DAVIS HINTS COLOR IS NO BAR TO APPOINTMENT Democratic Nominee Takes Stand on Answer to Direct Question New York City—John W. Davis, Democratic nominee for President of the United States, declared in a letter in answer to one received from Eugene McIntosh, a political leader in Harlem, that he meant just what he said in his speech of acceptance with reference to filling positions without regard to race or color. The McIntosh letter, after calling Mr. Davis' attention to the fact that he had left out the word "color" in a phrase of his acceptance speech, stated: "Since the national Democratic party in the past has not seemed to favor Presidential appointments to office of colored citizens, may I not ask you directly the question: If being a colored citizen would be a bar to Presidential appointments by you if elected President." Mr. Davis, in his reply however, failed to insert the word "color" but stated instead: "My acceptance speech meant exactly what it said. In making appointments I shall consider only the ability of the applicant and his fitness for the position which he wishes to occupy." Auction Sale of Dingle Property Averted Auction Sale of Dingle Property Averted The sale at public auction of Eighth street property belonging to J. Gordon Dingle, which was to have taken place Friday afternoon, was averted by a settlement with representatives of Mortimer M. Harris, a local real estate dealer. The property which was advertised to be sold consisted of five houses—1832, 1842, 1852, 1856, 1858 Eighth Street, Northwest—which were included in the fifteen houses placed in the hands of Mr. Harris by Mr. Dingle for sale. Mr. Harris held notes given by Mr. Dingle, which were secured by deeds of trust on this property. Mr. Dingle failed to pay when the notes came due and the trustees advertised the property for sale at public auction. A suit is now pending in the equity division of the District Supreme Court brought by Mr. Dingle for a discovery and accounting for the sale of ten of these houses by Mr. Harris. He alleges that the terms of a contract entered into by them were not carried out by Mr. Harris in that he failed to make a proper accounting of monies due him. Through Attorney James A. Cobb, an answer has been filed, in which it is declared that this suit was not brought in good faith by Mr. Dingle, against the plaintiff for two alleged worthless checks. While the answer to this suit was prepared by Atotney James S. Cobb, it was sworn to by Joseph T. Settle as attorney and agent for Mortimer M. Harris, who was n Europe at the time. Mr. Harris himself is expected to be back in his office from his European trip by the latter part of next week. Only Few Negroes Attend Notification of Pres.

Washington's Best Advertising Medium. ay Night League TELLS LITTLE OF POLICIES BUT PRAISES RACE President Seems Unwilling to touch on Important Economic Questions Economic emancipation is being splendidly wrought out by the colored people for themselves and their full political rights will be won through the inevitable logic of their position and rightfulness of their claims. This is the belief of President Coolidge as expressed in a letter to the National Negro Business League, which met in Chicago this week. The communication of the President was sent on the occasion of the Silver Jubilee and twenty-fifth annual session of the Business League, which was held in Chicago, Illinois, August 20, 21 and 22. Felicitations After felicitating the organization and extending good wishes, he paid tribute to the late Booker T. Washington, who founded the League. He commended the economic advancement of the race and reiterated his statement with regard to the political rights of Negroes that was contained in a letter a few days ago to a citizen of New York who sought to enlist his influence against a colored candidate for a Congressional nomination. The letter was written under date of August 14 just before the President left on his vacation. Its full text is as follows: "The approaching annual convention of the National Negro Business League is of particular interest and note because it will mark the quarter centennial of this organization. In addressing to you, for the convention, my felicitations and good wishes on this occasion, I wish particularly to pay tribute to the League's founder and your distinguished predecessor, the late Booker T. Washington. His vision of the problems of the colored people was indeed that of a seer, and your League is one of the monuments to his life work. "Only a few weeks ago, I had the pleasure, at the commencement of Howard University, of reviewing briefly and inadequately the material evidences of the progress of the colored people. I shall not now recapitulate what was then said, but I wish to tell you of the deep impression that was made upon me by my studies of the Negro race's achievements. In the accumulation of wealth, establishment of material independence and the assumption of a full and honorable part in the economic life of the Nation, it may fairly be said that the colored people themselves have already substantially solved these phases of their problem. "If they will go forward along the lines of their progress in recent decades, and under such leadership as your own and many others their excellent organizations are affording their future would be well cared for. That they will continue in this way of advancement cannot be doubted by any one who knows their accomplishments heretofore. They will continue their efforts for educational progress and spiritual betterment; and just as they demonstrate their eagerness for such improvement, they will find themselves enjoying a constantly greater and greater support and sympathy at the hands of the whole community. Political Rights "As to the political status and failure of the colored people, I cannot better present my views than by quoting from a letter which I wrote a few days ago to a correspondent who had sought to enlist my influence against a colored man become a can- (Continued on page 3) LOCALS AND SOCIETY PAGE TWO Mrs. Rachel Carroll the wife of Mr. Alphonzo Carroll of 1621½ Eleventh Street, N.W., and Mr. and Mrs. Wallace F.

REPUBLIC THEATRE COMPROMISES CENSOR BOARD'S RULINGS Will Show Pola Negri Picture Without Eliminations, but Suggest Parents See it First So passionate is Pola Negri's new picture "Lily of the Dust" that the Republic Theatre found itself in a peculiar predicament. The management had advertised the picture to be shown in its entirety commencing Sunday, August 24th for an entire week. Last week, the Virginia and Maryland censor boards ordered certain sections of the picture omitted, while the Republic management demanded the picture be run by them as advertised. Naturally, the questoin of admitting children came up. This was the first time such a question has ever arisen in regards to a picture showing at the Republic. The management did not want to advertise that children would not be admitted, that being undesirable publicity. Mr. Sanford, the manager, explained the situation to the newspaper men of Washington and invited them to a special screening of the picture last Wednesday night, in order that their opinion be heard on the matter. After seeing the picture, it was suggested that as the Republic had advertised to show the picture in its entirety without eliminations, it should but to insert the following in all of its publicity matter: "Lily of the Dust,' a motion picture starring Pola Negri of a type for adult patronage. The Republic management therefore suggests that parents view this picture before permitting their children to see it, in order that parental judgment be exercised." The above suggestion was gratefully accepted, and inserted in all publicity.

In reply, among other things, I said: "The suggestion of denying any measure of their full political rights to such a great group of our population as the colored people is one which, however it might be received in some quarters, could not possibly be permitted by one who feels his responsibility for living up to the traditions and maintaining the principles of the Republican party. Our Constitution guarantees equal rights to all our citizens without discrimination on account of race or color. I have taken my oath to support that Constitution. It is the source of your rights and my rights. I propose to regard it, and administer it, as the source of the rights of all the people, whatever their belief or race." "I stand on that statement and believe it marks the line along which the colored people will advance to the full establishment of their rightful political status. Just as emancipation from slavery was granted by the importal Lincoln, so is economic emancipation being splendidly wrought out by the colored people for themselves; so I believe their full political rights will be won through the inevitable logic of their position and rightfulness of their claim.

But by giving the Washington public CONSTRUCTIVE NEWS week in and week out, has maintained undisputed leadership in local circulation. THE TRIBUNE HAS NO STALE READERS An outstanding feature of The Tribune's leadership is the fact that 90 per cent of its readers buy their papers by the week or month. This unusual fact alone testifies to the sterling qualities of The Tribune as these readers must be attracted each week by the sheer interest of this paper's news and features. NEWS POLICY RECEIVES GREAT CARE The fact that The Tribune is quoted more widely by the leading Metropolitan dailies than any other race journal, not only speaks well for the quality and forcefulness of these articles, but it shows the time, care and thought that is given to the news policy of this great weekly.

The effect of these changes and additions is to place Howard University in the first division of law schools in this country. This division with Howard added now numbers 45 out of a total of 146 law schools and makes it but a question of a short time when this School of Law will not only be accorded membership in the Amerianc Law School Association to which it is now fully eligible, but also to enrollment as a full-pledged Class A law school under the rules of the American Bar Association.

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.

E-2 PAGE THREE The Tribune Sport Review Margin of Few Points Separates Departmental and UnionLeague Leaders PAGE FOUR Two Clubs Pushing Teddy Bears HALF GAME SEPARATES TREASURY AND VETERANS BUREAU Pennant race of the District's two independent baseball leagues—Union and Departmental—are so hot that at least three clubs in each circuit have chances to cop the bunting. Less than two weeks remain before the Departmental League will close its season. The Union League season will end about the middle of September. Veterans Pushing Treasury Veterans Pushing Treasury The Treasury nine with a half game lead over the Veterans Bureau can't afford to loaf through the remainder of the schedule. Neither club has completed its schedule. Tuesday's victory of the Vets over last year's champs placed the pair on even terms but Wednesday the Treasury again took the lead by trimming the Government Printing Office. Bears Pulling Away The Teddy Bears are slowly pulling away from the other Union League clubs. The club now has a two-game elad over the St. Cyprians. A double victory over the Buffaloes should about clinch the pennant. Practically every league club has about a half dozen games yet to play and as each team is probably flashing its best form now, the finish is sure to be close. COLORED NEW YORK TRACK STAR SHOWS HEELS Eric Dawson, a former De La Salle High School track star of New York won the 100-yard dash of the junior metropolitan track and field meet at Jersey City, Saturday afternoon. He represented the Salem Crescent A. C. and made the distance in 10 3-5 seconds. TIGERS GO TO MARYLAND The LeDroit Tigers will journey to Silver Springs, Md., Saturday, August 23 to tackle an All-Star club, Manager West will have the cub in charge and a general shake up is expected. The Tigers will leave 4th and W Streets, N.W., at prompt 1:30 p.m. Manager Richardson of the Pride of Arlington Athletics has about completed arrangements to take the Athletics to Fredericksburg, Va., to take on the Fredericksburg Frogs. Three of the Athletic moundmen have been delivering all season. They are Walker, the club's ace, "Sneck" Snow and Holmes. The Arlington club is also strong in every other position. LAFAYETTES LOSE Alexandria, Va.—The Frederieksburg Frogs gave the Lafayettettes the severest ttruncation of the season when they copped a 13-6 victory over the local lads. The game was played in the Dreadnaught Park on Wednesday. Evidence of the poor support given the locals' pitcher can be best expressed in the statement that not more than six hits were made off him. Rather too much squabbling consumed time, especially when considering that the club is attempting to build up a good paid patronage. Felton starred for the home boys at shortstop while Lee featured with a long hit. TEDDY BEARS DRAW NEAR TO LEAGUE PENNANT The Teddy Bears increased their lead in the Union League pennant race by decisively defeating the LeDroit Tigers, Sunday, 13 to 1. "Big Ed" Barner was on the mound for the winners and let the Tigers down with six scattered hits and fanned eigh. Payne's catching and Fell's home run featured.

Tennis Tournament Draws Big Entry LOCAL PLAYERS FAVORED TO ENTER FINALS --- Ted Thompson, Tally Holmes, E Saitch and Dr. Williams have their followers when a mention is made of the national tennis champion for 1924-25. By virtue of Saitch's victory over the two District stars in Philadelphia last week, he rules a slight favorite over the other three. Dr. Williams has been picked by former champion Edgar Brown. Washingtonians believe that if Tally is given a cool day or that if Ted doesn't crack that either will take the New Yorker's measure if they clash again. Bordentown In 1925 The American Tennis Association will hold its 1925 tennis tournament at Bordentown, N.J., during the week of August 24. The above place was selected after supporters for Wilberforce, Ohio, had withdrawn. Dr. Harry S. McCard of Baltimore was re-elected president of the association. The Association was officially welcomed to Baltimore by Mayor Jackson on Wednesday. Large crowds are attending the events daily. Nearly 150 entries were received for the men's singles. The Druid Hill park courts are being used. The finals will start at 10:00 o'clock Saturday. THOMPSON AND HOLMES LOSE TO SAITCH Washington's favorites—Tally Holmes and Ted Thompson—were defeated in Philadelphia last week by E. Saitch, the New York tennis phenom. Thompson was eliminated in the semifinals in straight sets while Holmes met his Waterloo in the finals by the score, 6-2, 4-6, 6-1, 6-2. Holmes and Thompson won the men's doubles defeating Saitch and Geo. Smith, both of New York, 6-2, 6-2, 6-8, 5-7, 6-1. The last set had to be played in Baltimore, Wednesday. WAR VETERANS PROTEST COLOR LINE IN BOXING Ottawa, Aug. 18—A recent ruling by the Ontario Athletic Commission, which prevents white and Negro boxers from being matched and which caused local promoters to call off a bout between Fred Snell, Toronto light-heavyweight, and Denis Critchelow, Ottawa Negro, has evoked a protest from the local branch of the Great War Veterans' Association on behalf of Critchelow, who is a former service man. In a telegram sent today to J. P. Fitzgerald, Secretary of the Ontario Boxing Commission, F. G. Forster, President of the local war veterans, protested against the ruling, pointing out that Critchelow has a good war record and a clean sporting record. "There was no color line for active service and there should be none in sport," the telegram said. DR. WILLIAMS WINS CHICAGO NET CHAMPIONSHIP. (Preston News Service) Chicago, Ill., Aug. 21—Dr. Owen B. Williams, picked by Edgar Brown, national champion, to win the national title at Baltimore this year and representing the Imperial Tennis Club of Chicago, decisively defeated Richard Hullin, late of St. Louis, and the University of Chicago student, representing the Prairie Tennis Club, for the Prairie Tennis Club's Chicago championship, Saturday. BIG LABOR DAY ATTRACTION A unique attraction is promised followers of the Union League on Labor Day when the club holding the league lead on September 1st will meet an All-Star aggregation picked from the six other clubs. The Teddy Bears with a fairly safe lead looms as the most probable nine to face the all-stars. The men selected from each of the clubs follow: Taylor, L. Barbour and Hunter of Deanwood; Slade, Campbell, Greenfield and J. Williams of St. Cyprians; Nickens, Bland, Franklin and Grant of Buffaloes; M. Harris, Smith, Turner and B. Jefferson of Tigers; E. Williams, Holt and Brown of Oriental;s; Richardson and Beckham of Va. All'S stars. A double-header is carded with play starting at 1:30 o'clock. The admission will be 25 cents. No other games will be played on Labor Day. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY. AUGUST 23. 1924 Howard Gridironers To Report Sept.15 Less than a month remains before Howard University football candidates will answer the call of Head Coach Eddie Morrison and don the moleskins for the preliminary football grind. If the spring football practice can be held as a criterion, then upward of three scores of warriors will be romping the campus by the third week of September. Although in numbers Howard will look strong, in actual playing experience and ability the coaching staff will likely have its hands full developing a capable eleven. Coach Morrison, resuming the Howard mentorship after a year's lay-off, will find every man of that famous 1920 combination gone. Not a regular of the 1922 varsity will be on hand while but a half dozen members of the entire first and second team of last year's squad will be available. According to reports, quite a few northern high school athletes are expecting to enter Howard this fall and one or two may possess unexpected football ability. Dr. Morrison will will be assisted by Jimmy Trigg the former Syracuse University star tackle. BLACK SOX COME FROM BEHIND TO WIN Coming from behind in the last of the ninth, the Black Sox scored three runs and nosed out the Harrisburg Giants, 7 to 6, at the Maryland Park. A home run by Beckwith with Holloway on base tied the count for the locals, who won when Rojo singled stole second and came home when Fiall, at short, let Catcher Battles' throw go through him. Henry, who started the hurling for Harrisburg, had a world of stuff for five innings, during which time not a hit was made by the Block Sox, and the Giants held a 6-to-0 lead. Rain held up the game at the start of the sixth, and when play was resumed Henry was unable to keep up his good twirling. VIRGINIA TENNIS TOURAMENT A THRILLING AFFAIR (Preston News Service) Petersburg, Va., Aug. 22—Displaying an unbeatable brand of tennis in combining consumate skill in execution of strokes and splendid judgment, J. W. Anderson of Lawrenceville capped the men's doubles title; Mrs. Gertrude Preston of Roanoke, won the ladies singles championship; and Mrs. Preston and Dr. J. L. McGriff captured the mixed doubles of the Virginia Tennis Association in the sixteenth annual tournament of the association held at Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute at Petersburg. One of the features of the tournament, which was perhaps the most successful ever held, was the awarding of a beautiful silver loving cup given by Dr. E. D. Downing, to the association, to the Norfolk Tennis team composed of J. B. Robinson John T. Mainor, Jr., J. E. Watkins and P. Bernard Young, Jr., for "excellent sportsmanship, fine effort willingness and general demeanor," in their first appearance at the state meet against such strong opposition as they drew in their matches. ..SPEED CHAMP ARRESTED Malcom Hannon, 552 1-2 Indiana Avenue, winner of the 100-mile automobile race at the state fair ground, August 2, was arrested on charge of blind tiger and transporting liquor, and George Graham, 707 North West Street, his manager, was arrested on charge of failure to display a certificate of title, blind tiger and transporting liquor, by Lieutenant Cliff Richter and squad last Saturday night. They were in an automobile in the rear of 525 Indiana Avenue and were in possession of a gallon of white mule whiskey, Lieutenant Richter reported. GEORGETOWN A. C.

WIN ONE WITH HILLDALE The five-game series between the Hildale club and the Potomac which started here on August 10 and ended in Philadelphia, Saturday, proved rather disastrous for the local clan which dropped four out of the five. The Potomac won only the second game which was played at Wilmington. Manager Taylor juggled his line-up each day in an effort to produce a winning order. At the Hildale park Thursday a double-bill was won by the champions. "Nimp" Winters and Phil Cockrell were the winning hurlers while Hampton in one game and Grier in the other were the victims. The batting Judy Johnson featured the twin bill. A shake up in the Hildale line-up found Mackey at third, Judy Johnson at short and young Stevens on the bench. Win in Eleventh It took the Hilldale eleven hectic innings to score a hairline win over Ben Taylor and his Washington Potomacs, the Bolden clan grabbing of another victory in the second inning of over-time by the score of 4 to 3 in the game of August 14th. The boys from the District gave a unique exhibition of cuffing the apple and lambasted Rosy "Red" Ryan for fifteen lusty wallops, that only netted three runs. Four of the visitors were snuffed at the plate and every inning found some of the Washingtonians stranded on the sacks. George Carr's speed on the paths gave Hilldale the odd tally, scoring from second while Finley was tossing Ryan out at first. Wayne Carr pitched great ball, but was put out of the game by umpire Burton for too vigorously protesting a decision on balls and strikes in the eighth inning. The victory marked the first win for Hilldale over Washington at Hilldale Park. Hilldale .....010 000 020 01—4 Potomacs .....011 000 100 00—3 Protectory Oval yesterday afternoon. The Giants won the first game by a score of 5 to 1, and the second by a score* of 10 to 4. Dave Brown pitched a great game against the Cubans in the early performance. The big pitcher was at his best and held the visitors from Havana to six hits. It was not until the ninth inning that the Cubans succeedd in reaching the plate. It was the third time this season that Brown has conquered the Cuban Stars. Oscar also turned in a good game for the visitors. He allowed only seven hits, but the Giants made the most of them. They scored three runs in the third, one in the sixth and two in the eighth. Williams made homers in each game. DAILY 6 P.M.-SAT., SUN.,-HOLIDAYS-3 P.M.

For Sale at All Newsstands, 5c per copy Advertising Rates Furnished on Request The failure of the Union Laborers Bank of this city, while to be regretted, should have been expected: The announcement this week that the bank had closed its doors did not come as a surprise to many business men who have known for months that its affairs were in all but a healthy state. There are many reasons why this bank failed. First of all, the bank was started with little or no capital; and secondly, without the supervision of the Government over its affairs. The lack of capital resulted in its losses falling on the depositors rather than on the corporation or promoters. The lack of government supervision resulted in there being no guiding or correcting hand as to its activities, making possible bad loans. It was highly essential, since all the men connected were without any banking or business experience whatever, that the bank should have been under Government supervision. Government supervision would have prevented the using of the public's deposits to meet operating expenses, which seemingly was the main cause of the failure. Government supervision not only would have prevented unbusiness-like transactions, but would have corrected any such that in any way endangered the absolute security of the public's deposits. There has been started an agitation for a law requiring all banks to be under government supervision.We favor such legislation. As it now stands, it is reassuring to know that both the Industrial and Prudential banks are under Government supervision, with sufficient paid in capital to protect depositors, and the recent statements of these banks show them to be in a healthy state. CANDIDATE COOLIDGE and PRESIDENT COOLIDGE There is a distinction and obvious difference between Candidate Coolidge and President Coolidge. It came out prominently in Candidate Coolidge's acceptance speech and in the letter of Candidate Coolidge to Chas R. Gardiner of Ft. Hamilton, N.Y. The letter to Mr. Gardiner is obviously that of Candidate Coolidge, in a cheap effort to stage a political come-back with the colored voters of the North. As an evidence of it, President Coolidge repeats a paragraph of that letter, in his letter of felicitations to the National Negro Business League, which met in Chicago this week. He also refers to his address at the Howard commencement in June. As candidate, Mr. Coolidge says: "Our constitution guarantees equal rights to all our citizens, without discrimination on account of race or color." As President, he took the oath to uphold and maintain those guarantees of the Constitution. As President, he has failed to enforce those guarantees. Suffrage is denied, although it is guaranteed by the Constitution. Discrimination and segregation exist in all the departments of Government, over which President Coolidge presides, why as President, does he not issue an executive order eliminating these inequalities in his own government, even in the White House where he lives? Candidate Coolidge says: "I have taken my oath to support that constitution. I propose to regard it and administer it." We would ask President Coolidge, "When?" Candidate Coolidge should remember that he has been President for more than a year and that the colored people are not able to distinguish a scintilla of difference between his and his predecessor's administration. It will be rather difficult to give credence to a candidate's promises, when that same candidate fails to enforce, maintain and execute the constitution while already filling the office he aspires to as candidate. How can we hear what Candidate Coolidge says for looking at what President Coolidge does or fails to do? In his acceptance speech here last week, Candidate Coolidge said: "We covet no territory; we support no threatening military array." The rape of Haiti, by the marines, of which the President is commander in chief, will not bear out that statement. Not only have the marines raped and killed more than 4,000 Haitians, supplanted their civil government with the military, abolished their law making departments, but they have gone to the jumping off place and substituted the military for the judiciary, and have taken the courts out of the hands of the natives. They have also suppressed freedom of speech by jailing editors who dared to speak out against the dastardly crimes of the marines, who are there under the orders of the President, and by the command of the National City Bank of New York. Candidate Coolidge also said in his acceptance speech: "There should be no favorites and outcasts; no race or religious prejudice in government." Then why does President Coolidge maintain "race prejudice" in his government? President Coolidge's Government makes an "outcast" of the colored applicant for civil service employment, when, after passing a creditable examination and having been placed high on the list of eligibles, the colored applicant, when designated for appointment, is often told, after arriving in Washington and presenting him or herself in person for service, that "the place has been filled" or "there is no vacancy" or "we can place you in a messenger's position or send you to the Bureau of Engraving." "There should be no favorites" but why does President Coolidge permit his underlings to play favorites and keep efficient colored clerks from advancement although they have served ten, fifteen, and even twenty and twenty-five years in their department? There are "outcasts," "race prejudice," and "favoritism" going on here in Washington, right under President's Coolidge's nose. His personal aide, Col. C. O. Sherrill is one of the rankest offenders. As officer in charge of public buildings and grounds, he makes "outcasts" of colored people on the public tennis courts, baseball diamonds, on the golf links, at the public bathing beach. He "discriminates" on the basis of "race prejudice" in the restaurants at the Capitol, and the Library of Congress. He "discriminated" and made "outcasts" of colored people at the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial and had "discriminating" signs placed in Rock Creek Park. Candidate Coolidge must know of this "discrimination." It has been brought to his personal attention as President, especially that of the departments. But President Coolidge has continued on in the even tenor of his way, and has failed, so far as the public can discern, to lift his little finger to eliminate "discrimination" and "race prejudice" in his government, which he as Candidate Coolidge, says should not exist. PAT HARRISON NOMINATED WITH 40.000 Senator Pat Harrison, of Mississippi, was nominated this week with a total vote of about 40,000, which is about two per cent of the total population of the State.

A new religion takes the centre of the stage to-day. A religion which as well serves its purpose as any ecclesiastical. For want of another appellation we call it an Economic religion. By some it is claimed that the new interest in economics is but a tidal movement, but in reality it is a ground swell moving the entire mass of the waters. It is affecting every phase of human endeavor. The white American has committed himself to it with an organic and complete committal; the Colored American must awaken and launch himself on these waters and be lapped in their waves. Its effect is not localized, nor are (I. L. Parker) of demarcation. The lawyer, the physician, the educator, et cetera, and even the preacher feels the presence of this new religion; for it has found a lodging place in every city, village, and country crossroad. It is a new spirit growing in its intensity—a thunderous voice of the people demanding a hand in the shaping of their destinies. A new religion, a new spirit? Yes. It is new nominally, but actually it is not. Since men began to make their influence felt, there has been a certain class which has striven to hold in check the spread of this Economic religion. It was considered a religion for the select—for the propertied class. But the chains have been plucked asunder, the fetters broken in pieces; and it has gone out through all the earth giving rise to serious political results. We are not advocating a discard of ecclesiasticism, but calling attention to an ever increasing force which makes for good or for ill in our everyday life. It has quickened our consciences to the extent that we are slowly, but surely, realizing that there is not divine right of property—that the masses are not born a sub-human herd to be booted and looted by a favoured few. The success with which organized religion has been used to keep peace for the favored few has taught the toiling masses a hard but worth-while lesson. No longer can they rely on aristocracy to better the existing order of things. They must realize that the religion of Economics, their salvation, lies not in their weakness, but in their concerted strength; not in their humiliation, but in their mastersies and achievements. For it does not make them lie grovelling shamefully on the earth, but gives them new life, new hopes, stronger determinations, and increases their upward movement to material welfare. It has given wings to the conceptions of political subserviency and passive obedience to despotic authority, and a determination to the working class to HAVE. * * * * * * * Were it not probable that Governor Bryan, Vice-Presidential nominee on the Democratic ticket, may reside in the White House—entering through the back door of the Vice-Presidential nomination,—we would dismiss his speech of acceptance at Lincoln, Neb., last Monday night, with just one word. Perhaps he aroused the most interest in the agricultural sections of the great Middle West by recognizing "the importance of agriculture as one of the basic industries of the Nation," and giving assurance that his party pledges its support in the "advancement of the farmers of the country." The working class will also welcome the fact that he realizes that "labor is not a commodity"; that "the Nation can not progress" unless the laborer progresses. Nor can the Nation ignore "the inalienable rights" of the laborer "without jeopardizing the rights of all." Having traversed the rocky ground from 1896 to 1908—the three sacred campaigns of his silver-tongued brother,—without a slip, and having witnessed the succeeding administrations, he is able to see that the great need of the hour is an honest, efficient, and an economic government. The lack of this in the present administration has caused "unrest through the country." A few at least will find some solace in his modest and sensible speech. There is no standard type of farmer in America. The sooner we realize it, the sooner will efforts be made to understand agricultural conditions. What is meant by the term "American farmer"? It is not descriptive, nor does it mean much that is definite about a man's environment, his business ability or his outlook upon life. Can any dominant type of farmer or of farming be found in a country so big, with farming possibilities so variable as ours? A thorough understanding of this fact would remove much misunderstanding and confusion of counsel. Farming, to a considerable number of men and women, is but a manner of living and not a business. They stay rooted in rural communities for generations, some of their members having no thought of drifting elsewhere or into other lines of work. They are home loving and conservative and prefer economy to debt. Yet, a greater number consider the commercial side, but keep individual holdings within the limits of what they call the "family farm." Having a fair background of experience and keeping in touch with the work of their experiment stations, they operate these family farms so that there is no heavy investment in labor, nor disaster brought on by a bad year. They are able to distribute their labor throughout the year by diversification of production. But there are those sections which lack diversification of crops. They are the ones that have a surplus of products for export—the ones hardest hit by deflation. Inflated prices during the war caused some to place heavy mortgages upon their farms; others to extend their farming operations. But the drop in prices left them without equity, or caused them to suffer heavy losses. It is this situation which creates a difficult problem, bulks large in the discussions of relief measures for agriculture and becomes rightly a matter of concern to all of us. on the disfranchisement of a third of its citizens is graphically portrayed in the report of Pat Harrison's nomination. The inconceivable perversion of reasoning and the un-American inconsistent attitude of the Republican party, having the power of Congress in its hands to permit this political inequality to exist, eludes one's grasp. The efforts of the colored people of the South to restore their franchise, have been ineffectual and unavailing. The colored voters of the North must take up this question and fight it to a finish. We hope a beginning will be made at the annual conference of the colored Republicans of New Jersey, in their meeting next month. The Northern colored voter is in a position to make demands upon the party he supports. One of the first demands should be the cutting down of Southern representation in Congress to conform with the voting population of the state. That would be a definite blow at the South. It could not afford to have its representation cut, for then it would lessen its power in Congress, eliminate its leadership of the Democratic party and transfer that power and leadership to the North. Congressman Tinkham, of Massachusetts has a bill before the Rules Committee of the present Congress demanding the appointment of a commission to make a complete survey of suffrage conditions in the South, with the view of recommending proper logic By I. L. PARKER want of another appellation we call it an Economic religion.

In accepting the Republican Vice-Presidential nomination, General Charles G. Dawes declared that: "this is a campaign of brass tacks, not bombast." The speech was delivered in characteristic Dawes' fashion, minus the famous "Hell and Maria" punctuations, covered the achievements of the party in power, assailed the La Follette movement and the "donothingness" of the Democratic party. Not for fame, but virtue's better end. He stood the furious foe. Political "dopesters" are somewhat at sea as to the probable outcome of the LaFollette movement. Admittedly, the LaFollette party is a party of compromise. Its platform was constructed to attract the discontents from either of the two great parties as well as the independents. That the movement is no longer confined to the so-called "radical Northwest," is evidenced by the increasing numbers of Negroes, Jews and Catholics who are daily being converted to the LaFollette doctrines. I had thought the honor, sir, of your good name. Had been more precious to you. Governor Chas. W. Bryan formally accepted the Democratic Vice-Presidential nomination at Lincoln, Nebraska, in a speech in which he said: "that the need of the hour in governmental affairs was honesty, efficiency and economy." His distinguished brother, William Jennings Bryan, lent added color to the occasion by declaring that John W. Davis the Democratic Presidential nominee, was the highest type of progressive Democrat. . . Now that the Bryan brothers have poured the oil of progressivism upon Mr. Davis, the Democratic party need not apologize for taking 103 ballots to nominate their Presidential candidate. And I can weep, can hope, and can despond. Feel wrath and pity, when I think of these things. We wonder how long it will be before certain newspapers awaken to the fact that "the old traditions," with "big business" in the saddle, and corruption on the rampage, have gone never to return. A new order has arisen which at least realizes that this is a government not of class or certain interests controlled by big business, but of, for any by the people. Sit down awhile. And let us once again assail your ears. A debate between a Republican woman and a Democratic woman was staged recently before the Women's Club of Chatauqua Lake, N.Y., made up of a thousand women at Chatauqua Lake for the summer. . . . We wonder why got in the last word. You must not think that a satiric style Allows of scandalous and bruitish words. "The country" observes the Indianapolis Star, "will get no farther than the "Laf" when thinking of LaFollette as President. . . . Yes, but he who laughs last, often laughs best. Learn to make your mistakes on a small scale. Organ playing requires an invariably firm, quick pressure on the keyslation to reduce representation. The colored voters could help Congressman Tinkham, by demanding of their Congressmen that they vote for the passage of that bill at the coming session in December. DAWES' FOOLISH SPEECH Gen. Chas, G. Dawes, vice presidential candidate on the Republican ticket, may be an excellent financier and European plan maker; but as a vice presidential speech maker, he appears foolish and dangerous. There was neither political acumen, statesmanship nor diplomacy in the speech of acceptance Tuesday night in Chicago. The Ku Klux Klan can not be expected to do any more than Dawes did Tuesday night, to foster class war by the waving of the red flag. The United States was born in revolution, the Union was saved in a revolution and many of the Constitutional amendments were born out of just such "radicalism" as Dawes denounced Tuesday night. Direct election of Senators was considered "radical" when first suggested by Senator La-Follette. Woman Suffrage was considered "radical" for a long time. Prohibition was considered as "radical" a number of years ago. The abolition of slavery was "very radical" back in the fifties. Now that Senator La Follette is advocating justice through the courts and the direct election of the President, he is "radical" as termed by the vice presidential candidate of the Republican party in his speech of acceptance last Tuesday night. Because Senator La Follette has declared himself "for the man lowest down" Gen. Dawes, one of the men higher up, declares his policies "the predominant issues in this campaign," trying to make of the La Follette platform, the basis for class war. The American people are blood-thirsty enough, without being embittered and without intensifying their class hatred, by a prospective high official of the government. A few more speeches like that delivered last Tuesday night, by Gen. Dawes and the Coolidge candidacy will be put to sleep politically for all time to come. MUSIC FORUM WHAT IS AMERICAN MUSIC, ANYHOW? "We have laid such stress upon the subject of American music that we have almost forgotten that national music is a matter of slow artistic growth rather than the outcome of a preconcerted endeavor. We might play "American" music at every concert, induce the managers to consider and perform "American" operas, and talk and play only "American"-made compositions, till doomsday, and be still be no nearer the goal of true American music. Merely being composed, published, and played in America, by American composers, printers, and performers will not make the music "American." Much, indeed, of the music so labeled is either a rehash of the classics, or of the modernist style of music, and contains nothing distinctive. Or, rushing to the other extreme, it is a revival of old Indian themes or of Negro slave songs, neither of which is truly American. American music, like the great American novel, is an elusive quantity, which recedes as one approaches. And why should we make such a point of Americanizing music anyway? Music is music, no matter where it is made. If we encourage the composers or our nation to develop the gift that is theirs—make it possible for them to get a heart—we may rest assured that we have done all that is possible for American music. We are such a conglomeration of various races that the music that should express us would have to be a heterogeneity of all styles and degrees. As things stand, with apologies to the "highbrows," the raptive ragtime is more nearly expressive of our racial tendencies than any other. To begin with, we lack the repose of the long established nations. The classic mode is too cool, too leisurely in feeling for a nation which is still enjoying an exuberant youth. A country must have deepfelt wounds to wring from it that cry of pain which is the starting point of national music. The long-past Revolution contributed nothing, for the reason that triumph is not the best song-master. Our oppressed Indians, and the like black slaves sang their life-and-death songs in our country; but they were not widespread enough, not sufficiently weight numerically to count nationally. The Civil War gave American music its first impetus, in the songs that marked the pang of brothers at odds. Out of the pain of that struggle, came songs as sincere as are all folk music, as sincere as any music must be to be considered national. And so, out of the late clash of passions and the grief of personal loss even with victory, may come still another impetus to the cherished idea of American music. But to force the matter will only delay it. A century is all too short for its growth. Meanwhile there will arise many counterfeit presentations of American music music which will express nothing more than individual caprice, or servile and feeble imitation of other people's music. But there is this to be said for the movement, when the representative American composer does come he will find an eager audience awaiting him, not the contemptuous cold shoulder of other days when no music without a foreign trade mark stood a chance of consideration." (E. van Haaven in 'the Etude). ORGAN TOUCH Organ playing requires an invariably firm, quick pressure on the keys By Wellington A. Adams and this in_all movements, slow or fast, loud or soft. This is especially important with the old tracker action, so that the valves will instantly open. The staccato of the piano does not exist for the organ. The organ staccato is made by the firm pressure above mentioned, followed instantly by the lifting of the fingers. It practically corresponds to the so-called slurred staccato of the piano. Organists get their preliminary studies on the piano or the cabinet rogan. From the former they come to the organ with a firm, decided touch; from the latter, with a weak nerveless touch. In this the piano has the advantage. A perfect organ legato is an essential, but the ordinary piano legato is not a legato on the organ, certainly not with the big pedal pipes. All organ pipes speak a trifle sluggishly, so that with many combinations there is a perceptible interval between the instant of the attack of fingers or feet upon the keys and of the tone reaching the ear. The experienced organist discounts this and secures a perfect legato effect. Thus we find, first, that while the touches of the piano and organ are and must be kept distinct, the piano student brings to the organ the sharp touch which is requisite, and second, that the organist brings to do the preliminary preparation of mangato which is essential in all "singing" passages; and we see that the study of each instrument helps the other if the player but uses his ears and his wits. Many concert organists really find it highly advantageous to do the preliminary preparation of manual parts at the piano; and, if they have a pedal attachment, of the pedal part as well, and yet run no risk of injury to their organ touch. THE VOCALIST Every one who sings well shows facility in three departments, viz.: Musicianship, the mastery of rhythm, intonation, intervals, scales, and modes. Vocalization, tone quality, compass, freedom, evenness of register, degrees of power, sostenuto—the various results of good tone production and breath management. Execution and Style, fluency, attack, legato, shading, accent, agility, proportion, contrasts, enunciation, manner. Music acceptable to good taste is dependent upon all three of these departments. From them Expression naturally develops. Many suppose voice culture to be the "alpha" and "omega" of the subject. In exceptional cases it may be all that requires prolonged attention; but the great majority of students need systematic work in the other departments in order to make voice culture of any value to them. The voice is an instrument by means of which the thought—the trained preceptions, the educated taste, the imagination—exemplifies the Art of Music the thought, therefore, requires most careful attention. It often happens that the voice of a beginner is clear and natural at the outset, and that its growth will be far more satisfactory if guided by thoughts of rhythm, key-relatoinship, and so forth, than if technical voice training be at once introduced. Some beginners in singing have acquired these fundamental principles of music unconsciously, and others have learned them through piano practice. But, however acquired, a familiar knowledge of scales, rhythms and common musical phrase is the only basis upon which voice culture and execution can be made properly effective. It takes time to form habits; with a beginner, all fundamental points should be introduced at or near the outset, so that nothing essential may be found lacking when, after the lapse of time, due results are looked for. Some points to select from in practicing song studies are: 1. Name the key and read the melody. 2. Sing syllables, beating time. 3. Vocalize with any or each of the vowels, or with one vowel, prefixing a constant. 4. Sing for exact pronunciation and vowel technic. 5. Sing for breathing technic. 6. Sing for phrasing (breath support and controlling the tone from the waist). 7. Sing with clear, resonant tone and with good pronunciation, keeping rigidity away from jaw, tongue, and lips as completely as possible. 8. Unify the tone in the normal, eccentric and concentric classification. 9. Sing it to meet any special need if there be such; as register intensity, without pressure and other certain details. 10. Lastly, sing it with the words, musically, keeping technical considerations in the background. A melody must be well within the vocal compass, the higher tones of voice are correct and facile only after much practice. Remember a method of singing is a bundle of habits in the three departments aboved described. In the best educational work for singing, one will see to it that the required habits of mind and body are started as early as practical and are patiently supervised until established.

NEW PUZZLES Homonyms Always QUESTION BOX THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, AUGUST 23, 1924 PAGE A HISTORY OF NEGRO SCHOOLS By R. R. Wright, Jr., Ph.D. As far back as 1841 a group of Negro ministers of the African Methodist Church of Ohio, laid plans to start "a manual labor school" for poor colored boys. In most of the large centers of the North long before the Civil War private schools were held by colored people for their own. Sarah Douglass taught for many years in Philadelphia and had a famous private school. In fact in places where prejudice kept colored children out of the public schools, the colored teacher took much of the burden of education of their race in their own private schools. Even in the South this was done in spots. One of the most famous of the Negro private school teachers was Daniel A. Payne, afterwards Bishop in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. He operated a school in Charleston for many years, and is said to have had some white pupils. He was expelled from the state because of the law passed in the early thirties prohibiting Negroes from teaching school. This same Daniel A. Payne, however, was one of the founders of Wilberforce University in 1856, and when the white people had abandoned the work, he, as he said, without a dollar but only on faith, contracted to purchase the Wilberforce site "in the name of the Negro race and the A.M. E. Church." This today is the oldest institution of the New World owned and operated by Negroes. It has a plant worth more than a million dollars; has about a thousand students, and stands second among all the colored colleges of the country in number of students and the value of its equipment. The Negro church took the lead in educational self help as in religious improvements. All over the country, Baptists, Methodists, and others have vied with their white brethren in doing something for the education of their race. tion of 99 Have you a buddy? 99 AWAY UP IN THE SWING The Afri 1863 it versity in The first in the field was the African Methodist Church. In 1863 it took over Wilberforce University in Ohio. This was before the Civil War was over, and before Negroes were really liberated. That same year it started church organizations in Georgia and South Carolina, and private schools soon sprang up. Wherever a church was started, soon thereafter a school was opened. Hundreds of these schools were scattered over the South and many bright young men and women who had been educated in the North were imported to teach these schools. In 1880 as attempt was made to establish the first college at Columbia, S.C. It was named Allen University in honor of Richard Allen, the first Bishop of the African Methodist Church. It came as a protest of the colored people of South Carolina to the closing of South Carolina University against colored people. In 1884 Morris Brown University was started in Atlanta, Ga., named also for one of the Bishops of the African Methodist Church. In 1883 Edward Waters College was started in Jacksonville, Fla. In 1886 Kittrell College started in North Carolina. In 1877 Western University at Quindaro, Kans., was started first as a Presbyterian school, and later purchased and taken over by the African Methodist Church. In 1886 Shorter College at Little Rock, Ark., was started. In 1889 Payne University in Selma, Ala., was started. In 1881 Paul Quinn College was organized at Waco, Texas. In 1887 Campbell College at Jackson, Miss., was started. In 1890 Lampton College was organized at Delhi, La., un- WHO IS YOUR BUDDY?

In 1885 Turner College was organized at Shelbyville, Tenn., and in 1917 Flipper Key Davis College was started at Tullahassee, Okla. These are the leading schools operated by the African Methodist denomination in the United States, though besides these are several smaller institutions, such as Payne Institute, Central Park Industrial School, Flagler High School, etc. This denomination also maintains foreign mission schools in Haiti, Barbados, British Guiana, Dutch Guiana, Sierra Leone, Liberia and South Africa. In fact the largest school on the West Coast of Africa is operated by the African Methodist Church. Allen University for a number of years, has had some of its best students in Boston University,Harvard, Columbia and other institutions. During three consecutive years some one from this school has taken a degree from one of the above named institutions. It is sometimes said that the schools run by colored people would be left to deteriorate. As an indication of the quality of the faculties of these schools it might be stated that Wilberforce University has the only Negro Doctor of Philosophy from a German university as its president, Dr. Gilbert H. Jones, while on its faculty are graduates from Brown, Harvard, Columbia, Oberlin, Chicago, Ohio State Universities and other universities, and persons who have studied in Europe. Allen University has for its president, Dr. D. H. Sims, a graduate from Yale, Oberlin Divinity School, University of Chicago and also from the Georgia State College; and other members of the faculty from other corresponding schools. Morris Brown University has for its president Dr John H. Lewis, a graduate of Yale and Chicago University. How do you like to go up in a swing? Up in the air so blue?

HEROLIN MEDICINE CO Atkmta, Georgia Washingtonians Crowd Beach at Atlantic City (Horace Blitz; Resort Correspondent) (Horace Blitz, Resort Correspondent) Atlantic City, N.J. In direct contrast to the hot wave that caused thousands to flock to the resort last week is the cool wave that seems to have hit the coast during the past few days. With a temperature prevailing that bespeaks more of fur coats than bathing suits, the resort is experiencing a touch of freak weather, but the people in general are none the worse for the change which appears to be to the good, as far as comfort is concerned. Boardwalk crowds continue as ever and bathing, in spite of the chilly air, is excellent with many prominent members of the Capital colored population being noticed in the city. Dr. Gilbert Brown, president of the Central Chiropractic School, of Washington, D.C., and Dr. Edward B. Henderson, athletic director, also of Washington, were recent visitors to the shore. Dr. Henderson is well known in the collegiate athletic world and has for many years been one of the officials of the great Howard-Lincoln football classic. Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Jackson, of Washington, D.C., were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Richard H. Locke, of 536 N. Illinois Ave. D. D. Fauntroy, brother of Mrs. Locke, and well known in the Capital as a successful upholsterer, was also visiting the resort. The Reverend Emory B. Smith, financial secretary of Howard University, Washington, D. C., visited the shore recently on business relative to the endowment of the school. With the purpose in mind of continuing the "class A" standing of the Medical School of the Howard University with American medical authorities, the drive for the raising of $50,000 in cash before November 1, has been officially opened in the Northside of Atlantic City. Responding to the clarion call sent out by Dr. Emmett Scott, secretary-treasurer of the worthy colored institution, "Shall we continue to graduate physicians eligible to practice in any state, with the ability to conduct hospitals of the highest type and fully capable of coping with disease as a safe-guard to the health of the race and community?" several thousand dollars have been pledged by graduates and friends of the institution residing in the resort following solicitation made by a committee headed by Dr. A. A. Alleyne. Sampson-Saunders Nuptial On Sunday, August 17th, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas J. Sampson of 426 West Biddle Street, Baltimore, Md., gave in marriage their daughter, Alma Corinne, to Mr. Brooks T. Saunders, of New York City. The wedding was solemnized by the Reverend William H. Dean, pastor of Sharp Street Memorial Church. The bride was tastefully attired in an imported gown of beaded apricot geogette, gold slippers, and a transparent hat of neapolitan straw and gold lace. She carried a bouquet of bride's roses. The wedding march was played by Miss Carrie May Smith, who also rendered a vocal selection. Supper was served by Waters. The couple left immediately for Charlotte, N.C., the home of the groom.
