This coming Sunday afternoon, September 24, promptly at 3 o'clock memorial exercises will be held at the Wendell Phillips' High School, 39th street and Prairie avenue, in honor of the late Rt. Rev. Biship Samuel Fallow, who recently passed away at his home in this city, in which he was dearly beloved and held in the highest esteem by all of its citizens, for he was truly a warm and steadfast friend to all humanity and above all else he was at all times an unswerving friend of the colored race. Bishop Fallows was born in Pendleton, Lancashire, England, December 13, 1835, and came to America in 1848 with his parents, Thomas and Anna Ashworth Fallows, who settled in Wisconsin. He received a degree from the University of Wisconsin in 1859 and became that same year vice-president of Galesburg (Wis.) University, a post which he held until the outbreak of the Civil war, when he was commissioned chaplain of the Thirty-second Wisconsin Infantry. In April, 1861, just when the opening of the war was beginning to be heard, he had married Miss Lucy Bithia Huntington, of Marshall, Wis. In June, 1863, the chaplain resigned his commission. A year later, May 30, 1864, he became lieutenant-colonel of the Fortieth Wisconsin Infantry, and in January, 1865, he was commissioned colonel of the Forty-ninth. In October, 1865, Col. Fallows was made a brigadier general of volunteers "for meritorious services." The general had entered the reformed Episcopalian ministry upon his graduation from college in 1859. After the war, he resumed his min- --- THE BROAD AX istry, and, in 1875, became rector of St. Paul's Church here in Chicago. He received his bishopric in 1876. Elected as Bishop Bishop Fallows was eight times elected presiding bishop of the Reformed Episcopal Church, a post which he held at the time of his death. He was a nationally known figure in educational, church and patriotic circles, and was the author of numerous books. He was chaplain in chief of the Grand Army of the Republic in 1907 and 1908, and was national patriotic instructor of the veterans' organization in 1908 and 1909. CHICAGO, ILL, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1922 P. THE LATE RT. REV. BISHOP SAMUEL FALLOWS This Coming Sunday Afternoon, September 24, Memorial Exercises Will Be Held in His Honor at the Wendell Phillips High School, 39th Street and Prairie Avenue, at 3 o'Clock Sharp. At all times Bishop Fallows was true to the Stars and Stripes, he worshipped Old Glory morning, noon and night, and aside from gallantly fighting in the War of the Rebellion, he rendered his country great and important aid and assistance during the Spanish-American war and in the Word war for democracy. Bishop Fallows always greatly liked to be regarded as being one of the true and outspoken friends of the colored race. He presided over the memorable "Peace meeting" which was held at Bethel Church, the first Sunday in December in 1906. Just after this newspaper had stirred the whole country up in its long to be remembered fight against the late Benjamin R. Tillman, of South Carolina, Bishop Fallows served as the chairman of the Illinois Commission which brought forth the plans to celebrate the fifty years of freedom on the part of the colored people in this state in 1915; the last time that Bishop Fallows addressed the colored people was the middle of September, 1921, at that time the writer after others more prominent than himself had failed to interest him in that respect, called him up on the phone and explained to him that "it would be very pleasing to the colored people of Chicago if he would consent to speak at the Wendell Phillips High School in the interest of the Fort Dearborn Hospital" and Bishop Fallows responded back over the phone. "Put me down as a friend of the colored people and I will be there on time." He was loudly applauded when he strode into the hall, walking as straight as an Indian; frequently we would meet Bishop Fallows in the downtown district and he would always stop, shake hands and exchange pleasant greetings. It is well indeed that the best white and colored citizens have joined hands and will vie with each other in assisting to pay a lasting tribute to his undying memory. STATE KU KLUX OFFICIALS WAR IN COURT Springfield, Ill.—Rumblings of dissension within the ranks of the Kuk Klux Klan in Illinois were heard in the filing of three actions in Circuit Court in which the alleged officers of the Klan here are named. Attorneys for Bertram G. Christie of Chicago, imperial representative of the Klan in Illinois, obtained an injunction against James Brockman, former kleagle of the Klan here, restraining him from any further participation in the Klan's activities and Brockman soon after filed suit to recover $800 which he says is owed him by the Klan. In another suit filed Brockman seeks to recover $10,000 from Christie for alleged false imprisonment. After more than a year of seeking information and investigating the murder of a Mrs. Weber whose body was found in Maryland, Joseph Keller, a colored man, charged with the commission of the crime, was on Friday, September 15, released from the custody of the Maryland authorities, the evidence thus far found not warranting his detention longer. Credit is due to the Prince George County Branch of the N.A.A.C.P., as well as to the co-operation of the District of Columbia Branch, for the favorable outcome of this celebrated case. From the time of the arrest the Prince George County Branch used every means to keep in touch with the case as it progressed, while the Washington Branch during his incarceration in the District of Columbia, observed closely the third degree process as it was used to force a confession from Keller and instituted steps, when extradition proceedings were begun, to have him released. When this failed, and he was carried to Upper Marlboro, Md., the District of Columbia Branch, advised by the Prince George County Branch, was instrumental in interesting the State's Attorney, Mr. Kline. From information furnished by the Chairman of the Legal Committee, Mr. James A. Cobb, Mr. Kline took up the matter. On invitation of the State's Attorney, Mr. Cobb appeared at the first hearing in May, reviewed the evidence with the State's Attorney's office and was called in, consultation when final reports were made by Maryland detectives and was successful in convincing them that evidence was lacking to further hold Keller. In the last conference with Justice of Peace, J.A. Joyce and the State's Attorney, Mr. Cobb was advised of the discharge of the prisoner and was asked to give assurances that when Keller was charged he would not become a charge upon the State. Mr. Cobb assented to the proposition. Funds were furnished by the District of Columbia Branch for the transportation of Keller to his home in Summerville, S. C. Accompanied by Mr. Shelby J. Davidson, Executive Secretary of the District of Columbia Branch, and Mr. J. A. G. LuValle of the Washington Tribune, Mr. Cobb appeared at the Court House located at Mt. Ranier, Md., and after formalities attending the release, received Keller in the name of the N.A.A.C.P. At the adjournment of Court, accompanied by the Sheriff and his deputy on either side of the car, Keller was brought into the District of Columbia and sent home the following morning with his brother who had been summoned for the purpose. JUDGE GUALANO NAMED A CHEVALIER BY ITALY In recognition of his services to the Italian residents of Chicago. Municipal Court Judge Alberto N. Gualano has been appointed a Chevalier of the Crown by King Victor Emmanuel of Italy. Formal notice of the honor was given Judge Gualano last Saturday by Consul General Zunini of the Italian Consulate. The honor, which carries with it a gold cross, will be officially conferred upon Judge Gualano at a banquet at the Morrison Hotel, Columbus Day. Judge Gualano is a native of Abruzzi, Italy. He received his education in his native land. He is the only Italian-born and Italian-educated judge in the United States. 5 CENTS per copy Rt. Rev. Wendell Avenue, 24. WHITE WOMEN IN COLORED SOCIAL LIFE The white peoples have always produced persons of a peculiar type among them, who for various reasons wander off, so to speak, from the strictly racial pastures, and browse in the neighboring green fields of differently colored sheep. Wearied with the emptiness and artificiality of white "society," these persons find comfort in the wilderness with some savage squaw as a wife or else substituted for their white consort, some black Juno secretly or openly, who appeals to him more than race. Down in Georgia and neighboring states, where the color line means death to the black MAN, who crosses it, numerous are the white males (southern gentlemen?) from the highest grades of so-called white society, who exhibit their preference for the society of black Venuses rather than that of their pale faced sisters. So it is not a horror of mixing the blood that bothers this class but something else. In the North, very few white men bother at Negro women, the reason is not far to seek. Negro women have no money, and the Northern white man dearly loves money. But surprising as it may seem, here many white women, both respectable and doubtful characters, are found skulking around at parties, socials, entertainments, dances and picnics with Negro and Mulatto sweethearts and sometimes husbands. Many a woman you see on the street looking so so-and-so has one of these on the side, sometimes married, sometimes not. The lot of one of this class is not happy. It is pitiful to see one of them at some Negro society gathering, trying vainly to strike up a conversation with some black Judith, who promptly recognizing an enemy concentrates upon the luckless white female an amount of scorn unbelievable. The white lady usually retires scorched and withered and at other times the atmosphere is so cold that she runs for cover, while her black inamorato carelessly pretends not to notice any thing. But of course, white women do no better. Should a black lady enter a dancing room upon the arm of a white gentleman, all the white ladies would be duly shocked and the black beauty would perhaps retire minus hair and plus scratches. All social lines are drawn by the women. The above is from the pen of Gustave B. Aldrich, Tacoma, Wash. BISHOP FALLOWS' WILL DIS- POSES OF ESTATE OF $15,000 The will of Bishop Samuel Fallows, late head of the Reformed Episcopal church in America, disposing of an estate estimated at about $15,000 was filed for probate last Saturday before William Helander, assistant to Probate Judge Henry Horner. Under the terms of the will the entire estate is given outright to a daughter, Miss Alice Kathine Fallows, 1618 West Adams street. Three other children, Edward H. Fallows, floor leader in the New York assembly during Col. Theodore Roosevelt's regime as governor; Maj. Charles S. Fallows, Saratoga, Cal., and Mrs. Helen F. Mayer of Los Angeles, are named executors. Bishop Fallows died on Sept. 5, when he was more than 85 years old. The will, which was filed by Attorneys Haight, Adcock & Harris, was executed on June 16, 1919.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR CHILDREN'S BUREAU, WASHINGTON County Welfare Boards Promote Child Care in Rural Communities The most recent administrative advances in the local care of dependent, defective, and delinquent children are described in a report just issued by the United States Department of Labor through the Children's Bureau, entitled "County Organization for Child Care and Protection." Administration of care for neglected, handicapped, or delinquent children by local boards of citizens, employing trained workers and aided by State boards, is, according to the report, the plan which is gaining approval in a constantly increasing number of States Within recent years laws requiring or permitting some form of county welfare organization of broad scope have been passed in Arkansas, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, and Virginia, while individual counties, private agencies, or State boards in Alabama, California, Florida, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina are working out similar plans without special legislative action. County organization concerned mainly with the care of dependent children is found in Arizona, Indiana, New York, and Ohio. The report summarizes recent developments in these States and presents detailed accounts of the methods used in Minnesota, North Carolina California, New Jersey, and New York, where county organizations for child care are especially well developed. These accounts are written, in each case, by the persons who have been most directly concerned in working out the plans described. In the past, according to the report 1910 PETER H. H. M. B. HON.

The recent rapid growth of county welfare work has come about largely as a result of the development of state-wide plans, but local organization is usually put into effect only after the county has indicated a desire for it. "There can be no welfare department unless the supervisors are ready to have it," says the Secretary of the California State Board of Charities and Corrections, while the Director of the Minnesota Children's Bureau declares that it has not been necessary to stimulate the local communities in this regard, since they have already made requests faster than the State department could meet the demand. Of 86 counties in Minnesota, 69 have child-welfare boards. Securing of executives or superintendents trained for such work is said to offer the greatest difficulty in con- THE NEW YORK TIMES Probate Court of Cook County Who is at the Wendell Phillips High September 24.

In the country the welfare worker has to be a general practitioner, but he must have knowledge of the standard practice in the various fields of child welfare work as well as the understanding and common sense necessary to adapt these methods to rural conditions. The plans are not exactly alike in any two States, and it is likely, the report points out, that methods of work are not identical in any two counties of the same State. Due to variations "either in basic conditions or in local preferences for certain methods of handling situations," the report declares, "probably no State will find it practicable to follow in detail the plans adopted by any other State, however successful they may have proved," but "the basic principles are in agreement." In counties of small population or those possessing agencies whose work already covers a part of the field, the care and protection of children may be combined with public health nursing, enforcing school attendance, preventive and reconstructive work with families, including "poor relief" and supervision of persons on probation or parole. In others the task is extensive enough to warrant dealing separately with each of these groups of activities, but the general tendency is in the direction of broad, co-ordinated programs. The movement toward unified county organization of welfare work is frequently, the report states, the result of "local effort to combine modern principles of social work with business methods." Duplication of work is thus eliminated and neglected fields are discovered and provision made for them. KLAN THREATENS BOOZE RING WITNESSES, CHARGE Death threats by the Ku Klux Klan, Inc., against Negro porters who are witnesses for the government in the $2,000,000 booze smuggling ring that operated on trains between Chicago and New Orleans were reported last Saturday by Agent A. Johnson. He requested extra guards if he is to be sent South with any of the porters, who will be asked to identify leaders in the conspiracy. The grand jury hearing the evidence in the case was sworn in Saturday. Johnson reported that whiskey is being sold in New Orleans for 25 cents a drink. That is nothing. Moonshine is being sold right along in Chicago for forty and fifty cents per drink—so they say—Editor. ```markdown ``` CHICAGO, ILL. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1922 KEEP PACE WITH MEDICAL PROGRESS The discovery of vaccine lymph as a means of protection against smallpox has saved countless thousands of lives. This was in 1794 and now over 100 years later, medical science has made another wonderful discovery in toxin-antitoxin for the prevention of diphtheria. And just as in the past, careful right thinking parents have had their children vaccinated against smallpox so now they can have them vaccinated against diphtheria and know that they will not have this dreaded disease. Vaccination with toxin-antitoxin is a simple, harmless process and has been found to be over 90 per cent effective and to provide immunity during the period when children are susceptible to diphtheria, if exposed. If only all parents in Chicago would have their children protected, there would soon be no cases or deaths due to this disease. And think what this would mean, when last year there were 9,313 cases and 683 deaths. Why not all get together to stamp out a disease for which medical science has provided both a preventive and a cure and which can be had practically without cost? When we permit children to die needlessly, there is a terrible responsibility somewhere; and it would seem that careless and indifferent parents cannot be held blameless. You can protect your children against diphtheria by the use of toxinantitoxin. Consult your family physician or call the Department of Health. Soft Drinks The Sanitary Code requires all manufacturers of waters, carbonated waters, aerated or still beverages to obtain a license and pay a fee to the City Collector before beginning operations, and annually thereafter. When application for a license is received, the Commissioner of Health causes an inspection of the premises to be made to insure sanitary conditions and proper equipment. It is also required by ordinance that all bottles and syphons used by bottlers shall have the manufacturer's name indicated thereon. Inspections by the Food Bureau during the past few months have disclosed a number of "bootleg" or "mushroom" manufacturers without licenses, who are bottling so-called soft drinks in utter defiance of legal and sanitary requirements. Fifteen of these gentry, trying to turn a dishonest penny during the Volstead drought, have been run to earth and put out of business. Citizens who thirst after strong fire water know by this time that they risk eyesight and life itself when indulging in the prohibited draught. The Department will rigidly enforce the penalties provided, upon discovery of anyone trying to profit illegally from the general thirst of the community.

UNIVERSAL PEACE CONGRESS TO DISCUSS RACE QUESTION The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People have announced through its Secretary, James Weldon Johnson, the receipt of a letter from Mr. Golay, General Secretary of the International Bureau of Peace, with headquarters at Berne, Switzerland, stating that that organization at its Twenty-Second Congress, held in London, July 25-29, adopted the following resolutions: "The International Bureau of Peace is asked to put on the Agenda of the next International Peace Congress the question of the relations of the white and colored races." Mr. Golay in his letter further states that the Bureau was directed to communicate this resolution to the governments of the world, to the delegates to the Assembly of the League of Nations, and to all institutions interested in the question. The letter concludes with a request of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to provide the Bureau with documents and information that will enable it to obtain adequate information regarding the question to be discussed. LEMONT FURNACE, PA. According to the Federated Press an attempt to replace the Hungarians, Slavs, Poles, Austrians and Italians, who have been working in the coal mines of this vicinity, with men of Anglo-Saxon, Teutonic or Negro parentage is being made by the operators. Thousands of men, mostly colored, are being brought in by the operators in a vain effort to break the strike. Mrs. Augustus L. Williams, 3655 Prairie avenue, wife of Attorney A. L. Williams, is visiting in Austin, Texas, where she attended funeral services held over the remains of her mother, Mrs. Glasco, who recently passed away in that city. TEXAS GRAND JURY SLAMS MOB The September Grand Jury sitting here took occasion to condemn the action of a mob which defiled the body of Jesse Thomas, alleged murderer of Harrell Bolton. Bolton was killed escorting a woman who was alleged to have been attacked after Bolton's killing. Jesse Thomas taken as the suspect to the home of the woman was identified by her as the guilty man. The woman's father then killed Thomas and his body was removed to an undertaking establishment. The mob, enraged because it had lost the opportunity to lynch Thomas stormed the undertaking establishment, took the body, set fire to it on a public square and then dragged the partially burned body through the streets. The Grand Jury was especially charged to investigate the Bolton murder but not enough evidence was adduced to justify any indictment. The Grand Jury report reads in part as follows: "In connection with the Bolton murder the consensus of opinion of the Grand Jury is that Bolton came to his death at the hands of a Negro answering the description of Jesse Thomas. However, there has been considerable testimony presented to the Grand Jury that would leave doubt as to the guilt of Jesse Thomas. "In connection with the killing of Jesse Thomas we wish to condemn the action of the mob in dragging his body through the streets of Waco and afterwards burning the same and urge all law abiding citizens to uphold the law at all times." CASUALTY COMPANY ENTERS THE NATION'S CAPITAL The Supreme Life and Casualty Company of Columbus, Ohio has just received from Hon. Burt A. Miller, Superintendent of Insurance of the District of Columbia a certificate of compliance, enabling the company to operate there. This Company was organized a little more than a year ago and has made very rapid progress. It was the first strictly old line legal reserve life insurance company of our racial group to be organized in and licensed by the insurance department of a northern state, and it has begun active insurance operations during that period in the States of Ohio, West Virginia, Arkansas and in the District of Columbia. It has the further distinction of being the only company of our group which has produced and presented to the American public a standard casualty policy. In going from the "capital of the mid-west to the capital of the nation," Supreme life adds to its record of achievement and takes its place among progressive companies of today. MIGRANTS COMING HERE FROM DETROIT At least six or seven men a day come into the employment offices of the Chicago Urban League from Detroit. Their testimony is that the automobile business with the exception of the Ford Company is suffering a slump in the fall and winter, therefore the men during this season go to other places seeking work. It is probable that a much larger number of men come to Chicago than those which come into the offices of the Chicago Urban League. If the Ford factory, employing a large number of Negroes, closes down for any considerable length of time a large number of men may be expected from that source. The Ford company, heretofore has been the one big plant in the automobile industry in Detroit which has been running throughout the year since the demand for Ford cars is constant rather than seasonable. WHITE MEN PROTECT NE- GROES FROM KU KLUX KLAN Baton Rouge, La.—There appeared at Lottie, 34 miles from here, 43 men dressed in Klan regalia last Saturday headed toward the Negro section. They were prevented from going there by John M. Wilson, J. M. Baron and S. D. Cochran of the Wilson and Cochran Lumber Company. The masked men were ordered to turn around or there would be trouble. Going back to town it was found that occupants of two automobiles were not masked and in one of them apparently directing the party was a man said to be the manager of the Lumber Company at Elliott City, a mile away. The Elliott City concern has been in strong competition with the Lottie Company and clashes over Negro labor are said frequently to have occured between the two companies. WOMEN "KLAN" BAND WHIPS MOTHER Fort Worth, Tex.—Suffering from wounds administered last Thursday night when she was taken from her home and whipped by unmasked women, Mrs. I. C.

While alone at the little weather-beaten cottage, Mrs. Tatum heard an automobile stop in front of her house late in the evening. A knock was heard at the door and she responded. Had Been Ill "Mrs. Tatum, your daughter is sick—seriously ill—and she has asked for you," said a woman standing at the door. "I just thought it some kind lady who had come to take me to see the child and I quickly went to the car," said Mrs. Tatum. "I had been sick—seriously sick, and I thought I could stand the trip. "In the car were two women and one man who sat in the rear seat of the automobile with me. I did not know any of them. One of the women told me her name, but of course, it wasn't her real name. "We drove on over to the Dallas Pike and were headed for the city. I had thought nothing was wrong, was only thinking of the child, when the man reached over and placed handcuffs on my hands. "What does this mean?" I asked him. "You will soon find out," was his answer. "I didn't know what to think. I tried to control myself the best I could. Frightened as I was and with it being dark I can't say exactly what route we took, but I think they must have driven into some place in River-side near the Trinity River. ```markdown ``` M. HON.

BLINGS, WENDED HIS WAY AS FAR WEST AS BAKERSFIELD, CAL- IFORNIA, AND HE HAS HAD A ROYAL OLD TIME IN THAT SEC. TION OF THE WEST. I would be in some other part of the world, but believe me when I tell you that I have been going some looking for health. I did not think that through that wonderful physician, Dr. George C. Hall, and this trip, I ‘am about to feel like another man. But, honey, it is as hot as the place where some people are going if you don't care about what you say. We all know of the death of Dr. E. C. Morris, and now that he has Been laid to rest, they haye called the next session of the National Baptist convention to be held in St. Louis, Mo., December 6, and have invited me to be there, and if I keep my word and life, I expect to be there, do you? Of course there is much being said now as to who would be a good man to succeed Dr. E. C. Mor- ris, and I have but one name to offer for that place and that is the name of Dr. L_ K Williams, pastor of the Olivet Baptist church, and I am sure that he is the man that should be the next president, and he will carry out the work, and see to it that Dr. A. M. Townsend is supported in the re- election of the Publishing House for the Sunday Schoo! Board of the Na- tional Baptist convention, and I will join in the chorus. Since I wrote you that other letter, I got myself together, stopped over in Colorado Springs, where Bishop H. B. Parks, D.D., was holding a conference, and exchanged a few words with him, and then made it on to Denver where I was the guest of the Rev. Dr. W. H. Thomas, pastor of the Shorter Chapel A.M.E. church, the largest church in the city of Den- ver now. There was a time that Zion was some pumpkins, but it is down at the heels now, and we are turning’ attention to the other churches. They have had a’heluva time in: Zion, and many of the members have left. The pastor declares that he is going to remain if he is the only member and he willshave to pay his own salary. You know something about Denver —in fact you know more than I can tell you, and I am not going to try, but I remained in the city only one night, and then off to another part of the country. I got me a bed car from Denver to Williams, Arizona, where I had to change to go to Grand Canyon, and if, you have never been thefe I would recommend that you go and see for yourself. It is reached by the Santa Fe and a place absolute- ly free from prejudice, where a man is a man, and his accommodation is backed by his dollars and not by his color. There are two hotels, amd they are open to the public, medium and irst-class. One of them you can get 2 room as cheap as $1.50, and the other runs from $6 up including, meals. I stopped at one of the hotels, and as to which one I am not going jo tell you, for you may have some- hing to say about it, and since it was ny pocketbook’s business, you must seep out of it ) Would you like to have me tell you rhat this thing is? I couldn't if I}: ried, but I will just say it is won-| lerful. You stand on the top of a/: nountain and look down for one mile, || ocks of various colors, and it is just| 3 miles across, and there forms the |: ed of the Colorado river.

He is a fur- niture dealer, and then he owns a whole block right in the business heart of Bakersfield, and is still build- ing. He has a keen business eye, and it is due to the fact that he is a trained man from home and then in the school room, Mrs. Winters is a worker in Cal- ifornia, and she is getting into the hearts of the people of the country by servire. She has a voice that will just go right to your hearts, and be- fore you realize it you are shouting or crying. I wish you could just see her for yourself and then you would know what I am talking about. I am going from here to San Fran- cisco, and then to Los Angeles, Phoenix, Arizona, and Albuquerque, New Mexico, and next will land me in Kansas City. I am going some, and all this is because I have some friends, who made this trip possible, and they say if necessary I should remain longer, and they will see that I live. In this number are C. c. Spaulding, of Durham; J. M. Avery, of Durham; Dr. George C. Hall, of Chicago; Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Malone, St. Louis, Mo.; Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green, of New Orleans, La.; Grand Chancellor S. H. Thompson, M.D., of Kansas City, Kansas, and I could mention others, whose names I do not recall. I have many friends in this world. Lots of people had Prepared just like me, to come to the convention ‘and they are out here now, and still others are coming. They had put aside the time and the money and now they are using them to see the country. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, cor- responding secretary, and president of the National Training School for girls and women, Washington, D. C., had prépared a wonderful report and while the convention did not meet she had some few things to say, and as the report was printed she is send- ing to those who will send her the price of printing. In speaking of “Unrest,” she says: “The unrest among Negroes is a resentment of conditions under which we are compelled to live, labor and travel. The unrest is expressed by the exodus from certain sections and in the old complaints against filthy Jim Crow cars and the treatment re- ceived at the hands of insolent, un- couth railroad employes. Only once! in a while do we find decent coaches on the roads in the south. The stenchy, half- and quarter-length boxes next to the baggage cars are used for Negro passengers on nearly all of the roads. There will be no contentment and little faith in the in- erracial Movement unless Negroes sre given clean waiting rooms, full ength coaches and courteous treat- ment. Patting a few Negroes on the yack, patting © few others on pay olls, and talking brotherly love, is . brand of conscience salve that ag- sravates rather than helps the case “Think of Negroes traveling from Washington to Key West, Fla., or to jalveston, Texas, without being able o get a meal on a diner. When they re allowed to go in, they are em- arrassed and humiliated by that in- amous Last Call arrangement. Think f being forced to sit up all night vhen we are a’ le to pay for reserva- ions. Do not overlook the fact that he Negroes who ride in sleeping cars ind take their meals in dining cars re as cultured and as clean and as vell dressed as the white people who re privileged to enjoy such comforts nd conveniences. “Hundreds of Negro leaders of ed- cation, culture and means are com- elled to travel year in and year out fany of them are the representatives f Social Welfare and Good Will fovements. They are killing them- elves by riding in Jim Crow cars ight and day, going without meals, uffering all kinds of hardships, and tanding all kinds of humiliation for he sake of the cause. The first step ward a better feeling is toward hu- lane treatment.” ‘Miss Burroughs, addresses herself > the common sense members of the ‘ational Baptist convention, asking nem to consider the advisability of viding the convention biennially in-| jead of annually and she makes a rong argument which, if considered, ould save money enough in two mrs pew fer Gee eubliciine chant! \ ag, .
