DiscOuragement Is a
Disease

The moment you yield to discourage
ment all your mental faculties become
depressed. They lose power. There is
no coordination of effort among them;
consequently they fail to do vigorous
teamwork. Your initiative is para
lyzed, your executive ability strangled.
You are in no condition to do anything
effectively. Your whole mentality is
placed at tremendous disadvantage,
and until this enemy is driven out of
your mind, neutraliZed by the affirma-
ton and the contemplation of its op-
pOsites-of courage, cheer, hope, and
vigorous expectation of splendid
things to come-you are in no condi-
ton to do good work.
Every suggestion of discouragem
of fear, of failure, is destructive
force, and in the degree that we allow
ourselves to be influenced by it will
tear down and tard our life pro-
cesses, our life work. 1t will darken
the mind and cause one to make fatal
ly wrong decisions, to take which may
ruin ones happiness, ones whole life.
When trials and troubles come to us,
when overwhelmed with sorrow, when
death comes into our home and
snatches away some dear one, it is
very difficult to see through theS torn,
TO pierce the dark clouds and see the
healing sun behind them. Struggling
with the sorrow of that great loss in
our life it doesn't seem as if we could
ever be happy again. When so suffer-
ing we wonder in a sort of dumb re-
sentiment how other people can possi-
bly, be laughing, having a good time,
going to theaters, dances, enjoying life
as usual, 1t seems cruel, almost, for
others to enjoy when we feel as if we
could never even smile again.
But we know that time heals the
deepest sorrows, that physical and
mental ills pass away, and that the
brave soul is the one that adapts itself
to the storms and sunshine of life

Conductor Is Nabbed
for Attack

Wilmington, Del, March 31.-An IL
Eliminating example of the manner in
which the white mans publicity ideas
work out is found in the treatment
now being given the case of l. B. Flow
er, white conductor living at 1923
Scott street, who has been arrested on
charge of assaulting Mrs. William
Watson, who lives near Delaware City
A year ago young boy was hanged
heref or an alleged attack on an old
white woman who was reputed to be
criminal in her tendencies. The boy
was half-wit and he was not white.
Newspapers in the town made much of
the case, playing the boys race iden-
tity up big in their headlines. When
he was hung they gloated, claiming
that that was enforcing the law.
Three months ago white man was
jailed for assault on 16-year-old girl
who was not white. AT the trial he
was found guilty, sentence was de-
ferred for a while, and then later he
was given a year in the penitentiary.
Not much of this got out. The racial
identity of the sexes had been re-
versed.
The case of Mrs. Watson and Flow
er is similar Both Mrs. Watson and
her husband are highly respectable cit
izens. Delaware City, where she lives,
is in more or less lonely location.
She alleges that when she got near her
home, she found herself to be the only
occupant of the street car. 1t was
night and dark. The motorman or the
conductor saw to it that the trolley
pole was pulled from the wire, leaving
the interior of the car in darkness.
Then, while the motorman guarded,
the conductor, Flower, is said to have
assaulted her.
Mrs. Watson carried the news to her
husband, who Immediately had a war
rant sworn out for Flower. The latter
was taken to Jail, given a preliminary
hearing and let out on $4,000 bail.
Very little has been published in the
white papers about the case.

Another link in the chain OF our
newspaper editors is broken-and this
time our noted editor and publisher,
John H. Murphy of the Afro-American,
one of our leading journals of this
country. Having lived for eighty-one
years and so devoted to the cause of
his people and the establishing of real
constructive work for his race, Editor
Murphy was popular among his own as
well as the other side, for his fearless
ness and fair dealing in championing
anything for the benefit of humanity.
Though of adyanced years when he
died, yet he will be greatly missed, and
his memory will ever linger with us.
AS a worker in the same field as our
late respected editor the COLORADO
STATESMAN offers its deepest SYM
pathy to the relatives of the deceased
and pays tribute to life that was
spent for the edification of the people.

Ask Commerce Com
mission Probe of
Jim Crow Accom-
mOdatiOns.

The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People, 10
Fifth avenue, New York, today an
nounced that the Interstate Commerce
Commission had been asked to extend
its investigation of discrimination in
freight rates in southern interstate
railway traffic to the discrimination
against colored passengers by segrega-
ton in Jim-Crow cars.
The letter, which is signed by James
Weldon Johnson, secretary of the Ad-
vancement Association, is as follows:
Hon. George B. McGlnty, Secretary,
Interstate Commerce Commission,
Washington, d. c.:
Dear Sir:
The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People
having received a copy of the Order
in Docket No. 13,494, issued by the In
terstate Commerce Commission and di-
recting that investigation be made of
freight rates to, from and within
southern territory, begs to request that
that order be extended to apply to pas
senger as well as to freight rates.
The phrase in the commissions press
release explaining the need for this in
vestigatiOn of freight rates could be
applied verbatim to the passenger sit
uation, for "the rates in question, in
many instances, differ materially for
substantially similar hauls on like
classes of traffic." as it is notorious
and universally admitted fact that col
ored passengers in southern traffic are
charged first class passenger rates but
are served with inadequate, inferior
and insufficient accommodations.
The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People, in
the event of compliance with its re
quest by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, will undertake to gather
and present at the hearings of the
commission, necessary evidence cover
ing this point.
Yours very truly,
JAMES WELDON JOHNSON,
Secretary.

Howard Ready to
Face Rivals in De-
batting Contests

Washington, d. C.-Announcement
is made of representatives to defend
Howard in its dual debate with At
lanta University and in the triangu-
lar debates with Lincoln and Union.
The Howard team to debate Atlanta
University on April IA, in the Andrew
Rankin Memorial Chapel will be COM
posed of Milo Craveth Murray of Nash
vile, Tenn, and Yancy l.. Sims of At
lanta, Ga.
The Triangular Debating League,
consisting of Atlanta, Howard and
Union universities, will hold its de-
bates on the evening of April %. The
Howard team to meet Union in Wash
ington will consist of Frederick Har-
old Robb of Hartford, Conn.,, Louis
Eugene King, Buckeyestown, Md, and
Harold Edward Bledsoe, Marlin, Tex.
The Howard team to meet Lincoln
University at Lincoln will be: Earl
Russell Alexander of Washington, ID.
c., Edward A. Simmons of Charleston,
S. c., and Zephaniah Alexander LOBBY
of Antigua, b. w. l. The alternates
are: Albert C. Gilbert of New York
City, James Arthur Curry of Thomas
vile, n. c., James Garland Wood, Cot
ton Plant, Ark, Arnold e. Stowe and
Frank Williams of Fayetteville, n. G.
With the final selection of the three
teams to represent Howard University
all preliminary arrangements regard
ing the coming Intercollegiate debates
have been determined and the student
body is looking forward with conf
dence to the results. The personnel of
the teams represents previous debating
experience as well as high standard
of forensic ability which is undoubt-
edly due to the unusual interest in de-
batting this year. There has been keen
competition among the prospectives for
the honor of representing the univer-
Sity in debating.
One of the contributing factors to
the unusual interest shown in debat-
ing this year has been the formation
at Howard of a national honorary de-
batting fraternity to which only var
sity debaters are eligible. The confer
ence held at Howard on March %, to
which delegates from Lincoln and Vir-
ginia Union universities came, led to
permanent organization of the honor
ary debating society to be known as
the Delta Sigma Chi fraternity. The
historic Kappa Sigma Debating society
of Howard, the Kappa Gamma Chi of
Virginia Union University, and the
Delta Rho Forensic society of Lincoln
University merged into the new ma
tional honorary fraternity. This is the
first honorary fraternity to be estab-
lished among Negro college men. Its
aims are similar to those of the Delta
Sigma Rho existing among the leading
white colleges-the development of
closer relationship among debaters in
Negro colleges, the promotion of high
er ideals in debating, and the warding
of honorary keys for meritorious
work. The provisional officers of the
fraternity are: ]. Garland Wood of
Howard University, president; Fred
erick D. Johnson of Virginia Union
University, vice president, and e. Lu-
ther Brooks of Lincoln University, sec

CHARLESTON, w. Va, March %.
1.-THE mob spirit dictated this
- conviction" "The bloodthirsty
mob spirit permeated the atmosphere
of the trial and had its effect upon
court and jury"
The above quotation is from unan-
imous opinion of the West Virginia Su-
preme Court of Appeals written by
Judge Frank Lively and handed down
Tuesday ordering new trial of Harry
Lattimer, Negro, convicted in the CIR
cult Court of Mingo county on the
charge of raping an S-year-old white
girl on Sept. 6, 1921. The same day he
was arrested and within twenty-four
hours had been indicted, tried, con-
yicted, sentenced to be hanged and was
on his way to the state penitentiary,
according to the records of the case.
The reason for this exceeding hur-
ried conviction is apparent in the state
ment from the Circuit Court, which
has been made part of the record. In
this statement the judge of the Cir
cult Court said: II knew that feeling
was running high against the accused
in and about the court house and had
some fear of mob violence being in
flicted on the accused if speedy JUS
tice were not meted out to him by the
court"

CONCEPT AT TRIANoN
 INTERPRETING STUDY

Trianon audiences are getting rare treat this week in the photoplay, "Conceit," which Is billed to appear all week. The picture is strong in its human appeal. and rich in scenic beauty.
 The story is that of wealthy so- ciety man, who. while having all of the conceit possible, is an arrant cow ard. His cowardice makes him the object to ridicule, even at the hands of those whom he considers his best friends.
 Even his wife holds him in such contempt that he makes no bones about the paramour that has taken his place in her affections. Eventually he attempts to muster up sufficient cour- age to assert himself but is reduced to abject fear and suffers the man, whom he tries to expel from his house. to slap him.
 This last indignity arouses some spark of latent manhood and he goes to friend in his extremity who ar ranges sequence Of affairs that serves the purpose. After an awaken Ing, he becomes a different man. so much different. in fact, that he is al- most too aggressive.

 "of course dental hygienists must work under the supervision of dentist. and we must pass the state board and get a license. Then, too, there is another branch of work which qualities women as assistants to dentists, which is separate and apart from that of dental hygiene.
 "The care of the teeth has come to be such a tremendous factor 'n the prevention of disease, that the world is slowly realizing to some extent the importance of good teeth. However, the realization has not come as rapidly as 1t should and there are yet many people who do not attach the importance to 1t that is necessary.
 "The requirements for a woman to become successful in dentistry either as an assistant dentist or as 8 dental hygienist are practically those of the trained nurse, I'd say; nerve patience. and perseverance, and above al liking the work.
