How Professor
Takes Advanced d
Degree at Catholic
University

Washington, d. c., July 14.-Prof.
scholar, educator and editor, of the
Howard University faculty, has salts
| fled the requirements of the Catholic
| University of America for the Mas
ter's Degree in Classical Philology. In
partial fulfilment of the requirements
for the degree, he presented a forty
eight page thesis on 1.-THE Question of
the Origin of the Roman Satire" IN
which discussion he makes n survey
of the lengthy and ingenious debate
which has continued almost without
cessation for over a half century. Aft
er thorough investigation of the var
ious claims of priority in producing
satire, Professor Lightfoot established
his conclusion that "the Romans were
first to produce and to develop the sat
ire as a separate and distinct type of
literary expression.
Professor Lightfoot's conclusion fol-
lows his own diligent search for evil
dence through the original works of

evidence with u prospectus of the var
iouS theories and his own inevitable
conclusion. His discussion is sure to
be received as distinct contribution
to the solution of the perpleXing liter
airy problem to which so many schol
ars have given attention.
In fulfilling the requirements for
this advanced degree, Professor Light
foot exemplifies the modern tendency
of college professors to receive aca-
demic recognition of their profession
al growth. One of the chief delights
Of the college professor is his own pro-
fessional growth. In fact, part of his
remuneration lies in that happy re-
Election that his incentives to self-cul-
ture and scholarship are numerous and
constant. His own Industrious search
after knowledge and consequent con-
tribution to educational thought
should be recognized. The advanced
degrees help in a measure, to serve
this purpose, and are sure to be in
spring to fellow professors and to stu
dents.

tests Lynchings g S
After Respite e
Granted by Georgia
Governor

! How two young colored boys, James
Harvey and Joe Gordon, who were ac-
cused of attempted criminal assault
gia, were tried, convicted, and SEN
fenced to death, and then lynched aft
er Governor Thomas w. Hardwick had
granted a respite of thirty days, was
revealed here today when the Nation
hi Association for the Advancement of
Colored People made public a letter to
Governor Hardwick The letter, signed
by James Weldon Johnson, secretary,
recites the facts given above, pointing
out that both of the youths came from
respectable families, and that the Ad-
vancement Association had investigat-
ed their case, secured convincing proof
of their innocence, employed counsel,
which counsel had presented the facts
to the governor which gave him suffi-
cient ground to delay their execution,
set for June 80. A mob, determined
not to be cheated of their prey, had
seized the boys and lynched them at
Lanes Bridge, Georgia, on July 1.
The associations letter calls upon
the governor to institute action against
Deputy Sheriff ]. r. Tyre, who al
lowed the prisoners to be taken from
him as he was carrying them from
Jesup to Savannah for safe-keeping,
and against Tyre and his immediate
superiors for furnishing so inadequate
protection to the men in view of the
feeling against them. 1t also empha-
sized the fact that evidence against
the men must have been indeed slight
if he as governor had seen fit TO
grant the requested respite. This ac-
tion was particularly urged in view of
Governor Hardwick's recent public
declaration that there would be no mob
rule in Georgia while he was governor.

Dissertation of
deep River"

Just few days ago Mrs. Jessie An
drews Zackery, soprano, the first col
ored girl to be booked in the various
Fox theaters of Greater New York, as
singer of classic, operatic and semi
classic numbers, was asked by the Fox
management to include Dear Old
Southland" in her program for the cur
rent engagement which she is filling,
her second, by the way, in these
houses. Mrs. Zackery declined to ac-
cept the suggestion and gave her rea-
sons in no uncertain manner. Upon
their insistence that this number be
used, she explained that it's derivation
from the sacred Deep River" theme
made it impossible for her to 90 So,
and when they continued to urge, she
sang the original arrangement by Bur-
leigh that they might judge for them
selves.
After hearing Burleigh's deep
River" the Fox management wanted
no more to have the syncopated YER
quested her with sincerity and earnest
ness TO use the Burleigh number In
stead. And she is doing so. Last
week, this week and next week the
audiences in the Fox theaters have
had and will have the unusual expert
ence of hearing this colored girl sing
Deep River" Negro Spiritual, and
they have shown the utmost and heart
lest appreciation of its beauty and
pathos.
There are primitive and crude folk
work songs play songs, love songs and
dance melodies in such ample quanh-
ties that Negro composers can well
find scope for fullest expression of
their desire to transcribe race music
into modern forms, even into jazz,
without having to transgress upon the
outpourings of the racial heart when
it was wrung and torn with sorrow
and distress.-New York Age.

Likens Nine. Talbert
To Nine. CALI
Curci

New York, July 3.-Mme. Cole-Tal-
bert, one of the chief artists to record
for the Black Swan Records, recently
scored such a big hit before large
white audience in Detroit that Rex G.
White of the Detroit News made fav-
orable reference to this wonderful
singer in the following fashion:
Florence Cole-Talbert, declared by
many to have voice rivaling CALI
Curci, was the star of the evening.
This brilliant singer found difficulty
in getting away from her audience al
though she obliged with four num-
bers. Her voice is a So
prano of great range and sweetness,
her vocal flexibility is marked and
gives ease and clarity to her utterance.
She made tremendous hit with her
audience"
That the music loving public appre-
ciates high class music as well as
blues is being evidenced by the big
demand made since June for "The Bell
Song" and "The Kiss" which numbers

Major Motion Wins
HerO's Fame in

New York, July Threading the
traffic during Fifth avenues most
crowded hour, a woman was confused
and stopped directly in the path of
swiftly moving automobiles. Crowds
ON the sidewalks looked on with hor-
ror or turned away from what ap-
peared to be an inevitable fatality, but
one man dashed through the vehicles
thronging the street, seized the woman
by the arm and dragged her back to
safety.
Dazed by her sudden and unexpected
delivery from death or serious injury
she failed to thank her rescuer. A
traffic man was more alert. He
stopped 'the man after he had taken
dozen steps and asked his name.
The stranger, who was a Negro,
turned.
Are you going to arrest me-" he
asked.

the suburban delights of Greater New

Robert Russa Motion
JUST A BLACK MAN"

We should praise a fine quality in
the Devil. And that is no apology for
praising one of the many fine qualities
in Robert Russa Motion, for he has no
But he is a good example of the man
whose superfine qualities are likely
to be sometimes discredited simply be-
cause somebody disagrees with him
about something else. All men who
attain any position above the ordinary
suffer this disadvantage in some de-
gree.
We like to talk about people when
we can say fine things about them.
We hate to talk about them when we
can't. We could talk much about DIR.
Motion, for we know him well and es-
teen his fine qualities. One of the
best of these is what we might call
his GROUP CO-CONSCIOUSNESS.
He feels that he is one of the people
whom he calls my people," He is de-
sirous that whatever good is in him
may be placed on the credit side of his
peoples account.
This is illustrated by his recent eX-
perience in the streets of New York
City. He reached out his strong black
arm and saved n white woman from
the danger of being run over by tax
icab. That is nothing strange for a
black arm to do. Black arms always
come to the rescue, regardless of the
color of the party needing help. But
according to the New York World,
when this rescuing black man was
asked for his name, by an observant
policeman, who wanted to report the
deed with due credit, the colored hero
replied merely, without giving his
name: Just say a Black Man did it."
And the capitals are ours, not the
Worlds, for there must have been a
capital feeling in the heart of Notion
Modest as he is, he could not overlook
the interesting elements of this situa-
ton.
Yes, "a black man did it." If it had
been crime, it would not have been
necessary to request them to say that
it was "black man"
We have met number of colored
people who seemed to think it desira-
BILE to be 1.-The only Negro, the first
(and probably the lasD colored person
to do so-and-so, the exception, y
or the "although-he-is-co -colored," etc.
But r. r. Motion is "just black
man" and we like him for it. And we
recommend that we substitute for "the
only Negro" lust a black man." And
Motion is right, for that act of rescue
is just-like-a-black-ma That is the
way black men act. The opposite ac-
ton is the exception" We only wish
that black women were equally as like
ly to meet help, courtesy and protec-
ton from the average white man.

she choose a Negro female figure for

Craemer as saying:
81 believe that the most beautiful
women in the world, spiritually and
physically, are to be found among the
colored women in the states of Amer

of Negress to symbolic the new

''It was the deep mystic beauty in
the eyes of the southern mammies that
first attracted in Virginia. There Is
more spirituality shining out of the
eyes of these colored women than can
be found in any race of white women
on the earth
