This can also be truly said in refer
ence to the famous tragedy by Oscar
Wilde, 'Salome." If we mistake not,
Miss Evelyn Preer has the honor and
the great distinction Of being the first
colored actress in this country to at
tempt to impersonate Salome and
with a great deal of artistic ability and
with rare modesty she acquitted her
self well in rendering her several diff
hcult and trying parts and very few
actresses in this country have the edge
on her when it comes down to real
or high-class dramatic art, and she is
a brilliant star of the first magnitude
and she is just as graceful, beautiful
and enchanting as our own Mary Gar
den and her dancing will compare
more than favorably with hers, Mr..

Last Friday evening the Red Caps
moved into their new home, 3441
South Wabash avenue, where they
held a good old-time housewarming,
the building having recently passed
into the hands of the Red Caps, who
are connected with the Illinois Cen
trail depot, Twelfth street station, the
Polk street or the Dearborn station,
and the Northwestern station.
Their motto: Proficiency and eff
cient service, and the uplift of human
ity, morally and intellectually" The
above motto is a splendid one and the
members Of the Red Caps club will
strictly adhere to it.
Delaware's high class orchestra fur

Some of them claim that colored

while others claim they are hunting

statements is true. The colored peo-
pie love the South dearly, and prefer
very much to remain within its Dor

A GLIMPSE AT SOCIETY
By DR.. M. A. Majors

We often hear people say this or
that happens in the best regulated
families. 1t then becomes pertinent
that it does not happen oftimes in
families not at all regulated. 1t is also
true that the best regulated families
are not always to be depended upon.
Society itself does not always get its
nutriment and growth from the best
regulated families. But when we ask
the question who constitutes society,
and what is it you find yourself drift
ing toward chaos. AS we view it,
There is all fashioned and apparently
formed before ones gaze a beautiful
thing to look at, but when you pune
ture the thing, or attempt to analyze
it you will find it some kind of crude,
/ ill-shaped mass of conglomerate as
well as Heterogeneous nonsense.
The real, genuine true-hearted peo-
pie take but very little stock in social
upheavals. Snobbery would be good
name for the thing most people call
society. The better than thou-the
ultra-cast impostors, Shiny with the
ugliness of perverted infamy, regaled
in the gaudy gloss, get their protection
In the low walks Of crime because they
are united in the deviltry committed
by their sort.
They have their glow and their
after-glow, their twilight and their
radiant morn, moonshine and the rest
Of it, and they bask for a time in the
mellow light of artificial splendor and
then we hear the words go around,
well, it happens in the best regu-
lated families"
| Sometimes we go far away in the
fields Of though peradventure to find
the ideal, and then we find the path
leading US to nowhere only to find
shadows growing dim about US. BY
the way truth marks as guide posts
we find our way back into realism.
Society was nowhere to be found. We
saw the blood of heroes coursing the
veins Of rich idiot. We were as
tonished at the loneliness Of some joy
Gus narcissus, gaudy in attire, but
minus in the far reaches Of virtue.
What is all this we hear about the
Dest element; the best blood? The
best element may not live where lux
Try raises its naughty head at all Lots
Of the best people live in squa1or, just
as the purest girl is not arrayed in
fnery- The vulgar eye concentrates
upon the gown Of folly, and the foolish
maiden, too, often surrenders to the
Establishments Of the snob.
In the upward trend of mankind the
thing called society is pointed out ,as
the social function. But If it were
merely that and nothing more, how
mach better the world would be. It
sets itself up as the chosen few to
look down with life-wrecking supe-
riority on the many, and this the hell
that much money leads Us to. Inde-
pendence, irreverence, disregard of
all things heavenly and divine.
The race is rapidly approaching that
social and intellectual status that 1t
invites the calcium light Of research
ers. journalists and the rest Of them
thrown on the scenery, that intelligent
analysis Of the thing called problem

MIGRATION OF NEGRO
MAY BENEFIT SOUTH
Georgia Jurist Declares Their
Going Is First Rays of Dawn
of a Better Day

ATHENS, Sept. 14.-(By the
Associated ss.}-Negro migra-
ton to Northern states was liken-
ed to "the first pale rays of the
dawn of better day" for the
South by Judge Blanton Fortson,
Western Georgia judicial circuit, in
an address prepared for delivery
to members of the Eighth and
Ninth Congressional District Press
associations, in joint session here
today.
THE fundamental reason for the
negro migration is the restriction
on Southern European immigra-
ton" said the jurist. These i'm
migrants have for a generation
constituted the unskilled labor sup
ply of the North, Fearing, be-
cause of their inability to be as
simulated by US, for the safety of
our institutions, congress has at
last taken measures reducing the
number of these people to be ad-
mitted.
Therefore, there exists a labor
shortage in all Industrial centers,
and it is to fill this shortage that
the negro is going North. Many
influences are and will be brought
to bear upon congress to let down
the bars Of this. horde. l ask you,
gentlemen, not only to oppose this
but to urge even more restrictions.
These immigrants frequently con-
stitute the worst elements in their
respective countries. They have
no knowledge or sympathy for our
institutions. They create disorder
and almost are impossible to as
simulate.
Understand me, l am speaking
of the Southern European--not
the Northern races. The latter are
always welcome here But the
Southern European, whether he is
superior or inferior, it not like US,
and l repeat, he should be kept
out. And, if he is kept out, the
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1923-09-14

negro will with ever-increasing
numbers migrate to the Northern
industrial centers. AS he goes,
white men of superior standards of
living, of more intelligence, more
energy and greater industry, will
take his place. Our farms will
gradually improve, Labor prices
will constantly advances. Manu-
featuring will increase, and the
South will catch step with the rest
of the nation"
