RIGHT TO VOTE IN THE SOUTH NOW UP TO SUPREME COURT FOOTBALL PLAYER DIES FROM INJURY RECEIVED IN GAME First in Local Circulation. RIGHT TO FOOTBAL HaywoodJohnson Fractures Spine, Dies Later The funeral services for Haywood McPherson Johnson, who sustained injuries in the Howard-A. and T. football game last Friday which resulted in his death at Freedmen's Hospital, Monday at 11 o'clock, were held in Rankin Memorial Chapel at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon. Johnson was injured in the first half of the game when he rushed down the field to make a tackle after a Howard back had punted. He succeeded in bringing down his man, but in so doing was either accidently struck in the head by his opponent's knee or in going down, the weight and force of the ball-carrier caused a broken vertebra which paralyzed his entire body. The deceased was the only son of Thomas A. and Lovinia Haywood Johnson and is also survived by a younger sister. He was born in this city, May 8, 1904, and attended the local public schools, graduating from the Dunbar High School, June, 1920. He entered Howard University in the fall of 1920, and graduated from the college department of that institution, June, 1924. A few days before the fatal accident he matriculated in the Howard Medical School.

Bishop Gregg was formerly president of Wilberforce University. He was elevated to the Bishopric at the last General Conference held in Louisville, Ky., this spring. Bishop Gregg was here in the interest of a trip to Africa, getting passports and other state matters straightened out. He has been assigned to the South African Conferences, which were formerly presided over by Bishop Vernon. He will leave for his new field Saturday, October 18th, sailing from New York City.

MORTON SPEAKS WITH DAVIS & SMITH New York, N.Y.—Civil Service Commissioner Ferdinand Q. Morton was one of the principal speakers at the big ratification meeting held Thursday evening, October 2, 2 at Madison Square Garden, with John W. Davis, Gov. Alfred E. Smith, Mayor John F. Hylan and others of political prominence. Commissioner Morton, who was introduced by District Attorney Banton as an example of what equal opportunity affords all citizens in this country, received a big ovation and was applauded throughout his speech. In part he said: "A nation cannot do wrong, any more than an individual without paying the penalty for its transgression. Today our nation is still paying the penalty of slavery. For the greater part of sixty years since slavery the dominant political party in America has been a party without a conscience—a party which has not been responsive to the moral sense of the nation. . . . "The fact that the National Republican Party in convention assembled, refused to discuss a subject which now greatly agitates the public mind was not surprising nor accidental. Deplorable as it is, it is nevertheless neither surprising nor accidental that every patriotic American has given utterance to his views on the subject of the Ku Klux Klan—every patriotic American except the Republican President of the United States. "False in one thing—false in all things.' Just as the Republican Party has been false to the nation—so has it been false to that devoted group which has kept the Republican Party in control of the government. But this condition of affairs, sir, will no longer endure. It will be brought to an end by the Negro. At this crisis in our nation's history, we purpose to act as we have acted at every crisis in her history from Bunker Hill to the Argonne. "We purpose to do our full duty by America. We purpose again to demonstrate that we are America's finest citizens. Enjoying, only in part the rights of Americans, we shall again give ourselves wholly and unselfishly to the service of our country. For in supporting the Democratic Party we shall do so with full knowledge of the fact that in the section of this country where our rights are most flagrantly denied us the local governments are controlled by the Democratic Party. But we intend at the coming election to support that party. Like other patriotic Americans we realize that whatever its WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1924 Atty. R. D. Evans of Texas Asks Court to Enjoin White Man's Primary Atty. R. D. Evans of Texas Asks Court to Enjoin White Man's Primary A case attacking the legality of the white Democratic primary system, by which the Negro is effectively disfranchised in southern states, was argued in the Supreme Court of the United States last Monday for the plaintiffs in error by Attorney R. D. Evans, of Waco, Texas. Significance This case is of greater significance to the Negro than any since the Oklahoma cases on the constitutionality of the grandfather clause. It involves the right of a qualified colored elector to participate in any legal primary election. The question presented for decision is, can the State Legislature of Texas, or the practice of election judges and party committees under a state statute be upheld in disfranchising Negroes otherwise qualified to vote and at the same time give suffrage to other races possessing the same qualifications? The answer of the Supreme Court to this question will settle this issue not only for the colored voters of Texas but of the United States as well. It is pointed out in the brief filed with the Supreme Court that if one state can legally bar them from voting in a statutory primary election on account of their race in the face of the Fifteenth Amendment, any other state and all political parties can do likewise, and the time can and will come when the Negro will be as completely disfranchised as if that right were not guaranteed by the Federal Constitution. The case grew out of a rule promulgated by the city executive committee of Houston, Texas, that only white voters would be allowed to participate in the city primary election on February 9, 1921, for the nomination of city officials. In Texas and all other southern states, under the white Democratic primary system, nomination is equivalent to election. C. N. Love, W. L. Davis, J. B. Grigsby, William Nickerson, J., Newman Dudley, Jr., and Perry Mack applied to the court for an injunction to restrain the city Democratic executive committee and the election judges from holding a strictly white voters' primary and to compel them to permit them and their race to vote in the primary. Upon a hearing this suit was dismissed. The court held that the question of voting under the primary election statutes was a political and not a legal one and that it was without jurisdiction to interfere with the action of the executive committee. The plaintiffs appealed to the first court of Civil Appeals at Galveston, Texas. This court also dismissed the suit. In a written opinion, it held that equity of the bill had failed. Plaintiffs filed a motion for rehearing. It was denied. They then sued out a writ of error to the Supreme Court of Texas. This court dismissed the case for want of jurisdiction, but refused faults, there yet lies in the Democratic Party the hope of the nation. The Negro still has faith in his fellow-countrymen; and in the performance at this election of his duty to his country, he will be inspired by the hope that the time is at hand when America will accord to him that which he in full measure deserves—the enjoyment of every single right and privilege enjoyed by other Americans. He will be inspired by the hope that his patriotic devotion to his country will, like a beacon light, lead America forever out of the dark shadows of the heritage of human slavery." to write an opinion. Inasmuch as the Court of Civil Appeals was the last court to write an opinion, the case was brought from that court to the Supreme Court of the United States on a writ of error. Three specifications of error are set forth in the brief. They are, first, that the Court of Civil Appeals erred in dismissing the case because the election had passed for the reason that the bill was filed in the trial court in time; second, that it erred in refusing to retain the case and adjudicate the questions of law raised, and, third, that it erred in not holding that the plaintiffs had the right to vote in the primary election for the reason that it had been previously held that a primary election in Texas is to all intents and purposes the sam cas any other statutory election. The plaintiffs also allege an abridgement of their constitutional right to vote. In arguing the case before the Supreme Court, Attorney Evans directed attention to the far reaching influence of the questions presented upon the rights of colored people as protected by the Fifteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution. He said: "By this species of legislation the southern states have completely eliminated the Negro vote and influence in state, county and city government, notwithstanding their great property interest, education and general welfare. This very thing keeps the South solidly Democratic and it will remain so, as long as this kind of disfranchisement is allowed to go on. It will change when the ballot is placed in every citizen's hand, and this section will then go forward in development as never before. This is the election that settles everything, the general election oeing now a mere ratification of what the primary election did. "Further than this, it strikes at the vitals of the well being of Negroes in all the Nation, for if one state can pass, construe, and enforce such laws, and be within the purview of the Fifteenth Amendment, any other state can do likewise, and in time the question can be nationwide." Attorney Evans was very closely questioned regarding the Texas statutes and the rules governing the white Democratic primaries by Chief Justice Taft and Associate Justices Holmes, Day and Brandeis. Attorney Eyans, who prepared and argued the case, is a graduate of the class of 1912 of the Howard University law school. He was admitted to the Texas bar November 11, 1912. In 1916 he was admitted to practice in the Federal Courts of Texas. In April of the same year he was admitted to Supreme Court of the United States upon motion of Judge Robert H. Terrell. Attorney Evans told a Tribune reporter that this fight for the ballot in the South is being waged by a small handful of men in Texas. So far, no fraternal, social or religious organization has volunteered any financial help. He stated he had to go on the public platform to raise the necessary funds to appeal the case to the United States Supreme Court. He said he was determined to continue this fight until the courts give him a direct verdict.

Says Negro Is Not Citizen in Suit Atta Fourteenth Amend Says Negro Is Not U. S. Citizen in Suit Attacking Fourteenth Amendment New Orleans, La., Oct. 7—A suit attacking the validity of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution was filed in the United States District Court here yesterday in the form of a petition for an injunction restraining Walter Lr. Cohen, comproller of customs at the port of New Orleans, from exercising the duties of that office. Not a Citizen This action is based on the ground that Mr. Cohen is not and never has been a citizen of the United States, "but in truth and in fact is, 'A person of African blood and descent,' and is inherently incapable of being a citizen of the United States." The petition alleges that the Fourteenth Amendment is not a part of the Constitution and is invalid and of no effect, for that: (a) The said Article 14 was never legally proposed by two-thirds of both houses of Congress. (b) It was never legally nor constitutionally ratified by three-fourths of the several states of the United States. (3) That eleven states of the Union were, at the time of the adoption of the resolution culminating in the alleged Article 14 of the amendutionally and illegally deprived of ment to the Constiutition, unconsti their equal suffrage in the Senate. (d) That six states of the Union were by coercion forced to ratify the alleged said Article 14. (e) That Congress, did, without power or authority, unlawfully declare said amendment to the Constitution adopted and a part of the Constitution. Conspiracy Charged The petition further charges that in 1866 several members of the Senate and House of Representatives "did conspire and connive to throw the principles of self government, and to make an immense alteration of the fundamental laws of the nation, and did, in their effort to --- Not a Citizen Office: 920 U St., N.W.

S. it Attacking Amendment gain power and override any objection to their desires, adopt a resolution in Congress, in violation of the Constitution, forbidding Senators and Representatives from eleven states of the Union to be admitted into either branch of Congress, thereby depriving these said eleven states of equal suffrage in the Senate; and immediately thereupon under the disguise of authority, these several conspirators passed the acts of Congress known as the 'Reconstruction act,' by virtue of which eleven sovereign states of the United States were placed under military control and their citizens wholly deprived of the sacred right of suffrage; and for the respective legislatures of these states situationally organized and without legal authority." The petition states that while these conditions obtained, these conspirators passed a resolution in both Houses purporting to amend the Constitution of the United States. Said resolution, the petition says, "was passed by the House of Representatives, a body of 240, on May 1, 1886, by a vote of 128 yeas, and by the Senate, a body of seventy-four, on June 8, 1886, by a vote of 33 yeas." The petition also charges that the legislatures in the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, North Carolina and South Carolina ratified the amendment illegally under a resolution of coercion illegally passed by Congress, to ratify the amendment to be re-admitted to representation in the Senate and House of Representatives. It also alleges that the States of New Jersey, Ohio and Oregon after first ratifying the amendment adopted resolutions rejecting it, but that despite this the Secretary of State promulgated the amendment as ratified altho less than the required number of states had ratified it.

HURST COMES OUT FOR PROGRESSIVES In a ringing statement made public today in which he declares that Calvni Coolidge is the only one of the three candidates who has refused to open his lips on the subject of the Klan and denounces both Republican and Democratic parties, Bishop John Hurst of the Methodist Episcopal Church, one of our outstanding clergymen, urges that all Negroes support the La Follette-Wheeler Independent Progressive candidacy. Bishop Hurst was at one time superintendent of the Methodist Episcopal Missions in Haiti. He served as pastor of various Baltimore churches and was made Bishop in 1912. He is also Chancellor of Edward Waters College in Jacksonville, Florida, a member of the Board of Directors of Payne Theological Seminary, a trustee of Wilberforce University, a director of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, a member of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, and a Mason. His statement in full follows. "I am unreservedly for the Progressive candidacy of Senator La Follette and Senator Wheeler for President and Vice President of the United States. "It must be unmistakably plain to every colored American that there can be no hope for him politically, economically or spiritually under either the Repubblican or Democratic parties. "The Democratic party has long been the party of the Ku Klux Klan, the party of Jim Crow, disfranchisement and lynching. The Klan was founded in the South half a century ago and was revived in the South ten years ago. "Whatever Mr. Davis, the Democratic candidate, may state as to his personal position on the Klan, no colored man will miaigne for a moment that he can in any sense wipe out or offset his party's record. "As for the Republican party, sixty years ago the party of Abraham Lincoln, it has now been taken over bodily by the Klan in the North. It is openly the Klan party in at least a dozen Northern states. Alone among the three candidates Mr. Coolidge has refused to open his lips on the subject of the Klan. The best that we have been able to get from the White House, despite repeated requests not only by colored men of prominence but by other Americans who rightly object to the Klan on the ground of its fundamental un-Americanism, is a brief statement from the lily-white C. Bascom Slemp, Mr. Coolidge's secretary, to the effect that Mr. Coolidge is not a Klausman. How gratifying to learn that Coolidge does not put on a nightshirt and a pillow case and join the riders after supper. "LaFollette, on the other hand, is the only candidate who has come out vigorously against the Klan in words that no one can mistake. His entire career shows that he regards all Americans as equal, without regard for race or color. But even had he been totally silent, it would be folly at this time for colored Americans not to take advantage of the glorious opportunity furnished by the birth of this new pary not to ally themselves with it and show the Republican party that there is a limit to the endurance and to the patience of the colored American citizens. "The colored people of America have been loyal and faithful to the Republican party for half a century. In return, they have received nothing but broken promises.

Our t Manager BISHOP HURST COMES OUT FOR PROGRESSIVES (Continued from page one.) can party has deliberately taken advantage of the existing situation by which it knew that the Negro could not turn to the Democratic party to get justice. "With the largest majority in Congress since the days of reconstruction, the Republicans allowed a handful of Southerners to filibuster the anti-lynching bill to death, and yet the Republican platform has the impudence and hypocrisy again to come out and urge the anti-lynching bill. "The Democrats under Woodrow Wilson overthrew by force of arms the independent Republic of Haiti, the Negro republic in the Caribbean, which, under Toussaint L' Overture, achieved its independence in 1804, thus making it next to our own the second oldest republic in this hemisphere. In the course of this infamous conquest three thousand Haitians innocent of any crime but that of being colored, and including women and children, were killed. Mr. Harding made a solemn pre-election promise to right this wrong, but the Republicans have only fastened the snackles more tightly upon that inoffensive little country. "The Progressives are pledged to the withdrawal of our occupation from Haiti. Mr. LaFollette fought vigorously against this infamous crime. In every way and from every standpoint the Progressive movement opens the door of hope to the colored Americans as at no time in a generation." SAYS NEGRO IS NOT U. S. CITIZEN 1 suing of an injunction restraining Mr. Cohen from serving further as comptroller of customs and from drawing a salary for that office. The suit was filed in the name of Edwin H. Bolte, who claims that he is a resident of Washington. The opinion of lawyers, who are close students of constitutional questions, is that this suit is absolutely futile. Esmond Phepls, local attorney who has made a study of federal law, made the following comment which seems to be the prevalent attitude of other attorneys regarding this suit: "The idea that the Supreme Court will set aside something that has been in effect for nearly sixty years, no matter how correct the contention is, appears far-fetched. While I have not seen the petition, I can't see the bringing of it to be anything but a joke, for there is no chance to set aside the amendment. Theoretically, the suit may be correct, but practically, it hasn't a ghost of a show." H. E. Bolte, who is said to have filed the suit attacking the validity of the Fourteenth Amendment, has had a somewhat checkered career here. He was disbarred from practicing law in the District of Columbia on May 6, last on the grounds that he had misrepresented himself when applying for admission to the local bar. He had practiced here approximately two years before his disbarment. HAMPTON GETS BROOKS'S LIBRARY HAMPTON GETS BROOKS'S LIBRARY The recent gift to the Hampton Institute Library of the valuable collection of books left by the late Dr. Phil Broome-Brooks of this city is not only the largest in the Library's histroy, but of great importance, coming as it does when the increased demands of the college courses make accessions necessary. Dr. Brooks had for many years been gathering, with good taste and great discrimination, a library of general literature numbering over 11,000 volumes, many of which were richly and handsomely bound. It seemed most desirable to acquire this for Hampton, and through the generosity of Mr. George Foster Peabody of the Board of Trustees it was purchased from the Palmer Fund. The collection is strong in English in music, and in folklore, and contains many valuable sets of reCalvin Collidge is the only one of the Yale Chronicles of America, Monroe's Cyclopedia of Education, and the Encyclopedia Americana. Its most important feature, however, is the large group of books on the Negro, over two hundred of which are by Negro authors. Many are autographed, and some rare documents and manuscripts of antislavery days are included. Columbia, S.

LINCOLN CONGREGATIONAL TEMPLE At Lincoln Congregational Temple Sunday morning Rev. R. W. Brooks will speak from the subject, "Do We Believe in the Christ?" This is a questioning age. No subject is too sacred to be investigated by thought. The Bible is being investigated, and there is a great divergence of opinion. The person of Jesus is also being questioned. A cordial invitation is extended to everyone who desires to hear a frank and unbiased opinion. College and theological students are especially invited. There will be special music by the choir at the morning service. Y. W. C. A. NOTES The Setting-up Conference that is to be held at the Phyllis Wheatley, October 17th to 20th will stimulate a better knowledge of the true meaning of the Young Women's Christian Association, and will lay greater stress upon the spiritual phase of the program. Stewardship, leadership, organization, membership, interpretation of girls' work movement and the industrial and business girl will be topics of discussion. The opening meeting will be on October 17th at 7:30 p.m. On Saturday at 3:30 p.m. will be the Girl Reserve meeting and at the Vespers on Sunday at 4 p.m. there will be a Candle Service. Instead of the regular October quarterly meeting on Monday at 7:30 p.m. there will be the closing meeting of the Conference, at which beside other speakers, reports will be made by delegates who attended the conference at Cheyney, Nepahwin and Silver Bay. The first board of directors meeting for this season was on Monday evening at which time a tribute was paid to the memory of Mrs. Myrtle A. Chiles who was a faithful member of the board. Miss Edith Fleetwood who has been made chairman of the Girls' Work was at this meeting and made her first report.

"These are all I have used and all any woman needs; these and the determination to put her beauty first and to let nothing interfere with her daily applications of Exelento Skin Beautifier, Exelento Skin Soap and Exelento Quinine Pomade." this from Madam Rumor's word.

He was a member of the Phi Beta Sigma fraternity and was an exceptional student in the class room. Game With St. Paul Saturday Cancelled St. Paul laments the death of Haywood Johnson who died as the result of an injury received while playing football at Howard University on October 3. A gloom was cast over the faculty and students of St. Paul when the sad news was read at evening prayers on Monday the 6th. Football was forgotten, and that great spirit of rivalry between Howard University and St. Paul School was relegated to the things of the past as six hundred voices joined in "Amen" at the end of the prayer offered by Rev. J. Alvin Russell, vice-principal, for the bereaved family. Mr. Russell's words of regret and sympathy were keenly felt, particularly by the members of the "Wonder Team" who knew the caliber of the late "Speed" Johnson, out of whose respect the biggest game on the C. I. A. A. October 11th calendar was cancelled. Mr. Watson's and Mr. Whitehead's telegrams are as follows: "Washington, D. C. 4:41 p.m., "Oct. 6, 1924. "J. L. Whitehead, St. Paul School, Lawrenceville, Va. "Cancel game for Saturday. Johnson, Howard's end, died of injuries sustained in last game. "L. L. WATSON," "Lawrenceville, Va., 6:30 p.m., "Oct. 6, 1924. "L. L. Watson, Howard University, Washington, D.C. "St. Paul is greatly shocked at the sad news of the death of Johnson. The family, Howard University and the football squad have our deepest sympathy. "J. L. WHITEHEAD." Shaw Seeks To Regain Former Grid Place The present program of athletics at Shaw is encouraging. The determination to raise the Department of Physical Education to the high plane of the other departments of the University, rekindles hopes and spirit that once were great assets to the University when the various teams representing Shaw were respected and feared in any contest. Shaw teams are to be as sterling and as formidable as once they were in the days of McGriff, McBeth, Sam Jones, Lightner, Joe Brown, Wilkerson and others. Clever Coach In Martin Probably no better man could bring this about than Coach H. D. Martin, formerly of Virginia Union University. While at Union, Coach Martin brought fame both to himself and to that University by twice winning the C. I. A. A. championship, the latter of which was won in 1924 over the best organized teams the C. I. A. A. has known. Coach Martin comes fully prepared for the arduous task before him at Shaw, for he meets a situation not unlike others which he has successfully handled. A one time New England Star with a remarkable background of football experience, he should with the more than thirty new faces reporting for training, make an even higher record at Shaw. The students, Alumni, and friends are not looking for a championship this year but they are expecting to be far from the cellar in C. I. A. A. activities. Dr. Plummer Active The strenuous season calls for games with Union at Richmond, Hampton at Hampton, Lincoln at Philadelphia, Virginia Normal at Raleigh, and S. C. State at Raleigh as the outstanding lights in the present schedule. One of the forces behind this program is the tireless worker, Dr. J. O. Plummer who was elected by acclamation as Graduate Manager of Athletics, at the annual meeting in June. His position and influence have combined the support of the authorities at the University and the Alumni Association in this program. RESULTS OF THE WEEK Editor's Note—Due to the shortage of space the Tribune Sports Department has been forced to cut out a number of write-ups of football games played last Saturday.

Strong basketball "fives" are being organized to compete for honors in the two leagues which will be fostered by the physical department. In addition to the local games, several out of town teams will be seen in action at the "Y" this year. Each of these games will attract a great deal of interest. Mr. Simmons, "Y" physical director, will be available for consultation by those desiring to register in the different classes of the physical department each day between the hours of three and ten p.m. In addition to basketball, classes are being organized in volleyball, calisthenics, indoor baseball, boxing and wrestling. Special team athletic membership rates are now available. QUICK STEPS CLOSE SEASON The Arlington Va., Quick Steps baseball team have closed a very successful season.

College fought four quarters on the local university campus, Friday, October 3, to a scoreless tie. The Tarheelers' only chance to score was lost when Coleman with a clear field, muffed a forward pass thrown by Blackman, while the Howardites on two occasions reached the visitors' five-yard line and time and again advanced to the 25-yard line. A penalty and a fumble ruined Howard's two best chances to score. Payne, the former New England High player, who put up a creditable game at quarterback, three times failed at attempted field goals, two of which missed by a few feet. A. and T. presented an experienced and well-polished machine. Howard has a mighty line and while the backfield lacks the power of those that have represented the University the past four years, the speed of the quartet will certainly cause plenty of trouble for opposing elevens this year.

WINS FROM MANASSAS'S SCHOOL Alexandria, Va., Oct. 10—The Roamer Athletic Club's football team of this city journeyed to Manassas, Va., last Saturday and played a jum-p game with the Manassas Industrial Institute team. The Roamers were victors, 7-6. Features of the game were the defensive playing of Theodore ("Ap") Stilliards and the offensive playing of Walker, Johnson and Robinson for the Roamers. Waddell, left end for Manassas was easily the losers' star. Manassas's schedule this year consists of ten games, all of which will be school teams. The Roamers are the only independent players who will oppose Manassas this year. Saturday Manassas will play Shaw Junior High School of Washington, D.C. HOWARD THEATRE Presents "THE GIRL FROM PHILLY" —Big Musical Revue— With HELEN JOHNSON—ALTO OATS & CAST --- By H. Scott, Tribune Sports Editor THE PASSING OF A GREAT ATHLETE The untimely death of Haywood ("Speed") Johnson is mourned by loyal athletic lovers everywhere. It is truly sad to think that Johnson met his death at play, indulging in the college's greatest sport—football. The untimely death of Haywood ("athletic lovers everywhere.

Hilldale Goes West W Just as the coroner's jury decided, it was one of those unfortunate, unavoidable accidents that occur in every walk of life, whether at play, work or rest. The game played by the two elevens was as clean as any ever witnessed. Both teams were completely equipped in pads and protectors. Johnson was wrapped up in football all even unto the end. No better recommendation for the game could be found. Those who were in the sick room at the hospital tell of the youngster's dream of football, and how when he awoke he remarked that he was "giving the boys a lecture." His last message to members of the football team was for them to "win every game." Dr. Morrison, Howard's head coach, was constantly at the deceased's bedside, night and day. No one is more deeply touched than Coach Morrison who has carefully nursed Johnson's development and expected him to reach the zenith of his power on the gridiron this fall. "Speed" has tackled his last man and caught his last ball in this life but he leaves behind this record, that winning or losing, he always "played the game." Hilldale Goes West With One Game Lead The resumption of the Colored world series in the West today, finds the Philadelphia Hildale club of the Eastern Colored League with a onegame advantage over the Kansas City Monarchs of the Negro National League. The excellent condition of the Eastern pitchers has caused Bolden's aggregation to be made a heavy favorite in the betting. The attendance in the East was remarkable and it is predicted that the Western fans will outnumber the East. Between 8,000 and 9,000 were present at Hildale park. Saturday. Opening day at the same park drew nearly 6,000 while Sunday in Baltimore over 6,000 were present. The officiating has been excellent, while the brand of baseball displayed has been thrilling and true league standard.

When asked about the alleged split of the owners, Manager Taylor denied that there was any disagreement and stated that he withdrew in order to allow President Robinson to dispose of the club fi he so desired. Taylor said that he has been dickering with local men in an effort to buy out the club. However, he has no definite plans for the future. The club was founded and managed my Mr. Taylor in 1923. Last year as an independent aggregation, it ranked with the best clubs in the East. The club received its name through a contest conducted by the Tribune. Early this year announcement was made that Mr. Robinson, who is manager of the Roadside Hotel, Philadelphia, had purchased half interest in the club.

Upwards of 50 entries in the men's events have already been received, and about 25 ladies have entered the women's matches. There is also a mixed event, which is attracting considerable attention. Numerous prizes and trophies have been donated to the Tournament by the leading colored business organizations of the Country. The National Benefit Life Insurance Company of Washington has donated a wonderful cup which will go to the winner of the men's match play for one year. The cup will become the permanent property of the individual who wins it three times. This trophy was made possible through the generosity of Mr. S. W. Rutherford and his son, Mr. R. H. Rutherford, Secretary and President of the Company. From Columbus, Ohio, comes a trophy for the ladies' match play, the gift of the Supreme Life and Casualty Company. Mr. Williams Stevenson, the local representative of the company, has shown a keen and consistent interest in the development of the game. The trophies for the mixed event have come all the way from Durham, the gift of the North Carolina Mutual, acting through its president, Mr. C. C. Spaulding. Mr. Charles E.

Edwin Bolte, in his attempt to oust Walter Cohen, as collector of customs at New Orleans, the subject of "white supremacy" is brought prominently into the discussion. The suit to restrain Mr. Cohen from holding office is sought on the grounds that "he is a person of African blood and descent and is inherently incapable of being a citizen of the United States." This is a new line of attack of the Ku Klux Klan for "white supremacy." Bolte is alleged to be a Klansman, who formerly lived here and later in Atlanta, Ga. "Enough Said." The words of Abraham Lincoln fit in well here. He said: "This country with its institutions belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or THEIR REVOLUTIONARY RIGHT to dismember or overthrow it." If a man were to utter those words today he would be called a "Red." However, they were uttered by Lincoln, more than sixty years ago. The Negroes are more one hundred per cent Americans than are 90 per cent of the white population of this country. They "inhabit it" and therefore the "institutions" of the country belong to them as much as to any one else. Lincoln said the people "can exercise their right of constitutional amendment" which they did in adopting the 14th Amendment. Therefore, the charge that any one of "African blood and descent is inherently incapable of being a citizen of the United States" amounts to so many words. It is only a subterfuge of the Ku Klux Klan to attack both the Negro and his constitutional rights. And the President and the Republican party are hand in glove with the Klan. If the Klan can put this charge across, it will relieve President Coolidge and the Republican party, from responsibility for the enforcement of the 14th Amendment, which thousands of Negroes are demanding. The Klan is determined to bring about "white supremacy" in this country if possible. But are the officers and personnel of the Klan capable of ruling a country wherein "white supremacy" would reign? Judging from the terms they apply to their various officers and the way the officers conclude their letters, we should say not. The following is the opening salutation of a letter written by N. C. Jewett, Grand Dragon of Oklahoma, a big Republican of that state: "To All Hydras, Great Titans, Giants, Exalted Cyclops, Terrors, and all Klansmen Realm of Oklahoma." The letter recites the excommunication of one, Wash Hudson. It closes thus: "Done in the Executive Chamber, of the Grand Dragon, Realm of Oklahoma, on the Doleful Day, of the Wonderful Week, of the Horrible Month of the Year of Our Klan, LVIII." That is the official language of the national organization that would force and maintain "white supremacy" in America. And the fact that the Republicans of Maine, New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma have candidates nominated and supported openly by the Klan gives strength to the thought that the Republicans are co-operating with the Klan for "white supremacy" and attacking the 14th Amendment to get from under the responsibility of enforcing it. O'LEARY'S LOGIC It was a very poor showing the Republicans made at their rally held at the Dunbar High School last week. The speeches were practically a rehashing of the balderdash which the Republicans dish out each campaign. However, one speaker was billed to tell why President Coolidge had not denounced the Klan. That speaker was none other than Assistant District Attorney O'Leary. After monologuing for forty-five minutes, he finally got around to the Klan. He said that the reason that John W. Davis denounced the Klan at Sea Girt, was because his "board of strategy" told him he would gain more votes in New Jersey if he would come out and denounce the Klan by name. Then he said the reason Senator La Follette denounced the Klan was because his "board of strategy" told him he would cut into the Republican party if he would denounce the Klan. But he has not yet told in satisfactory terms why President Coolidge has failed to denounce the Klan. He might have gone on to the natural conclusion of his logic and said that the reason the President has failed to denounce the Klan is because his "board of strategy" told him that the Republicans have so many candidates nominated and supported by the Klan, that he could not denounce the Klan without denouncing Senator Jim Watson of Indiana and hundreds of other Republicans, which would practically be denouncing the Republican party. ATTACK ON THE 14th AMENDMENT IS NOT FIRST ATTACK ON AMENDMENTS GRANTING NEGROES THEIR RIGHTS The news published in the morning papers of Monday, October 6th, over a new Orleans date line, that a suit attacking the validity of the Fourteenth Amendment from a new angle, will be filed in the Federal District Court in the form of a petition seeking to enjoin Walter L. Cohen, Negro Controller of Customs of the Port of New Orleans, from exercising the duties of that office, would seem to be of little or no importance, if there were not a question of race involved in the suit. At first blush the proposition involved in such a suit looks like an absurdity, consisting in this: the creature is asked to destroy the creator; the agent is asked to declare invalid the power by which he exercises his agency; childhood is asked to invalidate parenthood; the branch, the tree; the vine the husbandman. Something of Interest By I. L. PARKER The last summary of the Presidential poll of "The Literary Digest" shows little change in the drift indicated by earlier summaries. Up to and including September 20, 689,019 voters had had their say. Eighteen states had reported including New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey in the Eastern tier; West Virginia in the border group; Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, and Wisconsin in the Woolly West; Texas and Virginia in Dixie; California, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oregon, and Washington beyond the Mississippi. A. E. It is interesting to note what these states show in their respective sections, because these give us an idea of what to expect of others. The Digest's poll comes near accomplishing its purpose of ascertaining the national attitude toward presidential candidates even though it may also illustrate regional conditions. We see no broad conclusion standing out, un- (I. L. Parker) less it is that Coolidge is not quite running up to the Harding vote of 1920. About twenty per cent of those responding to The Digest's questionnaire this year did not vote four years ago. We note that the Harding voters and the Cox voters have shifted and that new voters have split up. If we drop out 137,306 who voted in 1920 and admit many newcomers into this year's referendum, we find that the Republican total has varied—402,186 for Harding, 397,522 for Coolidge. There is a decrease in the Democratic total from 141,868 to 118,259. La Follette has attracted 164,366 recruits from the Democratic, Republican, minor party and new voter groups. The Republican party does not seem able to gain among Cox voters and new voters it loses to La Follette and Davis. Coolidge will find it much harder to win than did Harding, because of the divided opposition. He might as well consider Wisconsin lost; for, as the poll shows, there is a 40 per cent loss for him compared with the Harding vote. California may as well be put on the loss-side of the ledger; for California will not allow its vote to be forced. His little gain in New York, New Jersey, Colorado, Indiana, Kansas, Ohio, Nebraska, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, and Texas will not counterbalance his loss in Minnesota, Iowa, and Illinois. According to this poll the La Follettistas will call his hand in Wisconsin, California, Illinois, Minnesota, Washington, and in the "State unknown"; while the Davistas will do likewise in the Southern and border states. In the others the two will "check" while he deals the fifth card. The increase in price of mastership during the past few years has been marvelous. The increasing perplexities of the human race have made the intrinsic value of mastership worthy of consideration by the wisest and noblest minds in the professional world, that they may be of the greatest service to the people. Our study in pedagogy has been a means to excite this consideration among us. It is the crave for this which has given one man or nation the superiority over others. Most of us probably, entertain, at first, a persuasion that one ought to content himself with the use of common words in their common sense, and feel a repugnance to technical terms and arbitrary rules of phraseology, as pedantic and troublesome. It is soon found by the student of any branch of science that, without technical terms and fixed rules there can be no certain or progressive knowledge. Hardly any original thoughts in mental or social subjects ever made their way among mankind or assumed their proper importance in the minds even of their inventors until aptly selected words or phrases have, as it were, nailed them down and held them fast. Since ideas and existences are represented by terms and phrases; and as terms and phrases are representative of thoughts and things, and are means which enable us to speak about them, the definitions and explanations are necessary to learn and understand the meaning of the special terms thus employed. Should we use any such terms or phrases, it will be done only for the educational value to make you think. We want you to get the basal concepts of our subjects for use in after life. Man is conscious that there are certain occurrences which he can not control, and is powerless to avert. He, made in the Divine likeness, strains every nerve for the attainment of certain ends, to prove that he is a finite copy of the infinite Divine personality which seems to elevate its favorites on the one hand, and strike down its victims on the other, without reference to merit or demerit. All moral teaching is an affirmation of man's freedom to choose his course and set the price of his mastership, and man's patient and untiring efforts in achieving these ends are declarations of consciousness of freedom and power. The duel experienced between amateurs on the one hand, and masters on the other, has raised the price of mastership to the exterminable controversy between the believers in mastery and the upholders of desultory pursuits. Life is made up of causes and effects. It is both a sowing and a reaping. Each act is a cause which must be balanced by its effect. We choose the cause, we can not choose, alter, or avert the effect. Then we must have power to initiate causes that the effect might make us masters. Are we responsible for our deeds; are these not the effects of our character; or, are we responsible for the character, good or bad, which was given us at our birth? If character was "given us" at birth, the answer would be no, and there would be no need of training for mastership; but characters are not given ready-made, they are evolved; they are, indeed, the products of deeds. It is the combined result of an incalculable number of deeds, an accumulation of deeds which has been piled up, so to speak, by us during the vast ages of time and through innumerable lives, by a slow process of orderly evolution. By means of moral qualities it is possible for us to have a peculiar value to society, a value like that of the old soldier, who, though shorn of his limbs, has won the endurance of spirit breed member of the bar of the District of Columbia, filed a brief as amicus curiae, in which he attacked the validity of the Fifteenth Amendment on the very grounds of the suit brought in New Orleans on the Fourteenth Amendment. In its opinion, which was unanimous, the court made no mention of the point raised in Adriaans' brief. It may be safely assumed that the Supreme Court will refuse to entertain the present charge should it ever reach that court. There are certain things about this alleged proposed attack on the title of Mr. Cohen to his office on the ground of want of citizenship, which are exceedingly mysterious: 1. The news was sent out before the petition was filed. Why? 2. The news was timed for the Monday morning papers. Why? 3. The alleged contemplated attack on Mr. Cohen's right to hold office, comes months after his confirmation and his taking the oath and entering upon duty. Why? Why was it not filed immediately after confirmation or after entering upon duty? 4. It comes in the midst of a canvass for the presidency and within four weeks of election day. Why? 5. It is to be filed not by counsel eminent in the profession of the law, but by one whose identity is involved in doubt and obscurity. Why? The mystery surrounding this alleged petition is destined to take its place along with the mystery of "Who struck Billy Patterson?" MUSIC FORUM By Wellington A. Adams CONCLUDING ARTICLE ON VIOLIN STUDY dent is flattered by friends on his fine rendition of an easy solo. Now as a musical composition, the solo may be of the highest grade but as a violin number it may be, and usually is, in the elementary grade. In confusing the ideas of great works transcribed of the highest grade but as a violin works, our violinists usually grope about for years learning elementary and intermediate grade solos when they might be making progress in a higher grade of work. Now if students of violin would examine themselves, these questions should be asked: Can I play scales and arpeggios in all keys? What etudes can I play? What concertos and sonatas have I learned? These questions may be asked by any student who has finished the very first instruction book. Students in the elementary grade should direct their attentions to one and two octave scales and arpeggios and learn them in every position they have studied. They should learn all about Kayser, or most of Kayser and some Mazas. They should learn concertos by Seitz and Accolay, along with any other works within their technical abilities. White violin students of this city play concerto after concerto in the intermediate grade and think little or nothing of it, simply because they know how much more work there is ahead to be done before they can boast of a good education in violin. Negro students with equally as much talent acquire enough technic to play Melody in F. Menuett in G, and a few operate airs not originally intended for the violin, and consider it a waste of time to study more than one concerto, or learn more than a half-dozen scales. Students in the intermediate grade should cover Kreutzer, Fiorillo, Rode, and Campagnoli. They should know or learn three octave scales and arpeggios. Their solo repertoire should include concertos by Viotti, Kreutzer, Rode, and Beriot; sonatas by Handel, Tartini, or Corelli, along with any other solos within their technical abilities. In conclusion, every serious violin student has a chance to become a good player. He should examine himself from time to time along the lines mentioned and not fall behind in technic, repertoire, or etude study. Our violin teachers should not be afraid to set and keep the high standard by which they themselves were enabled to reach the teacher's grade. Students of the advanced grade should be sure to learn scales and arpeggios in double stops. Their etude work should include Gavinies Rovelli, Beriot Op. 123, with any other works recommended by the teacher. Sonatas by Bach and Beethoven, and concertos by Mozart, Bach, Vieux-temps, Mendelssohn, Sophr and Bruch should be in their solo repertoires, along with other solos recommended by the teacher. FELIX WEIR, MASTER VIOLINIST COMING Felix Weir, master violinist of New York City, and a great favorite in society and music circles of Washington, will appear as soloist in the opening recital of the Artists' Course Series Wednesday, November 12, 1924, 6 p.m. at Lincoln Theatre. In addition to private study, no student of violin should neglect duets, trios, quartets and orchestra work when an opportunity presents itself along these lines. In cities like New York, Chicago or Boston, most violin students have an idea of the scope of the work in each grade. In Washington however, race prejudice is the direct cause of a very low standard in violin playing among Negroes. Ambition to progress dies when the stu- of arduous campaigns. Separated in a great measure from the eager enjoyment of life, even if owing to his maladies he brings to his work diminished power, he may, at the same time, bring greater steadfastness of purpose than men of unabated strength. "Time and I against any three," was the motto of King Charles V. In one of his letters, J. R. Green says: "The world moves along, not merely by the gigantic shoves of its hero workers, but by the aggregate tiny pushes of every honest worker whatever." "Circumstances spur us as much as they hinder us," it is in the struggle, for mastery, day by day with them, that we gain muscle for the real life fight. Consider the end. Be brave. Struggle to do your work to the last. Carry it on with unsurpassed gallantry against the most distressing difficulties. Protest against mere asceticism, blindness to what is really beautiful and pleasurable in life, preference for the disagreeable; above all things the parting of life into this element and that, and a contempt of half the life we have to live, as if it were something which hindered us from living the other half. Mind and soul and body—you should have all harmoniously developed together; neither intellectualism, spiritualism, nor sensualism, but a broad humanity. Put forth energy from within. Rely on your own resources; nothing can stop your progress but unfaithfulness to yourself. Never lose faith in the higher purposes of your being. You need force of purpose, hardiness, and resolution. You must learn to will with that energy and fearlessness to which so many difficulties yield. Do you know how this force is gained? We know that exposure, exertion, and conflict with difficulties do much to give tone to the body, and so they do to the mind. Resolve on the acquisition of moral energy—and as far as you can command circumstances—place yourself where it may be won most effectually. Do not expose yourself very freely at first, any more than you would carry an invalid from a warm room into a piercing atmosphere. But take on yourself some good work and determine to carry it through, whether hard or easy, painful or pleasant, to the extent of your power. The most profitable portions of your life are those when you do your best. Nothing is morally good in you but what you are active in producing. "Man is man and master of his fate." The will in man which is conquering the knowledge of natural law will conquer the knowledge of spiritual law; the will which in ignorance, chooses evil, as wisdom evolves and emerges, chooses good. In a universe of law, the final master of evil by man is assured. His lesser destinies of separation and sorrow, defeat, and death, are but disciplinary steps leading to the Great Destiny of triumphal mastery.

PRINCE OF WALES COMMANDS FORD DABNEY'S ORCHESTRA New York City, Oct. 9- The enchanting strains of Ford Dabney's syncopied orchestra of New York City still 'ingers in the ears of Prince Edward. During the Prince's recent holiday on the estates of his American hosts, he danced to the wonder melodies of Ford Dabney's orchestra. Very little publicity was given to this fact, of course, but all of the white bands that stood in front of his door enjoyed much newspaper space about this honor. But as usual, our merits "will out." This young and most cosmopolitan Prince has commanded our great music idol and his celebrated Broadway orchestra to his Canadian palace to play for him before his return to England.
