RACE BANKERS IN MAMMOTH DEAL, PURCHASE ENTIRE TOWN Student Volunteer Movement in Convention Goes on Record Against Segregation First in Local Circulation. RACE BA Student V tion Goes REV.E.D.W.JONES ADVOCATES RACE CONGRESSMEN Emancipation Day Orator Tells Race to Fight for Representation The Emancipation Proclamation Celebration for the District of Columbia was held this year under the auspices of the National Negro Race Congress. Dr. W. H. Jernagin, president. The principal address delivered by Dr. E. D. W. Jones, pastor of Union Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, aroused his audience by the declaration that "the migration of the Negro from the South to the North and West is the loudest protest of a people against man's inhumanity to man—mob violence, lynchings, burnings, and disfranchisement—ever recorded in the annals of American history; and that because of it, the political power and influence of the Race had enlarged to the proportions that either from New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Michigan or Indiana we would elect a Negro Congressman to defend us at the Nation's Capital." A well rounded program was rendered including several musical numbers. The celebration was held at Florida Avenue Baptist Church and was attended by a large crowd. Dr. Jones affirmed that when Revels and Bruce were United States Senators; and when Elliot, Rainey, Langston, Lynch and the seventeen other Negro Congressmen were in the House of Representatives, our condition as a race was better than then now, though we were but a few years removed from slavery. The Negro has a better right to a Congressman than any group in America because his rights are always being violated." "The migration is the revolt of the masses," the speaker continued, "and was not to be charged alone to economic conditions but more directly chargeable to a righteous desire to flee from hatred, disfranchisement and poor school facilities to a section where at least he could in some larger measure exercise his rights as an American citizen, educate his children and feel secure under his own roof." "Politically," Dr. Jones pointed out, "the next presidential election would be determined by the Negro vote, and this will not be given to any candidate because of party label but because of principles and the attitude maintained toward the race." He urged Negroes in every community to fight segregation, and suggested that the United States honor and decorate some Negro soldier who had bravely and manfully carried himself in the recent "war of Nations." He continued, saying, that our greatest economic peril was employment. "Negro business," he said, "banks, and stores of all kinds, must be patronized. He stated that Negro newspapers must be more widely read and circulated because they had always been honest and fearlessly outspoken advocates of the very best interests of the race." "Seek the advice of your own trained lawyers, the aid of your own world renowned graduate physicians, put your monies in Negro banks, let Negro Real Estate agents buy your houses in the very best neighborhoods and then build up a money independence that will assure the race standing and respect.

Delegates were in attendance from chapters of the fraternity in all sections of the country. The business sessions of the convention were held December 26, 27, 28 and 29 at the Pine Street Department of the Young Men's Christian Association of St. Louis. The public session was held Sunday afternoon, December 30, at the Union Memorial M. E. Church. The Omega Psi Phi Fraternity will meet in its next annual convention (1924) at the seat of the Alpha and Alpha Omega chapters at Washington, D.C. Because of the desire of the citizens of St. Louis to show their hospitality to the delegates and visiting members of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity through various social functions in their honor, all business was transacted in day sessions. On the Emmett J. Scott Addresses Crowd In Philadelphia Philadelphia, Pa., January 1st—In celebration of the Emancipation Proclamation issued by Abraham Lincoln, a Mass Meeting of colored and white citizens of Philadelphia was held at the Academy of Music on Broad St., January 1st, under the auspices of the Citizens' Committee of Allied Organizations. During the past five or six years some speaker of national prominence has been invited to deliver this particular address by the Allied Citizens' Organization. The address this year was delivered by Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary-Treasurer of Howard University, who served during the World Conflict as Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, advising in matters affecting colored troops and civilians. In part, Doctor Scott said, "It is with profound satisfaction that I find myself here in Philadelphia tonight. I am deeply grateful for the invitation which brings me here, and for the cordial reception you have accorded me. It is impossible to come to this City of Brotherly Love, to this great Commonwealth, without having one's blood stirred by patriotic associations and historical recollections." nor to intellect. Color only has place when there is nothing else to commend and suggest a higher standard of judgement. Any color is despicable that disgraces itself, violates the rights of humanity and smirches itself with horror and blood, revolting to Christianity and civilization. "Negroes should advocate suffrage for the District of Columbia if for no other reason than to give the one hundred thousand determined, intellectual Negroes of Washington an opportunity to prove their worth of citizenship and to have a part in the governing of their own city. "We are at the mercy of the police, the hospitals, the Rent Commission, the Courts, and insulting public carriers, and efforts should be made for the race to have a larger representation in our city affairs." At the completion of Rev. Jones' address, the audience voted unanimously to publish the address and give it out to the country. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, JANUARY 5, 1924 evening of the 26th, Capt. John H. Purnell of the faculty of Sumner Teachers' College and Basileus of the Upsilon Omega Chapter of the fraternity at St. Louis, entertained the national officers of the fraternity at dinner at his home. Later the same evening a smoker was given to the visiting delegates by the local chapter at the Grand Central Hotel. Formal Reception Held On the evening of the 27th a formal reception to the citizens of St. Louis was held in the beautiful and spacious auditorium at Poro College. Here the visiting fraternity men were given an opportunity to meet the citizens of St. Louis. The annual dance of the fraternity was held on the evening of the 28th at Paradise Hall. This function will long remain fresh in the memory of St. Louis for its beauty and brilliance. The attendance on this evening was restricted to members of the fraternity and their company. In appreciation of the hospitality of St. (Continued on page 6) Tuskegee, Ala.—According to records compiled by Tuskegee Institute in the Department of Records and Research, Monroe N. Work in charge there were 28 persons lynched in 1923. This is 29 less than the number 57 for the year 1922. Thirteen of the persons lynched were taken from the hands of the law, 7 from jails and 6 from officers of the law outside of jails. There were 46 instances in which officers of the law prevented lynchings. Four women, 3 white and 1 colored, were among those thus saved. Six of these preventions of lynchings were in Northern States and 40 in Southern States. In 37 of the cases the prisoners were removed or the guards augmented or other precautions taken. In the 9 other instances, armed force was used to repel the would-be lynchers. In 8 instances during the year persons charged with being connected with lynching mobs were brought to trial. Of the 52 persons thus before the courts only 2 were sent to the penitentiary. Of the 28 persons lynched in 1923, 26 were Negroes and 2 were whites; two of the fromer were women. 7 or one fourth of those put to death were charged with rape or attempted rape; one of the victims was burned to death; one was put to death and then the body was burned. The charge against the one burned to death was murder. The offenses charged against the whites were: participation in strike depredations, 1; being taken a sa Negro, 1. The offenses charged against the Negroes were: murder, 3; murderous assault, 2; rape, 6; attempted rape, 1; killing officer of the law, 2; wounding officer of the law, 3; no charge reported, 3; assisting man charged with rape to escape, 1; resisting posse searching for man charged with rape, 1; cattle stealing, 1; "trying to act like white man and not knowing his place," 1; insulting woman, 1; peeping in window, 1; striking man in altercation 1. The nine states in which lynchings occurred and the number in each state are as follows: Arkansas 2; Florida 8; Georgia 4; Louisiana 1; Mississippi 8; Missouri 1; Oklahoma 1; Texas 2; Virginia 1. STUDENTS FROM SOUTH TAKE NEW VIEW OF NEGRO Howard University Representatives Play Big Part in Working Out Problems From December 28th through January 1, the Student Volunteer Movement held its sessions in Indianapolis, Indiana. Seven thousand students from all over the world were present. The results of this convention will, no doubt be epoch making in the matters of racial equality, social brotherhood and the evangelization of the whole world. Howard University was represented there by Miss Mary Emma Mack of the Student Y. W. C. A., and Mr. James R. C. Pinn of the School of Religion. The convention was divided into 49 groups of over 100 each. These discussed the vital problems before the convention. In 41 groups the main issue was the race question. In 35 groups war was very important issue. In 11 groups the "right to impose Western civilization and Christianity upon others" was the important issue. Each group, after the final discussion chose its best representatives, two from each group, to attend the "group leaders' conference" for the purpose of summing up the results of the discussions. Mr. J. R. C. Pinn of Howard University was chosen as one of the representatives of his group. Conclusions reached in this meeting were as follows: nine groups were for no racial distinction whatsoever, including the right of intermarriage of whites and Negroes. The decision in each of these groups was unanimous. In 8 groups the majority voted in favor of this decision. It will be interesting to note that many southern white students were won over to this view. This is a very significant fact. All of the other groups favored racial equality up to the point of intermarriage. The groups' decision in reference to war was that war was to be avoided as a most miserable sin, unworthy of Christians. In reference to the discussion concerning the imposition of Western Christianity, the decision was to present to and not impose on, others our Christianity. From this group leaders' meeting, certain ones were nominated to present the resolutions from their point of view to the whole convention. To discuss the race question it was decided to have one Southern white man, one Negro, and one Northern white man to present their differing views to the convention. The Negro nominees were: William S. McLeod of Bennett College, N.C.; Chas. H. Anderson, an A.B. of the University of Pittsburgh; F. Eugene Corbie, of New York City College and James R. C. Pinn of Howard University. These four decided among themselves as to who could present the case best. F. Eugene Corbie was chosen. He presented the cas of the Negro race in a most admirable way. The students are now to return to their respective homes and colleges and do all in their power to establish in the hearts of their families and colleges these decisions concerning racial equality, peace, and mission work. Only the rich have time to walk these days—the rest of us have to hustle around in our automobiles to make enough money to buy tires and gasoline. Republicans Admit South is Lawless, but Seem Unwilling to Start Drive on Violators (By the Republican News Bureau). Alabama recently enacted a law which prohibits any American citizen eligible for the Presidency from seeking support in Alabama for presidential nomination unless he be a citizen of that state. Alabama's action is the logical outgrowth of the system of disfranchisement of American citizens which prevails in every state of the Democratic "Solid South," in violation of the United States Constitution and in defiance of the principles of representative government. This constitutes the most malignant cancer upon the American body politic today. It began shortly after the southern states were re-admitted into the Union upon their promise to observe and obey the American Constitution by their disfranchising the negro in defiance of the 14th and 15th amendments. This action was denounced by the Republican party. The right of the emancipated negro to the ballot was upheld by the Republican party. The South then proceeded to disfranchise white Republicans in southern states. Now the malignant forces which it turned loose threaten to turn upon the Democratic party itself. Having used the weapon of disfranchisement Alpha Phi Alpha Convention is a Great Success Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 1. "History in the Making" was the popular characterization of the 16th Annual Convention of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity just closed here. More than 600 college men from 66 of America's best educational institutions gathered to discuss means by which the problems in Negro racial life may be met. Negro college men from all sections of the country were present at the convention, the sections represented stretching from Massachusetts on the New England Coast to California on the Pacific and from Minnesota to Georgia. Perhaps the outstanding actions of the convention was the adoption of a resolution to send a communication to President Coolidge recommending the release of the remaining members of the 25th Infantry now incarcerated in Leavenworth; and making a contribution to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to aid in its campaign for the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. The opening session of the convention was held Thursday afternoon, December 27, at the Spring Street Y.M.C.A. On Sunday, December 30th, the full convention delegation made a pilgrimage to the home of Paul Lawrence Dumbar at Dayton, Ohio. Upon the return of the convention delegation to Columbus, Ohio, the entire body repaired to the Columbus Chamber of Commerce Auditorium to attend the public session where Attorney Robert L. Vann of Pittsburgh spoke on the subject "The College Man's Opportunity." The final session of the fraternity was held Monday at which time after the delegates listened to the report of the Director of the "Go to High School, Go to College" drive which showed that more than three million children and parents had been reached and influenced to go further in education, the convention authorized that the movement be continued and promoted even more vigorously during 1924. Constructive plans were outlined with reference to the conduct of the Fraternity's program for the year 1924. At the end of the session the following officers were elected: Raymond W. Cangon, Minneapolis, president; Raymond P. Alexander, Philadelphia, first t vice-president; James W. McGregor, Los Angeles, second vice-president; D. L. Brown, Colum-(Continued on page 8) successfully upon southern Republics, both black and white, Alabama Democrats now employ it to bludgeon northern Democratic aspirants for the presidential nomination. Were the evils of this southern practice of disfranchisement confined to the southern states and visited only upon the heads of the Democratic party, the rest of the country would not be necessarily concerned, but such is not the case. The South claims and obtains representation in the United States House of Representatives on the basis of its negro and white Republican population. But having used these for the basis of obtaining seats in the House of Representatives, southern Democracy proceeds to refuse its negro and its white Republican citizens the right to go to the polls and vote for representatives in Congress. Eighty members of the House of Representatives from the "Solid South" are holding their seats because by "shot-gun" policy and by dishonest and fraudulent elections the exercise of citizenship of a majority of their communities is prohibited. It is a plain statement of a disreputable fact that there has not been an honest free election in the solid Democratic South for a quarter of a century. The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge F. A. A. M., of the District of Columbia, met in its 75th annual session of December 27th, 1923, and elected the following officers for 1924. Most Worshipful Grandmaster, Charles P. Ford (unanimously elected); James N. Aden was unanimously elected as Deputy Grandmaster; Joseph Minor as Grand Senior Warden; Frank McKinney as Grand Junior Warden; William H. Jackson as Grand Treasurer and Samuel B. Hill as Grand Secretary for the ninth time. The appointive officers named for 1924 are as follows: Grand Senior Deacon, Edward F. Gant; Grand Junior Deacon, Samuel J. Blackburn; Grand Senior Steward, James A. Davis; Grand Junior Steward, Richard A. Phillips; Grand, Chaplain, Frank E. Hearns; Grand, Marshall, Albert Dotson; Grand Lecturer, John C. Bruce; Grand Sword Bearer, Eugene A. Randall; Grand Standard Bearer, William A. Clark; Grand Pursuivant, C. C. James; Grand Librarian, Henry Banks; Grand Tiler, Jesse B. Martin and Ernest M. Dickerson, as representative to the Masonic Hall corporation. This session marked an epoch in Grand Lodge affairs in this jurisdiction. It was the first session in which the Grand Lodge has met when all of its business was transacted in one day. A day session was held from 1 p.m. until 4 p.m. at which time all the routine business was carried on with relation to the subordinate lodges and the reports of committees. The outgoing Grandmaster, Jesse H. Mitehell, read his annual address before the Grand Lodge at the evening session beginning at 7 p.m. It was concise and pointed with the achievements of the year by the Craft in the erection of its Temple at 10th and U Streets. The Grand Lodge tendered Mr. Mitchell a vote of thanks for the work accomplished during his administration. A stupendous task awaits the new Grandmaster Ford. To him the Craft is looking for the finishing of the Temple now begun. This temple is to cost in round numbers $300,000, and the whole of this amount practically will come from the pockets of the men and women identified with the Order. The plans of the incoming administration are to take possession about next October and to dedicate the Temple in 1925 when the 100th anniversary of Freemasonry among our people will be celebrated in this city. Washington's Best Advertising Medium. RETOWN TRUXTUN, VA., MODERN TOWN OF 253 HOMES, SOLD Regular City To Be Made Out of Town Built by Government History was made here this week when a group of race financiers headed by W. H. C. Brown, investment banker of Newport News, Va., and Washington, D.C.; Dr. A. J. Strong, treasurer of Metropolitan Bank of Norfolk, Va.; one of the race's largest banks; and Dr. Norman Lassiter, prominent dentist and capitalist of Newport News, Va., from the Tidewater section of Virginia, purchased through sealed bids, the entire town of Truxtun, Va. While the exact amount paid for this town could not be learned, it was hinted that the price was around $141,000. Truxtun was owned by the U. S. Government and was operated thru the U. S. Housing Corporation. It was built by the Government during the war to house the colored workers at the Navy Yard at Portsmouth, Va. The government in line with its policy of getting rid of its wartime activities, ordered the town for sale. Sealed bids were received at the office of the Housing Corporation here Wednesday, January 2nd. A number of bidders (mostly white) from Norfolk, Portsmouth and the Tidewater section presented their bids. At the time of opening the bids it was found that the only race bidders had topped the list, much to the surprise of the white bidders who did not entertain the slightest idea that Negroes had enough money (especially since it was a cash proposition) to outbid them. When the bidders assembled Wednesday afternoon to hear the report, the Housing Corporation Committee announced that race men had been awarded the property as the highest bidders. Truxtun, Va., was built by the Government exclusively for Negro workers. It is located just over the city line of Portsmouth, Va., within one mile of the U. S. Navy Yard. It is served by the Portsmouth electric line; railroad facilities are furnished by a belt road that connects with all the trunk lines entering Portsmouth and Norfolk. The town is composed of 253 houses all modern; each house consists of five rooms, bath, hot water, electric lights and street sewers. Besides the above, each house has a large front yard for flowers and a back yard for a garden. In addition to the 253 houses already constructed, there are 70 vacant lots. The streets are wide and improved with hard gravel. In the middle of the streets are planted flowers and shrubbery. A modern 10-room brick school building is also owned by the town. This school building is equipped to meet all community needs, having a spacious auditorium for concerts, picture shows and dances. The school rooms are of the most modern type known. Truxtun is one of the most beautiful spots in the Tidewater section. The town cost the Government over $1,000,000 to build. Of the 253 houses there, 143 have been sold and are now occupied by colored citizens. The syndicate which now takes over these equities and properties, will at once reduce the Government purchase price, ranging from $1900.00 to $2600.00 by 25 per cent to these home buyers. All of the 105 unsold houses will immediately be placed on the market on the basis of the same generous reductions. The payment on these houses will not exceed one per cent a month. They have also arranged, at a cost of about $10,000, to paint all the houses constituting the town. It was authoritatively announced here that the new owners plan to develop a regular town and give the race an opportunity to govern itself. While Negro towns are not a new experiment the progress of Truxtun will be watched with interest. It's easier to succeed by honesty than by dishonesty.

The reports of the several departments of government, reports of various bureaus and commissions, cursive reports, and all the work of both branches of the United States Congress constitute the output of this great office, employing about 4,000 persons. The pressroom occupies the entire first floor; the executive offices, stock rooms, and job printing room are located on the second floor; the bindery and folding rooms are on the third, fourth and fifth floors; the printing divisions are on the sixth and seventh and part of the fifth and eighth floors. The cafeteria, Harding Hall and recreation rooms are on the eighth floor. A magnificent roof garden crowns this wonderful building. The old Government Printing Office at the corner of North Capitol and H Streets, Northwest, is now used as a store house, filled with volumes of old books and other literature, and surrounded with memories of long departed years. In the lower portion of the building, on the H Street side, is located the Post Card section, where millions of postal cards are printed annually. It was in the old Government Printing Office that the first colored man received an appointment as a printer. This conspicuous honor was bestowed on Lewis H. Douglass, son of the immortal Frederick Douglass, in 1868. A large number of the white printers in the office protested against the appearance of Mr. Douglass, and threatened dire things. But Douglass fought bravely and Public Printer Defrees took a determined stand in his behalf. In a short time the opposition melted away and Lewis H. Douglass was admitted to membership in Columbia Typographical Union No. 101, of this city. After working in the Government Printing Office for several years, Mr. Douglass resigned and entered the business world as a dealer in real estate insurance, etc. In 1870 W. A. Lavalette, sr., of Pennsylvania, was appointed a printer in the office, and later on was promoted, to the position of proof reader, being the first and only colored man to receive a regular appointment as such. Warren Fearing, of North Carolina was appointed a copy holder, and served in that capacity for many years. The union contended that only printers were eligible for an appointment as copy holders, and as Fearing was not a printer he was transferred to another department of government service. srvice In 1874 Keith Smith, of New York and Samuel King, of Bermuda, were appointed printers in the office, making a total of three colored compositors. In 1880, A.' G, Leonard of Illinois, and W. A. Lavalette, Jr., were added to the force of colored printers, and in 1886 Bernardine Smith and William Syphax, both of Washington City, were appointed printer's apprentices, and became journeyman printers four years later. In 1889, during the Harrison administration, the following colored printers were appointed: E. C. Jones, Ala., W. E. Cobb, Ala., W. T. Menard, Ky.; Phil H. Brown, Ohio; W. C. Smith, N.C.; G. W. Shaed, Fla.; T. Thos. Symmons, Ill.; Arthur A. Martin, Fla., and "Bud" Whipper, S.C. The high water mark of colored printers in the Government Printing Office was reached during the Harrison administration when they numbered twenty-two, and were assigned to the several printing divisions in the office. When the Cleveland administration returned in 1893 the "spoils system" still prevailed in the THE WEEKLY NEWS Miss BESSIE H. BADHAM Miss Bessie B. Badham, of Edenton N.C., a graduate of the School of Pharmacy, of Howard University 1923, recently passed the state board of North Carolina, being the only colored person who passed this year. She is the youngest registered pharmacist in the State of North Carolina. Miss Badham is a member of the professional Sorority, Rho Psi Phi of Howard. Government Printing Office, and as a result of the policy "to the victims belongs that which is spoiled," over 1,000 employees were discharged for political reasons, and only one colored printer—the writer of this article—emerged in safety from the wreck After all vacancies were filled, the office was placed under the ban of civil service. But civil service had no terrors for the colored printer, and under Me Kinley's administration (1896), the following received appointments: J Edgar Smith, N. C.; Thad. Cole, N. C.; Iva T. Bryant, Ala.; J. T. Haskins, N. C.; A. B. Hughes, N. C.; Edw H. Fisher, Pa.; Chas, W. Williams, Kans.; R. L. Holland, Cal.; and Elias Webb, Tenn. Under Roosevelt's administration F. Morris Murray, Va. Herbert Winsay, D. C.; and Wellington Robinson, N. J., received appointments as printers. In 1905 the whole force of the office moved into the next building where type setting machines were used for the first time in the history of the office. The following colored printers were appointed Monotype Keybqoard operators: A. A. Martin Iva T. Bryant, W. T. Menard, G. W Shaed, J. Edgar Smith, J. T. Haskins Chas, W. Williams, R. L. Holland and Elias Webs. There were fourteen colored printers employed in the office when the Wilson administration took charge in 1913, and Public Printer Cornellus Ford retained them throughout his eight-year term of office. Under the present administration Public Printer George H. Carter appointed two colored printers—A. Anthony and Alberto Carter—emergency Linotype operators; Olive Rodgers and Wm. Peace; printers; and John N. Jackson and eorge Lane, apprentice printers, and John G. Houser, apprentice son and George Lane, apprentice printers who have gained honors outside of the office are Iva T. Bryant, manager of the A. M. E. Publishing house, Nashville, Tenn.; J. Edgar Smith, Past Grand Master of the Masons in the District of Columbia; Henry P. Slaughter, editor of the Odd Fellows Journal, and F. Morris Murray, of The Washington Tribune, Murray Casino and Murray Brothers Printing Company. The first colored pressman to receive an appointment in the Government Printing Office was Edward L. Carter, of Michigan, who began his duties on March 23, 1896. He was appointed by Public Printer Palmer and is still doing excellent work. Later on two colored pressmen, Wm Flowers and Henry Brown, of Nashville, Tenn., were appointed by Public Printer Stillings, but only remained about a week. There were three colored bookbinders in the Government Printing Office—Shermone Lewis, Arthur Simons and Wm. Lee. The former retired last year, and the others resigned several years ago. Under the Coolidge administration the following colored printers are on the rolls of the office: G.W. Shaed (operator); Chas. W. Williams (operator); J. Edgar Smith, W. T. Menard, Bernadine Smith, Edward H. Fisher, A. B. Hughes and Wellington Robinson. George H. Proctor, R. F. Chisolm and Stephen Wall have been retired on a substantial government and typographical union pension, and the greater portion of former colored printers of the Government Printing office have Gone to that blessed abode "where the wicked cease from troubing, and the weary are at rest." A novice always likes to play in a minor key because he thinks it's more "artistic." THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY.

Something of Interest By I. L. Parker A Divided Church “If a house be divided against itself, that house can not stand,” philosophied Jesus. What of the church today? A fearful and distressing situation has developed in its circles. Its leaders have not yet learned the passion for mankind. They are still striving to save and to sanctify a certain group. Just what has caused all this controversy among the quarreling ministers of the Christian belief? Is it of any ex- M. B. A. L. PARKER theme importance to the people at large to-day? Do we lack the real presence of God if we marvelously free from error, and do not defend the whole Bible as every miracle story in it as literally true in every detail, and all that the creeds have asserted about the personality of Christ as absolutely and unquestionably true? Does freedom of thought, and liberty—the basic issue—to utilize present-day knowledge and enlightenment in religion as well as other relations of life make one the object of the wrath of God? Neither a belief that Christ appeared after His resurrection in the same body in which He was buried in the tomb, nor that His was a spiritual resurrection alters the stern facts of Life to-day. Such belongs, as Herbert Spencer would say, to the unknowable. Nor do our various-beliefs alter the natural law of God's methods of rearing Himself. To the Negro, who has developed a super-religious attitude of the religion taught him by the white race, the outcome of this controversy means much. The very foundation of his faith is being shaken. It may or may not mean that he will have to do some erasing. Perhaps he would welcome a stating of the contentions of the modernist; the fundamentalistic contentions he knows quite well. The Modernists contend, with some latitude for individual differences, that: "God is an intelligence and a personality, but not in human form, and bodiless. He reveals Himself in all nature, but is spirit and apart from matter. "Heaven has no pearly gates, harps or hosannas. "Hell has no fire. The devil was an invention of the Zoroastrian. "Prayer will never put a loaf of bread in the starving man's box, unless some human be intervenes. "Immortality will not be in the flesh. Personal identity will endure, but there will be no resurrection of the body. "The virgin birth is not essential. "The miracles of the Old Testament are all myths. Those of the New Testament were interpolated. Magic is not beconning to the character of Christ. "The phrase 'ascension into heaven' was written in the creed by a man who thought heaven was the upstairs of a flat earth." Paris Sees "Emperor Jones" Eugene O'Neill has given Paris a masterpiece in "Emperor Jones' which has produced a puzzling ethnological problem for which she has not been able to find a solutoin through her own experience with black colonialists. She finds in "Emperor Jones" a Negro who, "though he has acquired the surface characteristics or veneer of the civilized man, is far superior to the disreputable white who had been his former master, and who is now awaiting his downfall." A Negro who has learned, in the course of a half-century, to rely on his own strength and to hold himself superior to all superstititions. Reviewing the French criticism, we find high praise given both Charles Gilpin, who created the part here, and his French Negro rival, Habib Bengla. "From the outset," we read, "Charles Gilpin laid less stress on the intellectual side of his character, portraying him rather as a heavywitted, uncouth savage. And he was right in this. Yet this did not prevent M. Bengla from making a very good impression." * * * * * * Make Every Day a New Year We have just passed a second of time in the progress of humanity.

In that issue of your much valued paper a paragraph appeared which states the following: "John C. Jordan was the only Negro Chief Gunner's Mate in the United States Navy." On the occasion of the funeral of our beloved Chief and shipmate there were in attendance two Negro Chief Gunner's Mates, graduates from the Seaman Gunners' School at Navy Yard, Washington, D. C. viz: Burril Robinson and Alexander Mann. To the writer's personal knowledge the name of Henry Brady, also a graduate of the school, is now carried on the inactive list of the Navy. The names of John P. Staten who resides in Portsmouth, Va., and George Stevens who resides in Brooklyn, N. Y., are carried on the retired list of the navy. This article is not aimed to take away any of the laurels so richly deserved by our departed friends and pathfinder, because too little has been said of his achievements while identified with the regular establishment. At a later date a biography, which is now in the making, will appear in order that the public will know of the Negro men who have so nobly assisted in making history for this country.

I'LL RUN YA TO THE HOUSE IN MY WACON! DR. E DOC, WHI UP, SHE D Sidelights on Negro Soldiers (By Wm. Anthony Aery) Hampton, Va., Dec. 26—The loyal and effective service of 400,000 American Negro soldiers throughout the World War, the excellent qualities of leadership shown by the 1000 Negro officers who "saw things through" in France, the untiring and cheerful work of the Negro stevadores in laying the groundwork for combatant troops, the successful efforts which were made by white and colored welfare workers to improve the conditions of Negro soldiers in and near their camps, and the records of Negro combatant troops—this story has been told simply and in a straightforward manner by Charles H. Williams, director of physical education for bays at Hampton Institute, in "Sidelights on Negro Soldiers," a 250-page book recently published by B. J. Brimmer Company of Boston. Benjamin Brawley, Raleigh, N. C., professor of English at Shaw University, has written the introduction, which states the problem that the Negro in uniform had to face in America and in France. This problem was a highly complex one and for its solution there was required the cooperation of many agencies. Facts Bring Results Charles H. Williams, because of his long experience in executive work and his insight into Negro character, was selected as a special investigator of conditions among Negro soldiers. With the approval and co-operation of the Secretary of War and the Adjutant General of the Army of the United States, he spent a total of eighteen months in the United States and in France visiting those places in which Negro troops were stationed, with a view to getting facts and making recommendations for improving their welfare. "Sidelights on Negro Soldiers" gives in well-arranged order the specific information which is needed to show how American Negroes met the call to the colors; how they fared in their camps; how the Negro officers were trained, in spite of the numerous obstacles which were placed in their way; how the Germans attempted to influence the Negroes to turn against the United States; how the Negro troops suffered in France from systematic propaganda against them; how the problems arising from camp followers, especially women, were met and solved; how the "Y" and other welfare organizations ministered to the needs of Negro soldiers, usually with great success; how the stevedores "carried on" amid hardships and numerous discouragements; how the well-known 92d and 99d Divisions were organized and trained; and how the Negro units played their part in helping to win the World War. The concluding chapter, "Home Fires," tells the story of what was accomplished by the Negro soldier, who won recognition on account of merit and who showed his fellow white soldiers that he had an unfailing belief in God and faith enough to believe that great good would come out of many evils and hardships. In the method of presentation no attempt has been made to gloss over evils that existed. No attempt is made to be harshly critical. The truth is stated in kindness but with incisiveness and with important facts and figures. Americans who wish to know what Negro soldiers actually did and patiently suffered, in order to help win the world struggle for democracy, will find in this concise, interesting book an opportunity to secure information which could only be gathered by a thoughtful, courageous man who had visited the Negro soldiers in many sections of the United States and France—and always with an open mind. As men and women study the results of the World War, they discover, for example, that just as 400,000 American Negroes received a new outlook on life on account of their war experiences, so citizens of the United States and other countries received SATURDAY. JANUARY 5. 1924 EN THIS L'L'OL' TUB GETS TUNED DON'T DO NUTHIN' BUT MAKE TIME Heart to Heart Talks HEALTH—SOCIOLOGY— ECONOMICS By the School of Public Health, Howard University Algernon B. Jackson, M.D. Director I spent last summer in the South- land, where the greatest number of our people still live in spite of the unceasing trek to the North. Every- where, everyone, black and white, was more than anxious to talk about the one thing uppermost in the minds of southerners, the migration of the Negro. One of the clearest thinking Negroes I have ever met summed up the whole situation in a single remark when he said, "Migration is best for those who are going and best for those who stay, for it is causing both groups and the whole South to do more thinking than any of them have done for many a day." What an interesting old Negro I met one day! His wrinkled parchment-like visage seamed with the mysteries of ages dim, brought out in bold relief a facial contour which at once marked him as a kinsman of some ancient Rameses. I talked with him. He was wise with a wisdom you and I can never know. What a pity we are allowing these old philosophers of our race to die out, and without recording their cryptic utterances. 'Of course, we talked of migration. Yes, he wants to go, and in spite of his ninety years he expects to go with his grandson. Says he, "Dese here white folks don't want us' to go no whar 'ceptin Heaven, and they dung-got it all figgered out 'cordin' to their idea of Hev'n de gold paved streets that is full of Jim Crow signs. And dey shua don't want us to go to Hell—whar many of them shua is goin'—case they dur figgered dat Hell is de place niggers and white folks got to 'sociate together—equal. Umph! but aint we goin' to fool em? I kinda think we's foolin' them now 'fore we dies." Every white person to whom I talked concerning this all absorbing topic expressed deep regret in terms which may be summarized thus; "We hate to see our colored folks,"—please note they now call us "colored folks"—"leave this fine climate only to go North and die from pneumonia and tuberculosis. Their health is just not strong enough to stand the cold up North and we would like to see them stay here where their Health is always better." What are markable and tender interest the white South has developed concerning the health of "our colored folks" who go North, and at the same time do little less than nothing for the health of "our colored folks" who stay at home. But the big thought in the whole matter is that the weakest point in our whole armour is pretty generally recognized and gets constantly widening advertisement. What are we going to do about it? When you enter into discussion with the Southern whites, comparing the wages, social conditions and economics of the North with those of the South, they struggle hard to meet your argument. They point out that though wages are larger and expense of living, because that more. ing counterbalances that item. Mention the freedom in the North from "Jim Crow" and they try to convey to you the thought that they had never sensed the Negro's unhappiness under prescription. The "Jim Crow" principle is a religion with the average Southerner, and even any attempt to attack it is regarded as a sacrilege committed within his "Holy of Holies." Thus two strong forces have met, and time alone will determine the result. On one side is lined up the stubborn determination of the South to hold on to its oppressive and repressive traditions and on the other a new insight into the capabilities of American Negroes by studying their loyal, intelligent service.

In most instances the Negro quits the South reluctantly, but he is determined not to co-operate with a system in which he is always the goat, so he goes away even though it be at a sacrifice. At just about the same time both the South and the Negro have recognized that migration is a mighty efficient method of protest and attack, costly to both. Therefore, it is purely an economic struggle in which the South stands to lose more than the Negro every time, just as it is doing at present. Migration is a blow which strikes at the economical heart of the South, and we all pause to view with anxiety the state of its health. Heart attacks are usually pretty serious. From what I have just seen of the South I am confident that migration is destined to greatly reshape its policy and attitude toward the Negro, as a result of which both will eventually gain much fatter having lost much during the period of readjustment. Migration is on epocal event which not only effects the South and the Negro, but the entire nation, emphasizing as it does the economic values of a large American group heretofore neglected, and if considered at all, taken for granted.

We Positively Do Not Disappoint 918-20-22 U STREET, N.W. By Watson Jim W. Kearns America, and on most every hand attempts are being made to fashion a kindler feeling toward our black citizens and countrymen. It is to be supposed that in such a critical moment great sectional and racial leaders would be developed each to champion his side of the struggle. But strange to say, this has not happened and the whole episode remains a group movement in which the Negro is the most positive factor and active aggressor. To my mind this demonstrates a very definite step in race evolution in which the Negro has developed the virility, stamnia and manhood to think and act for himself in the matter of self-preservation, which after all is the only safe and sane process. Even the white South with its usual highly developed resourcefulness in handling "our colored folks" has not produced a single leader with sufficient power to persuade his people to meet the situation in a purely human way. Attempts at legislation are a miserable failure, always tending to fan the flame brighter and stimulating greater numbers to migrate. Let us not deceive ourselves, however, for the South knows exactly what steps to take in order to make this wonderful land a fit place for Negroes to live in, but the whites are too stubborn to even partially surrender certain traditions which have made them more callous than just. No white Jatson leader in the South has yet mustered up the courage to urge the righteous solution of the situation. So the trek to the North continues as the leaderless hordes sweep on, guided by something spiritual, the lure of freedom its song. We wish to correct the mistake concerning the Cardinal Gibbons Charity Club which appeared in The Tribune last week. The error was made by the person who sent it in. The club did not give tea parties but, it did give a social entertainment. The money reported was given by each of the 25 ladies of the club which is composed of: Mrs. Elizabeth Greenleaf, president; Mrs. Mattie Booker, vice-president; Mrs. Edward Chaney; Mrs. Rosina Brown; Mrs. Carrie Brown; Mrs. Susie Wheeler; Mrs. Maria Clark; Mrs. Matilda Curtiss; Mrs. Annie May Mrs. Rosa Lacy; Mrs. Cecelia Morgan; Mrs. Elnora Woody; Mrs. Nettie Williams; Mrs. Maggie Burgess; Miss Nanie Butler; Miss Bessie Dossett; Miss Mamie White; Miss Lillian Clark; Miss Mary Burgess; Miss Annie Gray; Miss Josephine Gray; Mrs. Mary Ivery; Mrs Susie Freeman; Mrs. Agnes Chaney, and Mrs. Bessie Stewart.

Here is the confession: "Alabama's action is the logical outgrowth of the system of disfranchisement of American citizens which preyails in every state of the Democratic 'Solid South,' in violation of the United States Constitution and in defiance of the principles of representative government."

If there has not been an honest election in the solid South for the past twenty-five years, who is responsible for it? The Republicans, of course.

In spite of this very full social program, the convention stood out as probably the most successful in the history of the fraternity for the amount of constructive work accomplished. The plans for a business reorganization of the fraternity which were adopted at Philadelphia last year came up for review and a number of readjustments were made in the light of the experience gained in the operation of the plans during the past year. Forty-seven Chapters in Membership Vice-Grand Basileus John W.

This increase of 19 chapters during the year, he stated, was caused by the greatly increased influence of the fraternity and the demand being made for chapters in the various schools and cities of the country. In addition to the 47 existing chapters, five others have been authorized and will be established early in the year. Several applications for --- PAGE SIX 1922, at the Post Office at Washington 179.

The Re- charters were disapproved. Serious attention was given by the convention to the rising tide of international thought and the necessity for the colored race in America to take steps to project itself into this thought in order that it may receive a fair hearing before the bar of world opinion. Foreign Scholarship Fund Created It was decided that one way in which this could be done was to increase the number of colored students who are travelling and studying in the various educational centers of the world. To aid in bringing this about the convention established a foreign scholarship fund from which to award annually scholarships to students for the purpose of enabling them to pursue graduate study in foreign countries. The first foreign scholarship will be awarded this year. The conditions under which the award will be made are to be announced later from the administrative offices of the fraternity at Washington, D. C. It is hoped that this precedent will be adopted and followed by other fraternities and sororities in order that a steady stream of students may be kept flowing to other countries, where they shall not only be masters in various fields of education and science but where they may, through contact, place the colored race in America in the proper light before the world.

Mr. Nelson has accepted the chairmanship of the foreign scholarship committee. Rev. A. L. Gaines of Baltimore, Maryland, who has been prominently spoken of for a bishopric in the African Methodist Episcopal Church, received the unanimous endorsement of the convention. Rev. Gaines has had a very successful career in the connection and stands out easily as one of the strongest men in his denomination. Attorney J. Alston Atkins of Muskogee, Oklahoma was re-elected unanimously the Grand Basileus of the fraternity as was also Attorney Campbell C. Johnson, of Washington, D.C., as Grand Keeper of Records. Attorney John W. Love was er-elected Vice-Grand Basileus, and Prof. William Gilbert, National Treasurer. Mr. C. Herbert Marshall, Jr., of Washington, D.C., was unanimously elected Grand Marshal. On Sunday morning, December 30th, a committee of this fraternity placed a wreath on the tomb of Elijah Lovejoy (at Alton, Ill.) to commemorate his efforts in the cause of abolition. Public Session At the public session Sunday afternoon the people of St. Louis were given an opportunity to hear a galaxy of orators such as have seldom met upon one platform on the same occasion. John W. Love spoke on the history and ideals of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity; William Stuart Nelson delivered an address on the theme, The American Negro and International Thought, and Rev. A. L. Gaines spoke on "The Negro." Each of these speeches were masterpieces of oratory and will be reported in full in the spring issue of the "Oracle Magazine," the official organ of the fraternity. Republicans Admit South is Lawless Republicans Admit South is Lawless (Continued from page 1) But the evil extends higher and further. A state's vote in the electoral college is based upon its representation in both branches of Congress. The "Solid South" casts 114 electoral votes in every presidential election. Everybody knows that these votes are sure to be cast for the Democratic nominee regardless of who he is or for what he stands. Everybodys knows this is true because honest elections and the free exercise of the franchise is impossible in any of the "Solid South" states. The Republican party starts into every presidential campaign with a handicap of 114 votes to overcome before it can "begin even" with the Democratic party in a contest for the Presidency. There are certain states in the North which are battlegrounds for every presidential campaign. If the Republicans, after an intensive fight, succeed in carrying New York, Indiana, New Jersey, Ohio, Nebraska and West Virginia they have succeeded merely in carrying enough states to balance the 114 electoral votes from the "Solid South" and they must then go out and beat the Democratic party in the remaining northern states. Or, to put it another way: Democratic disfranchisement of Republican voters gives to the "Solid South" in every presidential election, without any contest whatever, a sufficient number of electoral votes to wipe out the electoral votes of the Republican states of Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Maine, Illinois, Iowa and Kansas. The Democratic "Solid South" attempts to justify its defiance of the Constitution, its disfranchisement of American citizens, its undermining of representative government, its pollution of elections, upon the ground that its action is necessary in order to have a "white man's government." If that be true then it should be limited in its representation in the House of Representatives and in the electoral college to the number of white men in the South who govern. That would give the South a "white man's government" in exact proportion to the white man's government in the rest of the country.

Some time ago she showed signs of possessing an unusual voice, and after studying sporadically she was brought to the notice three years ago of Guiseppe Boghetti, the well known vocal teacher of New York and Philadelphia. Mr. Borghetti was very much impressed by her voice and immediately took Miss Anderson under his wing. Her success has been remarkable and now she bids fair to rival that other colored singer, Roland Hayes. Among the engagements filled by this artist during 1923 were Cleveland, Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Boston, Philadelphia, New York City and Lynchburg, Va. "Miss Anderson was one of the artists to appear at the May Festival held in Winston-Salem 1923. The Winston-Salem Journal said: "Marian Anderson was accorded one ovation after another. She sang many encores in response to the clamorous requests of the vast audience. Her marvelous voice appeared to be even better than usual. She was accorded round after round of applause. She has a rich, deep contralto with a range that reaches the higher notes. These she sings with a smoothness and ease that stir her audience to unfeigned admiration." Miss Anderson will give her Washington recital at the Lincoln Theater on Wednesday afternoon, January 16, at 5:15 o'clock, under the management of the Artists' Course Committee. According to present indications the house will have a capacity audience. Roland Hayes Visits Nashville The coming of Roland Hayes was a delight to the music lovers of Nashville. He comes back to Tennessee after a triumphant tour of Europe and Africa. The voice of this sweet singer was last heard in Nashville in the Spring of 1921. As a student of Fisk University and one of the Jubilee Singers, he sang often in and about Nashville in student days. Since that time however, he has finished a most sensational tour abroad. His recital was a notable success and was given under the auspices of his Alma Mater, Fisk University.

Let the customer think he's buying, don't try to sell him—that's the way women work during courtship, the salesmanship period of their lives. Some people thrive and others just wilt under kindness. The Federal Reserve Banking System The development of the Negro business enterprises is greatly handicapped by the lack of capital. sity secured the Ryman* Auditorium for this occasion, December 15th, and was fully as happy to bring to Nashville the great singer as he was to serve his college with his voice." Sonoma Talley in Nashville "Miss Sonoma Talley, who is specializing in music and who has gained many honors in New York during her stay as student, appeared in recital at Fisk University and at the A. and I. State Normal. "The Music Directress of Fisk sent out the following item concerning Miss Talley: 'Miss Sonoma Carolyn Talley, pianist, graduate of Fisk University and of the Damrosch Institute of Musical Art, appeared in the following program. She chosed for her opening number the Busoni transcription of Bach's Chaconne in D minor. It was not only a tremendous test of the young woman's pianistic powers, but it called upon the audience for sophisticated understanding. Miss Talley showed a developed technique that easily compassed the taxing demands of the composition and she gave a reading that showed intellectual and spiritual essence. These qualities were more in evidence in the second group. The young pianist played a Scherzo (Grieg), 'To a Water Lily' (MacDowell), a Prelude in A Minor (Debussy), full of modernistic contrasting dynamics and disseances and 'La Campanella' (Paganini) as transcribed for piano by Liszt. This last was most delightfully rendered, and evidenced more than any other number of the evening Miss Talley's lightsome gracefulness of conception and cantabile quality of tone.' " A Coming Piano Recital by Miss Goldie Guy of Chicago, a prominent Student of the Chicago Piano College, at John Wesley A.M.E. Zion Church, Monday, January 14, 1924. F. 8520. The H. J. Callis Circle of Metropolitan Wesley A. M. E. Zion church will introduce Miss Guy to the music lovers of Washington on the above date. Watch the paper for further notice. Miss Guy is teacher of Piano in Howard University, and is the only instructor in the history of Music in the conservatory. Many a good business has gone to naught because of the lack of funds for the employment of labor and the purchase of raw material. To remove this handicap, Negroes must pool their little interests and put their small sums together so as to make one great sum which can be used to develop their enterprises. The Federal Government has established a banking system which will aid us in this; but we will have to organize and present certain qualifications to avail ourselves of the financial resources of the government. The Negro business men can use the funds of Federal Reserve Bank; the Negro farmer, those of the Rural Credit System; but he does not, because he has not arranged to receive these advantages of working capital through the channels provided by the government. The white man does, not merely because he is a white man. —Nashville Union-Review but because he has pooled his money, built great banks, and piled up large deposits in his banks which meets the qualifications for membship in the Reserve and Rural Credit System. As a result, his banks can borrow money from the government through the Federal Reserve Bank and Credit System and make him a loan at a living rate for the operation of his business. The Negro has no bank which is a member of the Federal Reserve System. Neither has he one which has [Name] Another poet turned out anew was just as beautiful, but he with each new day, that it knw will open may sup with it.
