Finley nd Exalted Acclamation J. FINLEY WILSON HOWARD HOLDS UNIQUE PLACE IN RACE PROGRESS The 12,000,000 colored people of the United States need college trained and professional leaders. Nearly every profession is pathetically undermanned. These leaders must be trained in their own schools. Howard University is strategically located and undertakes the place of leadership in giving direction to these proper aspirations of the Negro people. Founded by Gen. O. O. Howard in the days of reconstruction Howard University for over half a century has supplied the colored race with leaders in every profession. The fifty-fifth annual session begins October 10. The registration period for the new term will be Friday and Saturday, September 28 and 29. Discontinue Secondary Schools Howard in 1919, by vote of its board of trustees, discontinued all secondary schools. A junior college, consisting of the first two years of the college course was established with Prof. Kelly Miller as dean. The courses in the junior college are made preliminary to entrance to the schools of liberal arts, education, applied sciences, commerce and finance, religion, medicine, music and law. The adoption of the quarter system was another step in its progressive policy. This system intensifies the work and raises the standard of scholarship. Students may enter at the beginning of any quarter and receive ful credit toward their degree. Howard has provided opportunity for those who are not privileged to attend its day sessions by the establishments of evening classes of full college grade, yielding the usual credit towards academic degrees. Class A Rating Given With the larger problems of reorganization has gone the more detailed work on the curriculum. Recently the work of the School of Liberal Arts has been appraised by a commission representing th Association of Colleges and Secondary (Continued on page 6) WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1923 Expectant Mother Had Dizzy Spell Was in Columbia Hospital Only Four Hours Before Tragedy Occurred Mrs. Josephine Evans, an expectant mother, fell from the fourth story window at Columbia Hospital on M street, last Saturday night, receiving injuries which resulted in her death a short time afterwards. Coroner Newitt deemed an inquest unnecessary and issued a certificate of death. Mrs. Evans, who lived at Nauck Station, Va., upon becoming seriously ill Saturday was carried to Columbia Hospital four hours before she met her untimely death. Upon arriving at the hospital she was assigned to a room on the fourth door. Apparently she was normal, and no special watch was paced over her. While the nurse was out, Mrs. Evans, apparently to get fresh air or just to look out, went to the window. While at the window it is believed that a fainting cause caused by eclampsia or toxemic poisoning, seized her and in the moment of dizziness, she became unbalanced and fell to her death. Mrs. Evans was twenty-three years old, she gave the hospital authorities the address of a relative at 2021 35th street. After the body had been examined by Coroner Nevitt it was turned over to her husband for burial. TO ASK CONGRESS FOR $500,000 FOR MEDICAL SCHOOL TO ASK CONGRESS FOR $500,000 FOR MEDICAL SCHOOL An appropriation of $500,000 to construct and equip an addition to the medical and dental school at Howard University, the only college in the country with one exception devoted exclusively to the education of colored physicians and dentists are graduated, will be requested of Congress at its coming session by Secretary of the Interior Work. This sum has already been included in the estimates of the appropriations for the Department of the Interior for the coming fiscal year of 1925, it was stated by Secretary Work last week, and is due to the insufficient facilities for the education of members of the colored race in the medical and dental professions existing throughout the United States. At the present time the medical school of Howard University is being conducted in a small building. The proposed appropriation, if passed by Congress, will be used to build a large structure that will practically double the capacity providing additional laboratories and equipment as well as accommodating a 100 per cent increase in the number of students. Through a $500,000 endowment raised by public subscription and a gift from the General Education Board of New York, sufficient funds have been secured by Howard University to provide for the additional instructors for Rev.

Brooks, pastor of Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, with his wife and daughter, Julia E. Brooks returned to Washington last Tuesday night, August 20, after an extensive trip through Europe, which carried them to Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Holland and France. This trip was given Rev. Brooks by his congregation which he has served faithfully for over forty consecutive years. Rev. Brooks and his family left Washington early in July for New York City where they boarded the steamer "Drottingholm" for Gothenburg, Sweden. Rev. Brooks in describing his trip to the Tribune reporter said he had the best accommodations obtainable, with no signs of race prejudice at all. He remained in Gothenburg for one day; the party then left via the Gotta Canal route for Stockholm. Arriving in Stockholm, Rev. Brooks secured quarters in the Contenential Hotel, one of the largest hotels there, where he remained throughout his stay. While in Stockholm, Rev. Brooks attended the Baptist World's Alliance MORE NEGROES ON INTER-RACIAL COMMISSION Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 29—(Special): Condemnation of recent threats against Tuskegee Institute and the appointment of a committee to look further into that situation, reports of a wide range of activities in the interest of better conditions and better race relations, the adoption of vigorous resolutions against lynching and a pledge to keep up the fight till this great evil is eradicated, and the addition of a number of leading colored men and women to its membership were among the most important features of the annual meeting of the Commission on Inter-Racial Cooperation, which was held in Asheville, N. C., recently. A significant feature of the meeting was the presence of official representatives of the organized women of the Methodist, Baptist, Episcopal, Presbyterian, Christian and Congregational churches. They all reported that their several organizations, with an aggregate membership of hundreds of thousands, were studying the question of race relations and some of them already were systematically at work in this field. Many club women also have been enlisted. A leading feature of the work of the woman's section is a determined and unremitting warfare on lynching.

BROWN DIES SUDDENLY IN ATLANTIC CITY Harry Lester Brown, well known citizen of this city, residing at 1909 18th Street, died suddenly in Atlantic City, N. J., last Thursday, August 23. He had a slight illness on Sunday last in Atlantic City at which time he was taken to the hospital where medical aid was administered. His condition was not thought alarming until 5 a.m. Thursday when he was taken with a cerebral hemorrhage and died three hours later. His sudden death is not only a great loss to his wife, mother and relatives but is a great shock to his host of friends. Rev. Dixon of the Beulah Baptist Church officiates at the funeral services Sunday, James T. Beason having charge of the music. The floral tributes and many expressions of sympathy received by the family from friends in and out of town were evidences of the high esteen in which he was held by all who knew him. Mr. Brown was born in Boston, Massachusetts, February 27, 1888. He was christened in the Emanuel Church of Boston and was very faithful to it. He attended the Sherwin Grammar School, also the Boys' English High School, graduating from both with high honors. He went to work for the Plankett Chemical Company of Chicago taking a minor position, then gradually worked his way up to salesman, de-ov (Continued on page 8) Washington's Best Advertising Medium. Hospital DOCTORS ce Leaders Director Hines Appears Firm For White Head All Eyes Turned to St. Louis Where Doctors Are Convening All eyes are turned toward St. Louis, Mo., this week where the Tuskegee Hospital fight has shifted temporarily. The National Medical Association is now in session in that city and it is now up to the doctors assembled there to endorse the work of the special committee that recently told President Coolidge and Director Hines that they would not accept anything less than a complete Negro personnel from top to bottom. This committee has recommended to the Veterans Bureau a sufficient number of Negroes for the bureau to select a complete personnel from. However, Director Hines, who in June was willing and real to appoint Negroes to the administrative offices, now is not willing and ready to appoint Negroes to these positions. His explanation that the time was not yet ripe for such appointments, did not in any way satisfy the doctors committee, composed of Dr. M. O. Dumas; Dr. George E. Cannon and Dr. J. O. Plummer, who called on him. This committee will report to the national body what it has done, then it will be up to the convention to endorse its work and continue it or to appoint another committee. As practically all the doctors who have been certified to go to the hospital at Tuskegee are now in St. Louis, nothing new could be learned from that source as to whether they will go or not. However, Director Hines is remaining firm in his previous statement that he will not appoint Negroes to the three administrative positions. Because of the fight made on Col. Stanley, the present head of the hospital, who hails from Greenville, Ala., and who is directly or indirectly responsible for all the trouble at the hospital, it is claimed Director Hines has him slated for removal. If Stanley is removed and another white man appointed in his place, it will mean a defeat of the Negroes and will be a catastrophe to the entire race. If Stanley is not removed and along with him the entire staff of white doctors, the Negroes will without a doubt, carry out their threatened boycott against the hospital. Plans however, for future activities in the bitter fight for a complete Negro personnel, must and will be laid at St. Louis this week. If the present committee is retained and its policies endorsed, it will give the Negro the much needed strength to carry the fight on. There is little doubt that Director Hines has some one representing him in St. Louis so he can get a full report on all that happens. If the N. M. A. stands firm behind its committees and its program, it will mean that Director Hines will be forced to a show down in the very near future. "We want an entire Negro personnel or nothing" is now being re-echoed all over the country by Negroes of every cast.

ALEXANDRIA, VA., NEWS Joseph Haskins, an old citizen of Alexandria, died at the home of Lucien Gaines, 531 South St. Asaph Street on Wednesday night. Mr. Haskins for a number of years was in the employ of the family of Smoot. For over seventeen years he has been living in Philadelphia. For the last two years he had been ailing. His age and illness caused him to return to Alexandria, he made his residence with Mr. and Mrs. Lucien Gaines. The deceased was a church worker at Roberts' Chapel for a number of years. His funeral took place from that church Friday at 2 o'clock. Certain local stores have formed themselves into what is called "The Boosters' Club." For each one dollar purchase made at these stores, coupons are given. The writer has noticed several purchases made by persons, both white and colored, but the merchants did not give them the coupons which the patrons were entitled to. It is to your advantage to notice whether you are buying from a member of "The Boosters' Club," and if you are, for every dollar you spend ask for a coupon. Several valuable prizes are offered, and because you are entitled to a chance in the disposition of them you should demand your coupons.

WALTER BROOKS RETURNS FROM EUROPE (Continued from page 1) theran Evangelical Church. Negroes appeared on many of the programs. Addresses were made in nearly every European tongue. Among the Negro delegates from America who spoke were Dr. Parrish Louisville, Ky.; Dr. Wilson of Dallas Tex.; and Dr. Brown, President of the Lott Cary Convention. At one of the overflow meetings of the Young Peoples Council, Dr. Walter H. Brooks spoke as did also the son of Dr. Parrish. Dr. Brooks address was interpreted by a Swedish minister. Rev. Brooks also made several other speeches during the convention. Rev. A. A. Graham and Rev. E. E. Ricks, together with some of the ministers' wives, formed a singing band and rendered plantation and spiritual melodies which were well received. A lasting impression was made on the American Negroes attending the convention so Rev. Brooks reports, because of the entire absence of race prejudice among the European delegates. It was a comon sight, he said, to see groups of European women sitting at the feet of Negro ministers having their pictures taken. Leaving Stockholm, Rev. Brooks, with his family, started their trip to Capital Store AUTHORI uly 9, 1923, bec Paris. His first stop was at Hamburg, Germany. His stay in Hamburg was cut short because of the persistent rumors that an uprising was imminent. From Hamburg he went to Osnabruk and then to Amsterdam, Holland. In Amsterdam, Rev. Brooks took several sight-seeing trips before resuming his trip to Paris. Arriving in Paris, Rev. Brooks was the guest of his daughter who lives there, Mrs. Antoinette A. Mitchell. He remained in Paris thirteen days, the time being spent in sight-seeing to the many historical places. Leaving Paris, Rev. Brooks went to Cherbourg where he boarded the ship "Pittsburgh" for America, arriving in New York City Tuesday, August 20. Rev. Brooks stated that during the whole trip he never had any trouble and received the best of accommodation everywhere he went. His wife and daughter greatly enjoyed the trip and they had many wonderful experiences. Rev. Brooks expects to give a full account of the entire trip to the members of his church at an early date. HIGH SCHOOL POINTERS HIGH SCHOOL POINTERS Editor's Note: The importance of giving a child a good education is one that should be given serious consideration. As our schools will soon be opening, The Tribune is this week beginning a series of articles, which we hope will aid parents in getting their children properly started in schools. Among the quasi unfortunate things which have come to High Schools as a result of their effort to take on college methods and functions is the "elective system." Although the student who enters college, speaking generally, is four years older, has four years more maturity and growth than the beginning High School pupil, this college student is not always able to choose from the great mass of material which the program spreads before him, the subjects which will be best aid to him in making of himself a well rounded individual in after life. How much less then is the boy or girl just out of grammar school able to say what will be the most profitable course for him in High School! In this day when superficiality seems to be pervading every walk of life it is not strange that the youth of fourteen or so gets the idea that he must "get through" the High School by hook or crook as quickly and as easily as possible. As a result many a student graduates from High School saying that if he had it to do over again he would take different courses. Whether he enters college or some practical walk of life he too often realizes that his efforts to get "snap subjects" and "easy teachers" have gotten him through without him having much power to do anything well. To be sure the elective system for High Schools presupposes some guiding hand for the inexperienced boy or girl. In our own system here in Washington the Grammar School teacher often tries to offer this guidance; but forced, as she often is, to promote those whom she herself realizes are almost too weak for High School work, she frequently says "you would do better to take Spanish because it is easy," etc. There was a day among us when the child had to rely entirely upon his teachers for guidance in his studies; but that day has gone by. The parents of nearly all of our High School pupils have at least a Grammar School education. Many are college graduates and no inconsiderable numbers are teachers or engaged in the practice of other professions. Why do these intelligent parents not stop long enough to set some kind of goal for their children and map out the way toward it? Why, with all their knowledge of the difficulties to be met and overcome in life, will they allow their children to move along the line of least resistance and thereby fail to develop that power to overcome which increases in the proportion in which the student masters hard things in school? The Dunbar High School, our great Academic Institution offers such a variety of courses and subjects that it is not difficult to make out programs fitted to temperaments and abilities, however peculiar, and yet not miss the real aim of a High School education: i.e. the development of initiative and power and will to do things in life. In my next talk, I hope to say some things in detail about our High School courses of study which may point the way to those parents and pupils who are interested.

This will give the first group fully three weeks to prepare for the opening game on October 6 against A. and T. College. Jack Nurse has been named first assistant to Head-coach Watson. For the past four seasons Nurse has been the mainstay of the Howard line. Former Coach Morrison labels Nurse as one of the greatest linesmen that ever dented a gridiron. He has played guard, tackle and end with equal success. The intersectional clashes with Morehouse College of Atlanta, Ga., and Wilberforce University of Ohio will be played at the American League park on October 26 and November 2, respectively. These games have been moved back a day and will be played on Friday afternoons, in as much as the Saturday fall dates at the park are filled. One illustrious Black individual of the foreign sporting world has just arrived and another is enroute, both hoping to show their wares before the American public. One hails from France, the other from England. H. F. V, Edward, the peer of all sprinters in England, seeking new worlds to conquer, has landed here and expects to get his initial test at the Wilco A. A. events at the Yankee stadium, New York City on September 8, opposing the cream of the country's colored and white, 100 and 220-yard dashmen. Edward is best remembered by Americans for his sterling running at the Olympic games. A bad start, it is claimed, robbed him of winning the century dash at the last international events. His performances across the pond stamp him as a sprinter of championship caliber. Battling Siki, regarded in every other country except the United States as the light-heavyweiht champion of the world, is scheduled to arrive within the next few days. Before leaving France he was quoted as saying he would challenge the winner of the Dempsey-Firpo match. Whether Siki has any definite program outlined to follow during his stay here is unknown but it is a conclusive fact that he has no chance to meet either the challenger or Argentinia. Neither will the Sengalese be matched with any of the white light-heavyweights and most assuredly, not McTigue, the man he met and was robbed of victory in Dublin on St. Patrick's Day. Therefore, it looks like either Kid Norfolk or Jack Johnson will be Siki's first and probably only engagements while here. Unfavorable press comments are responsible for the present stigma that may make Siki's trip very unpleasant. The Frenchman is heralded as a notorious drinker and is alleged to run rampage when under the influence of liquor. The truthfulness of these reports is questionable yet they have had sufficient bearing to list Siki, an undesirable. It is quite likely that he will be treated as such during his stay here. The attitude of white Americans toward both of these foreign invaders will be carefully noted.

U. championships ot be held at Chicago on August 31, and September 1 will bring together the foremost rivals in the country, Ned Gourdin and Dehart Hubbard. The latter is picked to win because of the steady improvement he has shown. Gourdin has been in retirement since last year. With Butler on the mound the Imperials defeated the St. Cyprian preps in a six inning affair by score, 4 to 3. BROOKLAND GIANTS WIN The Brookland Giants journeyed to Stewartown and defeated the latter club, 13 to 2. Fielding of Lomax and the pitching of Tucker featured for the winners. The Brookland Giants will play the Maryland White Sox in Lakeland on Labor Day. ST. PAUL RECALLS TAYLOR Lawrenceville, Va.—Hubert A. Taylor, Physical Director of the Newport News "Y" will return to St. Paul School on September 10, as assistant football coach and assistant director of gymnastics. He will also supervise the track and field activities. Mr. Taylor is an alumnus of St. Paul, Class '16, and he has done special work in physical education at Springfield College. He coached St. Paul's successful football team in 1920. He has been physical director of the "Y" for the past several years, and has made phenomenal success in that capacity. He is an athlete well-known to the collegiate world, and a baseball, football and track official of great magnitude, efficiency, and experience. His name appears in the archives of St. Paul's renown quarterbacks. NORFOLK STOPS JACKSON Baltimore, August 25—The bout between Kid Norfolk, Negro light-heavyweight, and Tut Jackson Negro heavyweight of Washington Court House Ohio, was stopped in the third round last night to save Jackson further punishment. Jackson was floored four times in the second round and twice in the third. Norfolk weighed 184; Jackson 194. WILLS TO BARNSTORM Harry Wills is getting ready to tour the country on a barnstorming trip and gather in some of the money he let lie idle for more than a year. The "brown panther" is booked for over fifteen weeks and the receipts will run wild. So far the offers touch the $150,000 mark, which isn't so bad when you consider it slowly. ST.

Miller and Aubrey Lyle and the many pretty girls of the "Runnin' Wild" repertoire, Ben Taylor and his Potomacs fairly outdid themselves at the American League park, Sunday, and easily defeated the Norfolk Stars in a well played contest, 6 to 1. Taylor started his warriors off and won the admiration of the fair ones in the third with a crashing triple to the extreme right corner of the field and crossed the pan when Blair fumbled the relay. The visitors tied the score on an infield hit by Arthurs coupled with Clarke's wild throw to catch him napping and a sacrifice fly. The locals scored four runs in the sixth on hits by Eggleton, Washington, Owens, Spike and Goodrich's sacrifice. Washington lined out a triple in the seventh and came home on a wild pitch and ended the scoring for the day. Clarke was in wonderful form letting the visitors down with three scattered bingles.

In the backfield Coach Douglas has Captain Parker, a plunging line bucker; Walker, a seasoned quarterback; Lawyer Williams, All-American quarterback and a consistent ground gainer; "Speedy" Collins, an experienced back, and "Shorty" Beverley, the elusive halfback. On the end he is depending on Junius Williams and Jess Byrd. "Tom" Burrell will handle the destinies of center, while the guard positions will fall to "Mighty" Blackwell and All-American Miller. Pierce, the 219-pound giant, will doubtless be assigned to left tackle, and "Quiet" Spady will probably be awarded the right tackle berth. Coach Douglas will develop valuable substitutes from an unprecedented flock of second string men.

Clapp, a writer on business conditions for the Hearst Syndicate, told the following story last week of how the Negro workers are making good in northern factories: There is an extraordinary demonstration of the efficiency of Negro labor to be observed in one of the big railroad car shops in New Jersey. When the shopmen's strike came, the road hired hundred of Negro riveters who had worked for the Submarine Boat and other New York Bay shipbuilding plants. It was figured that if they could rivet plates to be water-tight, they probably could rivet them to be coal-tight. These are huge, Southern Negroes stronger and more careful than the Poles and Slavs whom they displaced They draw bars and beams as if they were playthings, and handle the steam hammers with great skill. One of the Negroes, who is a preacher in Brooklyn as well as shop-worker, is one of the representatives of the men on the railroad's shop union committee. According to the superintendent of the shop, 400 of these colored laborers are turning out the work that used to be done by 600 of the former employees. Eastern League EASTERN LEAGUE STANDING* W. L.

Piedmonts-Teddy Bears (postponed) Twilight Flashes The Teddy Bears and Piedmonts battle in the final game of the league season Sunday at 3:30 o'clock on diamond eight, Monument Lot. A victory for the Teddy Bears will give them clear title to second place while a win for the Piedmonts will eliminate any doubt of their superiority over local independent nines. The Buffaloes began the season in April by losing to the Asburys the weakest club of the league and closed the season Sunday with a clear cut victory over the LeDroit Tigers, regarded in the early season as a sure pennant winner. The Buffaloes promise to be up with the leaders the entire trip next year. The Brooklyn Giants are also building for next year and things look unusually bright. At the close of the season the Piedmonts and Buffalooes will get down to work on the gridiron. Both of these clubs have promising football material.

For Sale at All Newsstands, 5¢ per copy Advertising Rates Furnished on Request SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1923 COOLIDGE APPEALS FOR SUPPORT OF THE CONSTITUTION President Coolidge struck a significant note, in his letter to the Southern Newspaper Publishers, in the following paragraph: “Every newspaper can be very helpful in its support of the government, whether it be state or national. Fundamentally, this means always making the authority of the law supreme. It means undivided allegiance to the Constitution and unhesitating obedi- ence to legislative action made in accordance with its provisions.” This letter was sent to the proper persons; for, among the factors moulding public opinion, the Southern press ‘is potent. It is from the South that race prejudice has spread over this country. It was in the South that lawlessness first made its ap- pearance by mobbing, lynching and burning men and women. It was the Southerners who first trampled the Constitution under foot, as a “scrap of paper,” and disfranchised the most loyal citi- zens in the country. It was in the South that “moonshine” and “bootlegging” were coined into our language and the foundation | for the breaking of the 18th amendment was laid. In all of this cutlawry and fomenting of racial hatred and lack, of. respect for | human rights, human life and the law, the Southern Press has| been the leading factor. The South has not given and is not giving “undivided allegiance to the Constitution” nor “unhesita- ting obedience to legislative action,” nor have the Southern Pub-| lishers endeavored to make “the authority of the law supreme.” | They asked what they could do to best serve the federal govern- ment and the President told them in unmistakable terms. Will they heed the President's appeal? Will the President, as Chief | Executive, enforce their obedience? 1 L saaen sas | THE WEEKLY WHISPER j The latest addition to journalism of the Nation’s Capital, is that of “The Weekly Whisper” which made its appearance August 18th. It is a sixteen-page tabloid, “‘versatile, illustrated weekly.” Fletcher Jordan, as president of the company, heads the staff. J. H. Pitts is managing editor. J. B. Davidson, city editor. Paul 4.

We welcome “The Weekly Whisper” to our journalistic circle, THE N. A. A. C. P, IN KANSAS CITY The National Association for the Advancement of Colored people is holding its 14th annual conference in Kansas City, Mo., this week, having convened Wednesday. A significant matter worthy of notice is the fact that Washing- ton, having the largest membership of all the branches in the country, did not send a delegate. The executive secretary is in Atlantic City, on a two weeks’ vacation. The meeting in Newark last year had the smallest attendance of any of the annual conferences, and the fact that Washington, the largest branch, is not represented at Kansas City, this year, does not laok encouraging. This is a clear demonstration of the fact that the N. A. A. C. P., is not a democratic and representative organization. Its egotistic and autocratic domination has ham- pered the service that it is supposed to render the race. A nation- al racial organization must represent and serve the race.

The dental college has also-been registered with the Board of Regents of New York. ‘The administration has in the past three years set about getting into sympathetic touch with every out- standing Negro scholar who might be available for the work of the univer- sity, and the faculty has been strengthened by the addition of sever- al men and women, A number have spent a year on leave in study in’the universities of the North and West. One of the first research fellowships granted by the National Research Council was given to Dr. E. E. Just, a professor of Howard University, Professional Schools Stand High The professional schools offer un- equaled advantages. The . Howard School of Medicine is rated as a class A institution by the American Medi- cal Association. Its faculty is com- posed of specialists and able physi- cians, The Freedmen’s Hospital, erect- ed by the Federal Government at a cost of $600,000 is closely allied with the school of medicine. Degrees are offered in the medical, dental and pharmaceutical colleges. The city af. fords special facilities for the study of medicine. There are libraries open to Howard students. The Army Med- ieal Museum is the finest of its kind in the world. In 1920 the general education board of New York city, after.a thorough inspection of the school of medicine, made a conditional gift of $250,000 provided a like sum should be raised by the university within a given time. Howard University has met the PAGE SIx challenge. The co-operation the uni-| versity has had from its alumni and fiends in its efforts to secure. this gift is evidence of the large place Howard occupies in the heart of the colored people of the United States. The success of the campaign makes available an endowment of $500,000 for the School of Medicine, and ena- bles it to maintain its standing as a class A medical school. Money is Needed With the completion of this cam- paign the attention of those interested in the university is being directed to its growing needs in other directions, Of these none is more important than increasing the present productive gen- eral endowment fund of the university of $521,327.21 to at least $2,000,000, A productive endowment fund of such an amount is greatly needed to assist the university in its effort to provide adequate salaries for its fa- culty. In addition to the $197,500 author- ized by the last Congress for a gym- nasium, armory, and athletic field, other dormitories for men and women must be provided. Adequate build- ings must also be erected for the Schools of Medicine, Law, and Reli- gion.

Adams 47 SSS SSS Fie AS dlink “wane = ueaclo Mees morse Washington is favoréd this season with the presence of a distinguished vocalist on an extended visit in the person of Mr. Henry A. Ethridge, dramatic tenor, of Chicago. One is immediately impressed on meeting him personally, «with his con- genial manner, fluent conversation, scholarly musical attainment, and wide acquaintance of celebrities in the musical world. We welcome him here among the host of interesting musicians. Mr. Ethridge is a graduate of North- western University and also studied with Dr. Stiller. He is a charter member of the National Association ‘of Negro Musicians, and has exten- sively toured in concert recital in the East, South, West and western Cana- da presenting programs of operatic ‘excerpts and songs in English, French and Italian. Julius Rosenwald, member of Sears- Roebuck Company, had occasion to hear Mr. Ethridge at a Flag Day ex- ereise in Chicago sometime since and was so delighted with his voice that he took steps to have him benefit thra the “Julius Mack Fund” and he was the first of color ever given the bene- fit of this fund. Richard D. Stillet, Mus.B., says of him: “The operatic. selections were enjoyable and praise. meriting. His voice is one of unusual natural love- liness, lucious and warm in quality and of extended range, His singing of the aria from ‘L Pagliacci” was ad- mirable in style and vocally excellent and in the Romanza, ‘Non E Ver’ fine Jramatie sense was paired with tonal color and true beauty and in his songs the diction was clear and his intelli- gent handling of the text was per-, haps nowhere better proven than in Burleigh’s ‘Young Warrior,’ which he, iid in admirable style.” We now pay compliment, not to a musician, but to a public spirited citi- zen of philanthropic musical tenden- cies whom we believe worthy and de- serving of good words, : Mrs. Milton A. Francis has done as much, or more, as any other one citizen to keep the music fires burning in the hearts of the people by her generous spirit in fostering such mon- ster inusical affairs as the brilliant re- citals held at the Belasco and Lincoln theatres (Mr. J.

At the commencement exereises in June 1922, seventeen stu- ‘dents were awarded commissions in the United States Army as second lieuteriants by Assistant Secretary of ‘War J.

Francis mendously stieeessful, more so possi- bly than any other of recent years, stamps this lady as a diplomatically Ishrewd business woman of no mean ‘proportion. And too, the-spirit which she manifests in promoting public mu- sicales serves to stimulate public taste ‘towards the*hearing which is a good pointer to many would-be-managers hereabouts, |. Mrs. Francis was born in Washing- ‘ton, D. C,, attended and taught in the Public Schools. She waz an active bes as Captain in the “Drive” with Miss Shadd for the Y. W. C.

Sumner Wormley and others generously con- tributed a few years since. Thus her spirit’ of chérity in things musical is indeed broad and even extends beyond that of mengl¥ art.

The weak of this country have longed. for such an official of the na- tional government, particularly a President, with that conviction and the courage to carry it out. They have suffered untold indignities, os- tracfsm, discrimination and even dis- franchisement of their inalienable rights of suffrage, because of the fact that former executives haye not had the courage to uphold fully their oaths to maintain and protect the whole Constitution of the United States. The impression has gone out that you, as. President of all. the pedple, have the courage of your con vietions, and if the above quotation is yet your conviction, the “weak” citi- zens of your country may expect the President to “Do the day’s work.” There will come “objections” Mr. President, when you attempt to “do the day’s work” in the enforcement of the 14th and 19th amendments, partie- ularly in the Southern States, where ten millions of the “weak” cit- izens of this country are not permitted to cast their ballots even in national elections. Will you, Mr. President, surrender to the “objections” as did your predecessors; or, may the ‘weak? take courage that in you they have a courageous President who will not shrink from doing “the day’s work” in enforcing these two amendemtns as well as the 18th. There will come ‘objections” Mr. President, when you attempt to “do the day’s work” in enforeing the law regarding the enforced enslavement of “the weak” in the peonage camps and farms of the South, such as was re- cently uncovered in the ease of young Talbert in Florida. ‘The lumber camps, the large farms and turpentine camps of the South are reported to be worked by forcing the “weak” into the places and foreibly holding them there to “do the day’s work” with very meagre, if any returns for the same. The Attorney General has a number of such eases on file but the fact remains that “the weak” are yet being exploited by the thousands and their government apparently is not concerned. And this brings us to another quo- tation attributed to you: “Let the laws proclaim to the humblest citizen, per- forming the most menial task, the rec- ognition of his manhood, the recogni- tion that all men are peers, the hum: blest swith the most exalted, the ree- ognition that all work is glorified.” Mr. President, the carrying out of that recognition of the law and of ‘the manhood of these millions of weak people’ and the doing of the day’s work in’ their behalf would exalt the ‘President"of these “United States as the greatest humanitarian sinve Christ walked among men. May we hope for your “recognition” of the manhood of the humblest citizen and the enforee- ment the Constitution in “his behalf? In recognizing the manhood of the humblest citizen and doing the day's work, Mr. President, you will find that all of the railroads of the South discriminate against 15,000,000 Negro citizens of America and foree them into humiliation by compelling them to ride in jim crow cars, by forcing them into discriminated waiting rooms at railway stations. And this posi- tion by the railroads is sustained by the United States Government, of which you are the chief executive. This government has failed to recog- nize the manhood rights of 15,000,000 of its most loyal citizens. May we expect you to take steps to right these wrongs? In doing the day’s work, last Feb- ruary you dedicated the Veterans’ Hospital at Tuskegee, Ala, Built ex- pressly for Negro veterans, with the tacit understanding that it would be manned by a Negro personnel. How- ever, someone has “objected” to the government taking care of its own ill and maimed veterans in its own building, on its own ground, by a personnel of the race of the patients therein. And this great government has failed to “do the day’s work,” because of the un-American objec- tion of two or three persons. May we expect the President to “recognize the manhood rights” of the Negro in this case and see that simple justice ment will keep faith with its humble citizens? In doing the’ day's: work pertaining to the nation’s Capital, Mr. President, you will find rank discrimination run- ning rampant here, fostered and en- forced by officers under your juris- diction. Will one-fourth of Wash- ington’s population continue to suf- fer humiliation and discrimination in public buildings and on public grounds of their government under your ad- ministration? THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE ‘TRAINED NURSE WEDS _ Announcement. was recently made of the marriage of Mrs. Mamie Proc- ‘tor of 424 Q street to Sullivan Jack. ‘son of Richmond, Va,, which took ‘place June 27th.

POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT Bladensburg, Md., Saturday, Sept. 1, 1923 ee ee Orage roe te In May, 1922, the citizens of the ‘town of Bladensburg, Maryland, elec- ted Mr. Thomas H, Wildman as Town Commissioner. Mr. Wildman was born and reared in Prince Georges County, and a tax payer of the coun- ty. As Commissioner, he has paid a signal honor to a man of our race in the person of Mr, Day. Dock, who was named by him as his Chief Bailiff Mr. Wildman has lived in Dist. No. 2 for forty years, except during a pe- riod of four months during which time he was employed zs a Secret Service agent for Uncle Sam. Some two years or more Mr. Wild- man, being a strong and Progressive Republican leader in his district, also in the county, was considered as an available candidate for Sheriff of Prince George s County, but some of his enemies raised the question about (gee cme ae \= BETS jouat “ oo ee | = & A ee! . oe [sae = ‘are a lO oF i = eo eae a Fie THOMAS H.

Mr. Wildman has had all points re- garding his eligibility, as a citizen en. titled to election, or indorsement by the people for Sheriff, made plain by an opinion of the ttorney General of the State. Mr. Wildman is now ‘Town Com- missioner of Bladensburg, Maryland, and the Chief of Police. ‘Therefore, | take this opportunity to state the sta- tus of Mr. Wildman’s case, so as, to enable the citizens of his county to decide as to whom to cast his or her vote on September 10, 1923 for Sherif of this county, CITIZEN | MMISSION (Continued from page 1) Next to the actual achievements re- ported, the most notable feature of the Smeétizig was the “high- character and standing of its personnel. . There were bishops, college presidents, mis- sion board officials, distinguished min- isters, lawyers, Y. M. C. A, secreta- ries, men of big business interests, and women prominent in church, club and social circles. Both races and every Southern state were represented in the attendance of more than fifty.

Other colored members of the Commission are Dr. R. R. Moton, Dr, Isaac Fisher, R. L. Smith and Dr. John M. Gandy. ‘A special commission was appointed to look fully into the Tuskegee situa- tion, with power to take such steps as might seem favorable to a peaceable and righteous adjustment of the ques- tions at issue. The following were named on this commission: Dr. M. Ashby Joens, Dr. W. D. Weatherford, Judge John D. Rather, Mrs, T. W. Bickett, Bishop R. E.
