Advancement Organization Overlooks Race's Economic Life The thirteenth annual report of the National Association for the Advancement of (certain) Colored People for the year of 1922 has reached our desk and proves an interesting document for the close observer. In view of the forthcoming annual conference of this organization a few notes concerning the report is in order. While a number of activities are mentioned, the Dyer Bill was the outstanding feature for the year. That having failed, the association has used and will use it for all it is worth for a revenue getter this year. However, the most illuminating part of the report has to do with the financial statement of the association and the "Crisis." Nowhere in the report do we find the number of members the association has, but, a comparative report of 1921 and 1922 shows a decline. The amount received in 1921 from memberships was $40,562.45 while last year the report shows, total amount from memberships, including Branch contributions, $32,418.90. The branches contributed $8,438.76 in 1921. If they contributed a like amount in 1922 then the net amount for memberships should be around $24,000, which is $16,000 less than was received in 1921, or a loss of more than 30,000 members at fifty cents each, the amount sent to the headquarters by the branches. However, the report fails to show how many regular members, donating members, sustaining members and life members it has. Some members pay one dollar, others pay five dollars and some pay ten dollars, while others pay fifty dollars and one hundred dollars—therefore, we are yet at a loss to know just how many members the association has. It cannot be told from the total amount given as "memberships." For the association we find the printing bill amounted to $3,866.25 and for the "Crisis," $16,519,79, or a total—for printing—of $20,864.0. We notice on both of the reports and other matter of the association and "Crisis" the printers' union label number 171, and number 25. It is a known fact that there are no Negro local unions among the printing fraternity, therefore, the conclusion is that this expenditure of more than $20,000 by this association with the name of "Advancement for Colored People," spends this enormous amount for printing with the other fellow. This $20,000 would be quite a factor in the economic "Advancement of Colored People." How can this association clamor for the "advancement of colored people" when they deliberately take more than $20,000 from these same colored people and turn it/over to enterprises where Negroes are not employed? They certainly cannot give an alibi that there is no colored shop that could handle their work. "The Journal of the National Medical Association" is a far more pretentious magazine than the "Crisis" and it is printed in a print shop, built, owned and operated by Negroes. In view of the first editorial in the August "Crisis" concerning the moving of the offices of the association to 69 Fifth Avenue, which says: "We could have found cheaper and more unobstructive quarters, but it seems to us that too long the Black Folk of the world have hidden in the back alleys of the earth," we find that the The Washington Tribune Sends RACE REPRESENTED A The state funeral procession which was held here August 8 navy escort, was made up of tion in the District.

REBEL SOLDIER CALLED PATRIOT BY LINK JOHNSON National Committeeman "From" Georgia Fighting For Recognition Braying like a jackass, Henry Lincoln Johnson, self appointed political leader and non-functioning National Committeeman from Georgia, is again making a desperate fight to gain recognition as the political cards are being shuffled for a new deal in 1924. In order to get a hand in the pot, the cunning Henry Lincoln Johnson is ready and willing to swallow anything, if by doing so, the powers-that-be will only recognize him as a leader, and again permit him to eat out of the slush fund trough. So desperate is Johnson to gain recognition, that he came out a few days ago in a long article, lauding the Confederate soldier, James Long-street, and making a plea that Long-street's widow be placed on the Georgia state committee as the woman representative. In speaking of General Longstreet, who fought in the Seven Day's Battle; in the second Battle of Bull Run; at Fredericksburg; at Gettysburg; at Chickamauga, and in the Battle of the Wildness; "Link" lauds him as a great soldier and patriot. And, too, "Link" Johnson makes the above statement with no apologies Neither does "Link" offer apologies for nominating other white women in Georgia for responsible Federal jobs. In his new role, Johnson is playing politics of the worst sort, and it is certain to redound to his disadvantage rather than to his advantage. Just how any sane Negro could call a Confederate General a patriot is beyond comprehension. It may be true that time heals all wounds, but we fail to see where time has healed the wound created by 250 years of slavery which General Longstreet and his compatriots are responsible for, especially when the descendants of Longstreet, think no more of Henry Lincoln Johnson and his children than they do of an ordinary backyard dog. Today, the very woman "Link" is insisting on being placed on his (?) committee, denies him common courtesies. How many times has she ever called you "Mr. Johnson," "Link"? Does she call your wife "Mrs. Henry Lincoln Johnson" or "Georgia?" Then how in the name of common decency can you come out and support her for any kind of office, let alone call her husband "a great patriot." Henry Lincoln Johnson, can you stoop so low as to call Longstreet a patriot—a man who bought and sold your mother and father like they were cattle? A man who fought to prevent you from enjoying such privileges as you enjoy today? A man who opposed anything that in any shape or form would cause you and your race to be treated like human beings?

PRUDENTIAL BANK PASSES $100,000 MARK Number of Depositors Increasing Rapidly; Home Savings a Feature Business at the Prudential Bank continues to hum. After a little over two weeks' operation the business at that bank has gone over the one hundred thousand dollar mark. Every day a steady stream of new faces is seen in the bank, opening accounts, subscribing to the few remaining shares of stock and transacting much other business. The bank is under government supervision and is equipped with the most modern conveniences for the efficient handling of all business entrusted to its care. The Savings Department has been unusually busy. After the first week the supply of home safes which the bank is lending to all savings depositors had been exhausted. These small safes hold pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, halves and dollars, and will hold about twenty dollars in mixed change. They are loaned to all depositors upon an initial deposit of $1. The officials say the new shipment of these banks will be in by Tuesday and depositors who have not received them, and all other persons desiring these banks can get them then. The bank is planning an extensive drive to put a Prudential bank book in every home. COMMUNITY PROGRESSIVE CLUB A group of young people met on the night of August 8th, for the purpose of discussing pro and con the possibilities of an organization.

Although working under the auspices of the Trinity A. M. E. Church, it is not confined to one section of the city. A definite program will be outlined Sunday afternoon, August 12th, at 6 p.m. The meeting will be at the church on Morton Street. The officers are: Mr. Harvey J. Bullock, president; Miss Ethel Milligan, vice president; Miss Texanna Urbie, secretary; Mrs. Daisy Tucker, adviser. DR.

DOCTORS TO INSIST ON COMPLETE NEGRO PERSONNEL AT HOSPITAL According to an Associated Press dispatch from Tuskegee, Alabama, of August 7th, the committee of whites that called on Director Hines last week, has sent Mr. Hines a telegram informing him of their acceptance of his plans for manning the Veterans' Hospital located at Tuskegee. According to the press dispatch, the plans accepted by the committee calls for the appointment of one white surgeon-in-chief and two white assistants. This places the hospital completely in charge of the whites. As this is the same committee to which Major Moton is alleged to have telegraphed, this then, must be the program Major Moton is supporting. However, when this report was shown to Dr. M. O. Dumas, who is chairman of the National Medical Association Committee, which committee, at the request of the Veterans' Bureau has been submitting the names of colored doctors for places there. Dr. Dumas stated emphatically that this report was not in accordance with the promises made this committee by Director Hines. Dr. Dumas stated that he was not sure that the dispatch was correct, but added, that if it was, his committee, would proceed a once to call off all the doctors they have recommended. In short, the committee will insist on a complete colored personnel. Director Hines is expected to make a statement early next week that will probably clear up the situation. M. M. Harris Co. Plan to Build New Homes $100,000 TO BE SPENT ON HOME IMPROVEMENTS The real estate firm of Mortimer M. Harris, 615 F Street, Northwest, made the announcement this week, of the erection of sixteen new homes for colored people on the corner of 2nd and W Streets, Northwest. These homes are to be modern in every detail, with large airy rooms. With three of them sold already to substantial citizens, the development on that corner will mark one of the most important improvements made this year by the colored people of the District toward better homes. The cost of the land and the proposed houses will mean an outlay of more than $100,000 on that corner. With the coming of the past war, building activity in the District was concentrated on war developments and the erection of homes suffered. In Office: 920 U St., N. W. HYDE YAS SAH!

While hundreds of people have been let out of the various departments, very few of those people have left the city; therefore, the congestion has continued. The Negroes of the city have felt this congestion more keenly than the whites, for large apartments have been erected for them along with hundreds of homes. Only last year did they begin erecting small "chicken-coop" homes for colored people and selling them at an enormous price. Houses that would cost around $4,000 have been sold for $7,200 and $7,500. The erection of the proposed sixteen homes by the Harris firm marks a forward movement here for better homes among colored people. HOWARD MEDICINE SCHOOL REJECTS MANY APPLICANTS. Of 165 applicants for admission in to the Medical School of Howard University only fifty could be admitted at the coming term, officials of the institution announced today. Because of insufficient preparation sixty-five were rejected. The university declined to accept eighty colored students desiring to perfect themselves in medicine because of lack of room to accommodate them. Limitations of laboratory space and of teaching force made it necessary to restrict the classes to the fifty accepted. The Best Sport Page in the East. N. W. Price 5 Cents egram Major Seems to Be for White and Colored at Same Time Message Seems to be Willing to Compromise Race's Position Major R. R. Moton, who, while not mis-leading his people, works as principal of Tuskegee Institute, at last seems to have failed to cover up his tracks A copy of a recent telegram alleged to have been sent by Major Moton to a white member of the Tuskegee Committee, came into the hands of this paper last week. While the telegram is very adroitly worded, it apparently is very clear that the Major has something up his sleeve he has not disclosed to his own-pepole yet. The telegram alleged to have been sent by Major Moton, was addressed to Mr. C. W. Hare, Tuskegee, Ala. A copy of the alleged telegram follows: C. W. Hare, Tuskegee, Ala. Alvise that committee from the town come at once and with all secrecy to see Gen. Hines, with whom I have just concluded confidential interview. Further advise that committee get in touch with Sen. Underwood who can be of valuable assistance. Illness prevents my coming to Tuskegee at once. (Signed) R. R. M. Just what the real meaning of the above telegram is, is not known; Major Moton has stoutly refused to state whether he favored a white or colored personnel. No amount of coaxing so far has been sufficient to get the Major to make any kind of a statement. The above telegram is the first and only piece of evidence that in any way, has any bearing on the Major's views. When in Washington Major Moton in talking to his own people, avows he is for a Negro personnel. However, the whites at Tuskegee have repeatedly claimed that the Tuskegee officials, were wholly for a white personnel. Now that this telegram has come to light it seems as if the whites are correct. It appears as if Major Moton, when talking to Negroes, tells them he is for a Negro personnel, so his actions will not be criticised by, them, while on the other hand, when talking to the whites, he is in favor of a white personnel, so the whites will permit him to continue as their right hand man. In other words, the Major is playing both ends against the middle. The telegram was sent on Thursday, July 26th, which is the day Major Moton motored from Cappahosic, Va. While here, two Tribune reporters sought to interview Major Moton, but he refused to even shake hands with them. The "confidential interview" was held with Director Hines that afternoon. If the Major was sick, it certainly was not apparent to The Tribune reporters. He motored here in his high powered Cadillac from Cappahosic, which is about 175 miles from Washington; he returned there that afternoon, which necessitated his riding in a car 350 miles in one day. Two days after this telegram was sent to Tuskegee it was announced through the Associated Press, that the Committee of white Ku Klux at Tuskegee had requested another meeting with General Hines. The committee arrived here last Friday, composed of Dr. L. W. Johnson, who is said to be the direct cause of the exit of Dr Kenney from Tuskegee; State Senator R. H. Powell, alleged head of the Ku Klux Klan in Tuskegee and W. W.

MOTON SENDS MYSTERIOUS TELECRAM MOTON SENDS MYSTERIOUS TELECRAM (Continued from page 1) chased the first land for the erection of the Institute. Why should Major Moton suggest that this committee come to Washington "with all secrecy to see General Hines," after Moton's "confidential interview" with General Hines? Why should Senator Underwod be brought into this situation except to carry out the white program rather than the colored program? What kind of underhanded double-faced work is Moton engaged in? If the telegram does not mean that Major Moton is working with the whites for a white personnel, then it is up to him to come out now and say he is for a colored one. The telegram demands an explanation, and it is up to the Major to make it now. JOHN GAINEY John D. Gainey of Chicago, Illinois, recently promoted to be assistant chief clerk at large in the Railway Mail Service, with headquarters in Washington, has met with such gratifying success in bringing about a better understanding between the clerks of our group in that service and the Department that his services have been requisitioned by the Servie Relations Board to make surveys of post-offices throughout the country when complaints are received by them that affect Negro employees. Col. Paul Henderson, Second Assistant Post Master General has given his consent for Mr. Gainey to make these surveys. Mr. Gainey returned to the city Sunday after having made a visit to Norfolk, Virginia, where he made a general survey of conditions in the post office of that city. He left the employees there with kindlier feelings for the service and the avowed understanding that the Department was very solicitous for their welfare.

The Tribune Sport Review SPORT CHATTER MANY COLLEGES CHANGE FOOTBALL COACHES Five colleges—Howard, Lincoln, Wilberforce, Virginia Normal and Shaw—will begin the football season next month under new coaching systems. Lincoln and Howard are recalling their own sons to shape the destiny of their elevens, U. S. Young and Louis L. Watson, respectively. Dean Mohr and Harry Graves will drill the Va. Normal warriors while Wilberforce must fill the gap left vacant by Mohr, and Shaw must name a-successor to Hucles. The numerous changes in the personnel of gridiron tutors are in most instances the result of a resignation prompted by the growing desire of all institutions to improve their football status. Gradually it is dawning upon college authorities that football not alone makes men physically stronger but mentally and morally, as well, and has a far-reaching influence upon the student body and in addition is the college's best advertiser. Football lovers are anxiously awaiting the approach of the training season. To hear the thump of the oval, to know how many letter men returned, how the subs are shaping up, what the squad numbers, are a few of the things that appeal to all classes. Every outlook points to the greatest football year on record if for no other reason than that the popularity of all sports is on the up grade. Intersectional clashes here and a trip to Philadelphia will hold our interest this fall. Even though two of Howard's major games, Lincoln and Hampton, are on foreign fields we are perfectly safe in predicting a smashed attendance record here and a banner season around the entire college circuit.

Taylor came in to complete arrangement for a series here starting August 26, and also to start certain plans for next year. The writer succeeded in cornering the Potomacs' chieftain for a few minutes with the hopes of getting an inkling of his future plans. Nothing definite in regard to next season has been mapped out although it is quite unlikely that the American League will be the Potomacs' home grounds in 1924. The "take all" policy of the park authorities, as pointed out in these columns some time ago is responsible for the long inactive stretch here and the proposed change for next year. Manager Taylor talked freely about his team and what he hoped to do for the season of 1924. "Many new names will be found in the Potomac line-up next year," said Manager Taylor, "Of course, I have had a good ball club this year which is going better now than ever, but from the beginning of the season I have had the same trouble that has confronted all managers with star players. Players with reputations are in most cases hard to keep in training. I have had such men on my team this year and many games have been lost because of certain ones not being in condition. I have succeeded in getting rid of all undesirables thru trades and releases and the only other changes I am likely to make will come at the end of the season" POTOMACS BLANK MT. HOLLY Mt. Holly, N.J., Aug. 4—The Washington Potomacs handed the Mt. Holly nine a 3 to 0 defeat here today. Sweetland, the Mt. Holly maskman, was the star of the game, defensively and with the bat, having two hits. Jefferson led the colored nine with three hits.

Aug. 4—Even an All-Star team which was composed of the best players of the white clubs in the Philadelphia Base Ball Association could not stop the heavy sluggers of the Hilldale Club here today in a special game. The big bats of the Hilldale tribe batting out an easy 9 to 1 victory. "Cy" Mellinger who started for the All-Stars, was thumped so hard that he was yanked in the third inning. One of the Hildale sluggers had kknocked the ball over the fence for a home run drive. Carr doing it in the first with Santop on the bases. Briggs duplicating the smash in the second with J. Johnson on the bags and Clint Thomas driving Mellinger from the mound with his clout over center field fence with Carr on first in the third. Hookenberry who relieved him was also hit hard. Nip Winters who twirled for Ed Bolden's team hit one over the fence in the sixth inning. On the other hand. Nip Winters, allowed but three hits striking out seven men in the six innings played, this being his sixteenth straight win. The All-Stars escaped a shut out when Dean crashed one over the fence in the 5th.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 1923 Eastern League Results STANDING* Hilldale .....23 Cuban Stars .....18 Bacharach Giants .....15 Brooklyn Royal Gts. .....6 Baltimore Black Sox 12 Lincoln Giants .....10 *Arnold* in Arrow EASTERN COLORED LEAGUE TIGHTENS Although some hasty persons have already conceded the first pennant of the Eastern Colored League to Ed. Bolden's Quaker City crew who to date has swept all before them and are staying out in front with the consistency of a door bell, they must recall the fact that but a trifle over the half way mark has been reached and ten strenuous weeks of campaigning are yet before the bronze athletes are the curtain rings down along the autumn trail. On the field as well as on paper the well balanced outfit that has been gathered together by the Philadelphia pilot appears to be the class of the League, but the uncertainty of things that may occur is what keeps the fans keyed up. Hildale has bested all of the league clubs in games played to date, with the exception of the Cuban Stars who have taken four falls out of the Philadelphia team and suffered three reverses. The other clubs measure up to Hildale in the following manner; Hildale has won eight out of nine from the Lincoln Giants, five out of seven from the Baltimore Black Sox, four out of seven from the Bacharach Giants and three out of five from the Brooklyn Giants. Cuban Stars Run Five Straight Victories Well within striking distance of the league leaders, Alex Pompez's Cuban Stars are giving Hilldale a tough battle and may carry it right down to the finale when the two clubs meet in their last series in September. The Cubans have the edge on the Baltimore Black Sox, Bacharach Giants and Hilldale, while they stand even Steven with the Royals and Lincoln, they have bagged seven out of nine from the Baltimore Sox, four out of seven from Hilldale and the same from the Bacharach Giants, broke even in two games with the Royals and four with the Lincoln. On July 19th the Cubans started a spurt at the expense of the Hilldale Club and ran their string to five straight games before being stopped by the Lincoln Giants, when they divided a double header with the inmates of Protectory Oval. Lincoln Giants Playing Better Ball Hopelessly out of the race for first honors, the tail end Lincoln Giants have shown a reversal of form and are now playing the brand of ball that is expected of them, they have been bowling along at a clip well over the fifty per cent mark, since they have come out of the rut the early part of July. Several of the top clubs will have to reckon with Jim Keenans's huskies and the results will undoubtedly figure strongly in the pennant chase. After an extended lay off from the league dates Nat. Strong's Royal Giants made another swing around the circuit and bettered their standing in the league column by climbing over the fast slipping Baltimore Sox. The Royals with practically the same club intact are a little better off than early in the season because of the fact that a couple of their cripples have mended. The pitching staff, however, is not producing the assortment of benders that are necessary to turn back the opposition, a very important detail in the national pastime. MOHR AND GRAVES TO COACH VA. NORMAL According to the Gazette, a publication of the Va. Normal and Industrial Institute, Dean Mohr has been named head football coach at that institution for the coming season: Mohr served in the same capacity at Wilberforce last season and previous to that time was physical director of the Evanston, (Ill.) Y. M. C. A. He formerly attended the University of Wisconsin, Marquette University and received a degree from Ohio State. Virginia Normal has also secured the services of Harry Graves to assist Dean Mohr. Graves was a former backfield star of the Michigan Agriculture College—the same college that head coach Smith of Hampton hails from. 3 Big Excursions. Are you going? Everybody is going.

Briscoe and Lacey pitched good ball but the latter's wildness coupled with rotten fielding caused his downfall. Botts's drive to deep center was one of the longest ever made on the Lot.

ALL-STARS TO MEET FREDERICKSBURG FROGS Alexandria Team Has Twenty Two Victories Alexandria, Va., Aug. 10—The Virginia All-Stars under the management of William H. Rose has to date a rating of .863. They have played twenty-two games, losing three of them, one each to the Potomac Giants, Deanwood, and Falls Church. The local boys have played Deanwood and Falls Church two games, splitting the bills with each. Falls Church is the only team that can claim mastery over them. The All-Stars went to Fredericksburg recently and brought back a 10 to 8 victory.On Monday the Frederickburgers will visit Alexandria and try to even things up when they meet the Stars in the Dreadnaught's Park on upper King Street The line up for the All-Stars and the probable line up of the Frogs follows: Watts ..... s. s.....

Beckham had been in fast company prior to joining the team, having played against the strongest white and colored teams in the West while he was a member of the Twenty-fourth Infantry. Game starts at 4:30 sharp. This is the All-Star's first admission game at home. Some of the strong teams who have lost to the All-Stars are Deanwood, Capital City Cubs, Mac Sennetts, Arlington Athletibs, Bladensburg, Gladiators, Stonewall Tigers, Lafayetts, Lafayetts Juniors, and the Bureau of Engraving. Captain Rose is at a loss why many of his challenges are not considered by some of the stronger teams of Washington. For games address: Alexandria All-Stars, 427 Gibbon St., Alexandria, Va.

This new addition to the musical world was written by Miller and Lyle and will be staged at Howard Monday night August 20. The music is by James Johnson with lyrics by Cecil Mack. Washington Theatre goers are acquainted with Miller and Lyle of the famous "Shuffle Along" company. It will be remembered by theatre goers here that the famous "Shuffle Along" started its career at the Howard. Miller and Lyle are ready to give the Washington public another chance to see a real Broadway show first. The production is being furnished by George White. Already $200,000 have been spent on the show. Mr. White has already engaged his Broadway Theatre for this production. Washington will be the only city that will have the opportunity to see this new production before it goes on Broadway. Manager Levy of the Howard, stated that without a doubt, the people of Washington have the greatest surprise of their lives coming. he big cast is headed by Miller and Lyle, who are assisted by George Stephens, Ravella Hughes, Arthur Porter, Mattie Wilkes, Wesley Hill, George Harvey, Paul Floyd, Ina Duncan, Wesley Jeffrey, Elizabeth Welsh, George H.

Saltez, Marie Devoe, Frank THEATRE NOTES ALTAR OF AMBITION A woman sacrificed upon the altar of man's selfish ambitions. This is the central theme of "Slander the Woman," Allen Holubar's new First National super-production with Dorothy Phillips in the stellar role, which will be shown at the Lincoln Theatre for four days beginning August 12th. In this latest screen triumph, Director Holubar has shown that wealth and social position are nothing compared to the fair name of a woman. In the poignant, soul stirring manner characteristic of all his work, Director Holubar shows how circumstances are twisted by an ambitious judge to secure his own rise in the world and how in so doing he robs a woman of her most sacred heritage—a fair name. There is no false sentimentality about "Slander the Woman." It is a drama of the present day, based upon actual life. The story of the play is laid in Canada. A woman, Yvonne Desmarest, portrayed by Dorothy Phillips, becomes involved in a murder through no fault of her own. At the trial Judge Duroacher presides. He is a candidate at the forthcoming ONLY SALARIES PAID BACK TO RACE BY N. A. A. C. P. (Continued from page 1) association and the "Crisis" paid out for rent the amount of $4,249.96—now they have moved into more expensive quarters. That is just where the Association lacks racial consciousness. The men who run the Association are evidently so anxious to associate with white folks and get away from colored people that they will not maintain the office of "The Association for the Advancement of Colored People" in the vicinity of other Negro businesses or professional enterprises. They must have white folks to be the leading officers of this autocratic association. Would it not be better for the "Association for the Advancement of Colored People" to try and rent its offices from a Negro landlord among other Negro organizations and enterprises? Would not that $4,249.96 go a long way in the "advancement" of Negro wealth and prestige? would it not encourage ownership of property by Negroes so that "their" (?) association could rent from a Negro landlord? What kind of "Advancement" for the Negro can Messrs. DuBois and Johnson figure will be derived by the Negro from an expenditure of $25,000 a year of their money, to white people when it could more logically be spent in a tangible way for the advancement of a Negro printer and a Negro landlord? That is truly some "ADVANCEMENT" for DuBois and Johnson to collect $25,000 from Negroes as membership money into an "Advancement Association" and for them to turn around and spend that $25,000 for rent and printing with the white man. Who is "Advanced" in that operation? DuBois and Johnson? Certainly not the Negro race. The 14th annual meeting of the parliamentary election and he sees in the trial an opportunity to win popularity through branding Mile. Desmarest as "the other woman." The widow of the man killed is acquitted of the crime, and Yvonne is socially ostracized. With stirring effect the story tells how Yvonne makes a winning fight. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 1923 Association is soon to be held in Kansas City, Missouri. From our observation the N. A. A. C. P. is not a democratic association, but an autocratic association. It is not a representative body, but a self appointed and self-perpetuating autocratic body. The local branches do not send delegates to represent them nor can they have any voice in the management of the association. The Board of Directors is a self-perpetuating one and not subject to the election or recall of the membership. Therefore, the N. A. A. C. P. is not an organization of the Negro, for the Negro and by the Negro. It is however, an organization for the "Advancement of Certain People." REBEL SOLDIER CALLED PATRIOT BY LINK. JOHNSON history that you are, and as well conversant with the aims of Longstreet, then how in the name of all that's holy, can you, a supposed leader of your people, ask them to support you and such a program as you propose? If you are playing to the galleries, you had better look out. If you think the Negroes have forgotten how spineless you have been during the Harding administration, when the Negroes' rights were being grossly violated at every turn, you are barking up the wrong tree. What the Negroes in Georgia want is relief from the economic bondage that holds them hopeless in a deathlike grip your insisting on white women and men being appointed to political positions does not alter these unfortunate peoples' circumstances. If anything it aggrigates them. As between what you call a regular Republican Committee and the non-regulars, headed by Phillips, the Negroes of Georgia have little choice. They expected nothing from Phillips, but from you they certainly did not expect to see you capitulate so readily to those whites who are avowed enemies. Are you trying to become "a good nigger" in the eyes of the whites so you can return to Georgia and call your committee together and have them make some kind of endorsement of your policies, so that you can bring it back to Washington and show it to John R. Adams and other party leaders? Where are the Negroes you have nominated for offices? If you have so much power, why were you not confirmed by the Senate for Recorder of Deeds? Then if you admit that the Democrats defeated you, why, then, are you now fighting for people who make up the Democratic party? Henry Lincoln Johnson, you know good and well that you are misrepresenting the facts to your people when you say, "from the day of my election and installation (as National Committee) I have been given every courtesy and respect of the members of the committee, and have functioned as a committeeman." Please explain to a waiting public, just how and when have you functioned in this office; when and how were you recognized by the Harding administration. Surely you do not consider all the humiliation you have been made to suffer by the G. O. P., a recognition of your office? If what you say about functioning is true, then why are you just telling it to the public? Perhaps you may say, that the people outside of Georgia have no right to ask you for an account of your stewardship. That would possibly be true if you lived in Georgia, but seeing that you seem to be from Georgia and from every indication it seems as though you intend to stay from Georgia), we think the people among whom you make your abode, and claim to represent also certainly have a right to ask you for some kind of an accounting. "Link" Johnson, you are floating on a sea of political inertia. You have your sails up but they are not holding the wind. As a good seaman, why don't you investigate and find out why? You have been on this sea for a number of years, now, and you haven't left port yet. Is there something wrong with the wind or is there something wrong with your sails? Inasmuch as the wind of opportunity is forever blowing, then there surely must be something wrong with your sails. down your present sails of chicanery and pussyfooting and run up the sail of honest dealing with your people; let this be your mainsail. On your foresail staff, take down the sail of deceit and run up the sail of truth; take down your fore staystail of inertia and put up the sail of action. The Negroes are not nearly as much concerned about who is to be postmaster at Jessup Cut as they are about getting the benefit of some of the taxes they pay. What have you done as National Committeeman to get an overwhelming Republican Congress to consider and pass legislation restoring the ballot to Negroes in the South? The race would far more appreciate your efforts in this direction than they in your fight for a place on an inconsequential committee for Mrs. Long-street. As National Committeeman, what have you done to get a Republican controlled Inter-State Commerce Commission to do away with the Jim crow cars? Your. Republican Department of Justice found Marcus Garvey guilty, but what about the murderers of the fifteen Negroes lynched during the six months just passed? Are these lynchers not more dangerous to the country than Garvey? "Link," you have deceived your own people long enough. Put aside the drug of self-aggrandizement and wage a fight with a clear brain for your people or else retire from the spotlight of public activities. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Tuskegee Situation To the Editor: The Tuskegee Colored Veterans Hospital muddle illustrates the real attitude of a great part of the South towards Colored people. So called race prejudice is most times simply the cloak that covers multitudinous economic sins. Politicians and government grafters are insisting upon white administration, white physicians, white nurses and undertakers to care for, cut up, nurse and bury bodies of colored men whose injured and maimed conditions are due to engaging in the world wide conflict for the mainten- In a part of the country where the whiter portions of the population are separated from the more colored people does it not seem inconsistent to fight for the right to have white nurses so intimately associated with wounded colored men? The simple truth is that the money, graft and salaries shall filter through the hands of a white personnel. A mixture of colored and white workers would be intolerable hence the demand for manning the hospital by all white people. The director of veterans' welfare has been provided with enough applications of qualified colored workers to man the hospital from top to bottom. That they can do it is evidenced by the fact that Freedmen's Hospital in Washington is the only one that was given a Class A rating recently among those examined by experts from the N. M. A. The agitators in Tuskegee have made a prejudice-blinded populace feel that it would be bad to have educated, independent, manly men of medical training, trained in large num training congregated in large numbers in the South. It might add to the unrest, to the ambitious desire on the part of some Negroes from the masses to train themselves for more meritorious service than mere labor by brawn. The K. K. K. or some white hooded organization have paraded in support of the contention for a white force in opposition to the determination of Director Hines and President Harding for a Colored personnel. Which will win? Will the soldiers who bore the blasting hell of shot, gas and flame be forced to submit to the merciful (?) ministrations of men and women whose interest will be economical solely, or will it be possible since they must be separated and herded into one camp in the Jim Crow South they they maybe ministered to by trained men and women of their own racial group? It is now considered a grievous error on the part of Major Moton that for Tuskegee he offered the site for the hospital knowing full well the attitude of the South to men of color. The tremendous migration of Negroes from the South which is bound to increase is evidence of the lack of desirability for the location of such a hospital, especially when many of the wounded men would rather have died in France than submit to the indignities of the southern cus- PAGE FIVE KATSON CHEAP.

No question has so developed the hypocrisy of race relationships as this one and fair minded men of all races must admit that "racial purity, white supremacy, social equality," are but slogans to further economic exploitation of a helpless group of American citizens.

Phone North 9848 Se ee : Contest in Musical Favarites Mrs. Lyons, president of the Na- tional Federation of Music Clubs of America; Kenneth F, Clark of the Bu- reau of Community Musie and C. M. Tremaine, director of the National Bureau for the Advancement of Music were the judges in the recent “Better ‘Homes Contest in Musical Favorites” which revealed .a peculiar musical tendency in America. The music crit- ies as well were mentally disturbed ‘and almost unbalanced in whateone, Helen Fetter a music critic, styled, “this peculiarly upside-down hodge- podge of musical favorites.” She goes on further to say: “It would seem impossible that, with all the phonograph and radio contrivances to ‘bring the best music to the general public ,results such as haye been no- ted should be obtained from any kind of an average audience. Surely Amer- ican taste in music is not so decadent ‘as this would indicate. The list is‘un- ‘alanced and erratic. One would ‘scarcely expect a list more so from an insane asylum.” Here is that’ list: “Home, Sweet Home,” received the largest number of votes, and second and third places ‘went to “The Star Spangled Banner” and “America.” The next three were “Humoresque,” “Ave Maria” and “Nearer, My God, To Thee.” The re- maining four of the first ten were “Love's Old Sweet Song,” “A Perfect Day,” Mendelssohn's “Spring Song” and “Silver Threads Among the Gold” Opera was negelcted, as usual, making eleventh place, with the “Sextette,” from “Lucia,” and not ap- pearing ~ again until __thirty-ninth place was reached, with the “Mise- rere,” from Verdi's “Il Trovatore.” Old familiar songs seemed to be the winners. Of modern tunes, “Three o'clock in the Morning” was the near- est to the first ten, it came forty- seventh on the list. Possibly, “Yes, We Have no Bananas,” might have been included in the running had the Shriners held their convention a cou- ple of months earlier. Sacred songs) seemed rather ne- glected, too. Only five hymns are in- cluded in the first fifty songs. Be- sides “Nearer, My God, To Thee,” they are “Lead Kindly Light,” “Abide With Me,” “Silent Night” and “Rock of Ages.” Beethoven's: “Minuet in G” won six- teenth place over “Traumerei.” Not until after the twenty-sixth place did such masterpieces as Schubert’s “Serenade,” “Meditation” from “Thais,” Drdla’s “Souvenir,” Mac- Dowell’s “To a Wild Rose,” Paderews- ki’s “Minuet” and similar composi- tions begin to appear on the list.

For Sale at All Newsstands, 5e per copy Advertising Rates Furnished on Request ee ee eee SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 1923 TSE NEGRO’S POLITICAL OUTLOOK With the death of President Harding, as titular head of the Re- publican party and the elevation of Vice President Coolidge to the Presidency, unforseen problems and conditions are projected into our national life. Beginning with the-death of the late Senator Knox, of Penn- sylvania, the “Old Guard” of the “Grand Old Party” has been passing rapidly. Senator Penrose’s death last year was the straw that broke the camel’s back and the Old Guard was forced into the background at the November election. last fall. The passing of the President, and the evident slipping of Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, produces a telling minority in a government where: they have held sway since the days of Mark Hanna. Along with the passing of the Old Guard among white Republi- cans, must of necessity go the Link Johnsons, the Perry Howards, the Roscoe Simmonses, the Phil Browns, the Andersons, the Mo- tons and other pussy-footing political stevedores, of the race. There is truly a new sentiment among the race in this country and that sentiment is based upon racial consciousness. This growing racial consciousness is demanding upstanding, clean-cut, unhampered and full-fledged leadership. After sixty years of un- paralleled devotion to the Republican party, the Negro is awaken- ing from his dream to find the stern reality of precious little dif- ference between the professed friendship of the Republican party. and the outspoken opposition of the Southern Democrats. The Demoerats had the nerve to tell you so and the Republicans had the gall to play the hypocrite, patting you on the back before election and kicking you down in the cellar after the election They have gotten away with it once too often. ‘The political outlook for the race points to men and measures ; not undying affiilation to any party. We must select our men and our measures and throw our whole political strength behind them. But, be ever on the outlook for the opportunity to put one of ous men over at every election possible. President Coolidge looks like a man of action and one on whem one can depend to do whatever he says he will do. We shall watch his actions and listen to his words. If he proves the man of destiny and in whom we find a friend of justice and human rights, we are for him, and will support him. However, not since Southern race prejudice began disfranchis- ing the Negro in the eighties has the race had the big opportunity that confronted it, politically, last November and that will be ours in 1924. It is an evident fact that political progress of the race must be made in the North. We cannot hope for very much from the South. As long as the 14th amendment is treated as a “scrap of paper” by the solid South, and consented to by the Republican’ party, there is no hope for the 10,000,000 Negroes of the South for political representation. Therefore, the Negro citizens of the North have a tremendous responsibility upon them to render a telling service for their unfortunate brothers in the South and de- liver them from political serfdom and “taxation without repre- sentation.” Last August The Tribune called the race’s attention to the possibilities confronting them in the Congressional election for November 1922. Could the race have realized the conditions that now exist and the close margin of the Republicans in the next Congress, they could have had at least four men in Congress this fall who would have been a_ big factor in the balance of power. The coming election in 1924 is going to be too close for comfort. The Republicans are up against it and the large migration of Negroes from the South has enhanced our political power in the North until we are a big factor in a num- ber of close states. In New York City, Congressman Ansorge from the 2ist dis trict should be left at home and a Negro elected from that dis. trict in 1924. In Missouri, L. C. Dyer, of the 12th district, with only 142,19 inhabitants, could not possibly come back if the Ne. groes had the foresight to nominate and concentrate upon one o: their own. The seat of Martin B. Madden, of the first distric of Illinois, with 167,220 inhabitants, although the Negroes clain more than 150,000 in Chicago should be eliminated by a Negro By all megns Chicago should send a Negro to Congress. The Ne groes of the 4th district of Maryland should nominate a man t oppose Sidney E Mudd, who had the stomach ache when the Dye bill was up in the House. If the Negroes in Philadelphia cai send two state Representatives to Harrisburgh, why can they no send one man to Washington? If the Negroes of Delaware cat throw the election to a Democrat then why not make a nominatio: of one of their own men? If the Negroes in Baltimore can elec two city aldermen, why cannot they concentrate upon a man t represent them in Washington? The concentration of Negroe in the Pittsburgh district should give them enough power t swing a man into Washington. In New Jersey, Negroes hav been elected to the state legislature which should inspire them t nominate.a man to represent them in Washington. The above are the possibilities for Representatives for Negroes We may not be able to get a Senator into Congress next year bu we can be instrumental in seeing that some of them are left. a home, as we did last November. The first one we should concer trate upon to see that he becomes a lame duck, is Senator Med McCormick of Illinois. His whitewashing of the Haitian “condi tions are enough for the Negroes to set down on him. It is pos sible that Mayor Dever of Chicago may oppose Senator McCo1 mick. If so, vote for Judge Dever and leave McCormick in Chi cago. Senator Capper’s segregation marriage bill, is of impo1 tance sufficient to see that he remains in Kansas and looks afte his chain of papers. Senator Ball of Delaware also will be u for re-election. The Negroes left Senator DuPont at home 1 think over his failure to measure up to his opportunity to re present all the people of Delaware. Senator Ball is chairman « the Senate District Committee, and is responsible for many. ir dignities to the Negroes of the District of Columbia. The lack ¢ a bathing beach is an outstanding factor. Let Senator Ball enjo the pleasures of the lame ducks.

Rider Haggard's "Allan Quartermain." Allan Quartermain, an Englishman, is the hero of the story, but it is the physical prowess of Umslopgass, a Zulu warrior, whose bravery and daring holds the reader's attention most. The white men and Umslopgass venture into a land nearly six hundred miles north of Zanzibar, so far north that no civilized man had ever penetrated. In that region of Africa dwelt a tribe of white people who had queer customs, who were not friendly to outsiders, and who were vicious. To read this book and visit this people, and tremble—is a treat. I have recommended this book to you once before. Because it is only that I will to do and I shall do. I must succeed, No prejudice can hold me back. I will succeed; Lack of preparedness shall not hold me back. I am black I shall, I must, I will succeed.

EMANCIPATION AND THE FREED IN AMERICAN SCULPTURE FREEMAN HENRY MORRIS MURRAY (Continued from last week) "PEACE," GROUP, INDIANAPOLIS, Bruno Schmitz, Sculptor On the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument in Indianapolis there is a relief group which shows a Negro. The group bears the name "Peace," complementing a group on the opposite face of the shaft named "War." The figures and the accessories in both groups indicate that they relate to the late Civil War in this country. The "designer" of these groups, as well as of the monument as a whole ```markdown ``` 30110 30110 PEACE (group) on Military Monument, Indianapolis Bruno Schmitz, Sculptor was Bruno Schmitz of Germany. Previous to designing this monument he had designed several very fine monuments which had been erected in Germany. I have referred to Mr. Schmitz as the "designer" of these groups, because that is the way the matter is stated in the historical accounts, wherein it is also stated that the actual modeling was done by another person. Besides the two relief groups, designated "War" and "Peace," respectively, as stated, there are two other groups, bearing the same names, which are modeled wholly "in the round." (The fact is, the so-called relief groups show every gradation of modeling from very low relief to full round figures.) The latter groups are situated below the relief groups; and, although they are a few feet from the base of the main shaft, against which the relief groups rest, they are so placed that at a little distance, viewed from the front, the lower groups and upper reliefs appear as one (it is not likely that this result was foreseen), thus making the relief groups appear considerably larger, although without this seeming augmentation they are described as the largest in the world. The main shaft is nearly three hundred feet high. At a little distance, it is very imposing and beautiful, notwithstanding it is perhaps a little over-ornamented and is surrounded by a distracting superfluity of individual figures, portrait statutes, candelabra, and what not. The monument was constructed in instalments extending over several years, being finally dedicated in 1902, thus being the latest of the larger War memorials that so far have been erected. The various ornaments, figures, statutes, etc., are the work of several different sculptors. The two relief groups—or perhaps we should say the four groups, two "War" and two "Peace"—are the chief sculptural features of the monument. Only the Peace group comes strictly within the scope of our subject; but since the two sets of groups are so closely related, and moreover, since the chief fault—as I see it—of the Peace group is present also in the War group; and since I think it will be easier to demonstrate its presence in the War group, by comparing that group with well-known groups of similar import; I shall take the liberty to discuss both groups, or sets of groups, briefly. The fault which I am about to impute to these groups is chiefly an artistic fault—if fault at all—yet it has bearing on the presence and the interpretation of the figure in which we are mainly interested. The two groups which I shall use for comparison with the War group here, are Rude's celebrated group on the "Arce de Triomphe," in Paris, and MacMonnies' Army group on the Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Arch in Brooklyn. 1972 5.16 These two latter groups somewhat resemble each other; and the War group here, resembles both, but in the manner of its treatment, and in conception especially, it is markedly different from them. Broadly speaking, Rude's group represents the powerful and universal appeal of a war based on national patriotism. His Bellona suggests consuming earnestness—flaming blood, we may say—yet not hate nor blood-thirstiness. The voice from her open mouth may be hoarse and strident, but her call is: "On to Glory!" and not only warriors, veterans and recruits, but all ages, classes, and conditions are surging forward in a fervor of enthusiasm in response to her summons. We may hardly call it war; this is only the openning phase of war, hence the name, "Le Depart,"—the Departure for War. In MacMonnies' group, "The Army," he has represented a body of infantry projected, as it were, right into the midst of a desperate situation—"exploded" there, the sculptor conceived it. Only two or three as yet have fallen and the detachment has scarcely gotten into action, though "bayonets bristle on every side." Bellona, seemingly unmindful of the critical situation of her wards, comes careering forward on her winged steed, and pressing the trumpet to her half-scornful lips, she blows a far-sounding Defiance. Both of these groups, it will be noted, represent conceptions not much more comprehensive than incidents or, at most, "occasions" in war. On the other hand, the Indianapolis group is a very ambitious undertaking. It attempts more than any but the very highest genius could hope to accomplish successfully. The group (viewing the two as one) essays to represent so much of the tumult and carnage as well as the glory of war, on a large scale; and brings into action so many arms of the service in so many stages of the fray; and, moreover, introduces such an overload of the symbolical and the figurative—and finally, in the lower part, a glimpse of the aftermath of the struggle—that one is at first bewildered, and after a time weared in the effort to disentangle, to correlate, and to interpret. (Continued next week) THE GIRL AND THE BIRD (Letter Se HAMMOND (Letter Series No 9) Some girls are fond of birds and flowers. They are the kind, smiling sort of folks. Perhaps you know of such girls—or perhaps you are one yourself. The girl in the picture seems to be on rather friendly terms with the bird. Do you think that the bird is a house pet or that the bird is free? Is OUR LETTER BOX Please place your age after your name in "every" letter. Dear Editor: I am a reader of the Washington Tribune, and I have decided to join and work with the other Tribumites. John Brown was one of the most prominent men among the agitators for freedom. It is vain to underrate either the man or his work, after his laboring for so many years and succeeding in aiding the cause of anti-slavery in many ways. He attacked Harper's Ferry in 1859, and with a number of his associates was made a prisoner. He labored earnestly for the cause so dear to him and to which he had given most of his years. After the fight at Harper's Ferry he said "I only labored to free the slaves." South Carolina, Missouri and Kentucky each sent a rope to hang him, whereas Kentucky's rope being the strongest, it was selected and used. John Brown's immortal name will be pronounced with blessingsss in all lands and by all people who love freedom until the end of time. FRANCES A. BLACKSTONE (16) (Second Prize Letter) Dear Editor: John Brown was one of a few white men who was a friend to colored people in the time of slavery. He lived in the South where slaves were on plantations by the hundreds. He got a great many Negroes who were brave and started a riot with the slave holders. After they had killed a lot of them, they fled to Harper's Ferry, West Virginia, where John Brown and his men were caught and of course killed. If you visit this place you will see their forts and caves, etc. GERTRUDE ANTHONY (14) Dear Editor; While sitting under an apple tree at grandma's place in Maryland an apple fell and struck me on my head. Only tasted the apple and then threw it away because it was so sour. That reminds me of the tree that John Brown was said to be hung on. You know who John Brown was, don't you? He was a man who led the slaves to rebellion, he hated slavery. He led conflicts between the slave owners. A son was killed in one of these conflicts which made John Brown hate the Southerners more than ever before. You know where we went last summer to Harper's Ferry—well he started out with seventeen white men and five colored men to attack that town of about 5,000 people. About fifty important people were made prisoners. He stayed in the town after plan- John Brown HAMMOND. he cripple? What do you think is the story told by the picture?

FRANCES PLUMMER (8) John Brown (NOTE: More "John Brown" prize letters will be published next week.) Dear Editor: This is my first letter to the "Children's Page." My mother takes the Washington Tribune every week. I am ten years old and I am in the 5-A grade at Garnet School. Dear Editor: I am writing to show my appreciation for the ticket I won Friday and was so glad when I saw my name as "Special." I went to the Dunbar Theatre and saw the colored show called "The Call of His People." I could have seen no better show. I am enclosing answers to Printer's Pi, Jumble and the omissions. I remain a true blue Tribune. FRANCES BOYD (Age ?) Dear Editor: I am continuing my work on the "Children's Page." I am expecting to be an "Honor Child" this week. I am sending in the Printer's Pi, Jumble, and the words out of the word Serpiture. KATE CAVANAUGH (11) Dear Editor: I took much pains in drawing this picture. I hope it is satisfactory. I think the letter "X" is a very hard letter to draw a suitable picture from. I send this picture with my compliments. THE HANDY GIRL Every girl knows what it means to get a stain on her dress. Removing stains and spots of different kinds from one's clothes is an art well worth careful study. No matter how careful we are, it seems like an impossibility to keep away from a freshly painted rail or door. As soon as you discover that you have a fresh paint spot on your dress rub it vigorously with a piece of the same material and unless it is a very large spot it will yield to the treatment. Boiling water will remove coffee and tea stains. Fruit stains may be treated in the same way if they are not too old. Medicine stains can be removed with alcohol; grass stains should be removed with applications of molasses and alcohol. Strong vinegar will re-remove whitewash. Chocolate can be removed from garments with borax and cold water. Don't say "nigger." Ten little fingers; chubby little nose: Pert little mouth as sweet as a rose; Ten dimpled and wiggling cute little toes— Just how much I love you nobody knows.
