In accepting the position of standard bearer of the Republican party, he stamped himself as an exponent of the principles of Americanism, upon which this country was founded, which include equality of all men before the law, equal opportunity for all races and religious tolerance. He indicated to the voters of America that if elected he would be the president of all the people and not of any particular race or group is the interpretation of the Republicans. Literature sent out from the office of the Republican National Committee, with headquarters here in Washington state: "Prefacing his acceptance remarks with a resume of the progress and prosperity which admittedly the Negro has enjoyed along with every other racial group making up the citizenry of the Republic, Mr. Hoover set forth a program designed to effect a continuance of the advancement which has been experienced in improved home-life, education, and industry during the past eight years. "Of special interest to Negro voters, who form an integral part of the citizenry of the United States, was the statement of Mr. Hoover concerning "Equal Opportunity." While realizing that the Negro group shares directly and indirectly in the prosperity of the country at large, the leaders also realize that frequently the members of the race have suffered from the lack of the opportunity to prove their merit along with other groups. Mr. Hoover's pledge of equal opportunity, (Continued on page 2) GEORGIA SHERIFF AWARDED MEDAL ATLANTA, Ga., Aug. 16.—The Commission on Inter-racial Cooperation, with headquarters here, has awarded to Sheriff John C. Greer, of Union County, South Carolina, a handsome bronze medal in recognition of his successful stand against a mob bent on lynching one of his prisoners. The award was passed upon by a committee composed of ex-Governor Hugh M. Dorsey of Atlanta, Marshall Ballard, editor of New Orleans Item, George B. Dealey, editor of the Dallas News, and Mrs. J. H. McCoy, president of Athens College, Ala. The medal was presented to Sheriff Greer by Lewis M. Rice, editor of the Union Times. The incident on which the award was based took place on July 30, 1927, when a mob numbering 700 gathered around the Union County jail with the purpose of lynching Albert Simpson, colored, accused of the shooting of a white man Sheriff Greer, calling in his deputies and members of the local and rural police, stood off the mob until he could communicate with Governor Richards with a request for troops, who were immediately dispatched and arrived within less than a hour. In nominating Sheriff Greer for the Commission's medal, Editor Rice pointed out that his courage and resourcefulness in this emergency were fully in keeping with a distinguished family record, both in Confederate and Revolutionary times. When interviewed relative to the award, Sheriff Greer said, "My folks deserve more credit than I do; they brought me up to do my duty." THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY FIRST ST., S. E.

HOLOY ED AT EVIDEN LOUISI DII Policeman Exonerate Self-Do SMITH RA Writer Pick Imposs Cop's LOYER D D ATTACK EVIDENCE IN SHO LOUIS SMITH CON DID NOT OWN Policeman Spaulding Is Exonerated on Flimsy Self-Defense Tale SMITH RATED HIGHLY Writer Picks Flaws and Impossibilities in Cop's Testimony EVIDENCE IN SHOOTING OF LOUIS SMITH CONFLICTING; DID NOT OWN A GUN EVIDENCE IN SHOOTING OF LOUIS SMITH CONFLICTING; DID NOT OWN A GUN By Sam Lacy Evidence surrounding the shooting to death of Louis Spencer Smith by Motorcycle Policeman Ernest C. Spaulding (white) last Thursday morning, points to conditions that have aroused grave doubt as to the accuracy of the policeman's statement that he shot in self-defense. Smith was shot by Spaulding shortly after midnight last Wednesday. The shooting occurred on the grounds of the National Training School where Smith had been chased by the white policeman, first on motorcycle then on foot, from Center Avenue. Spaulding told the following version: "While patrolling my beat on Bladensburg Road near Center Avenue, I noticed a large touring car traveling toward Maryland at an exceptionally high rate of speed. I started in behind it and paced it at 55 miles an hour. Upon drawing up alongside it, I ordered the driver to stop, with which he turned it toward my motorcycle and attempted to run me down. I experienced the same thing two other times when I drew up alongside the car. After the driver's third attempt to run me down, I fell in behind him and fired a warning shot. "Again, I pulled up to the side of the fleeing automobile and again the driver attempted to run me down. Forcing me over the parkway (which runs down the center of Bladensburg Road) the man in the car then released the steering gear, and jumped out. He ran on to the grounds of the National Training School with me in pursuit. At a distance of approximately 168 yards from where he jumped out of the car, he made a move as if to draw a revolver from his pocket. Fearing for my own life, I fired and the man fell in his tracks. I took him, in the car of John T. Edwards, 3708 Thirty-fourth street, northeast, to Casualty Hospital where, upon arrival, he was pronounced dead by Dr. J. W. Hall. At the hospital, papers found on the man's body identified him as Louis Spencer Smith of 64 Simond Hill, Md." Enraged at the apparent inhuman act of the policeman, Noble F. Rushe, white manager of the Rushe Motor Co., Hyattsville, Md., where Smith worked, and whose car the latter was driving at the time of the chase, appealed to United States Attorney Leo Rover to investigate the shooting. Rushe told police authorities and Mr. Rover that he could not be convinced that Smith was guilty of any wrong whatever. He said that in 12 years Smith has worked for him, first as a cement trucker, then later as a garage helper and automobile mechanic, he had never known the colored man to commit an act which might be deemed radically wrong. un- for- age er- h both mary live aid to When police of the twelfth pre- cinct intimated that Smith might have been drunk and that he at- tempted to draw a gun on Spaulding. Ruske became indignant and told them that he was willing to make any one of them a wager that those statements were untrue. Interviewed by a Tribune report- er, Tuesday, Ruske said that he had never seen Smith take a drink of whiskey in his 12 years of association with the colored man, and that he had never "even smelled it on him." He also declared that Mrs. Smith told him she had never known her husband to own a gun, and that she doubted if he knew --- Washington Tribune PUBLISHED WEEKLY THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 17,1928 KELLY MILLER URGES SUPPORT OF HOOVER "Should Line Up on the Side of Law and Order" He Declares ADMITS G.O.P. FAULTY In a statement, Tuesday, Kelly Miller, Howard University professor and publicist, vaguely urged support of the Republican party in the Presidential election because of Hoover's position on theighteenth amendment. He advises the Negro to free himself from the motive of vindictive politics and line up "on the side of law and order, of temperance and righteousness." After pointing out the dilemma in which the colored voter finds himself because of the attitude of the Republican and Democratic parties, Mr. Miller declares that to the Negro the eighteenth amendment "is the transcendent moral issue" in this campaign. The full text of his statement is as follows: "How are you going to vote?! is the normal query among friends in these days of political uncertainty. "For Al Smith" "I am going to vote for Al Smith because the South wants Hoover,' responded a highly intel- (Continued on page 2) NO CHANCE OF "TEXAS PRIMARY" LAW IN TENN. W. L. Porter, editor of the East Tennessee News, of Knoxville, Tenn., was a visitor in the city this week on business. In discussing Tennessee politics, Editor Porter stated that Negroes supported both candidates for Governor on the Democratic ticket in the recent state elections. With reference to an article which appeared in the New York Times, Sunday, stating that as a result of the widespread voting of Negroes in a Democratic primary in Tennessee, that an effort will be made to get the State Legislature to pass a law similar to the Texas primary law which bars Negroes, Mr. Porter stated that he was not alarmed over the situation. Such legislation he said could not and would not pass. He expressed himself as being hopeful over the conditions in his state. N.M.A. PRESIDENT VISITS WASHINGTON Dr. C. V. Freeman, president of the National Medical Association, was an early arrival for the convention which was held in Baltimore this week. He arrived here Thursday evening and registered at the Whitelaw Hotel. When asked by the reporter if he, Rushe, thought the car Smith was driving was capable of doing 55 miles an hour as testified to by he policeman, the garage man said, "here's the car outside. Get in and drive it up the road yourself. We'll put tags on it for you. If you come back and tell me you got 55 miles an hour out of it, I'll give you the title to it. The car's yours," he said, "if you can do what the policeman says was done."

If it becomes necessary to raise funds to prosecute every officer who is charged with unnecessary violence with respect to property and persons, that shall be done and done quickly. Reports of brutality and violence are becoming too common, and no citizen is safe under the present regime of despicable police officers who "shoot to kill," under slight provocation. Violence is indicative of fear, and if Major Hesse can not find men of courage and discretion to man the police force of this city, he can not be expected to be supported in his use of gunmen. The police are not the law; they are guardians of the peace. If they do not know or fail to understand that, then it must be impressed upon them in ways in which it can not fail to be understood. An arrested man or woman, if colored, and occasionally when white, is liable to be brutally beaten when once within the confines of the station house. The homes of citizens are forced at unseemly hours upon slight charges. Men have been shot down when fleeing from a pursuit upon minor charges, despite the fact that their identity could be discovered easily. In some sections, it is customary to employ as policemen only those men who have a killing or two to their credit. Perhaps that custom prevails in Washington, or probably Major Hesse does not closely examine the records of those whom he袭ages. Brutality and violence have no place in the police program of a city like Washington. Intelligent direction would make it impossible for mediocre men to remain long in responsible posts where they bring down upon their heads so many complaints from good citizens as do the members of our local police force. With the absence of an industrial group, with a relatively stable population, with general peace and order, with few felonies—as Washington boasts there is absolutely no excuse for police brutality and violence. It must stop. FINLEY WILSON SCOUTS CANVASS PREDICTS OWN HIGHLAND BEACH RE-ELECTION HOMES FOR 'RIDE' FINLEY WILSON SCOUTS CANVASS PREDICTS OWN HIGHLAND BEACH RE-ELECTION HOMES FOR 'RIDE' In an interview Monday, J. Finley Wilson predicted his re-election for a sixth term as grand exalted ruler of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World at its twenty-ninth annual grand lodge session which will be held in Chicago, August 26. His re-election will be by acclamation, Mr. Wilson said. No candidate is expected to be put in nomination against him. He pointed out that the hardest fight he has had to make for re-election occurred in Richmond in 1924. Since then opposition to his re-election has diminished until this year there is practically none. George E. Bates, grand secretary, is being opposed for re-election by the Rev. W. George Avant, grand chaplain, of Durham, N.C., and James E. Kelly, of Birmingham Ala. Treasurer Opposed Two candidates are opposing James G. Carter grand treasurer, of Richmond, Va., for re-election.

After two years of operation, or in 1924, it had 3,000 deposits amounting to $100,000; in 1925 it has 17,000 deposits amounting to $1,000,000; whereas on July 1, its sixth anniversary, its statement shows 37,000 depositors throughout the country with deposits amounting to approximately $1,500,000 and having accumulated resources of $2,111,000.

Warned by the steady downpour of rain and roaring northeast wind, the scouts, under the leadership of Scoutmaster William Tancil, made all necessary preparations to cope with a storm of ordinary calibre, but the gale which struck Highland Beach assumed cyclonic proportions. At one o'clock Sunday morning, two of the scout tents collapsed, burying the occupants beneath heavy folds of cold, wet canvass. More frightened than harmed, they struggled from their entanglement, only to find themselves shelterless in a veritable torrent of rain, which was lashed to fury by a seventy-mile gale. L. Roscoe Evans, one of the Highland Beach commissioners, finally conducted the entire company to his residence where they spent the remainder of the night.

Although organized by the young business women of the District, any woman is eligible to membership, regardless of age, position or station in life. The object is to arouse and interest the young women in politics, and to encourage those who have reached their majority since the last Presidential election, temporarily residing within the District, to register and vote in their home state on November 4. The officers of the club are: Suzanna Blackwell, president; Mrs. Daisy Welch, vice-president; Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, honorary president; Mrs. Lethia B. Rucker, secretary; Miss Marileena E.

Ferdinand Q. Morton, long a Democratic leader in the Empire state, will possibly head the advisory committee. The publicity committee will be headed by Lester Walton, staff writer on the New York World. Robert J. Nelson, editor of The Washington Eagle, will be made a regional director and placed in charge of Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, District of Columbia, Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina. It is believed that Isaac Nutter, of Atlantic City, N.J., will be given a prominent post. In the west, Attorney Earl B. Dickerson will be in charge. Many other names will in all probability be added before the official announcement is made. EDNA BURKE WINS REGIONAL CONTEST Miss M.

Testimony of Two Colored Witnesses Is Discounted By that of Whites GIRL TESTIFIES Neighbor Saw Man Enter House and Heard Him Make Advances Although an 11-year-old girl living in the 600 block of Girard street, northwest, told Judge Robert E. Mattingly, that she had been criminally assaulted that she had been criminally assaulted by Harry J. Kendall (white) of 451 G street, northwest, the judge dismissed the charge in police court. Wednesday, August 15. In dismissing the case, he declared that under no conditions would he believe the testimony of the various colored witnesses. It was conflicting, he said [with statements made by white witnesses] and by no means, convincing. The white man, a laborer, employed by the Potomac Electric Power Company, was arrested by officers of the tenth precinct police station, Tuesday, August 14, when two neighbors of the child's guardians, Mrs. J. F. Smith and Mrs. Elizabeth Adams reported to them that the man had entered the house where the child lived while the child was alone. Questions Child Mrs. Adams was the principal witness for the prosecution. She testified that she was sitting in the front room of her home when through the thin wall adjoining her house with the home in which the child was attacked, she heard Kendall go on the latter's porch and ask the child if she were alone. The child answered in the affirmative, Mrs. Adams testified, and the man pushed by her on the pretense of inspecting the floor. The witness explained that the power company is running electricity through Girard street, and that several houses are being wired. Knowing, however, that it was n.t the duty of a laborer to inspect houses for wiring, and cognizant of the fact that the girl was at home alone, Mrs. Adams told the court that she began to fear for the child's safety. Once in the house, the man was (Continued on page 2) W. E. L. SANFORD IS BURIED SUNDAY Funeral services were held Sunday at Metropolitan A.M.E. Church for William E. L.

To Demand Direct Answers From Republican Campaign Heads Representatives of colored voters in 40 states will attend the meeting of the National Negro Voters' League at the Wendell Phillips High School, Chicago, Ill., August 24, J. Finley Wilson, its president, declared Monday. The purpose of this meeting, he said, is to find where the Negro stands in the Republican party. Negro voters, he stated, are disturbed at the treatment accorded Walter L. Cohen, a Republican leader in Louisiana; William (Gooseneck Bill) McDonald, of Texas; Benjamin Jefferson Davis, Republican national committeeman for Georgia until the Kansas City convention, and Perry W. Howard, Republican national committeeman for Mississippi. Lily-white delegations were seated at the Kansas City convention over mixed delegations headed by Cohen and McDonald. Davis was deposed at Kansas City. Howard was indicted shortly after the convention by a special Federal grand jury in Mississippi for alleged trafficking in Federal patronage. "All Republicans" "We are all Republicans," said Mr. Wilson, "but we want to find out whether we are going to be allowed to stay in the party. "The 'boys' decided at Kansas City," he stated, "that we had better get together and find out our status." Mr. Wilson was referring to a group of colored delegates and voters who met in Kansas City and formed a temporary organization and decided to call this meeting in Chicago to form a (Continued on page 2) $200,000 MFG. PLANT IS OWNED BY NEGROES LOS ANGELES, Cal. En routes from Los Angeles is a carload of furniture and caskets sent by the Hefflin Manufacturing Company, Inc., a Negro firm of this city, to be exhibited at the National Negro Business League Convention, August 15 to 17, in New York City. Accompanying the exhibit is Emory V. Crain, secretary of the Hefflin firm. Mr. Crain, a native of Dallas, Texas, and a resident of Philadelphia for ten years, has contributed much towards the remarkable financing of the Hefflin concern. From a small lathe turning shop, where six years ago, Leon N. Hefflin, another Texas product, began the making of furniture parts for the wholesale furniture trade, to the present mammoth furniture factory occupying four acres, with trackage valued at $125,000 a 250-foot by 100-foot brick factory, erected at a cost of $60,000, modern machinery valued at $25,000, and a $2,000 per month payroll to its nineteen employees—such is the rise of the Hefflin Company which stands as a perpetual monument as to what is possible through co-operation, pooling of finances, and efficient executive ability on the part of the Negro of today. Financed entirely by Negro capital and built by Negro labor, the Hefflin Manufacturing establishment represents an investment in excess of $200,000. At an expense of several thousand dollars the Hefflin Company has prepared 1,000 feet or more of film showing the operation of the entire plant. Mr. Crain will exhibit this film before the National Negro Business League audiences. Subscription Rates: One Year, $2.50; Six Months, $1.25.

Liberal Progressive Independent RISING BY THE THINGS THAT SEEM TO HOLD US DOWN, results in political thinking among members of our group as never before, with party division and candidates in many places; the next step is to organize and vote for them. That demands action stirred by emotions aroused by strong personalities. It can be done. ALWAYS DESIRING TO BE WHERE WE ARE NOT is a powerful urge to using the automobile, but the fact that we always carry ourselves where we go demands that we fill up with ideas of what and where, just as we fill the machine with gas and oil. Many accidents are due to the fact that the car was rolling along "empty." CANNED MUSIC FOR FEATURE PICTURES is about as unsatisfactory as canned fruit when peaches are on trees and in every market. The effect of sound upon the mind is so powerful that a government clerk recently went mad from noise. There is no substitute for the organist who could and would interpret the reel. IF THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE provided no more inspiring instances of economic progress than that of the Douglass National Bank of Chicago, and the Hefflin Furniture Manufacturing Company of Los Angeles, it would justify its sessions. What they have done, others may do, and thus advance the group, themselves, and the nation. THE SUMMER HIGH SCHOOL CLOSES WITH A RECITATION of Thanatopsis, by a student. Had this occurred during the hot spell, we could see its appropriateness; as it is, we would suggest Countee Cullen's "I have a rendezvous with life" as expressing how summer school pupils and teachers feel. PETTING IN PUBLIC The recent action of Colonel Grant, in charge of public buildings and grounds, in issuing drastic orders against petting in public places and in asking pledges from those who were apprehended, is at least novel as moral action taken by a public official. The necessity for close contact in our crowded cities imposes upon every citizen, adult or minor, restrictions in behavior that otherwise might pass unchallenged. Modern economic strain imposes upon men and women a long delay to marriage as well as restricted living conditions, but it does not change human nature. The automobile makes it possible for people to escape, for a few hours after labor, from the confines of their neighborhoods, but it does not remove the human inclinations to indulge in affectionate actions when seated close together in intimate association. Different people respond to restrictions in different ways, and some fall to regard the rights of other people when they, themselves, are seeking an outlet for their feelings. We have stopped quarrelling in public; few of us talk of our personal affairs in public; most of us do not show affection in public, but the younger generation has not yet recovered from its show of emotions, overlooked during the hysteria of war. Changes in social relations make new forms of moral action necessary. Where people will not or do not voluntarily change to conform to the newer requirements, some form of compulsion becomes wise, and laws may follow. Count Kayserling says, "America is becoming Negroid." We may be responsible for this public petting, because our young people have been accustomed to some phases of it long before the automobile came into general use. Be that as it may, Colonel Grant is to be complimented for the wise manner in which he has aimed to correct what was becoming annoying to the general public under modern conditions of city life.

Even though many of us have membership in the National Education Association, we feel keenly the necessity of the work which our Association must do for ourselves. I note what you say with reference to the fine group of well-trained teachers in Washington. Yet I have been disappointed that they have not been willing to render some service in the effort to build up this organization giving colored teachers of the country an opportunity to study themselves, and to work out plans for the improvement of Negro education throughout the country.

POLICEMAN SPAULING EXONERATED (Continued from page 1) years prior to his death, told a Tribune reporter Wednesday, that she had never seen Smith take a drink in the whole time he lived with her. She was sure he did not own a revolver, she said. Smith's widow, Mrs. Mabel Dozier Smith, when interviewed at the home of her sister, 2039 Gales street, northeast, where she has moved since the shooting, declared that her husband was not a drinking man, that he did not own a gun, and that the only reason he was on the road at that time of night was because he had just taken a friend home after a visit and was returning to his own home when shot by Spraiding. Pistol Four Hours Late A .32 calibre revolver supposedly found by Officer O. K. Stanton, three feet from the spot where Smith fell, was the main point on which Spaulding was exonerated. Stanton claimed that he made a search of the grounds, four hours later, and found the revolver. How both Spaulding and Mr. Edwards who helped to pick Smith up could have missed seeing a gun laying one yard from the body is beyond reason. Her husband, Mrs. Smith said, was a Catholic by religion, and attended a church, in the city, the name of which she could not remember as she herself is Protestant. The reporter, going over the scene of the chase, found it difficult to understand how Spaulding, at midnight, could so well enough discern a movement on the part of the man he was chasing which might lead him to believe that the fugitive was about to draw a revolver. In flight a person's arms are not held upright or horizontally, but are constantly moving backward and forward, hence it would be almost impossible to distinguish a distinct move to a pocket. Beat Another Negro Spaulding is the same policeman who on February 7, chased another Negro, Thomas Jackson, of Landover, Md., through Bladensburg road and into Maryland, and there with Motorcycle Policeman Watson Salkeld beat Jackson. Officer Salkeld is the policeman who shot and killed Raymond Milberry, of 1616 Tenth street, northwest, several years ago and was exonerated by a coroner's jury on the same testimony as freed Spaulding, last Thursday. He declared that Milberry reached for his pocket where nothing but a handkerchief was later found. KIDDIES' CORNER C. LESLIE FRAZIER. Editor By Shirley Butler (11) Once upon a time there lived in this city a little girl who was a loyal 'Tribunite. She sent letters to the Kiddies' Corner, wrote stories and verses, got her friends interested in the Kiddies' Corner, and she was a strict observer of the Tribunites' Pledge. This girl's name was Sarah. One day Sarah heard a friend use the word 'nigger." "You should never use the word 'nigger,'" Sarah reminded her friend. The girl whose name was Mabel looked up in scorn and replied, "You leave me alone, you 'nigger.'" This made Sarah angry and she walked sadly toward her home. On the way she met two more of her friends, Mary and Alice. She told them of what had taken place between the two girls. The girls felt disgusted with Mabel. After a pause Mary exclaimed, "Let's organize a club in which we shall try to prevent the use of the word 'nigger.' This may shame Mabel." The club was organized. The girls' meetings were held at Sarah's house and she was elected to be president. All of the girls in the neighborhood joined except Mabel. Even a few girls in the suburbs joined. After a time the mothers became interested and it was talked about a good deal at their sewing circles. Mabel's mother heard of it, as she belonged to this group of women who sewed for the natives of Africa. She said, "Mabel, why do you not belong to the Girls' Club?" Mabel cast her eyes on the floor but said nothing. She left the room and went in search of Sarah. She found Sarah conducting a meeting. She called Sarah aside and asked whether she could join the club if she never used the word "nigger." Sarah said, "I don't mind it, if the others agree." The others gladly consented and by the time the meeting was over Mabel thought she had been a member as long as any other girl. You may be sure she never used the word "nigger" again. Mabel's motto is, "I will never use the word 'nigger.'" Don't Say Nigger By Loretta Butler (13) Once upon a time there lived in this city a little girl who was a loyal Tribunite. She sent letters to the Kiddies' Corner, wrote stories and verses, got her friends interested in the Kiddies' Corner, and she was a strict observer of the Tribunites' Pledge. This girl's name was Sarah. One day Sarah heard a friend use the word "nigger." "You should never use the word 'nigger.'" Sarah reminded her friend, but Sarah's friend paid her no mind. That evening when Sarah went home she found her brother crying. Sarah asked, "What is the matter, brother?" He replied, "The little boy next to me in school called me a 'nigger.'" "What is his name?" asked Sarah. "John," said her brother. The next morning Sarah went to school with her brother. He pointed to John's desk. Sarah slipped a piece of paper in John's desk and went to her class room. On the paper were five words written carefully, "Never use the word 'nigger.'" After school John took the paper home and showed it to his sister. John's sister was the girl who had used the word "nigger." As she read those words she realized how bad that word sounded. She said to herself, "I will never use the word 'nigger.'" She and her brother now never use that terrible word. In trying to help one person refrain from using the word "nigger," Sarah unconsciously helped another. By Evelyn Vaden (14) Once upon a time, there lived in this city a little girl who was a loyal Tribunite. She sent letters to the Kiddies' Corner, wrote stories and verses, got her friends interested in the Kiddies' Corner, and she was a strict observer of the Tribunites' Pledge. This girl's name was Sarah. One day Sarah heard a friend use the word "nigger." "You should never use the word 'nigger,'" Sarah reminded her friend. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY. AUGUST 17. 1928 TRIBUNITE'S PLEDGE 1. I will never use the word "nigger." 2. I will learn all that I can about the history and traditions of my Race. 3. I will use my eyes and ears to detect sander against my Race, and I will champion my Race wherever I may hear such sander. 4. I will be proud that I am a Negro because God made me one, and being a Negro, I will do all that I can to add honor to my Race. "Pardon me," said Gertrude, Sarah's friend, "Jut everybody makes a mistake sometimes. I will try not to make such a mistake again. Whenever I hear anyone use the word 'nigger' I will tell her not to use this word, and I will tell her why she should not use it." So one day not long after Gertrude had been corrected, she and some of her friends were playing mothers. The friend who was the mother was whipping her children and she hit one a little too hard, she got angry. So the one who was hit, said to the other, "You black 'nigger', you just hit me again if you dare." Just as these words were uttered Gertrude stepped out of the door. "You must not use the word 'nigger,'" said Gertrude, "because it is against your race. You should never do anything that will bring your race down, but you should do all that you can to add honor to your race." Gertrude's friend promised that she would never use the word 'nigger' again, and that she would do her best to keep other boys and girls from using it. Gertrude was so proud to know that she had made another friend refrain from using the word "nigger" that she hurried to tell Sarah about it. But I don't think that Gertrude was any producer than Sarah was. —Don't Say Nigger— DEATH By Laura V.

FOR RIDE | (Continued from page 4) ee Sere ewe ;, On Sunday forenoon, the resi- dents of thé Beach resort were startled by the appearance at their cottages, in the midst of a heavy downpour, a number of rain- soaked boy seouts, begging for transportation to their homes. in Washington, Knowing that the scouts had found dry lodging dur- ing the night at the cottage of Mr. Evans, the villagers were unable to understand such solicitation. When questioned, the boys stated that they had been notified that their time at the camp had expired and they had been. directed to find means at once of returning to Washington as best they could, as the scout head could not supply them with food and shelter, Several of the boys claimed to be ‘entirely without funds, stating that it had been their parents’ under- standing that the eamp fee of five dollars a week included transporta- tion to and from the camp. Some asked for transportation as far as Annapolis, 8 distance of about five miles, stating that they had suffi- cient funds to secure railroad trans- ‘portation to Washington from that fpoint. One boy, who said he was ‘penniless, hoped to sleep in the ‘Annapolis railroad station all night and get a “lift” to Washington the next day. Given ‘Transportation ’ ‘The bedraggled youngsters, with theirfdripping equipment and rain- iden clothing and blankets, ex- ‘cited the indignation and compas- sion of the residents. All who ap- plied were given free motor trans- ‘portation to their homes in Wash- Feces: Tancil, in charge of ‘the aby expressed great surprise when told that the boys were seek- ing means to return home. He ‘stated that while it was true that the time of some of the boys had ‘expired, they were at liberty to re- main in camp until-they were able to arrange to'return to Washing- ton. ‘Taneil denied that the boys ‘had been instructed to make a house-to-house eanvas in the rain in an effort. to-find means of get- ting home. “He said that owing to the chaos resulting from the dis- mantling of the camp in the wind storm, he had been unable to main- tain a close check on the boys and was not aware that those whose time had expired were soliciting “lifts” to Washington. In view of Tancil’s statements, the residents of Highland Beach were atva loss to understand how the scouts obtained such a view of the situition as to impel them to pack their belongings and tramp from door to door in the terrific ‘storm in an effort to get home. 11-YEAR-OLD GIRL’S CHARGES OF ASSAULT DISMISSED BY JUDGE Uciibiuned Gente care 1) heard to make advances to the child and make her an offer of money. The Child’s Story When the girl testified, she told the court that Kendall actually at- tacked her. She said that he grabbed her as she followed him into the back room, and there ear- vied out his purpose, Dr, H. S. Bramwell, of Freed- men’s Hospital staff, testified that when the child was examined by him a few hours after the alleged attack, she showed no signs of violence. Kendall, when he took the stand, told the court that he went in the Girard street house for the purpose of “killing time.” He said he want- ed to steal some time from his boss and meanwhile take a drink. Mrs. Smith has manifested no little interest in the case. In addition to having young daugh- ters of her own, she told a Tribune reporter that she is an officer in the Big Sisters of St. Augustine's Catholic Church, a benevolent and welfare organization.

HERBERT HOOVER PLEDGES EQUALITY (Continued from page 1) which he declares is the right of every Amerigan citizen, meets with their aprovel and is in keeping with the desires of the leaders of that group, is a point the Hoover back- ers emphasize.” Moton-Hawkins View It has been pointed out by such leaders as Dr. Robert R. Moton, Dr, Mordecai Johnson, — William Pickens, John R, Hawkins and oth- ers that the Negro does not seek special favars or opportunities but insists upon equal opportunity with other citizens of this country'to ad: vanee along all lines of endeavor and to enjoy the rights guaranteed to him by the Constitution of the United States. Mr. Hoover has coneurred in this policy and has pledged himself to do his utmost to see that Nezroes are accorded equal opportunity, poor assert, “In concurring wholly with the Platform of the Republican party, Mr. Hoover likewise showed that he condemned zashing. and mob violence and pe ed himself and the party as voting the passage of a federal Jaw to curb and abolish this practice which has been too prevalent in this country, when he said, among other things: “ ‘Equality of opportunity is the vight of every American—rich or poor, foreign or native-born, irre- spective of faith or color. It'is the right of every individual te attain that position’ in life to which his ability and character _ entitle him, , . 2" asserted Mr. Hawkins, head of the Negro Workers in the Hoover camp. KELLY MILLER URGES SUPPORT OF HOOVER (Continued rom pape 1) ligent friend of mine. “Many colored voters will be actuated by like vindictive motive. Some will vote for Hoover because the Democrats are unfriendly te their polities] demands; others wil vote for Smith hecause the Repub- licans are indifferent to them, “The Negro voter stands dis. traught midway between former political friends and erstwhile foe impelled by conflicting feelings of fear and revenge. He must either vote for the Democrats and teach the apostate Republicans a lesson, or continue to vote with the Re- publicans in order to escape fur- ‘ther humiliation at the hands of the Democrats. “It he throws his support to Hoover he will thus put the stamp of approval upon prevalent lily. white proclivities and justify the shabby treatment by the last two administrations. “Scarecrow and Bughear” * “On the other hand, if he sup- ports Smith, a certain tragic event. uality might bring an Arkansas Democrat to the White House, Whichever way he turns, he is frightened by a scarecrow at one end of the row and a bugbear at the other, “It is ‘pathetically regrettable that his choice can not be dictated wholly by the relative value of espoused principles and policies, Up to the presenttime the Negro has had spontaneous and genuine interest and enthusiasm in but one feature of politics. But let him write the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments at the head of the vlatform ang be oares litle of whet might be written underneath, But unfortunately the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments have been eliminated from the agenda of both parties, “However, there is left the issue of prohibition, which is cutting across all former political align- ments, As many wets will support Hoover as drys will support Smith. “Moral Aggressors” “However the white voter may regard the eighteenth amendment, to the Negro it is the transcendent moral issue. Whatever inconsis- tency or insincerity the white Re- publicans and Democrats may show by professing reverence for some parts of the Constitution while maintaining guilty silence on other parts, the Negro must hold all of his character of liberty sacred and inviolate if he hopes to be the es- pecial beneficiary of any part of it. Verbal reverence for the eight- eenth amendment on the part of partially righteous defenders of the Constitution will not compound for ‘the sin of silence upon two preced- ‘ing amendments of vital impor- tanee to the integrity of the docu- ment. “By lining up on the side of law and order, of temperance and right- cousness, the Negro frees himself from the motive of vindictive poli- ‘ties and takes on the stimulating advantage of the moral aggres- | sive.” GRIST FOR THE MILL is an amusing column, edited by W.

Phone, Main 5628 The New York World Monday, July 16, carried the following news story: NEW YORK CITY—Discussing the Presidential campaign in its relation to the political and economic future of the Negro, Bishop Reverdy C. Ransom of the African Methodist Episcopal Church told the College Students' Club at St. James' Presbyterian Church, St. Nicholas avenue and 141st street, Sunday, July 15, that Gov. Smith offered greater promise than Mr. Hoover. There is little to choose between the platforms of the two parties, he said, and the personality of the candidates will be the decisive element in the campaign. This being so, "that of Gov. Alfred E. Smith is far more heartening and attractive." The Democratic Party "Whatever we may think of the Democratic Party, whose standard bearer he is, through his entire political life he has known the Negro as a factor to be reckoned with in the politics of his city and his State. We cherish no illusions with regard to his party. It is the same old Democratic Party. "But the party Mr. Hoover represents is not the same 'Grand Old Republican Party.' The Republican Party wrote the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments into the Constitution. If they have long since been evaded or nullified by the Southern Democracy it is because a long succession of Republican administrations in full control of every department of the Government has silently acquiesced in these evasions. "The Republicans inserted a spineless plank in their platform in regard to the Eighteenth Amendment, while it is silent on the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, which go to the very roots of our republican form of government—namely, the right to vote. Smith's Attitude "Republicans will find in this campaign that the Negro vote cannot be swayed, as of old, by conjuring with the name of Abraham Lincoln, while there stands before us in the person of Gov. Smith, a man who in sagacity and the common touch of human sympathy is more like Lincoln than any candidate for President since Lincoln's day. "The attitude of Gov. Smith toward the Negro has never been patronizing, or that of a demagogue. With him they are just a part of the folks, counting for what they are worth. Under him there is a brighter day of hope for all classes of American citizens." WHITE MAN FINANCIAL ADVISER OF LIBERIA John Loomis, white, former treasurer general of Santo Domingo, has been appointed financial adviser to the Republic of Liberia, under the terms of an agreement with the Finance Corporation of America and the National City Bank. The appointment was announced by the State Department last Wednesday. Under the agreement between the Liberian Government and the American bankers, the financial adviser is appointed upon the recommendation of President Coolidge. The text of the announcement by the State Department is as follows: "Word was received, August 1, at the State Department that the Liberian Government had accepted the resignation of Sidney De la Rue as financial adviser to the Republic of Liberia, and had appointed John Loomis, of Strasburg, Va., as his successor. Served in the Philippines Served in the Philippines "Mr. Loomis was recommended to the Liberian Government for the position by President Coolidge under the terms of the 1926 Loan Agreement between the Liberian Government and the Finance Corporation of America, and the National City Bank of New York, Fiscal Agents, which provides for the appointment to its service by the Liberian Government on a Financial Adviser, to be designated by the President of the United States to the President of Liberia,'and, subject to the latter's approval, appointed to that office. "Mr. Loomis has had extensive experience in governmental finance, having served in the Philippine Government service 1905-1906, and in the Customs Receivership of San Domingo. 1916-1920." Served in San Domingo "He was Treasurer General of the Republic of San Domingo, 1920-22, and after engaging in private business in Cuba for two years, became a member of the American Financial Mission to Persia where he occupied the post of Provincial Director of Finance of the three eastern provinces of Persia until March, 1928, when the Mission was withdrawn from Persia. "Mr. Loomis is fifty years of age and is married. He expects to sail for Liberia at an early date to assume his duties as Financial Adviser."

In a letter to the editor of a daily paper recently, Mr. Miller says: paper recently, Mr. Miller says "Judge Crisp, of Georgia, the son of former Speaker Crisp, in nominating Senator George at the Houston convention, stated that there had been two great moral issues in the political history of America—slavery and prohibition. Party is Wrong "Himself of slaveholding antecedents and tradition, the courageous judge declared that the Democratic party suffered defeat in the antislavery struggle because it espoused the wrong side of a moral issue; nor did he hesitate to warn his party of a similar fate on the prohibition question if it made the wrong alignment. "The Republican and Democratic conventions adopted prohibition planks that are as much alike as two Smith Brothers' cough drops. They both skilfully avoided the moral issue involved. They reaffirmed the Constitution in general and the Eighteenth Amendment in particular. If the multiplication is to apply in its integrity, why emphasize the special fact that 6 times 7 equals 42? Not the Last Word "The liquor evil is now passing through the preliminary stages of the slavery question, in the several Missouri compromises. But finally the question was not settled until it was settled right. Slavery was made a straight moral issue without room for compromise. Both parties have assumed the attitude of perfunctory enforcement of the prohibition law because it is the law, without reference to its inherent moral quality.

There are several species of snakes which dig their own holes in the ground. Ordinary snakes which go underground do not dig their own holes, but make use of natural crevices or burrows made by other creatures. Those snakes which actually excavate their own burrows have somewhat cylindrical heads, bodies and tails, a modification suited to their peculiar mode of life. The burrowing snakes include the blind snakes, the ground snakes, the coral snakes, and the shield tails.—The Pathfinder.

WARRENTON, VA., CHURCH NEWS The First Baptist Church of Warrenton, Va., concluded its "Anniversary Week" programs with a very elaborate reception on Friday night and a handsome cash presentation to the pastor on Sunday night. Both the reception and the presentation were under the auspices of the Willing Workers' Club of the church. Many friends joined with the Sunday school in its annual picnic which was held at Waterloo, Va., yesterday. It was a highly enjoyable affair. The pastor, Rev. Charles P. Harris, will fill the pulpit at both services the coming Sunday, and will represent the church at the Northern Virginia Baptist Association next week, before which body he is to deliver an address. SUNDAY SCHOOLS GIVE JOINT PICNIC The Sunday schools of Arlington County, Va., gave a very successful and highly enjoyable joint picnic of the old fashioned type on the campus of the Manassas Industrial School, Manassas, Va., on Thursday of last week. Many persons from Washington attended. The Arlington churches are becoming noted for joint *fort*. Last year they conducted a most successful revival with Baptist and Methodist churches of the county joining in. NEW MINISTERS' BODY REPORTED It is reported that a new Baptist ministers' body, known as "The Pastor's Conference of Washington," was organized at the Metropolitan Baptist Church, last week. It is reported that this new organization will hold weekly sessions at the Metropolitan church, from which the Baptist Ministers C inference voted at its final prevacation session to move. The names of the officers of the new conference could not be learned at this writing. LINCOLN CONGREGATIONAL TEMPLE NOTES At the services of Lincoln Congregational Temple, Sunday morning at the Lincoln Theatre, Dr. Hampton T. Medford will be the speaker.

The deacons will select a minister to preach the sermons Sunday. All are welcome. 5. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY AUGUST 17, 1928 THIS WEEK'S SERMON "I give tithes of all that I possess." Luke 18:12. The practice of paying tithes is very ancient; for we find that Abraham gave tithes to Melchizedek, king of Salem, upon his return from his expedition against Chedor- A. B. REV. E. W. MAXAN, who presents this week's Tribune sermon. laomer, and the four kings in confederacy with him. Abraham gave him the tithe of the booty taken from the enemy. Jacob imitated this piety of his gradfather when he vowed to the Lord the tithe of all that he migh acquire in Mesopotamia. Moses ordained titling a law at Sinai. There were three sorts of tithes to be paid by the people, besides those from the Levites to the priests. (1) To the Lewites, for their maintenance. (2) For the Lord's feasts and sacrifices. (3) There was to be, every third year, a tithe for the poor. Duet. 14:28-29. Tithing was first voluntarily made, after which it was made a law under Moses, and worked very well for some time. But it proved to be one of the subjects that he raised when the Jews wanted to choose a king. The covetous priests and punctilious scribes and Pharisees made tithing a galling yoke to the Jew, and he rejoiced when the time came for him to throw it off in the Christian church. Jesus Christ, commended tithing in the Jewish church, but did not command it in the Christian church. Doubtless because of the unscrupulous scribes and Pharisees who bound heavy burdens upon men and women who they would not even touch with their fingers. They over-rode the law by tithing herbs, and in devouring widows' houses in collecting the one-tenth. Matt. 23:14. In the New Testament, neither our Saviour, nor his apostles have commanded any thing in this affair of tithes. The only rule for giving in the Christian church is recorded in 1 Cor. 16:2; 2 Cor. 9:7. In the Jewish church tithing was a tax, and it was collected under a distress law. In the Christian church VIRGINIA CHURCH BODIES The Wayland-Blue Ridge Baptist Association is now in session with the Zion Baptist Church, Atlanta, Va., Rev. W. H. Ford, pastor. The Association went into session on Wednesday of this week with the moderator, Rev. Willis Madden presiding. The sessions thus far have been exceptionally interesting and helpful. The closing session will be held tonight. The association is made up principally of churches of the Blue Ridge mountain section of Virginia. The Northern Virginia Baptist Association is scheduled to hold its fifty-first annual session with the St. James Baptist Church, Beaton, Va., Rev. Edcar Newton, pastor beginning Wednesday; August 22, and ending the following Friday night. The moderator, Rev. Gee W. Powell, of Washington, D.C. has been ill at his home for sometime, but it is hoped that he will have recovered in time to sit in the chair at the association. PEOPLE'S CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH The Rev. Prof. L. Z. Johnson, of the Department of English, Howard University, will fill the pulpit next Sunday at 11 a.m., the pastor being on his vacation. At 6:30 the Christian Endeavor Society will hold its usual service. TRINITY BAPTIST CHURCH The pastor of Trinity Baptist Church will have for his subject Sunday morning. "The Power of a Set Purpose." In the evening he will preach on "The Righteousness that Exceeds." Rev. Waldron preached at the church Tuesday evening. The Shiloh quartett rendered music. tithing is optional, and is given cheerfully. In the Jewish church, it was a question of how much you must give, in the Christian church, it is a question of how much you are willing to give. Somebody has said, that the modern church has become so absorbed in business and missionary work, that she has, in a great measure, shifted her responsibility off on the world, which has given rise to fraternal orders, charitable institutions, and insurance companies, to take care of the widow and orphan, to care for the sick and bury the dead. While this may be true to some extent, yet, when the matter is summed up as a whole from every angle, the church may be given some credit for the organization of these splendid institutions. From funds derived from taxes the state carries on a great work in establishing free hospitals, homes for the poor and aged, and for public education, to bless humanity, which, if not directly they are indirectly the extended work of the church, because it was some Christian-hearted or good man or woman who introduced them and urged their passage by some city council or legislative body. Contrasting our manner of living today with that of the ancients who lived much cheaper, our contributions to the church and other activities, the high taxes we have to pay to run the Government, to give the one-tenth now to the church would be giving more than the ancients paid in tithing. About fifteen years ago, a certain rich man and his wife who owned a chain of five and ten cent stores in Atlanta, Ga., made $100,000 and decided that they had enough money. They agreed to live off of the interest of their money and to run the business exclusively for the church as long as they lived. This seems to be a genuine spirit of Christianity and will compare with the early Christians who sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. Acts 2:45. It is the duty of every man, woman, and child to give to the church, and anybody who is too poor to give ought to be receiving from the church, or from some charitable institution. The spirit of giving should be cultivated even at a sacrifice, because our Savior gave himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. Titus 2:4. The text is a part of the parable of the Pharisee and publican, spoken of by Jesus, in describing the two characters praying in the temple. While the former boasted of his goodness and thought he was a pretty good fellow, even better than the despised publican, thanked God for his negative virtues and works of super ogyation, the Saviour classed him as a hypocrite. The latter standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast saying, "God be merciful to me a sinner," went down to his house justified rather than the other. The publican represents the type of a humble Christian, the class that Jesus came to save. The man who is able to tithe and does it out of a pure heart to support the church, will go down to his house justified rather than the other, and in the end receive a rich reward. LOCAL BAPTISTS HOLD CONVENTION The Baptist Convention of the District of Columbia and Vicinity will hold a special session at the Providence Baptist Church, of which Rev. Aquila Sayles is pastor, on Wednesday, August 22. There will be two sessions, the opening session beginning at 1 p.m., and the closing session at 7:30 p.m. Dr. James L.

Brooks These articles are written in response to the article by Edgar M. Grey, entitled, "Black White List and White Black List," appearing in the April 14 issue of the New York News; and to the reproduction of the same point of view by W. E. B. Dubois in his June issue of the Crisis. These views held that William Lloyd Garrison, Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, John Brown and Wendell Phillips were men to be classed with Clarence Darrow as free-thinkers. CLARENCE DARROW These men of steadfast faith in God—Garrison, Douglass, Philips, John Brown, Lincoln—these faithful students of the Bible; these men, who espoused the cause of the slave, and did battle for him, in this country and abroad, until every American slave was a free man, and Lincoln's conception of the country's new birth of freedom was ushered in, were, in their religious views, as unlike Clarence Darrow as the light of day is from the darkness of night. Let us illustrate. Darrow addresses a colored audience thus: "If there is a god, he saw the first slave ship come across the waters and every other one. He knew all about it. . . He has witnessed all the sufferings of blacks as. well as other people. He has seen you dying between the docks on the ocean while you were coming to a land of slavery, not to a land, of freedom. He has seen the race suffering for 300 years as slaves in America. He has seen them hanged on scaffolds and on trees and burned at the stake, and he did not have anything to say about it. He did not seem to care." (See Washington Tribune, April 27, 1928.) Coptrast these utterances with the following words of Frederick Douglass. "I may say here. I regard my removal from Colonel Lloyd's plantation as one of the most interesting and fortunate events of my life. Viewing it in the light of human likelihoods, it is quite probable that, but for the mere circumstance of being thus removed before the rigors of slavery had fastened upon me; before my young spirit had been crushed under the iron control of the slavedriver, instead of being, today, a freeman, I might have been wearing the galling chains of slavery. I have sometimes felt, however, that there was something more intelligent than chance, and something more certain than luck, to be seen in the circumstance. If I have made any progress in knowledge; if I have cherished any honorable aspirations, or have, in any manner, worthily discharged the duties of a member of an oppressed people; this little circumstance must be allowed its due weight in giving my life that direction. I have ever regarded it as the first plain manifestation of that Divinity that shapes our ends, Rough hew them as we will." "I was not the only boy on the plantation that might have been sent to live in Baltimore. There was a wide margin from which to select. There were boys younger, boys older, and boys of the same age, belonging to my old master—some at his own house, and some at his farm—but the high privilege fell to my lot. "I may be deemed superstitious and egotistical, in regarding this event as a special interposition of Divine Providence in my fayor; but the thought is a part of my history, and I should be false to the earliest and most cherished sentiments of my soul, if I suppressed, SORE LEGS HEALED.

From my earliest recollections of serious matters, I date the entertainment of something like an ineffaceable conviction, that slavery would not always be able to hold me within its foul embrace; and this conviction, like a word of living faith, strengthened me through the darkest trials of my lot. This good spirit was from God; and to him I offer thanksgiving and praise." (See Douglass" "My Bondage and Freedom." Ed. 1855, pages 138-140.) Darrow's fight, as is evident from his own words, is an open fight against religion—all religion. He is not a believer in God at all. From his point of view, religion is not only worthless, but a positive hindrance to the progress of mankind, and to the colored American in particular. It is unfortunate that this man, who has rendered such valuable service to the race, in a great legal fight, should deem it the part of wisdom to occupy the pulpits of the churches, in waging war against the religious beliefs on which these churches are founded. Not in malice to him, but in love to the God we serve, we close our doors to the known scoffer and infidel. Let us hope that some day Darrow, like Saul of Tarsus, may be conquered by the Spirit of Christ, and become an advocate and defender of the religion, which he now rejects and ridicules. In that day, no man will be more welcome in our churches, and in our pulpits than Clarence Darrow. For we love the man with the same intensity of spirit that we deplore, and set our faces against his irreligion.

Baseball in the East cannot prosper under present conditions. The need of a league is apparent. The public will never again patron- ize independent baseball as it did in the years before it knew the association brand of the game.

The Eastern Sports Writers’ Association here and now calls on the club owners of the East to get together under a common leadership for their common good. The Baltimore Black Sox, the Lincoln Giants, the Bacharach Giants, Hill- dale and the Cuban Stars are five good teams for the league. Possibly the Harrisburg Giants can be made the sixth unit. The time to start ti for next season is now. The man to start the ball rolling is ‘Ed. Bolden of the Hilldale Club of Philadelphia and Darby. Because Ed Bolden MIpene. more to baseball than baseball can ever mean to Ed Bolden we name the former Hilldale paneer and present president of that club as the “Man of the Hour.” We draft him and designate him as the in- dividual, the one individual, per- haps, who can work order out of the present chaos: Make no mistake about it—Bold- en is the biggest Sigure in, our sea. board game. He is to the East what Rube Foster was to the West.

He was the prime mover in the ovgeniting of the Hilldate ‘baseball corporation which grew out of ‘a sandlot team fifteen yéars ago into the biggest Negro. corporation in sport! Clan Darbie was the first club in the East to pay ball players living salaries. It was one of the first clubs anywhere to own its own park. The Philadelphia Baseball Asso- ciation for three years embraced all of the best clubs in the Quaker City section.

The story deals with the subject of juvenile delinquency. Liquor affects comparatively few families, dope still fewer, while white slavery as symbolized by red lights and segregated districts, has practically ceased to exist, but juvenile delinquency, as expressed in the amazing and unexplainable moral decay of modern youth, is a problem that reaches into every home. It is difficult for many parents to understand the freedom of modern thought and conduct, and it is hard for them to believe that their children could be in danger. All such should see "The Road to Ruin." For Wednesday and Thursday, Bessie Love will be seen in "Sally of the Scandals," a picture that deals with Broadway in all its shrill, clamor and tinsied madness, and explains why girls leave home to go upon the stage. Friday and Saturday, Rod La Roque, Lupe Valez and Warner Oland appear in "Stand and Deliver," which is said to be La Roque's most colorful star picture; dealing with romance, drama, swift-moving action, thrills gallore, suspense, intrigue, and a beautiful colorful love story. BROADWAY TO GET NEW MODEL ORGAN Walter A. Pinchback, the popular and energetic manager of the Seventh street picture house, says that by September 1, there will be installed in the Broadway Theatre, a ten-thousand-dollar Robert Morton, single unite theatre organ; giving to his house one of the finest and latest improved organs in the city. He also states that for the coming season, picture lovers can look forward to seeing the very best pictures at the Broadway. When asked as to whether or not his house would install the Vitaphone, Mr. Pinchback replied that in his opinion, "the movies were a visual entertainment, and that only a few pictures would be improved by sound effects and none whatsoever by a complete talking cast." REPUBLIC THEATRE London's slums have been called the cup that holds the world's dregs. That would appeal to Emil Jannings, character star, as a setting for his dramatic talents, and the idea, evolved by him, has been transferred into a motion picture called "The Street of Sin." This picture will be shown at the Republic Theatre for five days, beginning Sunday, August 19 to Thursday, August 23, inclusive. Jannings shows that realism, stark and powerful, is his best characterization, realism with a grim, human quality that burns into the mind. Through the fog of a London night a girl and a man, both dressed in Calvation Army uniforms, make their way through the dangerous ugly. streets of East Limehouse. She is a wraith of a girl whose eyes shine with piety. They enter a public house where ruffians sit drinking. The girl beats her tambourine. They are abused and cursed by the drinking men. And then Jannings stalks through the rabble like a conqueror of old. It is powerful, very powerful drama, this "Street of Sin." Harold Lloyd in his latest romantic comedy, "Speedy," will be shown on Friday and Saturday, August 24 and 25. Briefly it is a story dealing with the last of the horse car lines in New York. Babe Ruth, the home run king of baseball, has a part. And Lloyd proves that he is still the king of comedians. If you want to see something different, see "Speedy." Vitaphone offering (for the entire week) include Jack Smith, "The Whispering Baritone," and Victor Record star; Waring's Pennsylvaniaians, famous collegiate orchestra in an entirely new act, and Eddie Conrad, Broadway's Favorite Comedian, assisted by Marion Eddy. LINCOLN THEATRE From Sunday, August 19, to Saturday, August 25, will be known as "Revival Week" at the Lincoln Theatre. There will be a change of feature photoplayds daily which will afford the theatre-going public an opportunity of seeing their favorite photo-play of former years for practically the last time.

HOWARD THEATRE The stage attraction for the week beginning Monday matinee, August 20, will be the smartest musical comedy that has bee nseen in years, "The Merry-Go-Round," staged and directed by that well known colored producer, Irvin C.

On the screen for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the public will have an opportunity of seeing, for the last time, one of the greatest stories of Biblical history ever shown, "Ben Hur." "Ben Hur" is a picturization of the novel subtitled "A Tale of the Christ."

FRIDAY. AUGUST 17, 1928 PROF. THOMAS COMMENDS "UNCLE TOM'S CABIN" IN PICTURES On a recent morning, a hundred citizens from all fields of work, and social levels witnessed a private showing of the newest picture film, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," at the Lincoln Theatre. It is a big picture and was so generally realistic and true to the phase of American history which it portrayed, that it met the unanimous approval of the audience. Prof. Charles M. Thomas, who has witnessed thousands of pictures, and criticised many, and who is an authority on social ethics and a guardian of race enterprise, rights and progress has written the following graphic description: "You should see Uncle Tom, superior to every man, black or white, in the drama, except in self-assertive manhood, whipped to death for refusing to reveal the hiding place of two beautiful, refined slave women who are victim and the object, respectively, of the extreme southern planter's lust and cruelty. George Harris Good "You should see the young engineer, George Harris, a rented-out, house slave struck down in the presence of his beautiful, hour-old bride, Eliza, and later escaping north, in a blinding snow storm, to Canada to earn money to buy his family's freedom. "Enjoy his splendid manhood, again and again, as he returns to slavery's hell, in search of those loved ones, now sold South by slave catchers acting under the Dredd Scott decision of the supreme court of the United States. "Witness the benevolent but futile sympathies of the white aristocrats, who then as now, were outwitted by the greed, avarice, cruelty and injustice of their usurious and lecherous white neighbors. Racial Differences "Compare slavery at its worst and in its mildest forms, showing the loyal, kindly Christian blacks in one, and the ignorant, brutal, crude and informing brethren of the other; you shall understand some present-day racial differences. Pontius Pilate, and that horrible trip of Christ to Calvary. "Ben Hur" is presented with a magnificent cast that includes such stars as Ramon Novarro, May MacAvoy, Francis X. Bushman, and Carmel Myers, who are supported by 150,000 others. On Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, will be shown "The Big Parade," with John Gilbert, the perfect lover of the screen, in the leading role, ably supported by Renee Adoree. Among the other well known players in the supporting cast will be seen Karl Dane, Hobart Bosworth, Tom O'Brien and Clair Adams. Every Wednesday night, at 9:30, is talent night, when patrons are invited to display their talents, letting the audience decide as to the winners. "Weep at the pathetic death bed of little Eva, who shows how the black and white children would love one another without segregation, and how she died of consumption, surrounded by care and luxury, while slave children throw in neglect and exposure. "See the Quaker, whose group labored against slavery from 1688, risk his life to help slaves escape over the river between free and slave states, and understand what is meant by the "Underground Railroad," in which system the friendly white women gave to the weak and pursued blacks, the tenderest care and sympathy. Relatives Separated "See children torn from their mothers, and husbands from their wives, to be sold into distant sections, and thrill with the brave but helpless struggles of our noble women with only their love and prayers as weapons of defense. "See the arrival of the Union army and how the slaves received them bringing freedom and protection after 250 years spent in a living hell, and understand what emancipation means to the Negro. "Do not miss this portrayal of what is behind you in torture of soul and brutality of action, for you may then understand how many different kinds of white people are here in America, and under what conditions you shall live among them until the effect of this curse of slavery is wiped out on both sides." Hayes Commends Shirley McCanns in Music Uplift Among Negroes By Wellington Adams "The Message of the Negro Spiritual!" is the unique lecture topic of a little woman with a big thought now in Washington. Shirley Graham McCanns crossed the continent from the state of Oregon that she might learn more about Negro music. Already, she had organized and trained a chorus in Portland, Oregon, which had been heard and enjoyed by thousands of people on the Pacific Coast; a chorus that sang Negro music and only Negro music. To quote Miss McCanns: "I started with a quartet and the thorough conviction that my people are the chosen singers of the world. We sang in various white churches and I told them of the Negro's contribution to music. Then with the help of other far-sighted persons, the chorus was formed in Portland. At first it was rather hard. I had to convince the members of the chorus of the value and beauty of our idea. Other people could not understand or appreciate what we were doing. In fact, out there where we are so few in numbers they were a little ashed to sing these old songs of slavery. Whites Did Not Know "They laughed at us when we went to the City Auditorium for our first big concert. Perhaps the white people who packed the auditorium expected something very different from what they heard. But that night we sang our way TUESDAY, Aug. 21—Fred Thompson in "DON MIKE."

CHANGE OF PHOTOPLAY DAILY COME AND SEE YOUR FAVORITE PHOTOPLAYS OF FORMER DAYS straight into the heart of that community. We told them what we were doing and we sang the soft, stirring melodies of the plantation, we sang our spirituals, we sang the later compositions of Burleigh, Dett, Johnson and Cook. The people were amazed that Negroes had written such music. They did not know." Thus did Miss McCanns start something out. West that just now is re-echoing on the Atlantic borders in a mighty leap from the Pacific Coast line that is at once of great historical and educational value. Hayes Sends Telegram Roland Hayes heard of the work and aims of this chorus and its little director. On his last tour to the West he gave them a special audition. On returning East the great Hayes remembered the efforts of Miss McCanns and sent her the following telegram from Boston: "Though far away my thoughts and best interest abide with you and chorus. I pray for an ever-increasing success which is assured when earnest, thoughtful and unselfish efforts are continuously made over a necessary period to any noble cause." During the past five months Miss McCanns has successfully appeared in Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Chicago and New York.
