SUNDAY FUNERALS.
Following a lengthy discussion
of Sunday Funerals the local Inter-
denominational Alliance ot Ministers
registered Its unalterable opposition
to them and adopted a resolution
to that effect.
Its reasons embodies In this rcs-
lutlon are: That too often Inter-
ment of bodies Is postponed simply
(or the added ceremony possible
on Sunday; that church services
suffer because of the preparations
for them by lodge members who
are also church members; that ex-
tended fraternal burial ceremonies
rob the church service of Its sanc-
tity and that such occasions as
they are now conducted are not
sanctioned by the dictates of en-
lightened society
To this resolution of the minis-
ters the Express gives its unqualified
support. The practice baa been car-
ried to the point that It renders pos-
sible a criticism of us which cani-
not be Ignored.
Curiosity and desire for display
have no place at occasions made
solemn by the presence of Death.
Yet they are given place by the
Sunday Funeral.
We believe that the stand taken
by thesi. ministers will finally be
found tenable by the public general-
ly. There reasons are sufficient.
No member of the church going
public wl''. find them overdrawn.
Ve hope that ;he time may soon
coue among us when we wUl realise
that progreM In enlightenment and
civilization demands that we cast
oft many practices brought forward
from a byijne day Sunday Fun-
erals may well head this list.

THE FIRST OLDER BOYS' CONFERENCE
The State Executive Committee of the Y. M. C. A. has an
nounced an Older Boy's Conference to be held in Fort Worth
soon.
This will be the first conference of its kind ever held in
Texas.
The conference theme is "a call to service" as taken from
that famous quotation from Thillips Brooks "only to find our
duty certainly and somewhere or somehow to do it faithfully
makes us good strong happy and useful men."
That such a meeting is to be held and efforts made to im-
press such a thought upon the minds and souls of our boys of
teen age in Texas argues well for their greater usefulness upon
reaching maturity.
It is a fact that only the exceptional boy is naturally shift-
less and unworthy. Nor can it be denied that men to a great ex-
tent are creatures of environment. Those who have been fortu-
nate enough to have been well directed in youth form some con-
crete idea of what their duty to themselves and society is. Those
who are not so fortunate become a burden on society.
No boy can be too fully imbued with the idea that he has a
definite relation to society; that he must make definite contri-
bution to it ; thai for all of his advantages he must make return
if he would "carry his end of the common load."
It is to be hoped that community interest will make is pos-
sible for many boys to attend this conference. It is to be hoped
also that this conference may prove the means of causing added
interest of commuities in the welfare of their boys.
The boys of today must assume the burdens of civilization
soon. Conferences such as this one bids fair to be prepare them
to carry these burdens well and honorably.
SPREADING OUT.
Elsewhere in this issue mention is made of the visit
Madame Walker Wilson daughter of the late Madame C. J. Wal-
ker to Italy. And an excerpt from "La Tribuna" leading morn-
ing daily of Rome tells of her presence at St. Peter's during the
election of the new Pope. Mrs. Wilson stopped in Rome while
en route to Egypt Spain and Iiberia on business for her com-
pany. That Mrs. Wilson should have visited Rome is worthy of
comment and special notice for seldom are we interested enough
in the world about us to explore it or wander "far afield"- in
search of information or diversion. But it is more worth while
to realize that she is splendidly carrying on the work so well be-
gun by her mother refusing to be satified with its present size
thouirh it affords her ample means. She is seeking to en
large it; to put other countries
is "spreading out.
How great a blessing would it be for the average Negro
business man to think always in terms of "spreading out" never
being satisfied with present accomplishment?
Every town in which Negroes live and attempt to do business
bears evidence of the lack of this idea by the proprietors of busi-
ness enterprises. Their theory seems to be "it affords me a
living why should I seek to make it grow." The average Negro
business man seems to think little of progress beyond a certain
point.
This lack of ambition is not commendable. And the time has
come that actual blame may well attack to that concern or indi-
vidual who dies not seek to make the most of his opportunities:
It is not possible for every business to become national or
international in its scope. But it is possible for every business
to cover efficiently and attract to itself every bit of patranage
possible thus supporting its owners in better style and furnish-
ing gainful employment for those who have made special prepar-
ation for it.
Dissatisfaction with present conditions to the extent of exert-
ing one's self for their betterment has been the cause of the ad-
vance of civilization and the developmnt of commerce and trans-
portation. Those who would keep abreast of this progress which
is every where observable must seek to "spread out" consitently
and constantly.
We commend the spirit of M!rs. Wilson in this carrying for-
ward the work of her mother. She is fortunate to posses the
spirit which causes her always to strive to grow.
Her example may well serve as an incentive to others among
us whose opportunities are no less limited than are hers. Let
us think always of "spreading out" being ever dissatisfied with
present accomplishment.
COL YOUNG.'
To have so lived that the greatest men of the nation gladly
pay tribute to one's memory is not easily accomplished. But oc-
cassionally it is done. But only those men who exceptionally ap-
ply themselves to the task of serving their age can be so remem-
bered. Such a man was Col Chas. Young whose memorial will be
held thronghout the nation Sunday March 12th.J!
Of him General Pershing says "I wish to commend his ex-
emplary life as a splendid examine to other members of his race.
By close application to duty he ixhieved success and won the re-
spect of his fellow army of ficeis.''
President Harding says "it is a pleasure which indeed I
count a duty as well to testify my very high opinion and re-
gard for Colonel Young. Colonel Young was a credit to the ser-
vice and a distingushed honor to the race from which he came;
a race that in the world war carried its full part and acquitted
itself with utmost credit.
It is highly fitting and altogether proper that the memory
ox such a man be ever cherished by his nation and especially by
the members of the race from which he came. He more than
others proved himself .worthy of the honors which his labor won
him. The story of his life wi'l be inspiring to every Negro boy
who looks fcr heroes from among those of his own kind. He was
a hero. His is a fit example of application to duty for any generation.
He was our greatest contribution to his calling the soldier.
ar i even undr the mcst adverse circumstances he did his duty.
May he ever be thus considered. May the story of his life
find & place as secure in our memories as that of Crispus At-
tucks and John iJrown.
NEGRO HLMS.
Recent riention has been made of a plan to centralize the
production and distribution of films produced by Negro actors
and to guarantee their appearange in a circuit which will cater
to them only.
Such a plan has much to commend it. The motion picture
industry as such is a fixture in American life. It has become the
chief 80urse of entertainment for the masses. The number of
Negroes who take advantage of this form of entertainment is
sufficient to guarantee substantial support to any theatre cater-
ing to them especially
And it would be only natural for them to find special pleas-
ure i-i witnessing films produced by actors of their own race. The
re; option given to the plays already produced is proof of that
f..cfc.
But it must also be realized by those who would become pro-
ducers that the "movie taste" of Negro audiences has been culti-
vated to the extent vhut it is discriminating. Just ax-ything will
no longer suffice. '
. The uovelty of seeing a Negro on the screen has worn off.
The public from now on will demand in an ever-increasing degree
that films of Negro acto -s measure up in every way with those
in touch with her products. She

DEMOCRATS AXD MOB LAW.
The Post-Dispatch has a fit over the dangers confronting the "sover
eign states" because of "the Dyer anti-Iynchlng bill." "It is a proposal"
shrieks the Post-Dispatch "to subject any county in which a lynching oc
curs and any county through which the victim Is transported to a for-
feiture of 110000."
It seems not to have occurred to the apoplectic Post-Dispatch that
any county can be wholly free of danger of such a penalty by not permitt
ing mob murders within its boundaries.
Only a few sections of the country are marked by frequent lynching.
These permit the law to be flaunted and only sharp penalizing of their
course will cause regard for law to succeed the rule of passion.
Common sense 1b necessary in considering a plan for removing the
stain of lynchlngs from the name of
recards common sense and truth in
wild passion which Invokes mob rule
not wise as efforts at proving that
sary.
So long as officers may with safety and popularity release prisoners
to mobs to be hanged or burned without being given their constitutional
right to a trial by Jury and so long as lynchers suffer no greater hazard
than the mummery of an Inquiry by a grand Jury often composed of
members of the mob with a finding of homicide at "the hands of a per-
son or persons unknown" that long will lynching flourish.
Not even Is there certain proof of Identity In most lynching cases.
This works the double injury of murdering the innocent and letting the
offender go uncaught. '
It Is regrettable that the states and counties have been generally so
negligent that federal enforcement of the constitutional guarantees seems
necessary. Even under the Dyer bill there is no provision for federal re-
lief where state law is adequate and Is vigorously enforced.

THK PLIGHT OK MARCUS tJARVEY.
Despite the personal attitude of Marcus Garvey and many of his mis-
guided adherents we are not among those who can not see that the mis
fortunes of Marcus Garvey are In a sense the misfortunes of the race. We
have been bitter and unscrupulously received by thera for doing what was
our bounden duty to do In seeking to protect the Interest of the race
from many of their disastrous tendencies. We have been unsparing in our
criticism of many of these efforts because we knew that as true as the
multiplication' table many of these projects were foredoomed to failure.
We have decried their efforts partly willful and partly involuntary to ar-
ray the black race against the white race and the black portion of the
race against the mixed portion of the race and the West Indian against
the native born members of the race. The unreasoning mad hatred and
discord that have ensued and displayed themselves on such occasions as at
the ill-fated disgraceful Republican mass meeting at Liberty Hall last
fall are not only vicious but suicidal. Garvery and his followers for the
i most part foreign born must understand once for all that this attitude is
un-American and can under no circumstances be condoned or tolerated.
I The fanatical devotion of many of his members while understanding
uuu partialis necessary in nis plans must oe Kept witmn me DOUnas OI law
and order and good citizenship. When native. Americans whether white
or black can be denied the right of free speech in an assembly for which
they have paid then It is time to call a halt. No other element of foreign
born residents In America would be permitted to do this. Any organization
of such residents who attempted such foolhardy tactics would be and
should be promptly suppressed by the police. This dangerous program has
been one of the fatal defects of the Garvey organization. It has been this
more than any other thing that has chrystalized public sentiment against
It and has alienated the sympathy of many otherwise friendly people of
j the other race.
' The business plans of Oarvey have been fantastic and impossible. It
Ih plain that Garvey is no business man but an arrogant and unscrupu-
lous organizer. The manifold schemes In themselves of the Universal Ne-
gro Improvement Association of the Black Star Line the Factories Cor-
poration the Siberian development gold bonds plan the laundry newspa-
jand real estate corporations would have required not only a Napoleon to
manage but a John D. Rockefeller to finance. No sooner it seems has
one pian Degun to taue in me imagination or the faithful than another one
equally Impossible has been promoted to fire their zeal and get their
stock subscriptions. Speclaus and highhanded as tjiese plans and policies
seem we are not going to Judge Oarvey's motives. It may well be that
b thought these dreams would come true and providing practical would
eventually Justify themselves. Much anti-race feeling has been engender-
ed much intra-raclal discord has been aroused and many hundreds of
thousands of hard earned dollars of the hardworking people of the race
at home and abroad have been misspent and squandered. These have
been the grave liabilities upon which Marcus Gaivey have brought upon
the entire black race.
But the Garvey Movement has piled upon the other side of the
Leder valuable race asseta and achievements. Garvey has stimulated a
greater practical racial solidity and racial nonsdousness among the rank
and file than they have ever known before. He has demonstrated the
fart that black folk the world over can be organized and will organize
for their own betterment. He has given them a greater Interest and
knowledge of their own wonderful historic past He has given them the
self confidence to attempt big thing for themselves. He has stirred not
only the West Indians and at home but hundreds nf thnnanmta nf
j people in South America and African to race pride and to conviction of
their own potential equality. He cannot believe that all this can be wast-
ed. Saner and more diplomatic handB will be able in the near future to
j have the race realize on this. This complete failure of Marcus Garvey'a
; plan would Bhook that e rifldence but it cannot destroy that awakened
intelligence of the race. It would be a grave race misfortune If something
.could noi be saved rut of the wreck. Garvey baa served as far as his
r.ature and ability will permit. J Others wiser and ebler must take up the
i torch for the cause of African redemption. N. Y. News.
XKW I.YXCHING STATISTICS.
When the debate on the Dyer Bill began In the House of Represen-
tatives the Southern Congressmen started out all primed with the r-id ar-
gument that lynching was caused by rape and was practiced only as a
punishment for rape. Every Southern Congressman who arose to speak
-n the Bill attempted to Impress upon the House that lynching would not
stop until rape was abolished. Some of them attempted eloquently to de-
fend this ancient Southern institution by pulling on the tremole stops in
their voices and painting J-eart-rending pictures of white girlB of tender
age being assaulted and choked to death by "burly black brutes."
But as the debate went on these statements bocame weaker because
each time a Southern Congressman made them a supporter of the Bill
arose and knocked the argument silly by producing figures which showed
that in not one-forth of the known cases of lynching was there even a
charge of rape.
to which it has become accustomed. It will be satisfied with
nothing less.
In short the public will soon stop paying to see pictures just
because they happen to have been produced by Negro companies
and this also is natural.
- Those who seek diversion demand the best obtainable. Those
theatre proprietors who have alwsys striven to furnish the best
possible in this lme have had ro fault to find with the support
which has been given them.
We commend the plan as outlined. We hope that it may
soon develop that Negro films can compare favorably with any
produced. But wo as members of the public realize that how-
ever much we may hope for this it can never be reVzed except
as those who Attempt to produce them employ men of education
as title and scenario writers and actor of ability and training to
portray their characters. -
- Thoroughness has not yet made itself felt sufficiently amonp;
producers of Negro films. But if they are to become fixed in
movie life this quality must be made manifest

HOWARD PREPARES FOR
INTER-COLLEGIATE DE-
BATES. Washington D. C. March 9. Under-
graduate life at Howard University
is now centered in the coming inter-
collegiate debates to be held In the
Spring with Lincoln University. Vir-
"inla t'nlon University and Atlanta
University. Howard last year enter-
ed Into a triangular debating league
with Union and Lincoln Universities
and the same arrangement will hold
for this year. Lincoln will debate
Howaid in Philadelphia and Union
University at Richmond. Howard will
meet Union at Washington. On the
name night each of the three colleges
will have two teams debating Its rivals
on opposite sides of the question. This
triangular debate will be held March
21 1922. The proposition to be dis-
cussed Is:1 "Resolved That the Open
Shop policy should prevail in Ameri-
can Industries."
In addition to the triangular de-
bate. Howard will also meet Its an-
cient forensic rival Atlanta Universi-
ty In Washington two weeks prior
to the triangular debate. The subject
of the debate will be: Resolved That
the United States should cancel the
war debt of the Allies." Howard will
uphold the affirmative and Atlanta
the Negative.
The speakers for the various teams
which will represent Howard have
not as yet been chosen but the fol-

It now appears from a Southern paper which we have at. hand that
some Southerners are going to busy themselves to make some new lyn-
ching statistics for use in the fight in the Senate. They realize that the
figures they had to go up against in the House knocked both the top and
bottom out of their arguments defending lynching. They propose to show
that tho majority of lynchlngs are for rape. The newspaper requesting
the making of these statistics concludes with the following paragraph:
"A newspaper undertaking to compile such statistics for the
State of Georgia could thereby render a tremendous public service
not only to the State but to the entire country; and if some reliable
paper in Georgia should undertake to perform such a service I be-
lieve that responsible people in the other States would busy them-
selves with compiling similar statistics for the presentation to their
Senators before the Dyer Bill comes up in the Senate."
In the authoritative data which has been gathered for the last thirty
odd years murder is the charge always in excess of rape. Now these
Southern statisticians are setting out to prove that whenever the charge
averred is murder it simply means that the victim who is lynched com-
mitted both rape and murder and that therefore the murder charge
should also be counted as charges of rape.
We however do not feel that there is any chance no matter how
clever the statisticians of Dixie may be of compiling within the next few
weeks any lynching tables that will take the place of the authentic figures
that have been accumulated and tabulated for the last thirty-five years.

THE VENGEXCK OP THE GODS.
Wm. PICKENS.
(By A. N. P.)
We read in the Virginia papers of yesterday that a white man was
sent to the penitentiary for life; he had killed another white man ac-
cording to the court in cold blood without any provocation maliciously.
We read in the Virginia papers two or three days ago that a Colored
boy was electrocuted in Richmond; hehad shotlnto a crowd of young white
men who were attacking him and had killed one of the attackers. They
were having a little fun of course usln "giant fire crackers" on him as
he passed along the street. They lit thtm and hurled them at him and
when opo of the great explosives went off under his feet he fell to the
ground. As he rose he came up shooting and one of his assailants was
killed.
We are not pleading either one of these men's cases. We are simply con-
trasting tV m and leaving It to you to think whatever you can think. The
white ma a killed In cold blood perhaps to steal or to revenge himself. The
Colored boy kllle 1 in great excitement and under the surprise of an attack
which he could Lot at once understand. There was no premediation and
no malice oppartnt. He could not mean to kill this particular person
whom he hit when he fired at his assailants.
There you have it! When we get an anti-lynchlng bill on the statute
books then we must be eternally busy trying to hinder the co.irt lynch-
lngs. The jury condemned this boy quick to SAVE HIM FROM A LYN-
CHING. On the day when he was electrocuted in Richmond the father of the
young white man whom he killed and several of their friends Journeyed
from Flncastle to the place of execution to "see it well done" true to
southern civilization. We like to see 'era. die down here. What a fine
audience we would have made for Nero or Faustlne; we would alwayi
have turned our "thumbs down" when the victim was down.
But what happened in Richmond? The hotel Lexington where this
sight seeing party put up was burned down and twelve of them includ-
ing the white father were burned to death and others crippled fcr life.
This all happened before the Negro boy was electrocuted. We wonder if
ho heard about it.

Colored people think that God does everything especially if it be terrible

Infllination may extend from the
thhroat to the middle ear where pus
will be formed only to make Its exit
by burrowing through the membranes.
Then we have a discharge coming
from the ear. These cases may result
in Pyemia and abscess of tho lungs
or broncho-pneumonia which is the
usual complication occuring during
the second week. This Is due to the
poison being carried dowward from
the throat or tonsils.
We may have trouble In our Joints

sometimes as early as the fourth

knees are most severely affected. They
remain swollen for weeks and in
some cases suppuration takes place
to be followed by Pyemia. The most
important complication in severe cases
is Septic Nephritis. This may occur
without any symptoms to Indicate such.
There may not be symptoms of Dropsy
or of Septicemia but when this com-
plication does ariae the patient us-
ually dies at the end of the second

should call some physician who will
see that the patient Is strictly quar-
antined. Most cases required the ser-
vices of a competent nurse.
