NEGRO NOVELISTS.

Rene Maran. young Colored
man born on the island of Martin
ique, has won the prize of the Con
court Academy, in Paris, for the
best French novel of 1921.
Monsieur Marans book bears the
title, "Batoula." 1t is a story of
Negro life in Central Africa. II
treats of the racial question, and
the problems and aspirations of Ne
groes.
The Goncourt prize is 5000
francs about $1,000 of our money.
That is not a. large sum, relatively
speaking.
But the annual reward of the
Goncourt Academy is one of the
most valued literary distinctions in
France. Any French writer, not eX-
Guiding Anatole France himself
would be proud to win the triumph
young Maran has scored.
Rene Maran is by no means the
only man of his race who has won
fame as an author of fiction. Alex
tai creator of The Three Muske-
teers" and of Cd Artagnan," was
partly of Negro lineage.
But Dumas. one of the most in
ventive literary geniuses who ever
lived, in the vast web of his ro-
mances dealt with characters and
situations such as any other novel
list of similar ability might have
conceived. His heroes and heroines
we're of the white race, like those
of Hugo, Balzac and Sir Walter
Scott Apparently he never troub-
ed himself about the possibilities
of the Negro as a motif for imagi-
native literature.
Maran's book is not only the
work of a Negro, but it depicts Ne
gro characters and its scene is laid
in Africa.
This intense racial quality inn
parts to the youthful Maran's ACHE
vement an originality, boldness
md philosophical insight which
in their way surpass his predeces-
sor, the famous Dumas.

Innocent ChiIren to Hate.

Washington, D.. c., Jan. 5.-Mr.
Neval H. Thomas of the Dunbar
High School addressed large
audience at Galbraith Church on
Sunday evening under the auspices
OF the Association of Mems Clubs.
1t was the desire of President Sour

Thomas traced the history of color
prejudice, stating that it is neither
old, nor natural, nor universal, He
said that it is an easy vice to over
come if only protesting Christians
would inbibe a little of the spirit Of
the Master they profess to serve.
Color prejudice is neither old
nor natural, nor anniversary" he
said, Ancient and medieval liter
ature reveal no hatred against the
darker breeds of men on account of
their color. In these two long pc
RODS men cherished religious and
class prejudices, but on account of
the insignificant difference of color

COLORED CONGRESS ENDORSES
DYER BILL.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 5.-En-
dorsement of the Dyer Anti-Lynch-
ing law was the outstanding feat
ure of the first days session of the
Colored World Democracy Congress
in the John Wesley Zion A. NJ. Z.
church.
AT the public Meeting it was an
nounced that the Rev. T. j. Moppins.
of Representative Dyer's district in
st. Louis. had been appointed to
work with the author of the anti
lynching bill.
James Weldon Johnson, Secretary
of the N, A. A. c. p, who has been
in Washington furthering the Dyer
Anti-Lynching Bill, reports as fol-
lows:
REST assured the bill is in no
danger. The leaders Tin the House
of Representatives. are almost as
most as much interested in seeing
it pass as we are. 1t is only the
question of the propitious time for
bringing it to vote"
Mr.. Johnson explains that many
Republicans are absent from Wash
ington during the holiday season and
the leaders do not want to bring
the bill to a vote until passage is
absolutely assured. Mr.. Johnson's
report continues:
81 am in daily conference with
the men who are leading the fight:
Madden, Barton, Mondill, Goody-
koontz, Longworth and Ansorge, and
! feel CONVINCED they intend to put
! it over.--Dyer does not want to take
any chances. He wants to play alb
solutely safe, and so there is a
probability that the Special Rule
will be adopted Monday or Tues
day, (Dec. 18th or Goth the de-
bate opened. and the vote laid over
until after the holiday recess, when
the full Republican force will be
here"
Mr.. Johnson warns that efforts
in behalf of the bill must not be
slackened and says:
In the meantime we must not
slacken up on our pressure. We
must still urge through our branches
and especially through the Colored
press that citizens request their rep
resentatives in Congress to be pres
ent when the Dyer Bill is brought
/ up and vote for it"

the ultimate prosperity and success
of their brethren in Liberia, Africa.
Rev. Hood spoke as guest of
the church people on the occasion
of their twenty-first anniversary
week. At the same time, Frank
o. Cole, a Civil War veteran, City
Commissioner A. Harry Moore, and
Rev. Florence e. Randolph, spoke
as invited guests.
The events which led up to the
appointment of Hood as Liberian
Minister were detailed by Chairman
Or. Cannon. He said in part:
eve are fortunate in having with
us one of New Jerseys distinguish
ed sons. This came about when we
made a request of our United States
Senators for recognition to which
we believed our race was entitled.
1--WE are proud of the distinction
that has come to New Jersey. 1t

to stand by our friends and oppose
our enemies. From now on we are
going to play the game of politics

cloak he wears"
DR.. Hood told of the incidents
which led up to his appointment
as minister claiming he knew moth
ing of the project until informed
that the Colored citizens of the state
had agreed unanimously on hin
at the Newark conference.
This was made possible" he
said, "by the solidarity of the Color

can be done, other things can. I

DENOUNCES THE REMOVAL OF
DIR. WRIGHT FROM BOARD.

Philadelphia, Penn, Jan. 5.-The
political storm in the City Council
of Philadelphia which centered
around DR., r. R. Wright, veteran
educator and financier has resulted
in his dismissal. From many our
tiers expressions of discomfort have
come openly criticing the action by
which his removal was secured. But
no expression has been more frank
and laudatory of the work done by
DR.. Wright than the editorial eX-
preston of the Public Ledger, lead
ing daily of Philadelphia, which
speaks thus:
The COlored people of Philadel-
phia, and there are upward of 1907
600 of them, should understand
clearly the nature of the offense
for which their Representative in the
Department of Public Welfare is to
be made to suffer DR.. Wright
probably would be the last to make
any complaint merely because of
the elimination of the meager salary
that was attached to his position;
but those who have intimate know
ledge of the work he was doing
among and for bis own people will
resent deeply the possible inter-
ruption of his labOrs.
What he did to arouse the bitter
enmity of the boss politician who
used his power in the Council to
wreak his personal vengeance was
TO expose deplorable conditions of
vice and crime for which the po-
litical system in which that partic-
ular boss was a dominant power
was directly responsible. He had
the courage-or the "impudence,"
as Mr.. Hall preferred TO call it
publicly to proclaim the enormity
of the offense against public morals
and decency that was permitted to
exist in the Seventh Ward with the
knowledge and apparent connivance
of the police and the political ma
chine. City-owned properties were
made the harbor of criminals, the
scene of nameless and shameful
crime; and il was not until this cou-
ragegous Colored social worker eX-
posed the wrong that any remedy
was applied. Because of this, the
City Council took the extreme meas
ure of singing out a single city
employee for punishment, not be-
cause he had done wrong, but be-
cause he resolutely opposed a wrong.
In Furnishing one individual, how
ever, the Council has aimed blow
at the self respecting Colored peo-
pie of Philadelphia, which they
will resent deeply. Mr. Hall and
his hackers may forget that they
have regarded the Colored vote as
q safe asset of their political ma
chine; buL the Co'ored voters are
learning, in the words of one of
their own number that "the people
who suffer most from the tyran-
nical boss system OF Philadelphia
are the people who lin the past J
have been most loyal TO the bosses. &"
How much longer they are going
tamely to allow themselves to be
exploited and flouted when they
seek for themselves to secure de-
cent living conditions and protection
in their civic rights is question
which Mr.. Hall and those who SER
vllely followed his dictation in the
Council would do well to ask them
selves.
