Death of Dean Purdy of Howard Gives Hope of Appointment of a Race Man A Merry Christmas ONLY NEC Death of D Hope DECEASED DEAN WAS INSTRUCTOR OVER 25 YEARS If Appointment is Made Regularly, Negro will be Successor Another one of the familiar figures at Howard University for the last twenty-five years, passed away last week in the death of Dean James H. Purdy of the School of Pharmacy. Dean Purdy, as he was popularly known at the University, died at his home here December 7. Funeral services were held last Monday, December 10. The School of Medicine closed for the day out of respect to his memory. James H. Purdy was born in Moundsville, West Virginia, July 8, 1853. He attended one session at the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy; the next year he entered the Pharmaceutical Department at Howard University and graduated in 1881. Upon graduation he immediately went into business, in which he was very successful. In 1896 he was called back to his Alma Mater to the chair of Dean of the School of Pharmacy, which chair he held until his death. Interment was in Gleenwood cemetery. At present there is much speculation as to who the new dean will be. With the passing of Dean Purdy, the next men in line are all colored. If the appointment is made in the regular order, it will give Howard its first Negro dean in the Medical School, as all the other deans of this department are white. Sentiment among the students and graduates is fast crystallizing in favor of following the senority rule thus promoting one of the eligible colored men. The selection of the new dean is expected to be made very soon because of the fact that the winter quarter begins January 2. National Forum Gives Entertainment National Forum Gives Entertainment An excellent free entertainment was given by the National Forum Association at the Walker Memorial Baptist Church, Thursday evening. A large and appreciative audience was present. The following program was rendered: Invocation by Rev. L. E. Keiser; instrumental duet Mr. W. E. Lindsay and Mrs. E. Lee; welcome remarks Mr. E. A. Ballard; vocal solo Mr. J. A. Taylor; recitation Miss Mozella Jefferson; chorus singing; address Mr. James H. W. Howard; (President of Union Laborer's Bank) vocal solo Mr. J. A. Taylor; address Mr. L. C. Farrar; instrumental duet, Mr. W. E. Lindsay and Mrs. E. Lee. Mr. Howard spoke very instructively on the importance of "Thrift" in the development of a race. Mr. Farrar explained the object and plans of the National Forum Association. He told in plain, unmistakable English just how the American Negro must solve his problems. It was proven by history that race problems have been solved by other groups and they can be solved by our group. Lincoln Theatre Mo ing J.

E. as The Published Weekly NEGRO EVE Dean Purdy de of Appoint AN OR RS School Board 43-L Regulat MaternityLea Rule 43-L which grants married teachers a maternity leave of two years was changed Wednesday, by the Board of Education, at its regular meeting. The new rule stipulates that the mother must remain out of school nine months after the birth of the child and must make application for reinstatement within two years from the date of leave of absence. This is to apply to all teachers now out, who expect to return. A woman physician is to be appointed by the board for examination of prospective mothers. An application blank for maternity leave was adopted. Want Curb on Smoking Speaking for the committee of which he was chairman, Capt. Peyser reported the following recommendations as the result of investigation into charges of smoking in the stadiums of the schools. COMMISSION IDEA A FALLACY, SAYS DR.J.M.WALDRON THE MILK IN THE COCOANUT What is Back of the Proposed Commision on the Negro? In his message to Congress, President Coolidge gives his approval to the suggestion that "A Commission composed of members of both Races be created (by congress) to formulate a better policy for mutual understanding and confidence." This suggestion looks-fair on the outside, but when carefully examined, the inside will prove to be but another device for the segregation of the Negro citizen and a shrewd attempt to turn over the welfare of 12,000,000 people of color, into the hands of five or seven men, who, though they be ever so wise and ever so just, cannot speak for the Negro citizens of America. We notice that President Coolidge did not feel called upon to suggest a Commission upon the Jewish or Italian citizens. He insisted that all the laws of the country be faithfully and justly enforced and that all the rights of every citizen be properly safe-guarded. Does not this include the Negro as well as any other citizen? This is all that the citizens of color of America are asking for. And it is well to let President Coolidge and every one else understand, once for all, that the American Negro is tired of being singled out from among his fellow citizens and treated as a ward or as an inferior. The appointment of "A Commission to formulate a better policy for the treatment of the Negro," simply means that the Negro shall be confined to the South or any other place that this Commission may see fit to restrict him; and this is, to say the least, a very oppressive form of semi-mhuman slavery. All who have studied the policy of this government in appointing commissions to consider anything (however trivial) pertaining to the rights of the Negro, whether in this coun- (Continued on page 8) Monster Midnight Pro Murray and Constant oln Theatre Box Office WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, DECEMBER, 22, 1923 struct the proper school officials to take whatever steps are necessary to enforce strictly the present rule against the use of tobacco in the schools and on school properties, and, "That smoking of tobacco by any person, whoseover, be prohibited, in and about school properties (a) when pupils of the schools are in attendance, and (b) that suitable signs be posted in stadiums and playgrounds and at other conspicuous places for the instruction of the public." They were adopted. Superintendent Ballou announced that the bids for the addition to the Armstrong High School are within the appropriation and that the actual work would soon begin. The addition is to be finished in twelve months. James T. Lloyd was unanimously elected president of the board. He was nominated by Mr. Greenwood, vice-president. "Y" CAMPAIGN CLOSES UNTIL AFTER XMAS On December 17, the Twelfth Street Branch of the Y. M. C. A. closed its ten day campaign for funds to be used to remodel, modernize and refinish the building. Over $5,000 was raised, twenty per cent being given in cash and the rest in pledges payable in the near future. Because so small a proportion of the citizens of Washington was reached by the workers in the campaign, the committee in charge decided that it was only fair to offer to all, the opportunity of giving aid to this worthy cause. The campaign, then, will be renewed immediately after the Christmas holidays and will continue until everyone has been approached and the quota obtained. With the funds now in hand, needed repairs to the building will be begun and the work will be started the first of the year. The response of that part of the public which has been reached, has been encouraging and it is believed that the public is willing to show again its confidence in, and loyalty to the Y. M. C. A., and that it believes in it, under the new organization, as a dynamic force in the life of the whole community. This Association seeking as it does to attract and interest the men of Washington, needs to be kept open and running at its maximum capacity. The Y. M. C. A. has faith that the community which it seeks to serve will serve it, in its present effort. / On every Sunday, at four o'clock, the Men's Meetings occur, with an increasingly large attendance. A list of speakers secured from among the most prominent speakers in the country, will be announced shortly. The Y. M. C. A. is at work. The need for finances to increase its service to the public is still paramount. The building belongs to the men of Washington. It is their high privilege to insure its lasting usefulness. Presentation, New Yeaia Wharton with ae. Other Medical Men Asked to Follow the Example of N. M. A. Editor Dr. John A. Kenney, Medical Directro of the John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, has just written a letter to President Durkee of Howard University stating: This letter and enclosure will remind you that a year ago I took out a Five Hundred Dollar policy on my life payable jointly to the Meharry Medical College and The Howard Medical School. This was not at all Satisfactory to me, but it was all that I felt I could do at that time. I am pleased to advise that I have now seen my way clear to raise this to $1,000, thus placing $500 with Howard Medical College and $500 with the Meharry Medical School. I agree to keep up the annual premium on this policy and trust that you will accept it as an indication of my interest in the work in which you are engaged and in the future of medical education for our group, also I hope that it will be of some little encouragement to you in the great work that you are doing. Let me add that I are carrying an editorial in the coming issue of the Journal appealing to nine hundred and ninety-nine of our five thousand physicians, dentists, and pharmacists to do likewise in order that a million ($1,000,000) dollars may eventually be placed at the service of these two institutions from this source, which would be a big thing for the work, and a small thing for the individual. Challenge to 4,999 Others If Dr. Kenney's suggestion is taken up by the other 4,999 colored physicians, dentists, and pharmacists, both Howard Medical School and Meharry Medical School will be well on the way to that financial independence which should be theirs. Race Congress Leaders Busy With the convening of Congress of the United States and, withal, the introduction of bills of manifold import and signification, some intimately related to our group while others touch it only as an incident to public welfare, leaders of the National Race Congress are very active. On at least two occasions within the last fortnight or so, conferences have been held with President Coolidge, the last one being between only Mr. Coolidge and Dr. W. H. Jernagin president of the Race Congress. It is said that the real complaint of the Negro is being laid bare before the face of the Chief executive of the nation. Secrecy Attends White House Visits The strict secrecy surrounding these conferences gives rise to many speculations. Some say the congress is about to uncover a certain prominent Negro who is alleged to have connived at, condoned and abetted the recent Bloomingdale affair, making himself so officious as to call a leader of the mob into his office and express regret that Negroes are invading that section, and whose sneering, slinking ironical, sarcastic manner and approach have made him ridiculous to the victims of this machination; while others remember that all is not yet well at Tuskegee. Michigan University Affair During the past week the congress (Continued on page 3) THE FASHION WEEKLY Mrs. S. H. DUDLEY, nee Miss Desdemona Barnett —Photo by Scurlock RACE PRESS NOT FAVORABLE TO MESSAGE The general tone of the press is against the President's Message. Some of the old line "me too, boss" type straddled the issue or said nothing. However, there is a group of semi-progressives and progressives who are outspoken against that part of the message referring to the Negro. The Negro World says: The President could have said something about wholesale disfranchement, Jim Crow laws, race discrimination in the public service, and the vile Harding policy of excluding Negro Republicans from appointment to public offices at home and abroad, and of forcing them out of political leadership and association in the higher councils of the party, but he said nothing, so that the discontent and rebellion of Negro Republicans remain and are likely to go on and menace Republican success in the Presidential elections next year. The Negro has grown weary of Republican neglect and insults and kicks. The Amsterdam News says: "There is nothing particularly new in his utterances on the subject. Nothing about which we should be jubilant or about which we should be sad." The Savannah Tribune (Ga.) demands action: "The president is noted for his sincerity, but in dealing with our group this sincerity must be shown in a concrete manner and within the coming moons." "Woefully disappointing" says The Afro-American. The Philadelphia Tribune would add to the message: We again quote the President: "The world has had enough of the curse of hatred and selfishness of destruction and war." We add: America has had enough of lynching, "Jim Crow Cars," despilation of womanhood and the subjugation of twelve million citizens. May America with a strong courageous President backed by a loyal justice-loving people arise in their strength to blot out the continuation of this evil. "Enforce the Constitutional Amendments," says The Star of Zion. Mr. Coolidge and his party will only give the Negro the rights which he (Continued on page 6) Office: 920 U St., N.W. ACADEMY trical Magnate Miss Desdemona Barnett —Photo by Scurlock PUBLIC ASKED TO CONTRIBUTE TO OPPORTUNITIES For the fourteenth season the Associated Charities presents its appeal under the head of Christmas Opportunities. These are selected families where a definite plan has been worked out with a view of keeping the children with their mothers for the coming year. This year's opportunities consist as has been the case in previous years of 14 families most of them children of widows or wives deserted by their husbands. Of these fourteen families three are colored. Their story is of the same pathetic sort as all the rest. Mrs. Glenn will be glad to receive contributions for these families on they may be sent directly to the Society's headquarters, at the new Social Service House, 1022 11th Street, Northwest. The following report of three opportunities affecting our people was made public this week by Mrs. Glenn.

Jordan, 51, last Friday, at Mt. Zion Baptist Church, marked the closing of an eventful life spent mostly in the navy. Mr. Jordan died in the hospital in Philadelphia, on Monday, the 10th, and his brother Thomas W. Jordan, 761 Gerard Street, Northwest, claimed the body and brought it here for burial. Mr. Jordan was a graduate of M Street High School of this city, and the cadets of both Dunbar and Arm- strong high school marched as guards of nonor in the funeral procession. Mr. Jordan enlisted in the navy June 17, 1887. He was on Admiral Dewey's flag-ship. The Olympia at the battle of Manila Bay, May 1, 1898, as gunner's mate. The chief gunner was incapacitated and Mr. Jordan took charge of the guns on the Olympia that day. For his excellent service in that battle he was appointed as instructor of gunnery at the Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md., May 1, 1903. He remained there one year. When Mr. Jordan reported to Capt. Willard H. Brownson, then in charge of the Academy, he was informed that there must be a mistake, and he sent Jordan away. But after three days, he was received and was told that if he could live there under his, (Brownson's) rules for a year, that he could live five years in hell. Mr. Jordan remained there a year. For his service in the Spanish-American War, he received the Spanish Campaign Medal, and The Dewey Medal for his services on the flagship. He was the only colored man present, of 500 guests, at the Dewey Reception and Banquet here in Washington. Mr. Jordan was the only Negro to obtain the rank of Chief Gunner's Mate in the United States Navy, and in that respect he was to the navy what Col. Chas. Young was to the army, the highest ranking man of the race in that arm of the service. Mr. Jordan was retired December 7, 1916, and had lived in Philadelphia since then. He leaves a sister, Mrs. Julia C. Collier, 1311 T Street, Northwest: two brothers, Thomas W. and George M. Collier of this city. He was a member of a number of secret societies, but he was buried under the auspices of the Masons. WILL DEMONSTRATE HOW BON BONS ARE MADE For the benefit of the Christmas shoppers, Mr. Brooks, proprietor of Brook's Old Log Cabin Sweets candy store on Ninth Street, will give a special demonstration as to how chocolate bon bons are made. Mr. Brooks will have two young ladies from his K street factory who will make candy and pass it out as samples between the hours of six and eleven P.M. The demonstration will be in the window of the Ninth street store near U Street, Northwest. The public will be shown how the chocolate is prepared and encased over the filling. Mr. Brooks is anxious that the public see how his famous candies are made. In the making of his confections, Mr. Brooks employs more than nine people. His plant is one of the show places for the race in this city. $1; Plate Printer's Union Local No. 2. $5; Mr. and Mrs. M. K. G., $1; Union Wesley A. M. E. Zion C.

LOCALS AND SOCIETY PAGE TWO Dudley-Barnett Nuptials Sherman H. Dudley, pioneer colored comedian, most widely known colored theatrical magnet, sportsman and all-pound good fellow, was united in matrimonial bonds on Thanksgiving night to Miss Desdemonia Barnett, who for years has been Mr. Dudley's chief business aid. Modest and pretty, Mrs. Dudley has always stood out socially, having hosts of friends all over the country, and her congenial attitude which at all times is in evidence in her daily rountine of official business has done much in endearing the Dudley interests in the hearts of professionals throughout the country. We are sure no better life's companion could have been selected by the bride than S. H. (as he is familiarly known) and here's hoping for a successful trip on their embarkation on the sea of matrimony. Mr. W. Cornell of 1327 V Street, Northwest, who has been confined to his room for several days on account of illness, is out again.

Donations of food, candies, nuts and fruit were carried to the old folks and their hearts gladdened by the singing of Xmas Carols and the rendition of the Xmas play.

Miss Lenora Randolph, the principal of this school, is to be congratulated for her splendid work in this school.

Gitchie Porter, now of New York City, is visiting friends in the city. A CHISTMAS RETROSPECT By "Jonathan Covert" Once more we approach the Yule-tide with its suggestions of joys and sorrows; its pleasures and its disappointments. We turn the mind backward and there passes before us a procession of persons and events, intimately or remotely, with which we have been associated, each and all having been woven into the expanding pattern of our personal lives. At such times the pattern is spread before us with our slightest effort, and we see in the woven fabric, here and there, patches of golden deeds which delight our hearts, as well as somber spots of mistaken effort and accomplishment, which make us sad and penitent. It is thus the age-old plan unfolds itself, holding to each view a faithful mirror, in whose hazy depths we glimpse a compassionate Saviour of the World, ever admonishing, restraining, encouraging and drawing us nearer and ever nearer, unconsciously it may be, toward a divinely ordered plane of human brotherhood. BRENTWOOD NEWS The North Brentwood Volunteer Fire Department held its regular monthly meeting Monday evening, December 17, at Firemen's Hall. The drama entitled "Out in the Streets," which was given December 7, for the benefit of Fire Department was a financial success.

It has no well de fined field of work nor any paramount task to wheih it turns all its’ efforts,’ says Kelly Miller in The Afro. American, Intermeddling “in social and secu: “Jar concerns for which: it has no fit ness” has created jealousy, hindereé its progress, and weakened its priority and its prestige. - Its function is sa ered and should not be expected “to hold supremacy in both the sacred and seeular activities.” This is a day. of specialization, Un less the ministers fall in line and “ad: here to those things that look God: ward,” they need ‘not expect hmmage and reverence... However, this does not mean that the Ministry shoul withbold: its aid from other interests wheré it is obvious that such aid i: needed, but that ‘that aid should’ be given as a means to an end and not as the end. ? Dean Miller's: theory” is that thi best results may. be obtained by treat ing every great social issue twice “first, in its broadest and most com: prehensive aspéet; and second, witt special application and pertinancy tc the situation and circumstances of th Negro.” o In making the “special application’ here, he finds it incumbent upon the Negro minister “to guide, if not t lead” his: people” in “all’-the paths: that inake for progress and-right living”: for often-times he is the only educa ted man in the community. But such secular function should be but tem: porary, and should decrease as rapi¢ as the people develop and adapt them. selves to a condition for betterment. ‘The Melion Plan and the Negro What the average colored citizer would like to know is, how: will the Mellon Plan affect him?

It is the most powerful and the most significant of any of th® novels inspired by the so- cial crisis. ' rs een %\ a be | i ce ae Gat? > cae ca _ dn this work Sliss Sanborn treat- ment of the race problem is decidedly original, and her story holds the readers interest because of its un- usual analysis of characters and situa- tions with whlch the author thorough- ly acquainted herself before begin- ning this task. She has, therefore, made the story an irresistible romance giving a new philosophy of life, and one appealing for justice to all. ‘This is the work of a Milwaukee society girl who has endeavored to disprove the old theory that colored folk are far beneath the white man’s standards, and that they should-live within the borders of the white man’s realm and yet remain from it apart She endeavors to bring home the truth that there does exist a Negro culture, almost in excess of her own in which there is much beauty and nobility. hrenologi Phrenologist Reads your entire life and tells you what you want to know.

There were few upsets produced through the season which can be traced to the fact that never before have as many of our college elevens been so evenly balanced in strength. In the southeast four teams lost but one game and a deadlock for leadership exists. There was little to choose between six of the eight C. I. A. A. teams. In fact not one of the Association teams could be called weak although Va. Seminary and Shaw failed to defeat a member eleven. Union is officially ranked as the C. I. A. A. champion by virtue of having gone through the season undefeated. But naming the outstanding aggregation of the year would be about as easy as naming the year Marcus Garvey will succeed in getting all Negroes safely in Africa. Intersectional games helped to muddle the situation. The Union-Atlanta scoreless tie particularly had much to do with complicating the situation. Coach Martin desires much credit for Union's line showing. In midseason two of his regulars, Jackson, quarterback and Rooks, center, were declared ineligible on account of scholastic difficulties. In addition three of his best backfield men received injuries that kept them out of one or more major games. Howard had a very impressive record. Starting with but two regular linemen from the 1922 squad, Coach Watson built up a defense that ranked with the best and a running attack superior to all teams that Howard met. Hampton failed to repeat its 1922 C. I. A. A. championship victory. The team was probably stronger on offense but weaker along defensive lines Lincoln presented the best line of the season. Only one weakness, that at a tackle, was noticed in the Lincoln line. But aside from long dashes by Byrd, an exceptionally weak attack was shown against strong opponents. St. Paul is rapidly on its way to the front. Our hat is off to Coach Douglas for having moulded a machine of the caliber that St. Paul possessed out of the green inexperienced material that certainly must have served as the nucleus. The "wonder team" was a well-balanced rugged aggregation but lacked the polish and speed that experience alone can produce. The Tigers lost but one man, Maddux, end, next year and it would not be at all surprising if they should con the C. I. A. A. title. Virginia Normal came through nicely. Head coach Graves, former Michigan Aggie star and assistant coach Puryear, all-American guard while at Union, were also confronted with much green timber. Captain Ferrell received a broken collar-bone early in the season and his absence greatly weakened the line for the rest of the year. The backfield possessed speed and power. Virginia Seminary and Shaw suffered one, one-sided defeat each. In all other games their opponents were extended to the limit to win. A change in the coaching system of the latter university for next year would not be surprising. BELL TO LEAD A. & T. VARSITY The North Carolina Agriculture and Technical College football letter-men have elected M. Bell, quarterback, captain of the 1924 team. Bell has been one of the team's leading lights for the past three seasons. WASHINGTONIAN TO CAPTAIN 1924 UNION ELEVEN "Hank" Corrothers, former Dunbar High star, has been elected captain of the 1924 Union football team. Corro- thers has been a regular end for three years and has had much to do with the Panthers' winning of two championships. Conway's revamped Carlisle basketball team dropped the season's opener to the fast Baltimore white semipro quint at the Colonnade, Monday night by the close score, 22 to 20. The locals gave promise of developing into a great machine. At the end of the first half the Carlisles lead 14 to R. EI. Davis, Wheatland and Wright played best for the locals.

Fallacy of Mythical Teams This writer long ago realized that the inevitable faces any person or any group of individuals who attempt to select the eleven best football players in their respective positions from the vast number of stars that illuminate the gridirons of today. Picking an all-star baseball team where one has records at his convenience and about six months to see the performers in action is difficult enough. But in the grid game very little data on the work of linemen can be secured, while the merit of backfield men are measured to a large degree by their ability to score points. Yet, generally without a good front wall a star back is made to look cheap. Then again, who can determine how much yardage was gained over a particular tackle or guard or how often this same player turned back an enemy's assault without a gain? Picking all-American teams is an honoring process that should be discontinued. It has become a much-abused favorite pastime among groups, few of whom are eligible. Still, as long as the public, and players themselves, are interested, the practice will be kept up. Abundance of Good Material Each year sees a gain in the number of star players. But this year the elevation was so general as to make it almost an impossibility to name a half dozen who stood out through the season. In listing the honorary players in groups the writer has paid particular attention to naming men who contributed most to the success of their team. Seven Association eleven—Howard, Union, St Paul, Hampton, Lincoln, V. N. and I. I., and Va. Seminary—together with Wilberforce, Morehouse, A. and T., and Livingstone came under the writer's vision one or more times during the season. In addition special information has come to us in regard to each team which was sifted with reports of newspapers, officials, coaches and players to assure as near perfect ranking as possible. Group A performers are deemed to have something over Group B and C. Few Outstanding Ends Lancaster and Lane had an edge on all ends seen by us last season. Both are experienced, fearless at going into formations, good receivers of passes and deadly tacklers. Clay and Turner come to the writer well recommended by those, we believe, who know. The latter was a star while at V. N. and L. I. some years ago. The second group can boast of many real eagle wingmen. Two Tackles Stand Out Coston and Coleman are head and shoulders above all others who performed at tackle. The praises of both have been heralded to all parts of the country and it is needless to devote THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY. DECEMBER. 22. 1923 farther space to them, other than to ad dthat they will g down with the great tackles of all times. Many Good Guards Miller who held down a guard for Union is credited by his coach as being one of the greatest men he has ever seen at the position. The former New England high schooler was of the type that can help carry formation, tackle and open wide gaps for his backs. Cook (Morehouse) played a bang-up game against Howard. Lincoln had good men in Carter and Poindexter. There were many other notables at this position whom we would not dare separate. No Outstanding Centers Morgan (Lincoln) received injuries in the West Virginia game that probably caused him to play below form. He was far from the Morgan of 1920 or 1922. Union players blame Leaks more than any other Atlanta player for the inability of the Panthers to break that memorable scoreless tie "Red" Dabney has also praised Leaks highly. Barksdale was shifted from guard to center after the Atlanta game at which position he displayed great powers. Priestley (Howard) probably the season's lightest center, was a very valuable cog in the Howard machine and is an example of the type of centers now being used by most northern college coaches. Coach Watson was mighty sweet on Priestley. Pindle had the difficult job of filling the shoes of Dabney but came through with flying colors. Jones directed the West Virginia eleven from the center of the line in a fashion that labeled his greatness. Williams and Tadlock were other good pivotal men. Byrd Stands Out The quarterbacks of the past season were a poor lot on all-round ability. Byrd stood way out in front in the ball carrying department. The Lincoln star contributed more long dashes than any other player of the season. Coles (V. N. I. I.) was a heady general and good drop-kicker. Derritt was brainy. He made the place-kick over Hampton that gave his team the C. I. A. A. championship. Blackman will be of much more value to Howard next year. Jacobs in the opinion of the writer did not come up to the form he showed in 1922. Lockhart, Boss, Mitchell and Moore ranked right up with the best. Only One Doneghy Doneghy was the outstanding half-back of the year. Press head-lines have bespoken this star's true worth. The Kentuckian has ended a great football career at Howard and will go down in history with such Blue and White mortals as Ed. Gray, Pinder-hughes, Camper, and Terry. Willette was good at running back punts, sliding off-tackle and throwing passes. Stevenson is marked in the southeast as the class of that section. It is reputed that the Tuskegee triple-threater can do everything well. Brown and Parker are two backs of SPORTS CHATTER By H. Scott, Tribune Sports Editor HARVEY'S PLEA TO SOUTHEAST Coach B. T.

QUARTERBACKS HARVEY'S PLEA TO SOUTHEASTERN AUTHORITIES Coach B. T. Harvey, of Morehouse College, in his review of football in the Southeast, urgently appeals to the athletic authorities of that section to rehabilitate the Southeastern Athletic Association that existed some years ago. The Morehouse mentor enumerates a number of very important questions, such as, officials, standards of eligibility, assignments of championships, etc., which arose during the past season that such a body would have authority to decide. It is hoped that the athletic powers of the leading Southeastern colleges will rally to the support of Mr. Harvey's appeal. Athletics in that section is in as bad a way as in any other section. Petty questions have time and again caused games to be cancelled. A report came out during the past season to the effect that a college had borrowed a player to strengthen its team to meet another foe. While discussing athletic bodies we might pen a word of praise for the new system of naming All-American players as submitted by the C. I. A. A. officials. This new plan of voting is a step in advance of the general plan of individual guessing. It will also serve to eliminate a vast number of "selections" that are published each year. Many football writers witness only one or two games, and then proceed to name the eleven "best" grid performers in the association or in a certain section—a task that is humanly impossible under any conditions. 1923 Football Honor Roll 1923 Football Honor Roll GROUP A—Lancaster (Lincoln); Lane (A. & T.); Turner (W.

The Committee realizes that in this the first time the Association as a body, has undertaken to pick an all-star team, much criticism is probable, but feel that due to the co-operation assistance and balloting of the judgment of highly competent officials, scribes and coaches who have seen all the teams in action much of this criticism will be avoided. Prior to discussing the players composing the first eleven, a word of explanation as to the system of election is advisable. Each coach of the Association and 18 of the leading officials and sport writers were asked to submit to the committee their choice of a first and second All-C. I. A. A.

Your patronage has en- team. Then, in tabulating players a system of scoring similar to a track meet was used; each player chosen for first team received 5 points; for second team 3 points and for honorable mention 1 point. The outstanding favorite was Doneghy of Howard with 80 points, which entitled him to the Captaincy of the first eleven. As this season was productive of no real, great outstanding ends, competition for end positions was very keen. Lancaster of Lincoln, with 51 points and Jones of Hampton with 46 points get the call for the first eleven. Closely pushing these two were Williams of Howard with 45 points, Crudop of Lincoln with 43 and Corrothers of Union with 40. At tackle, Coston of Lincoln, with 76 points and Coleman of Hampton with 76 points are deserving of the high rating given them. Other outstanding men for this position are Doakes of Howard with 32 points and Blackwell of St. Paul with 22. At guard, Miller of Union seems to be the outstanding lineman, receiving a total of 78 points. For a mate, he has a very good man in Butler of Hampton, with 56 points. Other men showing high rating are Pierce of St. Paul 33 points, Smith of Union with 24, Poindexter of Lincoln with 23. As in most other positions, one man, Morgan of Lincoln stands out prominently above other good men. Morgan is deserving of the 56 points Districtly HOME MADE CANDIES Fine ICE CREAM and ICES too.

Several other schools had fine centers; Priestly of Howard had 26 points, Barksdale of Union had 25, and Pindle of Hampton with 24. The backfield positions, as is generally the case, has some great players: for quarterback, Byrd of Lincoln with 69 points stands way above his nearest rival Coles, an exceptionally versatile back of V. N. I. I, who registered 21 points. Some selections mention Byrd as a halfback but his count for quarterback was so far in excess of his rivals that he is placed at that position. Johnson of Lincoln, with 41 points is next highest to Doneghy and is entitled to a position on the first team. Gunn of Hampton got 29 and Martin of Union 24. At fullback, Parker of St. Paul with 63 points gets the call over his nearest rival, Peyton of Howard with 31. First Team Lancaster, Lincoln ..... Coleman, Hampton ..... Miller, Union .....

In its editorial on the President's Message, The Courier said: "The problem of race, of creed, of anything, in this country, must face the tolerance of the community in which it finds itself." This thesis abrogates the Constitution, upholds the Ku Klux ridden Southern States in their contention for "State rights" and endorses the stand of Pat Harrison and Oscar Underwood against the Dyer Bill. A phrase of the 14th Amendment says: "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the law." There is not much facing "the tolerance of the community" in that clause which is incorporated into our Constitution. What the Negro needs most, is the enforcing of the Constitution, not "the tolerance of the community" in which he finds himself. Any Negro editor who encourages "the tolerance of the community" spirit is not loyal to his race nor is he a good citizen. Editor Vann is a politician. But if it requires the selling out of the race in order to secure political favor, then the race will be far better off without such political stevedores. It is reported in Washington, that he is seeking the position in the Labor Department left vacant by the death of Phil H. Brown. Editor Vann is financially strong enough not to care for a cheap job of that type. Therefore, he should be all the more able to realize that his position, as editor of a strong racial paper is higher, more responsible and more honorable than any of the few political jobs that the administration doles out to the Negro. (Continued from page 1) says "under the Constitution are just as sacred as those of any other citizen" when he and his party come squarely out and enforce the Constitutional amendments that made the black man a full-fledged citizen. The Freeman says "The President gave the Negro a bone." However, the message with reference to the Negro, to our mind, lacks punch, and is capable of more than one interpretation. Most of the statement above quoted is but a statement of what has been said time and time again and the last paragraph of this remarkable statement leaves us considerably up in the air as to just what the President really did mean. At first glance it looks all right. Analysed however, is suggests state rights, a compromise with the South that has always insisted that the South alone should settle the Negro question. The President seems to clearly realize the need of action on the part of the Federal government and at the same time seems willing to pass the responsibility on the sections and communities actually facing the problem. This is just the thing that the Negro complains of, that is, the failure of the United States government to recognize the fact that the race problem is a national problem and should be nationally adjusted. The President failed to square up to the Negro problem as it exists today in this country. In other words, it appears to us, that the-President gave the Negro a bone to gnaw, when the hopes and the hearts cry of the Negro was and is for food to eat. The Whip says: "Coolidge says nothing." Those who have read President Coolidge's message to congress and who have made any intelligent attempts to analyze the same have concluded that as far as we, black people, were concerned, that he said nothing that was worth while or was worthy of our commendation. His speech was ostensibly prepared with much deliberation, much balancing of issues, much cool and calm calculation. Mr. Coolidge attempted to reiterate the late President Harding's policies in such a skillful and adorit manner that he would not arouse the displeasure that Mr. Harding did. He either staddled every important issue or cameoflaged it with sweet sounding but meaningless phrases, but when the substance of President Calvin Coolidge's remarks concerning the darker Americans is summed up it will be fairly decided that he said --- PAGE SIX Washington, D.

Editor Vann to care for a cheap job of that all the more able to realize that long racial paper is higher, more than any of the few political jobs to the Negro. nothing—a mere jargon of patronizing words. The Whip Thinks very little of the "Commission." In conclusion the federal head of this republican government advocates the creation of a "commission" composed of members of both races to outline policies to meet the immigration problems. The commission idea has already proven to be a rank failure but it sound good to the pure minded and simple hearted. Governor Lowen's Chicago race riot commission wasted both time and money and nobody benefited except the "paid secretaries and investigators," but race commissions, like the League of Nations and the "World Court" will never satisfy and suffice while the discrimination and the foster children of race hatred and prejudice abide. How would such a commission react upon the Ku Klux Klan? Mr. Collidge had nothing to say about the Klan and here is another evidence of his political wisdom. line St. Louis Argus is averse to the President's Commission. Of course, the ARGUS does not approve of the "Commission" to study the proper relations of the races toward each other. We contend that a Commission could not tell more than is generally known to the least informed person of the country. It's findings could only be, if truthfully reported, that the colored people are lynched and sometimes burned at the stake because of the most trivial offense. This could be broken up entirely by making lynching a Federal offense. Then there is also that abominable Jim-Crow car system. We hold that if the government can protect cattle and freight under an Inter-State law, surely, Uncle Sam can protect citizens in their rights to a first-class accommodation while traveling. Those are two of the most outstanding evils that vex the very soul of every colored person in the United States. The very fact that Uncle Sam does nothing for the protection of the colored people in cases where it is the government's plain duty, that in itself gives encouragement to all kinds of other evils, such as injustice in the courts and other petty discriminations. The Southwestern Christian Advocate puts the finishing touches on the analysis of the President's Message. These refereesenses to the Negro thrown into Mr. Coolidge's message revealing as they do the "milk of human kindness" in the man, are nevertheless not one whit in advance of the message of Republican presidents for the last quarter of a century. It is the same stereotyped revolutionary wording which we have THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, DECEMBER, 22, 1923 been hearing, only hardly as aggressive, every four years on the eve of the vote getting campaign. In fact, hardly does it compare with those highsounding words of the last successful standardbearer of the Republican party in courage and progressiveness. MUSIC By Wel Why does Mr. Collidge speak with such gusto of the largesse of national funds given for vocational training of the Negroes in agriculture, and of the meagre amount proposed for the measured education of an exact number of Negro physicians needed each year. Much for vocational agriculture; little for professional training for a race. A half million dollars for the professional training of a group of American citizens 12,000,000 in numbers! But it is not so much the amounts after all, but the suggested national policy to educate the group along a certain line—the policy endorsed by Mr. Coolidge of ignoring the unlimited diversities within the group and superinducing a special type of education upon the group; educating the group to be the tools of the social organism in ways totally irrespective of personal and individual bent; the fostering of the caste and class spirit in our American civilization. All of which reverts back to the common sin of doing violence to the Christian conception of the inherent worth of personality and its right to an environment and culture that will give to it the largest possible opportunity for development in its divinely directed course, irrespective of group or race lines. As a human being made in God's image, the Negro reserves his inherent personal right to enter for life service every field of cultural discipline that has made the President America's first citizen. Pity the President fails in his allusion to the race problem to evince any big constructive statesmanship powers of discernment. Like most of the nation's leaders, Mr. Coolidge reveals an erroneous philosophy of the nation's most vexing problems of race adjustment. His errors are fundamental and fatal to ethical adjustment. He speaks of the Negro as though the group were extraneous to the American body politic; whereas, in history or statute there is absolutely no provision in our American political institutions for race discrimination or distinction such as he assumes and seeks to make provisions for. However it may be vitiated by wrong policy and time serving politicians, the genius of our American government and its institutions lies in their inclusiveness, without discrimination, of all men on the basis of freedom and equality of opportunity The growing tendency to legislate for the Negro as a special group in American political life is anomalous in democracy and tends to multiply difficulties and increased confusion in national life. All legislation should be enacted for all the people alike and enforced on all with no group distinctions formed on the basis of color or race. Youth Too Easily Blinded by Passion Mary Carr, the greatest screen mother of them all, who portrays the role of the sweet, understanding mother in "The Daring Years," Daniel Carson Goodman's latest and greatest dramatic offering, was interviewed in the sitting room of her charming Hollywood bungalow a few days ago. "Youth," said Miss Carr in her sweet, musical tones, "mistakes passion for love. That is why there are so many unhappy marriages. Swept along on the tide of passion, our boys and girls imagine they are in love. They should learn to differentiate between love and passion before they plunge into matrimony. They should be guided by understanding parents and not permitted to lead the helter-skelter existence of our jazz-mad age. They should try to find entertainment in the home—and not feel that only in the gilded cafes and dance palaces can amusement and pleasure be found. "The Daring Years" comes to the Broadway Theatre on Sunday for three days.

The orchestra has thirty-five members. New Civic Concert Orchestra Organizes The long talked of local concert orchestra has been organized at last in a meeting held at Lincoln Theatre Sunday afternoon December 16th. Sgt. Dorcy T. Rhodes of Howard University called out twenty-two performers for the initial rehearsal and the results were very promising indeed They rehearsed a Mozart Symphony and Beethoven Overture under dis direction. The next rehearsal will be on the first Sunday of the New Year when it is expected a full orchestra may be present. The essential fact in this connection is that the actual start has been made against predictions that it couldn't be done. May the skeptics be made to see the error of their opinions and the new civic venture prove a musical blessing to our colored constituency hereabouts. Do you realize the white people have organized and are heartily supporting a new [All-American Opera Company playing for the first time this week in our city]? Let's start something good too, so here's the local concert orchestra, fresh and young, awaiting local support and interest. Go to it, ye Washingtonians! In commenting on the piano recital in our last issue a sentence reads: "That is Cornella Lampton, an attractive and gracious personality with 'Unfinishing' nerves and a genius for accuracy of detail." The word "unfinishing" should have read "unfinishing" nerves which was a typographical error, as were "Debushy" for "Debusy," and "Morden" for "Modern."

Commission Idea a Fallacy (Continued from page 1) try or in Liberia, Haiti or other countries, know that said commissions have been composed of one or two truckling and cowardly Negroes, and the other members of the Commission were white men who regard the Negro citizens as inferior and unworthy of the full rights guaranteed all under the Constitution. Judging by the past and by the determination of millions of white citizens to regulate the movement of the Negro, we are justified in holding that President Coolidge's Negro Commission will be made up of one or two selfish, timeserving and lick-spittle Negroes and three or five milk and water white men who do not believe in the manhood and constitutional rights of the Negro. And the fulminations of such a Commission will always be in favor of Negro-haters and the denial to the colored man of the rights—the full rights of American citizens. The Constitution by Congress, and the president of "A Commission" to consider and recommend what shall be done with the Negro citizens is bound to result eventually in the denial to the colored people of this country the rights of appeal and of petition, and protests for whenever the Race goes to Congress or the President for the redress of wrongs or the granting of rights, the Race will be referred to "the Commission on the Negro." And what is worse still, public opinion will soon come to the point where it will take it for granted that illus, wrongs, etc., of the Colored people of the United States need not concern the public, but must be referred to the "Negro Commission." If the Negro citizens of this country value the rights conferred upon them by the Constitution of the United States, and wish to be free men and women, they must oppose by every means in their power the appointment by either Congress or the President any kind of Commission to take in hand the affairs of the colored people of this country.
