BEAUTY CONTEST TO SELECT "MISS WASHINGTON" STARTS South Asks President To Stop Large Negro Migration Prominent Southwest Theatrical Man Commits Suicide JUSTICE FOR NEGRO IS PLEA OF SOUTHERN WHITE WOMAN First in Local Circulation. Vol. 3, No. 19 South A Prominer JUSTICE FOR NE OF SOUTHERN Local White Papers Refuse to Print Article Herein Published EDITOR'S NOTE—The Negro race, since the dysas of such men as John Brown, the days of such men as John Brown, William Lloyd Garrison, Elijah P. Lovejoy, Thaddeus Stevens, Wendell Phillips, General O. O. Howard and others, has suffered greatly because of the lack of genuine white friends. While there has been occasional evidence of friendship on the part of certain white people at various times, in most instances, however, this friendship had its limitations which have been very much in evidence. Apparently, judging from the sentiments expressed by the writer of the article reproduced below, the race can claim another devout friend among that rapidly diminishing group of liberal whites, who places simple justice higher than the so-called white supremacy. The writer of this article sent it to The Washington Evening Star, The Washington Times and The Washington Post and each of these papers refused to publish it. The writer is a southern white woman of high social and political standing. Her knowledge of conditions is not based on second-hand information, but has been gained by years of actual experience and contact. Her article is herewith reproduced. Quite some while ago, I called up the office of Congressman L. C. Dyer, of Missouri, hoping to secure an interview in order that I might personally see the man who introduced the Anti-Lynching Bill, and to find out from him, (being deeply interested in all psychological phenomena), just what specific conditions and circumstances combined to inspire him with the requisite degree of moral courage to enable him to frame, and present for consideration, a bill so predestined for adverse discussion, criticism, and opposition of a most venomous type. I was deeply impressed by the utterly fearless mentality of the man, and by his rugged simplicity. He should go down in the annals of history as a specimen of HE-MAN who is NOT afraid to demand JUSTICE instead of LAWLESSNESS; who, in view of indisputable statistics proving very conclusively "THE INHUMANITY OF MAN TO MAN" (AND WOMAN), is the ORIGINATOR of the most worthwhile, the MOST CREDITABLE effort ever devised in behalf of HUMANITY in general, and of the COLORED RACE in particular, in the United States of America. WHY DID CONGRESS HESITATE? I have often asked myself that question. But possibly it is just as well; for the next Congress will be the scene of a greater and stronger FIGHT than ever. And the increase of disgraceful acts of MOB VIOLENCE throughout the United States, but especially in the South, led by GEORGIA, is of such terrific proportion, as to MAKE the SPEEDY ENACTMENT of PROTECTIVE LAWS a vital necessity. Actuated by the fact that in nearly every paper I have read for a long while, there are accounts of lynchings, and recently, of the cowardly shooting-to-death of a hand-cuffed Negro, who, it was duly proven, was innocent of the CRIME of peeping in a white woman's bed-room, being 12 miles away from the place, at the time of the commission of the alleged crime I have decided to impersonate "AVOICE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS" of Public, and of SOUTHERN OPINION, and ask her with my readers to divest their minds of all PREJUDICE, and discuss with me, consider with me, the crucial NECESSITY for the prompt RE-ESTABLISHMENT of the DYER-ANTI- (Continued on page 3) The Washington Tribune The John M. Langston School of Law of the Frelinghuysen University opened its doors for the 1923-1924 session, Tuesday October 2nd with a record enrollment. According to the statement issued by Dean L.M. King, the enrollment is the largest in the history of the law department of Frelinghuysen University. Opening exercises for all departments of the University were held Monday evening at 8 p.m. Prof Jesse Lawson, President presided. Brief addresses were made by the deans of different schools of the University. Dean King of the Law Department spoke briefly. He reviewed the record of the Law Schol, stating that the graduates of this school are to be found engaged in the successful practice of law in many States of the Union. He spoke particularly of Lawyer Tomms, of the District of Columbia Bar. Mr. Tomms is a graduate of this school and was the only man of color to pass the examination at the time he and many others took it. Mr. Howard of the class of 1922, was admitted to the Boston University Law School as a candidate for the master's degree in law. He graduated with his class last June with a very high average. The success of the school is largely due to the fact that its teachers are actively engaged in the practice of law and to the further fact that every student is called upon to recite at each recitation. Prof. Geo. A. Parker, Secretary for the law school announced that several additions have been made to the faculty. Sylvester McLaurin, returns and will teach Evidence. Louis R. Mehlinger, Howard 1921, has been added to the faculty and will lecture on the subjects of Domestic Relations and Quasi Contracts. According to the schedule for the first semester Dean King will teach Real Property; Prof. L. M. Hershaw, Personal Property; Prof. Zeph P. Moore, Insurance and District Code; Prof. Edmund Hill, Jr. Equity Jurisprudence and Negotiable Instruments; Prof. E. M. Chaplin, Contracts; Prof. Jas. A. Davis, Elementary Law and Legal Forms; Prof. Jos. H. Stewart, Common Law Pleading and Bailments and Carriers; Prof. Jno. Collins, Legal Bibliography and conflict of Laws and Prof. Geo. A Parker, Criminal and Constitutional Law. The period for registration has been extended to October 15, 1923. Persons desiring to register should consult Dean King, 313 John Marshall Pl., northwest, phone F. 970, or Secretary Parker, 3324 M Street, northwest, phone W 881. Tuition is reasonable and every consideration will be given. Candidates for the degree of LL.B. are requested to show credits for one year of collegiate work. College work may be taken at the University during law school period. All students must show at least credits for four full years of High School work. This is the only law school in the country conducted solely by colored men. The President Dean and members of the faculty are all colored men of good standing. They deserve the support of race men and women. Register now. WORRY BELIEVED CAUSE OF WYLIE DAVIS' DEATH Successfully Operated Jewel Theater on 4 St. for Number of Years The Southwest section of the city was shocked Thursday afternoon to learn of the sudden death of Wiley Davis, owner and manager of the Jewel moving picture theatre on Four and a Half Street, Southwest. Mr. Davis shot himself with a pistol while sitting in the dining room of his home, 473 C Street, Southwest. The WYLLE DAVIS Emergency Hospital was called and the ambulance sent for him. He died shortly after arriving at the hospital. Mrs. Davis states that the only cause that she could give for the rash act of her husband, is that he has been ill for the past two months and business worried him considerably because of being ill. Mr. Davis came here, with his family, from Rocky Mount, North Carolina, in 1914 and entered the moving picture business at 214 4 1-2 Street, Southwest, where he has run the Jewel Theatre for the past eight years. He made the Jewel an attractive picture house and stood well in the business circles of the city. He was well thought of in the whole Southwest section. His remains will be carried to Wilson, North Carolina, Saturday for interment. He leaves a widow, Mrs. Hattie Davis, a son, Wilky, Jr., a daughter, Vera and a sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Barnes. Mr. and Mrs. Davis have been married twenty-two years. WOMEN'S BUSINESS LEAGUE MEETS The Women's Business League, with Miss Virginia L. Williams as president, held an interesting meeting Wednesday night, at 1825 13th Street, Northwest. The president stated that the purpose of the league is to promote business enterprises of the race, and encourage patronage of the same. The feature of the meeting was the discussion of the program for a two-day tour and patronage of the various colored enterprises of the city, on the first and second of November. This League has been organized for more than ten months and has 200 members. The women are going on with their organization, notwithstanding the failure of the men's league to functure. Their two-day tour and patronage of race enterprises promises to be interesting for the ladies and beneficial to the business places. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1923 TRIBUNE SEEKS CITY'S MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL TO REPRESENT CAPITAL AT HOWARD-LINCOLN GAME All Women Over Sixteen Can Enter Competition. Photos Made Free As the great football classic, the "Howard-Lincoln" Thanksgiving Day tilt, will be played in Philadelphia this year, The Tribune feels that Washington should be officially represented in the city of brotherly love by a typical Washington girl. Therefore, in order that an official representative of Washington's beauty, charm and spirit may be sent to Philadelphia, The Tribune begins with this issue the task of selecting this representative, who, when selected, will be given the title of "Miss Washington" and sent to Philadelphia with all expenses paid as the official representative of Washington at the big game. As a method of selecting "Miss Washington" the Tribune begins this week the biggest "Beauty Contest" ever staged in the District, the winner of which will be officially designated "Miss Washington." The "Beauty Contest" will be open to all women and girls, married or single, over sixteen years of age, residing in the District of Columbia or attending Howard University. It costs absolutely nothing to enter the contest; no voting or soliciting is required. The only entrant requirement is the sending in of a photograph to "The Beauty Contest Editor." Your photograph is necessary to enter this contest. As most of these photos will be reproduced, only black and white finished photos are the kind to submit. Don't send in old photos or photos that are tinted. If you haven't a black and white finished photo that you like, call at The Tribune office, 920 U Street, Northwest, and secure without charge, a card which will entitle you to a free sitting at Scurlock's studio. The Tribune has made special arrangements with the Scurlock Studio to make photographs of all who haven't the proper kind of pictures, free of charge. "Miss Washington" will be sent to officially represent Washington at the Howard-Lincoln football classic in Philadelphia with all expenses paid. The expense list among other things includes railroad fare; taxi fare; special seats at the game; accommodations, including food; tickets to the big dance, etc. Pains and expense will not be spared in making "Miss Washington's" trip one long to be remembered as well as to be envied. The contest opens with this issue and will close November 19th at 6 p.m. The Tribune will publish each week pictures of many of the entrants, so send your picture in early. Don't wait until the last week to make up your mind to enter. Mr. Scurlock can only take care of a limited number at a time, so if you wait until the last, you may find so many ahead of you that you will not be able to get your picture free. The judges in the contest will be announced next week and will include many well-known business and professional men. The contest will be conducted along the usual lines of fairness and impar- (Continued on page 5) POINTERS IN THE "BEAUTY CONTEST" Contest is now open and will close November 19th.

Doctors Refuse Positions at Vets Hospital Doctors Refuse Positions at Vets Hospital The Veterans Bureau is having a very difficult time lining up Negroes who will accept service in the Veterans Hospital at Tuskegee under present conditions, which is white management. While the National Medical Association through its executive committee has recommended a sufficient number of competent physicians and specialists to fill every position at this hospital, the Government has not as yet appointed a full colored personnel from this list. However, on the other hand, the Government though the Veterans Bureau has attempted to induce a number of these men to accept appointments under white staff officers, but so far as known, has been unsuccessful. The Negro physicians seem to be holding out solidly for a complete Negro personnel. The following letter is a sample of the many now on file in the Veterans Bureau here: 315 Elm Street, N.W., Washington, D. C., October 1, 1923. I respectfully decline the position of Ward Surgeon in the Tuberculosis Service at the U. S. Veterans Hospital at Tuskegee, Ala., under the present conditions. Very truly yours, (Signed) CONTEE COOK, M.D. Dr. Contee Cook, is one of the promising young physicians here and is considered an expert in his line. Other local doctors who have indicated their unwillingness to accept under the present conditions are Dr. F. D. Whitby, Dr. H. R. Burwell, Dr. Carroll Brooks, and Dr. Britton G. McKenzie. LONE REPRESENTATIVE AT DAIRY CONGRESS The National Dairy Convention which convened here this week, had only one Negro delegate. This lone delegate who came from Hampton Institute, Virginia, was William R. Jackson. Mr. Jackson attended all the sessions and received much valuable information to carry back to his school. Negro Mi Sommits SOUTH DESPERATE IN EFFORT TO HOLD NEGROES Seeks Appointment of Committee of Leaders to Tour States Unable to balk the Negro migration from the south by printing scare crow articles in the white southern papers and by refusing to sell tickets to northern points, the Southerners have resorted to President Coolidge as a court of last resort. H. L. Remmel, Republican National Committeeman from Arkansas and president of the Bankers Trust Company of Little Rock, Ark., as the official representative of the south, asked President Coolidge last Saturday to act to end the Negro migration. The plan suggested to President Coolidge by Remmel called for the appointment of a committee of representative colored men who would be expected to travel through the South at Government expenses and tell their brothers of color to remain in the South. Remmel stated that he had previously obtained the hearty co-operation of the late President Harding and that his successor, (President Coolidge) was most favorable to the suggestion. "It has cometo a pass," said the Arkansasan, "when something must be done to stop the flow of emigration of the colored man to the north. Trainloads of workers are being shipped daily from [Mississippi, Georgia and other southern states, and unless sensible action is taken to show the emigrants the folly of their move both the south and those leaving will bo the sufferers in the end." President Coolidge promised the Arkansasan he would take the proposal under advisement and that he was interested in the matter; the president requested Remmel to discuss the matter with the Secretary of Agriculture, Mr. Wallace. The Negro migration from the peonage infested and lynch ridden southern states has been one of the marvels of this age. It has involved the movement of nearly 300,000 skilled and un-skilled laborers and their families. It is the largest voluntary migration movement in the history of America. The most peculiar thing about the present migration is that it started without a leader and has continued over a period of seven years without a guiding head. In fact, the movement north has continued in spite of the pleadings of the so-called leaders of the race like Major Moton of Tuskegee and others of his ilk. The state of Georgia alone last year spent thousands of dollars for Major Moton to make one of his so-called "good will" trips through the state, the object of which was to check the migration. Immediately after this "good will" trip, the reports show that more Negroes left Georgia than had before. A similar trip was made by Moton and his henchmen through Mississippi but without any benefit to the state. The Southernners first tried the Klan and when that failed, resorted to every conceivable trick they could think of. In many places, they refused to sell tickets to northern points. In other places, Negroes were chased away from the railroad --- Washington's Best Advertising Medium. Migration Suicide MOTON EXPOSED BY STATEMENT OF SCHOOL TRUSTEE Attended Conference Where White Control and Management Was Assured When the Government Hospital was seeking a location in Tuskegee, Major Kenzie, the Government representative, stated that the management would be vested in white officers and that its coming would add several hundred white people to this community. The citizens were not satisfied with his statement and had him to obtain confirmation from Dr. Wm. Chas, White, Chairman of Committee on Hospitalization of the Treasury Department and his confirmation is on file in the Treasury Department in Washington. This same statement was made to a mass meeting in the Court House in Tuskegee and at a meeting of the trustees of the Institute in Major Moton's office when the resolution was passed by the trustees granting the land to the Government for a Negro Hospital. At this meeting there was present Mr. Chas, A. Wickersham, of Atlanta, Ga., Judge C. E. Thomas of Prattville, Ala., Mr. O. W. Hare and W. W. Campbell of Tuskegee, Maj. Moton and Warren Logan of Tuskegee Institute. This was after the refusal of Atlanta and Montgomery to consent for the hospital to be located at either place and every precaution, we thought, was taken to assure white control and management. For the Government not to carry out its promise was a breach of faith with our people made before any promise was made to the negro race. The people of Tuskegee have insisted on a white personnel for two reasons. If any disturbance occurred with the inmates of the hospital we could only blame the White Management and hold them accountable with out inflaming the white citizens and therefore no reaction would take place against the Institute and disturb its relations with the white people. In the second place we have gotten along in a very friendly way with the Tuskegee Institute but the Government Hospital is a very different proposition, under different control and not amenable to public opinion and friction was bound to occur between the races under negro control when white management had been promised by the Government. In the Institute every teacher is selected with a view to his ability to harmonize with his surroundings but this would not be the case with the hospital and very soon we would have an incongruous element in our midst. We deem the Institute of vastly more importance to the Negro Race than the Hospital and to prevent any race feelings from arising we deem it much better to have white control over the Hospital and still think so and know so, notwithstanding the opposition to the Institute in Tuskegee and so soon as the Hospital is satisfactorily settled that will die out entirely, and but for the Hospital question (continued on page 6) stations, stores refused to buy secondhand furniture and real estate dealers refused to buy their property. None of these impediments however, stopped the movement, in fact, they accelerated it. Just what President Coolidge can or will do in this matter will certainly be watched with interest.

JUSTICE FOR NEGRO 1S PLEA the killing of an innocent man, as cl- ted above, and of innumerable other acts of DEGENERATE-MOB-VIO- LENCE, which are HUGE HIDEOUS BLOTS upon the history of the Uni- ted States. Please let me state, first of all, that the high-grade fine-principled members of the colored race, both ‘men and women, (and their number is legion), DEPLORE these crimes, (the alleged erime of the colored men and boys against white women and girls) if anything MORE bitterly than WE do. For they are striving, as a RACE against almost overwhelming odds; and every such crime constitutes ONE MORE gigantic stumbling block in the path of their tortuous march of progress. ‘Their history, from the days of aby ject slavery, details of which are fa- jniliar to vs all, through the years of the Civil War; their passing-through the agonizing bewildering disappoint- ments and experiences of the Recon- struction Period, is the history of the progress of a RACE which HUN- DREDS OF YEARS OF SLAVERY had rendered NO MORE FIT for the REAL RESPONSIBILITIES OF LIFE, and for their longed-for “<PREEDOM,” than would be a lot of Jittle children turned suddenly loose jn the world to fend for themselves. Zt constitutes the psychological MAR- VEL of thinking, unbrejudiced minds ‘of the world to-day. It covers a span of just about SIXTY YEARS! What OTHER RACE upon the face of the eaith has made SIMILAR STRIDES under similar handicaps, in a like space of time? These strides are evi- denced in the work done by the child- ren, the young girls and boys in their public and high schools; in their own Universities, (FEW, yes, bat existing) and in those of our own Universities BIG enough, BROAD enough NOT to draw “THE COLOR LINE.” Strides also evidenced throughout their well- conducted HOSPITALS, and by the meeting last year, in Washington, D. ©., of the COLORED MEDICAL AS- SOCIATION, with its spirit of UP- “LAPT and of HBLPFULNESS, in.the ‘attifude of its men and its womelt, many of whom could readily pass as of Spanish or French blood, but UNT- ‘TED ABSOLUTELY in secking the betterment, the best welfare general- ly, of the entire COLORED RACE: This spirit is so beautifully mani- fested in a LOCAL Hospital, the Head ‘of which is the Son of a Maryland Governor, and is also one of the mos: brilliant, most capable and gentleman- ly men I have ever known. Howard University is another great center where this splendid spirit of helpful- ness is evidenced For further indica- tions of progress, too, one might note the number of colored lawyers, minis- ters, teachers, especially of MUSI- CIANS, of actors, of nurses, of au- thors, and many of us could person- ally testify as to the efficiency of those in the humbler walks of life, such as our maids, cooks, laundresses. T am very proud to say that I have met colored men and women from all the walks of life cited, possibly to a greater degree than have most white ywomen and men. For I have always been’ profundly “interested in their problems, and in noting their mental processes in coping therewith, SCIEN- ‘TIFIC CURIOSITY, you say? Well, YES! BUT COMBINED with genu- ine friendliness, and an overwhelm- ing desire to see this race get a sem- plance, at least, of a fair show and a square deal. I have found in them even in those whose minds are high- ly cultured, who are very highly edu- cated, a certain child-like simplicity, always a love of music and of child- ren, a deeply religious sense, and a capacity for faithful service and loy- alty to whatever cause is theirs, that is very impressive. I have known swonderful instances wherein they have shown tenderness and kindliness of heart far in excess of such sen- timents manifested on the part of white people under similar circum- stances and conditions. To illustrate this last, I once knew a certain wom- an very intimately, and I have this story direct from her own lips: She was critically, desperately, ill; not- withstanding the fact that she was surrounded: by immediate relatives, it ‘was thought by them, that she was doctor, when her baby was born pre- maturely and died; she hung between life and desth for days, and finally ‘yeluctantly recovered. The peccadil- los of the “BLACK” woman were of- ten harped'upon: All the tea, coffee, ‘sugar, coal, ete., that she “STOLE.” Perhaps they were right: But it was ‘our private opinion that on the Great Day, these sins would fade into in- significance beside the charity and ‘courage and devotion she showed to- ward one of her own sex, in her hours ‘of bitterest need, not ouly on that night, but in several other awful sit- ‘uations, This same white woman, bat- ‘tling along down the years, under tra- gically adverse circumstances and conditions failed miserably, as only a handicapped woman CAN FAIL, in business. SYMPATHY? MORAL, or FINANCIAL SUPPORT? Yes, in fone instance: On the ample, kindly bosom of “EMMA,” her mulatto cook, who had just tucked into her hand a worn, greasy, ten-doliar bill, she ‘bowed her head, and let the tears of humiliation and despair ran their course: From EMMA, lone, she ‘hoard: “Honey-chile, my little house aint much; but its all sweet and clean, ‘and me and Joe would be mighty preud to haye you and the little child- ren come along out there, and stay tell you-all gets on you’ feet once mo.” LOVE the COLORED RACE? Ti say 1 DO. eee | In the innumerable discussions I ‘have had upon the topic of the Pro- ‘gress of the Colored Race, I am in- variably assailed by sneering remarks ‘concerning the LACK OF MORALITY that prevails among them. People mak- ing such observations are genevally SOUTHERNERS, (I am Southern, ‘400, incidentially), and their minds, ‘in most instances, are wellnigh hope- Jessly warped and prejudiced upon ‘this subject. Otherwise, they would be ABLE to realize that the degree of MORALITY PREVAILING among the COLORED RACE TODAY, is a ‘yeray remarkable and wonderful thing inasmuch as for HUNDREDS OF ‘YEARS, they were not EVEN ALOW- ED to know the MEANING of MORALITY |! THE GROSSEST FORMS of IMMORALITY were en- couraxed and FORCED UPON THEM, bear in mind, BY SLAVE OWNERS ‘themselves, in innumerable instances, who, while HOLDING FROM them all the higher, finer things of life, yet were always ready, EAGER, to IM- \POSE UPON THEM. THEIR LUST. ‘And theng when the inevitable conso- ane would so often ensue, would not hesitate to SELL THEIR OWN |FunsH AND BLOOD, the haif- [brothers and sisters of their own tenderly nutured and _ protected (WHITE off-spring, into slavery, to ibs likewise, in their turn, VICTIMS OF SUCH LUST! | The COLORED RACE OF TODAY, ‘are sons and daughters, grandsons, land granddaughters of these hapless people. That this is true in the vast majority of cases, is most logically expressed in a book written by a COLORED MAN, who has been the recipient of many honors in Univers- ities abroad, and is also a graduate of HARVARD, W. E. B. DuBOIS, in “THE SOULS OF BLACK FOLK,” which should take its place among THE CLASSICS of English and Amer- ican Literature of today. “YOU MAY ‘marshal strong indictments against ‘them, but their countereries, lacking tho they be in formal logie, have burn- ‘ing truths within them which you may ‘not wholly ignore, 0, SOUTHERN |GENTLEMEN! If, vou deplore their presence here, they ask, WHO BROUGHT US? WHEN YOU CRY, deliver us from the vision of intermar- lriage, (very few in reality WANT |THIS, having their own social castes «nd circles, and preferring to pro- gress therein) they answer that le- gal marriage would be infinitely bet- ter than systematic concubinage and prostitution, And if in just fury, you accuse their vagabonds of violating women, they also, in fury quite as just, may reply: ‘The RAPE which YOUR GENTLEMEN haye done aint helpless BLACK WOMEN, in definace of your own laws, IS WRIT- TEN ON THE FOREHEADS OF TWO MILLIONS OF MULATTOES, Spec nsacgench its Sach ks Taeagr eC OCTH THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1923 and co-operation with their white neighbors toward a LARGER, JUSTER, and FULLER FUTURE.” Since these millions of men znd women of African Blood did NOT so- licit, sre NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR the commingling of the WHITE MENS’ BLOOD WITH THEIRS, since THE WHITE MEN SO ELECTED IT, WHY turn against THE RACE they have HELPED TO PERPETUATE? That they have literally created! 1 SAY: May that day be hastened when all that which makes life worth the striving and the living, LIBERTY, JUSTICE, and RIGHT, will no longer be quite so intensively labeled, (seem- ingly), “FOR WHITE PEOPLE ONLY.” What the leaders of the Colored Race want for the masses of their People can, according to DuBois, be summed up under three headings: Ast. Political Recognition. 2nd. Civil Rights. Srd. Higher Education of Negro Youth showing aptitude therefor. What they have actually been ac- corded, can likewise come under three headings: ist. The DISFRANCHISEMENT oF ‘THE NEGRO. Qnd, ‘The LEGAL (1!!!) Creation of ‘a distinet status of CIVIL INFERI- ORITY for the Negro. 3rd, The STEADY WITHDRAW- AL OF AID from Institutions for the HIGHER TRAINING of the Negro. How the Negro Race has developed thus far under conditions including de- privation of politieal rights, being made a servile caste, and allowed only the most meagre chance for develop ing its exceptional men, is one of Life's many MYSTERIES. What these same leaders are pleading for in behalf of their people ave the right to vote, civic equality, and the education of their youth ac- cording to ability, Is this an Arca- dian Dream? But to revert, more fully, to the “CRIME” phase of the Problem. It is, seemingly, the honest, the absolute CONVICTION of the vast majority of the Older Southern Masses, that “GOD ALMIGHTY” created THEM, then Catle. Between these two groups ‘of HIS creatures, HE “Created a Ter- ‘tium Quid, and called it 2 NEGROL" And the NEGRO has been treated and regarded accordingly. | While scientists and experts in so- ciology keep tabs, with great avidity, ‘on all the CRIMINAL TENDENCIES of the COLORED RACE as a whole; ‘of theit loose women; of their illegi- timate children, and of the “AS- SAUL CASES” cited against them, it is a culmination to be earnestly hoped for by those who stand for FAIR PLAY, that they may ultimately re- ‘flect upon the fact that as upon one in all phases of ercation, tragedies have fallen heaviest, so with Black Women, in the “CRUSHING WEIGHT of SLAVERY.” Under it ‘there were no such things as legal ‘marriages, nor recognition of family ties, noe control over children. Very rarely, custem, and sometimes RE- LIGION, (for the Black Race has ever been inately religious, this being one of their most marked characteris- ties), according to a fortunate FEW what the LAW (!) DENIED. I: would be well if our Statisticians would but realize that “The Red Strain of Bastardy, which two centu- ries of systematic, legal (!) defile- ment of NEGRO WOMEN by WHITE MEN, had stamped upon the NEGRO RACE, meant not ONLY the loss of personal chastity “(it might prove in- teresting to those investigators who have inquiring mithds to.xead of the high degree of ANCIENT AFRICAN CHASTITY, and other evidences in the History of Early Ethiopion Civi- ization) but it also meant the added hereditary weight of a mass of cor- cuption, of Degenerate instincts and inclinations, from THEIR WHITE ADULTERERS. There are irrefutable statistics in ‘exidence today, to PROVE that, for every ONE crime committed by Black Men and Boys against White Women ‘and young girls, there are hundreds ‘that have been committed by WHITE ‘MEN against Black Women, young girls, even little children ten and ele- ven years of age, and Babies, both The MURRAY CASINO Vector. ae cee es RG 4 yt chen tee gees PE act WP een a Of) Be Be eae - ; gig ae rege on he eee ee 4 (4! i) Beate I oe a a ae et. ete i aes ei | Had) ab ogee a Bee ee : Sees) NS SN, te LE | oa . p ou — fo ae a sae | |e a be a ane wal H hee | pe rt Neste ole ol fo aD s : Largest Dancing Floor Space Any Hall on U Street Well Ventilated Beautifully Decorated Dancing Events - Week Oct. 8th Monday Evening “FRIVOLITIES” G.

The following cases come into my mind as I write. I know, for instance, a mulatto woman, with beau- tiful features and a marvelous per- ‘sonality and mentality, who is the daughter of a BLACK SLAVE WOM- and of 2 GENERAL OF THE U. S, ARMY. He also had a son by this woman. He likewise had some sort of a comiseience. for he educated both of these children, the woman becoming a trained nurse, and the man, a success- ful lawyer, after graduating from Yale, and BOTH OF THEM, most tragically UNHAPPY. I know an- ‘other graduate of Yale who is also a awyer, and is a Minister of the Gos- pel too.” He went through Yale, work- ing during his vacations as a Porter, to help pay his expenses. While thus ‘engaged, he met a literary man of ‘note, who talked with him, If you jeare to go to the Library of Congress and look up the AMERICAN MAGA- ZINE FOR APRIL, I believe, of the ‘year 1914, you will find a very human jand educational article entitled “IN- ‘TERESTING PHOPLE.” This man's mentality and physiognomy. indicate ivery clearly the TRAGEDY OF THE | MIXED BLOOD that is being enacted “within him. | I know another local man, a mulat- ‘to, who has in his veins the “BLUEST BLOOD” of VIRGINIA. Whose “WHITE ANCESTORS” were ALL ‘professional men, Doctors and Law- yers, and MUSICIANS OF NOTE. ‘This man is successfully engaged in ‘a big, honestly conducted business, and he has within him the gentlest soul, the kiniliest, most unresentfal ‘heart,,and yet, the greatest. SYMPA- THY, the tenderest PITY for his ‘own RACE, thet I have ever encoun- ‘tered, Incidentally, his SON, a good- locking man of 25 or 30, is one of the ‘most famous Orchestra Leaders in the Country, Lack of time and space pre- vents me from giving innumerable ‘other and remarkable instances of this TRAGEDY OF THE MIXED BLOOD.

THE ANTTI- LYNCHING BILL would stop such fiendish happenings as this. It is also ‘a matter of record that many terrible crimes of rape, murder, and robbery ‘ave committed by WHITE MEN, who stain and BLACKEN THEIR NECKS, FACES AND HANDS, as a disguise, ‘in order to throw suspicion upon col- ‘ored men, and to save themselves. | ‘As an instance of what an ANTI- LYNCHING BILL might have pre- ‘vented not so very Tong ago, 1 will ‘tell you of this occurrence, which ac- tually happened, the day, date, and ‘other data, being evidence that can- ‘not be contradicted, | On tha outskirts of a certain South ‘ern City, in a neatly kept, though ‘humble cottage, there lived a very ight Mulatto-Farmer, with his wife, ihis young daughter, a girl of 19, and hig son, and HIS wife, who was ex- |pecting to be confined in a few weeks. |A crowd of typical WIUTE TOUGHS came rowdying by, most of them very [drunk, and called out insulting re- | marks and indecent proposals to these two mulatto women, seated on their Jown porch, shelling peas. ‘The colored men ordered them away but they persisted in their insulting Ispeeches, and came even up to the porch to enforee their demands!

Valley School at Tuskegee Former Northwestern Star Expected to Shine for Howard The football teams of A. and T. College of Greensboro, N. C., and Howard University will usher in the season on the local's campus today (Saturday) at 3 o'clock. Much interest is being manifested in the game although the North Carolinians are expected to be easy for the locals. But everybody is anxious to see a Howard "comeback" and the initial game will serve to get a line on the team. While Coach Watson will not announce his line-up until game time, it is expected that the following group will face the referee for the first whistle: Long and Williams, ends; Smith and Melton, tackles; Miller and Anderson, guards; Priestley, center; Doneghy, Peyton, Contee and Webster or Warren, backs. The big question-mark of the Howard team now is the line. There is plenty of weight but little experience. The above tackles ranging over 200 pounds have had some experience. Melton won his "H" in 1921 but laid off last year, while Smith performed for the strong Simmon's University eleven which last year held West Virginia Institute to a tie score. Both ends went through the mill aplenty last year. Miller, Anderson and Priestley must yet be tested in actual combat. The backfield material is not causing the coaches any great worry, although no decision has been made as to the man who will call signals. Captain Doneghy, if his work in scrimmage can be taken as a criterion, is out for his biggest year, which is saying a whole lot. Peyton, a former Northwestern player, promises to be a star. Not only is he a line-plunger of merit, but an excellent defensive back. It will be hard for any eleven scheduled to meet Howard to match this pair. Conte, received an injury that has slightly impaired his training but he has shown enough to get the edge at this time on the rest of the field. Brannon, a star back of the 1920 Howard team, has re-entered school and is showing a bit of his old form. Dodson has not come up to expectation as yet. The quarterback position was that to have been solved early in the week with the appearance of Carter but since it has bene learned that the latter would have to miss a class each day to attend practice. Class work also stands in the way of Crawford, 1922 guard and Melton, 1922 back and neither will be seen on the gridiron this fall. Blackman, second-string quarter of last year, has a bad ankles and will be on the shelf for two weeks. Warren and Webster may be specially drilled for the generalship job or a man will be picked to call signals from the four ranking backfield players. For reserve linemen in case of injury or the failure of any of the above mentioned to make the grade, Doaks Bagley, Keller and Burrell are capable of stepping in and filling the gaps. Campbell, the former Dunbar High star is putting up a stiff battle for an end. The St. Paul-Va. Seminary Clash a Headliner By J. L. Whitehead Lawrenceville, Va.-The St. Paul-Seminary football classic which will be played on Russell Field Saturday afternoon will be a big attraction in that it will be the only C. I. A. A game of the day, and because of the keen and genuine spirit of rivalary existing between these two great Old Dominion institutions of learning The stage is set for the tilt, and the slogan at St. Paul is "Beat Seminary." All eyes on the East will be centered on the battle, the outcome of which will greatly assist the pigskin statisticians in doping out St. Paul's and Seminary's relative standing as members of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association. The Dragons will invade Lawrenceville twenty-six strong, bent on avenging the two successive defeats received at the hands of Douglas' astute machine. They have a good, well trained and evenly balanced outfit and will stage a varigated aerial and line-bucking attack. Coach Lawrence's modest make-up prevents his making any predictions, but he carries a 1923 autumnal smile that is indicative of implicit confidence in his rejuvenated eleven. The Tigers will uncover a style of football never before witnessed in Brunswick County. All their plays will be run from regular formations, but the direction of the play is impossible of diagnosis. The practices during the past week have been in secret; and, while St. Paulites are well-informed on the Douglas-Taylor strategy, they are uncertain about the nature of the artillery that the Orange and Black will put into action against the mountain visitors. One thing is certain; the game will be a thriller. Va. Seminary Gets an Easy Start Va.

Sept. 29—Forty-five men reported to Coach B. T. Harvey. Several new prospects were present. The whole week has been spent in teaching the squad the fundamentals so that the new material has had no chance to make a showing. The team has lost four letter men. The remainder of last year's squad is back with the exception of the two ends. Gayles and Starr. Coach Harvey is putting the squad through strenuous practices. Most of the time is spent running back punts, kicking, bucking, and throwing forward passes. The Tigers have a hard schedule this year. The first game is with the hard playing 24th Infantry of Camp Benning on Oct. 6. This team suffered only one defect last year and is out this year for a clean record. Capt. Charles Kelley, "Red" Williams, "Key West" Irving, and the rest of last season's first string men are showing good form. Great things are expected of this year's team. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1923 Lincoln Faces Bordentown Shy of Veterans Lincoln University, Pa.—Once upon a time a sad face and a pitiful tale about "A poor season" were sufficient in lieu of a year's tuition at many of our schools, but lately the schools have found that "promises to pay" won't run schools and they're demanding "hard" cash from the students. This has added materially to the students' problems, so that many "hang on" to their jobs until not another "shekel" is to be seen, in order that they may face the register without fear and trepidation. This cruelness has presented Coach Young with his first big problems for very few of the old players have yet put in an appearance and the first game will be played Saturday with the heavy Bordentown team, which handed Lincoln such a surprise last year. Most of the old timers are expected back this week, although some of them will be counted among the missing; the biggest loss probably will be morgan from center, who is going to try his luck at Wilberforce. "Babe" Cater will probably get the pivot assignment; he is not as flashy as Morgan, but he is reliable and a tower of strength. McClean will also be among those to "pass on"; Mac is studying dentistry this winter, but "Jazz" Byrd the hero of last Thanksgiving will fill accentably his place. Byrd is not quite so steady as McClean was but he puts more life into the team, and is far more daring. "Temperamental" Skinker came in one day and went out the next; he says he will be back again; same old "Skink." If Skinker returns and trains properly he ought to put in the best year in his wonderful football career. Poindexter is working hard for a guard position. Galloway, carrying over 200 pounds, is expected this week and will be placed at right guard, the position at which he gained distinction at East Orange High and Columbia. Hogan, the "demon" of the team will probably be used at tackle to fill "Silent Sty Wood's" place. King from Morgan, a youngster six feet tall, and weighing over 200 pounds (looks like Robeson) is showing up well on end. Captain Johnson is showing his old time form in the back field. Lee the Sewickley boy, is kicking better and has more confidence in himself; he has taken on weight and is booting the ball for 50 yards in practice. Stratton from Lincoln Institute, Ky, will make somebody hustle for a half back position. Coach Young has a squad of over fifty and is having his hands full to separate the real Lions from the sheep in lions' skins. Dunbar Line Strong The football team in charge of Mr. Saunders, assisted by Messr. Douglass and Pinderhughes, has been practicing for the past week with a wealth of material. Backfield prospects are not so bright, but the line bids fair to be the strongest in years Games have been scheduled with Roanoke High, Manassas Industrial Armstrong, Shaw Junior High at home, Bordentown at New Jersey. Coach Cupid Forecasts Big Year at Shaw Jr. Coach Cupid forecasts a banner athletic year for Shaw. Over 36 candidates have answered the call for "stalwarts" and a formidable team will soon be built around the veterans Richardson, Smith, Burke, Savoy and Chandler. Plans for an unusually strong athletic association are being developed by the principal and a special faculty committee.

(Coach) LOUIS L. WATSON (Captain) CHARLES J. DONEGHY The followers of the Blue and White are banking on the above pair to give Howard a winning eleven. Eastern League Commissioners, James J. Keenon, Charles P. Spedden, Nat. Thomas Jackson, Alexander Pompez, Nat. C. Strong and Chairman Ed. Bolden, forming the governing body of the Mutual Association, met at the Y. M. C. A. in Philadelphia, Sept. 29th, and proceeded to wind up business matters of the first season they have operated as an organized body. The league season was voted officially closed and the Philadelphia Hildale Club declared the pennant winner. Provision for a suitable championship emblem to be secured and presented to the winners at a later date was passed unanimously, the trophy to be in the form of a pennant that will naturally be raised when the Philadelphia entry opens their next season. Eight Club Circuit Planned While the present circuit members have all announced their intentions of standing pat for the 1924 campaign, the Commissioners voiced their opinion to the effect that if suitable cities within the radius of the present circuit should seek franchises in the Association, the officials will look favorably upon an eight club circuit for next year. Already applications have been received from three nearby cities that have shown prospects of being good baseball towns, the matter has been tabled as future business to be acted upon at the annual meeting in December. HILLDALE CLINCHES PENNANT Philadelphia, Sept. 23th.-Ed Bolden's Hildale Club won the championship of the Eastern Colored League here today by virtue of their 3 to 1 victory over the Brooklyn Royal Giants, due to the masterly pitching of Hildale's star southpaw, Nip Winters. Three hits, all of them singles, were all the Brooklyn Royals could garner from the southpaw slants of Nip, who set down nine via the strikeout route. Hildale's errors in the 6th inning, gave the Royals their lone run. Pud Flourney, on the firing line for the Giants, was treated rather rough by his former team mates, they niked Pud for ten safe smacks, out of which they sent three markers over. Cason's all around playing behind the bat for the Giants kept Hilldale's total well in check as he threw out each of the Hilldale players who tried to steal on him. rector Burr won his letter in three sports and has the reputation of having ranked with the Springfield's greatest sprinters. Director Watson and Burr were at Springfield during the same period. Matinee Daily 3 p. m. BROADWAY Theatre 7th at P N. W. Phone N. 7255 3 Days SUN. MON. TUE. OCT. 7, 8, 9, 3:00 P. M.

SIKI IS DISAPPOINTING THE WHITE PRESS- After reading interviews with two American sports writers, one colored the other white, with Battling Siki, we believe that our contention that the many escapades in France charged to the latter were mere propaganda, is fully substantiated. The sports editors of Hearst's Baltimore American and The Baltimore Afro-American found Siki just as civilized as any white Frenchman, if not as learned. Instead of a wild man, they found a quiet, amiable individual who would fight but only for a cause and a purse. In his talks with the reporters Siki credits Georges Carpentier and his manager Descamp with being directly responsible for the many untruthful stories which were circulated in this country and gobbled up by the Race hating white press. Very little has appeared in print about Siki since he landed here and little will be published. Every foreign fighter with any record at all has found upon arriving a fight awaiting him with a champion or near-champion of a division. Not willing that Siki should get a much deserved return fight with McTigue no writer has dared take up his cause. As we have said before, there is a general understanding among the members of the different commissions, promoters and the press, not to allow any black man a chance to show his superiority over a white fighter.

Williams returns to Hampton to resume the directorship of that institution's athletic program. The past school year, Mr. Williams spent at Harvard, taking a special course, improving himself with hopes of making Hampton's physical educational system more complete. For a number of years previous to the 1922-23 session, Williams served Hampton as director of athletics and coach of various teams. Williams is to Hampton what Lambeth is to Virginia and in a certain degree what Haughton has been to Harvard, Yost is to Michigan, Harvey to Morehouse and from another angle what Alexander is to Lincoln. The institution and the man are almost synonymous. Williams has also been the outstanding figure in the C.I.A.A. This association suffered from his one year's absence far more than did Hampton where coaches Smith and Parker ably carried on.

The overwhelming Klan majority of more than 250,000 in Tuesday's referendum election in Oklahoma is surprising to many who did not know the conditions that obtain in the eastern half of the state, which was known as "Indian Territory" before Oklahoma was admitted as a state. The Oklahoma and Indian Territories were admitted as the state of Oklahoma in 1907, with more than 1,500,000 people. The most of these people were adventurers. The Indian Territory was infested with criminals from all of the surrounding states. Like Georgia, it was settled by criminals and, in addition, a number of "crackers" from Texas and Arkansas. And as the Klan thrives in Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas, it is natural for their friends and relatives in Oklahoma to cooperate with them. The Klan in Louisiana defied the Governor and the U. S. Government in the Bastrop case last spring. The State of Texas elected a Klan candidate for the United States Senate at the election last November, and Senator-elect Mayfield will soon be in Washington as a direct representative of the Klan. And now Oklahoma publicly joins the Klan against constitutional government. "Sow to the wind and you will reap the whirlwind," is applicable to the growth of lawlessness in the South and to its spreading over the nation. The spirit of lawlessness engendered during and after the Civil War, is perpetuated in the doctrines and actions of the Ku Klux Klan. They have whipped and mobbed more than a thousand people in the State of Oklahoma alone. The Klan was responsible for the outrageous burning of the colored section of Tulsa in 1921. Governor Walton is trying to stem the tide of the Klan against constitutional government and is proving a formidable foe of the Klan. It is indeed a telling lesson of moral courage that Governor Walton is displaying and the officials of the United States Government responsible for the enforcement of the law should emulate the Governor of Oklahoma and enforce ALL of the CONSTITUTION of the United States.

It is true that many of the schools are crowded, even to the extent of staggered hours and half time. Yet there is no excuse for the alarming number of children that are "running wild" thru the streets of the city unregistered in any school. Noticing a number of children in various streets of the Northwest section, inquiry was made of the children as to why they were not in school. Of more than a score of children accosted, only one was found who was going to school and he, a boy of nine, was on half time and attends school only in the afternoon.

(Continued from page 1) there would have been none whatever. The exodus of the Negroes from the South to the North has had nothing on earth to do with any feeling against the Institute as everyone knows that the only connection it has had with the exodus is to advise negrose to stay in the South. There is something in the statement that as the Institute ceases to be an economic asset to the white business interests of the town of Tuskegee, so it ceases to collect their appreciation and good will. So would the University of Alabama located at Tuscaloosa, and the Polytechnic Institute located at Auburn and so will every other institution, whether white or black, located in or near a small town. For forty years the people of Tuskegee have been friends of the Institute. When funds were unavailable in its early days, Booker Washington never made an appeal in vain to the people of this community. One of our banks went the limit in its loan to the Institute time and time again when its only security was faith in an untied Negro; the merchants sold their goods on credit based on one man's faith in Washington; the farmers took script, a simple I.O.U. in payment for their produce and cattle; the little Tuskegee Railroad, only five miles long, paid freight bills to the Western Railway of Alabama and carried them for six months at a time running up into thousands of dollars, all because of the friendly feeling and good will created by a struggling negro backed by one of the biggest minded business men of Tuskegee. Even after the Institute had grown to considerable size and management of the bank had passed into other hands, this bank --- --- PAGE SIX Washington, D.

This was contrary to the law but the Banking Department let it get by. The best asset the town ever had from a white viewpoint was teh Alabama Conference Female College, in which every white girl, however poor, received a collegiate education but about ten or fifteen years ago this college was moved away to Montgomery and became the Woman's College of the Methodists of Alabama. The reasons for moving was none other than that the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute was located at Tuskegee and white people of the State would not send their dainting to be educated under the shadow of the Tuskegee Institute, nor would they give their money to support the college. Thus we lost our best asset from an educational standpoint, but the people took their medicine and said nothing, whereas if there had been any animosity towards the Institute, it would have gone rather than the Methodist College and do you not think that the Tuskegee Institute is due something to the town of Tuskegee for thus peacably submitting to our white college leaving? If not then it would have no sense of appreciation nor gratitude for past favors. But it has been not only in dollars and good will locally that the people of Tuskegee have aided the Institute, but wherever they have gone they have spoken a good word for the Institute until the whole State of Alabama has a very high opinion of it and as Tuskegee thinks, so thinks the State of Alabama about the Institute. We all know that the officers, teachers and students of the behaved themselves admirably and all the good words we have spoken to them have been only the truth.

Adams Abbie Mitchell's Program The initial recital of the Artists Course was given last Wednesday afternoon at the Lincoln Theatre by Abbie Mitchell, lyric soprano with Melville Charlton, A.G.O. at the piano. It was a wonderful program by a wonderful singer whose marvelous renditions thrilled the audience most delectably. Mr. Charlton charmed the audience in his able support to the soloist. Miss Cornella Lampton, one of the greatest pianists in this country, regardless to race, is coming soon in a recital under the Artists' Course series, management of the Washington Concert company. She has been appearing with a white symphony orchestra out in Chicago with remarkable success. The critics are singing her praises. Miss Lampton is a graduate of the Howard conservatory and is well known locally. sneer on Booker Washintgon's lecture to loafing negroes on our streets as if he did it only to attract the attention of the white people and thus gain a favorable opinion for them for the passing moment. As a friend of Washington, I bitterly resent this insinuation, for honesty was one of his outstanding qualities. I never heard of his lecturing any loafing negroes on our streets but if he did, it was but another evidence that he would let no opportunity pass for speaking a good word to his race. Booker Washington was a great and good man. R. R. Moton would not hesitate to do the same thing if circumstances presented themselves and who under all circumstances tries to carry out the splendid policies and principals of Washington. He is held in the very highest esteem by the white people of this community and has been and now is their friend. Whenever the Tuskegee Institute turns the back of its hand to the people of this community, you may expect the people to resent it and if it should boycott the merchants of Tuskegee, you may expect them to resent that, as would be done by any people anywhere. With this friendly feeling on the part of the white people for the Institute through all the past years and with a record for law enforcement as well as an abiding by the law, it seems to me that when their indignation is aroused over a situation so critical and fraught with so much danger, that other people would give due consideration to the facts. Such articles merely bordering on the truth do not work for good. Many negro papers throughout the North have not told the truth about the Hospital, but seem to make an effort to prevent the truth from being known, rather preferring falsehood to inflame the minds of people. But for the ultimate good of the negro race, the good of the Tuskegee Institute and our own good, all closely allied, we would readily consent to an all negro management to the Hospital.

Manifest your personal interest in our effort if you will. therefrom, but for the negro race and the Institute as well as our own interests in keeping peace in this community, we have demanded a white control and we are still doing so and will do so to the end. As to the citizens of Tuskegee demandig the removal of the negro educators at the Institute and replacing them with white people, don't let that trouble you for one moment. It will never be done. It was established as a school for negroes, to be run by negroes and has never departed from that principal and there is not the remotest intimation on the part of the white citizens of Tuskegee to even want such done, in fact they would oppose with as much vigor such a change as they have demanded a white control of the hospital. You may not understand our mental attitude in this but there has always been a grim determination on the part of our white people to let nothing come into this community that will destroy the friendly relations between them and the Tuskegee Institute, and they would many times rather that the Government would move the hospital away or turn it over to the Tuskegee Institute, as a part for the Institute, to be used for educational purposes, than for a negro element to come into our community that had only the Washington Government to deal with and was not amenable to public opinion. Our determination has only been strengthened and made firmer by the attitude of the Northern Negro Press with their false statements, showing the inability of a large part of the negro race to see their own ultimate good and manifesting a willingness to sacrifice the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute and their own real good for a little political glamor. Let me assure you that many of our leading citizens of Tuskegee have been guarding the interests of the Tuskegee Institute with as much zeal as they would a white school and for this reason they have joined in demanding that the Government should keep faith with our people and carry out its promise as to white control of the conservatory of music Street, N.W.

The negro race has not only to fit itself for places of honor and trust, by education, both mentally and morally, but at the same time the white race must be educated to grant such positions to the negro and they can never attain such until the white people are taught as well as the negro. They may get such by politics in some instances only to be thrust again into the back ground by the same politics. Only by mental and moral achievements are negroes as a race to attain fitness for the things for which they are clamoring and the many false and malicious statements as made by their papers go to show their utter lack as a race of such preparation. As Governor Bickert has so forcefully stated they can only take their grievances and lay them on the white man's conscience and awati his just decisions. W. W. Campbell.

TRY IT ONCE There are many Tribunites who read the "Children's Page" but who have never attempted to send in answers to the puzzles or to the Negro history questions. Neither do they write letters or stories for publication. Why? You would enjoy writing a letter, or a jingle, or poem, or story and having it published so that other children would enjoy it. Life is best when we can cause enjoyment for others. Hence you are urged to help to make the "Children's Page" better by sending in letters, articles, or suggestions that would be of interest to other children. NEGRO ENCYCLOPEDIA Hare, Maud Cuney,—pianist and author, was born in Galveston, Texas. She is the daughter of the late Norris Wright Cuney of that city, one of the foremost leaders in American politics. Her natural grand-parents came from Mississippi, just across the line from the parish of West Feliciana, La., while the family of Cuneys, coming from Switzerland, migrated to Rapides Parish, La., and later settled in Texas. Mrs. Hare received her musical education at the New England Conservatory, Boston, Mass., where she was a student of piano under Edwin Klahre, and where she received high marks in both literary and theoretical studies. She is an occasional contributor of articles to the Musical Observer. As an author, her two published books, "The Message of the Trees" and the "Life of Norris Wright Cuney," have commanded the attention of the leading periodicals of the country. Reviews by leading journals of the country, including the Review of Reviews, The Public, Boston Evening Transcript, New York Call, The Dial and The Providence (R. I.) Journal, declare the volumes to be interesting contributions to the literature of the epoch. For the past few years Mrs. Hare has been engaged in lecture-recital work and has been heard in many of the leading colleges throughout the South and before organizations in the East. A lecture-recital on the subject of Afro-American and Creole Folk Music was given during the season 1918-1919, in the Boston Public Library Lecture Course, in which she was assisted by William H. Richardson, baritone. Her latest musical contribution is a set of Six Creole Folk Songs arranged for piano and voice which has lately been published by Carl Fischer. "Courtesy is the key that unlocks all doors," the wise men tell us. The best thing about it is that it is a key all may have. It is not reserved for a few clever or fortunate ones, but we must shape it ourselves day by day by common, courteous words and deeds. We cannot buy it, nor have it given to us, nor get it in any sudden, magical way. THE ANTI-LYNCHING BILL. I would also, since nearly all Governmental Departments draw a very distinct color-line, set aside certain Bureaus and Divisions and Sections of Governmental Work, wherein the MANY COLORED MEN AND WOMEN who SUCCESSFULLY PASS CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATIONS, might find EMPLOYMENT, instead of ALWAYS being accorded the information, (no matter how low their rating), "THERE ARE NO VACANCIES!" And I would ask for no more interesting occupation, from a psychological angle, than to be the HEAD or CHIEF of some such Bureau, Division, or Section, and NOTE HOW IT WOULD EXCELL, for painstaking, intelligent work, and faithful service. Then, since it is not, seemingly feasible to cimbine the white and the black students, I would ESTABLISH SEPARATE NAVAL AND MILITARY ACADEMIES, where young colored men and boys could be TRAINED more highly to be brave, efficient, and loyal soldiers and sailors they have WITHIN THEM EMANCIPATION AND THE FREED IN AMERICAN SCULPTURE A Study in Interpretation FREEMAN HENRY MORRIS MURRAY (Reprinted from above-named book, by permission of author) (Continued from last week) THE JOHN ROGERS GROUPS "UNCLE NED'S SCHOOL" (A Rogers group) When this monograph was put into its first form, there was one of the Rogers groups showing Black Folk, of the existence of which I was not aware. My attention was called to the group by the widow of Mr. Rogers, to whom I am also indebted for the picture of it. This group bears the name, "Uncle Ned's School." how noble the struggle! how the battle! A type of thou the humble walks of life, best tiently the burdens laid up though the world has long him, and fame has never him, yet he is no less a man man, a hero. —"Art for Art's Sake," There is more, but perhaps quoted enough. If Van Dyk rect, have we not a right to there is idealization in Millet figure; although it seems a be showing merely a single, sition—telling a short, plain And what Van Dyk says is a In at least one respect, this group is unique among the Rogers groups; all the persons in it are Black Folk. Simple as the group appears; plain as seems the story it tells; there seems to be an undercurrent of suggestion and at least a dash of—shall I say it?—idealization. People probably will be astonished at my claim; for most of us have come to regard idealization as having the quality of abstruseness, or of obscurity in meaning. And so it has frequently, but not always. To be wholly frank about it, a careful study of this group has brought me to believe, that, in common with others—perhaps from merely following others—I had not appreciated the depth and insight of Rogers. To his sympathy, his sincerity, his artistic taste and skill, I have already paid my lowly tribute. Of his story-telling, I have said that the common people heard him gladly. However, story-telling, even that which the common people gladly hear, is not necessarily inconsequential, frivolous or shallow, no matter how plain. Any child can understand the stories of the Prodigal Son and Good Samaritan; yet on each of these, there have been built sermons and books from the mightiest minds, and the themes probably have not been exhausted. I do not wish to cancel anything that I have said about John Rogers, sculptor, but I beg permission to add something. Everyone is familiar with Millet's picture, "The Sower," and people would regard me as reflecting on their intelligences if I should ask whether they understood the picture's meaning: "Plain enough," they would say "a man sowing seed." Without asking any questions, permit me to quote a little of what Prof. J. C. Van Dyk says that Millet had in mind to show by "The Sower"—the ideas behind the picture. He says: The dusk of evening, with its warm shadows falls about the Sower; the heavy air, which the earth seems to exhale at sunset, enshrouds him; luminous color-quality forms his background; a rhythm of line, a swinging motion, give him strength and vitality. . . . In the twilight sky, in the deep-shadowed foreground, we see that the Sower works late; in the sweat and dust upon his face and the hat crowded over his brow, we see that he is weary with toil; in the serious eyes looking out from their deep sockets we see the severity of his fate; yet the strong foot does not finch, the swinging arm does not falter, the parched lips do not murmur. His life is but a struggle for bare existence, a batting against odds, but to be, PROVING THEMSELVES throughout the ENTIRE HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY, and especially during our late WAR splendidly courageous, devoted SOLDIERS AND AMERICANS. There are those in this world who mentally "HIDE-BOUND," resent more or less rabidly, in accordance with their degree of BRAIN ATROPHY, any deviation from the Beaten Pathways; who deem all states and phrases of LIFE as direct manifestations of "THE HOLY WILL OF GOD!" Poor God! There are also those who compassionately commiserate with the sorrows and problems of outsiders, both apart from their own FIRESIDES, and outside of their OWN COUNTRIES, spilling their sympathy where it is neither known nor wanted; totally BLIND to the tragedies being enacted under their IMMEDIATE NOSES, so to speak! They truly deem any one who presumes to DIFFER with them, to oppose them, as headed for the Devil and Damnation! An appeal to such as THESE is worse than HOPELESS; BUT, to all BROAD, THINKING. how noble the struggle! how strong the battle! A type of thousands in the humble walks of life, bearing patiently the burdens laid upon him, though the world has long neglected him, and fame has never honored him, yet he is no less a man, a brave man, a hero. —"Art for Art's Sake," page 32. There is more, but perhaps I have quoted enough. If Van Dyke is correct, have we not a right to say that there is idealization in Millet's simple figure; although it seems at first to be showing merely a single, simple action—telling a short, plain story? And what Van Dyke says is not merely his personal fancy; there are good reasons for believing that those ideas or similar ideas were in the artist's mind. Regarding another simple picture by the same artist, "The Woman Carrying Water," Kenyon Cox quotes the painter's own words: I have tried to show that she is neither a water-carrier nor yet a servant, but simply a woman drawing water for the use of her household—to make soup for her husband and children. I have tried to make her look as if she were carrying neither more nor less than the weight of the buckets full of water; and that through the kind of grimace which the load forces her to make, and the blinking of her eyes in the sunlight, you should be able to see the air of rustic kindness on her face. I have tried to make her do her work simply and cheerfully, without regarding as a burden this act which, like other household duties, is a part of her daily task, the habit of her life. I have also tried to make people feel the freshness of the well, and [yet] to show by its ancient air how many generations have come there before her to draw water. —"The Classic Point of View," p. 55 So when we look at a picture or a group of statuary or even a single figure, let us, if we will, criticise it technically—as to proper proportion of limbs and features, fitness of design, harmony of arrangement, etc. But if we would get the most out of it, we should strive to go deeper—to get the artist's point of view if we can, or if we we do not get his point of view, seek to get one of our own, and from it study out the fundamental meaning and intention. Another thought: We walk along and casually see a little flower—a weed we probably should call it—sticking out of a crevice in a wall. Would it attract our attention? Not likely; for, among other reasons, these flowers, or weeds, in the crannies are usually of the smallest, scrawniest, most insignificant sort. But listen to Tennyson: Flower in the crannied wall, I pluck you out of the crannies, I hold you here, root and all, in my hand. Little flower—but if I could understand What you are, root and all, and all in all. I should know what God and man is. Therefore, if we were to see a picture or a figure representing simply a man, or even a child, looking at a flower held in his hand, it would not be safe to assert that the artist had no higher intention than to picture a HUMANE minds, men and women, I make my PLEA that we UNITE in DEMANDING THE SPEEDY ENACTMENT OF THE DYER ANTILYNCHING BILL, and thus check the LAWLESSNESS AND INJUSTICE characterizing the attitude of certain sections and people, which is a most hideous stain not only upon hte history of their State, but upon the history of OUR DEALINGS WITH THE COLORED RACE IN OUR OWN COUNTRY, which is also THEIR OWN COUNTRY, the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. In conclusion, I wish to state that I am PROUD of being a SOUTHERN WOMAN who stands for JUSTICE and FAIR PLAY, and PROGRESS, who has EVER BEEN, and WILL ALWAYS BE, A Loyal Friend of the Colored Race.

For the best drawing a prize of five theater tickets to Dunbar Theater thing of beauty, if it were indeed beautiful; nor safe to say of it, in modern phraseology, it is simply, "art for art's sake." It may be possible that the artist is trying to impress on us the longing of some aspiring soul, seeking, as Lowell expresses it, "to win the secret of a weed's plain heart." It has been said that Millet wanted to set forth pictorially an "Epic of the Soil," and "the first book of it was the sowing of the seed"; hence the picture we were discussing, "The Sower." He afterward painted other pictures which may be regarded as continuing the series: "The Gleaners," "The Angelus," and others. M. B. S. NEGRO HISTORY Do you recognize this man?

Thomas, manager of the Oriental Gardens, Ninth and R Streets northwest, which will open for the fall season Monday evening at 9 o'clock. Mr. Thomas declared that Miss Sipp has been engaged along with Miss Albertine Pickens, popular colored entertainer of Chicago, to furnish entertainment for the patrons of his establishment, and stated that their appearance will inaugurate the special entertainment features planned by the management for the coming winter season. Some of the most popular colored entertainers in the United States will appear at the Oriental Gardens this season, Mr. Thomas said. The place will endeavor to main- 9 will be given.

It would take us too far for me to attempt to trace the steps of thought by which I arrived at the conviction (but it is now easy for me to believe) that Rogers, in the groups we have considered, had more or less consciously in mind something of the same sort. Let us call it an "Epic of Freedom." Here in this group "Un- Freedom. Here in this group, Uncle Ned's School," we may think we see one of the later "books" of the series. It would not be difficult for us to arrange the other groups in some sort of progressive order, beginning with "The Slave Auction"; but it is not necessary to follow up this idea now.

DO | | That Board’s Drug Store is the ONE drug store on 14th Street that welcomes and appreciates your trade in every department—the Soda FOUNTAIN, as well as the medicine counter? Bring all your preserip- tions here where you get the purest of drugs and the greatest of care, supported by the best knowledge and good long experience, These are the things that count, and unless you get them you get less than the best and less than the doctor ex- | pects. It is cheaper in the end to get good medicines prop- erly put together than to go shopping for uncertain values. 7 2 Board’s Drug Store 1912% 14th Street, N.W. Tel.
