ROYAL PATRON OF EASTERN STAR SUED FOR Court of Appeals Upholds Segregation Covenant on Bloomingdale Property First in Local Circulation. ROYAL Court OPINION GIVEN BY JUSTICE WHO WROTE CURTIS CASE DECISION The Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia again upheld residential segregation here when it handed down a decision Monday holding valid a covenant among property owners not to sell to Negroes. Curtis' Case Controlling The opinion was rendered by Associate Justice Van Orsdel, who also wrote the opinion in the Curtis case, which has been appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States. The court adhered to its decision in the Curtis case. The decision upheld a temporary injunction secured in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia by Daisy B. Wolfes, Erna M. Bibb, Charles J. Orem and other property owners in the Bloomingdale section against Minnie E. Torrey and Soreno S. Ivy. The property in question is located in Randolph Place, Northwest. It was owned by Mrs. Torrey, who sold it to Mr. Ivy, a colored person, and executed a deed, which was recorded before the filing of the suit for an injunction. All the deeds to this property from the original owners contained the following restriction: "Subject to the covenant that said lots shall never be rented, leased, sold, transferred, or conveyed unto any Negro or colored person under a penalty of two thousand dollars, which shall be a lien against said lot." From a decree of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, issuing a temporary injunction, Mrs. Torrey and Mr. Ivy appealed. Court's Opinion The court in its opinion said. "The case turns wholly upon the validity of the covenant in the deed, and the right of the plaintiffs to have it enforced in a Court of Equity. It is apparent that each of the parties to this action, plaintiffs as well as the defendant Torrey, when they purchased their homes, subjected themselves to the restrictive covenant, not only for their own protection, but upon the assurance that a similar restriction would rest upon all other property embraced in the Middaugh and Shannon Development on Randolph Place. Cites Curtis Case "Nor is the contention of appellants that the covenant in question cannot be enforced in equity sound. 'Equity enforces contracts and covenants in regard to property entered into between prior grantors and grantees, in regard to the use of the property, especially if common property or property descending from a common source, against subsequent owners affected with actual or constructive notice of such contracts and covenants.' Trudeau v. Field, 69 Vt. 446,450. This principal was sustained by this Court in the recent case of Corrigan, et al. v. Buckley, (the Curtis case) 299 Fed. 899. In that case it was ruled that the constitutional right of a Negro to acquire, own and occupy property does not imply the constitutional power to compel sale and conveyance to him of any particular private property. The citizen, whether he be black or white, may refuse to sell his property, or he may sell it under such lawful restrictions as he may see fit to impose. This right of placing restrictions upon the use of property is available alike The Washington Tribune PUBLISHED WEEKLY PATRON of Appe ovenan DR. ISAAC FISHER OF FISK WINS SCHOLARSHIP New York, May 31—Appointment of fifteen scholars and educators in the United States as the first to receive fellowships from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation was announced today. The fifteen, one a colored man, will spend the academic year 1925-26 in work on a wide range of subjects, their studies taking them to the Far East and Africa. Isaac Fisher, a teacher in Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn., will study danger trends in world racial relations in this country and abroad. The foundation, which has a fund of $3,000,000, was established by Simon Guggenheim, former United States Senator and Mrs. Guggenheim, in memory of their son, who died in 1922. CATHOLIC SCHOOL HOLDS ITS FIRST COMMENCEMENT The first closing exercises of the Cardinal Gibbons Institute, a national school for colored youth erected at Ridge, Maryland, were held on Thursday, May 28, with a large attendance, particularly from Baltimore, Washington, and Maryland. The principal address was by Professor Eugene Clark, Principal of the Miner Normal School, Washington, D.C. Brief talks were made by several, including Dr. Aaron Russell, a prominent dentist of Washington, who has conducted a dental clinic during the year at the school at which students and residents of the County were treated. Included also were talks by Admiral William S. Benson, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees; A. C. Monahan, Secretary of the Board of Trustees; Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham, of the Washington, D.C., Community Service; Mrs. Carrie Syphax Watson, of the Domestic Art Department of the Washington Public Schools; Miss Caroline Hunt, U. S. Bureau of Home Economics, Department of Agriculture; and Mr. William Prater, Secretary of the Federated Colored Catholics of the United States. During the meeting the students gave several musical selections, including "Come, Holy," "Go Down, Moses," "Italia," and the national Negro hymn. The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees held an adjourned meeting during the day. It was decided to build immediately a cost not over $5,000, and a dormitory for 40 boys. Also, to improve the roadway leading from the state road to the school. These improvements are absolutely essential, unless the institution is to turn down a large number of applicants for admission for the coming year. Seventy-seven have already applied, these applications coming from fourteen different states. The enrollment during the present year, the first year of the school's existence, is thirty-three. All of these have been enrolled in regular junior high school work. In addition to academic work, they have had practical instruction in carpentry, painting, farming, cooking, and laundering. to all citizens, white or black, and a covenant thus placing a restriction upon the use of property is enforceable in equity against a member of the excluded race, whether the person particularly excluded be white or black. We think the Corrigan case is controlling here." WASHINGTON, D.C. SATURDAY, JUNE 6, 1925 PROF. HAWKINS SECURES GIFT OF $200,000 FOR A. M. E. SCHOOL Kittrell College of Kittrell, North Carolina, received in the forms of gifts last week, $200,000 from Benjamin N. Duke, tobacco king, of New York City. $100,000 of this amount was given unconditionally; the other $100,000 is to go toward an endowment for the school. This latter amount was given in bonds of the Duke Power Company of North Carolina. This gift was secured by Prof. John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the A. M. E. Church and president of the Prudential Bank of this city. Prof. Hawkins has been a close friend of the Duke family for over thirty years. As an evidence of Mr. Duke's belief in Mr. Hawkins' integrity, he personally delivered to him a check for $100,000. As a further evidence of Mr. Dukes' faith in Negroes to manage their own affairs, he asked that the check be deposited in the Prudential Bank of which Prof. Hawkins is president. These funds which were deposited this week will remain in the Prudential Bank until expended. By special order of the Trustee Board of Kittrell, and request of Mr. Duke, Prof. Hawkins will have general over-sight as to how this fund is to be applied. The announcement of the gift was made at the Commencement exercises of the College last Thursday, May 29. The vast crowd cheered to the echo, When the Trustee Board was informed by Prof. Hawkins of the gift, the members were so elated that many of them embraced him. Another announcement at the Commencement exercises was that friends of the A. M. E. Church in the second Episcopal district, embracing the Baltimore, Virginia and North Carolina Conferences, had subscribed for more than $50,000 towards a special building fund and had paid in more than $25,000 of the same. In addition to making his gift to Kittrell College, Mr. Duke asked Prof. Hawkins to assist him in distributing several thousand more dollars. This money went in forms of gifts to several small institutions in the South, including $2500 for Colored Orphan Asylum at Oxford, North Carolina. In making his gifts to Negro education, Mr. Duke was not only influenced by the confidence and personal esteem in which Prof Hawkins is held by the Duke family, but also by the many evidences of self help and business ability shown by those in charge of the schools and colleges and the several departments of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. The next building to be erected at Kittrell is an administration building. This will be the Angier B. Duke Building in honor of the son of the dnor. Most of the active officers of Kittrell College are educators and successful business men. This policy was advocated by Bishop J. A. Johnson, the President of the Board of Trustees. Professor G. A. Edwards is President of the College, Dr. John R. Hawkins, Fiscal Agent, is an addition to his important position of Financial Secretary of the A. M. E. Church, President of the Prudential Bank of Washington, D.C. Mr. J. M. Avery, Secretary of the College, is actively identified with many prominent business and fraternal institutions, chief of which is the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company of Durham, which he is Vice-President and Secretary. Prof. W. G. Pearson, Treasurer of the College, is President of the Bankers' Fire Insurance Com- BAPTIST CONVENTION TO MEET HERE The Friendship Baptist Church of which Rev. D. Y. Campbell is pastor, will entertain the New England Baptist Convention, which will meet here June 16th to 22nd, inclusive in its Fifty-First Annual Session. Main session will be held at Metropolitan Baptist Church. Special sessions of the Women's Auxiliary and the B. Y. P. U., will be held in the Florida Avenue Baptist Church. The convention will bring here many noted clergymen and leaders in the Baptist connection. STUDENTS GET REPLY FROM H.U. FACULTY The Howard University faculty will consider only reported cases of personal misdeeds of students during the recent strike against military training and physical education; will not count absences from classes during the strike period, and will take no action under the "20-eut" rule until a special committee appointed to consider the whole question of physical education makes its report. This is the gist of the decision of the Howard University faculty on the three requests submitted by the students for immediate consideration. The students were advised of the faculty action by F. D. Wilkinson, registrar, last week. Arthur M. Brady, president of the Student Council expressed satisfaction with it as far as it goes. The students requested that no penalties be issued against those who participated in the strike; that no "cuts" be counted against students for absences during the strike period, and that no student be suspended as a re- (Continued on page 3) CORNER STONE LAID FOR NEW BUILDING At one o'clock, Tuesday afternoon, June 2nd, the cornerstone of the New Gymnasium and Armory at Howard University was laid, which together with the Athletic Field is to cost $197,500. The exercises were simple, but impressive with brief addresses being made by Dr. Charles R. Brown, Dean of the Yale Divinity School, and President of the Board of Trustees of Howard University; other members of the Board of Trustees of Howard University, and by Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, President of the University; and Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary-Treasurer. NEVAL H. THOMAS SPEAKS Atlantic City, N.J.—Neval H. Thomas president of the local branch of the National Association of Colored People, spoke before the Chamber of Commerce at the Atlantic City Yacht Club here on last Thursday night. He took for his subject "Interracial Good Will." This body is composed of the richest people of the resort, the proprietors of the huge hostelries that line the ocean front. Mr. Thomas told his audience of the value of good will between races, not only to the submerged group, but to the dominant as well. He told them of the aspirations of colored people, and of the vast services they have rendered the nations in all fields of endeavor. pany and the directing force of the Royal Knghts of King David most of which institutions are located in Durham. NEW TRUSTEES ELECTED AT H.U., RECORD BUDGET IS ANNOUNCED The annual meeting of the Board of Trustees of Howard University was held in the Board Room, Carnegie Library, on the campus of the University, Tuesday, June 2nd, at 10:30 o'clock. Dr. Charles R. Brown, Dean of the Yale Divinity School, New Haven, Connecticut, and President of the Howard Board of Trustees, presided. The annual reports of the administrative officers of the University, Dr. J. Stanley Durke, president, and Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer, were presented. The President's Annual Report The report of the President indicated that the attendance during the past year in all schools of the University has been 2064, from forty-seven states, also Africa, British West Indies, British Guiana, Canada, Central America, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Porto Rico, Republic of Columbia, and Virgin Islands. The president reported that the work of the year has gone steadily forward and upon the whole has been the most successful series of years. The more personal attention of the trustese through its various officers, and especially the close attention of the Budget Bureau, has simplified and made more effective, much of the work. This cooperation has greatly heartened and strengthened the administrative officers. Besides all the usual work and burden which must come upon the President, he has carried two classes a week during the year in Voice Building and Platform Art. One class has been conducted for the School of Religion and one for those students in the college who have desired to take such special training. The Secretary-Treasurer's Report The report of Doctor Scott, secretary-treasurer, reviewed the financial condition of the University during the school year, 1924-25, and detailed at some length the general improvements which have taken place in connection with the educational plant of the University, and the University's general expansion in other directions. The budget for the year 1924-25 has amounted to $618,018, including the unexpended portion of the Government appropriation for the Gymnasium, Armory, and Athletic Field project, which latter sum has been obligated but not yet expended. The University Budget for 1925-26 "The University Budget for 1925-26 will include (in case the $130,000 for equipment of the New Medical School Building is secured) a Government appropriation of $591,00 and, in addition, appropriations out of General Funds which will amount, approximately, to about $265,000 (estimating on the basis of the figures of 1924-25), or a grand total of $856,000. This is most likely the largest budget of any educational institution in the world specializing in the teaching of colored youth. Every dollar of this huge sum will be expended under the most careful supervision and for those specific objects directed by the Board of Trustees. President Durkee and the secretary-treasurer have appeared successively, and some times twice before the officers of the Department of the Interior, the Bureau of the Budget, the House Committee on Appropriations, and before the Senate Committee on Appropriations, watching step by step, the advance of the estimates. "It is, therefore, with very great pleasure and satisfaction that the fact is chroniced that the labors (Continued on page 5). Office: 920 U Street, N.W. FOR tion property DR. DURKEE RELINQUISHES CONNECTIONS WITH THE CURRY SCHOOL President J. Stanley Durkee, president of Howard University and for seven months, president of the Curry School of Expression of Boston, (white) announced this week his resignation from all connections with this school. Dr. Durkee, in addition to being president of the Curry School, was also a member of the Board of Directors. He was on the board for twenty-five years. According to a statement made to The Tribune Thursday, he has relinquished all connections with the Curry School. Dr. Durkee's connection with the Curry School has subjected him to much severe criticism during the past winter and spring, because Negro students were not admitted to this school. Therefore, he was president of two schools, one white and one colored at the same time and one of them would not admit students of the other. Dr. Durkee denied that he had neglected his duties at Howard. He stated that he has only made four trips to Boston on business for the Curry School, and stated that press reports to the contrary were incorrect. KLAN EDITOR SAYS NEGRO IS INFERIOR RACE (By WOW) The Fellowship Forum, a national weekly paper devoted exclusively to the Ku Klux-Klan activities, in an editorial in its editoin of May 2nd, gives the official view of the Klan on the Negro Race. The Editorial was inspired by an article in the Country Editor on "Will the North American Negro Survive?" The article evidently aroused the wrath of the Kluxers and hence a reply was deemed necessary. The Klan editor of the Forum gives the public some enlightening discoveries on the capabilities of Negroes. The article states that it is impossible for the Negro race to even produce a man of the intelligence of a white man. A Clergyman, Negro Worship and the Future "Will the North American Negro Survive?" is the title of an article, excellently written and deeply learned, in the April issue of the Country Editor. But the question raised by the article is not, after all, whether the negro race will survive in this country, but whether it will pollute the blood stream of the white race here? And that is a question closely concerns all of us, a to which the final answer may not be given for a thousand years, but which, for each successive generation, must be stoutly answered in the negative. In order to make the thundering NO of our generation effective, attention must be given to some of the things mentioned by the writer of the Country Editor article, Arthur F. Paddock. Mr. Paddock discussed what he calls "negro worship." He finds this worship to exist not alone in white men who debase themselves by cohabitation with negro women, but in the mental, or, as he calls it, emotional, attitude of an entirely different class of men who manifest "negro worship" in what the author calls "feats of obeisance." He refers specifically to a prominent New York Episcopal clergyman who recently said of the negro W. E. B. DuBois, "I know of no man belonging to any of the white races who is his superior either intellectually or spiritually." Now, it happens that this mulatto, DuBois, is a militant advocate of a number of things that no man who is (Continued on Page 7) Washington's Best Advertising Medium. Price 5 Cents $10,000 MRS. M. K. KELSON SAYS SHE WAS INJURED BY LETTER Mrs. Margaret K. Kelson of 739 Irving Street, Northwest, has filed suits in the District Supreme Court against Ernest M. Dickerson, royal patron of Prince Hall Chapter, No. 5, Order of Eastern Star, for $10,000 damages for alleged libel. Mrs. Kelson says that she was appointed by the presiding officer of Prince Hall Chapter to a position of honor and trust, but that Mr. Dickerson caused it to be suspected and believed that she was incompetent and unfit to carry on the duties of the office by the publication of the following alleged charge: "I hereby feel constrained to prefer charges against Honored Lady Margaret K. Kelson in the matter following: 1. "Fostering confusion in the Chapter by going among its members attacking several of its officers, disturbing the peace and harmony of said Chapter and making it unpleasant for said officers to work with her. 2. "Defaming the character of several officers of the Chapter by signing and circulating or caused to be signed and circulated sometime between February 11, 1925, and February 20, 1925, certain libelous matter in the form of an affidavit alleging certain insults, although untrue, which reflects on my character and reputation and the reputation and character of all officers of the Chapter who have advanced during my terms as Royal Patron of Prince Hall Chapter. All of which I consider to be to the gaudal and disgrace of Prince Hall Chapter, No. 5, O. E. O. E. S. "Ernest M. Dickerson, Royal Patron." These charges were construed, she said, to mean that she had been guilty of perjury by the making of false statements under oath and was therefore dishonest and untrustworthy in the exercise of her duties as an officer and a member of Prince Hall Chapter. She alleges that she has been brought into public scandal, infamy and disgrace, has been suspended from her office and cited to show cause why she should not be expelled from the order. Attorneys Thomas O. King and Bruce L. Castelle appear for her. 34th ANNUAL BANQUET AND INSTALLATION BY THE AMPHION GLEE CLUB The well-known Apmhion Glee Club held its 34th annual banquet and installation of officers recently at the Phyllis Wheatley Y.

JUNE 6. 1925 DIAMOND DUST LeDroit Tigers Subdue Bring your Picnic Basket, your Kodak, your Children and your Friends, and spend the day at the New SUBURBAN GARDENS By The Observer. The new rules as laid down by the Eastern League at the beginning of the season are open to some criticism, especially the rule which prohibits league teams from playing games with other teams of color. To my mind this seems to be a rule that does not redound to the credit of the league because it offers no encouragement to young ball players of color. If the league is to go forward, it is necessary that young players be encouraged to improve themselves in diamond technique, thereby preparing themselves to take the place of the aging veterans and replace those who do not measure up to the highest standard of playing skill and sportsmanship. Things You Should Know That Ben Taylor was once a left-handed pitcher and one season won thirty games and lost only one. That Bruce Petway, now managing the Detroit Stars, while catching in the Cuban Winter League, threw out Ty Cobb sixteen times trying to steal second base. That Rube Foster once bested Rubie Waddell in a pitchers' battle. That Wickware once beat Walter Johnson in a pitching duel. That the late C. I. Taylor was the first man to draw up plans for organized colored baseball. That there are more players from Texas in the Eastern and Western colored leagues than from any other three states combined. As I See It Here is the way I rate the second baseman in the Eastern league—Warfield, Lloyd, Day and Hamilton. Unless the Potomacs (lately of Washington but now of Wilmington) improve greatly, they will finish well in the rut. Strong, the kid pitcher of the Baltimore Black Sox, is their most effective pitcher. Jeffries, the diminutive third baseman of the Black Sox, is quite a hitter. He led both the Hilldale and Black Sox batters on Memorial Day. The Harrisburg Giants are setting a merry pace. They took two games from the Cubans on Decoration Day. The Cuban Stars are getting bumped regularly these days. Shackelford, the star third baseman of Wiley College down in Texas, has joined the Harrisburg Giants. "Bizz."

The Tigers established a record for home-runs in one game, getting a total of six, Kenner getting two, Turner 1, Slim Taylor 1, Jefferson 1, and Manly 1. | | ab | r | h | Oriental | ab | r | h | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Turner,ss | 2 | 3 | Reward,cf | 4 | 2 | 1 | 2 | | Kenner,2b | 5 | 3 | Fountry,lf | 4 | 1 | 2 | 1 | | M.Baylor,rf | 5 | 1 | Carroll,ss | 4 | 0 | 0 | 1 | | Jefferson,cf | 6 | 1 | Fells,3b | 3 | 2 | 3 | 1 | | Lewis,c | 1 | 1 | Brown,lb | 3 | 0 | 3 | 1 | | Wiggins,lb | 4 | 0 | Williams,rf | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | | S.Baylor,3b | 5 | 4 | Morton,2b | 4 | 1 | 1 | 1 | | Manly,lf | 5 | 3 | Payne,nc | 3 | 2 | 2 | 1 | | Lacey,p | 5 | 0 | Barner,br | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | | Briscoe,oe | 5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | Total | 43 | 14 | 30 | Totals | 29 | 9 | 13 | Va.

Miller returned to the Howard Theatre Monday night for a week's engagement in a new musical revue, "Dancing Days," with bits from his previous successes, "Broadway Rastus" and "Liza." There is one thing that always stands out in the Irvin Miller productions. It is dancing. And that is particularly true of his latest show. The dancing carries it through. Misses Aurora Greely and Flo Brown are the bright stars of this musical revue. Of course, Irvin Miller himself, Blanche Thompson, and Tallie De Gaston are not to be overlooked. But Misses Greely and Brown stand out and add luster to the show. The musical hit is "Sweet Georgia Brown," by Misses Greely and Brown and the girls, introducing the "Charleston." The waltz number by Irvin C. Miller and Blanche Thompson also went big. A monologue and song, "West Indies Blue," by Tallie De Gaston got him an encore. Lillian Lorraine stepped out from the chorus and put over a "blues" number. Other musical numbers included "Going South" by Cecil Rivers, Flo Brown and girls, "Tea for Two" by Aurora Greely and John Henderson, "Mandalay" by Cecil Rivers and girls, "The Melody that Made You Mine" by John. Henderson and girls, "Swinging Along" by Flo Brown and Cecil Rivers and "Alabamy Bound" by Aurora Greely and girls. Next week, G. H. Tucker, manager of the Howard, is presenting Eddie Hunter in "How Come."

The editor—presumably G. F. Moore—of the Fellowship Forum, a weekly published here, had his false race pride so wounded by an article under the heading, "Will the North American Negro Survive?" which appeared recently in the Country Editor, that he felt called upon to denounce editorially the writer of the article and those who hold similar views; and attempted to refute the Country Editor. Among other things Moore said: "The question raised by the archetype the negro race will survive in the will pollute the blood stream of it. It is quite inconceivable that an attribute to a mongrel of white race equal to those of the most intelligent is simply foolish who will contend strain can produce intellectual white races. Scientific investigation that such a thing is impossible." Here we have a case of a representative has allowed his superiority complex representative of a group which is a strain its assumption of the inherent ability to keep things aright—incidently, as opinion that by Divine right his kind from now on, forever. This belief him that he can no longer be satisfied must turn to his egotistical yearning and his group are important—he says must magnify that importance. Oppression has done much to struggle for existence and for free the Race and making Moore and hisLEX. The present domination of the uncarious and conversely the expressive easy.

I have a case of a representative of group O and his superiority complex to become an activist of a group which is in a seething struggle of the inherent right of assisting things aright—incidently, as they are. He is not by Divine right his kind is destined to run, forever. This belief has become so much that he can no longer be satisfied in his person to his egotistical yearnings to justify its group are important—he says, Divinely so—toify that importance.

Domination by Moore's group is creating a sect which is growing directly in proportioning control.

Just for Moore and his group is yet to comprehend that the Negro is gradually but surely man's religion and is strenuously trying to which is more beneficent and less disjointly connecting the links of his tradition, and cultural surplus and asserting himself as a man. Before germane that we, irrespective of race, would adapt ourselves to the attitude of the O and prevent our sensibilities from running right and will. It is better now that Moore's group of young white men from a Y.M.C.A. ropes to camp with them, according the O andleges and accepting them on the same leaber, thus demonstrating that the younger completely obsessed by the white supremacy of the O of "mongrels"—meaning persons having blood of two or more races—raises the question the reinforcement from the blood of O and before the mongrelity "runs out," as the O himself should be particularly interested in his patronymic (Moore, from Moor) showcations ago, one of his paternal ancestors of Ogrel, and a step or two further back, in his truly an unmixed Moor. "The question raised by the article is not, after all, whether the negro race will survive in this country, but whether it will pollute the blood stream of the white race here? . . . . It is quite inconceivable that any well informed man should attribute to a mongrel of white and black intellectual powers equal to those of the most intellectual white man. That man is simply foolish who will contend that, at this time, a negroid strain can produce intellectual giants equal to those of the white races. Scientific investigation has clearly demonstrated that such a thing is impossible." Here we have a case of a representative of group egotism who has allowed his superiority complex to become an obsession, a representative of a group which is in a seething struggle to retain its assumption of the inherent right of assisting the Divine to keep things aright—incidently, as they are. He is of the false opinion that by Divine right his kind is destined to rule the world from now on, forever. This belief has become so much a part of him that he can no longer be satisfied in his personal ego, but must turn to his egotistical yearnings to justify its being. He and his group are important—he says, Divinely so—therefore, he must magnify that importance. Oppression has done much to strengthen the Negro race. The struggle for existence and for freedom is gradually awakening the Race and making Moore and his group's position more complex. The present domination of the lighter races is becoming precarious and conversely the exploitation of the darker races less easy. Domination by Moore's group is creating in the Negro a self-respect which is growing directly in proportion to Moore's fear of losing control. "Scientific investigation has clearly demonstrated" that the Negro has an inferior mental ability, according to Moore's assertion. The fact is he has misunderstood his information. He should have added the prefix "pseudo," then his statement would explain itself. A person in Virginia who possesses one-sixteenth Negro blood is politically, socially and pseudo-scientifically a Negro; but not so scientifically. A true scientist would not make such a preposterous error in classification, no more than he would fill a bucket one-sixteenth full of water and fill the remaining space with flour and call the substance a bucket of water. The real scientist does not consider group egos as a defense for white supremacy. The worst for Moore and his group is vet to come. It is already manifest that the Negro is gradually but surely discarding the white man's religion and is strenuously trying to establish a religion which is more beneficent and less discriminating. He is gradually connecting the links of his tradition, accumulating a sort of cultural surplus and asserting himself as a man amongst men. It is therefore germane that we, irrespective of race, color or creed, should adapt ourselves to the attitude of the brotherhood of man and prevent our sensibilities from running rampant with our intellect and will. It is better now that Moore's group strike a median to avert or forestall an impending fall. Perhaps it would be of interest to him to know that in a nearby Virginia town a group of young white men from a Y.M.C.A. invited four young Negroes to camp with them, according the Negroes the same privileges and accepting them on the same level as each white member, thus demonstrating that the younger generation is not completely obsessed by the white supremacy delusion. Speaking of "mongrels"—meaning persons having in their veins the blood of two or more races—raises the question as to how far must the reinforcement from the blood of one side only be continued before the mongrelity "runs out," as the saying goes. Mr. Moore himself should be particularly interested in this question; for his patronymic (Moore, from Moor) shows that not so many generations ago, one of his paternal ancestors was what he calls a mongrel, and a step or two further back, in his line, there was evidently an unmixed Moor.

He must be convinced that centralized authority is essential to the Nation.

Were I to specify the period, which, of all others, is attended with the greatest peril and most needs to be watched and guarded, I would fix upon that which covers your struggle for an education in college. Indeed, this is the forming, fixing period, the spring season of disposition and habit; and it is during this season, more than any other, that the character assumes its permanent shape and color, and that you are wont to shape your course for time and eternity. This is one of the most important and perilous periods of your whole existence. During this period, the passions, budding and hastening to ripeness, become impatient of restraint, and eager for gratification.

The restless desire for independence and self-control springs up in the mind: the disposition to throw off the restraints of parental counsel and authority and to think and to act for yourselves. The social impulse is felt. You look around for companions and friends; the calling for life is chosen; the principles of action are adopted; habits are acquired; and those connections in business are formed, which usually decide the character and fix the conditions both for this and the future world. Here the path to respectability, to usefulness, and to happiness, is open before you; here, also, is the path to infamy and wretchedness. A choice is to be made; you are to enter upon that path which in all probability you will pursue through life, and which will terminate in Heaven or Hell. Such are the conditions that confront you, encompass you, and so little are you aware of them that there is great reason to fear that you will mistake the road to happiness and usefulness, and wander into one of the million ways that lead to ruin. You are, in general, but little aware of the danger which attends the playing with temptations. You readily perceive the degrading and destructive tendency of the grosser vices; but you are slow to believe that there are certain dispositions and habits which inevitably lead to those vices and their consequent degradation and ruin. Hence, while you shun the more open and flagrant offenses, you are not afraid to venture upon what are deemed little sins,—upon slight deviations from duty,—occasional indulgence of the appetite and passions. There is no more fatal mistake than this. It is the one cause of ruin of the characters and souls of men. All vicious habits take their origin in what are considered little sins.

By Wellington A. Adams CULTIVATES MUSICAL VOICES In this golden age of exploration into the subconscious and the supernormal psychologists and psychoanalysts have overlooked very little, if any part, of us, and now they have hit upon a new point of attack—our voice. By the voice shall we then be judged. It is the keynote of character, and the old adage to the effect that actions speak louder than words is in the discard, gone into the limbo of those other disapproved saws concerning the early bird and the worm, the rolling stone and the moss, and the rest. A noted singer says, "It is an abomination, a blot on our educational system that even high school graduates, who come forth supposedly primed with all sorts of special knowledge, come also with voices uncultured, discordant and harsh, to say nothing of an indifferent observance of the rules of English grammar. Another Englishman says we spend money so favishly in the cultivation of the singing voice here in America, but the speaking voice, the common medium of communication, is allowed to go neglected, with practically no attention paid to it at all.

Considered physiologically and psychologically, it alone is one of the best mediums for making good citizens. In the first place, the cultivation of a good speaking voice renders it necessary to breathe deeply and rhythmically. This sends the blood, properly aerated, through the arteries, makes red corpuscles, strengthens the heart action, etc. Secondly, it automatically induces an upright posture, brings the chest up and out, the shoulders back, abdomen in and head properly poised, and, by the same token, just naturally makes for better moral and mental, as it does for physical health. And a healthy moral, mental, and physical being is a happier one and a better citizen. But how, perhaps you ask, can this cultivation of a speaking voice be arrived at? I can tell you one important step in three words: 'Watch your speech,' and then, I think, I shall add another admonition, 'Watch the speech of others.' By the agreeable or disagreeable effect upon you, you will learn what to cultivate and what to avoid. The rules of pleasantly modulated speaking voices and of correct English are really very simple if one will give a thought to them after certain instructions in fundamentals. rlock PHOTOGRAPHS THE KIND THAT PLEASE J STREET, N.W.

READ NEGRO LITERATURE There are lots of things of which the Negro child should know and be proud of. There are facts that seem astounding when you stop to think what the race has done in such a short time, and under-such adverse conditions. To learn these things one must read—and as we read we must pass the knowledge along. 13. Return home for lunch without loitering. Wash before lunch Eat slowly. It is almost a certainty that if a ceasus be taken in our homes asking us who were the six greatest Negroes of all times all of the answers would be limited to five names only: Washington, Douglass, Dunbar, Attucks L'Orverture. There are half a hundred names of Negroes who have done very, very remarkable things. The child today should not, nor can he afford to know no more of his or her race than does the average parent. 16. Read papers or study. 17. Be cheerful and polite always. 18. Never say "nigger." Let us, when we are at a loss what would be a good gift to a friend, remember that a book telling of the good things concerning the race is ever amiss.

It is seldom that we read stories of Negro men and boys who are heroes. Not because Negroes are not heroic, but because the papers, other than our own, do not publish such news. But here are some cases where real, sure enough, live, Negro boys have been real, sure enough, live heroes. Boyce Lindsay, a sixteen-year old boy at Spartansburg, S. C., May 28, 1910, saved an eleven-year-old white child from being run over by a train. He received a bronze medal and $2,000 to be used for his education. Elbert Gray, sixteen-year old school boy at Canton, Texas, saved a two-year old child from drowning in a well thirteen inches in diameter and sixty feet deep, which contained eighteen inches of water. He received a bronze medal and $2,000 for educational purposes as needed. Nolden Townsell, age sixteen, saved a four-year old child from being run down by an automobile truck at Waco, Texas, February 1st, 1912. He received $2,000 for his education and a bronze medal. Beecher Roberts, a seventeen-year-old farm hand, helped Thomas Ashcraft from a 65-foot deep caved-in well at Tyler, Texas, April 16, 1912. He received a bronze medal and $500 for a worthy purpose as needed. Roberts reached the well after two white men had been drowned in the well trying to remove the sand which partially covered Ashcraft. He was asked to assist which he immediately did; descended into the well, removed some sand from around Ashcraft's legs, and then tied the rope to Ashcraft. Another rope was lowered to Roberts and both were drawn up. Woodson Graham, thirteen-year-old school boy at Grenada, Miss., June 2, 1913, died attempting to save Arlington Buntin, another boy, from drowning in Yalobushes River. BOYHOOD OF BENJAMIN BANNEKER This is the story of a boy whose great-grand-father was an African king. It was a common custom of the early days of America to be instructed with the Bible as a text book which proved a means of learning the child religious history and to act as a speller and primer. Benjamin was first instructed to read through this medium, being taught by his grandmother. He later went to a school which both white and colored children attend, and of course, was taught by a white teacher. This school was very small and not so greatly attended, as the school system was not very old in those days. Little Benjamin was a very serious and determined scholar. He was anxious and apt. He cared little for the games the children played and he seldom took part in them. It was generally said of him that "all his delight was to dive into his books." Not being able to secure very many books to read he sought information through conversation and observation. He was always alert to all of the local news, and his queries led him to valuable information. Besides being diligent in studying he was very industrious and helped his father in all his work. He was alert, active, progressive and willing in performing the hard tasks of the farm. He was partial to mathematics and soon became the boast of his home town as being the brightest boy for miles around. His memory was great and he used his grammar properly and understood the things he talked about. By nature he was kind, generous, humane and he was obedient to his parents. Being a boy of such qualities we can easily imagine him as having dreams of doing great things when he became a man, and who knows but that many a night he lay awake longing for better circumstances that would place within his reach higher attainments in the way of learning, learning, learning. We doubt whether he ever dreamed that he would make the first clock in America, or that he would make an almanac that would be recognized by the whole country, or that the President of the United States would appoint him to help survey and define the boundary lines and lay out the streets of the District of Columbia. But in after years these things did come to pass. 5.5 WHERE YOU CAN JOIN THE BOY SCOUTS Troop No. 501 meets at Lovejoy School every Thursday night. Benjamin E. Whitaker, Scout Master.

The Scout Motto Among the very first things a boy must know to become a scout are the scout law, salute, sign, oath, motto, and the significance of the badge. The motto of the boy scouts is Be Prepared, and the badge of the boy scouts is a copyrighted design with this motto, "Be prepared," on a scroll at its base. The motto, "Be Prepared," means that the scout is always in a state of readiness in mind and body to do his duty; to be prepared in mind, by having disciplined himself to be obedient, and also by having thought out beforehand any accident or situation that may occur, so that he may know the right thing to do at the right moment, and be willing to do it; to be prepared in body by making himself strong and active and able to do the right thing at the right moment and then to do it. Significance of the Scout Badge The Scout Badge is not meant to represent either the fleur-de-lis or an arrowhead, although it looks like both. It is really the sign of the North on the mariner's compass, in a slightly changed form. This sign is as old as the history of navigation. The Chinese claim its use among them as early as 2634 B.C., and we have definite information that it was used at sea by them as early as 300 A.D. Marco Polo brought the compass to Europe on his return from Cathay. The sign of the north on the compass gradually came to represent the north, and pioneers, trappers, woodsmen and scouts, because of this, took it for their emblem. Through centuries of use, changes have been made in it. Now we have taken its shape as that of our badge, and have added to the face of it the American Eagle and Shield, and two stars, to make it look more distinguished. The stars are the scout's guide by night, as they have been of mariners, and are typical of the outdoor life of every true scout who loves to sleep under the open sky. The star symbolizes the ideals of light, truth and knowledge, which are fundamental in the scout movement. This trefoil badge of the scouts is now used, with slight local changes, in almost every civilized country as the mark of brotherhood, for good citizenship, and friendliness. The trefoil refers to the three points in the Scout Oath. Its scroll is turned up at the ends like a scout's mouth, because he does his duty with a smile and willingly. The knot is to remind the scout to do a good turn to some one daily. The knot is the simple or overhand knot. The arrowhead part is worn by the tenderfoot. The scroll part only is worn by the second class scout. The badge worn by the first class is the whole badge. WILLIAM TILLMAN—HERO In June, 1861, the Federal Schooner, "S. J. Waring," was captured by the Confederates. Three of her crew were retained, one being William Tillman, a Negro. He was told he would be sold on reaching Charleston. Alone he captured the captain, alone he captured the mate, secured his revolver and drove the other four of the prize crew below deck. He then armed two other colored men after unchaining them, put the enemy in irons and headed for New York. Encountering a storm he forced the rebels by threats of instant death to help man the schooner, arriving in New York five days later. He was awarded $6000 prize money.

It is almost inconceivable that a reputable Episcopal clergyman would attribute unsurpassed intellectual and spiritual strength to any man who holds these views, regardless of the race to which he happens to belong. But it is quite inconceivable that any well informed man should attribute to a mongrel of white and black intellectual powers equal to those of the most intellectual white man. That man is simply foolish who will contend that, at this time, a negrid strain can produce intellectual giants equal to those of the white races. Scientific investigation has clearly demonstrated that such a thing is impossible. Many muatts of the DuBois type are remarkably agile mentally. A part of this heredity, from the white side of their ancestry. Part of it is sublimation of the inherent cunning of the black side of their ancestry. But since the black races are, as the science of ethnology clearly shows, intellectually inferior to the white races, a blend of inferior and superior could not produce a product surpassing the superior element in it. It is these very intellectual mongrels who constitute the greatest menace to the maintenance of a pure white race in America. By the flashiness of their superficial intellect they inspire the "obesisance" of white men such as the New York clergyman. And every time that a white man makes such obesisance to a jungle idol, the negro whose mentality is scarcely above that of the ape feels that he is a little nearer to his ambition of taking a white woman to his couch. The forces which work for the maintenance of a pure white race in America find their most difficult problem in such men as the New York clergyman. These men who debase their minds by "negro worship" are much more difficult to deal with, and much more dangerous to white civilization than are those who debase their bodies by cohabitation with negro wenches. The white man who lives in concubinage with a negro woman can sometimes be sent to jail. In any event, he may be ostracized and by force of public opinion driven from the community. Not so the man who abandons himself to, as Mr. Paddock says, "emotional" intercourse with the inferior race. How we are to deal with him is a problem yet unsolved. That he will be delt with, and that effectively, in the end, goes without saying. What survives of the white race must emerge from the struggle with the black as pure as before the struggle began—and it can no more tolerate a worshipper of the negro "intelligentzia" than it can tolerate the debased white man with a negro paramour.
