HOLIDAYS' TOLL INCLUDES ONE MAN BURNED TO DEATH. ANOTHER KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT SAYS RECORDS DISPROVE THEORY THAT COLUMBUS' PILOT WAS A NEGRO FIRST in Advertising and Circulation HOLIDAY SAYS RECORD THEORY THAT PILOT WAS Arthur Alfonso Schomburg and Charles S. Johnson, each read a paper before the public meeting of the American Negro Academy at the Mu-So-Lit Club, Wednesday night, December 28. Mr. Schomburg, who is president of the academy, in his paper brought out certain facts that controverted the opinion of the late Daniel Murray, that the pilot of one of Columbus' ships was not a Negro. "There were living at the time of Columbus," said Mr. Schomburg, "persons with such names as Pardo de Quiros, Prieto de Guevara and Diego Prieto. The fact that a man is known as John Black or Juan Negro or John Swartz does no more make him a person of African descent than a Negro or colored person named Walter White, John White or Henry White make him a white person. . . . "For this reason it must be understood that in the case of Pedro Alonzo y Nino there was not indicated a person of African blood but a Spaniard of rare qualifications." Mr. Schomburg said however, "This does not in any way postulate against the fact that among the sailors or attendants of the caravels, the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria, there were not any persons of African paternity. French Book Concerning books relating to the literature of Negroes, Mr. Schomburg said that the French were the first people to have printed such a book. The book was the work of the then Bishop of Blois who had done considerable work among colored people in Santo Domingo and Haiti. The book was printed in Paris in 1808. In discussing Benjamin Bannaker, Mr. Schomburg brought out the fact that Bannaker issued almanacs for 1792, 1793, 1794, 1795 and two for 1796. Of these had a Richmond, Virginia, and PROSECUTION OF LYNCHERS IS ADVOCATED PROSECUTION OF LYNCHERS IS ADVOCATED "If in every state, particularly every southern state, a fund of about $5000 were placed on deposit for combatting mob violence, lynching as a sadistic southern sport would very rapidly decline," according to Bruce Crawford, (white) editor of Crawford's Weekly of Norton, Va. Mr. Crawford has made a special study of the lynching situation in Virginia and has dedicated his paper to fight that evil. In discussing the lynching evil in his state he says: "Within the past month I have learned that a surprisingly great number of supposedly enlightened people, while unwilling to participate in a lynching, will openly advocate mob law or mildly defend it." The lynching of Leonard Woods on November 30 on the Virginia-Kentucky state line, was severely scored by Mr. Crawford in his paper. In speaking of the incident he says: Papers Explore Lynchings Papers Deplore Lynchings "In the first issue of Crawford's Weekly to appear after the Leonard Woods lynching, I published the gruesome details and called on the other Virginia newspapers to start a subscription fund among their readers for the prosecution and conviction of members of the lynching party. Virginia editors had always been prompt to 'deplore' lynchings, such deplorings having what seemed to be a perfunctory and hypocritical tone. Deplore as they did, nothing came of it. "It was partly because of this ineffectual deploring that Craw- (Continued on page 4) Read the advertisements in this paper, they offer many good bargains.

Claude Horack, secretary of the Association of American Law Schools, to the law school of Howard University, presages the effort of the school to gain admittance into that association. Professor Horack's report will be made to the executive committee of the association, whose recommendations will not be made until the annual meeting at Chicago during the last three days of December. To this convention also will go Justice Fenton W. Boothdean, and Professor Charles H. Houston, as representatives of the Howard University School of Law. --- Washington Tribune Ed. B. Henderson is Indicted on Another Charge The next day after the Board of Education had expressed its confidence in Edwin B. Henderson, director of physical education in the colored high schools, by re-instating him after a suspension of two weeks, the District grand jury returned a second indictment against him, charging him and eight others with conspiring to violate the embezzlement laws of the District of Columbia. The indictment charges that Gilbert Patton Brown, Ethel G. Wood, Edwin B. Henderson, Frank L. Ankers, Frank E. Dean, Benedict Lust, Louis Lust, John Becker and Retxer L. Herron, conspired to embezzle funds. The theory of the indictment is that these defendants associated themselves together as agents, attorneys, trustees and directors for the purpose of incorporating divers institutions of learning. The defendants did business under the name of the United States Incorporating Company, 1914 Seventh street, northwest. They secured charters, the indictment alleges, and sold them to such persons as they could induce to buy. Used Funds Personally The money they received from the sale of these charters, the indictment charges, they wrongfully converted to their own use instead of transferring and paying it to the several institutes concerned. On March 5, 1927, the United States Incorporating Company secured a charter for the Kamermayer Therapeutic Institute, Milwaukee, Wis. On this date they mailed to Joseph Kamermayer the certificate of incorporation and three degrees. One of these degrees, dated July 14, 1921, conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Psychology. Another degree, dated June 14, 1923, conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Anatomical Science. The third degree conferred upon Kamermayer was dated June 14, 1921. It conferred upon him the degree of Philosopher of Chiropractice. This degree was signed by Mr. Henderson as treasurer and one of the trustees of the Central Chiropractic College, 1914 Seventh street northwest. The Kamermayer Incident Kamermayer had received no more than a third grade common school education. The evidence, which Miss M. Pearl McCall, assistant United States attorney, presented to the grand jury, showed that Kamermayer had paid $120 for the three degrees and the articles of incorporation. Within two months he had begun to sell medical degrees. When the post office inspectors and Department of Justice agents began work on the case, he became frightened and returned the money which he had received for degrees. receives a United States Incorporating Company advertised that it could "legally charter for you a school, institution, sanitarium, hospital or university to operate anywhence, with degree giving powers." THORNTON LEWIS DIES Thornton Lewis, 70 years old, died Thursday, December 22, after a brief illness. He has been a resident of Washington since his early childhood. Mr. Lewis was born in Spotsylvania, Va., in 1857. When but a boy, he purchased a home at Fort Reno and set up a grocery store. He then entered the floral business, in which he stayed until the death of his son. Mr. Lewis was a member of the Shiloh Baptist Church for forty-eight years, serving twenty of them as a deacon and fifteen as treasurer of the church. He was a member of the J. C. McCrummall Lodge, No. 1437, of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, and served for several years as president of the Reno Citizens Association. CHAUFFEUR IS KILLED IN WILD RIDE IN AUTOMOBILE OF CHARLES H. FLAGG NEGRO EDUC'TION BENEFITS UNDER STOKES' WILL NEGRO EDUCATION BENEFITS UNDER MISS STOKES' WILL The will of Miss Olivia Egleston Phelps Stokes (white), who died here on December 14, when offered for probate in New York City last week, revealed several large donations to Negro education. Miss Stokes was noted during her lifetime for her world-wide philanthropies to all races of people. The largest amount donated to Negroes was $125,000 to Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. Hampton Institute came next with a donation of $100,000. A joint bequest of $50,000 was left to the brother of Miss Stokes, the Rev. Anson Phelps Stokes, prominent Protestant Episcopal clergyman of this city, and Major Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee. Rev. Stokes told a Tribune reporter Wednesday that this money was for the establishment of a school in Liberia, Africa. This school is to be patterned after Tuskegee. Haines Normal and Industrial School at Augusta, Ga., was left $5,000. The Colored Orphan Asylum and Association, New York City, was also left $5,000. HUSBAND KEEPS TWO WIVES, NO.2 SUES TO ANNUL Charging that at the time of their marriage her husband had a living wife from whom he had not been divorced, Mrs. Fannie M. Hawkins, 2600 Thirty-first street, northwest, is asking the District Supreme Court to annul her marriage to William Hawkins, head porter at the Raleigh hotel. Her first knowledge that her husband had a living wife came on May 26 last when he received a letter from her asking where he had procured his divorce, Mrs. Hawkins states. Although he assured her that he had been divorced, Mrs. Hawkins declares, she discovered on December 8 that he had been previously married to Hattie Kimble in Asbury Park, N.J., on October, 11, 1900, and he had not gone through the formality of securing a divorce before marrying her. Hawkins married wife No. 2 in Alexandria, Va., November 25, 1914. They have no children. Mrs. Hawkins is represented by Attorney William O. Davis. PRIZES OFFERED FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS' ESSAYS ATLANTA, Ga.—The Commission on Interracial Co-operation, with headquarters at 409 Palmer Building, Atlanta, Ga., announces the offer to American high school students of three prizes of fifty, thirty, and twenty dollars, respectively, for the three best papers on "America's Tenth Man," submitted on or before April 1st, 1928. The purpose of the offer is to interest students in a brief study of the Negro's part in American history, which, according to the Commission, has been much more interesting and creditable than is generally supposed. The Commission has prepared suggestions and data for the use of those desiring to submit papers, and invites inquiries from principals, teachers and students who may be interested. An auto crash, which occurred on the government Military Road early Sunday morning, brought to a sudden end a wild joyriding party and an equally sudden termination the life of Lee Dickerson, 25, of Radio, Virginia. Dickerson died at Emergency Hospital shortly after a collision in which the car belonging to Charles H. Flagg, local real estate dealer, was totally demolished. The man was driving the car without either the permission or knowledge of the owner. Mr. Flagg, by whom Dickerson was employed as a sort of all-round house-man, had told Dickerson to put his car into his garage. He and Mrs. Flagg had been out and had returned home late. The man took the car under the pretense of putting it away, but instead of doing so he drove off. The owner of the car knew nothing of the man's act until notified by police early Sunday morning. Woman Companion A woman, as yet unidentified, goes with Dickerson in the car, according to reports reaching Mr. Flagg. The auto with which the Flagg car collided was occupied by several white people, but as none of them were given hospital attention, they have not been found. Additional difficulty in getting more information about the affair is caused by the fact that the accident occurred at 2:30 o'clock in the morning and the road was deserted. There were no eyewitnesses with the exception of those who were in the crash, and they are at present unknown. The government Military Road, where the accident occurred is under the jurisdiction of the U. S. Government. Dickerson is survived by his mother, Mrs. Ella Dickerson, four sisters, Mrs. Lottie Rock, Mrs. Lucy Robinson, Mrs. Pauline Dockery and Miss Alice Dickerson and three brothers Fred, William and James. Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from Mount Zion Baptist Church, Arlington, Va. DELTA SORORITY BANS GUESTS AT PROM DELTA SORORITY BANS GUESTS AT PROM BY A. MELVIN TOWNSEND, JR. (Editorial Columnist Chicago Evening Bulletin) The Beta Sigma Chapter of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority cut the last thread on last evening when upon the occasion of the annual prom in honor of the grand chapter in session here many invited guests were insulted, embarrassed, chagrined, rebuked, and literally ousted from the formal dance sponsored by the local sorors. The persecuted guests received no redress upon appealing to the local president. It is an art to properly entertain guests. It is no easy task to prepare and properly arrange for a visiting delegation. And take, it from the writer, these Delta girls have a lot to learn—for the social courtesies usually extended by similar organizations have for the most part been thrown to the winds. What Its All About—Facts in the Case Let's put it in plain words. The local chapter untutored, inexperienced, and without the cooperation and guiding hand of the more sober elements in close proximity did not know how to provide escorts for their visiting delegates.

N BURN IN AU Howard May Get Large Gift if Will is Found and Filed ST. LOUISE, Mo., Dec. 29 (PNS)—The death of Dr. John W. McClellan, to have been one of the wealthiest physicians in this state, last Saturday a week ago, has caused considerable excitement among those supposed to be mentioned in the late physician's will. A frantic search is being made for the document. Dr. McClellan is said to have bequeathed $100,000 to Fisk University and Howard University at which institutions he received his training. Dr. McClellan was aged 57 years and a bachelor. Attorney Robert N. Owens, sad he drew the only known will of Dr. McClellan last March 16. The will was not found in the dead physician's safe or at the two banks where he did business. Attorney Owens said that he was considering probating a copy of the will, which he has, if the original is not found. Attorney Owens said, should no will be probated, the estate, under the law would go to the doctor's five brothers and one sister. Dr. Oral McClellan said he knew nothing of his brothers' will, but said he thought it likely the money would go to the universities, and he believed relatives would not impose this. Brother Nothes Howard Howard University (Washington, D.C.) officials were without any information last Saturday concerning the bequest made by Dr. McClellan, and knew nothing about a will. A dispatch from the deceased physician's brother, Dr. Oral McClellan, informed the officials of the school of the doctor's death. Officers of the university say that records show that Dr. McClellan was born December 12, 1870, in Tennessee, and he attended school in Lowell, Kansas. He obtained his bachelor of arts degree from Fisk University in 1890 and his doctor of medicine degree from Howard in 1909, and that while there he had an exceptionally fine record. It is said that Dr. McClellan recently evidenced his interest in the schools by placing $1,000 to the endowment funds of the school of medicine of Howard and Fisk. Among the late physician's holdings in Missouri are a commercial building at 2607 Lawton avenue, a 40-acre farm on Sappington road near Big Bend, where he is said to have made considerable money each year raising fine thoroughbred hogs, and his beautiful residence in St. Louis. SECOND WANAMAKER CONTEST TO BE HELD PHILADELPHA, Pa.—The Second Wanamaker contest under the auspices of the Robert Curtis Ogden Association of the John Wanamaker Store, of this city, offering $1000 in prizes to composers of the Negro race, has been announced. Wellington Adams, composer and teacher, who was the only contestant last year to win two prizes in the contest, is undecided this year as to whether he will enter. He is planning to submit some compositions for the Harmon Awards, which is a much larger proposition. The Wanamaker contest this year, differing in some respects from the last year's make-up, will be divided into four classes instead of five. Prizes will be awarded, ranging from $250 to 500. All compositions submitted must be in the hands of the Robert Curtis Ogden Association of the John Wanamaker Store of Philadelphia not later than midnight of June 1, 1928. MARGARET P. ELLIS DEAD Margaret P. Ellis, nee Hedgegman, died at her residence, 1745 Willard street, northwest, December 15. Funeral services were held at Salem Baptist Temple, Monday, December 19. Rev. R. D.

Gaskins attorney for Mr. Mitchell, states that he is undecided whether to file an answer or attack the petition on legal grounds. COLLEGES OUGHT EXCHANGE PROFS SAYS DR. LOCKE "The time has come for Negro colleges to establish an exchange of professors." Alain Leroy Locke, professor of Philosophy at Howard University, declared in an interview Monday. Dr. Locke has been granted a leave of absence from Howard University for the winter quarter. He is going to Fisk University where he will teach and do research work in social philosophy and on the Negro in literature. He will return to Howard University at the beginning of the spring quarter and resume his courses. "I wish it were formally an exchange of professors," he said. "It seems to me that it is time for Negro schools to develop closer relations and co-operation. The time is certain to come—the sooner the better—when Negro schools must pool their educational resources." Dr. Locke is a Rhodes scholar. He graduated from Harvard University with the degree of bachelor of arts in 1907. He attended Oxford University as a Rhodes scholar from 1907 to 1910. Oxford University conferred upon him the degree of bachelor of letters. He taught at Howard University from 1912 to 1925. The board of trustees of Howard University discontinued his services June 30, 1925, for what was termed economy measures. The services of three other teachers were also discontinued. Later the board of trustees voted to pay these four professors for the scholastic year 1925-1926. Before the opening of school last fall, Fisk University offered Dr. Locke a research professorship at a salary of $4,500 a year. The board of trustees of Howard university also offered him the professorship of philosophy, which he had previously held. While the research professorship at Fisk University was more lucrative, Dr. Locke declined it in order that he might be vindicated by a return to his former position. He also wanted to remain near New York City because of his interest in art and literature. IN WASHINGTON nearly everybody reads the TRIBUNE PRICE FIVE CENTS CIDENT X LOSES LIFE ARTED WHEN OVERTURNED Funeral services for Abraham U. Syphax, 63, who was burned to death last Sunday, were held Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. from Moon and Allen's funeral parlors. Syphax came to his death in the blaze which razed the third floor and rear second floor of the building at 503 D street, northwest, at about 11:30 o'clock Sunday night. He was found lying, engulfed in flames, on the second floor. Police believe the man had fallen through the floor of the room above when the flames had eaten their way into the supports. When discovered by the fire rescue squad, Syphax was on the floor of the law offices of the late Perrie W. Frisby. Motorcycle Policeman C. A. Smith, (white) of the sixth precinct, who discovered the blaze and turned in the alarm, carried an unidentified man out of the building to safety. The man, it is believed, was with Syphax when the place caught fire. He was sitting in a chair on the third floor overcome by smoke. Lived Alone Syphax, according to occupants of the building, lived in a sort of hermitage. He occupied as an apartment, the third floor rear room of the D street building. The flames are believed to have started when the man either dropped or knocked over a kerosene lamp. Syphax was a messenger, employed by the Washington Safe Deposit Company, 916 Pennsylvania avenue, northwest, for the past 35 years.) He is survived by a brother, Cornelius and three sisters, Mrs. Georgia S. Burnett, Mrs. Marcellina S. Newman and Mrs. Elizabeth S. Jackson. Beside the Frisby offices, two other attorneys, Armond W. Scott and W. C. Martin have offices in the building. The greatest damage done their property was to a lock on the door of the Scott rooms, which was broken by firemen. CONSTITUTION BREAKERS MUST HANG TOGETHER CONSTITUTION BREAKERS MUST HANG TOGETHER * "This is a time for all Constitution breakers to hang together," says Gale P. Kyle of Rogersville, Tenn., in an article in the New York World of December 25. Mr. Kyle made this statement in support of his reasons for advocating Governor Al. Smith of New York for the Democratic nomination for the presidency. Mr. Kyle is the son of a Confederate veteran, a prominent Democratic and a high official of the Klu Kux Klan. In his interview he points out that the Klan-ridden South must support Governor Smith because the South wants to void the Fifteenth Amendment and Governor Smith wants to void the Eighteenth Amendment. His statement in part follows: "I have also been active in the Klan in obtaining support for Gov. Smith. The Klan is dry and there is also some opposition to the Governor on grounds. However, I bring my fellow Klaner and undersand that Amendment is not the Fifteenth Amendment of the Klan are lie in house on extreme texture; that if we insist that force and power of the Federal Government is to be used to enforce one part of the Constitution in the wet East, we are setting a precedent for the use of the same forces and power in enforcing another part of the Constitution in the "White * Man's South."

Step by step, men have come upon a fairer distribution of the good things of life, through leadership in making the rules of the game, and enforcing them. As the world fills up with people, the distribution of not only the good things of life, but even the bare necessities, becomes more persistently the problem which demands the right kind of leadership. Look where you may, from the days when the land owner held sway over the rules because he had the chief source of the supply of good things, down through the earliest days in our own nation when only men of some wealth could hold office or exercise the right of suffrage, it has been the aim of those who led the groups which were outside of the charmed circle to make a way for their followers, the masses, who were so hard pressed by insistent demands that they had little time, energy or preparation for finding better modes of living. America settled upon universal education as the best means of preparing every person for that kind of leadership which his group and the nation itself, might need. By civil war, it set at rest the general scheme of super-control of the general rules of the game for the whole nation, but it left to the individual states and the people the realm in which there was doubt and variation by reason of the differences in basic industries and diverse problems. Today, our group is almost wholly outside of that charmed circle of distribution of the good things of life. In fact, the chief aim of those who aim to "keep him in his place," is to keep him outside of that charmed circle, for in so doing, they may exploit him, and apparently gain the greater share for themselves. This is an economic age. The white man has become the most successful formulator and operator of the rules of distribution. In America, he has brought about the most stupendous production of such good things for distribution. And his system of politics is most effective in salving the hurt of the exploitation by which he keeps most of the best things for himself and his kind. There is something deep-rooted in the non-white people of the world which prevents successful leadership along economic highways. Taking advantage of that seeming lack of interest, the non-white peoples have been skillfully and generally made interested in some form of hocus-pocus—some striving for ideals in human rights, some prestige and title, some remote and intangible end. Here, in America, where the non-white group has imbibed, to some extent, the atmosphre of economic striving, this group is kept forever opposing some real or fancied insult, some subtle suggestion of inferiority, some wrong or grievance which divides its attention and distracts its leadership. The few leaders who arise, are quickly subsidized and drawn away from the problems of the masses. "Divide and conquer," is the program of the whites. What the rank and file of the non-white group in America get out of the total of all the good things of life, is what slops over, what they carry away, or what is allowed to them because of their services in doing work that is irksome, menial or more expensive than its income. One by one, the occupations which the non-white group has held as exclusively its prerogative—laundering, calcimining, ditching, waiting, barbering, etc., etc.—have been made productive by means of machinery, leadership, organization and the application of capital. Those changes are forcing the non-white man into a peasantry from which his leadership makes no move to rescue him. Of all the occupied colored population of the United States, 45 in every hundred are engaged in agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry—an occupation group that is notoriously weak in political control of the rules of the game of Published Weekly at Washington, D.C., by THE WASHINGTON POST PUBLISHING COMPANY, LLC $1.56; Six months; 5 cents per week; at all newsstands, at rates furnished on distribution, and growing more so with each advance in the control by financial interests. They are chiefly laborers even within that field of lessened production as compared with manufactures, and they live in rural districts with backward ministers, poorly paid teachers in miserable schools of short term, and dominated by local school trustees and tax agents whom they do not elect. Twenty-two in every hundred of the employed colored people, are engaged in domestic service, unprotected by minimum wage or hour laws; and their number has increased, thus causing increased supply where there is decreased demand and consequent lower wages, because of the flow from agriculture, and of the tendency toward apartment house dwelling. Of the 886,000 engaged in manufacturing and mechanical industries, 775,000 are laborers unorganized to protect themselves or to improve their output, and subject to the uncertainties of day labor with its seasonal demands and its lay-offs. In trade, we have 150,000, but of that number there are 25,000 serving as delivery men, and 40,000 as store porters, where more depends upon their general servility and honesty than upon their commercial and selling abilities, if they have any. Even of the 50,000 in the public service to whom the President so graciously referred in his recent annual message to Congress as drawing 50 millions in annual salaries, there are 30,000 laborers with an average income of $1000 a year, an amount which is $1300 below the cost of the decencies for a family of five in any city in the progressive section of the country. From the days of Frederick Douglass, real leaders have urged upon our group the necessity for advancement through preparation, organization and initiative along economic highways, but always the siren voice of the politician has lured us upon the rocks of party politics with specious promises of a better day just ahead. What will 1928 bring forth? Here is a challenge to the only "New Negro" who will count in the equation of the distribution of the good things of this life. 1927 IN RETROSPECT According to our system of reckoning, another year has been completed. In all lines of endeavor, stocktaking and accounting are in order. Arrangements and dispositions should be made, or may be, have been made, with reference to the conduct of life for the coming year. This is the time when anxious enquirers are saying: "Watchman, tell us of the night, What its signs of promise are." The only standard by which we can make any forecast as to future events and developments is the knowledge of the past and of the present. As to our own group while the past is full of tragedy and the present is not entirely satisfactory, yet when we consider both of these, the evidences of progress are so distinct and clear that, one must be a hopeless pessimist not to be able to conclude that we shall make new advances and conquests in the future. During the past year, our rights as citizens of the United States have been upheld in two decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States. In one decision "the white primary" (as regulated by state law) was declared to be a violation of the provisions of the Fifteenth Amendment, and in the other, residential segregation by city ordinance or state law was again declared to be contrary to the prohibitions of the Fourteenth Amendment. It is well to remember that more decisions of courts do not invest people physically with rights. Rights are real things, but they must be maintained, and those who would enjoy them must be constantly on the watch. The production of the Negro in the world of books has been larger in volume than in any previous year. This is an indication that thought among us is in process of fermentation and that we are finding the means of expression so necessary to a people to whom the world in mass is so little sympathetic. The Negro literary man is showing skill in the mastery of the technic of writing. Having established a technic we may expect in the future that the real fruits of art will be forthcoming. In the professions the Negro is holding his own and is showing a marked increase in numbers. This is notably true in the legal profession. It is probably too early to expect that the Negro jurisconsult should make any distinct contribution to the development of law, or that the Negro physician should make any new discovery extending the realm of knowledge of human life and the means of combating disease. Still these are things which the future may bring forth. The foundation for them is laid. It is probably not well to attempt any estimate of the progress of the church. Being as it is a spiritual force, it is not meet to measure its achievements by ordinary material standards. However when many of its ministers become merely political heeleders, hangers on, or place hunters, there is reason to believe that the church is in danger of becoming a subsidiary of some political machine. Such a consummation bodes no good for the church, or for mankind. The appointment of Bishop Archibald J. Carey, of the A. M. E. Church, as a municipal civil service commission in the city of Chicago and his acceptance of the appointment was incompatible with the office of bishop, if not a positive degradation of that office. In the realm of business the advance of the Negro has been steady during the year 1927. It may be said, without exaggeration, that the Negro's knowledge of business has materially enlarged; that the number of enterprises is greater than ever before, and that the masses are gradually growing into a consciousness of the need of supporting race enterprises. The Negro press has made notable strides forward. The quality of news has increased; there has been a marked tendency to take larger views of things; there has been some tendency even toward looking at things from a world point of view. For the future, there is the need of the development of something approaching a racial journalistic policy; of the organization of a real press association free from political or personal, or institutional obligation, and of the maintenance of a news service that shall be as free from bias as is humanly possible. These are ideals, but they are ideals that should be worked into realities. The future is promising. There is struggle ahead, but the brave and the true will not quail. A Happy New Year to all! ADDED INSULT TO DEAD DEFENDERS When Shakespeare declared that winter winds were not so unkind as man's ingratitude, he probably had in mind some such experience as "the thin blue line of the Grand Army of the Republic," is now having by reason of the persistence of the sectionalists who would have destroyed the Union in 1861, and who nullify its Constitution, today. Hardly had the defenders of this nation in all its wars, and we, recovered from the nausea induced by the acceptance for the national Hall of Fame, of the bust of the former vice-president of the Confederacy, when they must witness the President of these United States, which they defended at so great a toll in money and blood, posing between two flags of the rebellious government which they had fought to destroy, forever. Coming so close after the punishment by death to Sacco and Vanzetti charged with treason, it is difficult to understand the type of mind that countenances the presence of other traitors in gray uniform and honoring the symbol of their traitorous organization and attacks. Surely men now living have not read American history and do not know that it was Andrew Jackson, himself a Democratic president held in veneration among those sons of the rebellious section of the country, who said: "Disunion by armed force is Treason"; or that treason is the most heinous crime known to the law. When we witness the red-faced and wordy indignation of Southern Senators who have voted not to admit into their sacred precinct, duly elected and accredited Senators from two of the most populous, wealthy and progressive states of the Union, while, at the same time, other members of the Southern oligarchy, which chose them as sera- tors by methods which violate both the letter and the spirit of our institutions, contrive to perpetuate their treason against the Union, we are prone not to regard the word of those who would make us believe that the South has modified its attitude of proscription of the black man; nor are we inclined to put much faith in the political party that can be flouted, insulted and outwitted by its enemies and the enemies of the Federal Union under the Constitution and the Flag. We are making commendable progress in life INsurance, but what about life ASsurance? Make health, life, usefulness a religion! Irving Fisher of Yale, shows that there are 76,000,00 people in the United States among "the poorest people," with incomes around $450 per annum. How many of those are our people? The length at which some people tell their life histories, upon every occasion, make one think that printers have no ink. Needle Points By Willie Mack After about six years in the White House, President Coolidge told Congress last week that it should pass legislation "to provide for the elimination" of the "foul crime of lynching." Oh, well, since he doesn't "choose to run" he can crack the standard joke with impunity. The Mme. C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company of Indianapolis, has invited Negro fraternity and sorority circles all over the country to be its guests at a "National Pan-Hellenic" in 1928. Quite fitting. It would (seemingly) insure that everybody were properly curried and brushed for the main business—dances, smokers, card playing and sight-seeing (there may be a few speeches). J. L. Davis, Secretary of Labor, advocates an equal wage scale for Negro and white labor. If he is sincere, who'll succeed him? Not many weeks ago a colored man addressed a group of colored young men in a "colored branch" of the Y.M.C.A. in an eastern city, on the "Color Question." Very consistent;—jim-crow victim, jim-crow branch of Y.M.C.A., jim-crow question. An Armstrong High School teacher is suing the District School Board for "back pay." She is retaining a white lawyer. The little embryonic lawyer, doctors, business men, mechanics and what-nots whom she is teaching should petition the school board for a white teacher to replace her. Not for real, oh no, but just to hear her excuses and reasons—whatever they are—for not selecting a Negro lawyer. In one column of the paper we read of the achievement of a Washington lad in the musical world, and in another column of the same issue, we read of his brother being arrested and fined after having been caught in a gambling raid. The parents of these boys probably find Dunbar's stanza, "A pint of joy to a peck of trouble, etc.," to be sad but true. Lula Ballard and Isadore Channels were referred to in a Negro newspaper as "Negro Women's Double (tennis) Champions." Is the word "Negro" descriptive of the person or of the title? The Louisville News of Louisville, Kentucky, has announced a new policy. The editor takes the pains to state that from now on the Louisville News will be a paper containing news of the "race," but not "for the race." That "if the editor keeps his mind" he will "not fight any more for the race." Pardon the parlance of the street, but "if you are afraid, Mr. Editor, run and lidel!" THE POETS' CORNER (Writers of verse, serious or light, may send to this column their "brain children." If you commune with the poetical muse, send in your verses.) A CHRISTMAS MEMORIUM By Francis D. Creighton (Mr. Creihton is a student at Howard University. This poem is dedicated to a classmate of his who died recently.) I dreamed of Christmas giving Of presents from far and wide; For over the sea, For my friends, and for me, And one for him who has died. It was a queer looking box That held this gift So unlike all of the rest. And I asked not in vain What it might contain, And was told it contained the best. It contained the tender memories And the warm thoughts in the heart. For one whom we love Who has gone above, Never again to depart. Strangest I've ever read; No more on earth could it be "To our classmate, dead, In heaven," it said, "May peace ever dwell with thee." 1821 R St., N.W. KIDDIES' CORNER 1928 A VERY, VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU! Bring happiness to yourselves and to others by making your Kiddies' Corner better this year than ever before. What does New Year's day mean to you? Primitive people living in the Northern Hemisphere, or anywhere but on the equator, for that matter, must have been mystified at the changing height of the noonday sun. Throughout the spring, the sun mounted higher each day, reaching its highest point at noon of midsummer. After that the sun's journey around the globe became shorter and slower until in December, day and night were of equal length. We marvel at the shortness of the days in winter and their length in summer. Either the longest day, the shortest day, the spring day and night of equal length, or the autumnal day and night of equal length, can be astronomically termed the beginning of a new year. The year of historical nations began at one time when the night and day were of equal length in the autumn. Because the Roman pontifex, whose business it was to see that the festivals were celebrated on the proper day, did not think of the plan of dropping a day now and then, hence, as the centuries went by, their New Year's day crept farther and farther away from its original date until in Caesar's time, it fell in June. Caesar shifted the new year to the present date by adding eighty days to "the last year of confusion." He also borrowed the Egyptian leap year to keep New Year's day in one place thereafter. Modern countries have adopted whole-heartedly Caesar's date for the beginning of the year. Even the people in the Christian church who clung to the former date for the New Year now observe Caesar's date. Different countries have different customs regarding New Year's day. The Dutch of New York first introduced into the colonies, the observance of New Year's day as one for calling and social intercourse. In many Russian cities, New Year's day is a great day. The morning is occupied with religious ceremonies after which everybody exchanges boxes of candy. Our celebration semes to be a mixture of these two customs. FORMER TRIBUNITES WRITE FOR SCHOOL PAPERS In looking over the recent issues of the two local high school papers, "The Dunbar Observer" and "The Armstrong Torch" it is observed that many on the staffs of both papers have from time to time written for the Kiddies' Corner. It would be a good idea for the readers of the Kiddies' Corner to write letters to the Corner every week. Although the space is limited, a many of the letters as possible will be published. That fact alone should cause you to write to the Corner. If your letters are published it means that you have excelled others in writing. Today a writer for your Kiddies' Corner; tomorrow on your school paper or college paper; later a writer of a big story, poem, or novel; a reporter or editor—who knows? Send in a letter, a story, a poem, or a joke now. Do you know these boys and girls whose names are unear below? "The Dunbar Observer," is published bi-weekly by the pupils of Dunbar High School. The editorial staff is composed of Edna Burke, Thelma Robinson, Rosetta Berry, Cyril Hendrickson, Evelyn Berry, Helen Scurlock, Elise Fletcher, Charles Weir, Margaret Just, Benjamin Henley, Elsie Johnson, Adelaide Webb, Suzanne Payne and Marion Jackson. The business staff: Edward Simon, Norman Williams, Grayson McGuire, Hazel Frye, Bernice Bland, Dorothy Henry, Artenia Gibson and Harriet Lee. "The Armstrong Torch" is published and printed bi-weekly by pupils of Armstrong Technical High School. The staff: James Parrish, Arthur Clyburn, Robert Murray, James Cannon, Cecelia Merriwath, George Darrrell, Lucille McCormick, Virginia Marshall, Lecha Bryant, Eya Suller, Frank Coleman, Elizabeth Langham, Dorothy Newton, Herman Scott, Paul Venture, Lucille Veney, Fannie Ransome, Legaunt Banks, Alice McDonald*, Marie Thomas, Fletcher Mohr, Paul Banks, Bertha Morten and Felton Gibson.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS LETTERING? PICK OUT THE MISTAKES AND YOU HAVE THE ANSWER No prizes are awarded for this puzzle. Work it for the fun of it. The answer is at the bottom of the last column of this week's Kiddies Corner. The prizes in the Emancipation Essay Contest will be awarded at Asbury M. E. Church, Eleventh and K streets, northwest, at the Emancipation exercises held at that church on Monday at 1:30 o'clock. This contest was sponsored by the Emancipatepin Association of the District of Columbia, and Dr. H. P. Bethea, who has the contest in charge states that the winners will be announced and prizes awarded Monday. The judges are Rev. E. R. Williams, Prof. G. Smith Wormley, and Mrs. Julia West Hamilton. ABE'S PHILOSOPHY I do the very best I know how—the very best I can; and I mean to keep doing so until the end. If the end brings me out all right, what is said against me won't amount to anything. If the end brings me out wrong, ten angels swearing that I was right would make no difference. — Abraham Lincoln. take time to tin it. That paint is too thick—there's oil there to thin it."

And Nancy—twelve years old and almost ready for High School—thinks so too. So the problem of dressing her doesn't get any easier. Nancy knows what "fashion" is, and has ideas of her own about it. This frock will please her. It combines the slightest sophistication in its scalloped shawl collar with charming naive in the short sleeved beque and shirred skirt. The scallops of the collar are repeated at the waistline. Finished with a soft bow in front, it may be made in plain or printed taffeta, crepe de chine or voile. Dotted Swiss or organdie make dainty materials for such a dainty frock, collar, bow and sleeve bands may be cradle or plain material harmonized. copyright, 1928, by Butterick) Reid's Music Store Paramount The Popular Race Record HEAR "BLIND BLAKE" SING "HE'S IN THE JAILHOUSE NOW"----A New Prisoner's Song 1225 H Street, Northeast All Kinds of Records and Piano Rolls Music House in the United States OLD RELIABLE MUSIC SHOP 3067 M St., N.

That seemed one way of co-operating effectively with those who so easily deplored. And it would be a fund with which to finance an impartial investigation, a fund to place at the disposal of a reputable agency for the bottom of the affair." Mr. Crawford stresses the importance of this fund being non-political as follows: "It must be a fund in non-political hands. Local authorities will not, for political reasons, push a lynching case. A Governor can characterize a lynching as a "dastardly crime," as Virginia's otherwise progressive Governor labeled the Woods lynching, but unless he goes over the heads of local authorities he accomplishes little or nothing. Few Governors dare rile the constituency of their far-flung lieutenants. Such being the usual case, it is hardly probable that each State, believe in State rights as it may, will cope successfully with its own mobbers. "It wuold seem, therefore, that a fund placed at the disposal of fearless investigators would greatly aid those authorities really inclined to prosecute and convict. That is why Crawford's Weekly started its fund."

WILLISTON HOLDS BANQUET About 135 friends and admirers gave Dr. Edward D. Williston, 1512 S street, northwest, a testimonial at his home last Monday night. A large 22-inch loving cup was presented him in appreciation of the work as a humanitarian and physician that he has done during his two score years of medical service in this city. Nearly a hundred of the participants visited Dr. Williston while he was in his study reading. About 7:30 o'clock several men arrived at the house, but the doctor did not become suspicious of their intent until half an hour later when a large number of men were ushered in. Though his immediate family was aware of what was happening, Dr. Williston avers he was in absolute ignorance of the proceedings until the affair took on the formality of a presentation. The cup was presented to Dr. Williston by Henry P. Slaughter, editor of the Odd Fellows' Journal, who suggested the testimonial last June. Mr. Slaughter acted as master of ceremonies and was chairman of the committee on arrangements which consisted of C. W. Banton, Jerry Barnes, Dr. W. H. Davis, John N. Goines, John T. Howe, Morrissey Koonce, Dr. D. I. Renfro and Dr. E. J. Scott. SHAW JUNIOR HIGH STUDENT SUCCUMBS Julia A.

The beauty of the place is greatly enhanced By the tall stately Cedars, you'll see at a glance; "Harrison's Villa" stands in the midst of these trees You'll see there the patrons swarming like bees. The spacious bath house is quite an attraction Without the screened veranda would cause distraction would cause distraction The Beach stretching a distance, three or more miles. When parading the beach, your face is wreathed in smiles. Cedar Haven has streets, avenues, and boulevards. When you walk through them, nothing retards The soft zephyr breezes blowing up from the water from the water These breezes invigorate, you'll be glad you didn't barter.

The bust of Lincoln is the work of Louis Mayer. It will be placed in a circle of the road, 150 feet from the main gate. The Lincoln Memorial Cemetery comprises a 185-acre plot, 3½ miles from the Capitol building on the Suitland Road (Pennsylvania avenue extended). According to its promoters $70,000 have already been expended in the development of this land. John H. Small, third, has charge of the entire landscape gardening. Thirty-five acres have already been planted in blue grass; and roadways are quickly taking form. The plots are so arranged that no spot will be more than 150 feet from a roadway. One of the interesting features of the cemetery, will be the chapel. This building will be an exact replica of the historic church at Pohick, Va. The chapel will contain 36 vaults in its rear compartment. The gate-lodge, and the gates also, will be of southern Maryland colonial design. This building will include the ground office, reception and rest rooms. About 65 acres of this land, spotted by beautiful trees, and stretching for three quarters of a mile along the Suitland road, will be reserved for a park, which can be available for church picnics. Permanency and beauty pervade the entire plan of the cemetery. Designs of all monuments must conform to a general plan. The company, on the other hand, has created a trust fund, the interest from which will insure the permanent unkeep of the grounds. CARD OF THANKS The husband, parents, brothers and sisters of Mrs. Florence W. Wise, who departed this life last week, wish to thank their many friends for the flowers and many kind expressions of sympathy shown during her illness and death. The Lincoln Memorial Corporation has a $500,000 capital, and is chartered under the laws of the state of Maryland. By an outlay of $15,000, the company has purchased and reconditioned the premises at 1351 Wallach place, northwest. In these offices is the fireproof vault, which insures the safe-keeping of cemetery plans and records.

WEEKLY SUNDAY By Charles P. Harris JOHN THE BAPTIST AND JESUS John the Baptist and Jesus (Scripture Basis: Mark 1:1,2) Golden Text: "He must increase, but I must decrease." John 3:30. The Thought of the Lesson Today's lesson is the beginning of a six months' series of studies in the book of Mark. In this series we will be studying the life of Christ as presented to the Roman and Gentile world, especially the Roman world, by Mark. He writes no prologue of Jesus like John, no preface like Luke, and no infantile history like Matthew. Infinite power in Jesus is all he sees or cares to emphasize. Old Testament prophecy as an essential introduction to the study of the life of Christ seems to be the general teaching unit of this lesson. The prophets had painted a prophetic portraiture of the promised Messiah. This divinely revealed portraiture served to make a correct identification of the Christ possible. Christ so conformed to his prophetic description as to leave no room for doubt as to His being the promised Messiah. Any logical mind believing in Old Testament prophecy must also believe in Christ as its fulfillment. Our present lesson points to Christ as the fulfillment of prophecy. It introduces Him through John the Baptist, beginning with His baptism rather than with His birth. It opens with Christ as the prophesied Messiah and closes with the Heavenly acknowledgement of His divine sonship which was given on the occasion of His baptism at the hands of John the Baptist. CHURCH and SUNDAY SCHOOL JOHN WESLEY A. M. E. ZION CHURCH NOTES New Year messages will be delivered by the pastor, Rev. H. T. Medford, next Sunday at 10:45 a. m. and 7:45 p. m., at John Wesley A.M.E.

METROPOLITAN BAPTIST DEN TESTMONI Sixteen deacons of the Metropolitan Baptist Church were presented with gold cuff links at a testimonial in their honor given at the church Wednesday night, December 21. The testimonial, given by the auxiliaries of the church, was suggested by Edward Smith, an usher. The suggestion was made with the idea of expressing an appreciation for the faithful services the deacons have rendered since the death of Rev. M. W. D. Norman, pastor of the church. A program in which interesting addresses, instrumental and vocal solos were included, featured the presentation. George W. Smith, senior deacon was given a watch fob with the Giand United Order of Odd Fellows insignia on it. The deacons of the Metropolitan Baptist Church are George W. Smith, chairman, L. E. Murray, Gilbert Baker, George E. Davis, Marcellus Davis, Barto B.

Church, corner of 7th and O Sts., N.W., who presents this week's sermon. SIN'S PENALTY "The soul that sinneth, it shall die." Eze. 18:20. The prophet was a man of large vision and by his close association with God, had a revelation of what would happen to Israel if she did not cease being disobedient to the will of God. Sin had made its way into the life of Israel and was rapidly undermining her moral and spiritual structure. The prophet was conscious of the fact that unless some warning was sounded this people from whom God expected so much would pay the penalty. What then is the nature of sin? ED. HENDERSON INDICTED ON 2ND CHARGE (Continued from page 1) in the "diploma mills" cases received from $75 to $250 for the charters they sold. The defendants had blank forms. When a charter was desired, they simply wrote into the blank form the name of the institution and and the names of the persons who would be the trustees. Teaches Many Subjects The charters empowered these institutions to teach "all fields of learning and knowledge, including letters, literature, law and all its phases, arts, music, sciences mathematics, languages, religions, theologies, spiritualism, philosophies, occultism, psycho-acccult sciences and arts, astrology, methaphysics and all phases of psychology, medicine and all cognate subjects, to wit: all phases of drugless therapeutics." These institutions were also empowered by their charters to "issue certificates, diplomas, the titles or degrees of bachelor, master, doctor, diplomat, member associate, fellow, swami, Yogi, prince, professor, reverend, and any other degree or title that may be in vogue at this or any future time." They were also empowered to issue licentiate and ordination papers to ministers, mediums, psychics, healers and psycho-occult workers; to teach all phases of physical, mental, psychic and spiritual mediumship, including "Magnetics, suggestion, hypnotism, psycho-therapeutics and divine healing." Trustee and Treasurer The name of Mr. Henderson appears in the charter of the American School of English as a trustee, the Columbian Institute of Physiotherapy as a trustee, the National University of Therapeutics as treasurer, the Universal College of Science as treasurer, the United States Naturopathic Institution as treasurer, the Columbia Health School as a trustee, the Central Chiropractic College as treasurer, the Universal Occult College as a trustee, and the Washington School of Massage and Physiotherapy as a trustee and treasurer. The first indictment was returned against Brown, Miss Wood and Henderson on December 3. It charged them with conspiring to use the mails to defraud in connection with these "diploma mills." As a result of this indictment, the Board of Education suspended Mr. Henderson on December 7. This suspension was lifted and Mr. Henderson reinstated to his position on December 21. The next day, December 22, the grand jury returned the second indictment against him and the eight other defendants. Rpresented by Hayes George E. C. Hayes, attorney, who is representing Mr. Henderson, reiterated his belief in the innocence of his client when his attention was directed to the second indictment against him. He said that the second indictment contains nothing new and was no more than was expected. He declared that Mr. Henderson is guilty of no wrongdoing under the terms of either indictment and that at the proper time a full and complete explanation of the connections of his client with these alleged concerns will be made and Mr. Henderson will be vindicated. Mr. Henderson appeared before the Board of Education last spring and made a statement regarding his connections with these "diploma mills." He was told to resign. Complying with the directions of the school board, Mr. Hayes stated. Mr. Henderson resigned from all of these institutions in last May. It has an undermining power; it it is like a cancer of the stomach, it eats into the vital parts of the spiritual structure, thus weakening the structure until it falls a mass of ruins. The loser is one who heeds not the warning. Sin, like Jezabel, paints its face. Man's inability to see the deceitfulness of sin is one of the fruits of it. It robs men of their spiritual and moral health and yet, fatters them with a hectic flush; it beggars them, and yet tells them that they are increased in gory. It soothes while it stabs, it stabs while it soothes. Does sin always mean anguish grief, remorse? Sin commits often has put out the light of God in the soul and silenced the warning appeal. Right and wrong do not mean anything; lust has taken the place of love; adultery has caused to hide her face with the mask of deception. When this happens, the soul can go on in sin without anguish, grief, or remorse. The consequences of sin are what? This mighty demon has cursed the world. It has thrown up a barrier between ourselves and God. But for her, sorrow would be unknown and our hearts would be unborn by pang. The remedy—Christ, the Cross, repentance, and faith in the crucified and risen One. There are some persons who think it much easier to bury a sin than to repent of it. It is a very hard thing to hide a sin. It is like hiding a seed or a root in the ground. It draws strength in its concealment and finally forces itself out into the open. Sin needs to be dragged out of its hiding place. Whoso covereth his sins shall not prosper, but he that confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. (Continued from page 1) Philadelphia imprint. In his early maniacs, Bannaker advocated a league of nations for peace, and they also carried much propaganda against slavery. Mr. Schomburg's researches revealed the information that the American Antiquarian Society of Worcester, Mass., has a copy of a Bannaker almanac with a woodcut of Bannaker and an account of his life. Bannaker's Start As to Bannaker's early training, it was developed that Mr. George Ellicott, a white man living in his community, lent Bannaker copies of Mayer's Tables, Ferguson's Astronomy, Leadbetters' Lunar Tables and some astronomical instruments, but without accompanying them with either hint or in instructions as to their use. It was from these few books and instruments that Bannaker got his start. Mr. Johnson's paper on "The New Negro" was a fact-revealing document of monumental effort and research. It was exhaustive of the facts and simple and pertinent in their statement. Mr. Johnson denied that there was a "New Negro." He pointed out the effect of environment of the Negro. He said the so-called "New Negro" down in Louisiana was fighting for separate playgrounds while in New York he was fighting against them. In Chicago he was fighting for high political offices and getting them. He reviewed three periods of the development of Negro literature. In pointing out that the race has produced very few playwrights and novelists, he thought that the future in this direction was promising. He reviewed and analyzed present day poets and their work. Mr. Schomburg, who is a resident of New York City, is a book collector and antiquarian. Recently he sold a part of his collection of books, manuscripts and pictures to the New York public library for $10,000. Much of the information in his paper was derived from visits to Spain and other European countries, where he consulted many unpublished original documents and letters. Mr. Johnson is editor of Opposunity, a magazine published monthly. Mr. Schomburg's paper will be published in his forthcoming book, while it is planned to publish Mr. Johnson's paper under the auspices of the American Negro Academy.

The Tribune Sport Review Sam's Scripts Basketball, like other forms of athletics on the hill, is played under a most peculiar cloud of misrepresentation. The officials draw the line on public engagements with club teams. No independent organizations are considered when the matter of making out a season's schedule takes place. They, the athletic officials declare, are not allowed to, and in fact do not book any quints representing independent clubs. Playing the Baltimore Athiensis is merely an accident that happens—habitually. Well, well, the Community basketball team surely has a good laugh on the Elk Big Five. Community wanted to play Howard. The Elks, too, wanted to meet the Bisons. The two clubs were informed that the honor of playing the Howard University varsity would be bestowed on them, but that the games must take place or the Howard floor, with no spectators, no advertisement, and no admission charge. Community evidently read between the lines because they rejected. The Elks, however, accepted a game. It was played some time last week. The Elks, sticking to their obligation did their part. No one was told about it. The game was, perhaps not intentionally, kept from the papers. When the "Hill Top" issue of December 21 was published, lo and behold! in the first column of the paper's sport page a 9-inch story of the game including line-ups, anneared. The story carried a write-up of the game as one of the regular contests. It went on to say that though it was defeated 25-21 in its opening game, with the Baltimore Athensians—a game in which the advertisement was wide and varied, and the audience numbering nearly 500 paid a regular admission price, of which money Howard was paid a substantial cash guarantee—it came back in its next engagement and with a strong game completely bewildered the Washington Elks. Now it appears very much as if the officials at Howard take pains to carefully guard reports of games played under the "behind closed doors" condition which the team stands a chance of losing but let them win and—"Well done, me lads." In "Al's Stuff" of the same issue, E. P. Westmoreland is cited as the best referee in Washington. "He seems to see everything and is right on the job every minute" the sketch goes on to say. True enough and I might add that Westmoreland is as good, if not better, than any official in this section of the East. As a referee he sees everything the players do and naturally forms an opinion of the men—as players. He does this as a referee. As coach of the fraternity team on which the writer of that article plays, he no doubt sees everything too. In this manner, it is very likely he forms an opinion of the men—as sports. Allison Cobbs, "Hill Top" sport writer and author of that article, attempted malicious tripping on a number of occasions last Monday in the Omega-Kappa game. Twice, under the Omega basket, when Simpson took the rebound from the backboard and started up the floor he had to jump over the foot of Cobb which was thrust out with the sole purpose of spilling the "Four Horsemen" star. Omega was trailing, but from experience, with Westmoreland, the author of this column knows him to be an advocate of clean sportsmanship, win or lose. The Eastern League of Associated Basketball Clubs was formed for the purpose of doing away with "wild-cat" tactics on the part of players. Fill "blow a biatter" the league officials will soon insert a clause for the purpose of stopping the "wild cat" methods of team managers who in their desire to win use players home on vacation from school that their team might cope with the superior basketball displayed by their opponents. Eddie Davis and Slim Henderson beat the Vandals for the Carlisles Wednesday night. CARLISLES TO PLAY CAPITOLS Conway's Carlisles will meet the Capitol A. C., of Asbury Park, at the Lincoln Colonnade, Wednesday, January 4. This will be the second appearance of the local Eastern League representative before Washington fans. "Bill" Lawton, former Dunbar and Howard University star, will appear in the visiting line-up. Here the Sports Editor Presents a Passing Review of the Season of Basketball Sports Just Ended. It Portrays the Writer's Golf All over the 48 states basketball had its usual good season. The Cleveland Elks and Chicagoans send echoes from the far West while other sections of the country in their respective domains were equally well represented. We here in the East, however, know most about our own regional quints. Professional The good old Renaissance, as for a long time, towered head and shoulders above the rest of the pack in the court game. Up in the confines of their Harlem residence, the colored professional champions dealt out likings consistently to basketball teams of all classes, descriptions and colors. Their wins in the five-game series against the world champion Celtics stamped the "Rens" as a team to be respected in every nook and corner of the Union. Collegiate In the amateur and collegiate world Morgan College reigned—and that easily. The Orange and Blue team from the little school situated on the outskirts of Baltimore journeyed out from the boundaries of its campus and startled the athletic world with a most superior brand of basketball. The work of this quint, under the direction of the same Charlie Drew, was great. Near the close of the season Howard University, itself not a bad team finally secured a verdict over the Bears after three unsuccessful previous attempts. The strength of the Morgan College five rested in the wonderful morale the team possessed. Jones, Clark, Sheffy, Wheatley and Brown lived up to the demand for good condition to such a degree and Coach Drew in turn kept the lads in such a mental state as to render the team practically unbeatable. Howard University had a fairly good team, but by no means was it as good as it should have been. For some unexplained season the varsity was exceptionally poor in comparison to the material it had on the squad. They won a great majority of their games, true enough, but for the class of players they had Howard should have been Morgan's thorn-in-the-side. Down in the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association, several good combinations performed. Shaw University at Raleigh, N.C., was crowned champion. Hampton and Virginia Seminary, the latter with Eddie Davis, (Washington's pride), also showed in the game of *et* sphere, rim and cord. Girls' Teams And the women played their parts. While there was a number of good teams throughout the east (i.e., New York Blue Belts, Germantown Y.W.C.A. and Baltimore Celeriatas) those with which we are best acquainted are our local quints. As has been the case for the past several years the Y.W.C.A., with Anita Gant, Mary Stewart, Fannie Minor, etc., stood out. The Y Big 5 played havoc with other teams of the sex. However, 1927 brought out a number of good combinations among the fair ones. National Benefit Life Insurance Company, Shiloh Baptist Church and Howard University put girls' fives on the floor which exhibited a progressive brand of court play throughout. Independent The 1927 court season among independent clubs in the Nation's Capital saw the rise of a young team to unbelievable heights. The Community Yellowjackets, under the leadership of Sam Lacy made rapid strides to jump from the Y.M.C.A. League where they won the title to a place among the leaders. They challenged the Carlisles and Alcoes, heretofore the only teams considered as worthy contenders for the city championship. The Carlisles refused to meet the young aggregation under any conditions. On the other hand, the Alcoes, the title holders accepted the Yellowjacket challenge and agreed to meet the young team. Thus the city champs acknowledged a respect for the battle against heavy odds the Community boys had waged during the four years of their development. The sportsmanship the Alco team showed was commendable, even throughout the two-game series they played. Because of a refusal on the part of the Carlisle club to meet either the Alcoes or Community, the city THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1927 championship remained undecided. Although the team owned by Ewell Conway and Matt Taylor did not show the best of sportsmanship toward the other two clubs in 1927, the fact that it finished its season in impressive style places it in a position not to be denied. Their handy defeat of the strong Washington Yankees regained some of the prestige they had lost. Fraternal Different from football and baseball, basketball offers a sort of diversion for the fans who frequent the independent, high school and collegiate clashes. Rather than being compelled to see these same clubs in action all the time, the winter sport offers, the enthusiast an opportunity to join the rabble of the collegeans and co-eds at—fraternity games. Though the past season saw the falling through of the Fraternity League, which for several years had been formed by four teams, the attendants oi the Saturday afternoon games saw some very good court exhibitions. Prior to the 1927 campaign, the Kappa Alpha Psi, Omega Psi Phi, Alpha Phi Alpha and Phi Beta Sigma fraternities were organized into a circuit. With the passing of the rule at Howard University prohibiting varsity players' participating in outside games (which included interfraternal contests) it was necessary to abandon league plans. The annual Kappa-Omega game during the Christmas holidays resulted in a win for the locally famous "Four Horsemen" representing the former "frat." The game was a thriller from start to finish. Reuben Spears, whose amputated leg has ended a colorful basketball career, shot the basket, a foul goal, which decided the issue by a single point in the last few seconds of play. The "Frat Classic," the Omega-Alpua game went to the Westmoreland coached Delta Big 5, when a "stink" surrounding the handling of tickets by Alpha Phi Alpha interests seemed to demoralize the spirit of the Lightning Five. Phi Beta Sigma was weak. The lack of material in the Thirteenth street fraternity kept it from giving an exhibition worth much men- High School Douglass led the Rebate. Basketball in the Interstate High School Athletic Conference indulged in only by teams in this section resulted in the crowning of "Ducks" as the quint to reign. The Baltimore combination rose to the long sought top of the ladder by virtue of most decisive victories over both the Dunbar and Armstrong squads. (The expression "long sought" is used in view of the length of time Douglass spent attempting to reach a plane to equal the two local schools in the athletic department.) Locally the Orange and Blue five representing the Armstrong High School walked off with scholastic honors. Starting slow the Millerites improved steadily until with the playing of the initial title game, the Techites were 30 points better than the Dunbar cohorts. The Poets, experiencing one of the most disastrous court seasons in the history of the school, suffered through scholarship obstacles, which some of the most dependable players found impregnable. As is the case, sometimes, the lads who made up the team were good, but because of the lack of experienced opposition in practice scrimmage, they were unable to advance fast enough to reach the zenith of perfection before the advent of spring and baseball crowded the court game into history. Baseball Spring, arrived. Ed Bolden sauntered out to the Darby ball-yard, stuck a toe in the turf and a smile crept upward across his countenance. He ventured on tip toe to the home plate, heeled the dirt around it, walked—this time more boldly—out to the pitcher's mound, reached down, gathered in a handful of clay and stood erect fingering it. Slowly, very slowly he cast furtive glances around him as of someone being watched. "Horry," he yelled, "it's hard, it's hard," and from every crack SAMUEL H. LACY, Sports Editor LEADERS IN THE VARIOUS FIELDS OF ATHLETICS Sport National Basketball ..... Renaissance Baseball ..... American Giants Track ..... Tennis ..... Ted Thompson Golf ..... Ball Football ..... Bluefield Boxing ..... Godfrey the "Fencebusters," the "Firecrackers," or the "Bees" Nests, they could have been named. It made no difference to them. The youngsters helped form and helped keep formed an organization which bids fairs to be the mine in which the choicest diamonds may be discovered. So much for that. "Bill" Braxton and his Coleysville Tigers fights an up-hill battle in conquerer, he twelve teams in Section E, and then turned the surprising trick of trouncing the Elite Panthers in a play-off game for the title. The circuit, divided into two sections, A and B. saw a grand battle among the Panthers, Brookland Giants and Myrtle Preps for the championship of the former class and a struggle for supremacy among Colesville, the Anacostia Athletics and Huntsville in Class B. By virtue of handing the Washington Black Sox a pair of decisive setbacks, the Oriental Tigers, which team was guided by "Eggie" Greenfield, deposed manager of the first-named crew, gained the distinction of being dubbed the "Champions of the District." After running rough shod over all opposition in the Union League, the "Prides of the Point" ventured into—what the chesty and high-touted Black Sox bunch termed themselves—big time company. Having ventured, they then proceeded to lick the Northeast aggregation—good. High School The Armstrong nine, under Cato W. Adams, was the best in the market of high school nines in this region. Owing to the very little competition they received in scholastic series, there is little or nothing to mention. Dunbar had a medocre receiver, a poor hurling corps, a poor infield and one outfielder. In the and one Black team was bad—at bat, but he Relating track and field happenings is distasteful due largely to the fact that locally we were denied the opportunity of witnessing the best performers in action. As much as possible the Tribune carries local happenings in preference to that of more interest to other cities, and for that season the track world will be neglected. and crevice of the Hilldale "pill box"—like the scene of the heavy western picture where the million trillion Indians jump up from out of sight to surround the poor little unspecting paleface hero—sprang little Darby Daisies. The baseball season was on. In the professional game, the Atlantic City Bacharachs took advantage of the unfortunate Eastern Colored League clubs. The Seasiders won both halves for the undisputed championship of the East. The American Giants, after trouncing the Kansas City Monarchs, winners of the first half laid claim to the summit position in the Negro National League. Journeying east they handed the Bacharach crew a lacing in a 5 of 9 game championship series which gave them the right to the title as "Colored Worlds Baseball Champions." Here in the Eastern League, wherein most of our hearts lie, we might bring into our talk a short sketch of the team nearest our lovely Capital. The Baltimore Black Sox, made up of a bunch of experienced, hard working, energetic youngsters were under the capable guidance of our old friend, Ben Taylor, of Washington Potomac fame. With the invincible Ben at the initial sack, the reliable "Bill" Jackson at the keystone position, the sensational "Scrapy" Brown in the shortfield and the inimitable "Judge" Wilson guarding the hot corner, the Monumental City clan presented perhaps the circuit's strongest and steadiest innerwall. Pitching, the team's acknowledged weakness, proved the unsurmounted barrier in its race toward the coveted pennant. Collegiate Too much competition, in the way of tennis, track, "final exams" and spring fever always ruins this sport in the life of the campus. Howard had a very good team in so far as college teams go. With Fred Slade and "Melije" Monroe, the Bisons were capable of giving a very good account of themselves. Morris Brown, however, down where baseball is not nearly as neglected as it is in the "upper dog" schools, had a knockout of a nine. They passed through the season, so far as the writer knows, without suffering a defeat. Independent Bassball "boomed" in its 1927 season for independent clubs. Perhaps the biggest thing ever put over in the way of developing a sport in this city was the organization of the Washington Tribune Baseball League, which organization this paper sponsored. Never before in the history of the sport in the Nation's capital has it been dreamed that there were twenty-four teams, playing senior baseball in this city. That twenty-four clubs should register at the first call for membership and of that twenty-four, twenty-one remain registered throughout the campaign is a merit which speaks for itself. The "Sluggers." Local Oriental Tigers Howard Ted Thompson Jackson Roamers High School The minds of the boys no doubt was on—track. Track The story of the 1527 year in track can be easily told in a very few words. De Hart Hubbard kept breaking records. The Michigan flash startled the world with two record-breaking leaps, the most astounding of which, for 26 feet $21\frac{1}{4}$ inches, was disallowed by the Amateur Athletic Union. On May 14, the Howard meet. upon which we have depended for glimpses of the cinder path heroes, conflicted with one at Hampton Institute. This conflict seemed to injure the calibre of both meets, but as this has been "harped" on and criticized so much by me, I shall not write any more to show what I believe is the feeling of the Washington public. Cecil Cooke, Gus Moore, the Ottley brothers and Charles Majors were the most outstanding track performers to come to Washington from elsewhere this year. Of course we saw our old friends, Joe Carter, Bob Miller, Frank Thorne, Lige Williams and Ken Hill in action but with more and better opposition we could have appreciated it more and of course I could have written more. Playground track meets are becoming more numerous and with the passing of the coming season, the youngsters should gain more extensive recognition both in the press and in the minds of the public. Tennis The 1927 tennis campaign found growing interest in the National field, but a heavy decline in local enthusiasm. Ted Thompson, who learned his racquet welding in the late 'teens between Wallach street, northwest and the vacant lot now occupied by the Whitelaw Hotel, regained the national championship which honor he won in 1925 but re-inquired to Eyre Saitch in 1926. After having been defeated in the 1927 Eastern. Championships at Bordentown, by the same player who proved his nemesis in 1926. Ted recovered his stride long enough to outwit Saitch, the youthful marvel from the Metropolis and carry off the verdict at Hampton. Like in basketball, tennis finds some of the fair sex performing. In this respect we find the same young lady in the limelight who shone in the basketball world. Anita H. Gant has steadily risen from the ranks of an ordinary woman player to become a star of the first water. Blanche Winston, who is of this city and also a member of the same Y.W.C.A. basketball team, also displayed a tennis prowess capable of making many of the men "sit up and take notice." Miss Winston was the fair half of the mixed doubled team, Jones and Winston which won the National mixed doubles crown. They defeated the erstwhile combination of Downing and Seames. Lula Ballard and isadore Channels, for several court seasons have been the best Negro women players in America. The invincible Lula duplicated the feat of Ted Thompson by regaining the laurels she lost in 1926 to Isadore Channels. Miss Ballard won both the Easterns and the Nationals, however. Back to the men, now. There were so very many various tournaments and so many various winners of those tournaments and so many various interesting happenings that the writer finds it impossible or rather impractical to name the tourneys and winners in their respective orders. The most important, however, were the Easterns and Nationals, some of which winners I have described. I might add the names o' all the winners of all the events in those two tournaments. Easterns Men's singles: Eyre Saitch, New York; Men's doubles: Smith and Wilkinson, Washington; Women's singles: Lula Ballard, Philadelphia; Women's doubles: O. Washington and L. Ballard, Philadelphia; Mixed doubles: L. Ballard and Ashe; Junior singles: R. Weir. Nationals Men's singles: Ted Thompson, Washington; Men doubles: Holmes and Thompson, Washington, Women's singles: L. Ballard, Philadelphia; Women's doubles: L. Ballard and O. Washington, Philadelphia; Mixed doubles: Jones and Winston, New York and Washington; Junior singles: D. Turner. Locally, the Monumental Tennis Club at the foot of the Washington Monument found its organization this past season and bids fair to become a worth while attraction. The "Ancient Scotch Game" as it is called is gradually eating its way into the hearts of our people. While there is little that can be said owing to the few important tournaments which somehow or other have not yet found wide interest, I feel that I can hardly go on with a review without saying something about the game of "cussing." In the season just passed, more of our sanctified Negroes have "lost their religion" than ever before—and just because a golf game, fascinating and like a magnet, is drawing either our hearts to it or itself into our hearts. Harry Jackson, "King Beetle," among the golf bugs in this section of the country went down to defeat at the hands of John Ball, the Chicago, Ill., "Old Master," Ball won the national open championship for 1927. Jackson and John Shippen, America's first Negro professionals were the pioneers of the game of mashie and niblick in this region—and good pioneers they proved to be. The year 1927 capped the couple of years that golf has been on the inline among Negroes. So much for that, but oh—before leaving the golf let's mention some of the outstanding local lights. Goodwin and Honesty are without doubt the best of a good local lot. Besides these two we might recall that Harry Williams, who did very little competitive golfing in the city was runner up at the Country Club tournament. Williams is an exceptional golfer and improving with each round. By the way I almost forgot one of the greatest Negro amateurs in the country. Beltran (Pike) Barker, well known local tire dealer, handles a wicked tricked face. Among the other leaders around here are W. Carter, F. Fields, D. Mackall and F. Smith. While there is a large number of exceptional amateurs right in town, at this time I can do no more than say, "Keep up the good work." Football The year 1927 saw a good football campaign. Teams, heretofore little known and other teams, generally weak came forward to realize one of the most successful seasons in the history of the fall sport. College Outstanding among these elevens is the one representing Bluefield College Institute, Bluefield, W. Va. Harry Jefferson, formerly a grid star at West Virginia Institute and Ohio University and an all-Ohio state tackle for two years, was the team's tutor. Among the other teams to gain unusual prominence during the past year are Fisk, Virginia Seminary, Morgan College and Alabama State. The latter team rose to almost unbelievable heights when it held the chest tusk Tuskegee Tigers to a scoreless tie in what was known as the "battle of the south." Fisk brought out a team which gave a good account of itself throughout the season. Usually, little respected, the Tennessee squad held the strong Atlanta eleven to a zero draw, then matched scores with Howard. In this latter contest the Blue and White gridders were completely outclassed throughout. Virginia Seminary, with E. P. Hurt, Howard graduate at the helm and four former Washington High School players in starring roles, gave C.I.A.A. *r* as quite a thrill with an exhibition of much better football than it has displayed in quite some whiles. Morgan College, under Charlie Drew, ex-Dunbar High and Amherst College star show* decided improvement. The Eas* reached the peak of their season when on October 29 they held West Virginia to a 0-9 tie. The Greensboro, N. C. Agricultural and Technical Institute gathered in the coated honors among the college of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association. They defeated Hampton, Virginia State, Union and Virginia Seminary, four of the association's strongest eleven. The "Aggress" sent forth one of the most aggressive aggregations in the history of the school. They lost, however, to Bluefield. The College Championship then, as is always the case, must be decided through consensus of opinion. Bluefield, in the writer's mind is SEVEN Deceased No review is complete without mention of those who having starred in the line of the review have passed away to star in another firmament. Harris On Friday, January 28, Thomas (Mantyne) Harris, prominent in local baseball circles, died. The end came on his way to Casualty Hospital following a sudden seige of illness. Mantyne, as he was best known, was for 10 years one of the outstanding hurlers in the city. His performances with the Washington Giants, LeDroit Tigers, Washington Athletics, Teddy Bears and Washington Black Sox will be long remembered. On several occasions, the little idol of southwest performed credibly against some of the leading professional teams in the country. Byrd Fred R. Byrd, prominent boxing and wrestling promoter, was claimed by death, Sunday, January 30. Byrd was responsible for the making of Al Jones as one of the leading middleweight wrestlers in the country. Both Johnny Crutchfield and Kid Woody, local boxing lights, owe the amount of acclaim they have received to the efforts of Fred Byrd. He had a host of friends and throughout his illness at Walter Reed Hospital. Byrd was kept in constant good spirits. Young On April 14, a figure who though not of our local realms, was well known here, died as the result of an operation. Ulysses S. Young, whose tutoring of the Lincoln University football team from 1824 to the time of his death, was a most successful coach. During his services at the Pennsylvania institution, Young's team won one, lost one and tied one of the three Turkey Day games with Howard. The country was surprised to no little extent, when news of the death of "Lys" Young was spread. Few people knew he was sick and those who did know were under the to good health, when the end was to good health, when the end was an announced. He died 10 days after his entrance into the Johns Hopkins' Hospital. Johnson While Haywood (Speed) Johnson did not die this past year, the writer feels it a worth while mention to recall the third anniversary of his death, November 3, 1924. "Speed" as he was affectionately referred to by his great many friends, died as result of injuries received in a football game between Howard and A. & T. College, Greensboro, N.C. He played end on the Blue and White team and received an injury to his spine while tackling an A. & T. bask. Born May 8, 1904, John during his 20 years had established a remarkable record as an all-round athlete and good fellow. He was a most capable first baseman, a stellar basketball player, an exceptional end and ranked with the 3 best tennis players on the Hill. Johnson was a first year student in the Howard Medical School. He was a member of the Phi Beta He was a member of the Phil Beta Johnson graduated from Dunberv High School in the class of 1920. He was a scholar in every sense of the word. At the time of his death, Sigma Fraternity. Tiger Flowers Theodore (Tiger) Flowers died Wednesday, November 16, following a minor operation in New York. The death of the Georgia Deacon is so recent that we might easily pass up writing more about his death. We are all no doubt still familiar with that sad incident. about the best of a strong lot Many of the other critics will suffer from this opinion, and in a majority of cases vote for Tuskegee. The Alabama school's record is the most impressive of all the colleges, but with a hardy team of youngsters, new to the game, consistent, winning and the account panying plaudits, and with a bankkring zealousness for new laurels, Bluefield should have defeated Tuskegee if the teams met. High School Football in the local high schools showed an improvement over that of the 1926 season. Armstrong, which eleven walked off with the scholastic title the past year, played through the entire season without a loss. The Orange and Blue aggregation showed its heels to such high schools as present the strongest prep school quints in this section. E. P. Westmoreland, the Tech coach built his team out of a mess of raw recruits. Not more than 4 of the regulars had seen previous campaigns with Armstrong.

Dudley The year 1927 brought the amusement seekers very little new material. Of course we had several new titles for our musical comedy vehicles but they had the same old faces with the same old material with very few exceptions. I think this had something to do with the falling off of the business in the theatres. Of course we must admit that business in all lines was poor during the past year, but it was the most disastrous year in show business we have experienced for a long while. I am now wondering what the colored actors and promoters of colored amusement will have to offer for the new year. I do expect a few good shows from Irvin C. Miller, Leonard Harper, Quintard Miller and a few others, but when we stop to think of all of the theatres that need this type of attractions we are still short and it is impossible for the above menticed promoters to supply the market with all of the attractions that are needed to keep the theatres open for a while. What are we going to do? That is the vital question. I am sure that the heads of the T.O.B.A. are going to discuss the same thing at their annual meeting in January when they meet to elect new officers or re-elect the present ones. As to the booking end of the colored theatres; there must be a better working agreement between the managers of the theatres that play the bigger tabs. There are two houses in the East that upset the routing by trying to book shows independent and get them for nothing and there are about the same number in the Middle West and twice as many in the South. Each year about this time we hear all kinds of rumors about new colored circuits being organized, and this year is no exception. There are rumors of a new eastern colored circuit and also one for the South, and from what I understand the Eastern circuit will invade the Middle West, and as usual they say that this is the last year of the T.O.B.A. I have heard that for the past five years, but old TOBA is still in existence, and will be until the heads of the organization disagree among themselves. I cannot say that we had a profitable year financially in the bookings. It is the worst year we have had since the organization has been in existence. There are a lot of things I wanted to say before closing my last article for the year but time and space will not permit me to. D. L. Wycks, my general manager, is confined to his bed and has been for over a week, so it is up to your Uncle Dud to shoulder all of the work. CONSTITUTION BREAKERS MUST HANG TOGETHER CONSTITUTION BREAKERS MUST HANG TOGETHER (Continued from page 1) ordinated, and, if necessary, will be discarded. To say that the Fifteenth Amendment is being respected and enforced is to dally with the truth—Carter Glass to the contrary notwithstanding. "It is a matter of common knowledge that suffrage is being denied a part of our population because of their 'race or color or previous condition of servitude.' This is in part done by legal artifice, and when those laws fall then there is the court of last resort—Judge Lynch and the shotgun law. "We of the Klan cannot be consistent when we take the right of breaking a part of the Constitution and then call for the enforcement of another part. "I find there is a healthy sentiment among the Klan of doing away with its opposition to Catholic and Jew and to restort it on the lines of the old Klan—that Klan that saved the South during the carpetbag era. Many of our members are coming to the realization that our objection to electing Catholics or Jews to public office and our denial of the right of suffrage to the Negro constitute Constitution breaking. If one part is to be enforced 'because it is constitutional,' then the other part must likewise be enforced. To paraphrase a common saying, 'This is a time for all Constitution breakers to hang together.' Fear "Force Bill" "The Klan is alive to the danger of our position. Senator Borah's recent statement in calling for an investigation of all violations of the Constitution has done much to crystallize the Klan sentiment. The people of the South have lived under the dread of Henry Cabot Lodge's 'Force Bill,' and we do not propose to place ourselves in a position to invite this calamity. "For these reasons, among others, all the border States and some of the other Southern States will be found instructed for Smith, and he will obtain the usual Democratic majorities in the general election. He will lose some rabid drys and zealots, but he will make a corresponding gain in the Republican ranks."
