METHODIST BODIES Advance Nearer Organic Union THE CONGRESSIONAL FIRST ST., S. E. METI JOINT COMM GROUND WO MERGER JOINT COMMITTEE LAYS GROUND WORK FOR BIG MERGER OF CHURCHES The Union of the African Methodist Episcopal and the African Methodist Episcopal Zion churches came considerably closer to a realization here Wednesday, January 5th, when the joint commission of the two churches met to work out the plan of union. The commission met at John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church Wednesday morning, January 5th. Two sessions were held. Bishop J. Albert Johnson of the A. M. E. Church was elected chairman and presided at both sessions. Every member of the commission from both churches was present. The C. M. E. church's representatives did not come to Washington and thereby failed to participate. The attitude of this denomination on the union could not be learned. However, the A. M. E. and the A. M. E. Zion bodies are hoping that the C. M. E. body will favor the union. According to the declaration of principles and public pronouncement issued, the joint commission went on record as favoring the merging of these two great church bodies into one organic whole. To work out the idea of the organic union, the commission was divided into three committees, each committee having a definite problem to work out and to report upon at the next meeting of the commission which will be in June. While no definite meeting place was selected for the next session, Pittsburgh was tentatively agreed upon. It was brought out that the summer session of the Bishop's Counsel of the A. M. E. Church will meet in that city the fourth week in June. The Bishops' Counsel of the A. M. E. Zion body has not as yet selected its meeting place, so it was agreed to try to persuade the Zion bishops to also select Pittsburgh. It is planned that the joint commission meet before the P' hope Counsel so that its report can (Continued on page NEGRO WELFARE MEETING HELD AT ASBURY CHURCH The Maryland Intercollege Commission will hold a church, at the Ashbury K.

R. Wright, Jr., secretary and title manager of the Citizens Bank. The merger leaves Philadelphia with one large bank, and marks the first time in the history of the race that two colored banks have merged their facilities. The merger was made possible by Major R. R. Wright, Sr., president and treasurer of the Citizens and Southern Bank and Trust Co., and J. C. Asbury, president of the Keystone Bank. The Citizens and Southern Bank and Trust Company began business in 1920 as a private bank owned by Major Wright, Sr., Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., and Miss Lillian M. Wright. In 1923 it incorporated as a stock company with nearly four hundred stockholders. Last year it opened as the first trust company in the North, with a paid in capital and surplus of $156,250. It has a trust department, a title insurance department, and commercial and savings departments. --- PUBLISHED WEEKLY H. U. GUY H. U. Given $318,000 Appropriation GUY RESIGNS FROM SCHOOLS SUPERINTENDENT RECOMMENDED GUY'S TRANSFER The board of education at its meeting at Franklin School last Wednesday, accepted the resignation of Nathaniel L. Guy as a teacher in the public schools of the District of Columbia, effective January 3 last. Mr. Guy had been in the system for 26 years. The resignation was brought about by the recommendation of Superintendent Frank W. Ballou that Mr. Guy be transferred from the position of teacher in charge of oral expression and dramatics to that of ungraded and incorrigible boys at the Summer-Magruder School. Superintendent Ballou gave as his reason for his recommendation the attitude of Mr. Guy to I. Miss M. E. Gibbs, administrative principal of Stevens School; L. P. Perry, supervising principal; Eugene A. Clark, assistant superintendent in charge of elementary schools, and Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools in charge of divisions 10 to 13. The trouble leading to the resignation of Mr. Guy is said to have its origin in his request for a revision of his rating. Upon the refusal of Mr. Perry to revise his rating, Mr. Guy appealed to Mr. Wilkinson. After consideration of his work in the last school year, Mr. Wilkinson changed the rating of Mr. Guy from excellent to eminently successful. Mr. Perry is said to have become incensed and sought a pretext for filing charges against Mr. Guy. He charged that Mr. Guy did not teach the first eleven days of school. Mr. Guy explained that he followed his usual custom of getting a list of the classes and arranging the day and hour for his work so that there would be no conflict with the work of other special teachers or with the order of the schools where departmental work is carried on. Mr. Guy says that he did this on his first visit to each of the ten schools in which he was supposed to teach. BANQUET GIVEN TO MANAGER OF WHITELAW HOTEL A banquet in honor of Colonel R. W. Robinson, manager of the Whitelaw Hotel, was given on the evening of January 2 by the Young Men's Business Association at the Whitelaw dining room. Among the guests present were Professor William B. West, dean of men at Howard University; W. C. Nixon, president of the Whitelaw Hotel Corporation; Professor J. C. Bruce, Attorney Dickerson, Harry O. Bright, associate chief justice of Tau Delta Sigma law fraternity; Messrs. Birk and Brown of the Whitelaw dining room, and Honorable J. E. Perkins. The principal speaker was Charles Henry Manney. He paid high tribute to the success of Colonel Robinson in bringing the Whitelaw Hotel to the front after it had seemingly been going down three years ago. The program was preceded by a dinner and followed by the presentation of a bouquet of flowers to Colonel Robinson from the hotel dining room waitresses. The first and second prize essays are published on page eight, in the section styled the "Kiddies' Corner." --- (Continued on page 2) WASHINGTON, D. G. FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1927 OFFICE: 920 U STREET, N.W. COLORED BISHOPS BARRED FROM BANOUET GIVEN BY LAW ENFORCEMENT GROUP The National "Citizens' Committee of One Thousand," whose purpose is stated to be "to arouse public sentiment in favor of orderly government, obedience to all laws, good citizenship and true patriotism," met at the Willard Hotel here Thursday minus any Negro participants. Bishop G. C. Clement of the A. M.E. Zion Church, of Louisville, Ky., and Bishop A. L. Gain, on the A.M.E. Church of Baltimore, Md., were members of the committee and had been urged in special letters to attend. Bishop Clement was one of the vice-chairmen. "Discrimination" is the cause of these men's non-attendance. In the regular routine, Bishop Clement obtained two tickets for the banquet which was to be part of a continuous session of the committee. Last Saturday, Mr. Carlton M. Sherwood, executive secretary of the committee, phoned to Bishop E. D. W. Jones, who resides in this city, and asked him to be in touch with Bishop Clement and ask him if he would remain away from the banquet, as some trouble had developed as to the serving of Negroes. Bishop Clement deferred his reply until he arrived in Washington. Then he had a conference with Mr. Sherwood, and again he was prevailed upon not to attend the banquet, whereupon he declared that he would attend all sessions of the committees, which was his right, or he would not participate in any of its affairs at all. Bishop Gaines was reached in Baltimore and told of the discrimination. He immediately assured Bishop Clement that he would stand with him in his position and would not attend any of the sessions unless the ban was lifted. Bishop Clement was solidly supported in his stand by the Bishops, ministers and laymen who were in this city in attendance at the meeting of the joint committee on organic union of the A.M.E. Church and the A.M.E. Zion Church. Great indignation was expressed at the meeting of this committee against such practices, and it is highly probable that these two great churches will refuse to take any further part in the affairs and activities of this Citizens' Committee. It was significantly pointed out by one prominent Bishop that this organization claims to be one for orderly government and obedience to all laws, but at the same time itself, breaks one of the fundamental laws of the land by discrimination against people, because of their color. CENTRAL NORTHWEST ASSOCIATION TO MEET The Central Northwest Citizens' Association will hold its next monthly meeting Tuesday evening, January 11, at the Cleveland School, Eighth and T Streets, MASONIC WIDOWS REMEMBERED The Charity Club of the Templar Crusaders distributed one-hundred garments to the widows and orphans of deceased Masons, and also to the inmates of the Methodist Home for the aged, under the supervision of Rev. and Mrs. C.

WILBERFORCE INVESTIGATION MOVES EAST The investigation into the affairs of Wilberforce University, centered in the East for two days last week, when Sheridan A. Brusseaux, head of the Keystone National Detective Agency, came here in search of evidence to substantiate charges of graft and dishonesty in the conduct of this school. A further search for evidence in the East was abruptly halted Thursday afternoon. Mr. Brusseaux was recalled to Columbus, Ohio, where the taking of testimony in connection with the charges was begun Thursday morning before State Examiner E. Frank Brown. This forced Mr. Brusseaux to abandon his plans which would have carried him to Baltimore, Md., Cheyney, Pa., and New York City. Mr. Brown, before whom the testimony is being taken, was appointed an examiner under the bureau of inspection and (Continued on page 4). NEWBOYS' CLUB HAS ITS QUOTA OF 50 MEMBERS The John R.

A.A.C.P., through its president and secretary, Neval H. Thomas and A. H. Pinkett, after an unsuccessful attempt to get the president of the Riggs Market, P Street, between 14th and 15th Streets, Northwest, to remove the sign reading, "For White Ladies Only," from above the public to the open insult and advising them to take actions to public toilet in the market, are calling the attention of the force the removal of the sign. The N.A.A.C.P. represents called upon the president of the market more than a month ago, and nothing has yet been done about the sign. It is believed that co-operation of the colored people who trade at the market will be effective in getting the sign removed. "DEATH TRUCK" DRIVER HELD BY THE GRAND JURY The grand jury Monday returned a long list of indictments, four of which charged first degree murder and a fifth manslaughter. William W. Everhart was indicted for manslaughter in connection with the death on November 25 last, of Joanne E. Terry, 8-year-old daughter of Dr. and Mrs. E. C. Terry, 3217 Eleventh Street, Northwest.

U. Let our classified column rent that vacant room. Call Potomac 1667. 20 U STREET, N.W. Appropri SCHO SENATE CONG HOUSE IN RES ENTIRE BUD TEXAS PRIMARY LAW BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT The Supreme Court of the United States was asked Tuesday to reverse the action of the United States district court for the western district of Texas dissuading a suit for $5,000 damage brought by Dr. L. A. Nixon, of El Paso Texas, against C. C. Pernon and Charles Porras, election officers, for preventing him from voting in a Democratic primary. The case involves the validity of an act of the legislature of Texas which provides that a Negro shall not be permitted to participate in a Democratic primary election in the state of Texas. This case reached the Supreme Court on a writ of error. The district court dismissed the case on a motion of the defendants. The plaintiff, aided by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, filed his petition for a writ of error, which the Supreme Court allowed. Attorneys for the plaintiff claim that July 26, 1924, a general primary election was held in Texas to select candidates for precinct, county, district and state offices, also Congressmen and a United States senator on the Democratic ticket. Dr. Nixon declared that he was of the Democratic political faith and was a qualified voter but was denied the privilege of voting in this primary because he was a Negro. The refusal to permit him to vote, the election officers certified, was based upon the act of the legislature of Texas which provided that "in no event shall a Negro be eligible to participate in a Democratic primary election held in the State of Texas and should a Negro vote in a Democratic primary election, such ballot shall be void and officials are herein directed to throw out such ballot and not count the same." This statute, attorneys for the plaintiff argued, is in violation of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Federal Constitution. They contended that, regardless of the decision in the Newberry case, a primary is not an election, and further that the prohibition placed upon the states by the fifteenth amendment is not confined to general elections but also prohibits any discrimination which denies or abridges the right to vote on account of race or color. Counsel told the court that the Democratic primary election is the only election held in the state of Texas. They declared that the general election is only perfunctory and in effect merely a ratification of the results of the Democratic primary election married in the Suite the plaintiff by vice of El Paso B. Spirigum, of institution for the Colored People made on behalf s. Attorney Genera- nes, who is given governor of that government thirty days brief appointing the state statu The case was argued in the Supreme Court for the plaintiff by Fred C. Knollertz, of El Paso, Texas, and Arthur B. Spingarn, of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. No argument was made on behalf of the defendants. Attorney General Moody of Texas, who is going to become the governor of the state, was granted thirty days in which to file a brief opposing the legality of the state statute.

The House amendment was offered by Representative Louis C. Crampton, Republican, of Michigan. The other two items are for salaries, $150,000, and general expenses, $88,000. All three items were stricken from the Interior Department appropriation bill upon points of order made by Representative B. G. Lowery, Democrat, of Mississippi, that the appropriation to Howard University is not authorized by law. The Senate appropriations committee sought to restore all three items but withdrew the item for the construction of the girls' dormitory when Democrats began an attack on the entire Howard University appropriation.

Tracy, state auditor of Ohio, to determine the facts concerning the administration of affairs of the Combined Normal and Industrial department of Wilberforce University insofar as it affects the state treasury. Mr. Brusseauz spent the better part of two days here talking with William A. Joiner, 910 T Street, Northwest, who was the superintendent of the combined normal and industrial department at Wilberforce University from September, 1910, to July, 1920. This combined normal and industrial department was established by the State of Ohio and is maintained by it. The charge of conversion of funds was given weight here. Mr Brusseaux had in his possession an affidavit that while Bishop Joshua H. Jones, of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, which controls Wilberforce University, was ill in Pennsylvania, the pay checks of teachers were held up because of insufficient funds to the credit of the school in the Citizens Bank of Xenia, Ohio, to cover the pay roll of approximately $3,000, although contributions amounting to $80,000 had been reported on Founders' Day. This affidavit declares that the teachers were forced to wait until Gilbert H. Jones, president of Wilberforce University attended the sick bed of his father, Bishop Jones, and was able to arrange with the Citizens Bank to advance the necessary money. Annual reports of the president, secretary and treasurer of Wilberforce University to the twenty-sixth General Conference of the A.M.E. Church show a discrepancy in the amount of money paid to the church side of the school by the State of Ohio through the office of the superintendent of the combined normal and industrial department for teaching services. The voucher for payment showed that $5,000 had been paid by the State. The reports showed only the receipt of $4,000. The officers of the university claimed that this was merely an oversight on their part. Mr. Joiner told Mr. Brusseaux. In a sworn statement, Mr. Joiner declared that while he was acting as a member of the auditing committee of the trustees and while Bishop Jones was the president of Wilberforce University, there were notes given in payment for a farm known as the Holmes farm. Calling attention to the character of these notes on the floor of the board of trustees of Wilberforce University, Mr. Joiner asserted, he predicted that in case of trouble between Bishop Jones and the university, it might be difficult to show that the farm was not purchased by Bishop Jones. The notes, Mr. Joiner said, were in the name of Bishop Jones. In reply to him, Mr. Joiner stated, Bishop Jones maintained that he had been compelled to pledge his own credit but that the farm was being purchased for Wilberforce University and that it was and always would be the property of Wilberforce. The board failed to act on recommendation that these notes be in the name of the university, Mr. Joiner declared, and subsequently the farm was claimed by Bishop Jones upon his being deposed as president of Wilberforce University. Mr. Joiner added that Bishop Jones stated that he was using the money of the university in purchasing the property for the school. Mr. Brusseaux had in his possession a mass of photostat copies of vouchers, concerning which irregularities are alleged. These vouchers were paid by the auditor for the State of Ohio and the originals are in his office. They bear the signature of Richard C. Bundy, the superintendent of the combined normal and industrial department of Wilberforce University. Facts developed in the investigation will be placed before the legislature of the State of Ohio at its coming session in this month with a view to correcting the alleged evils. Wilberforce University was founded August 3, 1856. The combined normal and industrial department was established by an act of the legislature of the State of Ohio dated March 19, 1887. There have been several attempts at reform, but they failed. The latest was an investigation by the state legislature and the passage of a bill providing for the re-organization of the school, but Governor Cox vetoed this measure. In his message to the legislature setting forth the reasons for his veto, he admitted that conditions at Wilberforce University were bad and asked that the entire matter be held in abeyance until an independent investigation could be made by a committee headed by Major Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, which he planned to appoint. This investigation never materialized. Washington, D.C., 26, 1926.

Lautier The question of disfranchisement in the South flared up on the floor of the Senate Monday afternoon when Scrators T. H. Caraway, of Arkansas, and Earle B. Mayfield, of Texas, Democrats assailed Senator David A. Reed, Republican, of Pennsylvania, for his remarks in the course of an emancipation day address before the United States Societies of Allegheny County in Pittsburgh, Pa. Senator Reed charged that scarcely more than 5 per cent of the population is permitted to vote in the South. With regard to the case of Col. Frank L. Smith, of Illinois, appointed by Governor Small to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator William B. McKinley, Senator Reed threatened that "if southern Democratic Senators attack Smith, Republicans will have a lot to tell them." It was these remarks that riled the two southern Democratic Senators. In his remarks Senator Caraway did not deny that Negroes are effectively distranchised in his state. He did say, however, that it is not done by legislative enactment. "There is not a scratch of the pen oh the statute books—not a word —that limits the franchise," he declared. "Every Negro has a right to vote if he wants to vote, and I do not doubt but if the same inducement were offered him in Arkansas to vote that seems to be the persuading cause in Pennsylvania, he would exercise the right of franchise and vote." Scottent Caraway charged that the only time he ever saw the police force used to suppress the political activities of colored persons in his state was in 1920 at the instance of "illy-white" Republicans. "They were trying to hold a convention of about 15 or 20 officeholders in the Capital Hotel in Little Rock," he said. "Their black brothers wanted to participate in that political convention and the white Republicans did not want them to do so. Since there were more Negroes than white people they called upon the police to keep their Negro brothers away from them while they got together to distribute the Federal patronage." He added that "there were just about offices enough to go around among the white people; and if the Negroes got any of them some white man would have to go to work." In his harangue Senator Caraway argued that there was no particular stimulus for the Negro to vote in Arkansas because there is no market for votes in that state. He quoted Senator George H. Moses, Republican, of New Hampshire, who previous, to the holidays suggested that an inquiry be made to ascertain whether or not the Negro is exercising his constitutional privileges in the South. Senator Caraway wanted to show that the Negro will not vote unless he is paid. Senator Mayfield entered a denial to the charge made by Senator Reed that there were 12 counties in the state of Texas in which the polls were not even opened in the last election. "Our election laws," said Senator Mayfield, "are not written along racial lines. We have no 'grandfather' clause in our State constitution, and we have no statutes regulating the qualifications of a vote at the general election that do not apply with equal force to all alike. If the Negro does not vote in Texas at the general election, it is because he does not want to vote and not because of our election laws." Neither Senator Caraway nor Senator Mayfield made any comment whatever upon the Democratic white primary system in forces in both Arkansas and Texas. Under the rules of the Democratic party in these states only white Democrats are permitted to participate in the Democratic primaries. Nomination in the primaries in these states is equivalent to election. Having been excluded from the primary, there is no occasion for the Negro to vote in the general election. A special Senate judiciary subcommittee met Wednesday to draft a resolution authorizing an investigation of charges that Federal offices were sold to the highest bidders in southern states. This subcommittee also considered the question of initiating a separate inquiry into charges that Negroes are disfranchised in southern states. This subcommittee is composed of Senator George W. Norris, Republican, of Nebraska; Senator Richard P. Ernst, Republican, of Kentucky, and Senator William H. King, Democrat, of Utah. Following the meeting of the Senate judiciary committee Monday morning, there were indications that both inquiries would be favorably reported to the Senate. Senator Ernst wants the two proposed investigations combined. Senator Norris is opposed to this procedure. In an interview Senator Norris said: "I have no objection whatever to any investigation that Congress may decide to make regarding the disfranchisement of voters in various sections of the country. I do not believe, however, that we ought to couple such an investigation with the alleged sale of Federal offices. "There are some indications that those who are asking for an investigation of one of these subjects, are doing so in order to suppress any investigation of the other subject. If any investigation HOWARD ALUMNI TO ELECT NEW TRUSTEE Howard University alumni are engaged in selecting by ballot three of its number, whose names will be presented to the board of trustees at its June meeting for the election of an alumni trustee of the university. There are six nominees in the field. They were chosen in a primary election from a field of 225 candidates. They are Rev. George Frazier Miller, president of the General Association, Brooklyn, N. Y.; Miss Nellie M. Quander, Washington, D.C.; Emory B. Smith, alumni and field secretary; Dr. Charles H. Garvin, Cleveland, O.; J. Louis Taylor, Washington, D. C., and W. Justin Carter, Harrisburg, Pa. Both the primary and final election of the alumni are conducted under rules prescribed by the board of trustees. A committee, consisting of two members of the alumni association, one representative of the alumni at large, an alumni trustee and the alumni and field secretary, has charge of the balloting. The committee conducting the present election is composed of Mrs. Alma J. Scott and Miss Nellie M. Quander, representing the alumni association; J. Louis Taylor, representing the alumni at large; Dr. Sara W. Brown, alumni trustee, and Emory B. Smith, alumni and field secretary. Mrs. Scott and Miss Quander were appointed by Rev. George Frazier Miller. Dr. C. Sumner Wormley is serving in the place of Dr. Brown, who is in New York City. This committee agrees upon a primary ballot. It is mailed through the office of the alumni and field secretary to all graduates of the university whose addresses are known. In the primary six alumni are chosen. The primary balloting begins October 1. The ballots are kept in a locked box in the university post office until the date designated for counting them. On this specified date the committee meets in the office of the alumni and field secretary and counts the ballots to determine the six alumni having the highest votes. The six alumni having the highest number of votes are notified and upon their indication of their willingness to be candidates, their names are included upon the final ballot. Upon approval of the committee in charge of the final ballot is mailed to all graduates of the university. They vote for three of the six nominees. At a date stated on the ballot, the committee again meets in the office of the alumni and field secretary and counts the returns, which are kept in a locked box in the post office until the committee is ready to make its count. The names of the three persons receiving the highest number of votes are presented to the board of trustees. The board at its meeting in June elects one of the three final nominees as an alumni trustee. There are three alumni trustees, the term of one expiring each year. This method has been in operation for three years. The first alumni trustee elected under it was Dr. Sara W. Brown in 1924. She was elected to fill the unexpired term of Dr. J. H. N. Waring. In 1925, Dr. C. Sumner Wormley was elected for a full term of three years. In 1926, Dr. Brown was re-elected for a full term of three years. This is the first time that Emory B. Smith, alumni and field secretary, has permitted his name to go upon the final ballot. He has been one of the first six each year, but he has declined because of his official connection with the university. He thought that there might be an impropriety in his candidacy. Upon his declination the person whose name was next in order was moved up, making the six candidates upon whom the alumni were privileged to vote. This year, Mr. Smith declined to withdraw his name. He gives as his reason for not doing so that the next two persons in the order of the ballot were also employees of the university and that there has been no ruling by the board of trustees against the candidacy of alumni who are employees of the university. There have been but two instances in the history of the university in which the question has been raised. The first case was that of Dr. F. J. Shadd in 1883. The other was that of Mr. Smith in 1924, 1925 and 1926. In both of these cases the candidacy was voluntarily withdrawn. Mr. Smith believes that it is a question for the board of trustees to decide, and that any question at this time regarding the propriety of his selection is premature because it is by no means certain that he will be one of the highest three whose names will be presented to the board of trustees. In order that he may not be regarded as influencing the count in any way, he has requested the committee in charge to name any other alumnus as his proxy on the committee at the time of the ballots are counted. A total of 3.800 ballots have been mailed to alumni and as many additional ballots will be sent out as new alumni addresses are received at the university. is made of either one of these alleged practices, it ought to be thorough and complete, with the object of getting at the real truth, and I do not want to take any action that would enable either side to prevent a full exposure of any wrong-doing that may be discovered."

Arnold NASHVILLE, TENN., Jan. 3— The old year is no more. Still, while it was with us, it undoubtedly carried some joy, pleasure, and happiness, along with a bountiful amount of success in the theatrical presentations of the various Theatre Owners' Booking Associations houses. And these, too, being of a far better and higher grade of amusements than has ever been offered in or during, any season's presentations. Some actors and producers have been registering a kick about it being difficult to get bookings. Nothing is difficult if you have something to offer that carries worthy recognition. One hundred per cent of the theatre enthusiasts are from Missouri, you've got to show them. You cannot do this with something that has no box-office pulling powers to it. And the writer, too, could name a host of attractions now touring over the enterprising circuit of the T. O. B. A. that have long stood the acid test of perfection. Anyone can produce a show but will it, once it goes on tour, meet the theatre going public's approval unless it is thoroughly equipped with scenery and costumes? And this, too, has a lot to do with the success of any show. Outside of this, with these good qualities to back up the shows, there is every indication that the T. O. B. A. will assure the producer of from thirty to thirty-five weeks of consecutive bookings. But first, like the man from Missouri, you've got to show the T. O. B. A. No, there is no sense in just piling anything that comes along onto a circuit. No booking association, whether it be white or colored, if it's one that ambitiously wants to climb in the limelight of excellence, will just grab LINCOLN THEATRE U Street, N.W.

It's these very kind that have won for them a host of amusement admirers. As for the new season of 1927—not far beyond the horizon looms the unmistakable mark of success, as far as a better and greater line of theatrical attractions are concerned. In fact, it might be said that 1927 will be as full of surprises as old Santa Claus's Christmas bag. The Mid-City Theatre located at 1223 Seventh Street, Northwest, Washington, D.C., is the T. O. B.

Liberal Progressive Independent SOUTHERN ELECTORAL CONDITIONS There is no ground upon which to base any expectation that there will be any investigation into suffrage conditions in the Southern states growing out of the Smith case in Illinois and the Vare case in Pennsylvania. Ever since the days of Nelson W. Aldrich, who was a senator from Rhode Island, it has been the custom of Northern Republicans, whenever Southern senators and representatives take positions or questions relating to Northern interests and practices that Northern senators and representatives want to remain undisturbed, to threaten to look into Southern electoral conditions, though nothing has ever been done about it. In 1906, when it was proposed to amend the interstate commerce law by enlarging the powers of the Interstate Commerce Commission, the interests represented by Senator Aldrich were opposed to the proposed changes. Tillman of South Carolina was in charge of the bill, and the other Southern senators were lied up with him, together with enough Western Republicans to give a majority for the proposed law, which ultimately passed. While the measure was pending, Senator Aldrich exploited the Southern situation, but to no effect. In the matter of the Eighteenth Amendment it has been sought to separate Southern representatives in Congress from the cause of prohibition by innuendoes regarding the enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. But nothing has come of it. Now that the matter of excluding from seats in the Senate persons elected by the expenditure of enormous sums of money is before the country, we hear again about Southern electoral conditions. In view of the experience of the past, we are entitled to be a little skeptical as to what will be the outcome of the matter. We might feel differently about the matter if the question of investigating Southern electoral conditions with a view to excluding from seats in Congress those elected by improper methods, was presented as an independent proposition. But as things now stand, it looks as though it is a case of two highwaymen running into each other on the same side of the street, and finally entering into an agreement that both shall "work" a different side of the street, and that if this agreement is lived up to, neither will turn informer. In the editorial review of the year 1926 and forecast for 1927 in last week's Tribune, the paragraph relating to the Negro in the Union of South Africa contained a slight inaccuracy. It was there stated that while the natives (Negroes) had the right of suffrage in Cape Colony, one of the provinces of the Union of South Africa, they could not vote for representatives to the parliament of the Union. The fact is that the constitution of the Union as adopted leaves the matter of suffrage just as it was prior to the formation of the Union. The Union of South Africa consists of Cape of Good Hope (formerly Cape Colony). Orange Free State, Natal and Transvaal. In Cape of Good Hope (or as it is still generally called, Cape Colony) suffrage is based, among other things, upon a small property qualification, and natives (Negroes) having the requisite quali- PAUL ROBESON PRAISED By Wellington Adams The New York World music critic recently called Paul Robeson the finest Negro baritone he has ever heard.

REAL which it there to suf- southern Smith are case ifications have the suffrage. In Natal, while natives are not ex- pressly excluded by law from the suffrage, yet, as a matter of prac- tice, they do not exercise it. In the remaining political divisions, they are expressly denied the suffrage. The constitution of the Union of South Africa apportions representation in the parliament among Europeans and their descendants, and eligibility to membership in the parliament is limited to Europeans and their descendants. In other words, no native (Negro) is eligible to membership in the parliament of the Union. So it seems that while natives in Cape Colony may vote for representatives to the parliament of the Union, they are not eligible to membership, nor are they reckoned as a part of the basis of representation in the parliament of the Union. JIM CROW LAWS AND INTER- STATE PASSENGERS In a recent release from its offices in New York, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, announced that a suit had been commenced under its financing against the Pullman Company by a colored woman on account of her having been taken from one of the company's cars in Florida, lodged in jail and fined for alleged violation of the laws of Florida relating to the separation of the races in travel on railroads. It is most barbarous and inhuman to subject a civilized human being to the treatment to which this particular woman was subjected. That such things can and do take place in these United tates is proof positive that large groups of its white population are still in a state of superstition, intolerance and savagery. All possible means should be employed against this mode of savage treatment, and protests and efforts against it are to be assisted and encouraged. The facts in this particular case are not known in sufficient detail to warrant a full and intelligent discussion of the manner in which it is being carried on. The presence of Clarence Darrow and Arthur Garfield Hays in the case should be assurance that the correct legal course has been adopted. It is difficult for a mere layman to understand how bringing an individual action against the Pullman Company is going to put an end to the practice of state officers in making arrests in Pullman cars of interstate passengers for alleged violation of state laws forbidding white and colored passengers to ride together in railroad coaches. To the untechnical mind it would seem that a case made and brought through appeal from conviction under one of these statutes to the Supreme Court of the United States would settle the question of the application of these state statutes to interstate passengers in such a manner as to establish a principle one way or the other as to the right of local officers toutes to interstate passengers in cars. A civil suit for damages will hardly touch the question of the authority of state officers making arrests in such circumstances. concert at Armstrong on the 18. Hope we can muster up that much music pride with strangers in our midst. Omissions In reviewing music events of 1826, in this column last week we inadvertently omitted naming the Burleigh Singers, Philharmonic Choral Male Chorus, Men's Chorus of Third Baptist Men's Club, Asbury M.E. Choir, Shiloh Baptist Choir, Nineteenth Street Baptist Choir, and the installation of a four-manual pipe organ at Shiloh Baptist Church. Also the big charity program of local and out-of-town musicians at Metropolitan A.M.E. Church; Joseph H. Douglas recitals, and the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Choir. All of these, in addition to those previously mentioned, with possibly others not named, helped make the year just closed a banner music year in Washington. We regret the omissions and anglorize. AS THE K.K.K. THINKS (An insigt of the kind of fabric of which the KU KLUX KLAN is made, can be gleaned from the following doggerel rimes which appeared in a Klan paper, and which was sent to the Tribune from Tennessee.) Oh Lord, we noble K. K. K.'s come now beseeching thee, To give us power over and grant to us this plea: Oh Lord, do keep the Nigger down, let darkness cloud his path. The Jews and Catholics, set them back, send down on them a wrath. For generations we had slaves, till Lincoln set them free, Our domination now they seek and social equality: Thou knowest Lord that we are first, Thou hast ordained it thus, Don't let such aggregation rise, for they will prove a cuss. You made us their superior, you made us lily white, The Niggers our inferiors, their skin is black as night. They are striving hard in every way, to set us for a pace, But make the Niggers, Lord we pray, to know and keep his place. They are getting too intelligent, or anxious for a race, In this white man's government, right in the white man's face. We've tried our best both day and night, to force them to the wall, To make such laws and amendments to cause the Niggers fall. We've clipped their wages, cut their rights, they rise in spite of all But we are in the fight to win, the battle now is on. We'll wade through blood up to our chin, to keep the Nigger down. We'll send our noble K.K.K. to Legislative hall. The Nigger is patriotic, of this there is no doubt, But from a vote and equal right, we've sworn to keep them out. He has a record ready one, he's true to uncle Sam, But ere we will our dogmas quit, democracy be damned. We like to sit in idleness and see the Nigger work, Just as the days of slavery, but now he wants to shirk, We disfranchise and segregate, with brute force crush 'em down We have our constitution made, The Ku Klucks know no bound. We're in for wide-world K. K. K. that chafes not our conceit, But niggers as our countrymen, we've sworn to never treat, The Holy bible we will change, to suit our whims and deeds, On "Mark of Cain" and Noah's curse our guilty conscience feed. But thou oh Lord, are kind to us, Purposes are true, We want the length and breath of earth, to just a chosen few. Break down the Catholics and the Jews, cast out the sons of Ham, And we will spread the joyful news, Hosanna to the lamb, If thou, oh Lord, will hear my prayer, And answer it right, We'll thank the will We'll thank thee till the day we die, afighting Niggers then, To us oh, give a glorious crown, for Jesus sake. Amen. ROLAND HAYES FEELS BREATH OF SCANDAL ROLAND HAYES FEELS BREATH OF SCANDAL "Nevertheless, the Vienna papers do not restrain their disgust and impatience. Their columns are still full of what appears to them to be a scandalous affair, the romance of the white countess with the black singer, Roland Hayes." That's the conclusion to a press story going the rounds as culled from a colored newspaper and re- A. printed from a paper of another race. It goes on to tell the inside story of a romantic love affair between the colored singer and an Austrian countess who is a famous beauty. Here are some extracts for reflection: "In Vienna he has charmed all feminine hearts, . . . the singer captured the heart of the well known Vienna beauty, Countess Helena Kolydo. The countess upon seeing and hearing the tenor, fell head over heels in love with him. Afterwards, she invited him to her home, where he sang to her. She declared her love for him, which he fully returned. "The affair continued until the count became aware of his wife's lover and on an occasion when Hayes called, attempted to expel him from the house. Roland not only has a powerful voice to bewitch women, but, . . . he has a strong body and physique probably well known to the husbands of his loves, which he used with advantage in repulsing the count, and after handling the count quite roughly, fled with his beloved SAVE MONEY ON STORAGE.

The count then filed a suit for divorce, and his beautiful white wife, enamoured with the black singer, announced her engagement to him." Roland Hayes emphatically denies the reported engagement and declares the whole thing is a frame-up to injure his reputation in the concert world. Right here is where we join hands with Hayes, for while he still was in Europe last season, when this rumor bobbed up, we received at first hand, authentic information that it was "another one of those strange lies as usual" seeking to wreck a reputation in its ascendancy. It is a terrible thing to be framed-up by one's enemies, and Hayes knows this by now. But like all honorable human beings, Hayes goes right on winning greater laurels despite such inconsistent rumors—and remember one is never guilty until it is established before the bar of justice. We admit with others that he is one of the most graceful concert posers on the stage today, beside the wonderful effect his superb singing conveys, but Hayes seems only to manifest concern over his art and that's sufficient evidence of intelligence and character, then wh dig up scandals otherwise?

WHY SHOULD WE CELEBRATE THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION? (First Prize Emancipation Contest Essay) This is a question which many a Negro, who owes his life and happiness to the Proclamation, and its writer, is pondering. The Emancipation Proclamation to my mind, is the greatest of all documents ever penned by mortal man. It contains a theme which once meant either life or death to the Negro slave of America. It said whether the Negro slaves should be equal with white men, and allowed the same happy living, or whether they should ever be oppressed and condemned by the more fortunate race. This immortal document, the only one of its kind in the world, was penned and delivered by Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth president of the United States. The Proclamation read, that on the first day of January, the year of Our Lord, Eighteen hundred and sixty-three, all persons held as slaves in any part or designated part of a state, "Shall be then, thenceforward and forever free." And that the United States, including the military and naval authority, would recognize and maintain the freedom of slaves, and not in any way or form oppress them, in their efforts to obtain their freedom. The Proclamation declared that they, the slaves, then free men, were eligible for election or representation in the Congress of the United States. The President said that if after one-hundred days certain states had not complied with his command, such states, were in rebellion against the United States. President Lincoln gave the slaves good advice, telling them to abstain from violence except in self defense, to labor favorably for good wages. He said that such persons would be received into the armed service of the United States. This is a synopsis of the statements of the Emancipation Proclamation. It has lived in the hearts of the Negro all of these years. It has lived to see the struggle of the Negro from the bottom until almost to the top. It has witnessed the tragic poverty of the Negro as he groped in the dark and gradually found his dawn, a new and self-made man. Do you not now see why we should celebrate this immortal document; why we should hold in our highest esteem and love this Proclamation and its writer, because of the happiness it has brought us?" Lincoln looks on us and smiles, for we have fulfilled his greatest wish; we have exceeded his highest hopes, and we hope to continue to do so. Just as George Washington's birthday is celebrated, because he was the father of this nation, so ought the Proclamation's birthday be celebrated, because it is the birth of the freeing of the Negro slaves from slavery. There are many Negro men, women and even children, who do not realize that they owe their opportunities in life, their happiness, freedom and probably their own lives to that immortal document. There also are those who do thank God for the master mind of the great Lincoln and for what he did, a thing that can never be erased from the hearts or the minds of the prospering Negro American. Since we have derived so much good from this document, don't you think that we owe it some respect, some honor, some consideration? It has often been said that if something is done for the Negro. By Jean Murray he appreciates it, while it is a novelty, but he soon forgets it. How can he forget the Proclamation, That to which he probably owes his life? Then, let us, friends prove that we are the higher type; that we appreciate what is done for our good. Ought not the pictures of the terrible sufferings of the Negro slave be stamped in the minds of each and every Negro? This Proclamation ought to be to the Negro supernatural, and immortal. For I believe it was God and God only who sent Abraham Lincoln to us as a savior in the form of an ugly man, with a heart of gold. Praise it, ye Negroes, for ever and ever! Love it, I say, and forget it never!! If my influence would count anything, I would ask that the Emancipation Proclamation be taught to each and every student in the elementary grades—for are we not taught other historical things? While we are not taught this one, it is the history which means more to us, than all of the rest put together. Thank God we can, and do celebrate the Emancipation Proclamation!! Thank God for such a man as Abraham Lincoln!! And thank God for our happiness, our climb to success—and may the Negro never forget that he owes his success, his happy home to the Emancipation Proclamation!!" Yes, we celebrate it now and I hope forever!! I dedicate this verse to Abraham Lincoln: He who wrote this document, Will hold our honor and love, Until God calls us one by one To answer the roll above!! WHY SHOULD WE CELEBRATE THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION? (Second Prize Emancipation Contest Essay) By Thelma E. Crew We should celebrate and observe the Emancipation Proclamation because it freed our people who were slaves. The Emancipation Proclamation was issued on January 1, 1863. On September 22, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln, the Great Liberator or Emancipator, had issued a proclamation that he would free the slaves in all states that remained in rebellion on January 1, 1863. As not a single state returned to the Union, the final decree was issued as promised. The Border States were not included nor those parts of the seceded territory where secession was opposed. The settlement of the controversy, the winning of one of the greatest wars—the Civil War, which meant the liberation of Negro slaves in America, marked a tremendous stride in the progress of civilization. The history of slavery has been written again and again. There is little reason discussing it, because there is nothing to be gained by opening old sores and reviving old hatreds and prejudices. The sooner Negroes forget that their ancestors were slaves, the sooner white people will forget that their ancestors enslaved; the sooner that living Negroes are treated as freemen in the fullest sense, the better it will be for all. Slavery was more degrading to the masters and to white society than to the colored people, because to the slave-holders, the evils of slave-holding were greater than to the slaves themselves. So the Emancipation Proclamation made Abraham Lincoln a friend to the Negro. ANOTHER T.P.C.C.
