In politics, the Negro represents the proverbial "down but not out." Indeed this year finds the race "down" so far as practical results from political efforts are concerned, but he certainly is not "out" of politics. In fact, he is more "in" this year than since Reconstruction. Democratic Presidential nomination William G. McAdoo, has gone out of his way to assure the Negro voter that they shall have his consideration; and if elected, he will not do anything inimical to their interests. Although the Negroes in the North never give nany considerable vote to a Democrat in a National Election yet, the coming campaign will be interesting to watch for this reason alone. It is a known fact, however The Negro scans the political horizon this Presidential election year with both a rising and a setting sun. The setting sun is the waning of the race's enthusiasm for the Republican party, while the rising sun is represented by the desire of the uncontrolled masses to vote for men and measures, regardless of party affiliation. It is because of these facts that the Negro suddenly finds himself a bigger factor in the pre-campaign talk of all parties than ever before. This fact is made more important owing to the recent migration to certain mid-western states. Because of this migration, the Negro vote will in all probability, be the balance of power in nearly twenty states. If this is true, it will not be long before the old saying of "As Maine goes, the Nation goes," will be discarded and in its place this substituted: "As the Negro goes, the election goes." The recent Republican National Convention, which met in Cleveland, gave the Negro more consideration than in a decade. In only a few instances, were contests decided against Negro contestants. For the first time, Negroes appeared in Northern delegations as Delegates-at-Large. Also, a Negro, Dr. George E. Cannon, seconded the nomination of President Coolidge. In addition to these facts, two Negroes were elected and seated as National Committeemen and two Negro women were appointed National Committeewomen. While the Republican chiefs were doing these things, however, the platform committee of the G. O. P. was soft pedaling the main questions the masses are interested in, namely, the Ku Klux Klan issue, the anti lynching law and national segregation. The Republican chiefs have before them the results of several stinging defeats handed to the party during the last two years, by the Negro changing his vote either to independent or Democratic. New York, Chicago and Baltimore are not soon to be forgotten by the once party of Lincoln. The Negro is also thinking of the public alliance of the Klan in Indiana with Jim Watson one of the "Old Guard" Republican leaders. Realizing that Negroes are human, the late Chas. Murphy of Tammany Hall, New York City, started out after the race's vote; and by giving them consideration in patronage and municipal improvements bountiful, he completely alienated this vote from the Republicans in the Empire state. Murphy's experiment in New York City quickly spread throughout the Democratic domain. So, today the Democratic chiefs are actually planning to try to capture the entire Negro vote in the North. The strongest candidate for the Vol. 4, No. 6 The Washington Tribune Published Weekly Democratic Presidential nomination, William G. McAdoo, has gone out of his way to assure the Negro voters that they shall have his consideration; and if elected, he will not do anything inimical to their interests. Although the Negroes in the North, never give many considerable vote to a Democrat in a National Election, yet, the coming campaign will be interesting to watch for this reason alone. It is a known fact, however, that the Democrats are going to make a fight for this support. As proof of this changing attitude, this paper was offered a seat in the press section, with full privileges at the coming Democratic convention, which will be held in the famous Madison Square Garden, New York City, next week. While the two major parties will be fighting for the Negro vote, United States Senator Robert Marion LaFollette of Wisconsin, who, it is reliably claimed will run on an independent ticket for the Presidency, will also be angling for this same support. It must be remembered, that had it not been for Senator LaFollette, Walter Cohen would not have been confirmed as Comptroller of Customs at New Orleans. It was practically through LaFollette's persuasion that Senator Shipstead of Minnesota, a follower of LaFollette, moved for reconsideration, and thereby brought the Cohen nomination again before a Republican Senate, that had twice before turned him down. With the aid of the LaFollette group and the Northern Democrats, Cohen was appointed to a job in New Orleans, La., after three years of fighting, he being thus the only race appointment of the Harding and Coolidge administrations in the South. Senator LaFollette and his group, in both the House and Senate, supported the full Howard University appropriation, when the hour was darkest last spring. Therefore, it can reasonably be expected that LaFollette, if he decides to run, will not let such a record lay idle in his office desk. It is a known fact that he is very popular with a large group of colored voters. With these three big political groups actively bidding for the race's support, it will not be surprising to see many new campaign slogans, and also a decided change in the hearts of many hard-boiled politicians. The Negro has suddenly found himself the chief prize of the politicians, instead of his old role of "National foot stool." Just how the race, in general, will react to the new developments, of course, cannot be forecast. However, one thing is sure, the old alignment will not hold this year. The Republican spellbinder cannot scare the colored voters by showing them the ghost of a Democrat. The Democratic orators, will in all probability, discover that the Negro is not the joke they have pictured him, but is something practical and lovable after all. The Ku Klux Klan will be a big factor this year, but their many statements about not hating the Negro will have little or no effect on the WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, JUNE 21, 1924 Local Boys Win Honors at College Among the usual group of colored students of the foremost Eastern colleges, the records of William Allison Davis and William H. Hastie, both of this city, stand conspicuously in the forefront. Each year some of the scholastic as well as the athletic honors of our Eastern schools have gone to students of color, but this year the unusual has happened. At Williams College, that staid New England institution of learning, which this year holds its one hundred and thirtieth commencement, William Allison Davis, a graduate of the Dunbar High School of Washington, occupies the stage. The Williams Alumni Review for June in commenting on Davis' record says: "Williams College has always given colored students every opportunity to qualify for her bachelor of arts degree, the only degree granted for undergraduate effort. Her list of Negro graduates is not large but among these are men of marked ability holding responsible positions in the business and professional world. William Allison Davis of Washington stands out as the scholar par excellence in the graduating class with summa cum laude rank, no classmate attaining the magna cum laude honor, next in order, something out of the ordinary but. This fact has not been her heralded as has been accepted on the campus as a matter of course without thought of racial differences. "At the annual banquet of the Williams' chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, Allison Davis was chosen by his classmates to speak for the chapter and not for years has there been a more (Continued on page 3) Local Girl Is Awarded Prize Miss Dorothy Douglass Ferrebee was presented a gold medal and a check for $15.00 as winner of the First State Award in a recent National Safety Essay Contest. The presentation was made at the Slater-Langston School, June 13th. Dr. Johnson, Mr. Wilkinson, assistant superintendent of public schools, Mr. Bruce and Miss Shadd, supervisory principals, spoke in complementary terms of Miss Ferrebee's success and gave her much encouragement and advice for her future. The Contest was held in the Autumn by the Highway Education Board, subject, "Highway Safety Habits I Should Learn." It was open to all pupils of the Elementary Schools. At the time the essays were written Miss Ferrebee was a pupil of the 8B Grade Slater-Langston School, from which she graduated in February a Salutatorian of her class. At present she is a freshman at Dunbar High School. Local school officials and friends are delighted with the record she has made in that she represented the schools last year by winning Third State Award, a bronze medal and a check for $5.00. Miss Ferrebee is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David D. Ferrebee of Washington, D. C., formerly of Norfolk. Va. WHITE YOUTHS BEAT UP POLICEMAN Zion Churches Here Get New Pastors Zion Churches Here Get New Pastors Rev. H. J. Callis and Rev. W. O. Carrington get New Assignments The Philadelphia and Baltimore Conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church met last week in Philadelphia, beginning Wednesday continuing through Sunday. The Conference Assignments effected many changes in local Zion Churches. However, many of the changes were made necessary because of the election to various offices in the Church of local pastors at the recent General Conference, which met in Indianapolis, Indiana. Rev. C. P. Williams of Philadelphia, Pa., succeeds Rev. E. D. W. Jones at Union Wesley on 23rd Street, N.W., who was elected Bishop at the last General Conference. Washington D.C. will not lose Bishop Jones however, as he will continue his residence here. Rev. W. O. Carrington, popular pastor of John Wesley, has been assigned to New Rochelle, N.Y. to succeed Rev. C. E. Alleyne, who was also promoted to the Bishoprie. Rev. Carrington was elected editor of the A. M. E. Zion Review at the General Conference, so he is given a smaller charge, so he will have sufficient time to devote to his editing. Rev. H. T. Medford of Knoxville, Tenn., was transferred to the Philadelphia-Baltimore Conference and was appointed to succeed Rev. Carrington at John Wesley. Rev. H. J. Callis, pastor of Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church, S.W., was transferred from this Conference to the Tennessee Conference and given the assignment at Knoxville, succeeding Rev. Medford. Rev. Callis is succeeded at Metropolitan by Rev. E. B. Watson of Boston. Rev. W. D. Battle, pastor of Galbraith A. M. E. Zion, on 6th Street, N.W., while at first was slated to be moved, was returned to his charge. Rev. James H. Tucker, of this City, was made Presiding Elder of this District, succeeding Rev. S. Q. Swann, who died during the Conference year. As these changes all become effective at once, many new faces will be seen in local pulpits Sunday morning. Record Number Graduate Here The graduating exercises of the city schools were held last week. A record number graduated. Colorful exercises marked the closing of each school. The total number from the two high schools and Miner Normal being nearly four hundred and fifty. The contest for scholarships and prizes this year was more spirited than ever before. The successful winners were as follows: Armstrong: Howard University Scholarship, Louis Armstead Hansborough; Frederick Russell Drew and Jennie Violin Green; Major James E. Walker Memorial Medal, Frederick C. Ellis. Dunbar: Amherst College, Lt. Clarence White; Dartmouth College, Capt. Howard Payne; Hamilton College, Capt. Joseph Jenkins; Lincoln University, Peter Hall; New York University, College of Engineering, Lt. Col.

(The latest bill introduced was H. R. 9635, introduced June 3, 1924 by Rep. Cramton of Mich.) The Secretary of the Interior (under whose department the University appropriation are now made) in a recent address at the Howard University commencement, stated that he expected or hoped to see this event consumed before the next annual graduation. iizing situate uncertaint support gratu will n grees longs How by the not purpose in the Congr The reason for this proposal is obvious. The governmental grant to Howard University is a precarious gratuity. It has been renewed for forty-five years by gratis, grace and goodness of Congress. There is no law or statutory authorization for this appropriation. Up to the present Congress a point of order by a single member would lie against it in the House of Representatives, but such a point would be over ruled in the Senate. But it now develops that by a recent rule of the upper chamber like objections will lie against it in that body also. This doubles the precariousness of our appeal. Several times this appropriation has been thrown out of the House on a point of order, only to be restored by the Senate. But now it depends upon unanimous consent of both houses. Basically however, this appropriation rests upon the moral equity of the colored race which all parties and all sections of the country fully appreciate and recognize. But its accomplishment is jeopardized by a parliamentary technicality and may be defeated by the objection of two members, one in either house. The legislators of the country real- Dr. L. K. Williams To Speak Here Sunday Washington Church-goers will have their first opportunity Sunday, in recent years, to hear Dr. L. K. Williams of Chicago, Ill., pastor of the World's largest Baptist Church and president of the National Baptist Convention.

Sunday night at 8 o'clock. Dr. Williams will preach at Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, corner 3rd and I Streets, Northwest, of which Rev. W. A. Jernagin is pastor. On Monday, Dr. Williams will be special guest of the Baptist Ministers' Conference of the District of Columbia. A special committee composed of Dr. S. G. Lamkins, chairman; Dr. James A. L. Washington; secretary; Dr. W. H. Jernagin, Dr. W. J. Howard, Dr. Aquilla Sayles, Dr. W. D. Jarvis, Dr. J. H. Randolph, Dr. A. J. Tyler, Dr. J. E. Willis, Dr. G. O. Bullock, Dr. W. A.

Green, vice-president; Dr. J. I. Loving, secretary and Dr. W. J. Howard, treasurer will have charge of the program which will be held at Metropolitan CAL HO EAT UP PO MENT MAY ONTROL OF ARD UNIVERSITY Miller izing the difficulty and danger of the situation have proposed to relieve the uncertainty by frankly making the support of Howard University a governmental obligation instead of a gratuity. So that the administration will not have anually to beg of Congress as a mendicant, that which belongs to the colored race as a right. Howard University was chartered by the Congress of the United States, not because of its national aim and purpose, but because it was located in the District of Columbia, of which Congress is the local legislature. All incorporated organizations of this jurisdiction must receive their charter from the same source. The University was the outgrowth of the ill-fated Freeman's Bureau, and was for some time fostered through help from that source. But so were scores of other schools founded by General O. O. Howard, in his capacity as head of that branch of the government which had charge of the interest of the freedmen. The national intent of the University really began with direct Congressional appropriations. This was begun under the administration of President Patton in 1879. The Freedmen's Bureau had been abolished amid much confusion and rumors of scandal and corruption. The props upon which the university rested were suddenly pulled away. There seemed little hope for the institution according to the plan and purpose of the founders. President Patton saved the day by turning to Congress for relief. This was a mere expediency in the midst of an emergency, but he built differently, if not better than he knew. This act profoundly changed the (Continued on page 3) Need For More Playgrounds To Be Met Need For More Playgrounds To Be Met According to plans now, being worked out by Mrs. Rhodes of the playgrounds department of the District, there should be less reason for children playing in the streets this summer than ever before. Many new playgrounds will be opened this summer and additional equipment will be placed on some of those now open. Last summer there were over seventeen playgrounds for colored children; this year, according to Mrs. Rhodes, these grounds and several others will be opened, beginning with the first week in July. For a number of years, the playground facilities for colored children has been greatly inadequate to properly care for the various communities. One reason assigned for this condition was the lack of funds to open the grounds with. This year, Congress has been more liberal and the much needed relief in this department of the city's civic activity will probably be realized. The program will begin with a breakfast at 9:30 a.m., and will be followed with a complete program of speeches. Dr. Williams is on his way to Hampton Institute, where he will take part in their special Ministers' Institute. Office: 920 U St., N.W. Washington's Best Advertising Medium. W. Price 5 Cents ORIZON POLICEMAN Was Making an Arrest When Attacked Riot Call Sent in by Citizen Believed to have Saved Officer's Life While carrying his prisoner to a patrol box at Chesapeake Junction, District Line last Saturday evening, Policeman C. F. Hawkins of the Eleventh Precinct was very badly beaten, forced to give up the man in custody, his club and other equipment. There are two versions of the affair.. One is that the officer took ill, when taking his man to the box and called by-standers for help. Those nearby misunderstood the situation and engaged in a free-for-all fight. This resulted in several lacerations of the body, a broken arm and a general shaking up for the officer. Officer Hawkins, however, does not believe this to be the case. He thinks it was a direct attempt upon part of the friends of the man under arrest to aid in his escape. The sounding of a riot call by a citizen, who came to the assistance of the officer, averted graver circumstances. Several arrests have been made in connection with the affair and it is thought the guilty ones will soon be within the clutches of the law. Seventeen Pass Va. Dental Examination Reports from the dental examinations of the Virginia State Board held at Richmond last week show that fifteen colored dentists successfully stood the test out of nineteen examined. Of the total, eleven were Howard Dental School graduates while eight came from Meharry College. Only one Howard man failed.

BISHOP CLAIR At the recent meeting of the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Bishop Matthew W. Clair, formerly pastor of Asbury M. E. Church, of this city, was assigned to a newly created district, with headquarters at Covington, Ky. In speaking of this change, the Southwestern Christian Advocate said: "In order to conserve the interests of our Methodism in the territory where so many of our people are going from the South, another Episcopal Area was created and headquarters established at Covington, Kentucky, just across the river from Cincinnati. This location was thought best because of our Publishing and other interests grouped at Cincinnati. "The New Episcopal residence, called the Covington Area, will be under the General Superintendency of Bishop Matthew W. Clair, who during the last quadrennium was at Monrovia, Liberia, Africa. Bishop Clair's ripe experience as long time Pastor and District Superintendent in the border Conferences in the home field together with his years of distinguished Missionary service in Africa admirably adapt him for splendid leadership and generally anticipated achievement in his new residence in the Covington Area. "Embraced within his area are the Lincoln, Liberia, Little Rock, Lexington, and Central Missouri Conferences. Even before leaving the Springfield Conference the Bishop had called together such leading men and women of his territory as were present at the Conference, and steps were taken toward organization for a quadrennium of marked success."

MINER NORMAL GIVES DIPLOMAS TO 116 YOUNG TEACHERS CLASS LARGEST IN HISTORY (By Ike Murray) One hundred sixteen young mer and women, having completed a two-year course at the Miner Normal school, received diplomas of graduation Wednesday evening at the Dunbar High, amid the applause of friends and relatives, who assembled earlier in the evening to attend the exercises. The class being the largest in the history of the school, represented the following departments: 104 graduates from the primary branch, including two with college degrees, three from the kindergarten and from home economics nine. The big auditorium of the school was brilliantly decorated with ferns and other floral designs, forming an appropriate background for those seated on the rostrum. The sweet strains that came from the well-trained orchestra engaged for the occasion, made the affair one of refined choice and enjoyment. Mrs. Coralie Cook, a member of the Board of Education who was to have presided was out of town and Mrs. Betty R. Francis, a former member of the school board acted instead. Prof. Charles N. Wesley of Howard University delivered the address to the graduates taking as his subject "the New Leadership," and impressed upon them the necessity of sticking to their profession, thereby consecrating themselves to the cause. The speaker took the opportunity to congratulate the graduates upon their excellent showing reminding them that the occasion was only a beginning and that the years to come would decide for them their living and whatever achievement they might make. The graduates also received words of encouragement from Mr. G. C. Wilkinson, superintendent in charge of colored schools, who lauded the progress of the Miner Normal, declaring it was the best in the country for young men and women of the race. The presentation of diplomas was made by Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, a member of the Board of Education. The class song was the feature of the evening. Miss Elizabeth Leonora Bennett wrote the words while Miss Anna Wright Jones wrote the music.

Vegetable Shampoo Soap GOVERNMENT CONTROL FOR HOWARD UNIVERSITY (Continued from page one.) character of the University and gave it a basis of claim as the national university for the colored race. I doubts if there is any other single act in the history of Negro education that is fraught with greater consequences than this. This act alone gives to William W. Patton a fixed placed in the history of Negro education. For this happy consumption at this critical juncture, the future course of the university can only be a matter of curious speculation. Would private philanthropy have come to the rescue or would it have died of malnutrition? From the meager beginning of ten thousand dollars, the annual appropriations have gone on steadily increasing until now it amounts to some two hundred thousand dollars. The gratuity has been multiplied by twenty in forty-five years, and yet it still is a gratuity. The next significant step in the progress of this appropriation occurred under the administration of President Thirkfield. So far as I can learn, it had been the policy of the government from the foundation until then, never to grant a building or any permanent contribution to a private institution. President Thirkfield persuaded the government to give the university a Science Building at a cost of $90,000 which is easily equal to two hundred thousand dollars today. He also secured from the same source a building for applied science at a cost of $20,000. Upon the basis of this foundation, the University has up to date secured buildings of upward of half million dollars from the Federal Government. Not only so, but the government was induced to operate a joint heating plant for Howard University and the Freedmen's Hospital which is owned and operated by the Government. The statutory relation of the University and Freedmen's Hospital binds this institution to the government by bonds that are all but indissoluble. I daresay that this is the only instance in the United States where the government has erected buildings and gone into co-partnership with a private institution. The transformation will be far reaching and profound. At present, the university is owned and controlled by a private corporation of self-responsible trustees for the advancement of the colored race. They have been able to persuade the government to contribute to its partial support on the grounds of obvious necessity and duty. The government has stood as a step-mother to the Universtiy. The appropriations have been generous and magnificent, only in view of the left-handed relationship of Federal authority. But as measured against the magnitude of the task to which these grants have been applied, they have been lamentably meagre and inadequate. The Government of the United States contributes less for the support of Howard University with a clientel of ten million than the state of West Virginia grants to its state college for higher education of one hundred thousand Negroes. The State Normal School for colored students at Cheyney, Pa., is asking for a grant of eight hundred thousand dollars as against the two hundred thousand which Congress grants to Howard. There is not a progressive state in the country where separate schools exist that does not appropriate a larger allowance for the maintenance of the higher level of Negro education, than Congress allows Howard University. But when the Government assumes the responsibility, we may expect that the provisions will be adequate to the task assumed. It will then not be a question of minimum amount, but merely a question of what sum the institution can use to good advantage in the field in which it operates. This will be an experiment in government control of education. At present the Bureau of Education has no clearly defined function in the continental United States. It is mainly a statistical agency for the dissemination of educational knowledge and information. It does however, operate schools in the oversea possessions of the nation. When, as has been proposed, this Bureau is raised to the rank of a cabinet department of the government, its function will necessarily be enlarged. Howard University, if included, will doubtless be the most important educational interest that it will be called upon to handle. Just how far this contemplated transformation may serve the institution from its mapped-out course, how far political manipulation may get in its sinister work, how the educational destiny of ten million Negroes may be affected thereby are deep fraughted questions which will tax the statesmanship of the trustees, faculty, alumni and friends of the university and of the whole Negro race. The suggested legislation is of the deepest concern to all who are interested in the higher education of the Negro race and whose duty it is to think upon these things.

Davis is a self-supporting student, earning his board by waiting on table at one of the oldest fraternity chapters of the college. He rooms in Fayerweather Hall. In fact one of the rooms in Sage Hall, the new dormitory opened this year, is occupied by a colored student. This is democracy. . . Williams College is proud of the record of William Allison Davis, summa cum laude student." Amherst College, the sister institution to Williams, has in William H. Hastie another distinguished young man of color. A record just as unique in its way as that of Davis is being established by this brilliant Washington lad. Although just completing his junior year he has during the current month been elected to the honorary society of Phi Beta Kappa with the added distinction of being chosen the president of the Massachusetts Beta Chapter of the organization. H is the first colored student to be accorded this honor. Young Hastie is not only a student of high intellectual capacity, but is also an athlete of more than average ability, having proved one of the strongest assets of the Amherst track team during the past season. Both Mr. Davis and Mr. Hastie are active members of the Alpha Psi Phi Fraternity. LOCAL BOY WINS HONOR Woolsey W. Hall, of this city, led his class at the recent graduation at Howard University.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY. JUNE 21. 1924 NEGRO IS BIG POLITICAL FACTOR (Continued from page one.) colored voters. As the Klan is very likely to be well entrenched in both old parties, it seems at the present time, because of this fact, many Negro votes will be cast for Senator LaFollette who, so far, has not the support of this outlaw organization. While the Klan is very strong in the East and Middle West, it is not so in the Northwestern states from whence the Senator derives his main support. There is little doubt that if the Negro properly votes this year, he will advance his political and economic status by many years. The long waited for opportunity appears to be at hand. Will the race take advantage of it, or will it let it slip like those of the past? Now is the hour for leaders. The masses are ready to be led. Will this era produce another Frederick Douglass, or will the petty, mediocre, hat-in-hand leaders be again permitted to mis-represent the views and aspirations of the progressive element? Will the Negro worship the setting sun, or will he cast his eyes to the east for the sun that is rising? Between now and November, this question must be answered. Principal for Cardinal Gibbons Institute Mr. Victor Daniel, of the Manual Training School, Bordentown, NJ, has been engaged as principal of the Cardinal Gibbons Institute, to take effect July 1, at a meeting of the Board of Trustees held here on June 6, The Board also engaged Mrs. Daniel as assistant-principal and matron. Mr. Daniel is a graduate of Tuskegee. He taught at St. Joseph's College, Montgomery, Alabama, conducted by the Josephite Fathers, and later at Tuskegee. He has been at Bordentown, a State school for colored, for the past six years as commandant and dean of the boy's department. Mrs. Daniel is a graduate of Atlanta University, Atlanta, Ga., and has had several years of experience teaching in Tuskegee and several other institutions in the South. At the same meeting of the Board of Trustees, four prominent colored men and women were added to the Board: Mr. N. T. Velar, a well-known citizen of Pittsburgh and vicinity; Professor Thomas Turner, for several years a professor at Howard University and now going to Hampton Institute; Miss Coraline L. Cook, a public school teacher of Baltimore, who has served as chairman of the Baltimore Cardinal Gibbons Institute Auxiliary; and Mrs. Minnie T. Wright, secretary of the Boston Cardinal Gibbons Institute Committee. The bylaws of the corporation were amended to provide that on the Executive Board there shall be at least two colored representatives in addition to the principal of the school. The main building of the institution is under construction and school will be opened about the first of October. Provisions are being made for both boys and girls in separate departments. The regular academic department will begin with the sixth grade and continue as rapidly as possible with complete high school, and later beyond. SENIOR NORMAL CLASS PRESENT "THE LIGHT." A PAGEANT IN ELEVEN CLIMBERS Friday evening, June 13th was class night at Miner Normal School and the special feature on the program was the presentation of "The Light," a pageant in Eleven Glimmers rendered by members of the senior class in the assembly hall of the school. The play started promptly at 8 o'clock and was closely followed by those interested in the cause of educational advancement. Education explained her position in each glimmer and made it plain that there could be no compromise as to her mission, that no true democracy could exist without her and that wherever her light shone, the power of her knowledge was also there. The pageant ends with the Eleventh Glimmer, "Education's Dream," a complete triumph over ignorance. A large and appreciative audience was present.

Beautiful Girl Reveals Secret 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 sallow complexion to a clear, lovely skin, glowing with health. For pimples and other skin blemishes, it has no equal. If I am as beautiful as people say, it is all due to Exelento preparations.

It is alleged that Williams has broken training rules more than once during the present season. Sunday, he again went contrary to orders and drew a fine which he resented and the release followed. Williams has been of little service to the club for two weeks or more on account of a sore arm. Whether or not he will be able to land with another club is questionably. When in condition there are none better despite his long years of service.

The first with the Asbury Club went fourteen innings, and was featured by the clever hurling of Hager for the Giants and Colbert's double to center scoring Allen, and Fairfax in the ninth tied the score. In the fourteenth inning the Giants pushed over the deciding run. The second game was also won by the Giants 3 to 2. The game being featured by the effective pitching of Joe Harris for the winner. The Giants are issuing a defi to all unlimited clubs. Manager Jimmie Carroll, 2135 Newport Place, N.W., is receiving challenges. The Potomacs closed their home stay Sunday by taking a thrilling game from the Atlantic City Bacharach Giants, 9 to 8. The club is scheduled to appear here again on July 27 when it will oppose the Harrisburg Giants who are managed this season by Oscar Charleston, the GREATEST colored ball player in the world. The greater portion of the future Potomac games are booked to be played at Wilmington - Delaware, the future home of the locals on week days. The locals meet the Lincoln Giants in New York on June 22. On June 27, the club will journey to Harrisburg for two days. On June 29 a three-game series with the Bacharachs opens in Atlantic City. On July 4th local fans by journeying to Hamilton's work justified the confidence Manager Taylor has put in him. True, the Texan has lost a number of games almost single-handedly but he appears to be getting over this erraticness while that punch he packs will win many a game before the curtain falls. Dr. Dowling, local eye specialist, has pronounced Joe Goodrich's eyesight O. K. Dr. Carmicheal, the club's physician, is now treating him for nervous and blood trouble. Goodrich was hit by an automobile during the winter and a slight stroke resulted which affected one side of his face. Joe has not been himself this season, but the fans are pulling for him. Baltimore will have a chance to see the club in action against the Black Sox. For a two-week period in July exhibition games will be in order. The 1350 that saw Sunday's en- SPORTS CHATTER By H. Scott, Tribune Sports Editor Fcur Make Olympic Four track stars of Negro blood and one whose identity with the Race is questionable, are enroute to France to represent the United States at the Olympic games. Dehart Hubbard and Ned Gourdin broad-jumped their way into the selected group while Earl Johnson won the cross-country run to assure himself a place on the team. Charles Brookins, who is alleged to be a Negro, much to his displeasure, had little trouble in landing a place among the hurdlers. According to press reports, Charles West was a last minute addition to the Olympic Team that sailed from New York Tuesday. League Race Close Slowly but most assuredly the Hilldale club of Philadelphia is taking its place at the top of the Eastern League standing. The Lincoln Giants have set a merry pace for over six weeks but is gradually giving away to the champs. In the opinion of many experts the Lincolns have been playing over their heads while the Hilldale club was late in striking its stride. The Lincolns got good pitching early in the campaign especially from Taylor, the unknown from the west. The failure of Currie to round into form has hurt Hilldale's chance "Red" Ryan and "Nimp" Winters has practically carried the club. counter between the Potomacs and Bacharachs were treated with all varieties of brilliant baseball with the possible exception of a home run. Cummings of the visitors furnished most thrills by beating out two bunts, stealing three bases including bunts and being on the scoring end of a perfect squeeze play with Lundy. The latter and Lloyd worked a double steal. The hitting and fielding of Hamilton easily made him the game's hero. Hampton elegantly assumed the rescue role and contributed a timely hit. Although "Red" Greer was yanked the fans were well pleased with his home debate and gave him a big hand. The former A. & T. College southpaw has plenty of stuff. He is but twenty years old and players and fans predict a great future for him. Manager Taylor has been wielding the old bludgeon for a healthy mark for the past two weeks. He is now where he belongs over the .300 mark. Fred Williams, handled himself capably behind the bat Sunday. He doesn't look bad at bat either.

Schedule June 22 At this time no other club in the league looms to give Hilldale a fight for the pennant but the Lincolns. Britt has kept the Black Sox in the running almost single handedly. A sore arm has caused him trouble lately and every precaution is being taken not to render him useless as last season. If Britt can continue his good work and get some help from other members of the staff the Sox may give trouble. There is no smarter combination in the league than the Bacharach Giants. But weak pitching is also their hold back. The Cuban Stars have been a disappointment but we look for them to get to gether and give plenty of trouble before it is all over. The Brooklyn Royal Giants, a veteran combination, has shown good form lately but we fail to see them pushing the leaders. The Harirsburg Giants, lead by the peer of all ball players, Oscar Charleston, flashes surprising form at intervals. In addition to Charleston, the Giants can boast of other good players but on paper the club does not shape up as a potential flag contender. We have about given up hope for the Potomacs and their chances at winning the pennant, but we still believe the club will finish in a first division berth. We have a lot of faith in Ben Taylor's leadership and his opinion of ball players. If the club lands a place among the first four Taylor will have deserved a world of credit.

VAUDEVILLE Cor. of L STREET U STREET NEAR 14th THEATRICAL NEWS ABRAHAM LINCOLN Step by step—natural as anything possibly could be—the tragic events in the sorrow ridden story of Abraham Lincoln, was thrillingly portrayed last week, on the screen, at the Lincoln theatre, when a stupendous photo play, bearing the name of the great emancipator was presented for first time to the Washington public in a most graphic and illuminating style. For nearly two hours—early American pioneer adventure; bitter political struggles, slavery—a thorn in the nation's conscience, horrors of a civil war and the suddenly shocking tragedy that followed, were acted again in the present, relating with gripping vividness, those stirring hours, that swept the country, some 60 years ago. Those who saw the production were simply charmed for never before had they seen love and pathos so evenly interwoven around a career so intensely rugged yet at all times, the embodiment of perfect manhood. Superior in every detail, the photoplay "Abraham Lincoln" ranks as a master stroke in the movie art and those who failed to avail themselves of the splendid opportunity offered last week to witness this high class entertainment at popular prices, missed one of those rare chances, that come once in a while. Wholesome in effect and arousing the tenderness of the human soul to depths of keenest emotion. Abraham Lincoln does all this and more—it teaches. "BROADWAY AFTER DARK" AT THE REPUBLIC Adolphe Menjou, Anna Q. Nilsson and Carmel Myers head the cast in "Broadway After Dark," the screen feature at the Republic Theatre beginning Sunday, June 22 and continuing for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, June 23, 24, 25 and 26. "Broadway After Dark" is a midnight drama of New York, replete with all the glamorous escapades which stir the imagination. The wickedness, the sham the fascinations and disillusionments of the iron-souled town are incorporated in this screen version of Owen Davis' melodrama. A special prologue to this picture entitled Harlem After Dark will be staged. It will show the interior of a Harlem cabaret just before opening time. A "missing daughter" drifts into the cabaret and in a song she sings introduces characters that are well known on Broadway, such as a cocaine fiend a salvation army lassie, etc. A rehearsal of the cabaret talent is ther given. This act is given by Eleanor Wilson, John Gertrude, and Co. On Friday and Saturday, June 27 and 28, Wesley Barry will be shown in "The Printer's Devil." It is a rich romance, woven around a country newspaper. Vaudeville and short film subjects will also be shown. "VIRTUOUS LIARS" AT BROADWAY Edith Allen, who plays the principal emotional role in "Virtuous Liars," the Whitman Bennett production which will open a three-day engagement at the Broadway Theatre, beginning Sunday, is one of the most promising young leading women of the screen. She was selected by Rex Ingram to play Clemene Binet in "Scaramouche" in spite of the fact that she had very little experience in pictures. Her performance in this feature intrigued Mr. Bennett and he determined that when a production would offer the opportunity that he would give her a chance, believing that the fans would select her as a natural star. The opportunity came when he decided to make E. C. Holland's adaptation of a famous Russian drama, "Virtuous Liars." The nephew is plyaed by David Powell, Ralph Kellar plays the husband, Maurice Costello is the art Intosh and Dagmar Godowsky have important roles. Albertina Rasch formerly prima ballerina of the Chicago Opera, appears as an interpretative dancer. HILLDALE IN BALTIMORE JUNE 22 Washington fans who are anxious to see the "mighty" Hilldale nine of Philadelphia in action may do so by journeying to Baltimore tomorrow (Sunday) where the league champions and Black Sox clash in a twin bill beginning at 2 p.m. WILLS IS NOT PISTURBED Romeo L.

EARL BROWN LOSES CLOSE ONE TO YALE His own wildness coupled with the poor support of his teammates cost Earl Brown, the former Howard athlete, now Harvards' pitching ace, a victory over Yale, before 20,000, Tuesday at New Haven. Brown walked four men and hit three, all runs made figured from his wildness. But five well scattered hits were gotten off his delivery. Poor work by Brown's battery mate who allowed five stolen bases also hurt Brown's chance of victory. The Alexandria (Va.) product banged out a hit and scored his club's first run. He fanned five men.

HARMONY LACKING IN TEDDY BEAR RANKS According to reports, dissention is within the ranks of the Teddy Bear baseball club.

However, last Sunday with half of the regulars away the Oriental Tigers jumped on them for a pair of games. It is reported that a change in the management of the club caused the present trouble. Burney Brown was elected manager to start the season but during the latter part of May he was supplanted by Tom Payne. The reason for the change is not known. The writer has always considered the Teddy Bears one of the most colorful nines in the city. There is probably no smarter group of players in the city. We know both Brown and Payne know the game, although we can not vouch for either's managerial ability. But certainly an understanding can be reached between the club members in regard to their manager. If one man is elected why shouldn't the entire group rally behind him and carry their club to victory. Come on, Bears, get together.

The question is: "What shall I do?" The proper answer to that question for each graduate spells success. The failure to properly answer that question means wasted time, money and energy and a mediocre life. There are some interesting data in the year book of the Dunbar High School just off the press. The young men and women of the senior class are classified as to what course they intend to pursue after leaving high school. Of the 161 girls of the class, 134, or 83.2 per cent aspire to be teachers; 12.2 per cent want to take professional courses, like medicine, nurse training, law and elocution; and only 9, or 0.5 per cent, aspire to get into the business world as typists, bookkeepers, modistes, etc. With the 60 boys of the class; 43 or 71.6 per cent will take professional courses such as, 19 for medicine, 10 for dentistry, 9 pharmacy, 5 for the law and one for the ministry. Only four of the boys have a desire to enter business, and none express a wish to pursue any of the higher mechanical vocations, such as machinists, architects, engineers, etc. Economics is often termed the "science of business." With that idea before us, it is a sad commentary on our outlook economically, as a race, when less than one per cent of high school graduates aspire to enter business or mechanical pursuits. It is evident that the future of America and of the race is in our coming generations. These young men and women who are coming out of our high schools this year will be the men and women in charge of affairs tomorrow. Our future depends on the vision and inspiration that actuates their lives. If they have clear visions, clean hearts and strong wills to carry out their purposes they will mold a successful future for the race. The professional men and women of Washington are the controlling factors of the social life of this city; and "society" is the biggest thing in Washington. As a result few of our boys and girls are inspired by object lessons to pursue the more prosaic courses of mechanics and business. A race cannot be built on professional men and women. They are in the minority in all well defined and progressive nations or countries. The economic phase of our life, creates a need of trained mechanics and business men, even greater than the professional demands of the race. Outside of the ministry, we are pretty well established with trained men in the professions. But on the economic side we are sadly wanting in equipped and trained men and women. Society, politics, professions and arts are supported and therefore dependent upon our economic life. Our failure to make headway economically is our greatest barrier to progress.

Phone, Main 1387 PAGE SIX THE WASHINGTON TRIBONE SATURDAY, JUNE 21, 1924 MUSIC FORUM By Wellington A. Adams they are about to complete their work in public speaking as well as to be entertained by the program rendered by the other performers. MARIE SNOWDEN SINGS NEGRO COMPOSITION Mrs. Marie Snowden, soprano in the Mount Carmel Baptist Church Choir, Rev. Dr. W. H. Jernagin, pastor, is attaining local fame in the excellent interpretation of the sacred song entitled "In the City of Jasper Walls," a musical composition of nine pages composed some few years age by a local musician. According to the composer's opinion none have sung the song better than Mrs. Snowden, who places rare phrasing and emphasis in its rendition, thrilling all who may chance to hear her. Her voice possesses much melody and natural sweetness and there is a graceful charm in presentation that few choir singers manifest. Mrs. Snowden first sang this number a few Sundays ago at Mt. Carmel Baptist Church and so successfully did she sing that she was invited to repeat it at the Third Baptist Church, Rev. Dr. G. O. Bullock, pastor, which she did last Sunday morning and thrilled the audience. The composer was so gratified with her interpretation that he has arranged to have Mrs. Snowden introduce another one of his sacred songs next Fall entitled "The Judgment Day" which is now in manuscript and has never been publicly sung. It is a very descriptive song of the last days of the world set to pleasing music with a refrain of sweeping climax. The former song "In the City of Jasper Walls" has had a phenomenal sale, exhausting two editions and another is in process of publication to be ready in the Fall of this year. Mrs. Snowden deserves the compliments bestowed upon her for her able renditions. charged that the Government, "which deflated the farmer" while it "protected with exorbitant tariffs the industrial magnates," gave "almost unlimited prosperity for the great corporations and ruin and bankruptcy for agriculture." He also favored "drastic reduction of the exorbitant duties of the Fordney-McCumber act." Tariff "works for increased consumption of domestic agricultural products by an employed population," claims the Republican platform, and argues that "our farmers will need always to compete with cheap lands and cheap labor abroad and with lower standards of living." On the other hand, except for certain quality prices, La Follette argues that the wheat farmer is subject to that competition now. This is true. President Coolidge, on March 7, raised the wheat tariff 12 cents a bushel, and by March 25, the May wheat had dropped $9^{1/2}$ cents. A few such facts would make going hard for the Grand Old Party. Representative Henry A. Cooper quoting an excerpt from a commencement address—"The Scholar in Politics"—delivered by Whitlaw Reid in 1873, said: The scholar's duty is to be critical and independent, to stand for what he thinks true, and to resist intellectual coercion not only in the field of politics but in the field of learning as well. While we subscribe to the quotation, we believe Mr. Cooper's party's insincerity made the quotation lose its effectiveness. Mr. Reid acted according to these views. In 1872, the Republican party became intolerant and reactionary and fell into the control of baser elements. Finding his party association repugnant, Mr. Reid left it to support Horace Greeley for President to the Liberal Republican-Democratic ticket. Thus his address of 1873, was in harmony with his conduct as well as his sentiments. The same can not be said of Mr. Cooper and his colleagues. With La Follette's leadership, they are running with the hounds and holding with the hare—holding fast to the labels of Republicanism because these labels have current market value. They are symbols of false pretense—posing as Republicans at home where they control election machincry—and have nothing in common with Republicanism at is it understood. They have not the courage to abandon the political fraud which they are practicing, yet they ask a certain moral respect for their insurgency. There is no sincerity in their resentment of what they call the intolerance of the rest of the party, for they have borne it for more than twenty years ROLAND HAYES TRIUMPHS IN BERLIN GERMANY The foreign correspondent of the "Musical Courier" writing from Berlin, Germany, May 14, sends this good news about our own Roland W. Hayes. "Roland Hayes, a sensational success. An especial surprise to Berlin concert goers was the concert of the Negro tenor, Roland Hayes. He had been advertised by his manager in an extremely glowing language, which excited suspicion rather than the expectation of something extraordinary, his singing, however, surpassed all the expectations that the listeners might have cherished. In one word: his success was phenomenal and fully deserved. The beauty of his tenor voice and his vocal culture are extraordinary, and, moreover, he is an eminent interpreter of lyric art, fully in touch with the emotional content of the masterpieces he sings. German, Italian and French texts he sings with the same facility as English, and this achievement speaks for his intellectual culture. He was well assisted at the piano by his accompanist, William Lawrence, a colored musician of no mean abilities." ANNUAL CLOSING EXERCISES The twenty-second annual closing exercises of the Washington Conservatory of Music and School of Expression will take place on next Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at 8:00 p.m. at the Conservatory, 902 T Street, Northwest. The Piano, Voice and Violin Departments will have very interesting programs on the first two nights, but the graduation exercises of the School of Expression will occur on Friday evening -at which time three pupils will receive diplomas. Friends generally are cordially invited to be present and encourage these graduates as The Ku Klux Klan Plank The La Follette Platform Mr. Cooper's False Pretenses The Resolutions Committee of the Republican Convention handled the issue of the Ku Klux Klan as a child would a hot, freshly baked sweet potato. Great care was taken not to mention the Klan by name. As the plank runs, "the substitution of private will for public law is only another name for Klux Klan as a child would a hot, freshly baked sweet potato. Great care was taken not to mention the Klan by name. As the plank runs, "the substitution of private will for public law is only another name for (I. L. Parker) oppression, disorder, anarchy, and mob rule." Quite true. Virtue is admirable and every effort should be made to discourage vice. But why the generalities in the lieu of specific policies? A specific policy in this intsance would be far more satisfying to Colored Americans. However, it seems that the generalities are safer in view of the fact that the Klan dominated the Republican organization so recently in Indiana. We may expect the Democratic Convention to heed somewhat, when it convenes next week, the Negro's reaction to the Republicans' vague Klan plank and assert itself more specifically against the Klan. The Democrats realize that the Klan are not particularly allied with any party, but take a hand in politics, generally, where the best results are attainable for itself. Therefore, it will attempt to defeat any party seeking to kill it. Yet, as in the circumstances leading up to the Negro's freedom in 1865, the Democratic Party must attain the coveted power, therefore the Negro will get, at least, a promise. By an anti-Klan plank, Democrats argue, it is possible to gain a half million or more Negro vtoes due to the recent emigration from the South into New York, New Jersey, Indiana, Ohio, and Missouri. The Negro's vote in Indiana, Ohio, and Missouri means either defeat or victory, according to its use. Senator La Follette's platform is more masterful than that of the Republican Convention in depicting the distress of the farmer, especially in the wheat States, though his suggested remedies are shrewdly moderate. There is much parallelism in the two platforms—promising better agricultural credits, reduced railroad freights and encouragement of cooperative activities—for the benefit of the farmer. In case of the tariff, the two are at the greatest difference; even so, La Follette has the better of the argument. La Follette's planks were not accepted by the Convention. For he "No citizen can do a higher duty than to resist the majority when he believes it wrong; to assert the right of individual judgment and maintain it; to cherish liberty of thought and speech and action against the tyranny of his own or any party."

AN ARABIAN NIGHTS STORY Dear Bditor: In “Arabian Nights” there is a story of three princes all of whom were in love with the same princess. 2 The father of the princess promised his daughter to the prince who found the greatest wonder in the world, Each of the princes began a search. One discovered a magic apple which cured one of any disease. Another discovered a magic carpet which instantly transported one to any part of the world. The third discovered a wonderful tube which enabled one to see any person at any time and to know about everything. ‘The princes were comparing their discoveries. They looked through the tube. They saw the princess ill in bed and about to die. Standing on the carpet they were whirled to her bedside, The magic apple was pressed to her lips and she was restored to health, The king, her father, was then asked to make his decision. He said he could not decide, be- cause all three discoveries were equal- ly wonderful, and without the aid of any one of the three his. daughter would have died, LUCY MOORE (13) Dear Editor: My mother subscribes for your paper and I like the “Child- ven's Page.” I read it every week and I would like to become a member of the Pen-name Club.

ROLAND HAYES’ VOICE RECORDED Just as I was wondering-whether any phonograph record company makes, records of worthwhile singers of our race my father gave me a ree- ord bulletin which advertised records of Negro spirituals sung by Roland Hayes. The bulletin carries a picture of Mr. Hayes under which is this state- ee oe | an | a | i Sa " , ae | wo 23 ASS a ~~ Ba ROLAND HAYES ment. “Roland Hayes, tenor, who has established himself as a concert ‘artist of unusual talent.” | Further it says: “The career of this gifted Negro tenor, the only one on the concert stage, has been marked by a series of brilliant successes. A native of Georgia, he was a student for four years at Fisk University before con- tinuing his musical education with prominent teachers in Boston, As soloist with the Boston Symphony Or- chestra, he won the critics’ highest praise, “While in Europe, where he was heard in recital by royalty, and in many musie-centers, he — recorded these four favorite Negro. spirituals Pee | cE" ri ia it ie ‘ PIN AWARDED ROLAND HAYES by the King and Queen of England at the Aeolian Company's English laboratories—reeordings. that show the beauty of Roland Hayes’ voice and the appeal of his interpretations in the songs of his race.” But with all of Mr. Hayes’ ability he-is listed as singing four Negro spirituals, three by Burleigh and one by Lawrence Brown. While I admire our spirituals 1 would like to hear some of our artists singing other classies on records. All that we hear are blues, Jazzes, spirit- uals, and comics I may add that these selections by Hayes were recorded in England, SUSANNA S. SWANN (16) “CALL TO SEE US” Strictly Southern Cooking W. O.

Robertson, director of “The Enchanted Cottage,” starring Richard Barthelmess, at the Lincoln ‘Theatre this week, is convinced that love, like everything else, changes. Lovers of three different periods ap: pear in “The Enchanted Cottage’— first, a nobleman and fair lady of the Court of James II; then a bashful swain and demure maid of 1830; anc finally, a war veteran and an English governess of 1923, played by Mr. Barthelmess and May MeAvoy. “The woman was the aggressor in the 17th century, the period of Nell Gwynne, the first of all vampires,” says Mr. Robertson. “The man played his cards first in the 19th century ‘and today, man and woman meet each other on equal terms and love natur- ally.” All of which proves that Mr. Rob- ertson knows his psychology of love as well as how to direct motion pic- tures.

King, rector of Meade Episcopal Church, Alexandria, Va., for nearly six years, has resigned, and has received calls from West Point, Va., Charleston, West Va., and Washington, D.C. He was selected out of a list of numerous applicants to take charge of the Church of the Atonement, Washington, D.C., by the Rt. Rev. James E. Freeman, and accepted the call. The Rev. Mr. King, a native of Barbados, British West Indies, came to America in 1897 for the purpose of preparing himself to enter the Episcopal Ministry. Not having sufficient money to enter college, he started a printing business in the Tenderloin district of New York city, and conducted it from 1898 to 1909. Having accomplished his purpose, he retired from business, entered Saint Augustine's Episcopal Collegiate Institute, at Raleigh, N. C., took charge of the printing department while studying and while here he started a parochial school and mission at Henderson, N.C. and graduated in 1914. He then entered Bishop Payne Episcopal Seminary, Petersburg, Va., and graduated in 1917.

Fredericksburg Agency, 523 Princess Anne Street During the annual meeting of the Old Dominion State Dental Association which convened in this city, April 25-26, it was alleged that some member of the society made statements attacking its moral standard. It was further alleged that these statements were made to one of our local ministers and he repeated the remarks in his sermon a few Sundays thereafter. In conference with this said minister, he claims he was misquoted and that no statement was made by him which reflected upon the moral standard of the society, neither was it told to him by any member of the society, but by some local news carrier. Since the instigator's name is withheld, we consider it gossip which we scatter to the winds that it may return from whence it came. Miss D. T.
