities of his subject. The racial characteristics are certainly emphasized as they had not been previously in American sculpture. But while we of the present, please ourselves in analysing the little figure, calmly dissecting its anatomy, it had quite a different appeal in the days of stress and struggle which gave it birth. We read Mr. Jarves' contemporary comments, and PAGE SEVEN DO NOT USE THE WORD "NIGGER" wonder if we have grown callous: are we missing all that is best in these things? . . . Little can we of a younger generation appreciate the emotion which was wrought into this souvenir of the great Rebellion." We of this day who perfunctorily think of and speak of the slaves as "set free by Mr. Lincoln," may be inclined to stumble at the sculptor's idea that the black man "must forth his strength" and broke, or even assisted to break, his fetters. But the "Freedman" was conceived and modeled in a time of "stress and struggle," while burial parties were gathering the dead black soldiers from a half-dozen bloody battle grounds, including Port Hudson and Fort Wagner, and two-hundred thousand more black men were rallying beneath the Flag whose triumph they hoped and believed would ensure their freedom. Mr. Ward and many others then living had been witnesses of, and participants in, the agitations and struggles, the sacrifices and martydoms, which had culminated in the war then raging and which had prepared the way for the Emancipation Proclamation. These men well knew that in the struggles and even in the martyrdoms, black men had borne conspicuous and noble parts To John Quincy Adams Ward and the large-hearted and appreciative men of that day, it would have seemed dissembling and mockery to have spoken of merely "bestowing" freedom on the quarter-million blacks who, at that very time, were valiantly doing their share, willingly even eagerly, that "a government of the people, for the people, and by the people should not perish from the earth." It was not until a later time, as we shall see, that men, including sculptors, could read into Mr. Lincoln's Proclamation, or substitute in it, such words as 'charity' and 'benevolence' where Mr. Lincoln had said: "an act of justice, and upon military necessity." It is not surprising that Mr. Ward was obliged to make a few replicas of his modest but eloquent little "Freedman." But soon the demand became so great that a company of metal founders began turning out the statuettes in bronze by the dozens; though at a cost of several hundred dollars each. It is almost unbelievable that so simple and unconventional a figure—which portrayed, did not caricature the Negro—should have made such a powerful appeal to the parents of the present generation.

So they've sought a new sensation for this modern jazzing craze In the ruthless syncopation of those sweet old plaintive lays That the souls of their forefathers, 'neath affliction's heavy rod. Coined from bitterness of sorrow as they reached for touch with God; When they stole "away to Jesus" at the end of life's hard day And in loneliness of spirit "couldn't hear nobody pray"; Or, with faith at last triumphant, sang of "freedom" that would come, Of "Sweet Chariot," low swinging, sent to bear their spirits home; Or of God who could deliver as in times of sacred lore; Of the chill of death's "deep river," crossed to Canaan's blissful shore! O ye thinking heritors of this rare and sacred trust— Of a race's soul's outpouring—jazz in pleasure if you must; But give rein to modern fancy for the rhythmic thrills you crave. Leave. O leave untouched, unsullied, those dear songs your fathers gave!

C(NOTE—In this poem, written for the Tribune, the author volves her hostility to the effrontery of the proposal (of the Jef- ferson Davis Chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy) to erect here im the Capital of the Nation a monument purporting to honor(?) the “black mammies” of the South. Mrs. Clifford is the author of “The Widening Light,” a recently published book of poems. —Ed.} Oh, built it of iron or build of it glass, Build it of marble or build it of brass, Build it as high as the Tower of Babel, Or build it e’en higher, if so you are able! But nothing you do and nothing you say, Can add to her glory or take it away: From palace to hovel all men know her worth, Her praises resound to the ends of the earth; She reared her own monument in her humble way ; The inscription’s the record she made day by day; And those who read hers, may also read yours, For one will remain while the other endures. You flogged her, debauched her—you bought her and sold, Esteeming her value for less than the gold You greedily grasped! You tore out her heart, By selling her sons in the cruel slave-mart— Her children and yours! And now you profess A love for Black Mammy, above all we can guess! Her meek, homely virtues you laud to the skies, Which one must confess, takes one by surprise, When it is known how her grand-children fare, It left unprotected—exposed to your “care.” Your babies she nurtured and loved as her own; By every action and thought it was shown. But your love for her, you now demonstrate By horrible, vile exhibitions of hate Toward Mammy’s descendents, who still wish to b¢ Helpful and true, but aspiring and free! And if you shall build a memorial of glass *Twill but mirror the crystalline heart of the lass: If of iron or brass, it the story will tell Of a faith that withstood the assaults of your hell! Tf you choose marble—jet black or pure white— No difference ’twill make, either choice will be right. Tf black, your misdeeds to the world you'll unroll; Tf white, ’twill reflect the pure light of her soul. And never forget while our country endures, That she is “my Mammy,” before she is yours! WHAT IS THE REAL MENACE IN GARVEY’S PROGRAM? The current issue of the CENTURY magazine carries a ten- page write-up—or write down—of Marcus Garvey by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois under the curious title, “Back to Africa.” oat It is pleasant to note, that the doctor has not hashed up a lot of “charges” that are merely silly or childish, after the style and manner of the petition or appeal or ‘alarum or whatever it was that the self-appointed committee or cabal addressed to the Attorney General. He does, however, enumerate and explain the whys of the various failures of Garvey and purports to give some details of the terms and supposed motives of the alleged alliance of Garvey and the Ku Klux Klan, The doctor’s cocksure explanations of Garvey’s ultimate pur- poses and motives, are far from convincing. For example he says: “Garvey’s motives were clear. The triumph of the Klan would drive Negroes to his program in despair, while the Klan’s sympathy would enable him to enter the South... . The Klan’s object was to encourage anything that would induce Negroes to believe that their fight for freedom in America was in vain.” Now such a charge and such a reason must be regarded as the limit in reckless reasoning (?) or as positively vicious. As well might Garvey charge that DuBois and the N. A. A. C. P. exploit and feature lynchings in order to show to white folks how Weasy,* as Mr. Dooley said, it is to lynch Negroes. Is the N. A. A.C. P., also, merely trying to induce us {o flee to Africa or to the arctic regions or the other hell? One may not find it hard to agree with the doctor in character- izing Garvey as a person who “with monkey shines was deluding the people,” but in these respects Garvey is far from being unique or even original. What “successful” institution or organization is there that does not owe its prosperity mainly to delusion of the people? If deluding people—along mayhap with one’s self—is criminal, then most or all our “leaders” are liable to indictment. But the really important question which arises as to Garvey is: why all this clamor and uproar about him? If it were really a fact that the main item in his “program” was “Back to Africa,” why should that draw such an awful attack with artillery heavy and light, with illuminating shells, tanks and poison gas? If Garvey’s menace were merely in his monkey shines and the gulling of black folk, would the CENTURY magazine open its columns to an exposure of him by Dr. DuBois or any other “negro” (with the small “n,” as the word appears all through the doctor’s article) ? PAGE EIGHT BLACK MAMMY poem, written for the ® the effrontery of the t of the Daughters 0 pital of the Nation a ick mammies” of the Widening Light,” a r BLACK MAMMY Bs, Cameto W Chinn What is the meia¢ing feature or features of the Garvey “pro- gram” anyhow? ‘And’ who are menaced—black folk, whom these doughty warriors Purport to be defending, or what race or class is it? Why is it necessary for Dr, DuBois to labor through ten pages of a magizine that has never displayed any conspicuous re- gard for “negroes,” 'to show that our race as a whole do not take Garvey seriously? “ Why does Dr. DuBois—and why do the CENTURY and manyof our white monitors, and even enemies (so it seems) —take Garvey and his “program” so seriously? There must be a reason—a big, compelling reason. What is it? Per- haps some of those who have been stoning Garvey, or one of those who have been caring for the garments of the stoners, will answer. : i = . oye Mary E.
