HOSPITAL ISSUE NOW UP TO PRESIDENT COOLIDGE Chief Executive Receives Dr. M. O. Dumas, Dr. J. O. Plummer and Dr. Geo. E. Cannon who Explain the Race's Position on Hospital Issue First in Local Circulation. Vol. 3, No. 13 HOSPITA Chief Executive Dr. J. O. Plumme Explain the Ra Seek Complete Personnel Including All Staff Officers PREPARED TO FIGHT Moton Lines Up With Klan; Telegram Authenic in Every Detail In a conference with President Calvin Coolidge on Thursday a committee of Doctors advised him that the Negroes of this country will not stand for a white personnel either in whole or in part at the U. S. Veterans hospital located at Tuskegee, Alabama. The Committee that called on the President was composed of Dr. J. O. Plummer, of Raleigh, N. C., president of the National Medical Association; Dr. George E. Cannon, of Jersey City, N. J., member of the Executive Committee of the N. M. A.; and Dr. M. O. Dumas, of this city, also member of the Executive Committee of the N. M. A. The committee, which, with the addition of Dr. W. G. Alexander of Newark, N. J., was selected to co-operate with Director Hines in selecting a competent Negro personnel, stated how they had worked and secured the names of a number of high-class physicians who were willing to sacrifice their large practices and go to Tuskegee to prove to the world that Negroes could manage and run successfully such a hospital. In their talk with President Coolidge Thursday, the Committee reminded the President of the many promises made by the late President Harding and Director Hines and of the many promises broken in reference to appointing a complete Negro personnel at the Tuskegee hospital. It was impressed upon the President how these men had agreed to accept positions at this hospital with the explicit understanding that the entire personnel was to be colored. After these men had been secured by their committee, Director Hines steps in and says that he can not appoint Negroes to the three administrative positions, namely: Commanding Officer, Executive Officer and Chief of Clinics. The President was further reminded that this was simply done to meet the objection of a small group of whites at Tuskegee who had affiliated with the Klan in an effort to force the Federal Government to bow to their demands. The committee stated that it was un-American for the Government to build a separate hospital for the Negro soldiers in the first place, but that after building it, it certainly would be adding insult to injury for the Government to insist on placing the control in the hands of whites. The Committee further stated to the Presidet that Negroes will not yield in the matter of personnel. They will accept nothing short of a complete Negro staff from top to bottom. There is no compromise for them to make. If the U. S. Government, because of threats from a small group of whites, will refuse to appoint a complete Negro staff, then the Committee will recommend that all the doctors it has selected for positions at the hospital, decline to accept them, and expressed the assurance that not one man would go against their recommendation. Dr. Plummer stated that if the Government could not place a Negro personnel in charge, that he favored the selling or giving of the hospital to Tuskegee Institute and the building of another one in a more favorable section. Dr. Dumas, in a very emphatic manner stated that the Negro race was much concerned about the hospital and if necessary, was willing The Washington Tribune "Y" WATCHMAN LOCAL INSURANCE FREED OF MURDER COMPANY HAD A CHARGE BY JURY SMALL BEGINNING Seven Boys Who Took Part in Riot Held on Charge of Assault Joseph Hairston, night watchman at the Twelfth Street Branch Y. M. C. A. who killed Leon M. Jones, age 19, of 2325 Champlain street, on Sunday night, June 2th, in a riot in the lobby of the Y, was freed of the charge of murder when the Grand Jury this week, ignored the charge against him. A coroner's jury held Hairston on a charge of manslaughter, on the testimony of several members of the mob that attacked him on the night of June 24th. However, after the Grand Jury had taken the evidence in the case, it not only ignored the charge against Hairston, but held the seven Government witnesses, who testified in the case on a joint charge of assaulting Hairston with a brick. Those accused are Vantile C. Harris, Charles H. Smith, Aaron Bankett, Chester E. Lee, William Hope, Leroy Hamilton and Joseph Curtis. The trouble started at the Y. M. C. A. when a mob of boys, attempted to injure Hairston while he was on duty at the "Y" Sunday night, June 24th. The riot on this night however was a culmination of rowdism which had reigned at the "Y" for over two years. In an effort to break up this rowdyism, the night watchman had, a week before, had a boy arrested. So, in order to get even with Hairston, the friends of the arrested boy planned the Sunday night attack, with the result that Leon M. Jones was killed and Hairston was seriously injured. Hairston was shot in the arm and hit on the head with a brick. to spill some blood in defense of its position. The President received the committee very cordially. It was the first group of Negroes to call on the President since he was sworn in. He promised the committee that he would take up the matter and would see that absolute justice was done. The committee was given plenty of time to make its presentation and the President listened very attentively. The appointment was arranged by Dr. George E. Cannon, through his Senator, Mr. Walter E. Edge of New Jersey. This same committee conferred with Director Hines of the Veterans' Bureau Friday at 2 o'clock, the result of which conference has not yet been learned. Dr. Plummer, Dr. Cannon and Dr. Dumas are determined to wage this fight to the finish. R. R. Moton of Tuskegee Institute has now been forced to the back ground by reason of his infamous telegram which was published in this and a number of other papers which is found to be authentic in every detail, and by reason of his sending it definitely lines him up with the Ku Klux Klan and those who desire to see the whites control this hospital. The telegram was as follows: C. W. Hare, Tuskegee, Ala. Advise 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. Negro sentiment is now lined up Published Weekly E NOW I. O. Dumas, E. Cannon who in Hospital Issue LOCAL INSURANCE COMPANY HAD A SMALL BEGINNING To the men and women of the colored race here in the Nation's capital, the 25 years record of service and success of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company needs no word of explanation or emphasis. But it will be news, and good news to all the thousands of friends of this company, that the stockholders have just voted to increase the capital stock from $100,000 to $250,000 for the purpose of a larger expansion of the business in a number of new states as well as in the District of Columbia and the states where it is already entrenched. This authority was voted at a special meeting of the stockholders on August 11, when plans for the extension of the work were mapped out with a view to keeping this organization in the vanguard of financial institutions created, owned, and managed by colored men in the interest of the race. From its tiny beginning, by means of hard, steady worm, intelligent organization, and high grade personnel, the National Benefit Life Insurance Company has grown into the large and commanding position which it now occupies, with an unbroken record of twenty-five annual dividends paid to stockholders, with 125,000 benefited policy holders, and $20,000,000, of insurance in force. Its assets are $750,000, including several valuable real estate holdings in the District of Columbia and in four states; a reserve of $465,592; a surplus of $100,000, and it has on deposit for the protection of policy holders the sum of $236,100. To carry on its present business the company has a force of 1,200 employees, including 110 district managers and assistants, 40 local agents, and 930 field agents. It's hope of becoming an Old Line Reserve Company, with a paid up capital of $100,000, materialized in 1918 when this name was officially changed to the National Benefit Life Insurance Company. It now operates in some states that no other colored company has yet succeeded in entering. On more than one occasion it has successfully met competition of the largest companies; it issues a variety of Industrial and Ordinary policies calculated to meet practically every need to which humanity is heir, and to materially assist in smoothing life's pathway in innumerable ways. It is the only company of its kind incorporated under the laws enacted by the United States Congress for the District of Columbia. The steady growth of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company is a testimonial to the faith, industry, and loyalty of its employee, who entered into the work with an enthusiasm that knew no bounds. But the simple truth is that the man who founded this great and successful business organization for the protection and benefit of the Negro race, was dealing with the gigantic forces of life and self-development for a whole race. Mr. Rutherford, following some inner instinct of faith, did not at the beginning realize himself the enormous power which he was calling into action—the power generated by combining the credit and earnings of a great number of the protection of each individual in times of emergency or need. In a word, cooperation on a great scale with systematic organization and faithful attention to detail. The National Benefit Life Insurance Company is now doing business in the District of Columbia, and in the states of New Jersey, Rhode Island, Kentucky, Virginia, Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland, and within a short time will open offices and establish an administrative force in the states of Tennessee, Kansas, Arkansas, North Carolina, Missouri, and Alabama. As soon as the present stock issue has been sold, application will be made for license to do business in the states of Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois, and Nebraska. The laws of some of the latter states require a capitalization of not less than $200,000 before license will be granted solidly behind the National Medical Association and its Committee, and any form of boycott against the hospital to force a Negro personnel will be religiously supported by the entire race throughout the country. A definite decision on the question of personnel is expected very soon, the matter having been brought so squarely before President Coolidge. Airplane view of the Two Million Dollar Hospital for Ex-Service Men, at Tuskegee, Alabama Lily Whites Receive Important Appointments Moton's Treachery Uncovered As was to be expected, Robert R. Moton now denies the sending of the telegram to C. W. Hare quoted in another column. In a telegram sent to the Afro-American, published in its current issue, he says: Cincinnati, Ohio, August 14 (Special)—"The Tribune telegram declaring that I invited the white Tuskegee Committee to Washington for a conference with Director Hines is false." Notwithstanding Moton's flat denial in the above telegram the Tribune is in possession of a letter written by Moton's Secretary, Albion Holsey, in which the sending of the telegram is admitted and attempted to be explained. The letter in part follows: Tuskegee Institute, Ala. August 10, 1923 Dear Mr. LaVille: I wrote you a letter yesterday and since then I have been thinking of the telegram which came into your hands, and which the Tribune released to the colored papers. I am not willing to believe that you would maliciously publish this telegram in the way you did when your own knowledge of the situation based upon facts which I gave you would have explained the full purport of Dr LARGE NUMBER GRADUATE FROM SUMMER SCHOOL Mr. Campbell C.

The company's headquarters is located in its own five-story building at 609 F Street Northwest, where—twenty-five years ago—young Rutherford had his table and chair and paid $6 the month as a tenant, and which is only one of the properties owned by the company. The officers and directors of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company are among the best known and influential men of Washington, consisting of R. H. Rutherford, president and treasurer; Dr. W. A. Warfield, vice-president; S. W. Rutherford, secretary and manager; J. H. Bravton, I. S. Burke, C. B. Lee, S. E. Cooper, and H. E. Lowery. Moton's strategy in sending that message. That same confidence which I have in you leads me to write you this letter with the expressed wish that it shall not be published or shown to any one except Mr. Walker. (Signed) ALBION L. HOLSEY, Secretary to the Principal In addition to the above written admission that the telegram referred to was sent, we learn that Mr. Moton's secretary when asked concerning it, admitted to Mr. James A. Cobb of this city that the telegram was sent and attempted to explain that it was sent to "trick the Ku Klux crowd" in Tuskegee. The above letter which was marked "confidential," would not have been published but for the denial which Moton is broadcasting through the press. To withhold this specific and definite proof of the sending of the telegram in the light of Moton's denial would place this paper in a false light. We therefore, are forced for our own protection to give the public the facts notwithstanding the request for secrecy. train Campbel C. Johnson, Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. His subject was "Vision."

W. al for Ex-Service Men, Appointments Col. C. O. Sherrill and C. Bascom Slemp Get First Plums The first two official acts of President Calvin Coolidge has been the appointment o ftwo Lily-whites to important positions in his administration. Col. C. O. Sherrill, who was in charge of public buildings and grounds was retained by the new President and in addition, was made one of the President's aids. The President's second appointment was that of C. Bascom Slemp as Secretary to the President. These two appointments have staggered the Negro more than anything else the President could have done. Col. Sherrill was a holdover from the Wilson administration. He hails from North Carolina. During the Wilson regime, Sherrill started a reign of segregation that soon made the atmosphere in the public buildings here anything but pleasant for the Negro. Sherrill overlooked no opportunity to stick up a segregation sign. When President, Harding came into office he held Sherrill in office with his segregation. Shortly after Harding had reappointed him, Sherrill posted jim crow signs in Rock Creek Park. However, these signs were torn down by the Negroes and Sherrill was forced to retract. Other acts of Sherrill, was his refusal to locate the Negro bathing beach on the Tidal Basin; he segregate Negroes on the tennis courts, on the golf course, on the baseball diamonds and at the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial. Sherrill's appointment is a direct affront to the Negroes of the District and certainly will not re-act to any advantage for President Coolidge and his administration. The appointment of C. Bascom Slemp of Big Stone Gap, Va., as Secretary to the President, is to the Negroes at-large what Sherrill's appointment is to the Negroes in the District. Slemp is the father of the Lily-white movement in the South. As chairman of the Republican State Committee in Virginia, Slemp has done everything he could to discredit the Negroes, who at one time formed the backbone of the Republican organization in Virginia. At the last meeting of this committee, which was held in Richmond, Slemp carried the meeting to a hotel where Negroes were not allowed and then placed burley policemen at the entrance to see that no Negroes should even try to slip in. In addition to Slemp's record with the Negroes, he has been engaged in selling Federal Jobs in Virginia to the highest bidders. Correspondence of a personnel nature was found last summer relative to this practice and (Continued on page 5) The Best Sport Page in the East. COOLIDGE POPULAR LOCAL BOY DIES IN CLEVELAND, O.

SPORT CHATTER PAGE FOUR SPORT Potomacs Play Norfolk Stars Here Aug.26 Ben Taylor will bring his rejuvenated Potomac here on August 26, to meet the Norfolk Stars of Norfolk Va, at the American League Park The Stars have been playing in Pennsylvania, New York and the New England States for the past two months and will stop over here for a single game on their way back to Norfolk The Potomacs are going better now than at any time this season. Manager Taylor has gotten rid of all disgruntled players and those who only tried at intervals and now has a fast, hustling group of youngsters who are out to win every game. The addition of "Stringbeans" Williams has greatly strengthened the staff. Washington the young outfielder from Georgia who broke his ankle early in the season is again developing into a star. Jefferson is playing the best ball of his career, while Albritton is one of the leading pitchers in the East. The Norfolk stars have administered defeats to some of the fastest white and colored clubs in the country and as the strength of the Potomacs is well known a bitterly contested game is assured. Trailing the Potomacs POTOMACS EASILY BEAT STRONG NATIVITY TEAM Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. 11—The Potomacs had an easy time with the strong Nativity club here today, beating them by a one-sided score, 11 to 4. Clarke, of the Potomacs, pitched a tight ball, holding the Catholics safe all the way.

Taylor relieved Albritton in the ninth but was unable to stop the local's rally. ROSS PROBABLY OUT FOR SEASON During the third inning of the Hilldale-Black Sox game at Philadelphia last Saturday, William Ross, formerly a member of Ben Taylor's Washington Potomac, was struck on the head by a line drive from the bat of George Ford and knocked unconscious. At the Merey hospital his condition was pronounced serious. Ross has only been with Hilldale two weeks. LOCAL OPEN TOURNAMENT TO TALLY HOLMES One of the most successful tennis tournaments in the history of the game here came to a close Thursday with Tally Holmes still maintaining his unbroken string of annual victories in local open championships by his defeat of "Bill" Williams in the finals. Holmes paired with Ted Thompson also won the doubles. Dr. Rhetta of Baltimore failed to reach the semi-finals being conquered by Ted Thompson in the fourth round. A double team from St. Paul Normal School, Turner and lasted until the semi-finals. Alvin Woolridge landed the Junior singles and became possesor of the Charles E. Lane cup. Cook and Walker defeated Woolridge and Henry for the Junior doubles. The events were hurried through to allow Thompson and Woolridge an early start for Chicago where they will appear in the national championships.

HILLDALE SMOTHERS BALTIMORE BLACK SOX Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 11—Hilldale buried the Baltimore Black Sox under an avalanche of runs and base hits in an Eastern Colored League game at Hilldale Park; the Marylanders being on the short end of a 17 to 2 score. Carter loitered around the scene of action until the second frame, after George Johnson skied out to Kemp, "Judy" Johnson poked out a single, Allen and Ross followed in order, Ross's drive sending Johnson and Allen over the pan, Lloyd doubled on his first trip to the plate and the Sox captain figured that Carter had enough. Mahoney went to the hill and retired the side without further scores that inning, but was chased to the showers in the 6th ninning when he ran headlong into a barrage of hits that netted three tallies for the Darbyites. Britton finished the task and was in turn finished by the Hilldale club swangers, 9runs and 10 hits were combed from his delivery during his 2 and 2-3 innings on the mound. The Sox finally broke into the scoring column in the 8th round, Blaney Hall making the first visitor's tally, a personally conducted affair by slamming one of Cockrell's benders over the right field fence. The other marker was produced in the last frame on Clarke's triple and Britton's single Clarke was the chief offender for the visitors, registering a single, double and a triple, almost half of the hits made by his culb. r h o Hilldale .121 013 36x—17 21 Balto. .000 000 011—2 7 2 Batteries: Ross, Cockrell and Mackey, Britton and Clarke.

A sensational ninth inning rally when seven runs were pushed over gave the league leaders their victory over the Bears, 11 to.7. "Spike" Bland and "Chick" Hughes allowed but five hits. The fielding of Nickens, Greenfield, Grant and Kelly and the hitting of C. Harris and Nickens both connecting for homers, were the features. Ben Fells was knocked unconscious in a collision and forced out of the game.

Williams began his pitching career under C. I. Taylor at West Baden. Since then he has played with the A. B. C. club, Rube Foster's American Giants, and St. Louis Giants. He has been in the game a number of years and is regarded as being one of the greatest pitchers of all times. If you are interested in music, you would enjoy reading the "Music Forum." SIX ARMSTRONGERS GETTING EXPERIENCE IN TWILIGHT Six Armstrong High School baseball players are performing with credit on Twilight League teams. The Buffalooes have pitcher Sam Lacey whose mound work has caused quite a bit of favorable comment as have also William Hope, third-sacker and Frederick Ellis, second baseman. Harry Turner was secured by the LeDroit Tigers when Kenner was injured and has filled the bill at this position every since William Temple is holding down an infelber berth with the Brookland Giants. The third-base gap in the Piedmont line-up is cleverly handled by Van Harris. The amateur status of none of the above players is effected by being members of league clubs since no salaries are paid. All clubs and players are regarded as amateurs excluding the few players who have played with professional teams in other cities. LAFAYETTES WANT GAMES The Lafayette A. C., a fast nine of Alexandria is desirous of arranging games wiht any nine in the District of Columbia or neighboring towns. Satisfactory arrangements can be made through Perry R. Felton, 1001 Oronoco Street, Alexandria, Va. Business Manager. The Lafayettes are anxious to cross bats with the Fredericksburg Frogs. WILBERFORCE SCHEDULE HEAVY The schedule for Wilberforce's 1923 football season is extremely heavy. Included in the schedule are Howard at Washington and West Virginia Institute at Columbus, Ohio.

(Columbus, Ohio) FREDERICKSBURG FROGS DEFEAT VIRGINIA ALL-STARS All-Stars Wobbled When Punch Was Needed Most Alexandria, Va., Aug. 16—The Fredericksburg Frogs really had something to croak about after defeating the Virginia All-Stars by the score of 8 to 2. The game was hard fought from the beginning. Broadus Beckham the youthful pitcher for the Stars was taken from the mound after two severe innings of slugfesting by the visitors. The game was played in the Dreadnaught's Park on upper King Street and was witnessed by a crowd of 500 or 600 fans. When Allan Beckham, captain of the stars, relieved him, the fans gave him a rousing greeting. Allan worked in pretty good shape but the Frogs played havoc by hitting over second base and gradually piling up scores. The visiting pitcher was too much for the local boys. In the seventh, Isaiah Taylor made a three bagger which brought in a run for the Stars. The jinx was with the All-Stars on their initial admission game, but the fans proved loyal and are clamoring for another game in the park. The All-Stars will journey to Fredericksburg the first part of next month to break this season's tie with the Frogs. The All-Stars will stage a double header on North Alfred Street Sunday, beginning at two o'clock. The first game is scheduled to be with the East Washington Braves, the second game to be with the Gladiators. BELMONTS MEET LAFAYETTE, JUNIORS Joe Smith for the Belmonts and Wallace for the Lafayette Juniors will oppose each other on the mound Sunday at 17th and D Sts., S.E.

Clyde Cook in "THE ARTIST" Musical Embellishment with Lights THEATRE NOTES JOHNNY HINES BOOKED IN A NEW COMEDY Johnny Hines, America's popular juvenile screen comedian, is booked for an engagement at the Lincoln theatre beginning Thursday evening. This time Johnny comes with a new feature comedy under the title of "Sure Fire Flint," taken from a story by Gerald C. Duffy, known for his stories filled with pep and dash. Those who remember Johnny in "Burn 'Em Up Barnes" will certainly welcome him in his latest photo play. In "Sure Fire Flint" Johnny will keep everyone in high spirits; he is always doing things that will bring a thousand laughs. This picture is filled with many a thrill, especially the one where he races his automobile across a railway crossing only to have it demolished by the dashing express train. Also the scene taken from the trenches, where he holds up a card and has it punctured by a rifle ball from an alert Heinie sharp-shooter, not omitting the big cabaret shots, where Johnny proves himself a regular Vernon Castle. There are many other scenes that will bring forth true hearty laughter. Mr. Hines is surrounded by a cast of well-known people, including the beautiful Doris Kenyon, Effie Shannon, Robert Edeson, Edmund Breese, J. Barney Sherry, Charles Gerrard and others. The piece was directed by Dell Henderson and Billy Bitzer, Cameraman for Griffiths, took the secenes. All the sets were designed by Charles O. Sessel. ROSEMARY THEBY VAMPS WITH THE SCREEN'S BEST Vamps may come and vamps may go, but Rosemary Theby vamps on forever. Miss Theby may not have the world fame of Theda Bara, Pola Negri or Nita Naldi but for eight years Rosemary has vamped consistently and the men of screen fame who have fallen victims to her allurement are indeed numerous. Edwin Carewe's "The Girl of the Golden West," a First National picture will be shown at the Lincoln Theatre four days starting Sunday. Miss Theby essays the part of Nina Micheltorena, a Spanish dancer in love with the bandit, Ramerrez, and it is said her work is so finished that vamping may be said to have reached the stage of an art.

Buster Keaton in— "THE BALLOONATIC" Don't forget LETTERS TO THE EDITOR To the editor of the Tribune: He who would distribute advice and counsel, unbingly and charitably, gives that which is usually valueless or extremely dangerous to innocent adherents. These words are an introduction to what the writer hopes may help serve to counteract much of the unwelcomed and illogical advice that is so often forced into public print and on lecture platforms by those who term themselves "Race Leaders," who sit upon their majestic seats of selfish aggrandizement and cast out fallacious and idiotic crumbs of advice, thinking that the Negro race at large, like hungry pigeons will devour their admonitions and in turn vomit their indigestible words into the souls of their children, but fortunately this is untrue. This article was prompted by one of the above kinds of sophisticated articles in an issue of a local paper by a certain writer in which he deals out what he terms "some of the indispensable prerequisites of the success of my brethren in the United States." In the prerequisites he says, "Remove from us the incubus of colorcaste;" the second "Let us co-operate," then he quotes poetry. Can the Negro remove burdens of color caste in America? The colored citizens of America occupy a position that is unique, which is a historical precedence, what may be termed "Fettered Liberty." This condition was not occasioned by their own misapplication. Is it then possible for the first prerequisite to be solved by those burdened with racial despotism, political and economical demarcations, when such conditions are heaped upon them by an unfriendly race that has every conceivable advantage? Wealth, education, morality, Christianity, unification and organizations have so far to even ameliorate this deplorable condition. The second prerequisite is an undeniable fact: "Let us cooperate," but immediately he writes: "I cannot say in poetic phrase 'Abide we in ourselves alone, With virtue be we armed.'" It is incomprehensible to believe that he wants us to co-operate and yet not co-operate, for co-operation means: the association or collective action of persons for their common good or benefit. Did the gentleman intend for us to co-operate with the whites? This is impossible. We cannot co-operate with those who refuse to join in the co-operation. He seems skeptical over the fact that colored people do not patronize their own business ventures, and proceeds to defend the ones who support the whites in preference to their own. Two very flimsy examples are given as why we go to others, the first example is that of "a friend of mine employed a colored electrician" (notice the word being quoted) to repair her door bell. He pretended to repair it and charged an exhorbitant price; but within a week, the bell was just as much in need of repairs as before." The story that follows is as old as the hills and is always a subtifuge by which our folks usually quibble out, when accosted for employing whites, that is the white man did the work right and charged less. O tempora, o GEE WHIZ, THIS IS A LONESOME SPOT TO BE AROUND THIS TIME ONICHT. THURS.. FRI., and SAT. AUGUST 23, 24, & 25 mores. In the United States a Negro's money will purchase anything that any other citizen's money will purchase, save those commodities with tendencies toward social equality. An electric door bell is a peculiar thing, one screw left unadjusted might render the bell temporarily useless, hence the colored "electrician" should have been re-called. Naturally, a white electrician would not charge the same to adjust a loose screw that the colored man did to repair the whole bell. The gentleman quotes the word electrician when referring to his colored brother, which implies that he was not a reputable electrician. The gentleman seems to forget that white men have for more than a quarter of a thousand years robbed Negroes of every available thing they could. It is a tendency, however, of our people to never forget a wrong committed by one of our group. An article purchased from a large downtown department store may be of an inferior quality, an excuse will be rendered for its inferiority by the purchaser who must be quizzed about it before it will be mentioned. A similar article purchased from a "U" Street Colored merchant would be put on exhibition and these words with jestures used: "You see, I always want to patronize my own color, but you can never get anything that is any good from them." This happens more among our better class of people than among the ordinary laboring people yet Negro physicians, lawyers, preachers, teachers and business men could not exist were it not for their colored clientele. Every Negro business that fails makes more servants for whites. The second example given is one about a barber's chair that needed upholstering. This is a very poor example for he admitted that he went into the nearest shop in one of the towns of his travels. In every organized community Negro barber shops are generally the best of race ventures, hence this one is superficial. Perhaps the gentleman might have gone into a white barber shop as did his lady friend to the white electrician, but white barbers do not mix their customers, this, if for no other reason, that white barbers do not compete with colored barbers for colored trade, Negro barbers are the best equipped and most prosperous of business men. White business places as a rule. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, AUGUST 18, 1923 ELEVATE 'EM BUB ELEVATE 'EM!! will not employ Negro clerks or skilled workmen. Our schools are sending out thousands of educated young people yearly, who can never hope to be more than messengers, porters and char women in their places. Negro business is the only redeeming source. Shall we let weak kneed politicians and the like discourage patronage to the one hope of our race? God forbid! Common sense should tell us that a freshman in college should not be the intellectual equal of a senior, no matter what his natural abilities are. The same rule may be applied to the Negro business and white business places. Negro business is yet in its infancy, there are hardly two one-million-dollar corporations among us, yet a reasonable man desires that the Negro business men sell as cheaply as whites who have billions of dollars at their disposal. The ministers get their share of criticism and abuse, he employs us to "dispise every minister of the gospel who is not sincere" Can a minister of the gospel be insincere? Jesus Christ did not show hatred toward Judas Iscariot whom he knew was insincere, and he says "I am the way." Jesus in his sermon on the mountain said among other things: "Judge not, etc." also "Why behold the mote in thy brother's eye, etc." This writer lays no great claim as to his belief in orthodox Christianity, yet he cannot evade the philosophy of those words. After advising us to hate all insidious ministers the writer then tells of his disgust with those of us who hate all white people. The only construction that we can place on that doctrine in the holy writ that teaches turning the other cheek when slapped on one and giving your cloak when your coat has been taken, is that the Teacher meant to draw the intruder back to ascertain his true intention toward you, then use your own discussion toward him, as the third move was not mentioned by the Teacher. The sub-conscious mind reveals itself to the conscious mind but the conscious mind does not always act upon the revelations or advice of the sub-conscious mind. Yet the sub-conscious mind embodies all of the impressions of our lives. Most of us, if not all of us have not reached that stage where we can direct and bid our sub-conscious minds in certain chan- iels, while we think it not always wise to act upon the suggestions of the sub-conscious mind. Yet first impressions are always lasting even though not always authentic, when we find that our first impressions are augmented daily by conditions that are equally as bad or worse than the first impressions then it is unwise to expect the impressions first made to yield or be ameliorated by false reasoning and argument. For instance, the writer of this article well remembers the first white men he saw, it was when he was four years of age in his native state of Alabama, while standing in the front yard of his humble home. A wagon passed, loaded with white men and one colored youth. These white men carried this colored man to what now seems to be about 250 yards from our home, and stretched him upon the ground and drove staves all through his body, leaving him there. Daily we have heard of or seen conditions almost if not equally as bad as this or have been in some way reminded of similar incidents. No amount of reasonings can change this childhood impression, because of the added conditions, yet we know that it is not always wise to exhibit this hatred, we cannot prevent the sub-conscious from constantly revealing itself and occasionally causing us to exhibit this hatred toward white people. The friendship of whites toward Negroes in America has always been that of economic tolerance. Had native Africans been able to withstand the beaky blasting cold winters of Massachusetts in his accustomed garb of five leaves and durable enough to trample over the icy hills of Pennsylvania, barefooted, the guns at Ft. Summer would have never thundered the beginning of a civil war and Lincoln's Gettysburg speech would have never been a classic. No, our friends do not tolerate us, they welcome us; they do not pity us, they admire and esteem us; they do not say that it is against policy to allow us to enjoy the fullest rights and immunities that the national constitution gives, but give every right unmolested and unsolicited. But we fail to find any such friendship exhibited toward us in America. The young Negro does not need so much advice, in fact, he seldom reads and never acts upon the advice given MAKE ONE MOVE BO, AN YOU'RE DEAD, SEE, DEAD! LILY WHITES REGEIVE IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT when Mr. Slemp found it out, he refused to stand for re-election knowing that to do so would simply be inviting defeat. The following are but samples of a larger number of letters showing the corrupt practices as carried on by Slemp, his secretary, L. B. Howard, and B. R. Powell, his field agent in Virginia. (Copy) HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Washington, D. C. Dec. 22, 1921. Mr. B. R. Powell, Gretna, Va. Dear Ben; I have letters in regard to the collection of money for post offices. One must be very careful about this. It will bring the party into disrepute which would be bad for every one. We must preserve our standing with the people and with the administration. With best wishes, I am Sincerely yours, (Signed) C. B. SLEMP Committee on Appropriations C. B. Slemp, 9th District Virginia (copy) HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Washington, D. C. December, 27th, 1921 Dear Ben: Dear Ben: I enclose you a copy of letter I received from Mr. Jones a short time ago. I have succeeded in pulling his son over the top and am ready to make the appointment, but before we do so it will be necessary for you to get in touch with him and arrange for some money. We will have to have at least $150.00 in order to come out whole. It took half of that amount to put the matter over, which I will explain to you when I see you. I want you to handle the matter instead of writing to them direct. It is a very delicate matter and I had to do some strong wire pulling to get it through and I know you can work it in the right way. I would not write any letter on the matter but phone Admission by those whom he believes to be insineere. We think that the Young Negro needs to be left alone as he is carving his way and making the rough places smooth. If more of our so-called race leaders would devote the greater part of their time to their respective professions, such as they are, we would have more specialists, and their advice would be sought as such and they would be amply compensated for it, and their words would not so often fall on deaf cars. Example is the best method by which to help the race. Writing or using high-sounding, illogical sentimental phrases means nothing. Principle should be established, more Negro business organized and well patronized so that when our youth finish their education they may find well-equipped places to earn decent salaries. Men who are doing tangible things have no time to give so much misplaced advice, they are too busy employing their youth and building monuments of principle, finance, wood brick and stone. THOMAS C.

Be sure and destroy this letter after you are through with it. Photostat copies of these letters and many others are now reposing in the files of a well-known office in Washington. Mr. Slemp, it is understood, was appointed Secretary in order to attract to Mr. Coolidge's banner the southern vote in the next National Convention. According to well informed politicians, Mr. Slemp was for Mr. Lowden for President, so in order to wreck Mr. Lowden's chances in 1924,the Coolidge crown deemed it wise to take in Mr. Slemp regardless of his record. If the two appointments above are true indications of Mr. Coolidge's future policy, then the Negroes may just as well break camp as far as Republican politics are concerned.

A. A. C. P. and personal protests of a few Negroes. To place an alleged Klansman at the head of the hospital for Negro Veterans is an insult to the race; but to maintain that man as head of this hospital after he permitted the government's sheets to be used by the Ku Klux in a parade on the night of July 3rd is an outrage and travesty on justice and authority of the Government. No greater insult could be offered Negroes than to ask them to go to the Tuskegee hospital, either as patients or part of the personnel, as long as it is controlled by white officers. Has the Director of the Veterans' Bureau lost all sense of justice and fair-mindedness? This is certainly a crisis for the race. The only remedy is to reject any compromise. Complete personnel or no hospital. As evidence of the Negro's helplessness in politics, we have not seen the name of a single Negro who has been called in to confer with the new President. Not a single Negro politician has been in to even pay his "respects." Since the death of the late President Harding, every white politician of any note in the country has either been to see President Coolidge or has been called in for a "conference." But not a single Negro has been heard from. It is because the Republicans know that they have the "undying loyalty" of the race for "what the party HAS done for the Negro." They do not have to worry about the 15,000,000 Negroes in this country. As a result the millions of Negro voters do not mean anything to the Republicans for they have them in their vest pocket already. As evidence of the Negro's helplessness, the name of a single Negro has interfered with the new President. No one has been in to even pay his "respects." President Harding, every white polity country has either been to see President in for a "conference." But no hard from. It is because the Republic is "undying loyalty" of the race for the Negro."

The Negro is such a "lovable, loyal American citizen" and "died-in-the-wool" Republican. By this "loyalty" he has lost all of the political power that he ever held. He is without a real political leader and follows blindly anything and anybody. There is not a single Negro in the country that can control 50,000 votes. Helpless, that's all. The appointment of C. Bascom Slemp, the Negro hater from Big Stone Gap, Va., by President Coolidge as his secretary is another demonstration of the Republicans' heedlessness of the Negro voter. We realize that the appointment of a secretary, by the President, is considered a personal matter, but we consider the appointment of C. Bascom Slemp, the daddy of the lily whites of the South, as a personal insult to every Negro in the United States. Yet we are helpless in the matter. Will we remain so? Will we show our resentment at the polls in 1924? The appointment of Col. C. O. Sherrill, as aide to President Coolidge is another appointment of a man whose race hatred is outstanding. Surrounding himself with this type of race-prejudiced and race-hating Southerners the President is formenting the crisis of the race more and more. However, if the failure to appoint a full Negro personnel at Tuskegee and the appointments of Slemp and Sherrill will be the force to unite the Negroes of this country against the Republicans and force them into the realization of their own power, then the price is not too great. A million Negroes united together on any given proposition will be a factor demanding recognition. There are fully seven million Negroes of voting age in this country. That is the balance of power in any election. We have the power, but it is unrealized and unorganized. If we can only begin the organization of this wonderful balance of power during the present crisis, we can lift up our heads with honorable pride, for the Negro will have found himself and the future holds forth untold returns. 3 Big Excursions.

Mrs. Breeding as well as her gifted husband, believes in good singing and a first class choir as an able adjunct to the service of a modern church. We commend them in this effort and wish every success possible to be had in the carrying on. Would that more of our churches could see the necessity of reorganizing their choirs on a modern standard of voice and relegate so much of old timber as is necessary to the accomplishment but you know they are afraid, most of them, because of too much 'friedship' among themselves which doesn't amount to very much on general principle in a church nowadays. One-half of the folks in choirs sleep too much, talk too much, giggle too much and added, to that, can't sing a note at sight or a tune respectfully, but they can beat the world dictating and telling what should or ought not be done.

Miss Nellie Freeman, public school teacher and late vocal pupil of Miss Marie James who presented her in a special recital at a local church last Spring, died suddenly in New York City a few days since, according to reliable reports. She was pursuing a summer course in music and her sudden demise is quite shocking to friends and acquaintances hereabouts. Clyde I. Glass of Kansas City, noted musician and pianist, is coming to Washington in the Fall of this year where he will establish his pianoforte studio. He has studied with Madame Leschetizsky in Paris, France and in Munich, Germany as well as in his own country, and has traveled extensively giving much time to recitals. He is now in New York City pursueing an advanced course in several music subjects at Columbia University and with his present superior musical education will make a splendid addition to the talented coterie of local musicians. He joins the faculty of the Columbia Conservatory of Music at 1911 Ninth Street northwest where his studio will be maintained. Mr. Glass is a personal friend of Prof. Roy W. Tibbs and the conservatory secured his services upon his recommendation. Watch for special announcement of his coming in September. Roland Hayes of whom Ernest Newman, foremost music critic of England, says he is "the only really good tenor who has come along lately" is coming back to Washington next season on his first American tour according to recent reports. His initial appearance will be in Symphony Hall, Boston, Massachusetts with other large music centers listed enroute. Certainly Washington will give him a rousing reception equalled to or possibly surpassing his last appearance at the Lincoln Theater. Roland Hayes went to Europe a singer of high promise, he returns a figure of international importance. The verdict of the press of Paris, the critics of Vienna, the innumerable tributes in the English press and the comments on his return recital in Boston is one of the most extraordinary incidents in the career of any colored musician of recent times.

Cooklin (of Westfield, Indiana) the group is described thus: "The panel representing 'War' is a battle scene, representing cavalry, charging infantry and artillery. In the centre the fierce Goddess of War urges on the charge while Columbia, in the background, upholds the stars and stripes." e The description relates to the upper or relief group only. At the time it was written the lower group had not been placed in position. The latter shows three soldiers conversing; one, a youthful-looking drummer, seems to be wounded—or homesick. The description just cited seems very brief and inadequate. The fact is, in this booklet as well as in the writings of other Indiana people and in the newspapers, the chief matters dwelt upon are the size of the mon- Beaufort, South Carolina.

The Indianapolis "News," in a souvenir booklet describes the War group, or groups as follows: "The central figure of the War group, rising full from the outer edge of the group, is the Goddess of War in an advancing position, torch in hand, her countenance breathing threatenings and slaughter. Around her whirls the tide of battle, a general on horseback, the individual soldier in various attitudes, scouting, firing, advancing, lying wounded, while in the reliefs fading insensibly into the mon- At top—THE AR Memorial Arch Sculptor. To the left—WAR dienapolis, Brune ument are the rank and file of the advancing battle line." Yet in all of it we see no black man, though here, if anywhere—here, where there is powder smoke—he would seem most fittingly to have a place, both for his honor's sake and the truth's sake: for we well know that in the war which these scenes represent—the war to save the Union and land a fact—as in all others of this to make universal liberty in this nation's wars, the American Negro has been no "slacker." Turning now to the Peace group—wherein a black man appears, seemingly as an afterthought or a sort of supernumerary—there is, artistically viewed, as much confusion and incoherence as in the other, and there is more over-loading; and in it the symbolical and the figurative are needlessly and hopelessly mixed with the realistic and commonplace. The main idea which the group purports to represent is the homecoming of the soldiers after the War; a subject which in skillful hands may permit idealization—as indeed any subject may—yet which does not require it. The booklet first before-quoted says of this group: "The Peace group represents the home-coming of the victorious troops—the happy reunion of families and the peaceful emblems of labor. In the centre Liberty upholds the flag, while at her feet the freed slave lifts up his broken chains. The Angel of Peace hovering over the scene holds aloft the wreath of victory and the olive branch of peace." The description in the "News" booklet is about the same, but the freed slave is not mentioned, and "Liberty" is called the "Goddess of Peace." There would seem to be enough "doing" here to supply motifs for several groups. It reminds me of the "grand finale" of our old country tableau-exhibitions, in which finale (illuminated by red fire) we would try to introduce every character that had been used in the preceding "pictures" — from "Mother Goose" to the "Angel of the Resurrection," and from "Columbus" to "Uncle Tom and Eva" — adding, of course, "Uncle Sam" and "Columbia" with the flag, and as many other characters as we were able to costume and could crowd on the stage. Referring to the "freed slave," recumbent in the fore-ground, he seems to be the only one in the whole ensemble that is giving "Liberty" (or the "Goddess of Peace") whichever it THE BATTLE OF THE BAY OF BAY At top—THE ARMY, group, on Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Arch, Brooklyn, Frederick MacMonnies, Sculptor.

Perhaps after all, the designer of the group is not responsible for the slave's position and pose, nor even his presence; for it appears from the booklets mentioned, that the original design by Mr. Schmitz underwent some alterations at the hands of the committee. Perhaps one of the alterations was the addition of this "freed slave." Indeed it seems not an extravagant supposition to imagine that he was actually made and placed where he is, after the group or model had been otherwise completed. The motives for this addition—if it was an addition—were no doubt laudable, to a degree; and although seemingly I am condemning it severely, yet it is not especially objectionable except to add to the artistic incoherence. On the other hand, I cannot see that it serves any worthwhile purpose so far as "we" are concerned. And when I RMY, group, on Soldiers' and Sailors' n, Brooklyn, Frederick MacMonnies, R, group, on Military Monument, In- o Schmitz, Sculptor. look at the relief I think of what Ruskin said concerning a certain statue which he much admired, except for one thing. His objection lay against an obtrusive buckle, or some such appurtenance, which he said he could scarcely refrain from knocking off with his walking-stick. So like wise, I feel an impulse to seize this "super" by his dangling foot and slide him gently off into oblivion or else say to him, as sternly as I can: "Awake, awake, put on thy strength . . . shake thyself from the dust, arise." You deserve a place at Liberty's side, not at her feet. Assist her soberly to uphold the Flag, while other rejoice; for, but for your strong right arm the Flag would even now perhaps be trailing in the dust! NOTE — Regarding the presence of the "freed slave" in the Indianapolis group—the statement of the supposition which I ventured, is given as it was originally set down and spoken; but information has since come to hand which indicates that the figure of the recumbent slave was a substitution for a wounded Confederate soldier who, in the original design by Mr. Schmitz, was shown lying in the foreground while a Union soldier ministered to him. [Report of the Commissioners, 1891-92.] (Continued next week) OUR LETTER BOX Please place your age after your name in "every" letter. (Prize Letter, Series No. 8) My dear Editor: I am sending a short composition on John Brown and hope that it will be accepted. I am a little late sending it as I have been quite busy with school work. I attend Dunbar Summer School. I am going to solve the puzzles and send them in this week. John Brown, born in Tarrington, Connecticut, 1800 was executed at Charleston, Virginia, December 2, 1859 for having attempted by armed forces to liberate slaves in that state. He was a descendant of Peter Brown who came over in the Mayflower in 1620. When a boy, he chanced to see a slave boy cruelly beaten by his Master and he then and there vowed (so he says) "eternal war with slavery." In 1848 he purchased a farm in North Elba, New York but spent a great deal of his time in siding runa- way slaves to get to Canada. He went out to Oswatomie, Kansas in 1855 to take part in making that territory a free state, and also, he says, to strike at slavery. Brown's party declared that they perpetrated the Pottawatomie Massacre in return for the assassination of five Free-state-men by the opposite party. OLEVIA MORRIS (Age ?) John Brown (Prize Letter, Series No. 8) Dear Editor: Usually when a war breaks out, it is like a smouldering fire. Event after event happening; each worse than the other until the fire blazes into action. So at this time of John Brown's activities the North and South were very bitter against each other on account of the Dred Scot Decision. The event known as John Brown's raid made matters worse. John Brown in 1855 went to Kansas in order to vote and if needed to fight against slavery in that territory. He had a son killed in a pro-slavery conflict which embittered him deeper against the South. After the agitation in Kansas was settled, John Brown traveled through the Eastern states speaking against slavery, and trying to get the slaves to rise against their masters. He became so incensed that with 17 white men and five colored on the night of October 10, 1859 he made a raid on the town of Harper's Ferry, in West Virginia. He captured the arsenal and forty or fifty of the principle inhabitants were made prisoners. He held the town for a few hours but finally a small force of United States soldiers captured him. They tried him for treason and murder and convicted him. Brown was hanged on December 2, 1859. John Brown gave slavery its death wound, and his immortal name will always be pronounced with reverence by our people. LOUISE MOSS (14) The Girl and the Bird Dear Edtior: Once upon a time there was a girl who seemed to be about thirteen years old. Though very small for her age she was very smart. She often sat at the window either reading or sewing. She was very fond of birds and always longed for a robin red breast. One bright summer day, while she was sitting at the window, she noticed a group of robins flitting about the yard. All of a sudden she heard a queer noise. Glancing up, what confronted her but one of the robins which she had seen in the yard. She held out her hand to the bird and after a bit of fluttering around he finally perched himself on her hand. For a short time she smoothed his feathers, fed and played with him. Then she let him go. Robin red breast flew and flew away across to the other side of the lake, he never came back again. The Girl and the Bird (Prize Letter, Series No. 9) Dear Editor: While looking at the picture of a girl and a bird in the Washington Tribune, this story suggested itself to me: One day while the little girl was in her room looking out of the window, she saw a little young bird out of its mother's nest. The little bird was not old enough to care for itself, so she went out and picked the bird up and set it on her hand and patted its soft feathers. She continued to pet her young feathered friend, until she made it feel that she was its friend. She then carried it in to her room and gave it something to eat and to drink. The bird soon became dissatisfied and wanted to go out dors to find its mother. It was not a house bird so it could not be contented in a cage or in the house Finally, a larger bird came to the window; and the little bird seemed to recognize her as its mother. It was then turned loose. The mother bird and the little one seemed perfectly satisfied together. So you see this little girl by her kind acts saved the bird's life. PAUL MAGOWAN (?)

Answer: Bounty Jumpers was a name given to those men who, during the Civil War enlisted in the Union army in order to secure the bounty which the government was paying and then deserted in order to enlist in another locality and receive another bounty. Stringent measures were taken by the government to put an end to this practice, but without complete success. Don't say "nigger." EDITOR'S CHAT There is nothing a white man, yellow man, brown man, or red man can do that a black man cannot do. There are certain things which conditions and circumstances and racial traditions have forced them or caused them to learn to do which are not necessary for black men to do. Were black men instructed to do these things they could do them and would do them as nearly perfect as it would be possible to do them. Black men can do some things which are racial which other races of men cannot do unless they are instructed in them. When men of one race gather in gangs, or crowds, or mobs and assault a smaller gathering of men of another race they show their inferior physical ability. When men of one race make unfair law for that part of its citizenry which is in the minority, that race shows its firmly implanted trait of dishonesty. When mob violence and unfair law making become a national usage it shows that the race which indulges in these usages, or which tolerates and sanctions them are inclined to be inferior mentally to all other races on the face of the earth. Oh, little children of this race of ours, be not discouraged. We are as good as the best of God's created. We are far better than many who claim to be our superiors. Remember that this superiority is a claim made by our so-called superiors, by themselves and for themselves. Let us make a standard for ourselves, and to that standard be true. A standard that is so noble and grand that those within the race who scorn the name "Negro" will be forced to be proud of it; that those without the race will be forced to pay homage to us. No race can long survive if its very constitution, and its institutions of justice are based and builted upon forces of gab and violence. Black men can do anything other races of men can do or have done. We can even build empires—or we can make of present empires better empires. We can do things—and futurity will find the children of your children's children not mere diggers in the ditch but a race to whom the nations of the world will pay tribute.

After leaving the HOWARD THEATRE it proceeds immediately to Broadway where it is scheduled for a long run at one of the leading houses at prices ranging from $2 to $5 per seat. A $200,000 PRODUCTION WONDERFUL SCENERY GORGEOUS COSTUMES Making its initial bow to the business world at 2033 K Street, northwest, about two years ago, the "Brooks's Old Log Cabin Sweets" candy factory made remarkable progress. Finding a big opportunity in making ice cream, Mr. Brooks installed a small ice cream plant last year. Finding his patronage increasing so rapidly he decided to open a branch store for the distribution of both candy and ice cream. Last week at 1938 9th Street, northwest the branch store was opened. This places the products of the "Old Log Cabin Sweets" at the service of the people in the upper northwest section. R. A. Brooks had fifteen years experience in the candy and ice cream making before he decided to open a place for himself. His formulas are excellent and everyone who has purchased either the candy or the cream, state that it really is the best they have ever tasted. Both the candy and cream are made from the purest products and the ice cream has that rich creamy taste which seems to linger and satisfy. In opening the new store on 9th street, Mr. Brooks has spared no pains in making this an attractive place in which to be served. Although a new store, the place has been repapered in rich colors, and floor lights with varigated shades have been placed at advantageous points over the room. Mr. Brooks is catering only to the private trade with his ice cream and it is becoming the fashion that when a party is given, to have "Old Log Cabin Sweets" to make the ice cream. "Once served, always in demand" is the thought behind the making of the cream. As a result the demand is constantly increasing and is a strong factor in proving the ability of the race to produce the best on the market. The retail price of the ice cream is another factor which figures in the results. Ice cream at other places sell for 60 cents a quart. "Old Log Cabin Sweets" sells for 65 a quart and there is no comparison as to quality and taste. This same quality of cream produced by others sells for a dollar a quart. Order "The Old Log 50 Mr. Henry Burwell passed away, at his late residence after a long illness. His wife Emma Burwell survives him. He was the father of Dr. A. C.
