HOLDS COVENANT MADE BY CITIZENS TO BAR NEGROES IS VALID First in Local Circulation. Vol. 4, No. 4 District HOLDS COVENANT BY CITIZENS NEGR The long waited for decision in the case of Corrigan et al vs. Buckley, generally called the Curtis case, involving the sale and purchase of property in the 1700 block of S Street, Northwest, was handed down in the Court of Appeals last Monday. The decision was unfavorable to Mrs. Curtis. The opinion of the court was written by Justice Van Orsdel. In addition to writing an unfavorable opinion, the Justice took occasion to express himself on racial matters in general and social equality in particular. The case grew out of the desire of Mrs. Helen Curtis to purchase a home in the 1700 block on S Street, during the winter of 1923. When it was found that the intended purchasers were colored, suit was brought in the supreme court of the District in the form of an injunction to prevent title from being passed. The case was built up on the ground that the whites in the block had entered into a covenant, the terms of which prevented any of the signers from selling their property to persons of Negro blood, for a period of twenty-one years. When the case first came before Justice McCoy of the Supreme Court in Injunction. Attorney James A. Cobb, who was retained by Mrs. Curtis, immediately filed an appeal. The case was then carried to the Court of Appeals. It came up for argument about three weeks ago, with the result that the court handed down a decision holding that such a covenant, made between individuals, does not run counter to the 14th amendment, nor is it against "public policy," hence was valid and binding. At the time the Covenant was drawn, about twenty colored families were living in the block. Since the Curtis case was brought about a dozen more colored families have moved into the block. Now a majority of the people in the block are colored. Besides the Curtis case, three other colored property owners in the block, Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Attorney Wm. L. Houston and Professor J. Francis Gregory, have cases in court involving the same covenant. However, in the Curtis case, she was prevented from purchasing, while the other three secured titles and have moved in. Some of them have had possession for over a year. What effect this decision will have on these cases is not yet known, as in each one the court reserved the decision until after the decision of the Court of Appeals. Attorney Cobb has filed a motion for an appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States. It is believed that the fight now, so far as the 1700 block on S Street, is concerned is purely academic; but certain whiles are anxious to have this decision finally confirmed so that any future controversies may be settled by it. An analysis and discussion of the decision, prepare despecialy for the Tribune by Attorney Benjamin L. Gaskins, will be found on our editorial page. The court in handing down its decision said: "Appellant seems to have misconceived the real question here involved. We are not dealing with the validity of a statute, or municipal law, or ordinance, nor are we concerned with the right of a Negro to acquire, own and use property; nor are we confronted with any pre-existing rights which are affected by the covenant herein questioned. The sole issue is the power of a number of land owners to execute and record a covenant running with the land by which they bind themselves, their heirs and assigns, during a period twenty-one years to prevent any of the land described in the covenant from being sold, leased to or occupied THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY, FIRST ST., S. E. The Washington Tribune The CT COURT NT MADE NS TO BAR ROES IS VALID --- Published Weekly by Negroes. "The constitutional right of a Negro to acquire, own, and occupy property does not carry with it the constitutional power to compel sale and conveyance to him of any particular private property. The individual citizen whether he be black or white, may refuse to sell or lease his property to any particular individual or class of individuals. The state alone possesses the power to compel a sale or taking of private property, and that only for public use. "The power of these property owners to exclude one class of citizens, implies the power of the other class to exercise the same prerogative over property which they may own. What is denied one class may be denied the other. There is, therefore, no discrimination within the Civil Rights clauses of the constitution. Such a covenant is enforceable not only against a member of the excluded, race, but between the parties to the agreement. "Our attention has not been called to any decision of the Supreme Court of the United States involving the exact question before us. It has, however, been before the courts of the states where it has been held that similar covenants against ownership or occupancy by Negroes are neither unconstitutional nor contrary to public policy. "It is unnecessary to consider the contention that the restriction amounts to a denial of equal protection of the laws under the 14th Amendment, since the Supreme Court has held in numerous instances, that the inhibition is upon the power of the state and not to action by individuals in respect of their property." "In Plessy vs. Ferguson, 163 U. S. 537, the Court sustaining the validity of a statute of Louisiana providing for separation of races in passenger cars, as not being repugnant to the provisions of the 14th Amendment said: 'The object of the Amendment was absolutely to enforce the absolute equality of the two races before the law, but in the nature of things it could not have been intended to abolish the distinctions based on color, or to enforce social, as distinguished from political equality, or a co-mingling of the two races upon terms unsatisfactory to either. Laws permitting, and even requiring their separation in places where they are liable to be brought into contact do not necessarily imply the inferiority of either race to the other, and have been generally, if not universally, recognized as within the competency of the State legislatures in the exercise of their police power.' "The foregoing rule applies not only to segregation in railway coaches, but to statutes requiring separate white and colored schools, as well as regulations providing for the segregation of the races in municipal playgrounds, municipal golf courses, municipal tennis courts and municipal bathing beaches. The same general and settled public opinion controls in respect of the segregation of the races in churches, hotels, restaurants, lodging houses, apartment houses, theaters and places of public amusement. "It follows that the segregation of the races, whether by statute or private agreement, where the method adopted does not amount to the denial of fundamental constitutional rights cannot be held to be against public policy. Nor can the social equality of the races be attained either by legislation or by forcible assertion of assumed rights. As was said in People vs. Galligher, 93 N. Y., 438, 448; 'This can neither be accomplished nor promoted by laws which conflict with the general sentiment of the commu (Continued on page 5) WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, JUNE 7, 1924 Case now awaits Action of the Grand Jury The case of the alleged attempted rape on seventeen-year-old Olga Newman last week by Maurice W. Spencer did not come up for a preliminary hearing in the Police Court this week. Mr. Spencer through his attorney, waived the preliminary hearing. The case now automatically goes over to await action of the Grand Jury where he will either be indicted or the case dismissed. Just when this case will come before the Grand Jury is not known, but in all probability, it will come up before the end of the month. If Mr. Spencer is indicted, the trial will not be heard until the fall term of court as the Judges take their summer recess within a short time. Mr. Spencer's bond was continued at $2000. Master of U. S. Naval Band Arrives in N. Y.

SULLIVAN TRIBUTE TO WINS COMPETI SCORES ACTION DEPARTED TIVE DRILL OF POLICE Short Eulogies Tell of Fidelity to Cause Thursday, May the 29th, was memorial day for the Columbian Educational Association, composed approximately of the entire teaching body, connected with divisions 10-13. The meeting was in honor of teachers who died in the service of the public schools of the District of Columbia during the last four years. Thirty-two, according to a report submitted, have been claimed by death since 1920 and the tributes paid these deceased members, by the various principals under whom they served were excellent testimonials as to their worth and the loss the system has sustained in their passing. The exercises were held under the auspices of the Columbian Educational Association at two o'clock p.m., in the auditorium of the Dunbar High School. Among those who spoke were Mr. Garnet C. Wilkinson, Superintendent of schools in divisions 10-13 and Prof. Kelly Miller, a dean at Howard University. Other numbers were a violin solo by Mr. Joseph H. Douglass and a recitation by Mr. Nathaniel Guy. Miss Virginia Williams of the music department in the local schools sang "Deep River" by Mr. Harry T. Burleigh with a sympathetic rhythm, well arranged and pleasing. Mr. M. Grant Lucas, president of the association presided. American Woodmen to Hold Five Conventions Denver, Colo.—The Supreme Camp of The American Woodmen has announced the dates of their five district conventions for 1924, as follows: Jacksonville, Florida, June 2d to 7th; San Antonio, Texas, June 23rd to 28th; Chicago, Illinois, July 14 to 19th; Louisville, Kentucky, July 28th to August 2d; and Richmond, Virginia, August 18th to 23rd. As a feature of these conventions there will be held at each, an institute for deputies in which the field men of the Society will be given instructions on problems relating to fraternal insurance. The insurance commissioners of several states are co-operating with the society by furnishing speakers for these institutes, and some of the larger Negro insurance companies will be represented. The Supreme Camp of The American Woodmen is reputed to be the largest Negro fraternal insurance Society operating among Negroes, and is frequently referred to as the "Giant of Negro Fraternals." Its assets are rapidly approaching the two million dollar mark. Among the most unique features of its work are its Uniform Rank Department and its Green Cross Nurse Corps; this latter auxiliary of the Organization consists of women members of local camps who have organized themselves into Nurse Corps secured instructions with regards to first aid, sanitation and hygiene under qualified physicians and trained nurses, and who lend their personal aid for the relief and visitation of sick and distressed members of the Order. from sound investments, will pay Another feather in the cap of "the $732,000.00 (the amount of death Company of service and satisfaction." After a close contest, Company E of Dunbar High School, Capt. Leonard Johnson, commanding, carried off the first honors Thursday evening at thirty-second annual competitive drill.

Hamilton, Inf., O. R. C., and Captain Sylvester H. Epps, Inf., O. R. C COMPUTING THE PREMIUM Written for the Federal Life Insurance Co. By Simeon Cunningham The Life Insurance Actuarians make use of the tables of compound interest and discount and many other tables formulated from experiences peculiar to Life Insurance, thus in the discussion of insurance calculations one has only to follow the method outlined and make use of the tables to verify the statement that Life Insurance is computed upon sound mathematical foundations. Let us now, without the use of algebraic formula, or performing the long arithmetical calculations, follow the eMethod of calculating th "net" premiums. For ease in calculating we will assume that we wish to insure for $1,000.00 each as many men as the American Table of Mortality shows to be living at age 35 under the "whole life" plan and that each man desires to pay the whole life insurance in one sum or, using the insurance term, under the "single premium" plan. The number living is 81,822 and of this number 732 will die during the next year. hTe premiums are to be paid at the beginning of the year and the death losses are to be paid at the end of the year in which they occur, then the first operation is to find that sum which, paid into the Company at the beginning of the year and improved by 3 per cent interest returned from sound investments, will pay 8723,000.00 (the amount of death Office: 920 U St., N.W. Segreg Win Contests a nary Hearing MAJ. SULLIVAN SCORES ACTION OF POLICE In the future no member of the Metropolitan police force is to enter any school house in the city, while in session to make an arrest or to exert any influence other than what should be in the performance of duty, when occasions arise like the one a few weeks ago at the Wormley school in Georgetown. This is in substance the order, that Major Sullivan sent out broadcast over the city last week to the various precincts under his command after a close study of the facts in this particular case. The course followed by the Major is the one suggested by the Tribune recently, when the matter was first brought to the attention of the public. At a special meeting of the school board Tuesday night of last week at the Franklin building, it was brought out through those who testified in the case that the officers involved used very poor discretion in the affair and that an instant court martial should follow to determine what further action should be necessary to bring the case to a final close. It is generally felt by the public that a mere reprimand is not sufficient and that a punishment of a heavier nature should be imposed. Some of those present were: Mr. G. C. Wilkinson, Assistant Superintendent of schools; Dr. Ballou, the Superintendent; members of the special committee, who had the investigation in charge; Miss Laura Arnold, principal of Wormley school; Mr. Charles A. Evans, Assistant Superintendent of Police and others high in local police circles. claims assumed) at the end of the year. This sum is $710,679.77 the Present Value of $732,000.00, the amount of the death claims assumed to be paid, one year hence. The sum is obtained by multiplying $732,000.00 by the decimal .97084 which is the Present Value of $1.00 due one year hence. At the beginning of the second year there are $1,090 living and 737 are to die, according to the tables, hence the amount of claims to be provided for during this year is $737,000.00, and the amount necessary to meet this provision is the Present Value of $737,000.00 due two years hence. Performing similar operations for each year until the last survivor dies and adding together all the results, then securing an average of the Present Values of all the death claims to be paid on each of the $81,822 persons insured gives us the "net" single premium. When we add to this the percent legally fixed for "loanding" or, the charge to cover expenses, taxes and contingencies, we derive the amount, which if each of our $81,822 persons paid in a lump sum at the age of 35, and the Company received the assumed 3 per cent interest on the accumulations per annum, would enable the Company to pay all losses at the end of the year in which they occurred. At this point it is noteworthy to call your attention to the fact that the actuarial work for The Federal Life Insurance Co., was done by Mr. C. T. Taylor, its present Secretary-Manager. We believe that this company is the first company whose actuarial work, approved and accepted by the United States Department of Insurance, was done by a member of our race.

Washington's Best Advertising Medium. gation at Cleveland Galliher and Jones also Win Seats The contest of delegates from the District of Columbia to the Republican National Convention which opens in Cleveland, Ohio, next week was decided this week by the special committee on contests now in session at Cleveland. The delegates seated by this decision are William T. Galliber and Attorney Thos. L. Jones. The losing delegates are Aaron Bradshaw and John T. Rhines. In addition to deciding the District of Columbia's contest, the committee voted on Wednesday after hearing arguments covering an entire day, to seat the delegates from Georgia headed by National Committeeman Henry Lincoln Johnson. This contest was one of the most bitter to come before the committee. The turning point in this case was the producing of a letter from the late President Harding to C. Bascom Slemp, in which the President admitted that a blunder had been made in recognizing the Phillips' faction in Georgia. Henry Lincoln Johnson acted as attorney for his side. The vote to seat his delegation was 22 to 14. Perry W. Howard heading a contesting faction from Mississippi was also seated by the committee on Thursday. The Howard faction was opposed by another faction headed by National Committeeman Mulvihill of that State. This decision means that Mr. Mulvihill will not be continued as National Committeeman. It is very likely that Perry W. Howard will be elected in his place. Fights Attempt to Cut Off Supervising Principals An attempt by Superintendent Ballou of the public schools to cut the number of supervising principals in the colored schools from four to two was unearthed at the meeting of the school board last Wednesday. Attorney W. L. Houston vigorously fought the matter and finally succeeded in having a committee appointed to appear before the Congressional committee, having gcharge of the bill and urge the re-insertion of the items. This attempt on the part of Superintendent Ballou to discriminate against the colored schools has aroused a wave of indignation by parents and civic organizations. Many feel that he is acting as the tool of a group of enemies of the race who are striving to do all they can to keep the colored schools below the standard of the whites. Already many charges of discrimination, through him have been made. EARTHQUAKE ROCKS HAITI Port-au-Prince, Haiti, May 27—An earthquake shock today wrecked a building at Port-de-Paix, killing three persons and injuring several others.

C., June 4—One of the most interesting features of the commencement program for Kittrell College here today was the dedication of the new Memorial Building named in honor of the late John R. Hawkins, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. John R. Hawkins of Washington, D.C. The building is a beautiful threestory brick structure with all modern conveniences and will accommodate one hundred and fifty boys. The money was raised principally by popular subscriptions among the alumni and friends of Kitrell College throughout the territory of the North Carolina, Virginia and Baltimore Conferences of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Several liberal donations were made from $100 to $1000. Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins were both present and gave $5000 as their donation to the building. On hearing of the generous gift of Mr. Hawkins, his friend Mr. B. N. Duke of New York telegraphed that he would gladly contribute $5000.

Keep Your Insurance Bonue (Information for the Veteran) False Assumptions All America in general and the Negro in particular has come to grief, not merely once too often, but a thousand times too often, by false assumptions of the governing factors of our commonwealth. Perhaps fifty per cent of all world-sorrows come as a result of erroneous assumptions. Yet, one by one, by some occult process, false assumptions are being overthrown and replaced by more accurate conceptions. For ages ministers were accredited with a mysterious, even divine wisdom and superhuman powers. This false assumption no longer trouble all the great minds of today, though it still survives in those remote corners where human beings eat to work and work to eat. The hurry and skurry of congested centres—where thought is a prerequisite to success or to existence—an dapostolic succession are irreconcilable enemies. The clergy today can more easily make our cities laugh than it can make them tremble. The thing it denounces today becomes more fashionable tomorrow. Men, in our congested centres, have about rid themselves of their old belief in devils. Hell with its fire no longer affrights and palsies them, nor do those ministerial fakirs longer impress them with ecclesiastical alarms and extortions. They have found it as such, and, as a result of this conception, sleep better, eat better, and are more happy. Yet, in those remote marches, where every mother's child goes to bed with the chickens, the devil is still feared, and with him, his professional exterminators, as in the influential days of Cotton Mather. There, the devil and the clergy are public nuisances, and civilized life is almost impossible. There, the clergy is the moulder of public opinion, the sacrificial authority, the germ of cultural paralysis, and nothing must exist without its approval, on penalty of hellfire. It is a false assumption that it can bind and loose, that contumacy to it is a curse to God—a false assumption which makes life so uneasy, so nervous, so unhappy. If it were overthrown, little would be heard of lynchings and Ku Kluxery. In the land of golden opportunities ancient false assumption has gone to stay. Cultural progress is in the making, long with it has gone its brother, the traditional, irrational respect for the visible agents of the law. These agents, by assumptions austere and almost sacrosanct, are now looked upon as a group but little removed, save by superior impudence and enterprise, from a "Dapper Don" or a Cecilia Cooney. With the casting aside of the old false assumption of their integrity and public usefulness and the adoption of a new and more accurate assumption of their true worth, public happiness has measurably increased. No one is astonished when one of the corps of these undisguised scoundrels is taken in evil-doing, nor is there but little indignation. The corps of Prohibition cohorts are no longer assumed to be altruistic agents of a benevolent democracy by men engaged assidiously, like the rest of us, in making hay while the sun shines. We are making progress thereby increasing our happiness. If the Negro should but rid himself of another and worse false assumption that still rides him—one that corrupts all his thinking about the great business of politics, and vastly augments his discontent and unhappiness—the assumption that politicians are of two classes: the good ones and the bad ones, he would do much in increasing his contentment and happiness. For it is as easy to find a good politician as it is an honest burglar or a virtuous harlot. Politicians serve not the common weal, but prey upon the commonwealth. It is for our good that their powers be an irreducible minimum, and their compensation nothing; it is to their interest that their powers be augmented, their compensation all the traffic will bear. The politician is an evil at his best; at his worst he is an inoble insultance. Yet he would be measurably less a nuisance if we should get rid of our false assumption about him and regard him in the cold light of fact. Since infancy, we have been trained to put up with necessary evils. These evils are not agreeable, but they are tolerated because they are universally assumed—because we are not tricked into believing them otherwise. What we need to do is to purge ourselves of all the current false as- Republican Chiefs Worried Republican Chiefs Worried (By Ike Murray) G. O. P. race leaders, exchanging views over the speculation counter, are taking vrey much, to heart these days, the outspoken stand the colored voters in every section are showing in regards to their attitude toward party tradition and hourly the news, that comes trickling through the various outlets of information from time to time available, is giving feverish apprehension in Republican headquarters, as the period of reckoning approaches. Party preferences in some states are entirely obliterated, bringing to the surface many important issues hitherto before not credited. Tammy's recent effort to stage in the city of New York one of the largest colored Democratic conventions ever held migth be considered as the firing of the first gun in the new of politics and one whose long distance forces, that they, too, should get into action, while the powder is dry. New Jersey, Missouri, Pennsylvania, and New York are developing strong Democratic inclinations among the colored factions and Republican prestige in the states just named will be badly shattered, unless present tendencies are checked, before the political horoscope becomes definitely certain. Just what the outcome is going to be, no human soul knows and to risk an assumption, is clearly a cross of thorns and golden crown logic, yet there is fairly good ground to believe, that the political situation is far from being settled and that in some respects both parties are threatened with serious factional dissensions. When pressed for an opinion the other day, a prominent race man said that the colored people of the country were tired of being feed upon empty promises. They desired some of the pledges made—kept, he declared and to that end the colored voters were working. The polls were the only places where they could register their feelings upon the men and women running for state and national offices. You can pretty safely predict, he concluded, that intelligent use of the ballot will be in evidence, when the next opportunity occurs. COLLEGE CLASS, '24 INITIATES ENDOWMENT FOR "ALMA MATER" The reception of the seniors of the college department held in the New Dining Hall on Saturday evening, May 31, was an epoch making event. The senior class of '24 with enthusiasm that is seldom felt initiated a constructive program that bids much for the success of educating at large irrespective of its value to Howard University. Mr. A. Crofton Gilbert, class president, outlined a very practical plan by which the University could be endowed. Dean Holmes, out of the richness of his experience opened the eyes of the seniors by relating interesting incidents of history relative to the financial income of the University, Prof. Gregory emphasized the value of such a movement to the University. At this instance President Gilbert placed upon the table his pledge in cash and was rapidly followed by other members of the class until an endowment of five hundred dollars had been guaranteed. Mr. John W. Bowman, Jr., was appointed Secretary-Treasurer of the endowment fund and it is hoped that that the endowment will be raised to the five thousand dollar ($5000.00) mark before commencement. Prof. Tannell, overwhelmed by the enthusiasm shown by the class, was forced to exclaim, "I see the dawn of a new day for Howard." NOTE: The Editor of "Music Forum" was invited to attend this group-heartily endorses the movement. (W.A.A.) sumptions and false pretenses, and go to the polls on election day clearly informed that the choice between two politicians is not the one between an angel and a devil, an altruist and a go-getter, but between two frank go-getters. Such a choice would give us candidness and exhilaration. We would make our selection in full knowledge of all the facts. But now we make it as we buy our bootleg whiskey, without knowing what we are getting. False assumptions forever victimize us and will in the end cause government by the people, for the people, and with the people to perish. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, JUNE 7, 1924 RACE WOMAN ATTORNEY CAN- DIDATE FOR OHIO STATE LEGISLATURE brother, Thomas J. Harris, Mrs. Fannie Graham, niece, Mr. Leonard Harris, nephew. her house-gue from Atlanti Mamie Bowe Columbus, Ohio, May 29 (Preston News Service)—Colored Republicans of Columbus are becoming imbued with a marked degree of race consciousness in connection with the candidacy of Miss Daisy D. Perkins, successful woman attorney, for state representative. Left motherless at the tender age of fourteen months Attorney Perkins through untiring efforts and application and a determination, qualified herself and became one of Ohio's first colored woman lawyers, and now enjoys a large clientele. The records of the Prosecuting Attorney's office will show that Miss Perkins has won more criminal cases during the last two years than any of the other eight hundred lawyers in Franklin county. Of the 800 lawyers 29 are colored. Miss Perkins is the daughter of John H. Perkins, a local barber in Shawnee, a mining town in Perry county where she was born. Her mother died when she was fourteen months old. Mr. Perkins reared and educated his six children himself. She was graduated from the Findlay High School at 15 and four years later from the collegiate department of Wilberforce University. After leaving college Miss Perkins took up the study of stenography and became an expert court and convention reporter doing this work for sixteen years. She also made complete abstracts which were never questioned by the Building and Loan Association of Colum- She studied law during her spare time in the office of the late Judge M. B. Earnhart, who had the distinction of being one of the best criminal lawyers in the middle west. Miss Perkins was admitted, to the Franklin County Bar June 1, 1919, having the distinction of being the first colored woman admitted to practice law in the State of Ohio. Since then she has built up an extensive legal practice with clients of both races. She is an excellent platform speaker and lecturer. During the campaign of 1920 she was one of the National Speakers. Miss Perkins whose office is located at 183 Lexington avenue, is a candidate for State Representative on the Republican ticket, subject to the Primary election in August. It is thought she will win the nomination in August and the election in November. Former Howard Man Dead The sudden death of J. Harry Harris, a well-known attorney of Erie Pa., was a great shock to a number of his friends and acquaintances. J. Harry Harris was born 65 years ago at Keswick, Albermarle County, Virginia, where he was reared on the farm. He received training in the High Schools of Richmond, Wayland and Howard Universities, graduating from the latter in the Department of Law, 1905. Commenting on his career, the Dispatch-Herald, of Erie, Pa., in its issue of May 21 last, writes in part as follows: "J. Harry Harris, only Negro lawyer ever admitted to the Erie Bar dies suddenly. He left the east soor after graduation, settling in the State of Washington, where for years he was known as one of that State's most prominent Negro lawyers. From Washington he went to Duluth, Minn., where for a number of years he practiced law. In the West, attorney Harris was noted as a speaker for the colored people and his campaign from the rostrum attracted wide attention, although seriously handicapped in Duluth, he took up the Negro cudgel during a racial strife in that town, and it is said that Harris's speaking tour was instrumental in bringing about peaceful relations between the whites and blacks of Duluth." Coroner Hanley of Erie pronounced the death due to heart failure, the attorney having died in the act of dressing and alone. For a number of years he exercise a fatherly care over his niece, Mrs. Fannie Graham, Apartment 304, Whitelaw, Washington, D.C., who lost her mother at the early age of two. On May 21, last, Mrs. Fannie Graham and Mr. Leonard Harris nephew of the deceased, residing at 1415 5th Street, Northwest, Washington, D.C., went to Erie and accompanied the remains to Charlottesville, Va. The funeral and interment were observed at Union Run Baptist Church, the Rev. C. C. Kennedy officiating. To mourn his death he leaves a brother, Thomas J. Harris, Mrs. Fannie Graham, niece, Mr. Leonard Harris, nephew. ELDER LEWIS C. SHEAFE Elder Lewis C.

B-6 Phone: N. 8860 PAGE 200 Once my hair was anything but long and silky soft as it is now; and my complexion was sallow, and there were often unsightly pimples on my face. One day I heard of Exelento Quinine Pomade for the hair and purchased a jar. Almost immediately it stopped all dandruff, made my hair grow long, soft and fine, and gave it a delightful sheen. Because of the perfectly wonderful results I obtained from Exelento Quinine Pomade, I purchased a jar of Exelento Skin Beautifier. It changed my skin complexion to a clear, lovely skin, glowing with health. For pimples and other skin blemishes, it has no equal.

AGENTS WANTED EVERYWHERE Write for Tucgulars "Mighty" Hilldale Club of Philadelphia Here Sunday, June 8th PAGE FOUR "Mighty" Champions' First Local Appearance The "mighty" Hilldale club of Philadelphia, with the greatest array of stars of any colored ball club in the country will make its initial bow to local fans tomorrow, Sunday, June 8, at the American Lague park. At least, 5,000 fans, the largest crowd of the season is expected to see this great aggregation, that defeated the Philadelphia Athletics in a series of games last fall. Black Sox Here Today This afternoon the Baltimore Black Sox will return here for one game startng at 3:30 o'clock. Not satisfied with their showing against the Sox last week the Potomacs are out for revenge. Local Products on Hilldale Local fans that have kept up with sandlot baseball in recent years can recall the work of "Nimp" Winters and "Script" Lee. These former Washingtonians are the mainstay of the Hildale staff. Winters has lost but one game in seven starts and on that occasion "Stringbean" Williams and the Potomacs bested him in a great duel, 2 to 1, Winters allowing but one hit and "Stringbean" three. Sunday's game will likely bring this pair together again. In shortstop Mackey, Hilldale is reputed to have the greatest player in the league. Mackey led the league batters last year with a better than .400 average. Captain Warfield is the class of the league second-seakers. G. Johnson, Thomas and Briggs form the champions' outfield. All are wonderful ball players. Santop, catcher, is probably the best drawing card on any colored club. Joe Lewis, last year with the Potomacs, is Santop's understudy. Other members of the Hilldale pitching staff are Phil Cockrell, hero of many pitching duels, "Red" Ryan and Currie, last year "ace" of the Kansas City Monarch's staff. To see this combination in action is worth a trip of many miles. Potomac Notes Although the Potomacs lost three out of four games to the Black Sox only two defeats will go down in the standing against them. The game of Saturday which the Sox won was an exhibition affair. --- Faulty fielding by the young infielders, Goodrich, Hamilton and Anderson cost two of these games. The pitchers performed creditably but their support was wobbly and put them in many holes. Shively may be out of the game for two weeks or more suffering from a 'charley horse.' Hampton is now on the shelf with the same ailment. Both were sent to Philadelphia last Sunday for treatment by a physician. Manager Taylor has found his batting eye. He connected for 10 hits in 18 times up in the Sox series. In Baltimore Sunday he garnered his first homer, the ball clearing the right field fence with plenty to spare. President Robinson made a trip West last week and not a half dozen knew he had gone. Whether he met with any success remains to be seen. "Silent" Anderson early in the season had all the carmarks of a coming star. Lat eappearances, however, to the contrary. Not alone, is he not hitting, but his fielding has been horrible. The work of Goodrich has been a big disappointment. Great things were expected of this Texan on the strength of last year's showing. An injury to his eyes has undoubtedly been the cause of the midget's poor work. An injury to catcher Williams has forced Manager Taylor to use Eggleton behind the bat continuously, otherwise he could have used the latter on third and given Goodrich a much needed rest. Southpaw Bell gave promise of being able to make the grade through his five innings against the Sox, Saturday. This was his second start of the year. Howard Humbles Japanese Nine Boasting of victories over Harvard, Yale, Princeton and other strong northern college nines, the Meiji University of Tokio, Japan, was humbled by Coach Johnny Burr's Howard University nine on the campus, Monday, before a record crowd, in a thrilling ten-inning game by the score, 4 to 3. The Orientalts started off as though they were to make a runaway of it and counted two runs in the first on a walk and two hits. From then until the ninth they were able to get but one hit off Downing who twice retired the side on strikes. Howard counted in the first when Hayshi threw bad on Monroe's grounder. A sacrifice and Townsend's hit pushed Monroe over. Doneghy's single to left with Baylor on third tied the count in the fourth. Baylor scored again in the sixth after getting on and advancing through Umeda's errors and crossing the plate on Doneghy's sacrifice. The foreigners threatened to win the game in the ninth and but for their wild base running might have succeeded. They did tie the score, however. In the tenth Downing started out to win his own game with a clean single to center. He was forced by Monroe who immediately stole second and scored when Townsend belted a clean single to center. Both pitchers were in rare form, with Downing, decidedly the better. The timely hitting of Townsend, and Doneghy and the fielding of Monroe and Hayshi featured.

HARMONY AGAIN IN EASTERN CIRCUIT (By Lloyd P. Thompson) Sound judgment has over-ruled petty differences in the baseball situation in the East, the internal strife that threatened to disrupt the present eight club circuit has been dispelled. At a special meeting of the Commissioners in Philadelphia, Monday, May 26th, directly after the meeting in which the Brooklyn entry was voted out of the organization, an amiable agreement was reached by the Commissioners to the effect that the Royal Giants and Lincoln Giants will meet in their scheduled games and that all games upon the official schedule drafted by the organization will be played. HILLDALE AND CUBANS SPLIT HOLIDAY GAMES Philadelphia, Pa., May 30—The Hilldale club and Cuban Stars broke even in a double-bill here today, the Cubans winning the first, 2-1 and the champions the second, 6-4. Oscar Lewis was in great form in the open er, allowing Hilldale but 3 hits. He drove over the winning run with a single. "Nimp" Winters had little trouble winning the second.

Whitehead) Lawrenceville, Va., May 31st—The Athletic Council awarded the following named young men the "St. P." official monogram on Monday, May 26th: Baseball—Charles Lemark Blackwell (Captain-Elect), Earl Francis Collins, Herman Glen Cooke, Joseph Edward Madden, Ashur Lee Maddux, Captain Wallace Thomas Parker, Theodore Clifton Quinn, John Warren Scriber, and James Green Wallace. Track and Field—Booker Taliaferro Pierce. Tennis—Betram Crummel Cassey and Clemmon Tazewell Wortham. Blackwell, Named Captain Blackwell Named Captain Charles Lenmark Blackwell, of Kenbridge, Va., the Tiger mainstay in the center field, was the unanimous choice of the baseball letter men for the captaincy of St. Paul's 1925 baseball team. That Blackwell would be elected to the coveted post without opposition was the prediction of those closely connected with St. Paul's athletics. This 200-pound sterling athlete played through St. Paul's 12-games schedule without an error. With the destiny of St. Paul's 1925 diamond machine in the hands of "Big" Blackwell, everything points to a remarkable year for the Lawrenceville boys. Wafer Wins Prize Walker Wins Prize Orville Greenleaf Walker, St. Paul's 1924 all-round athlete, was elected captain of the '24-'25 basketball team at the executive meeting of the varsity basketball squad on the 26th instant. While basketball at St. Paul is in its infancy, Walker, well known to the C. I. A. A schools in all the collegiate sports, is certain to pilot a formidable quintet next season. Walker won "The Crocker Athletic Prize" of $10 in gold for 1924. Banks, Track Leader William Henry Banks, the fleety youngster who led, by a safe margin, the Relay in the first heat at the Hampton Meet was elected captain of the Orange and Black Track and Field team for the ensuing year. Bank's teammates made their selection on merit only, for beyond a shadow of a doubt the incumbent is the man for the "job," he having done more for St. Paul on the cinder path than any other member of the Tiger squad. Banks is a good sport, a hard fighter and a leader of the first order. The selection of Banks bids fair to a great year in 1925 for the Brunswick County lads in Track and Field Activities.

FORMER NAT. 一 May 31st, Hilldale Park—"Script" Lee's underslung slants were too much for the Paterson Silk Sox to fathom and Hilldale handed Silk Sox a trimming, 4 to 2. Lee was touched up for nine hits by the Sox, but the bingles were only productive of two runs. Harry Harper, former Washington and Yankee hurler was on the mound for the visitors and pitched great ball up until the locals bunched bingles in the sixth for two tallies. Clint Thomas played a big part in the home club's victory, putting up a great defensive game beside featuring with his hitting and base running. Crowell and Braun featured in the field for the Silk Sox and captain Frank Warfield was the luminary for the Hildale outfit. The Hildale worked a perfect squeeze play in the sixth when Warfield and Thomas seceded on J. Johnson's bunt.

Scott, Tribune Sports Editor HOWARD-JAPANESE GAME Those who saw the game, Monday, between the baseball teams of Howard and the Mijii University of Tokyo, Japan, should feel a ray of hope for a mutual understanding between the darker races, should any international crisis arise. Never has the writer seen better examples of cordiality exercised on a baseball diamond. When a player slid the guardian of the base helped him up. One of the Japanese players sprained his ankle sliding into third and almost before he could be helped to the bench two of our leading physicians, Doctors T. Edward Jones and E. D. Williston were administering first aid treatment. More internationals games of this nature would cement a lasting impression between the American Negro and the Oriental. The Howard team and its coach, Johnny Burr, should be handed a word of praise for such a sterling performance against a foe of the calibre of the foreigners who it is claimed had lost one out of thirty-two starts in this country. The attendance was good considering the fact that the Washington public will not support athletic events. Attendance Records Reports from the double-header between the Cuban Stars and Hilldale clubs held at the Hildale park, Darby, Penn., stated that the crowd was so great that hundreds swarmed on the playing field and ground rules were necessary. At the Catholic Protectory Oval, New York City where the Lincoln Giants and Harrisburg Giants were battling almost the same conditions existed. Union League Ledroit Tigers-Teddy Bears (3 p.m., S.

Taylor of the Lincoln Giants, Britt of the Black Sox and Winters of Hildale are the leaders. "Stringbean" Williams of the Potomacs, is right up with the above group. SCHEDULE June 8- SCHEDULE The above is cited to give an idea how fans in other cities appreciate the Eastern Legaue clubs. At Griffith's stadium on May 30, less than 1500 saw the Potomac and Black Sox or less than one-fourth as many as witnessed the above games. Yet, the Negro population of Washington compares favorably with that of Philadelphia and New York. Although the Hildale Club, league champion of last year and the club that proved its superiority to the Philadelphia Athletics in a series of games last fall, will oppose the Potomacs here tomorrow; we don't expect to see any attendance records broken. The only answer is the Washington public will not support enterprises of their own that has any worthy future. League Commissioners Act The Eastern League Commissioners are to be commended for their action in ousting Nat Strong and his Royal Giants for threatening not to play out the schedule, even, if they did rescind their decision later. Since the advent of the circuit a general opinion has existed that the league was only a booking agency with Strong as the predominating figure. Strong, himself, has about formed the opinion that the league could not function without him. Trouble between Strong and Keenan, owner of the Lincoln Giants, has been brewing for some time. Last season the Royals and Lincoln did not play out their schedule. But the Commissioners would have none of that this year. The late action of the Commissioners proves that the new circuit is formed for unity and betterment of colored professional baseball in the East. TEDDY BEARS WIN EASY HOLIDAY GAME The Teddy Bears defeated the Rockville Giants in a one-sided exhibition game, 16 to 2. Briscoe was on the mound for the Bears and had the Giants at his mercy throughout the game. Williams played the hot corner in wonderful form. Stewart, Carroll, B.

It has been a long time since a colored jockey rode a winner on the flat at a New York track.

By winning this event Johnson proved that he possesses all his old-time form and is still America's chief reliance for the Olympic distance races. The 7-mile walk title was won by H. C. Freeman. It was won last year by Phillip Granville, the colored Canadian but due to a strained muscle that he received last week in the Canadian Olympia trails, Granville did not defend his title.

THEATRICAL NEWS WYERD MYSTERY OUTSTANDING FEATURE OF "UNKNOWN PURPLE" "The Unknown Purple" the adaptation of Roland West's stage play which opens for a four-day engagement at the Broadway Theatre to morrow, is one of the most thrilling photoplays which has come to Washington. Probably the outstanding feature of the picture is the uncanny manner in which the producers have handled the purple ray of light which predominates many of the scenes and in which there is a human body invisible to the eye. The work of that sterling artist, Henry B. Walthall, stands out also in his portrayal of the inventive genius who, betrayed by those he loved best, returned after seven years in prison, to take a wierd vengeance upon them. Supporting him are such well-known players as Alice Lake, Stuart Holmes, Ethel Grey Terry, Helen Ferguson, Brinsley Shaw, James Frankie Lee, Johnny Arthur and Mike Donlin. The story opens with Peter Marchmont in prison, where he learns from the man in the cell next to his that it was his own wife and her lover who betrayed him, stole all he possessed and sent him to prison. After his term expired, unrecognized now as his former self, Peter Marchmont returns and through the medium of the purple ray he has discovered, makes himself invisible at will and begins to undermine the existence of his former wife and her husband, the two who be trayed him. Through a series of uncanny, thrilling happenings he brings the man to the verge of ruin, makes love to the woman who was his wife and in the final gripping climax, when she agrees to flee with Marchmont, he urges her first to a deed which brings Marchmont his ultimate triumph of vengeance. MID-NIGHT SHOW A SUCCESS The Midnight Fashion Show and Vaudeville given by Mr. Walter Turner at the Lincoln Theatre on Thursday evening, May 29th, was quite a success. The display of dresses worn by the models was wonderful and taken from the stock of the Model Shop. The suits worn by the men were furnished by the University Shop. The stage setting was uniquely and artistically arranged and with the blue satin drop which was used the stage was beautiful at all times. The "Four Harmony Kings" took the house by storm and were forced to respond to several encores; Miss Lottie Gee, was welcomed with tremendous applause and had to appear several times; Randal and Carey were very good and gave a very interesting and amusing comedy number; Davis the dancing king, held the audience spell bound by his eccentric dancing. The above mentioned performers are all members of the "Bamville Company" which recently played in Baltimore and were the former stars of the famous "Shuffle Along" Company. The last feature of the program was the comedian act of our own "Red and Ratley" who always please. Too much cannot be said of the opening of the show by Miss Eloyce Newman and the Tango Fantasia by Miss Newman and Otello Garcia. The Spanish Dance by little Juanita Jones was cleverly done and received much applause. Miss Marguerite Butler in a sport golf suit carrying golf clubs was indeed stunning and won much applause; Miss Marguerite Laws as the "Bride" received commendation from all sides; Miss Mae Wormley representing bathing suits as they are today was perfect in her display; Miss Victoria Payne looked like a picture in her wonderful Mah Jong suit; Miss Charlea Williams received much ap- THREE DAYS A "REOL" MASTERPIECE "THE SCHEMERS" Acted by an All Star Colored Cast Thurs., Fri., and Sat.

Paul Beckley was especially good in his stage manner and his style of pose; Charley Burke, charmed the audience with his genial manners and classy style; Steve Green received special attention for his wonderful physique and fit of his clothes. The show went over big. Much credit is due the management for the success of the revue. PICTURES AND VAUDEVILLE AT THE REPUBLIC. The story of a lover who loved not wisely, but too often describes "Beau Brummel" starring John Barrymore, America's most distinguished actor, which will be shown at the Republic Theatre on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, June 8, 9, 10 and 11. "Beau Brummel" is a gorgeous presentation of the most vivid personality of romance. It is the story of the his friendship with the Prince of Wales; of the Beau's coldness to beauties of the day; his romances with mirrors and admiring ladies, and his subsequent fall to poverty and disgrace. Supporting Mr. Barrymore are Mary Astor, Carmel Myers, Irene Rich and Alee B. Francis. Because of the exceptional length of "Beau Brummel"—10 full reels—all short subjects must necessarily be eliminated during the engagement. The last three days of the week— Thursday, Friday and Saturday, June 12, 13 and 14—presents an all-star bill of vaudeville and pictures. The Happy Three, an act composed of three girls—Eleanore, Kathryn and Reginia—will be heard in the latest jazz songs of harmony. This act 7th and T Sts., N.W. Phone, North 5224 R. H. MURRAY, Mgr.

Gaskins The decision of the Court cf Appeals in the Case OF VOTTigan et al. vs. Buckley, generally referred to as the “Curtis case,” was delivered by Mr. Justice Van Orsdel on Monday and is printed in full elsewhere in this issue. ‘As this case is likely to be far reaching in its effects, it is to be hoped that its scope and effect will not be misconstrued nor mis- understood. The sum and substance of the decision is that a covenant whereby the owners of certain parcels of land agree among themselves that nene of them will sell, convey, or lease any of such land to a Negro is not invalid as contrary to the pro- visions of the United States Constitution, nor void as against public policy. In so far as the decision holds that the covenant therein de- scribed is not within the inhibition of the Constitution, it seems to be agreed by lawyers generally that it is in aecord with the great weight of authority on that point. It has been held by the Supreme Court of the United States in a number of cases that the 14th Amendment, invoked by the defendants in the Curtis Case, applies exclusively to action by the state and has no refer- ence to action by individuals. The precise question involved in the Curtis case however, has not been before the Supreme Court of the United States; but, in the only Federal case directly in point (Gondolfo vs. Hartman), such a covenant was held to be repugnant to the 14th Amendment; and as this was the case re- lied upon by the defendant's counsel, it is to be regretted that no reference was made to that decision by the learned Justice in his opinion. Nevertheless, we have nothing to gain by a lack of candor and frankness in the discussion of matters of public interest and we must therefore admit that not only the greater number, but as it appears to us, the better reasoned cases, which have dealt with the subject hitherto, are in accord with the opinion in the Curtis case so far as the Constitutional question is involved. , But as far as the court holds that such a contract is not con- trary to public policy, the decision is more open to question. Of the cases relied upon to sustain this point, Queensborough Land Co. vs. Cazeau (a Louisiana case), was based upon a con- struction of statutes in a system derived from the civil law, whereas, in this jurisdiction, questions of public policy are set- tled upon principles of the common law of England, as modified by statutes and the customs of our country. The two other cases cited in support of his opinion by Mr. Justice Van Orsdel are Koehler vs. Rowland (a Missouri case), and Los Angeles Invest- ment Co. vs. Gary (a California case). In the latter of these a sharp distinction was made between covenants designed to pre- vent the USE AND OCCUPANCY of lands by, and those designed to prevent TRANSFER OF TITLE to, Negroes. This distinction seems to have been entirely overlooked by the learned Justice who wrote the decision in the Curtis case. In the Gary case, the California Supreme Court distinctly said: “The condition that the property be not sold, leased or rented to ‘one not of Caucasian blood is clearly a restraint on the alienation ......and is, therefore, repugnant to the interest created by the deed... .... The condition however, that the property should not be OCCUPIED by persons not of Caucasian birth is in a differ- ent category. It is not a restraint upon the ALIENATION [transfer of title or sale] but upon the use of property.” This distinction may be of no practical moment as far as the property, or rather properties, that gave rise to the controver- sies of which the Curtis case is one, are concerned; still it seems: to us, that the force of the decision is lessened by the failure of | the court to take notice of the distinction between attempted re- straints upon ALIENATION and those upon the USE to which real property may be put. The difference is substantial and im- portant and has been expressly recognized in many cases. In the California case, the Supreme Court of that state calls attention to this distinction and approves a case in that state where the precise question involved in the Curtis case was treated with elaborate and apparently unanswerable legal logic, and where the court reached a conclusion entirely at variance with the conclusion of our Court of Appeals. Unfortuntely, this case (Title Guaranty Trust Co. vs. Garrott, 183 Pacific Reporter, page 471), does not seem to have been called to the attention of the court in the Curtis case. Just what effect it might have had upon the minds of the learned Justices of the Court of Appeals we can- not say. It may not have appealed to them as it does to us, as unanswerable in its legal logic. In the Garrott case the Supreme Court of California expressly notices the Queensborough Land Co. and the Koehler cases as be- ‘ing “the ONLY cases which have come under our notice wherein the courts have passed directly upon a condition in a deed such as that now before us”; and of them it says: “As we are con- strained to disagree with each of these cases, a somewhat more elaborate presentation of the reasons for our conclusion is de- manded than ordinarily would suffice.” After an elaborate re- view of the authorities and an extended history of the rise and growth of the doctrine announced, the Court concludes, “for these reasons, we hold that the conditions against alienation (i.e. to any person of African, Chinese or Japanese descent) is a con- dition repugnant to the fee simple estate created by the grantor of the deed and is...... void.” . _ It ig difficult for a popular organ to discuss the intricate ques- tions involved, but we refer the curious minded to the cases above noted, which were relied upon by the Court of Appeals, and to which we have adverted. It is to be hoped that the decision will not be allowed to stand unchallenged. It is impossible to predict the practical results that will flow therefrom. Conditions in the real estate market are controlled by the laws of supply and demand. Changes in neighborhoods are more the result of fluctuations due to normal and natural growths of the community, than to decisions of courts. The efforts of individuals to limit and restrain, according to their ae and prejudices, the alienation of land are generally abor- ive. We feel that the worst evil to be expected from the decision is the lowering of the morale of our group. Rightfully or wrong- fully, it has long been the impression of the Negro that his rights are not as jealously guarded by the courts as they should be; and it is to be regretted that a decision so contrary to the hones of so large a part of the community should not have been based upon more eats el reasoning. Those of us who know from long experience that the courts 0: District of Columbia are religiously zealous to do ee stice between litigants ré less of color are always ready, filling, and amclous tp justify detisions that ave distectefal 16 THE WASHINGTON iitintwi? SATURDAY, JUNE 7, 1924 |them with the righteousness and infallibility of the courts. we|« ‘cannot do so when we are unable to square such decisions with! jour own notions of legal principle. 1 It is to be regretted also that the learned Justice who wrote | this decision, went outside of the issue to discuss questions not |therein involved. For, while at the outset the opinion stated: |“We are not dealing with the validity of a statute or municipal | law,.or ordinance,” fully one-third of the opinion, if not more, is|* | taken up with a discussion of those matters, And just what legal or logical connection the question of “social equality” can have’ | with the rights of individuals to impose restraints upon the sale * | of veal property, it is hard to see. Yet the learned Justice takes | occasion to remind us, “Nor can the social equality of the races ! be attained either by legislation or by forcible assertion of as-|§ sumed rights.” As he had previously pointed out, no question |‘ of legislation’ was involved; and we are at a loss to understand the reference to “forcible assertion of assumed rights.” May it|/ not be that at that point at least, the learned Justice himself |! | “‘misconeeived the veal question herein involved”? ; | eee te eee | POLITICAL OUTLOOK OF THE NEGRO jb Not since the Negro was disfranchised by the Bourbon South, has he been the factor in a presidential campaign that he will be in lthe forthcoming one. The outlook is bright and propitious for ‘political worth and advancement, if properly directed and en- | couraged. The first item of interest is the fact that the Negro is learning |the evident lesson that the Republican party is and has been a [hypocrite to him. Republicans have made many promises ‘to the | Negro before election day but forgot them when the polls closed \on that day. Therefore, the thinking Negro is realizing that the | Republicans have been making a fool out of him, riding into | office on his vote and leaving him out in the cold. Hence, with | the realization of what a fool he has beenicomes the question of | what is the next best thing to do? In answering that question | he has cast about for a place in the political sun and has begun | to split his vote, which is the logical thing to do. | The Republicans have set on nominating Calvin Coolidge at Cleveland. Having experienced nine months of Mr. Coolidge, the | Negro has had an opportunity to judge his actions as president. | Many have concluded that he is not the man and will refuse to |vote for him. Coolidge is neither feared, respected nor obeyed | and his nomination at Cleveland will only be folly on the part of the party. In New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Indiana, Tli- /nois and Ohio the Negro was a factor by casting his vote with ‘the Democrats in the election of 1922. It is expected that he | will be a larger factor in the Democratic majorities in those states | this fall, depending on who the nominee will be at the convention in New York. | | However, the last ten days has brought out new possibilities |for the Negro and extended his political opportunities. This |change is brought about by the possibility of Senator La Fol- Nae running on an independent ticket, The Negroes who are dissatisfied and yet are so “honor bound” to the Republican party ‘will have an opportunity to vote for Senator La Follette if he ‘should run as an independent. ‘Senator La Follette comes from} |e state where there are few Negro voters. The census of 1920 gave 5,201 living in Wisconsin. Therefore, the Negro in Wis- consin is a small factor. But, the Senator has generally been for the right in all things and does not hesitate to say so. He has the courage of his convictions, which is far more than can be said of many jelly-spined, butter-mouthed Republicans. He is an out- standing figure in the Senate and wields more power in the 68th. Gongress than he ever possessed before. His fight for bills a measures for the benefit of the people of this country as against the vested interests has been consistent and persevering. His. fight for farmer and railroad legislation before this session of Congress closes, will make him the outstanding candidate of the farmers this fall. If Senator La Follette runs for. president_independently this fall, he will probably carry eight states: Iowa, Minnesota, Wis- consin, North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Montana and Washington. Should the Socialists throw their votes to La Follette along with the labor and farmer vote, Mr. Coolidge and the Democra- tic nominee may find that neither of them will be able to secure ‘the 266 electoral votes necessary to elect in the electoral college. The Ku Klux Klan issue in Indiana will be a factor in that state this fall. The Republican nominee for Governor is an avowed Klan candidate and will force the Republican party to endorse the Klan, with Coolidge as heading the Klan ticket. There are more than 125,000 Negro voters in Indiana. With that vote solidly against the Klan, they can defeat the Republicans in that State: this fall. If that vote is thrown to La Follette he may carry Indiana. If neither candidate gets 266 electoral votes, then the election will be thrown into the House of Representatives, which will be composed as at present. As the voting there would be by states —only one vote for each state and no vote for states that are tied in their representation—it is possible that the House would fail to elect a president and the contest would then go to the Senate. In that event La Follette controls the Senate with his progressive alignment. Therefore, Robert M. LaFollette running as inde- pendent candidate this fall may mean that he will name the next president of the United States when the contest comes to the Senate for final settlement. In New York the Negroes are demanding a candidate for the 21st District on the Republican ticket. Tammany has favored the Negroes so that the Republicans have lost Harlem and in or- der to stage a come back they will possibly nominate a Negro in the 21st District for Congress. In Indiana, a Negro is running for the State Legislature on the Democratic ticket. There is talk of Dr. Alexander of New Jer- sey running for Congress this fall. It would be a fine thing to | have Representatives from New York and New Jersey in the 69th Congress. There is no plausible excuse why the Negroes of the First District of Illinois should not have a candidate, even ‘if they should have to run him independently. We must force | recognition for our candidates and vote against the man or men | who denies that recognition. |. We must nominate and run some candidates, even if we have ie run them independently, to prove to the political bosses that we are not Republican serfs any longer, but have our own con- | Eecttons and stand by them.
