PAUL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH 26th and Seward Sts., Russel Taylor, Pastor _ Sunday Is known in the church year calendar as Palm Sunday, being com memorative of the triumphal entry of our Saviour into Jerusalem, the pop ulace scattering palm branches before him as he proceeded along the way. Hence the use of the palm. His disciples still believed that he was going to set up an earthly king dom. Hence the cry. “Hosanna; is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the. Lord: Hosanna in the highest.” They were mistaken. But Jesus Is king in a higher and larger sense. Why not make him your king? 8 Sunday morning the topic will be: 3 “Is Jesus Your King?” * Sunday evening the pastor will de liver the address at the Clifton Hill 1 Presbyterian church, which he was to ■ have delivered last Sunday evening. 7 but was deferred on account of the weather. The Ministerial Alliance The (hpcussions on the book of Rev ' elation are proving to be quite inter ’ esting irtSit helpful. The Rev. W. C. Williams being absent the Rev. Rus sell Taylor gave the exposition on the Seven Seals. It was very highly com mended. We trust the public will take ad vantage of the Passion Week services. Negro ministers are continually crit icised for their lack of union. The Alliance is fast breaking down that criticism. Passion Week will be a manifestation of the spirit of unity be tween the different denominations. All the meetings will be held at the Grove M. E. church, 22nd and Seward Streets.

JOHNSON _ Secretary of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People Addresses Dinner in Honor of Rep. LaGuardia | _ New York, March 16.—Speaking at | a dinner in the Hotel Pennsylvania, tendered to Representative F. H. La Guardia of New York, Saturday night, March 10, James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peo ple declared that: “If the Constitution of the U. S. canno\ extend the arm of protection around the weakest and humblest of American citizens as around the strongest and proudest, then it is not worth the, paper it is written I on.” Mr. Johnson made this statement at the conclusion of an address in which he declared it was open and public knowledge that the Fourteenth and | Fifteenth amendments to the Consti j tution of the United States were being j nullified in the southern states and : that the Negro vote was being denied. | Alleging the preponderant influence of I the South in the U. S. Congress be cause of the failure to reduce its rep resentation in accordance with the . disfranchisement of the Negro, Mr. I Johnson said: “In the elections of 1920 it took “In Mississippi, in the elections of 1920, it took 82,492 votes to elect two senators and eight repreesntatives. In Kansas it took 570,223 votes to elect exactly the same representation. “In the presidential election of 1916 the states of Alabama, Arkan sas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia cast a total vote for presidential candi dates of 1,670,209. In Congress these states have a total of 104 rep resentatives and 126 votess in the electoral college. The state of New York alone cast a total vote for presidential candidates of 1,706,354, a vote within 170,000 of all the votes cast by the above states and yet New York has only 43 represen tatives and 45 votes in the electoral college, against their 104 represen tatives and 126 votes in the electoral college.” I he Negro, declared Mr. Johnson, was the test of American democracy, and according to its treatment of the Negro that democracy would prove to he a success or a failure. The effect of disfranchisement and oppressing the Negro has already proved disastrous to the South, he asserted. “In the whole South the so-called purity of the ballot has been pre served at the cost of defiance of the Constitution, perversion of law, in justice and violence practiced upon a weaker group,” he said. “The re sult has been that the South is intel lectually dead and politically rot ten. If this experiment in super democracy had resulted in one one hundredth of what was promised, there might be justification for it, but the result has been that not only are Negroes denied the vote in the South but that white men dare not express their honest opinions, political or otherwise.” Mr. Johnson stated further that if the South failed to see the light, then in thei interest of the whole country “steps should be taken to compel com pliance with the Constitution and that should be done through the enforce ment of the Fourteenth Amendment, which calls for a reduction in repre sentation in proportion to the number of citizens in any state denied the right to vote.” Other speakers at the dinner to Mr. LaGuardia, besides Mr. Johnson, were Senator Smith W. Rrookhart, of Iowa; Mayor Hylan, of New York City; Jas. A. Frear, Representative in Congress from Wisconsin and Miss Elizabeth i Marbury. Mary Garrett Hay, presi ; dent of the Women’s City Club of , New York, presided at the dinner. CHARMING FROCK FROM PARII This school frock is charming, sim ple, in good taste, and warm enough to be comfortable on chill days of early spring, yet loose enough to al low free circulation of air. It is de signed to be donned In a minimum of time. The frock Is of marine blue wool, embroidered with white "snow flakes." LIGHTER COLORS FOR TWEEDS Rale Shades Hold Favor for Town and Country Wear; Delicate Yellows and Grays. All the new town tweed suits and those for the country, ton, are being made In light pule colors. There are no more of those flushing blues and pinks and greens that appeared so numerously. Now the colorings are more subtle, though they ure us deli cate us cun be and bid fair to need m ich cleaning if any sort of hard wear is given them. There 1b a suit in the highest of yel low. It is ulmost a lemon color. It is made on strictly plain and tailored lines and it gracefully follows the Hues of the figure without in the least be ing called titled. Another popular tweed Is a stee. gruy. This is us delicate us can b« In coloring, but it does permit of the wearing of colorful and Interesting hats. It makes its wearer inconspicu ous on the street, while at the same time it succeeds In looking most dis tinctive. There is a cream colored suit made only for sports wear, and with that brown stockings and shoes, with a brown scurf, are accenting notes of much Interest. White tweeds for both coats and suits are very much the order of the (lay. So If you wish to spend your time keeping clean, then have one of them, for at least you will be assured i of being smart looking. NEW NECKWEAR FOR SPRING Bets of Lingerie Collars and Cuffs, With'Deep Berthas in Net and Other Fabrics. In neckwear, matched sets of lin gerie collars and cuffs, with deep berthas in net, in luce or in organdie stand out us the leading features for spring. I’lalted stoles on the clerical order ulso ure featured, ami are being brought out for wear with the new square-cut neck finish. Numerous matched sets consisting of wide collars with gauntlet cuffs made of plain linen, of embroidered net, or of organdie, lace trimmed and embroidered with metal, are shown. A certain revival of interest in the Ascot stock in pique is to be noted. These are indorsed by several of the leading makers for wear with the se vere type of tailored suits. In general, separate neckwear when worn at all, is in white or in deep ecru tints. No demand at all Is registered for colored neckwear. GOWNS FOR THg DEBUTANTF; Laces, Silks, Satins and Velvets Among Charming Soft Fabrics Favored by Misses. For the debutante the season Is one of laces and silks, satins and velvets. She leaves elaborate embroideries and heavy brocades to her older sister, and favors the soft, charting fabrics that are so suited to the debutante type of today. She has learned the values of beauty—that beauty Is proportion, and that to dress beautifully Is to dress in harmony not only with the season and fashions of the moment, but with one’s age und type. Taffeta is always appropriate and becoming, and this season it Is being so much worn that the debutante may have several taffetn frocks In various textures and designs. If she finds that sntln enhnnces her type of loveliness, the debutante will wisely combine it with lace, which brings a freshness to this material. Becoming Collars. Cpstandlfg ruffs of taffeta or tulle are seen on many of the newest frocks. This softens the line about the back of the neck and is more flattering than the severe line. BEQUEST FOR SCHOLARSHIPS FOR COLORED STUDENTS New York, March 23.—(Crusader Service.)—The will of Horatio P. Howard, who died February 20th last at 205 West 115th street, gives $5,000 to Hampton Normal and Industrial Institute to establish scholarships foi deserving Negro students to be known as the Captain Paul Cuffee Scholar ships. The residuary estate goes t< Tuskegee. FROM NEBRASKA TO ARKANSAS AND BACK (c-ouliiiucu ..Ivin l age C/ne) tomers. One of the customers at the lunch counter was Leonard Coleman of Omaha, who warmly greeted me, and expressed surprirse at seeing me as 1 at seeing him. There were only a few passengers of both sexes at this time in the waiting room. They were neatly dressed and well behaved. If all the waiting rooms were as attract ive, convenient and well-appointed as this one “For Colored,” there could he no room fo robjection upon this score. But this dual system, omni present in the South, is fundamentally ' vVRONG, and because it is fundamen tally wrong, it must eventually go. It is economically wasteful, which is another consideration. And to an impartial observer this system of seg gregation presents many childish and loolisih inconsistencies. For example, while colored passengers are not al lowed to occupy the waiting rooms reserved ‘‘For White” and vice versa, when it comes to buying magazines and newspapers or checking parcels, colored passengers must go into the white section to do these things. To' consistently carry out this dual plan, there should be separate news stands and separate checking rooms. Sepa ration all along the line. And then to carry the thing out perfectly some genius ought to invent a process by which heaven’s life giving air should be so divided that God’s children of differing hue might not breathe the same air. In its ultimate anaylsis, one thing is Just as reasonable as the other. The South has its traditions and its views which, no doubt, it honestly holds. It believes its dual system, which is economically wasteful and ethically unjust, to be wise. Eco nomically wasteful because it calls for 'luplicrtion and overlapping; ethic ally unjust, because it does not give to its black citizens that for which they pay taxation, direct and indirect. And then, too, it makes for suspicion and distrust, instead of amity, unity and good-will. ‘‘Are you, Father John Albert Wil liams?” some one asked, and I turned to see the fan who said, “I am sent by Bishop Demby fir you.”—Continued next week. ...The...
