Vol. 3, No. 46 RACE CONGRESS TO FINANCE BUREAU Staff will keep Race informed on important political topics The National Race Congress in its ninth session at Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, this city this week, voted to establish an information and service charge of it. This bureau is to watch the legislative machinery and look after the race's interests. It also agreed to organize a women's auxiliary. Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham is to take an active part in organizing this branch. The Congress met with a definite program and altho the delegations have been small, much work has been accomplished. In establishing the bureau referred to it will render the race tangible service. The Congress also determined that it will push the enforcement of all the amendments to the constitution; it will urge the elimination of the photograph with the application for a civil service position; and it will ask the president to issue an executive order doing away with segregation in the departments of the government in Washington. Many notable men have addressed the Congress at this session. Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard University, delivered the welcome address on behalf of the Commissioners of the District. Dr. C. C. Somerville, of Portsmouth, who has been called to Boston, Mass., delivered a powerful discourse on "Occupy Until 1 Come." Mr. Walter J. Millard, field secretary of the legiae on proportional representation, enlightened the Congress on the possibilities of this subject. Congressman Emanuel Celler of New York told of his bill before Congress to create an interracial commission to look after the welfare of the Negro in this country. Dr. J. C. Austin of Pittsburgh, made a strong address supporting the Bureau. Music for the sessions have been furpished by the choir of Mt. Carmel Church and the Amphion Glee Club. The Women's session on Thursday afternoon was well attended and the addresses pointed and pertinent to the general question of law enforcement. Friday was given over to winding up of the business sessions and the election of officers. Suburban Gardens Opens May 15 Suburban Gardens Opens May 15 This, the fourth season of the Suburban Gardens, (Washington's favorite colored amusement park) should be its best for the reason that lavish preparations have been made to present the latest amusement devices and attractions. Among the new things expected to be ready for the opening day, May 15, are: The Famous Caterpillar Ride, which ingratiated itself with the public over night; A Dogem- Junior which is a most fascinating, and captivating joy maker; and a large theatre where clean, wholesome and enjoyable musical acts will be presented. The various rides used in the former years, and the midway of novelties are being put into condition and many improvements are being incorporated into all parts of the park that more for the money than ever before might be given to the patrons. For these reasons the officials of the park when interview were very optimistic and predicted that a very big season would be enjoyed by the patrons, concessionaires, and the owners, and operators. The old-fashioned Mother who used to worry about the children on cold winter nights now sends her husband out to the garage with an extra blanket for the car. The Washington Tribune DR.

CROSSLAND PASSING WORT AT MISSOURI St. Joseph, Mo., Special—Dr. J. R. A. Crossland, ex-special Technical Assistant in the Veterans Bureau and for a while, a physician at the Veter- ans Hospital at Tuskegee, is again in trouble. This time he is involved on a charge of passing bad checks. The checks were passed by Dr. Crossland while attending the Republican convention. Dr. Crossland was arrested and was arraigned in Justice Hesler's court and released under bond of $500 to appear for trial. He is charged with giving Charles T. Phelps, negro barber, 216 Francis street, a check for $120 drawn last summer on the Metropolitan Trust company, Washington, D.C. At that time Doctor Crossland was employed in the veteran's bureau from which he recently resigned. According to Crossland the check was given in good faith. At the time he had a joint account with his wife with whom he was having domestic trouble and she drew heavily on the account without his knowledge he said. Dr. Crossland has received much notoriety because of his matrimonial affairs. The last Mrs. Crossland now has a suit pending and names in her bill a prominent society matron Says Howard Fa Without S Dr. D. W. Sherrod of Meridian, Miss., Chairman of the Republican State Committee, was in Washington this week in the interest of his delegation that will go to Cleveland. While here Dr. Sherrod told a Tribune reporter of the split in party in Mississippi.* Dr. Sherrod branded as untrue the story sent out last March by Perry W. Howard, special assistant to the Attorney General about the split. Dr. Sherrod brought with him here all the documents necessary to show beyond a reasonable doubt that Perry W. Howard has greatly misrepresented the facts. Accompanying Dr. Sherrod here, was State Secretary, Edward F. Brennan (white). Dr. D. W. SHERROD According to these men, the Howard faction of the party is without standing in the state. In fact, according to their claims, Perry W. Howard attended the convention carrying an illegal proxy. Their story of the affair was as follows: "During the meeting of the committee held at Jackson, Miss., February 5th, the Secretary, Dr. D. W. Sherrod, announced that there were eighteen members present in person and three members present by proxy, including the void and illegal proxy of Martin De Vaux held by Perry W. Howard; making a total of twenty-one members present. The Secretary, Dr. D. W. Sherrod, then read the minutes of the last meeting of the Republican State Executive WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, MAY 3, 1924 of Chicago, known as the doctor's "Baby Doll." While in Savannah, Ga., at the State Normal Industrial School he called his "Baby Doll" in Chicago up over lon gdistance; the bill amounted to nearly $25. Dr. Crossland left the school without paying the bill and the Principal had it to pay. A futile attempt was made to collect this amount from Dr. Crossland. Dr. J. R. A.' Crossland while working in the Veterans Bureau in Washington, wrote Director Hines to the effect that if he was given a position at the Veterans Hospital, Tuskegee, Ala., he would go there with some good white man and quiet the Negroes who were then demanding a complete colored staff. In the bargaining that ensued, Dr. Crossland closed his office in the Veteran's Bureau, and thereby put nearly a dozen colored workers out of jobs. Dr. Crossland stayed at Tuskegee a little over three months before he was kicked out. He then returned to Missouri his home state. Since going back to Missouri he had been actively engaged in trying to put over his candidacy for a place on the state delegation to the Republican National Convention which will be held in Cleveland. At this juncture M. H. Daily, acting chairman, announced that he desired to make a statement to the committee and thereupon introduced a certain agreement purporting to have been signed by the Mulvihill and Ligon factions, reorganizing the committee. The agreement was read by Mr. Daily after which he stated that he desired the committee to vote upon the adoption or rejection of the said agreement. The question was put and resulted in the rejection of the agreement by a vote of twelve to eight. Chairman Daily, after announcing the vote, then asked all members of the committee who had favored the adoption of the agreement to move over to his right side. When six of the members had walked to his right side including Perry Howard, thereafter he declined to recognize any other members of the committee, save those constituting the minority of six; in this this number was included the illegal proxy of Martin De Daux held by Perry W. Howard. The other faction withdrew, carrying their majority to another room for the completion of their meeting. Dr. Sherrod declared that there is nothing strange or new about this matter. He said that Perry Howard in this matter is simply running true to form. It seems that Mr. Howard has long since decreed that when it comes to Mississippi politics in so far as the republican side of the matter goes he simply must have his way or have a contest. It is difficult to see what Mr. Howard can hope to gain from breaking with the majority of the leaders in his state and setting up a rump convention of his own as it seems clear was done in this case. For many years Dr. D. W. Sherrod served as Secretary of the State Republican Executive Committee of Mississippi and now he is chairman of the committee. Unlike many of the cheap hat in the hand politicians he is a man of character, intelligence, integrity, and money. DENIES WHITE SUPERIORITY IS A FACT Noted Anthropologist points to African Civilization Philadelphia—The members of the American Philosophical Society spent the afternoon today listening to a hot debate by anthropologists on the question "Are the various races of man potentially equal?" The theory that the so-called Nordics have a superiority among the white races was dismissed lightly, and the debate narrowed down to the issue whether there exists any inherent superiority of the white races over the black. The majority of the speakers contended that there was no real evidence of white superiority. When the subject was thrown open to general discussion, one speaker at the school of Lotrop Stoddard and Madison Grant, asked if there was not evidence on every side of the supremacy of the whites, in the great civilizations built up by the white races as against the barrenness of achievements by the Africans. Reminded of Mother of Civilization "But a few thousand years ago," replied Dr. Franz Boas, America's leading anthropologist, "the Egyptians might have said the same thing of the whites. Looking at the backwardness of the white races, they might have said, "They are shiftless, superstitious, mentally inferior and nothing can ever be made of them." He added that the reason a very old one, that civilization was a very new thing, and that it was a mistake to judge the potentialities of different races by their standing at the present time. The shattered cause of white superiority was argued by H. U. Hall, orator of general ethnology of the museum of the University of Pennsylvania, who declared that: (Continued on page 6) Life Insurance: The Corporation (Written for the Federal Life Insurance Company By Simeon Cunningham) Man's activity may be divided in the main into two classes out of which grow the nature or character of corporation he creates. On the one hand we have those activities to which they are driven by necessity, by hunger, by lack of the comforts of life, or by the desire of accumulation out of which group we see formulated manufacturing and public service corporations on the other hand, and those activities which have their motives in the higher impulses—in affection and in the sentiments of duty, justice and charity and out of the group actuated by the higher ideals there spring schools, libraries, churches, asylums and life insurance companies. The corporations of the later group except in their general bearing on the welfare of the State, are more like private business in their functioning. They, particularly Life Insurance, take corporate form in order to secure strength, effective management and permeity. Life Insurance Corporations differ greatly from the corporations of the first group, yet, despite the seeming discrepancy in the scope of its charter rights, they form one of the most potent groups in high finance. It secures by its charter no control over private property and no privileges which are not free to all Life Companies. It claims no right on eminent domain occupies no public thorough-fare: strings no wires overhead or underground; digs up no streets; pollutes no atmosphere; new companies are readily created and no monopoly is possible. Life Insurance is not something that people can't live without nor something that the whole community comes to depend on. It is rather something that—no one is vitally interested in, or dependent upon, except those who voluntarily engage in it, either as insurers or insured. DR. CANNON HEADS N.J. DELEGATES-AT-LARGE TO G. O. P. NATIONAL CONVENTION C. M. E. Conference Closes; Will Meet Here in 1925 GEORGIA POLITICS COLLEGE WOMEN INVOLVED IN CONVENE HERE Newark, N. J., May 1—Running as a candidate for delegate-at-large on the Collidge ticket, Dr. George E. Cannon of this city led his party's ticket in the recent elections. Dr. Cannon topped the seven delegates with a record vote of 162,365. His lead over his nearest man was 888. This is the third time in the history of New Jersey that a Negro has been elected as a delegate-at-large to a national convention. Dr. W. G. Alexander, of Orange ran as alternate to Dr. Cannon. The Washington-Philadelphia Conference of the C.M.E. Church closed its 52nd session last Sunday evening in Baltimore, Md. The conference was held in the Union Wesley Church, Mount and Baker Streets. The presiding Bishop, Randall A. Carter, D.D., was more than pleased with the work done in the conference during the last year. Several new churches have been added and the number of members greatly increased. Bishop Charles H. Phillips, D.D., of Cleveland, Ohio, at one time pastor of the Israel Metropolitan C.M.E. Church in this city was engaged with Bishop Carter in hold. The financial reports for the year were the best ever made in this conference, and quite a number of organizations were helped. About $300 was donated to the Y.M.C.A. work of which Dr. C. H. Tobias is International Secretary. Dr. Tobias is a member of this conference thought his work kept GEORGIA POLITICS INVOLVED IN PHILLIPS CASE The long waited trial of John L. Phillips, wealthy lumberman and politician of Georgia, for alleged defrauding the government was begun Wednesday morning before Justice Bailey in the District Supreme Court. Phillips represents the Lily-white faction of the Republican Party in Georgia. Henry Lincoln Johnson, duly accredited National Committeeman, does not function in this office as the State's patronage is handled through Phillips, who also calls himself National Committeeman. Phillips along with some of his business associates is accused of defrauding the government out of over one million dollars' worth of lumber. If he is proved guilty, it will eliminate him in Georgia politics. The case will also affect the contest at the next National convention which will be held in Cleveland in June. The elimination of Phillips gives Henry Lincoln Johnson more power in Georgia. "Line" is now busy trying to get his delegation ready for the convention, where it will be contested. Because of its nature and the nature of its appeal, linked with the soundness of its working basis and the effective system of management, Life Insurance stands first in the list of safe corporate forms. In the Federal Life Insurance Company, incorporated under the laws of the United States in the District of Columbia, you will find exemplified all the corporate limitations that go to make up an efficient body plus all the attributes that go to make a life insurance company. The vindication of the methods is to be found in its growing list of satisfied policyholders. If you have not already done so, become a link in the chain of "the company of service and satisfaction."

Zion Church. COLLEGE WOMEN CONVENE HERE With delegates representing a number of States and nearly a score of colleges and universities, The National Association of College Women which met at the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A. last week, made the temporary organization a permanent one, with Dean Lucy D. Slowe, president, and Mrs Laey Holmes, secretary-treasurer. They executed a program that was practical and definite. On the binder-cen topic: "Has the College women a contribution to make e to society?" This subject was discussed by Miss Dorothy Pelham and Miss Clarissa Scott. In response to the question: "What can college women do to improve the social and intellectual life of their communities?" many pertinent questions were asked and suggestions offered. Miss Frances Williams, of New York City, gave many helpful suggestions and illustrations. Miss Eva Dykes, of Dumbar High School, this city asked these pertinent questions: "How many people live in your block?" "How many of them do you know?" "Would you be missed if you should move out of the neighborhood?" Dr. Carter G. Woodson, director of the association for the study of Negro life and history, addressed the association Saturday evening on "Negro History in Relation to the Colored Woman." He mentioned many new facts of Negro women in history. Dean Slowe, the president of the associatoin, delivered a pointed, and progressive address and Miss Zita Dyson answered the question. "Are international scholarships desirable and practical?" The delegation was received by President Coolidge Saturday. Receptions were given in honor of the visiting college women by the women of Howard University, the Alpha Kappa Alpha and Delta Sigma Theta Sororities and by the College Alumnae Club of Washington. The next annual convention will be held in Baltimore, Md. Washington's Best Advertising Medium. Price 5 Cents PARENTS LEAGUE FACTOR IN COMMUNITY LIFE Many worthy charities assisted by organization during year So busy are many of the people of Washington and so little interested are others that they know very little about the real things that go on right in their midst. In this city there are many organizations that are doing a much needed work, but receive little if any credit for it. In this group are a number of civic organizations. Many of these organizations never call on the public for support. One of the most outstanding of these organizations is the Parents League. This organization is composed of parents representing every strata of our daily life and every section of the city. So quiet does this organization go about its work, that very few people know of the wonderful charitable work it is doing every day. Learning from one of the families that had been aided by this organization, this paper began an investigation recently and found that the Parents League has helped numbers of people during the last few years. The Parents League drawing upon its own resources, during this school year has furnished shoes to over a dozen school children and clothing to twice that number, thus enabling them to continue their schooling. The league found that many children of limited circumstances were remaining from school because of the lack of willing to stand the embarrassment of wearing worn clothes; and therefore remained away from school. Through the efforts of the league, many of these children have been enabled to continue their studies. The League maintains a regular sewing circle, whose duty it is to need clothes of unfortunate children; these members give their time freely assisting unfortunate girls and boys. "A stitch in time saves nine is quite true," said a member of the circle. "But sometime, a stitch in time will keep a student in school also," she added. / In addition to the kind of assistance given students, the League assists in keeping children in school by checking up on them. This year alone a number of students have been rounded up for various kindergarten classes. The Parents League does not confuse its activities to school children alone; the League maintains legal aid for those who are brought before the Juvenile Court. This service is given the unfortunate juvenile free. If the court paroles them the League will assist them in going straight. The League each year gives to its fullest extent to the Christmas opportunities as published by the Associated Charities. The League is also a contributing member of the Associated Charities. Members of the League are active in all civic movements. The School work is but part of its activities. Its members include some of the most progressive people in the city. League meetings are held once a month. Most of the work of the League is done through its various committees. Like many other organizations, the Parents League is just finding its real mission in the community. Many of its progressive ideas have been inaugurated during the past two years, during which time Attorney Charles S. Hill has been its president. Under his leadership the League has settled down to a charitable program that is not covered by any other like organization in the city. As head of the Parents League, Attorney Hill has gained a deep knowledge of the needs of the community, and through his knowledge has been able to council with those in authority as to the immediate needs in the various sections, much to the benefit of all concerned. It would greatly benefit a number of citizens if they would just investigate some of the organizations in their midst, that are acting as silent partners of the poor and unfortunate. LOCALS AND SOCIETY PAGE TWO 13112445 Chi Delta Mu Assembly Brilliant Social Event ```markdown ``` Murray Casino a Veritable Flower Garden The Easter Assembly of the Alpha and Lambda chapters of the Chi Delta Mu Fraternity given in honor of the delegates and visitors to the annual Convention of the Fraternity held in Baltimore was one of the most brilliant social events ever given in the city of Washington. The affair was held in the beautiful Murray Casino on the night of April 25, and it will live long in the memory of all who were fortunate enough to be present. Arriving at the Casino, the guests were escorted through an electrically lighted canopy which extended from the curb to the entrance. The corridors were elaborately decorated with palms and festoons of the colors of the fraternity. The ballroom was converted into a veritable fairyland by decorations, which according to the best informed, exceeded anything ever seen in this city. The White Brothers' Orchestra furnished the music for the dancing which lasted from 10 p.m. until 3 a.m. Space will not permit us to enumerate the names of the guests, but it is no exaggeration to say that nearly every person of importance in the social, political and intellectual groups were present. The officials of the local chapters have been the recipients of the highest praise for the staging of this affair which is regarded as a landmark in the social history of the Capital. The convention at Baltimore was a success from every angle and much constructive work was done. New York City will entertain the Fraternity during Easter week of 1925. Miss Ethel Peyton, a teacher in the local schools, of 330 T Street, N.W., had as guests Easter Mrs. Viola Carter and Mrs. Josephine Keen of Philadelphia. Mrs. Keene was also Miss Lydia G.

One hundred and fifty people, all members of the school, compose the cast. This production will have the expert assistance of N. L. Guy and Alston Burleigh together with the cooperative effort of the entire faculty and student body of Shaw Junior High School. The reason some people don't smile oftener is because they're not sure their teeth will stay in place. A. Dr. Charles S. Harris, a graduate of Howard recently purchased Schneider's Drug Store, 316 4½ Street, Southwest, and is now operating it under his management. Schneider's Drug Store is one of the oldest stands in the city a drug store being in operation there for the last sixty years. The location is ideal in every respect, being on one of the principal streets in the Southwest section. Dr. Harris came to Washington about twelve years ago from Texas. He entered the Academy at Howard University; although he had just enough money to keep him for one week he was not discouraged. He completed his academic course and entered college. After one year of pre-medical study, he entered the school of Pharmacy from which he graduated in 1823. Dr. Harris has labored persistently and by saving his money he was able to purchase Schneider's Drug Store with his own resources. He is married and has one child. SENATOR ATTACKS TEACHERS' PAY BILL Unexpected developments in the teachers' salary question, now pending before Congress, caused a slight delay in its progress last week, when it was learned that Senator King of Utah, a member of the Senate sub-committee, was not satisfied with certain provisions and had served notice on his colleague, Senator Capper of Kansas, that he intended to offer such amendments, as he thought necessary, to frame the measure, as he believed it should be. Whether the Senator can induce his associate to feel as he does and have the changes he advocates made, is somewhat doubtful. It is generally known Senator Copper, who is in charge, does not altogether agree with his co-worker and is of the opinion that the bill should be reported from their position in the same shape it came from the house. Senator King has given the assurance, that his opposition to the measure, in the present form, will not in any way delay the bill, in reaching the floor of the upper house, at the time it should. When pressed for a statement the other day, Senator King intimated that, while he favored adequate pay for the teachers of Washington, he felt that the scale of salaries allowed in the Keller measure were in some respects too much and should be reduced. This view, however, is not universally held and many members in both Houses expressed themselves as being perfectly willing to go the limit in voting better pay for the teachers when the issue came up for a Congressional "show down." HOWARD SCHOOL OF RELIGION With the campaign for $500,000 for the Endowment and Building Fund for the School of Religion of Howard University barely underway, thirty-five workers at a dinner given last evening, Friday, April 25th, in the New Dining Hall of the University, reported a total of $21,536.40 pledged to the fund by people of the District of Columbia. The workers in the campaign have set $50,000 as the amount to be secured from the people of this city and are most enthusiastic over the success which has thus far come from their efforts. The group of workers is growing each day. A large number of new teams were organized last evening with the appointment of additional captains. In the report of pledges last evening were given $1000, given by Dr. Sterling N. Brown and George B. Robinson, one of $500 given by John T. Rhines, and one of $300 by Dr. M. W. Norman. Among those who spoke at the campaign workers' dinner were Garnet C. Wilkinson, Assistant Superintendent of Schools of the District of Columbia, and Dr. James L. Pinn. Each worker pledged himself to "go over the top" in the matter of raising the $50,000 set as the amount to be secured from the people of the District of Columbia for the Endowment and Building Fund of the School of Religion of Howard University. "GO TO HIGH SCHOOL—GO TO COLLEGE" DRIVE OPENS THIS WEEK Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity will conduct its Fifth Annual "Go to High School—Go to College" Campaign beginning Sunday, May 4th and continuing throughout the week.

Letters, highly endorsing the movement have been received from President Coolidge as well as many of the foremost personages in the field of Education. The appeal, which is made by the fifty-three chapters of the fraternity, has for its purpose the encouragement of the Youth of today in furthering their education, in order to properly equip themselves to be our leaders on tomorrow. A joint committee, headed by Dr. Merrill Curtis and Geo. Dewey Curtis as chairman and associate chairman respectively, represent the two local chapters of Alpha Phi Alpha, Mu Lambda (graduate) and Beta (undergraduate). They have been assisted by the following members of the committee, Dr. W. Garvin, F. French, Mr Olge, J. Robinson, W. Saunders, L. Burbridge, R. Manee and E. Davidson.

AMERICAN WOODMEN The Twenty-Third Anniversary service of Camp No. 3 of the American Woodmen was held at Friendship Baptist Church.

Reynolds as Mistress of Ceremonies; the Friendship choir, led by Chorister Johnson, rendered grand music; devotionals were led by Neighbor Wm. E. Stevenson. A very cordial welcome address was delivered by Deacon Charles Williams; the response given by the Vice Commander Richard Taylor was very timely. The Juvenile exercises, participated in by the children, were encouraging to the "Brush Burners," and delighted all present. The military unit led by Captua Airline made a very creditable showing; Captain Redman was present. Neighbor Frank Johnson introduced the pastor, Dr. D. Y. Campbell, who delivered the sermon. Other notables of the District of Columbia Woodcraft taking part in the exercises were Supervisor, A. T. Washington; Deputy W. H. Airline; District Commander Virgil Franklin and Commander A. P.

Bernard Young, Jr.) Hampton, Va., April—The senior class track team of Hampton Institute recently won the annual inter-clas track and field meet. The athletic contingent of the senior class, forming the most formidable array in the large entry, emerged victorious with a score of 49½ points; the sophomore class made 31 points. The college class were the representatives of the junior class with a score of 14 points. The work-year class came next with 6 points, and the freshman class was last with 4 points. Captain Langston and Coach Smith now have some idea of the work that the "Seasiders' can do. Trials will be held, however, before the inter-collegiate meets to better get an idea of the ability of the men who had the handicap of a somewhat slow track and for those who were away with the baseball team. N. Y. CLUB TO PUT GIRLS' QUINT ON FLOOR* On Tuesday night, March 15th at Hotel Dumas, West 135 Street a group of well-known ladies and gentlemen met and organized the Twentieth Century Club which will put on the floor netx season a basketball team to be known as the Twentieth Century Girls. These girls, all of them stars at their respective positions, are old acquaintances of the basketball world and will strive to excel their fast records. The members are; Corinne Mason, Lillian Dobson, Marie Mahood, Iris Watson, Mae Morrison and Helena Eliasen. The team will play all comers and is open for games as early as now for the coming season. Apply to Chris Huiswould, 36 West 139th Street, care of Turner. The officers of the Twentieth Century Club are; Miss Agneta Elinsen, president; Miss Corinne Mason, vice-president; Miss Helena Elinsen, secretary and Treasurer; Miss Lyra Sixto, chairman of entertainment; George Ralston, chairman of athletic council committee; Chris Huiswould, basketball manager; and John H.

CHARLES WEST vs. NED GOURDIN PENTATHLON CHAMPIONS Lincoln Figures to Win-Hoeward Meet 200 Athletes Competing 200 Athletes Competing With Charles West, the W, & J. super-man in track and football and twice Pentathlon champion at the Penn Relays 1923-24, competing against Ned Gourdin, the Harvard University world record broad jumper and National Pentathlon Champion. 1921-22, track fans in the District will be treated to a class of competition by two of the mots famous athletes in America. Never has Washington been so fortunate as to be host to such an array of athletic luminaries. West and Gourdin will figure in Pentathlon events. Both men show fine form and are expected to give record performances by way of preparation for the Olympic trials to be held next month. Sandy Evans, the Canadian half-mite champion, will show his wares against Ray Contee, the Howard University flash. This ought to be a thrilling race, since Evans figures to give Contee a liberal handicap. The office of the Director of Physical Education is being flooded with entry blanks for the fifth annual track meet. Lincoln University, our most formidable rival, has already entered her winning relay team which copped first place at the Penn Relays in 1923 and 24 and also ten star athletes competing in the several events on the program. On paper this combination is calculated to give all comers a thorough test. Word comes from Willerforce to the effect that ten of the best athletes in the West will be on hand to break our Easterlin records. Hampton sends in a list of a dozen stalwart athletes whose prowess is already known to the fans all over the country. Then comes Miner Normal and her crack high jumper; St. Paul, the wonder school, with a relay team the best in their history. Virginia Union, with Cook the spinner who qualified in his trials and placed third in semi-finals at the Penn Relays, April 26th, and Storer College and Morgan College. It goes without saying that Howard University will meet with more opposition this year than ever before, but it is equally apparent to those on the campus that the Howard athletes are better trained and a better balanced team than any team of former years. High Schools and secondary schools are well represented by Armstrong High; Dumbar High; Shaw Junior High; Randall Junior High; all of Washington, D.C.; Bowle Normal School; Manassas Industrial School; Baltimore High School; Cheney Normal School. All in all, the fifth annual track meet will present more than 200 athletes in a brilliant, spectacular track and field meet. The officials for this meet have been carefully picked because we are anticipating several performance. All officials have had experience and proved efficient in handling track and field meets.

Senator Thomas Heflin of Alabama, Democratic cheer leader in the Senate, during one of his characteristic daily diatribes, said during the Senate "debate" on Monday: "I say he (Denby) was just as guilty as a man would be who loaded a gun, pulled back the hammer and handed it to a bystander and said: 'You shoot this man, I will not shoot him, but I will provide you with the implement with which to shoot him, and you shoot,' and he did shoot, and the man was killed. We would convict-both of them for murder in a court of justice." Yet Heflin himself, while a member of House, loaded a pistol, put it in his hip pocket, got on a crowded Washington street car, and on the ground that a Negro workman on the car was "impudent" to him, pulled the gun, cooked it, aimed it, shot the Negro in the neck. gram which will be on sale on the campus before and during the meet.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, MAY 3, 1924 endangering the lives of thirty people, and with a second shot, intended to finish the job, hit a pedestrian. This happened within three city blocks of the place where Heflin was speaking when he made this statement. Was Heflin convicted in a court of justice? Was he even tried as an ordinary citizen would have been? Not at all. He used his influence as Congressman to prevent prosecution. He went scot free of the penalty of crime for which an ordinary citizen would have gone to jail. And this guilty man arises in the United States Senate, day after day, to raise an outney about Republican "criminals" and to shout his protests against permitting the powerful to escape the penalties of law which governs the "pore" man! What a spectacle! What a leadership! Himself the beneficiary of special privilege in the administration of justice, from behind the shelter of Senatorial immunity Hefflin of Alabama, leads the Democratic-radical host which is out to drive special privilege from power and bring "guilty" Republicans to justice! This situation seems to attract little attention because it is so completely characteristic of the whole tragic comedy in which Hefflin of Alabama plays a stellar role. The National Republican. Denies Peonage in W. Va. Mines (By T. Edward Hill, Director, State Board of Negro Welfare and Statistics) Charleston, W. Va., April 30—The Crusader Service, edited by Cyril V. Briggs, New York, in its release on April 21 carried a news item under an "Olcott, W.Va." date line in which it was charged that "many colored families are held at this place in virtual peonage, that recently more than 100 families were brought in from Southern plantations to work in the mines in the places vacated by union miners who were on strike, that more than 35 families escaped and that a few days ago two workers who were aided by others in making their escape down the creek were arrested by mounted State police and returned past the barracks to the mines." This release was called to my attention and while I was satisfied that it was untrue, yet through the Bureau of Negro Welfare and Statistics I made a personal investigation of every charge contained in the item and find that Mr. Briggs has either been grossly impolus upon by some of his Communist or radical labor associates or his imagination is working overtime, for there is not only not a shred of evidence to back up the charge but nothing has occurred in the vicinity which could be used as a basis for the charge. Oleott is about 30 miles from this city and there are two coal mines nearby. Both of these mines together do not employ 100 colored families and because of the dullness of the coal market they are not now employing half that number. There is not now nor has there been a strike there and no labor trouble has occurred in that section since the "Armed march" of 1921 and then only because some of the marching miners passed that way on their road to Logan County. Inquiries were made of 20 colored miners regarding conditions at Olcott and in the vicinity, and all of them stated that no Negro families from the South or anywhere else had been brought there, that more men are available than there is work to employ them, that there is not now nor has there been a strike upon the two operations at Olcott or in the vicinity. The few colored miners there are contented and doing well. Captain Gaujon, in charge of the State Police in that territory, emphatically denied that any colored men had been arrested for any cause and returned to Olcott, or that any such conditions as described in the release now exist or ever have existed in that section. The State Police there are not mounted and are as splendid a set of officers of the law as can be found anywhere in this country. It is unfortunate that a News Agency should send out such a report without making any effort to ascertain the truth, but it appears that every labor leader, socialist, radical or communist feels that he is licensed to write and send out to the world any kind of falsehood regarding conditions in West Virginia that their red imagination can conceive. That a Negro Agency should be the means of spreading propaganda thru the medium of the Negro press of the country which may tend to prevent thousands of the Race from coming to the one border state which gives to the Race equal industrial opportunities, educational advantages equal to those accorded white people, the privilege of voting and holding offices, both elective and appetitive, is a crime against the Race. West Virginia is classed as a Southern State but here there are no disfranchisement laws, no Jim crow cars, no legal or extra legal segregation in cities and towns, lynchings are rare occurrences and only three years ago the legislature enacted the most stringent anti-lynch law of any state in the United States. Plays or pictures such as "The Birth of a Nation" do not come to this State because in 1919 the legislature passed an Act (without a dissenting vote) prohibiting the showing of such plays or pictures and providing severe penalties for its violation. There are approximately 100,000 Negroes in West Virginia and more than 60 per cent of whom came here from the South during the past twenty years. They came because of the opportunities offered them to work at the coal mines and receive for their labor the same wages that are paid to members of other races doing the same kind of work. Seventy-five per cent of the Negroes of West Virginia work and live upon coal operations where they are educating their children in schools as good as you will find in Washington, D.C., their teachers get the same salary paid to white teachers of the same class and the school terms are of the same length. Peonage has not existed at any time in the coal fields of West Virginia and it does not exist here now. There would be no occasion for peonage in any coal camp at this time because for more than two years there have been several thousand miners constantly out of work. Convict labor is not employed in the mines of this State, nor are prisoners sold to industries or contractors for the payment of fines. In the largest coal producing County in the State, there are five Negro Justices of the Peace elected by the people and in each district in which they are elected white people outnumber Negroes more than two to one. There are many Negro Deputy Sheriffs and Constables in the coal fields of the State and the surest prevention of lynching and peonage is Negro officers armed with the authority of the law and one or two six-shooter guns. There is no State in the Union where more friendly relations exist between the races than here in the mountains of Wst Virginia where numbers of different races work side by side receiving the same wage, live side by side.

Weakness commands little att commands lots of attention and One cannot but admire the protest of Japan against the clause of the proposed immigration bill now in Congress which excludes her nationals from this country. Japan is a strong empire and strength is admired by all nations of this world. The protest of Japan, is giving the authorities of this government no little uneasiness. They do not want to offend one of the strong nations of the world. Contrast the respect shown little Japan and the lack even of decent attention shown Liberia. She requested a loan from the United States of only $5,000,000. Although the last Democratic administration promised the loan, the Harding administration called it off. Did that insult Liberia? If so, it did not give the Harding Administration any uneasiness. And all because of the fact that Liberia is a weak republic. The German Empire was an avowed enemy of this government in the recent World War, and destroyed lives and property of Americans both in and out of this country. But favorable consideration is being given the prospective loan of $100,000,000 to Germany. Japan is putting up a brave fight, and Secretary of State Hughes has suggested a compromise by taking care of the immigration from Japan by treaty. If that goes through, Japan is the winner. The United States does not want to offend Japan, making of her a potential enemy. She realizes that there are more than 12,000,000 Negroes in this country, and the Japanese, being of the darker races, it is hard to surmise, just what position the Negroes on the inside, who have many grievances against this government for its hypocrisy and downright tyranny toward them, would take in case of a conflict. There are some men in this government who realize that you cannot forever burn, hang, mob, mistreat, jim crow, discriminate, disfranchise against, and constantly humiliate ten per cent of the population of this country and feel smug and safe in so doing. The Negro has been looked upon as a weak and docile person occupying space in this country. The ideals of liberty and of manhood are being instilled into him and there is no telling how strong he may prove to be. He is becoming very much displeased, even disgruntled at the un-American, inhuman and unjustified treatment which he is forced to accept. The call of Japan may be incentive for a demonstration of his strength and offer the opportunity to teach this country a much needed lesson. Weakness commands little attention and no respect. Strength commands lots of attention and much respect. Denies White Superiority (Continued from page 1) "The history of the Negro in the New World shows that even where he had been removed from the surroundings in which his own institutions were developed, the mental disposition out of which those institutions were developed had persisted unchanged in essentials. He still leans upon forces outside himself. Denies Negro Progress in U. S. "In the United States and elsewhere this side of the Atlantic such limited progress as the Negro has made is due to white philanthropists and to leaders of mixed races. These are his external superior forces, and he knows it and still leans on them." In his paper, Dr. Boaz argued that no scientific method had been found of measuring the fundamental capacity of different races, as distinct from the mental and moral development due to custom, history, economic and social environment. "Claimants for the superiority of the white race," he continued, "point out its position in the modern world. From this they conclude that the white race is the only one that could or can ever achieve eminence, and this is due to its hereditary qualities. In order to prove the weakness of this argument we need only consider the conclusions that a Maya Indian at time of the height of the development of his civilization might have drawn from a comparison of his culture with conditions in Northwestern Europe. The Nordic was then an uncutt barbarian, without arts and without knowledge to be compared with those of the Maya. Would not the Maya be justified like our modern race enthusiasts in calling the Nordic an inferior race that could never achieve eminence?" Japanese smashed Superiority Bug Dr. Alexander Goldenqenlser, of the New School for Social Research also insisted that there was no real evidence of fundamental white superiority. He said that a similar prejudice existed against the Japanese until their victory over Russia caused a general recognition of the fact that there was no necessary inferiority to the white race. He added that skulls prove nothing. Some people are, so ingenious in making explanations that they don't try to avoid making mistakes. The kicks, as well as the compliments, should be routed to the boss' desk. PAGE SIX 1922, at the Post Office at Washington, 1929.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, MAY 3. 1924 SOMETHING OF INTEREST The Great Issue... Missouri Negroes Threaten G. O. P. In an age of investigations in the conduct and progress of government, what is the great issue? As is customary every four years, we are about to submit our Government to a vote. Those things which have no direct political bearing: the policies and administration of Territorial affairs, the co- A. B. the budget, are far, removed from the legislative and executive mind . Senators and Representatives, while politics fill the air and thought, prepare carefully every speech with the hope that some political leader or newspaper editor may see in it the emanations of the man worthy to pilot the Ship of State. They have spoken of the Teapot Dome, the naval oil leases, the Muscle Shoals lease, but have done so with the hope of finding a way to obtain a lease of the White House for the next four years. President Coolidge, with his supporters and party, wants to retain the occupancy of this House of houses; the Democrats want to evict him and place in his stead a man of their own liking. Washingtonians, depending largely upon employment by the Government for a livelihood, look forward to a change with either fear or welcome, governed by the bad or good affiliations they now have with the present Administration. Little wonder one hears at every turn issues which have a political bearing. Had the issue over the Japanese immigration arise nin 1922, together with the Hanihara letter, Congress would not have been guilty of wasting the work of "twenty years of excellent diplomacy." For it would have realized the delicacy of handling such an issue—an issue which involves the national policy and the relations between a great and powerful nation with those of a powerful and proud Japan. Nor would the incumbent have feared the loss of the vote of California in vetoting the bill. But the lease of the White House for 1925-29 inclusive, is soon to made out. In whose name shall it be made? The electoral votes of the Pacific Coast play an important part in the philosophy of legislative action, and they will determine President Coolidge's use of his veto power. * * * * * Negroes in Missouri demand that the G. O. P. leaders speak out and express themselves as to the stand the party will take in regard to the Ku Klux Klan. The declaration, "We demand the civil and religious liberty and freedom of the press as guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States be made secure against assaults from any source whatsoever," made by Republicans, is too weak and unsatisfactory. Negro voters in turn demand "a plank which will show beyond any doubt that the Republican Party in Missouri is opposed to the Klan, or we will bolt." This is not pleasant news for G. O. P. leaders in the state. For the Negroes' votes are greatly needed to put over the Republican candidate. Several other states, such as Ohio and Indiana, are confronted with a similar situation. For a long time immediately following slavery (even now in some sections), the Negro was taught that the Republican Party gave him freedom because it was his friend. He so believed it that the Party soon thought it unnecessary to prove its friendship and went ahead, marking down the Negro's vote in the plus column. But now the Negro is beginning to see that neither party has any particular liking for him. This is voiced by G. W. Buckner, president of the People's Finance Corporation of St. Louis, who, in a statement to Negroes of St. Louis said: "It is the man and not the party to whom we must look in the future for justice. In the past Negroes regarded the Republican Party as the ship and all else the sea. But the treatment accorded the colored people during the past fifty years by all parties firmly convinces us there is no ship, but all is sea. "St. Louis has the largest colored population of any border city in the country. The colored voters are mostly made up of those who have come from from the South, where the whites are strictly Democrats and the colored are straight Republicans. The last Mayoralty election showed that the Negro vote had been the determining factor. It will be recalled that abundant promises, with little or no regard for keeping them, were made. Our people should accept and vote for no man whose character does not warrant the confidence and respect of the colored people." Theatrical News SABATINI'S 'SCARAMOUCHE' TO BE SEEN AT BROADWAY ONE WEEK BEGINNING SUNDAY, "Scaramouche" has been acclaimed as the greatest achievement in the history of motion pictures. Founded on Rafael Sabatini's novel of the French Revolution, it tells the story of a young nobleman, Andre-Louis, who devotes his life to the cause of the rebels when his dearest friend is murdered by a powerful marquis and the courts refuse to take action. Andre-Louis joins a group of strolling players, taking the clown role, Scaramouche, and under that disguise, helps stir the whirlwind of rebellion that culminates in the attack on the Tulcries. Alice Terry, Roman Novarro and Lewis Stpne have the principal roles and there are 10,000 persons in the mob scenes. In making an epic of frenzied passions and tense adventure live again on the screen, Mr. Ingram has even surpassed his own production of "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse." He was born with the gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad. So they said of Andre-Louis Moreau, son of nobility, who became Scaramouche, the clown, whose laughter mocked his enemies and whose madness inflamed the world. Not in all the pages of fiction is there such a glowing dare-devil character as Rafael Sabatini's creation of "Scaramouche," and not in the history of motion pictures has there been such a production as Rex Ingram's Metro photoplay from the Sabatini novel. FAMOUS ACTRESSES IN NEW PICTURE The screen's two most famous portrayers of mother roles have important parts in "Painted People," a comedy drama of small town life, which opens, Sunday at the Lincoln Theatre, with Colleen Moore in the starring role. In this gem of pathos and humor, Mary Carr, of "Over the Hill" fame, plays mother to Ben Lyon and Mary Alden is mother to Miss Moore. "Painted People," a plетurization of Richard Connell's Collier's Weekly serial, is a pleasing romance of a boy and girl who set out to make themselves worthy of wealthier sweethearts to find after they had become successful, that their idols had feet of clay and that in reality they have made themselves worthy for each other. An unusually talented cast of players enact the interesting roles; the all-star aggregation comprises Colleen Moore, in the leading role; Ben Lyon, Charlotte Merriam, Charlie Murray, Anna Q. Nilsson, Sam De Grasse, Joe Striker, Mary Alden, Russell Simpson Mary Carr, and June Elvidge. “Painted People” is a First National picture, and was directed by Clarence Badger, who directed that famous success, “Potash and Perlmutter.” NITA NALDI at the REPUBLIC Nita Naldi, the screen's "beloved vampire" is the featured player in "The Breaking Point" a new Paramount picture to be shown at the Republic on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, May 4, 5, 6 and 7. "The Breaking Point" is a mystery story by Mary Robert's Rinehart. The story tells of a man who loses his mind when he thinks he has become a murderer. When he recovers his poise, the memory of the murder is lost in his subconscious mind where it remains for ten years. The final clearing of the murder mystery forms a series of scenes which build to a dramatic climax. Supporting Miss Naldi are Patsy Ruth Miller, Matt Moore nad George Fawcett. Nita Naldi, cast in the roll of an actress gives the same exotic touch to the role as she did in "Don't Call It Love." The daring gowns she wears are alone worth the price of admission. The last three days of the week—Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, May 8, 9, and 10—"Broadway Gold" a romance of the Great White Way will be shown. In the cast are Elaine Hammerstein, Elliot Dexter and Kathlyn Williams. It tells the story of a chorus girl in a Broadway Revue and a man who believed all women the same—then out of their meeting the strangest love story ever told.

It is based upon the investigation by the authorities of the State of Michigan into the colony life of the religious sect at Benton Harbor, known as "The House of David," and the charges of gross immoral conduct by the head of that sect with young girls. Notwithstanding the ugliness of the story, the acting is superb. Yet somehow we feel that Andrew Bishop, is fitted more to play the hero's part, in which he became a matinee idol. Of course, Cleo Desmond is always incomparable and her interpretation of "the Queen" is remarkable. Isabelle Jackson, seen in the role of the ingenue, has been seen to greater advantage. "The Wicked House of David" because of its sordidness may have its box office appeal; but the LaFayette Players have selected a theme which is not strong enough to draw a second time. It is their worst offering. "TUNES AND TOPICS" AT HOW ARD, THEATER NEXT WEEK Miller and Slayer will present their musical comedy de luxe, "Tunes and Topics," at the Howard Theater next week.

If so, here is a chance to pass your knowledge on to others who would appreciate you telling them things that will make desirous of knowing more concerning those who have befriended the race. Do you know this man? Quite Do you know this man? Quite a few articles have appeared on this page concerning him. We want you to send in letters and tell us something concerning him. Throughout the thirty-eight years of his military career, Col. Young reflected the highest ideals of a trained soldier in pride, valor and devotion. He early developed to be a tactician of exceptional ability. He was appointed a captain February 2, 1901; appointed a major, August 28, 1912; appointed Lieutenant Colonel July 1, 1916. He steadily grew into the affection of his people and for more than a generation was referred to as the "Hero of His Race." His lasting contributions to America are a map of Haiti, which was used by the Marines there, (the first one ever made), and data concerning Africa and its people. For these two accomplishments he was awarded the Spingarn Medal in 1916. He retired as Colonel, July 22, 1917. He was talented as a musician, composer, poet and dramatist. He died in the line of duty as Military Attache to the Liberian Legation, January 8, 1922 in Lagos, Southern Nigeria. His body arrived in Washington, June 1st, 1923 completing its journey of thousands of miles. To my mind he was a great man. MARY WEDGE (14) Read what Harper has to Write Dear Editor: I recognized the man's picture on our page as being that of Col. Charles Young, the only Negro colonel of the American Army. Charles Young, was born in 1864. He went to college in New York, 1884, and was transferred to West Point, Annapolis, Maryland, and was the third and last Negro to graduate from there. He was promoted until he became Lieutenant Colonel. He fought with General Pershing in Mexico. Later he went to Africa. He also drew the first map of Haiti. Retired as Colonel in 1916. He died in Africa and was buried with military honors in the National Cemetery at Arlington, Va.

Charles Young was appointed a Captain February 2, 1901; on August 12, 1912 he was appointed a Major. After being a Major four years he was appointed Lieutenant-Colonel on July 1, 1916. He served one year as Colonel, and was retired after being in the Army 28 years. Colonel Charles Young lived to be 60 years of age. He died January 8, 1922 in Lagos, Southern Nigeria, British West Africa. His remains arrived in Washington June 1, 1923, completing its journey of thousands of miles from the wilds of Africa. An appropriate escort met the body at the Union Station and a parade in which many citizens paid honor to this great colored hero, took place. Many school children (myself among the number) attended these exercises and viewed the casket containing his remains. The final funeral services were held in the Amphitheatre at Arlington, Va., where his body now reposes with the nation's historic dead. Very Good Sentiment Dear Editor: My brother has a card of the 1924 Football schedule of St. Paul Normal and Industrial School of Lawrenceville, Virginia. A poem of three verses is on one side of it. I hope that you will publish it for me. It is called: THE TEST The test of a man is the fight he makes. Fate's numerous bumps and blows, A coward can smile when there's naught to fear, When nothing his progress bars. But it takes a man to stand up and cheer While some other fellow stars. It isn't the victory, after all, But the fight that a brother makes, The man who, wrive nagainst the wall Still stands up erect and takes The blows of fate with his head held high, Bleeding, and bruised and pale, Is the man who'll win in the by and by For he isn't afraid to fail. It's the bumps you get and the jolts you get And the shocks that your courage stands. The hours of sorrow and vain regret, The price that escapes your hands, That test your metal and prove your worth; It isn't the blows you deal. But the blows you take on the good old earth That show if your stuff is real I know that you will like the senti- ment. I only hope that the Tribun- ites will read it and appreciate it as much as I do. CLAUDE R. BOONE. (16) THELMA WILSON (11) MUSIC FORUM By Wellington A.

PARAMOUNT RACE RECORDS Get your "Gospel Pearls" songbook here Trade with WANTED A large crowd should greet her on this, an auspicious occasion in her musical career. Her broadcasting over the radio last Tuesday evening was marvellous. We shall say more about it in a latter issue. Florence Cole-Talbert Delights Audience in Song Recital Mme. Florence Cole-Talbert, a mature artist in every sense of the word, last Monday evening sang so exquisitely that an audience of a few hundred Washingtonians prominent in both social and musical circles gave her wrap attention until after her final encore, the occasion being a recital under the Prince Hall Chapter, No. 5, O.E.S., Josephine L. Dandridge, R.M., and Earnest M. Dickerson, R.P. Two things were significant in this Cole-Talbert song recital at John Wesley A. M. E. Z. Church last Monday evening. This "celebrated coloraturn" soprano sings musically, with emphasis on the music of the songs she interprets and the quality of music is never lost in her full-voiced effects. She shows sincere musicianship and her voice is unusually full and rich and her mezzo notes quite as beautiful as her high soprano notes. Most noticeable too was her artistic stage stage presence, graceful, charming and radiating cheer with her winsome smiles that was contagious. The "Una Voce Poco Fa," from the Barber of Seville, Rossini, opened in characteristic colorature style true to type and delightfully done, followed by a group of three charming songs, "I've Been Roaming" (Old English), "In Autumn" (Taubert) and "Serenade" (Schubert), encoring with the "Swiss Eco Song." Masse's "Air de la Lyce, from Galathee" was possibly the most thrilling selection heard. In it her warbling bird-like notes in florid scale passage swept up and down the gamut of her compass like mute dancing nymphs in the gray dull twilight of a dying day. The next group followed with Four- Strickland's "At Even I heard a Flute," Clough-Leighter's "I Drink the Fragrance of the Rose" and Farley's "The Night Wind." Both the Strickland and Farley numbers were delightfully given with good tone-color. Licensure's "By the Waters of Minneonka" was rendered by request and a group of Negro spirituels closed the program giving local color. "Goin' to Shout All Over God's Heav'n" pleased immensely. Several encores were given one of which "The Little Brown Bear" brought veiled-Jaughter in its humorous text. Mine, Talbert was in splendid voice although we doubted it at first. To convince ourselves we changed from rear to a sent nearer the singer and then discovered the defect was possibly due to poor acoustics in the arched interior of the auditorium or was it the heavy atmosphere, one or both the contributing cause? Mine, Talbert gave a perfect song recital. Miss Goldie Guy at the piano played some interesting accompaniments, making of the "Swiss Echo Song" and Masse "Arl de la Lyre" a, particularly ingratiating rhythmic flow. Her piano solo work was a revelation pointing after mature years to vertuosity. There is scholarly musicianship in her playing and music in her soul.

Talk on this subject has now reached a-stage of agitation, [2 Goch an. appeintpent would. meet with general approval both from the ‘American Negroes and the Natives of the Virgin Islands, ‘The “Daily News” a member of the Scripp-Howard chain of newspapers, which is the largest group of papers in the country, came out in an edi- torial recently advocating a Negro Governor for the islands. This is the first expresison from a white press on this-subject, and coming from a Scrip. Howard paper, must necessarily carry much weight, ‘The editorial in the “Daily News” follows: US AND Si. URSULA On his second: voyage to the West Indies in 1494 Christopher Columbus suddenly ran into a whole flock of little islands. Amazed at their number, he saw at once he would not have enough saints’ names to go around,-so with # grand gesture be confided them all to the sacred” patronage of the 11,000 mar- tyred virgins of St. Ursula. Hence “Virgin Islands.” see Under‘ the warm Caribbean sun the islauds thrived and prospered. The natives grew sngar cane and made bay rum; Bright-painted ships from the four points fueled there or made the wonderful harbor of St. Thomas a reg- ular port of call. Everybody was hap. py. ‘Then the islands came under the pa- tronage of Uncle Sam. -This was in 1917. Whereupon the 11,00 mart¥red virgins of St. Ursula seem to have thrown up the job in despair, for hard juck, instead of good, has pursued the dusky inhabitants ever since. We Americans like to think—and most of us do think —that only good fortune ean follow our flag. — This is God's country, we boast, and lucky the man who is a citizen thereof. Not so the 26,000 inhabitants of ‘the Virgin islands. Since 1621 their trade has slumped two-thirds. American prohibition has killed their bay-rum business, It also killed St. Thomas as a port of call. Unemployment abounds. Population is decreasing, The death. rate is more than twice what is is in the United States, Those who ean are leaving. Governed by the United States navy, the islands haye had seven different governors in three years, A regular kaleidoscopic procession of them, None has stayed long enough really to know the country and be helpful. ‘Vader our flag the islands have be- some just a forlorn, neglected, halt forgotten outpost of the Panama (a- aad. ‘Twice before we have offered a sug- gestion.

As for the rest, turn It over to the ‘natives under a negro governor to be appointed. by the President of the ‘United States, We suggest that the five leading Ne sro edpeators in this country ‘be asked to propose one ot their race for the post, and that the President appoint their man, ‘Phe Virgin istanders are almost en- tirely colored, A Negro has just been appointed to high office in New Or- Jeans over the protests of the whites, Why not a colored governor for a col- ored community? It would—or should—he a matter of pride for a Negro governor to make ‘the islands flourish as the proverbial xreen bay tree. And if he made good, not only would the resentment of the islanders turn 0 gratitude, dnt some- thing. really constructive would have doen done for the advancement of the colored race.
