Negro Should Seek Economic Relief in Coming Campaign THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY FIRST ST., S. E. First in Local Circulation. J. FINLEY WILSON AND WIFE HAVE NARROW ESCAPE J. FINLEY WILSON AND WIFE HAVE NARROW ESCAPE Florida Klansmen Board Trainin an Attempt to Lynch Him Mr. and Mrs. J. Finley Wilson, newly weds returned from their honey-moon in Cuba by way of Florida, had a narrow escape from lynching this week. They boarded a Florida East Coast train at Miami for Savannah, Ga. The Pullman conductor sold him a drawing room at West Palm Beach. Mr. Wilson got off the train and went to the last car in which his drawing room was located. His wife stayed with the baggage in the day coach waiting for a porter to come for it. A few minutes later she joined her husband in the drawing room and told him that the train conductor said it was not necessary for her to wait. He then sent a Pullman porter for his luggage. The train conductor refused to let the porter take it to him. The porter told Mr. Wilson not to bother about the baggage, as this conductor would be drapped at Ft. Myers and there would be no further interference. Meanwhile the Pullman conductor called for the drawing room ticket. He advised Mr. Wilson that the train conductor was fomenting trouble, but if he was game they would see it thru. Mr. Wilson replied that he was "a fast brown and can't run." Mr. and Mrs. Wilson retired for the night. About 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning they were suddenly awakened at Ft. Pierce, Fla., by a mob yelling "Lynch the nigger." They boarded the car, cursing violently, and demanded to know where they were. There were approximately twenty men in full regalia and as many more with their faces uncovered. They told the Pullman conductor that Milton, the train conductor, had wired them that there was "a nigger puttin' on airs" and occupying a drawing room. The leader finally got pass the Pullman conductor and reached the drawing room door. He demanded that the door be opened. Mr. Wilson took his two guns, one an automatic and the other a blue steel Colt, and placed himself in the toilet where he would have every advantage in a mass attack. His wife ran out into the ladies' dressing room. The leader of the mob started to follow her, then turned and came into the drawing room. Mr. Wilson stuck the Colt in his nose, and he turned, out and told the mob that "he ain't here." Before the train pulled out, Mrs. Wilson returned with the Pullman conductor to the drawing room. After Mr. Wilson had inadvertently pointed a pistol at him, he borrowed the automatic and went outside and began cursing the klansmen in return and branding them as cowards. Mr. J. Finley Wilson is Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks, and was returning from Cuba where he set up an Elk lodge. He was married to Miss Leah Belle Farrar, prominent teacher and society leader of Richmond, Va., July 24. They immediately left on their honeymoon which carried them to Cuba. COAGE AND WRIGHT ATTEND NOTIFICATION COAGE AND WRIGHT ATTEND NOTIFICATION Honorable Jefferson S. Coage of Delaware, Commissioner to the Virgin Islands, and Prof. J. C. Wright of Dunbar High School, were among the prominent representatives of the race in attendance upon the notification ceremonies for President Coolidge held Vol. 4, No. 13 The The Washington Tribune Published Weekly OLID should Se RACE MUST RE IN POLITICS RESULTS ARE T RACE MUST RE-ALIGN ITSELF IN POLITICS IF PRACTICAL RESULTS ARE TO BE OBTAINED LA FOLLETTE HITS KLAN AND RACE DISCRIMINATION While making it perfectly clear that he regards the breaking of "the combined power of the private monopoly system over the political and economic life of the American people" as the one dominant, all embracing issue in this campaign, Senator Robert M. LaFollette, independent candidate for President of the United States, stated unequivocally his position on the Ku Klux Klan. Unalterably Opposed to Klan The statement of his position was contained in a letter to Robert P. Scripps of New York City. That part of it with reference to the Klan is as follows: "I am unalterably opposed to the evident purposes of the secret organization known as the Ku Klux Klan, as disclosed by its public acts. "It cannot long survive. "Relying upon the sound judgment and good sense of our people, it is my opinion that such a movement is foredoomed. It has within its own bodies the seeds of its death. Quotes from Lincoln "Abraham Lincoln, nearly seventy years ago set forth his views on this question in a letter to his friend, Mr. Joshua F. Speed, dated Springfield, Illinois, August 24, 1855: "You inquire where I now stand. That is a disputed point. I think I am a Whig; but others say there are no Whigs, and that I am an Abolitionist." "I am not a Know-Nothing that is certain. How could I be? How can any one who abhors the oppression of Negroes be in favor of degrading classes of white people? Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation we began by declaring that 'all men are created equal.' We now practically read it 'all men are created equal except Negroes.' When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read 'all men are created equal except Negroes and foreigners and Catholics.' When it comes to this, I shall prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretense of loving liberty,—to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocrytery. "Your friend forever, 'A. LINCOLN.'" "With this statement from Abraham Lincoln I would join also a passage from a letter written by Thomas Jefferson to Edward Dowse in 1803: "I never will, by word or act, how to the shrine of intolerance, or admit a right of inquiry into the religious opinions of others." "Upon these statements of Jefferson and Lincoln, expressing the sentiments which I am happy to believe the vast majority of our citizens cherish and to which they will ever rigidly adhere, and upon my own views expressed in this letter, I am content to stand without qualifications or aversion." n Memorial Continental hall Thursday night. These enthusiastic Race men strongy praise the President's address, and feel assured that his election will open wide the door of hope for all the American people. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1924 The Negro in America has reached a turning point in his political life. For sixty years the Negro vote has been as safe to the Republican party as the Solid South is to the Democarts. With only two parties, there has been no alternative for the Negro vote. So, through the years, this vote has been carried in the vest pocket of the Republican bosses. Now, after three generations, the Negro finds a new Republican party, and, likewise, the Republican bosses find a new Negro. New faces and new policies naturally brings new alignments. So, the Negro finds himself now at the dawn of a new political day. Time, the great healer, is possibly the cause of the Negro's finding himself in a new predicament. In 1865, the Negro as a freeman lived under the influence of Abraham Lincoln, his liberator, and of the abolitionists who sympathized with the race's struggle. During Reconstruction, the Negro supported the Republican party (which was still the party of Lincoln) because he was an integral part of it. He was elected to office on the party's ticket; he received the full protection of the law because it was the party's tradition to enforce the laws; he was recognized as a citizen in every state. In the South he attended the state schools, served on their trustee boards, and held other (Continued on page 3) ATTY. J. H. WILSON IN MANY BIG CASES Attorney John H. Wilson has been receiving the congratulations of his friends during the past week for the laudable way in which he conducted his client's case in the recent Purcell murder trial. Attorney Wilson was the only colored lawyer employed. Aligned JOHN H. WILSON with him were several noted white lawyers. So brilliantly did Mr. Wilson conduct his case that he was easily the outstanding lawyer in the trial. John H. Wilson, is a graduate of Law at Howard in the class of 1907. He spent several years in Indiana and California, returning to the practice in this city about five or six years ago. During his residence here he has possibly won more murder trials than any other race lawyer. Attorney Wilson has obtained the following homicide verdicts in the past two years: United States vs. Bruce Underdue; United States vs. Murray Bias; ROBERT L. VAN MAY GET BIG PLUM It is reported here that Robert L. Vann, editor of The Pittsburgh Courier, will have charge of Colored newspaper, publicity for the Republican National Committee in the present campaign. His headquarters will be in Chicago. He will exercise general supervision over the newspaper publicity in both the East and West. Mr. Vann has had previous experience in this work. In the 1920 campaign he had charge of newspaper publicity in the East with headquarters in New York City. The late Phil H. Brown had charge in the West with headquarters in Chicago. Thru Mr. Brown, the Republican National Committee spent the paltry sum of $4,000 approximately for paid advertisements published in western newspapers. Eastern newspapers under Mr. Vann were unable to obtain any remuneration for their campaign services. Consequently there was a howl from them after the election. The announcement of his appointment will be made shortly after notification. DISMISSAL OF LOGAN CHARGED TO R. R. MOTON DISMISSAL OF LOGAN CHARGED TO R. R. MOTON Last week, in these columns, it was shown how Robert Russa Moton, Principal of Tuskegee Normal Industrial Institute, had practically kicked Dr. Jorn A. Kenney, for twenty-two years, medical director of the school, out because he dared be a man. This week, we will tell of how this same self-styled Race leader, Moton kicked out Warren Logan who for over forty-two years was Treasurer of the institution. According to the history of the school, Mr. Logan, who was a classmate of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, its founder, went to Tuskegee about a year after Dr. Washington started the school. He was made financial officer and served continuously until July of this year when he, too, like Dr. Kenney, was kicked out. When R. R. Moton came to Tuskegee, in 1916, he was little known outside of Hampton, Va., where he lived. Having had no experience for the position into which he was elected, he naturally relied principally upon the advice of those at Tuskegee who had been there and borne the burden in the heat of the day. Such people as John Washington, Emmett J. Scott, Warren Logan, J. H. Palmer and others helped him up and guided his course until he was able to walk alone. After completely familiarizing himself with the work and building up his own petty organization, he feels he no longer needs the advice and council of those who helped him when he could not help himself. So he institutes a program of gradually relieving those to whom he had to go for (Continued on page 3) United States vs. Frank Newton; United States vs. George Hall. In addition to success in criminal work, Mr. Wilson has a large civil practice and at the last term of Court before Justice Hoehling, opposed by former District Attorney John E. Lackey, before an all-white jury, Mr. Wilson obtained a verdict for $4,800, the largest verdict ever awarded a Negro in the District of Columbia. Mr. Wilson is president of Birney School Parent-Teachers' Association, and former president of the Anacostia Citizens' Association. Notwithstanding his years of successful practice he is still an ardent student of the law. PITTSBURGH HEALTH OFFICER MODIFIES ORDER: ELKS WILL HOLD CONVENTION THERE Pursuant to adjournment of the Chicago meeting, the 1924 Grand Lodge session of the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World will be held in Pittsburgh. This was the positive statement of J. Finley Wilson, Grand Exalted Ruler, upon his arrival here last Monday morning from Cuba where he and Mrs. Wilson spent their honeymoon. He has been advised that the epidemic of smallpox in Pittsburgh has abated. The director of public health has rescinded his order requiring attending Elks and visitors to bring with them certificates of vaccination. Everything is in readiness for the meeting. Re-election Certain The Grand Exalted Ruler regards his re-election as certain. Opposition to him has failed to develop. There is but one candidate opposing him. He is Past Grand Exalted Ruler George E. Wibecan, whom he defeated for re-election in Newark two years ago. Mr. Wibecan is endorsed by Brooklyn Lodge, No. 32. Practically all the other lodges have endorsed the Grand Exalted Ruler for another term. HAILS OR. NORMAN AS A GREAT LEADER (Rev. J. P. Nichols) The history of all races, both ancient and modern, is made noble, great and impressive, by the lives of their sons. Nations have erected monuments and statues to their memory; their tombs have been made sacred; their achievements recorded in literature, science and art; institutools of learning and charity, also, religious edifices have been dedicated to their honor; thus inspiring and encouraging succeeding generations; even days have been set aside for special veneration; countries, seas, rivers and cities named to perpetuate their fame. REV. M. W. D. NORMAN Were I to mention here the names of our most worthy, deserving creditable, efficient, accomplished, venerable and contributing characters, who mark the progress and attainments of our race, the soil of many of these United States of America could resound most favorably. Seeing we are unselfish in plaudit to our heroes, we shall speak briefly and specially of the Rev. M. W. D. Norman, D.D. LL.D., a native of North Carolina. He is a man of National reputation, and his work is known abroad. As a teacher he founded and was the first president of (Continued on page 3) Office: 920 U St., N.W. CH Fail pres Soming Ga HEALTH OFFICER ER: ELKS WILL NTION THERE M. M. HARRIS ANSWERS GORDON DINGLE'S SUIT The suit of J. Gordon Dingle, of New York City, against Mortimer M. Harris, a local real estate dealer, is a fake and a camouflage and was filed for the purpose of circumventing legal proceedings against him for conspiracy to defraud, says Mr. Harris in his answer filed in the equity division of the District Supreme Court by Joseph T. Settles, his attorney. These legal difficulties arose out of the sale of ten houses by Mr. Harris for Mr. Dingle. The latter claims that under the terms of a contract entered into by them, Mr. Harris was to sell the property numbered 1830 to 1858 Eighth Street, Northwest. He was to receive for each house the difference between the sale price and a first trust of $4,000 in cash. Mr. Harris sold ten of these houses at a price not less than $7,500 each. The difference between the sale price and the first trust, less the cash payment, was obtained in notes secured by second trusts. These notes were endorsed by Mr. Dingle and turned over to Mr. Harris to be disposed of. Mr. Dingle says he received only the sum of approximately $5,000. Mr. Harris says he was paid between $7,000 and $10,000. Mr. Dingle brought suit. He asked the court to require Mr. Harris to disclose in detail his transactions with each of the purchasers in connection with the sale of each of the houses sold, render an accounting and pay over to him such sums as may be found to be due. In answer to the bill of complaint Mr. Harris says that every penny produced from the sale of these houses due the plaintiff has been paid him and that the plaintiff passed upon and approved the sale and accounting before receiving the monies due. He denies that the plaintiff is due to receive any amount whatsoever. After the plaintiff approved each sale, he rendered him an accounting of money due and the plaintiff congratulated him upon the fine way in which he handled the transactions, says Mr. Harris, and evidenced his satisfaction by purporting to pay him his commission and pretending to advance him commission on the sale of the remaining five houses to be sold by giving him two checks. These checks, Mr. Harris alleges, were never cashed because the plaintiff did not have the money in the bank to pay them or stopped payment by telegram to the bank on which they were drawn. Upon the final adjustment, a check was made payable to the order of the defendant by the firm of Arms and Drury for $2,900, the answer states. This money was obtained upon the collateral sale of a blanket third trust note of $9,450. Out of this sum the plaintiff was to pay the defendant the balance of his commission, amountnig to $1,149.44. At the instance of the plaintiff, the answer sets out, the defendant endorsed and delivered the check for $2,900 to the plaintiff and in turn the plaintiff had his wife to draw and deliver her check on the Mechanic's Bank, Fulton Branch, New York, in favor of the defendant for $1,149.44.

The speech itself was tame and harmless, it was such a speech as you would expect to hear any high school orator deliver in competition for the village prize. Economic and racial matters of particular interest to Negroes were either left out altogether or were so vague and indefinite that even Mr. Coolidge himself would have a hard time explaining what he meant. Taxation "I believe in a reduction and reform of taxation," Mr. Coolidge says, but he does not tell the poor taxpayer just how he would work to lighten his taxes. No one doubts that every man in Congress believes in tax reduction, but the question is, whose taxes does the President believe should be reduced? The relief that was afforded the poor by the last Congress was certainly done in spite of the opposition of Mr. Coolidge and many other members of his party.

In the candidacy of Senator Robert M. LaFollette, the peerless champion of the people's rights, the colored voters are given the first opportunity for a square deal. On the question which vitally effects the well-being of the people of color, Senator LaFollette's stand cannot be questioned. He has stood the acid test. "When the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill came up for discussion in the House of Representatives, Nelson was one of the progressive leaders to support it. In the Senate, Senator LaFollette did not only support the measure, but has consistently voted for all protective legislation in the interest of human rights and aspirations. "in the recognition and representation of the colored voters in their government, Senator LaFollette has dared to mete out justice to them. At this request, Senator Shipstead recalled the committee in order to change his vote so that Walter Cohne, of New Orleans, might be confirmed for the position of Collector of Port. This is the only representative position obtained by a Negro in twelve years." "Roscoe Simmons, writing in the Chicago Defender of March 8, quoted Senator LaFollette as saying: 'I must wrong no man,' said 'Fighting Bob,' 'particularly no man fighting against the odds the colored citizens are compelled to fight against.' "On the Ku Klux Klan question Senator LaFollette has not remained silent as in the case of President Coolidge. Governor Blaine, running on an anti-Klan platform in Wisconsin, received the whole-hearted support of the Senator, and defeated his political friend of many years who dodged the issue. The colored voters are for Senator LaFollette as well as all other candidates who has openly challenged the right of the Ku Klux Klan to govern the country. Hampton, Va.—John B.

ATIONS TMENTS and well trained HARRIS ANSWERS SUIT FILED BY GORDON-DINGLE (Continued from page one.) Seemingly so satisfied was the plaintiff, says the defendant, that he had his wife draw another check similarly in the sum of $400 to be advanced on commission for the five other houses to be sold. The defendant further says that no sooner had he surrendered to the plaintiff the check drawn by Arms and Drury, which he had endorsed, than the plaintiff without his knowledge stopped payment of the checks by the New York bank. The defendant denies that he agreed with the plaintiff that he would receive cash for the difference between the selling price and the amount of the first trust. He says that the terms of the second trust notes were gone over with the plaintiff and with his consent and acquiescence were discounted and the returns from them were accounted for to the plaintiff in detail. The defendant denies that the second trust notes were to yield the difference between the purchase price and the first trust of $4,000 less any cash deposits or payments by the purchaser. The cash yielded to the plaintiff was to depend entirely upon such disposition as could be made of the second trust notes, says the answer. Instead of being required to pay the plaintiff any sum, the defendant alleges that he is justly due the sum of $1,549.44 as evidenced by the turned down checks and asks the court to find accordingly. NEGRO SEEKS NEW ALIGNMENT IN POLITICS (Continued from page one.) state and municipal offices. During this same period, the Republican party sent over twenty-four Negroes to Congress. It was these occurrences that prompted the great Frederick Douglass to say "the Republican party is the ship and all else is the sea." During this same period the Democratic party was dominated by the ex-slave holders and their heneemen. It fostered the notorious Ku Klux Klan, and did all in its power to extend segregation and disfranchisement. Therefore, it was impossible for any self-respecting Negro to vote the Democratic ticket. But time changes all things. This was two generations ago. Gradually through sinister propaganda and by taking advantage of the ignorance of the children of ex-slaves, the southern whites have succeeded so well that today they dominate the policy of the Republican party as well as the Democratic, in so far as relates to Negroes. Time has healed the wounds of the great Civil War; migration and intermarriage between the north and south has practically erased the Mason-Dixon line so far as the whites are concerned. From 1865 to 1920, the Negro voted only as a Negro. The only concern to him was, What has the party done for the Negro? The candidate was lost sight of in his great desire to support the party. The corrupt bosses of Republicanism were quick to answer the question by pointing to the party's record as emancipator and protector during Reconstruction. Thus the colored voter was kept in ignorant of the real issues. While the Negro was voting for what the party had done for him, those who controlled the party were forgetting what the Negro had done for the party. So, today, practically 35 years after Frederick Douglass's famous utterance, the Negro finds hinslef cast into the sea and the ship of Republicanism is sailing for a new port with a new skipper at the wheel. In 1920 the Negro was for Harding because he hoped that Harding would be another Lincoln and emancipate him from the evils under which he was suffering. In less than eighteen months after Harding's inauguration, the Negro awoke to the bitter fact that in his cry for bread, he had been given a stone. This disappointment produced a new school of thought. The race veterans of 1870-1880 were few and without much influence. The new and progressive Negro began to take council with himself. The mirage of political death which was supposed to result in supporting another party other than the Republican, was pierced, and lo and behold on the other side was found not political oblivion, but a new lease on political life—a new inspiration and a new alignment. The political stage shifted from the oligarchial South to the industrial North. Instead of voting because of the past, the new Negro began to vote with an eye to the future. In less than four years, the whole complexion of the race's political future has been changed. From a disfranchised voter in the South, the Negro has become an office seeker in the North. From a rock-ribbed Republican, he has been changed to a progressive-independent. Instead of voting for parties only be- cause of their past attitude toward him, he is now choosing between their economic programs. From a fixed certainty in his politics, he is now the big question mark. The Negro as a class is fundamentally poor. He suffers far more because of his poverty than because of his color. Hence, the Negro, if he ever hopes for relief, must line up with the rest of the laboring groups in America. Therefore, the Negro's hope lies not in being a Republican, not in being a Democrat, but in voting for an intelligent economic program—a program for the lifting of the immense burden now being carried by the working people of this country. A larger part of this burden of economic oppression is carried by the 15,000,000 Negroes in America than by any other single group. Simply crying, Wolf! Wolf! on the color question, will not bring any relief. Indeed this cry has been worn out. Today is the time for a new order. The color of your skin must no longer indicate to what party you belong. The voter who owns himself and belongs to no party is free to take his pick of the best that is offered. The time has arrived when the Negro must align himself with the working classes, because, fundamentally, we are primarily working people and incidentally colored people. Our salvation lies in whatever relief may be accorded to the working classes in this country. The party of Lincoln has been buried with a glorious past and in its stead we have the party of the bosses, the party of the priveleged, the party of wealth. Thre are 18 states where there is a large Negro vote that can be voted and be counted. With three major tickets in the field this year, this Negro vote wil be the absolute balance of power in some of these state. This vote must be the defensive weapon with which the race will strike its first blow for economic alleviation in America, and incidentally for racial freedom.

Smarting under the black eye given him last summer as a result of his action and inaction with reference to the personnel of the Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee, Moton is attempting to again reestablish himself with the faculty and students. Therefore, in order to do this he believes he must get rid of those who dared remain in Tuskegee. Hails Dr. Norman as a Great Leader (Continued from page 1) the Roanoke Collegiate Institute at Elizabeth City, N. C., now valued at $35,000. Was Dean of Theology at Shaw University, Raleigh, N. C. He gave up his school work, passing from public schools to the founder and principal of a college, and member of a Baptist Convention minister, except the Walker of Augusta more frequently to Dr. Norman. He p.sermon at New sermon on evangelii Ind., and at this same the annual sermon Auxiliary; and del sermon last year at All these efforts were mented upon. During one of the sessions of the mid-summer meetings of the Board of Tuskegée, this year, Dr. Moton asked Mr. Logan if he would excuse himself as the board desired to take up some matters that would interest him, and would prefer that he be absent during the discussion. Mr. Logan unmindful of what was brewing or had brewed, retired from the room, title suspecting that from that day his services would be ended. Later after the deliberations were over, Mr. Logan was asked to return to the room. Then he was informed that he had been retired. The old man staggered and his eyes quivered and then he broke down. The blow had been death and it came from quarters he least suspected—Moton—the man he had practically made. Mr. Logan retired to his home, according to one of his close friends, and cried a whole day as if his heart would break. In order to cover up his deed, Moton persuaded Mr. Julius Rosenthal, of Chicago, to donate $1500 toward a fund for Mr. Logan. He then raised $600 more, making the purse $2100. This was given Mr. Logan to somewhat offset the foul blow he had received. Those from Tuskegee, who know Moton's attitude, say they are not surprised at his actions. In addition to Dr. Kenney and Mr. Logan, they say. Moton during the past year, retired Mr. J. H. Palmer, who for a number of years was Registrar. About two years ago Moton retired Booker's brother, John Washington. It is believed that the real motive behind Moton's actions is to break up the machine left by Dr. Washington and in its place put a Moton machine. In his desire to do this, he lets neither service, experience nor ability interfere. Unconfirmed rumors has it that another person very dear to all Tuskegeans is slated to walk the plank of dismissal. Mr. and Mrs. Warren Logan left about two weeks ago for Europe, where Mr. Logan hopes to bury his sorrow amid new scences.

Baptist Convention and perhaps no minister, except the late Dr. C. T. Walker of Augusta, Ga., has preached more frequently to that body than Dr. Norman. He preached the annual sermon at New Orleans, La., the sermon on evangelism at Indianapolis, Ind., and at this same session preached the annual sermon to the Woman's Auxiliary; and delivered the annual sermon last year at Los Angeles, Cal. All these efforts were favorably commented upon. By the solicitation of friends, he accepted and was nominated for the presidency of this great convention two-years ago in St. Louis, Mo. There were four other nominees namely: Drs. Williams, of Chicago, Ill.; Bryant of Atlanta, Ga.; Moses, of New York City; and the late lamented Dr. Banks of Philadelphia, Pa. A combination of three were formed to defeat any one of the remaining two candidates. It was then that Dr. Norman, in a most eloquent speech, brought the convention to its feet in applause, threw his strength to Dr. L. K. Williams, against the Bryant, Moses and Parks combination. For about ten years Dr. Norman has been and is now, president of the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Washington and vicinity; one of, if not, the greatest weekly conference of ministers in the world. In him they have found a safe and competent leader. He is also the moderator of the mount Bethel Baptist Association, comprising churches of the District of Columbia and the states of Virginia and Maryland. This association has done and is destined to do much good, while guided by this great man. As evidence of the high esteem in which Dr. Norman is held by those with whom he has served, he is called every year to speak and preach for several of the schools, churches, associations and conventions, which he has been identified with during his public career.

E-2 PAGE THREE The Tribune Sport Review Ted Thompson Defeats Tally Holmes in Local Tennis Tournament PAGE FOUR Ted Thor Four Grueling Sets Necessary to Win HOLMES-THOMPSON WIN DOUBLES, WOOLRIDGE WINS JUNIOR SINGLES Ted Thompson, a youngster in years but veteran in tennis experience, was crowned the District singles tennis champion at the James E. Walker tennis courts, Saturday, after defeating Tally Holmes, former District and national champion in one of the most brilliant, as well as gruelling matches ever witnessed on any court. Thompson won in four sets. 5-7, 7-5, 6-1, 10-8. Every point of the first, second and fourth sets were bitterly fought for but in the third set Holmes became greggy and only rare pluck saved him from becoming a victim of the pelting sum. The fourth set found both players fresh after a rest period and it was during this set that the spectators saw the ex-champion bring all of his court strategy into play only to see it matched by the youngster's speed and power. Tired. But Win. Doubles After spending nearly three hours under the blazing sun battling to decide the singles championship, Holmes and Thompson teamed and took the court in the final doubles against Johnny Wilkinson and Eddie Davis, and won in straight sets over the latter pair, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4. Wilkinson and Davis could hardly extend the winners whose team play was marvelous. Davis although erratic at times, flashed time and again with spectacular returns. Woolridge Repeats Allen Woolbridge won the Junior singles championship in the same easy way that it was predicted that he would win. Ernest Henry was his opponent and while the playground youngster displayed wonderful steadiness the national champion had too much natural ability for him. Miss Slowe Still There In an exhibition match with Miss Nicholson of Baltimore, Miss Lucy D Slowe proved that she is far from being through by easily defeating the Baltimore ladies' singles champion 6-3. Miss Slowe had the lead in the second set when it was called off to allow the men's doubles match to start. Well Managed Caps were given to winners of each event. W. E. Jarvis, undertaker, donated the Junior singles trophy. By far the biggest crowd that has witnessed a match here in years braved the torrid sun to witness the finals. The tournament was handled smoothly in every particular and was a big success. R. T. Williams managed the events.

Anderson will toss the hammer in the seniors while Richardson will race in the dashes and Bright in the half-mile of the juniors. Victor and Vanquish TENNIS Hilldale Victorious in First Local Visit STEVENS HAS BIG DAY AT SHORTSTOP The Hilldale Club, 1923 champs of the Eastern League and at present the pace-setter for the seven other league clubs, made its initial appearance Sunday before a fair crowd and captured their second game of the year from the Potomacs by the score, 1 to 2. "Red" Grier and "Nimp" Winters, two southpaws opposed each other on the mound. Winters received almost airtight support while the Potomacs' defense faltered at critical times which in a few words explains the one-sidedness of the score. Shortstop Stevens, the youngster recently recalled from the Philadelphia Giants by Manager Bolden, was a real thorn in the locals' side. Stevens handled 12 chances cleanly, many of which were of the sensational variety. Washington allowed Hildale to grab an early lead when with two outs in the first inning he raced over in White's territory in center to get Mackey's fly only to lose the ball in the sun, allowing the backstop two sacks. Four hits followed in rapid order and four runs went over. Winters got off badly in the first also when a walk and two hits carried White over but thereafter it was an easy game for the LeDroit Tiger star. Grier fanned Thomas, J. Johnson Most of the fans agreed after the game that Stevens is the best short-fielder seen here this year. We wonder if many of them knew that Stevens is classed among the greatest, black or white in any league in the matter of covering ground.

BOXING NOTES Larry Estridge outpointed Panama Joe Gans, Monday night in a preliminary to the Madden-Renault scrap. The fight was advertised as being for the Colored middleweight championship. Estridge weighed 155 and Gans 154 pounds. It was a free hitting contest and greatly pleased the spectators. George Robinson, colored middleweight of Boston lost a ten-round bout to Tommy Robson in Boston, Monday night. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1924 Howard Playground Boys Win Track Meet YOUNGSTERS FURNISH TRACK THRILL TO MASONS The outstanding feature of the annual Masonic field day exercises held at the American Leagune Park last Friday afternoon was furnished by the boy athletes of the eighteen colored playgrounds of the District of Columbia in the finals of a series of elimination track meets to determine which playground will represent the District in the event that Baltimore accepts a challenge for an inter-city meet. The events were worked up by T. J. Henderson who has charge of the activities of the boys on the school grounds. Hundreds of boys took part in the dual meets which led up to the finals. The events Friday were run off without a hitch and overwhelmingly met the approval of the spectators. The Howard playground track stars under Director Billy Warfield won the meet with the Deanwood playground athletes a close second. Butler of Deanwood was the oustanding star with victories in the running broad jump and hop, step and jump. A special exhibition 100-yard dash event was won by Roland Richardson, the Shaw Junior High speed marvel with Dodson of Howard in second place.

HIGHLAND BEACH TO STAGE TENNIS TOURNAMENT The community at Highland Beach (Md.) will hold its first annual tennis tournament next week. The finals will be played Sunday, August 24. Beautiful trophies have been donated by citizens of the community. Five events are listed: boy's singles and doubles; girls' singles, mixed doubles and men's singles and doubles. Arrangements have been made to take care of the large number of weekend visitors from Washington. The tournament is being fostered by Leonor H. Cook and James E. Walker, both of whom rank among the first ten junior tennis players of the country. "STEELARM" GOES WEST "Steelarm" Taylor, brother of Ben H., manager of the Potomacs will make Detroit his future home. "Steelarm" gave up a successful business in Peoria, Ill., to come here to help his brother put the Potomacs over. He was signed to assume the dual role of trainer-coach. "Steelarm" is included among the great pitchers of all teams. SPORTS CHATTER By H. Scott, Tribune Sports Editor DISTRICT WELL REPRESENTS The District will be well represented in Baltimore next week.

DISTRICT WELL REPRESENTED AT TENNIS TOURNAMENT The District will be well represented at the national tennis championships in Baltimore next week. With such worthy players as Ted Thompson, Tally Holmes, Johnny Wilkinson, Wooldridge, Eddie Davis, Bill Williams, Murray and others entered it would not be at all surprising to see at least three finals with local players listed. Both Thompson and Holmes are almost certain to reach the men's singles semi-final round, provided they do not face each other earlier. Unless we miss our guess one of this pair will bring the supreme honors back to the Capital. In the doubles Holmes and Thompson should have little trouble coming through. In fact the finals may find this combination meeting the same pair it met last Saturday, Wilkinson and Davis. If Miss Slowe decides to enter the tournamentan another national championship for the District is not at all unlikely in the ladies' singles. Allen Wooldridge should repeat in the junior singles. Ted Thompson teamed with Miss Channel of Chicago may give this city part claim to another title, the mixed doubles. Local tennis fans will watch with interest the work of our representatives in the nationals. After seeing Thompson and Holmes' super-tennis last week, tennis lovers here almost as a unit are avowing that if Ted fails it will be because Tally stopped him. Tally Holmes' defeat at the hands of Ted Thompson came as a surprise to the majority of those who have watched each player this season. Few thought that Thompson had the "guts," not a nice word for tennis but answers the purpose. However the kid proved that he is game, through and through. Nobody here however will proclaim Holmes as a has-been. Seven times, this calm man of "bronze" had won the local annual tournament. Three times he was national champion. He has been our leading tennis figure during the history of the American Tennis Association. Old-timers delight in telling that they have yet to see Tally question a referee's decision. Years of activity are claiming Holmes but where the legs and muscle are losing their speed and agility the brain continues to function and that is why any player that faces him today will have his hands full.

Without hesitancy one familiar with this question would answer, a ball park. Yes, an enclosed park in southwest Washington would about settle the issue. Ben Taylor is handicapped at the American League park because he can't play white semi-pro clubs there. In addition any club that gets the park must put up a handsome guarantee and pay off the park attendants. A park in southwest Washington would give the Union League clubs a chance to make some money. Year in and year out independent clubs spend hundreds of dollars in uniforms, umpires fees, transportation, balls and other paraphernalia and when they pass their hats around hardly enough is realized to pay the price of stationery. No better investment awaits a wide-awake business man. There is still considerable useless ground in southwest. Sooner or later we must have a baseball park. Perhaps Deanwood may get one. Even out there the possibilities are good. A man with enough money to start this venture is needed. There are plenty of them here. Right now is the time to get started.

Pitcher Charlie Henry had been going great guns for seven innings and after the Capital City team had socked Cockrell's offerings for four runs, things didn't look so good for the Bolden clan. Wesley hit a home run, two doubles and a single out of four trips to the plate. Carr and Charleston also hit home runs.

The Lincolns beat Joe Williams in the first game. The Royals outslugged the Lincolns to win the second game, 10-5. SOX MOVE UP BY BEATING GIANTS PAIR Baltimore, Md., Aug. 10—The Baltimore Black Sox took a twin-bill from the Harrisburg Giants here today, 6-1, and 15-3. McClure was in great form in the first game. Rojo hit safely in the first game and ran his string of hits up to 13 consecutive games. He didn't play in the second game. The Sox pound "Ping" Gardner for 18 hits to take the second game. Johnston got 6 hits in the two games. DEATH CALLS BLACK SOX THIRD SACKER Baltimore, Md., Aug. 8th—Henry Blackman, third baseman of the Baltimore Black Sox died here tonight at the John Hopkins' Hospital following an illness of about ten days. Blackman was affected by a throat ailment that later developed into complications and caused his death. Although he had been laid up for the last two weeks, his condition did not seem alarming until just shortly before he was rushed to the hospital where death occurred. A native of Dallas, Texas, Blackman was dug up by C. I. Taylor in 1914 and remained a member of that club until the spring of this year when he joined the Baltimore Black Sox. The deceased player leaves a widow, Mrs. Blanche Blackman, in Indianapolis and a sister in Detroit. Blackman was regarded as one of the best hot corner men in colored ranks, a consistent performer in all departments of the game, his most noteworthy feat achieved here in the East was a home run drive in a game against the Cuban Stars in the twelfth inning of a game at Baltimore, June 29th that the Black Sox won, 1 to 0.

Potomac Notes Don't forget to have those garments cleaned before your next home trip, B. H. Goodrich received a nasty blow on his left cheek bone when Eggleton threw to catch Juddy Johnson off third. The ball hit Juddy's leg first which probably saved Goodrich a broken cheek bone. He was "out" for a few minutes. Dr. Carficheal, the club's physician, stated after the game that no bones were broken. Goodrich is about as game as they come and he will soon be in there fighting. All of LeDroit Park was out to see "Nimp" Winters while "Script" Lee drew a flock of Georgetown fans. Mackey was behind the stick Sunday. He started the season at short stop, then was moved to third, then to first base. He is great, anywhere. Carr went almost to the scoreboard to get Taylor's long drive. Elias "Country" Brown holds his popularity here. Oh, that one or two other members of the club had Brown's "pep." Washington has shown vast improvement at bat. Williams, however, appears hopeless both at bat and behind the bat. If not overworked, Grier should be a great pitcher in a year or two. He only needs tutoring on keeping men close to the bags and experience. JEFFERSON WITH EAGLES Jefferson, last year left fielder of the Potomac, is now covering the center pasture for the Texas Eagles, an independent Eastern nine. FLOWERS READY FOR GREB "Tiger" Flowers and Harry Greg are trainnig in Fremont, Ohio for their scheduled bout at the above place on August 21. The Ohio State Boxing Commission has notified Greb that he must go through with the match. The fight will be held in the open air arena in the main street. Promoter Bronson anticipates a $30,000 house. Already 20,000 tickets have been sold. AMOS I AM SIMPLY DYING TO TAKE A TRIP WE MUST SOME PLACE, NOW...

We hope the struggling farmers will get a lot of consolation and encouragement from this brave stand of Mr. Coolidge's. Foreign Policy "America, under providence, has come to be a Nation of great responsibility. We cannot be isolated. Other people exist all about us. Their financial condition is not and cannot be entirely separated from our financial condition. . . We believe in the brotherhood of man, because we believe in the fatherhood of God. That is our justification for freedom and equality. . . The foreign policy of America can best be described by one word—peace. . . We covet no territory; we support no threatening military array."

Sunday the White Sox defeated the Anacostia Giants, 10 to 5, and the young Baltimore Black Sox, 20 to 10. The Sox's pitching ace Hodges, pitched 16 innings and could have gone the limit but Manager Robinson didn't want to take any chance of injuring his wing. Lomax and Burley played great ball for the Sox. Pitcher Gilmore is laid up with a bad finger. Gross is putting up a good game behind the bat for the Sox. THEATRICAL NEWS "THE SIDE SHOW OF LIFE" at the REPUBLIC "The Side Show of Life" adapted from William J. Locke's famous novel, "The Mountebank" will be shown at the Republic on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, August 17, 18, 19 and 20. Featured in the cast are Ernest Torrence and Anna Q. Nilsson. The story is that of an obscure circus clown who, during the war and because of his military teachings becomes a brigadier-general. He isn't equal to the social worlds that his high position gives him, but when the war ends he has to choose between the society beauty he has fallen in love with, and the circus girl he left behind him. It is one of the most unusual and interesting pictures made. "The Side Show of Life" is one of Paramount's "Famous Forty." Maurice Tourneur's mighty thriller, "Torment" will be shown on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, August 21, 22 and 23. It is the story of a band of international crooks who become entombed with their loot underneath a bank in Japan. An earthquake is the cause of their entombment. Their daring escapes and their final regeneration make this picture one of the thrillers of the year. Owen Moore and Bessie Love have the leading roles. Judging by the haste with which divorcees re-marry, marriage is anything but a failure. Speaking of happiness, you won't find it in a larger house or in a more expensive automobile.

The rape of Hayti by both Democrats and Republicans is one of the worst blots on the escutcheon of the American government. For over six years the citizens of the Virgin Islands have been anxiously waiting for the American Government to complete the terms of the purchase agreement. At present the islanders have no status. They are not yet American citizens nor do they remain citizens of Denmark. Mr. Coolidge appointed a special commission to investigate conditions in the islands. This commission returned last spring and made its report, but so far Mr. Coolidge has done nothing toward relieving the situation, which his commission reported to him as being very grave. He evidently forgot this when preparing his speech. Race and Religious Prejudices "There should be no favorites and outcasts; no race or religious prejudices in Government.

No sound and enduring government or prosperity can rest upon anything but the sure foundation of equal opportunity and justice for all." If Mr. Coolidge were out of office, we would probably applaud this statement, but being in office as he is, and to our own personal knowledge having had a full report on segregation in the government departments, we cannot help but blink with amazement at the audacity of the man. From the way Mr. Coolidge speaks, he is not acquainted with the way justice is administered in America, or is wilfully trying to deceive or kid 15,000,000 Negroes. Women's Vote "I want every woman to vote." If Mr. Coolidge wants this—and of course we dare not doubt the sincerity of this New England Puritan—it is very strange indeed that he and his party have absolutely refused to enforce the Constitution in the South where millions of women are denied the privilege of exercising this right. "Under our institutions, success is the rule and failure is the exception. We have no better example of this than the enormous progress which is being made by the Negro Race. To some of its individuals it may seem slow, toilsome and unsatisfactory, but viewed as a whole it has been a demonstration of their patriotism and their worth. They are doing a great work in the land and are entitled to the protection of the Constitution and the law. It is a satisfaction to observe that the crime of lynching, of which they have been so often the victims, has been greatly diminished, and I trust that any further continuation of this national shame may be prevented by law. As a plain matter of expediency, the white man can not be protected unles the black man is protected and as a plain matter of right, law is law, and justice is justice for everybody." 7th and T Sts., N.W.

Walton, in The Sunday New York World. In contrasting Marcus Garvey's idea of taking the Negroes to Africa to demonstrate their ability for self government with the possibilities of the Negro in this country: Mr. Walton says: "North Harlem is frequently likened to a gold mine over which the Negro daily passes to and fro seemingly unmindful or unappreciative of the potential wealth and power within his very midst. "But unlike other sections of Greater New York peopled largely by a distinctive racial group, the Negro appears to be more concerned to be spending money than in joining in any organized movement to legitimately gather in the many thousands of dollars which each day flow into the coffers of storekeepers. On this important phase of his economic development the rank and file appear indifferent and unconcerned." The portrayal of the indifference of the rank and file of the Negroes in Harlem, by Mr. Walton, might well be applied to Washington with her 118,000 Negroes, as well as to every other city of the North. It cannot be said that in a single city where there are thousands of Negroes, have they developed, nor or they developing their possibilities in commercial endeavors. The failure of the Negro to enter into the trading marts of the city in which he locates is a growing mistake. It is a great handicap to the race.

In is the menace of the hour and must be crushed be- t the whole race. Major Moton of Tuskegee, is creating a new issue for the colored people of these United Stites. That issue can best be termed "Motonism." By his cowardly deportment toward white people he is stultifying the whole race. By his baseness in getting rid of the stalwart men and women of Tuskegee, he is demonstrating the elements of a traitor to the race of which he poses as leader. His egotistic anxiety for leadership and the cowardly methods used to keep himself before the eyes of the white people as such, form the greatest menace facing the colored people of this country. Motonism must be destroyed if the race hopes for progress and power. Moton's cowardly acts are demonstrated by his permitting his wife to be kicked off a Pulman car without defending her or protesting against it. His running away from Tuskegee last spring when the Veterans Hospital fight became unpleasant for him, is characteristic. Major Moton's ungrateful meanness is glaring in the dismissal of Dr. Kenney, who had given his life to the upbuilding of the John A. Andrew Hospital at the Tuskegee Institute. Because he dared to be a man and protested against the placing of white men at the head of the Tuskegee Veterans Hospital, Dr. Kenney was hounded out. Warren Logan, treasurer of the Institute was kicked out because Moton could not dominate him and control the finances of the school as he desired. The Major's craving for leadership is demonstrated in his efforts to maintain his principalship at Tuskegee while holding the presidency of the National Negro Business League, and by having himself elected president of a million dollar (on paper) financial corporation. An evidence of his inability to pose as a leader, an educator, and at the same time as a gigantic business man, is his complete failure to do or to propose anything for the Race's progress. His every idea is copied; he has yet to present a new and original program. Looking at it from a progressive standpoint, Motonism is a cowardly, egotistic, futile and menacing effort of a misguided man desiring to lead the race with which he is identified, into a swamp of despair from which it would take years and generations to extricate itself. The colored race needs and really wants leaders of blood and iron—leaders who are removed far enough from slavery to have the Uncle Tom spirit eliminated out of their thoughts and their system; leaders who can think progressively and will have the courage of their convictions; leaders who will have the interest of the race at heart, not personal preferment; leaders who are far sighted enough to realize that it will require time to successfully develop any program that will tend toward racial amity, cooperation and progress; leaders who realize the wonderful opportunities from the standpoint of poor people instead of Negro people. Leaders who can make a program on this proposition and inspire co-operation in its realization, are in demand and will prove to be the opposite of Motonism, in creating racial consciousness and making for racial progress. Motonism is the menace of the hour and must be crushed before it consumes the whole race. wing "prophecy" was received from a subscriber berry, W.

First, the Negro in the North has always had the ballot, but, until recently, it meant little to him in representation. Since 1918, sufficient numbers have concentrated in various localities and thereby have become factors in all of the district, the county, the State and National elections. As a result, racial consciousness has been aroused and representation has been demanded and granted, to the extent that there are city, county, State and National candidates of the race in the coming November election. Secondly, the Ku Klux Klan has spread over the North concurrently with migration of the Negroes. Along with their Klaverns, has spread the menacing spirit of "white supremacy" which culminated in a letter to the President to prevent a Negro from running for Congress in New York. Third, the Klan was organized in the South and embraced by the Democratic party to perpetuate its continuance in office in that section. But in the North, the Republican party, the party PAGE SIX 920 U Street, N.W., Phone, Potomac 1667 "MOTONISM" "A PROPHECY" THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1924 Something of Interest No. 1. How Shall We Vote? , The Party. No Vote, No Cure Mr. Davis's Acceptance The big question confronting Colored Americans this Presidential year is, How shall we vote? The political situation is confused, and there is no novelty in its analysis. It is usually con- (I. L. Parker) prefer to close that period and review it only for the lessons it proffers. We will use that experience to aid us in making our choices for anther four years. How shall we make our choice this year? Whom are we offered? For what do they stand? These are the questions which must be answered next November. This year we are confronted with a three-party situation, each party suffering certain ailments. The party in power has not yet recovered from the shock of the notorious and ignoble breakdown which it brought upon itself by its irresponsibility and bad faith, and it is delaying its recovery by concealing from itself and others its chagrin and moral bankruptcy. The Democrats are infected with an intestinal fever brought on by the furious and futile combats during the convention. The Progressives have a delusion of power which may prove an effective corrective. Though their ailments differ from those of the party in power, they all come from a common source—the dishonesty, the maladjustments one to another of the different parts of our business and social life. The Presidency, the legislatures, the courts, and the party organizations are not performing well the tasks imposed upon them by these maladjustments. For these political agencies, generally, are not guided by ideas, not the fundamental philosophy of government, nor personal character, nor individual convictions, nor the relation of individuals to the great ideas abroad in the world, nor capacity to manage the business of this Great Republic, but by what they characterize as political availability. Rarely does such characterization have anything to do with the ideas the candidates have concerning public affairs. In those cases in which ideas figure in the deliberations of the politicians, they figure, not for their weight or merit as ideas, but for how these ideas may affect certain groups of voters. This party or that may or may not possess the man who might or might not have the character and capacity to make a great President, a great legislator. The politicians may know who and where this man is, yet they will not take their position for or against him on this basis; but on the basis of his appeal or lack of appeal to the prejudices, sectional or otherwise, of certain groups of voters. Such a policy has bred discontent, frustrated popular expectations, and undermined national traditions to an extent which strains our social and legal institutions. We can no longer safely throw the power of our vote to the party, nor can we expect to find the man who would lower the curtain on his political career by championing our cause. We must cast our vote for the man who has foresight, initiative, loyalty, self-criticism, and constructive statesmanship for the masses, irrespective of race or color. A crusade is being made to quicken the consciences of those who just drift with the tide. In 1920 the native and naturalized citizens of voting age numbered 54,420,000, but there were only 26,674,000 votes cast in the election. Not even half of those of voting age responded. Is there not need of such a crusade? This situation was caused to some extent by the practical disfranchisement of the Negro populace of the Southern states. But the same can not be said of North and West, for in these sections the pernicious drifting habit is purely voluntary. It is essential that in this election a full vote be cast. You neglect of the interests of ordinary citizens, yet you fail to regis-complain of misgovernment by politicians, bloc oppression, and ter where personal registry is required. Take advantage of the chance you have this year to go on record against the aggressions of compact and greedy groups and for the man whom you are convinced will protect the unorganized, average American. What an inspiring exhibition of American faith in the value of the majority rule, should the Presidential vote this year be increased 50 per cent! Wake up! ye men and women, and have your say. You can never solve our national problems by dodging them and turning government over to bloc voters. Vote, if you desire a cure. Last Monday night, John W. Davis, the Democratic Presidential nominee, appeared before the bar of public opinion and placed a grave indictment against the management of the Republican party in his speech of acceptance. We were not disappointed. Being a gifted and learned literary man, confronted by the situation which faces him, he saw fit to make his speech of acceptance temperate and its statements felicitously and carefully phrased. Yet, the smoothness and rhythm of his style reminded us of the late Mr. Wilson at his best. Perhaps the outstanding points of his program, as the Negro in general sees it, were those concerning the Ku Klux Klan. Mr. Davis made no mention of the organization by name and should not have been expected to. It was an issue before the Democratic convention and suffered its fate there. We can only hope now to have it fought locally, around the regulatory police laws of the several states, as it deserves to be fought. It is too strong to be killed overnight. His eloquent truisms touching religious liberty are but an elaboration of the platforms of the two big parties. They will neither make nor lose votes. of Lincoln, if you please, has embraced the Klan and in the coming election there are five Republican gubernatorial candidates along with other Republican State and county candidates for office who are avowed Klansmen and are openly supported by the Klan. In the States of Maine, Indiana, Missouri and Oklahoma, the Republican candidates for Governor are all Klansmen. The Klan sentiment was so strong in the Republican Convention at Cleveland, which nominated Calvin Coolidge for President, that it even prevented the denunciation of the Klan in the platform and would not allow a public discussion on the floor. Both the Republican and Democratic platforms straddled the Klan issue. There fore, with the advantage gained by large numbers of migrants to the North comes the disadvantage of increasing numbers of Klansmen and the rapidly spreading menace of the Klan spirit. Will the advantage of increased numbers of the race in the North and its possible political power be offset by the Klan spirit? A. E. H. By I. L. PARKER "The only amaranthine flow'r on earth Is Virtue; the only lasting treasure, truth." fused. Yet, the confusion of tongues and opinions, the arguments, the controversies are indicative of the interest we are taking in shaping our affairs. Our political public health must inevitably become sounder by this great uproar and heated discussion. For it is when there is no political confusion that we are dealt the worst blow. Four years ago there was no political confusion and, as a result, we have the recent government scandals, dishonesty. We do not want another four years of such political administration. We POLITICAL NEWS & VIEWS Ev'n such a wave, but not so pleasureable, Dark in the glass of some presageful mood, Had I for years seen, ready to fall. Following the recent announcement that C. Bascom Slemp, secretary to President Coolidge, and William M. Butler, the President's Campaign manager, had buried the political hatchet, it was learned from reliable sources that the Republican National Committee does not intend to make an active bid for Negro support during the coming campaign. . . Apparently the hatchet has been buried, but in a "lily-white" shroud. When madness rules in brain sick men, When for so slight and frivolous a cause, Governor Charles Bryan, of Nebraska, running mate of John W Davis on the Democratic national ticket, has again leaped into prominence this time by opposing National Defense Day. Back in 1916 his distinguished brother, William Jennings Bryan, toured the country in opposition to military preparedness. Brother Charley does not seem able to avoid inheriting W. J.'s short-sighted policies. In fell motion. With his prepared sword, he charges home. President Coolidge in a letter to Charles F. Gardner, of Fort Hamilton, New York, concerning the candidacy of Charles Roberts, a Negro aspirant for the Republican nomination in the Twenty-first New York congressional district, said: "Our constitution guarantees equal rights to all our citizens, without discrimination on account of race or color. A colored man is precisely as much entitled to submit his candidacy in a party primary as is any other citizen." A strong pronouncement, but constitutional guarantees are worthless without a national determination to maintain them. For forms of government let fools contest John W. Davis, democratic nominee for president, in his speech of acceptance, indicted the Republican Party for corruption in office, revived the League of Nations issue, declared an honest lawyer sells his services, but never his soul, avoided mentioning the Ku Klux Klan by name while asserting his belief in religious freedom, and wants labor to have a voice in all matters of government that affects its own rights. . . . Mr. Davis succeeded admirably in matching the key-note efforts of Senator Pat Harrison to sling mud all over the Republican party. The attempt, and not the deed. Confounds us. Mark Sullivan writing in The New York Tribune said: "Negroes in Indiana are definitely organizing to do the unheard of thing—namely to vote the Democratic ticket." . . . The vote of the Negro can not be delivered en bloc by party leaders, because the Negro now votes as he pleases. Down, yes, down, but not yet out: So there is naught to wail about. The Michigan Tradesman says that Senator LaFollette has posed for 20 years as the foe of bossism and bosses. He has talked as much about steam rollers and boss rule as any man living. One of his favorite texts has been the iniquity of the bulldozing of the people by teh bosses. . . . We are glad to note that LaFollette has recently included the Ku Klux Klan in his little black book of hatred. BISHOP PARKS SENIOR BISHOP OF THE A. M. E. CHURCH THE A. M. E. CHURCH With the death of Bishop L. J. Coppin, Bishop W. H. Parks, of Chicago, Ill., become automatically the senior bishop of the A. M. E. Church—that is senior in active service. Bishop B. F. Lee is the bishop longest in office, having been elected in 1892. As senior bishop, Bishop Parks thus becomes the ranking bishop of 7,000 ministers, who are pastors of 7,500 churches with a membership and following of nearly 800,000 people Bishop Henry Blanton Parks was born in Georgia and educated in Atlanta University. He was missionary secretary from 1896 to 1908, and elected bishop in 1908. Was a delegate to the Ecumenical Conference in 1911; and served as president of the Financial Board of the A. M. E. Church. Was bishop over Alabama and Tennessee, served four quadrenniums over the Fifth District, and is now serving his first quadrennium over the 18th District comprising California, Washington, Oregon and Oklahoma. MUSIC FORUM No concert, rare, Can half compare With that by the old mill side, Where the Toil of man Hath wrought the plan. And Time hath dignified. I AM MUSIC Servant and master am I; servant of those dead, and master of those living. Through me spirits immortal speak the message that makes the world weep, and laugh, and wonder and worship. I tell the story of love, the story of hate, the story that saves and the story that damns. I am the incense upon which prayers float to Heaven. I am the snake which palls over the field of battle where men lie dying with me on their lips. me the dead whisper to the living. One I serve as I serve all; and the king I make my slave as easily as I subject his slave. I speak thru the birds of the air, the insects of the field, the crash of waters on rock-ribbed shores, the sighing of winds in the trees, and I am even heard by the soul that knows me in the clatter of wheels on city streets. I know no brother, yet all men are my brothers; I am the father of the best that is in me; I am of them, and they are of me. FOR I AM THE INSTRUMENT OF GOD. There's music in the sighing of a reed There's music in the gushing of a rill. There's music in all things, if men had cars; Their earth is but the echo of the spheres. —Byron. HARRY T. BURLEIGH ON SPIRITUALS The plantation songs known as "Spirituals" are the spontaneous outbursts of intense religious fervor, and had their origin chiefly in camp meetings, revivals and other religious exercises. They were never "composed," but sprang into life, ready made, from the white heat of religious fervor during some protracted meeting in camp or church, as the simplest, ecstatic utterance of wholly untutured minds, are practically the only music in America which meets the scientific definition of Folk Song. Success in singing these Folk Songs is primarily dependent upon deep spiritual feeling. The voice is not nearly so important as the spirit; and then rhythm, for the Negro's soul is linked with rhythm, and it is essentially characteristic of most all the Folk Songs. It is a serious misconception of their meaning and value to treat them as "ministrel" songs, or to try to make them funny by a too literal attempt to imitate the manner of the Negro in singing them, by swaying the body, clapping the hands, or striving to make the peculiar inflections of voice that are natural with the colored people. Their worth is weakened unless they are done impressively, for through all these songs there breathes a hope, a faith in the ultimate justice and brotherhood of man. The cadences of sorrow invariably turn to joy, and the message is ever manifest that eventually deliverance from all that hinders and oppress the soul will come, and man—every man—will be free. When gripping grief the heart doth wound. And doleful dumps the mind oppress. Then Music, with her silver sound, With speedy help doth lend redress. HOW FOOD EFFECTS THE SINGER When the delicate, sensitive lining of the pharynx is affected, the voice will suffer in consequence. This is especially true in the use of cold milk, cheese or acids of any kind. Cheese and milk have a tendency to thicken the mucous membrane of the pharynx, and all acids act as an astringent. Many singers and speakers resort to the juice of a lemon to cut the phlegm but it will cause a great deal more disturbance than it removes. Caution should also be observed in regard to eating a hearty meal just previous to any prolonged use of the voice. So great is the sympathy be that whatever affects the one affects the other; besides a full stomach, tween the stomach and the throat even of the most wholesome food, interferes with the management of the breath. The diaphragm cannot fully contract when the stomach is distended with food. Besides, the attention of the nervous system is taken up with the active process of digestion and it cannot have so much energy to spare to work properly the vocal and respiratory appartus. If food is taken just previous to putting the diaphragm to work, it should be an easily absorbable and digestible liquid. THE MOTHER'S MESSAGE And when her son wrote her of the royal "command" to appear at Buckingham Palace, she replied, "Remember where you are and where you came from and give credit where it belongs." She stopped her ironing to show some new photographs of the writer (her boy) whom she called a pet name and a picture of a bust just done of him by a sculptress in Dublin. "The only thing, I don't want him to worry," she said. "He's always asking about my health. My health is all right. I haven't been feeling so awful good lately, but I'm not going to doctors about it, though I do laundry for several of them. "The only thing's the trouble with my health is old age, and I haven't heard yet of any cure for that. I've passed the 'three score and ten' the Good Book says is man's life-time, and I'm going to get every day and hour that is intended for me. I'm not woryring and I don't want him to. "I do wish he would get married. When a man's young and successful he's popular, and if he's popular he's going to have temptations. The Lord says to increase and multiply. When I said that to him he said he thought the Lord intended him to remain single and do his work. "Reckon he was fooling. Don't know, though. Anyway, his life's his own. Everybody's life is meant just especially for them, and they've got to live it." "Of course, the good Lord made us women just especially worried about our own particular children. I've lost five, and don't see why they should go and me stay as long as I have. But that's the Plan. The more I see my son getting along, the more pleased I'll be. "But if be'll just believe half as much as I do, I won't have one mental worry when I go." That is the Mother of Roland Hayes, now passed into the great beyond. A Young Composer William Warfield, a young writer of 440 2nd Street, Southwest, has recently written a new song number entitled "I'm Calling You Mine, Sweet Girl!"

Amphions Give Fine Program at Lincoln On August 8th, the Amphion Glee Club in natty summer apparel of blue coats, white trousers and shoes, etc, gave an excellent twenty-minute entertainment of popular and classical selections at the Lincoln Theatre. They sang with good expression and diction, and the excellent training by Director Lewis was quite apparent. Their final meeting for the season was held Thursday evening, but they will resume meetings the latter part of September, and begin preparations for their 33rd anniversary which will be held before Thanksgiving. In the meantime, Mr. Lewis and other members will spend vacation at Atlantic City and New York. The contemplated summer tour has been declared off on account of the dull season at the various summer resorts. SECOND WARNING BY HOODED MEN GIVEN (Preston News Service) Wilmington, N.C. — The second warning by fiery crosses in this city was made Monday night in the Negro section here by more than 100 hooded persons who erected a flaming cross seven feet high in the center of the section. According to those who said they witnessed the demonstration, the hoodsmen nailed a poster to a nearby tree which bore a warning to "bootleggers, crap shooters, pistol toters, women beaters and wife stealers."

Jackson, for a number of years a prominent figure in Virginia, died at his home in Richmond, Wednesday morning after a short illness. Funer- al services will be held Saturday. The passing of Giles B. Jackson re- moves from public life a man who rose from slavery to powerful influ- ence in his state. He was about 80 years of age at the time of his death. ‘He ought in the Civil War as a Con- federate, and was a body guard to Stonewall Jackson, He was a_per- sonsl friend of General Grant and ‘Theodore Roosevelt. In 1907, he was instrumental in hay- ing President Roosevelt request Con- gress to appropriate $100,000 for the creation of a Negro exhibit at the Jamestown Fair. He also. secured through President Wilson's influenee, $55,000 for a Colored Fair in Rich- moad. Giles B, Juckson was the first Ne- gro. to practice law in Virginia, He read law while working as a porter in 2 Richmond law office, Daring his last years he interested himself in a bill for the creation of x Negro Commission, He attended the last Republican Convention and made a fight in behalf of this bill, whieh he sought to have included in the party platform, North Brentwood Officers Named Novth Brentwood, Md., the recently ineceporated Colored town, has com- pleted its roster of officers. Mayor Jeremiah Hawkins, announced — the following as the town officers: Mrs. E. M. Norton, clerk; John Gilmore treasurer; Peter Randall, Madigor Brown, and Julius Wheeler, council. men; Charles B. Tilghman, town mar. shall; Andrew Wood, inspector of streets and reads; Jas. D. Harris. deputy marshall; F. Vanden and Je. voraue Thomas, health officers; S. W. Garland, police justice, and Mr. Blake, Dr. Roberts To Run For Congress After Voters Threaten to Bolt G. 0. P New York City—Forced by a threatened break in the Republican ranks in Harlem, unless more recog- nition were given to Negroes, the Re- publican County Committee. has a- greed to name Dr. Charles Roberts as a candidate for Congress from the 2ist district. This is the first time a Negro has been named on the Con- gressional ticket in the history of New York. In naming Dr. Roberts, the Repub- licans had no alternative. The dis- trict was won from the G. 0. P. two years ago, when Congressman Ansor- age was defeated by a Tammany Hall Democrat, who had the support of the colored vote, This year, Mr. Ansorage desired to be returned to Congress and therefore sought the nomination. When the Re- publican County Committee met, about two weeks ago, an attempt was made to force the usual cut-and-dried program through which, of course, included the placing of Mr. Ansorage’s name on the ticket, Immediately the Harlem delegates set up a protest. They demanded that some deserving Colored Republi- Noted Evangelist | To Preach Here Rev. Dr, R. H. Walker, converted gambler of New York City, one of the most effective orators and gospel preachers in America has stirred Washington as no other man has done in recent years, His style and meth- ods are peculiarly his own. People flock to see and hear him whereever jhe goes. ‘The unprecedented crowd that filled the McKinley Memorial Baptist Church, corner 4th and L. Streets N.W,, in spite of the intense heat the pase two weeks, is an evidence of his great power and popularity. He can sway the people at will, He does not follow in the old ruts and beaten paths of many others who have gone ‘before in his Evangelistic Sermons. /He preaches a practical, instructive can be named instead, The matter was deferred with the hope that a way could be found to pacify the Negro voters who compose a mojority in the district. However, instead of the demand for a Negro abating, it increased- and was soon re-echoed through the precinets of Harlem, So bitter did the fight become, that Harlem leaders dispatched a commu- nication to Mr. Ansorage, petitioning ‘him to get out of the race, Chairman ‘Koenig, who at first was in favor of a colored man for the place, changed his mind. But when. a split was ‘threatened, the Republican leaders be- ‘gan to awake to the seriousness of the situation, with the result that Dr. Charles Roberts, former alderman, was named. However, Mr, Ansorage was kicked up stairs, for, later he was selected to run for Judge of the Court of General Sessions, which carries a salary of $17,500 a year and a term of fourteen years. Dr, Roberts lives at 233 West 189th Street. He is a dentist, and has a darge practice.

Dr. Walker was born in Burgaw, N. ©., and is the son of W. H. and Mrs, Mary Jane Walker. He left home at an early age ,and traveled in Spain, | England, France, Russia, Ireland, | Germany and South America. | After returning to the United | States he condueted a gambling house Ee New York City for ten years which threw him in contact with the under- | world of New York.

The children were at their best in a little pageant, “Into All the World,” which embodied some of the outstand- ing lessons learned through the mis- sionary talks, The school is indebted to Miss Josie Weston for help in mak- ing this pageant a success. She was presented with a beautiful tray made by the pupils as a token of apprecia- tion of her services. Mr. Albion P. Edmonston contributed the electrical additions. Mrs, J. O. Morrison, secretary of the D. V. B.S. presided. The address of the evening was made by Dr. W. L. Darby, executive secretary of the Federation of Churches of the Dis- trict of Columbia. Miss Jeretta Hawkins was princi- pal of the school and was assisted by Mrs. Miriam Williams Lee in charge of the Kindergarten department, and Mrs. Lucille Washington instructing in eraft work. Twenty-three certificates were a- warded for either attendance, good work; or deportment. Mrs, E. C. Wil- liams, a member of the Mission Study Class, awarded the diplomas with ap- propriate remarks, Instrumental numbers were rendered by Misses Aetonnetta Duurloo and Dorothy Shorter, members of the school. The daily offering brought by the chil- Grimke, and many members dren was set aside for Camp Pleasant, After the exercises were over a liberal collection was taken to start a fund for the continuance of the school next year. ‘The school was under the auspices of the Mission Study Class financed by an appropriation for the church to- gether with many voluntary contribu- tions from the Pastor, Dr. F.

S:A. : . : | New York Coupie in Suit For Divorce Through Attorney John H. Wil- son, Mrs. Vever Barton has filed suit for an absolute divorce from Ulysses Barton. In her bill she alleges numerous acts of misconduct on the part of her husband with Elizabeth Bland at divers times and places in the District of Columbia, particularly during the years 1920 ‘and 1921: ‘The plaintiff and defendant were married here on November 1, 1914, by the Rev.

Y. 3 LEADERS and MASSES ENDORSE LaFOLLETTE Since the selection of Senator Robert Marion LaFollette, of Wiscon- sin as a candidate for the President of the United States, an unceasingly large number of Negroes have been going over to his standard, The trend to Senator LaFollette is not confined to the so-called upper class, but is also firmly deep seated in the masses. Senator LaFollete has received pledges of support from a number of influential men and women. Many of these people will probably take the stump before the campaign closes. Among those who have recently pledged their support to the Progres- sive candidate are Dean William Pick- ens of the N. A. A. C. P.; Mr, John F, Alexander of Milwaukee, Wiscon- sin; J. E. Clayton of Texas; Thomas H. R. Clarke of Washington, D. C.; James S, Simpson of New York; J. B, Verdun of New Orleans; Mack J. Spears of Los Angeles, California; Charles E.
