EXTRA THE BROAD AX EXTRA The Bloody Reign of the Ku-Klux Klan in Oklahoma Has Caused Governor Walton of That State to Proclaim Martial Law Which Will Reach Every Nook and Corner in It. He Is Fully Determined to Check the Reign of Terror and to Protect the Lives and Property of Its Citizens. The Hon. J. C. Walton, the fighting governor of Oklahoma, for some time has been engaged in a hand-to-hand or rough-and-tumble fight with the Ku Klux Klan, who seem determined to run or rule over all the people of that state and to conduct all of its affairs to suit themselves to such an extent that Governor Walton states that they own or control all of the higher court judges, state's attorneys throughout that state, that it is utterly impossible to convict any member or members of the Ku Klux Klan in any court for the many revolting crimes which they are constantly committing against the white and colored citizens, including women and little children, both white and colored. With this serious state of affairs confronting him, Governor Walton has issued the following proclamation placing every inch of ground in that state under martial law. The Governor's Proclamation The proclamation of Gov. Walton placing the entire state of Oklahoma "One—That a state of insurection and rebellion against the laws and constituted authorities of the state of Oklahoma does exist within and throughout the state of Oklahoma, "Two—That a general status of public alarm and fear and jeopardy of life, of peace and of personal safety does exist among its citizens throughout the state of Oklahoma. "Three—That martial law be and the same hereby is proclaimed within and throughout the entire state of Oklahoma, each and every county and city thereof, and the military forces of the state of Oklahoma are hereby ordered and commanded to occupy such place or places as may be directed and commanded by the governor or the adjutant general of this state. Orders Absolute Martial Law "Four—That absolute martial law be and the same hereby is ordered and proclaimed in the city of Oklahoma City and in Oklahoma county, Oklahoma, and in Creek county, Oklahoma. "Five—That from and after the date of this proclamation each and every person within this state of Oklahoma to aid or abet the said lawless organization, commonly known as the Ku Klux Klan, either directly or indirectly, or give aid or comfort to the same in the carrying out and execution of the purposes of the Ku Klux Klan, shall now be deemed to be enemies of the sovereign state of Oklahoma and shall be dealt with by the military forces of the state. "This proclamation shall be enforced and in effect from and after 12 o'clock midnight of Sept. 15, 1923." Confers With Advisors The new order for state-wide martial law came from the governor after a conference with advisors at his home. Only newspapers that by editorials and news stories incite "masked marauders to insurrection against constituted authority," will be subject to censorship. Gov. Walton said today in a telegram to the Baltimore Evening Sun. The executive's message was in reply to a telegram from Hamilton Owens, editor of the newspaper. Asks About Censorship "The Evening Sun has from time to time praised your efforts to rid Oklahoma of masked marauders," said Mr. Owens' telegram. "We have, however, been somewhat disturbed at the imposition of a censorship upon the Tulsa Tribune. Could you wire us a statement of your view on the necessity of this action? "The fight in this state is between the state of Oklahoma." Mr. Walton replied "and the invisible empire, which is seeking to gain control and rule. There will be no censorship of the press in this state except in cases where newspapers, by editorials and through newspaper stories, are in fact inciting masked marauders to insurrection against constituted authority. "The invisible empire of this state has gained control of prosecuting attorneys, shenefits, and of juries in many counties through klan jury commissions, so that it is impossible, to protect citizens or to prosecute masked marauders." I am being threatened personally and attacked in courts for my fight on this power, and I consider the very life of constitutional government, personal liberty, and personal safety is at stake, and I as chief executive pro? pose to invoke every power of the state to protect its sovereignty. Two governments cannot exist in this state at the same time." At the time of his election in 1922, Governor Walton who is an old time Democrat, received the votes of many colored men and women, for at that time they claimed that he could be trusted much further to do the right thing and that he was more friendly to the colored race than the Republican candidate who ran against him. So his career in regards to Negroes has been exceptional, in that at one time Negroes were so bitterly opposed to him that they refused to permit him to address any of their meetings or to support him in any way. The man responsible for a change of attitude on their part is Dr. Isaac W. Young, president of Langston University, formerly a practicing physician in Oklahoma City. Walton became concerned over the Negro attitude and called Young, with ten other leading Negroes, into conference. It was found out that the race in Oklahoma did not know the mayor, at that time. Young and the men with him carried Walton's message to their people, assuring them that the Farmer-on man was their friend as he was the friend of other persecuted groups. Since his election to the Governor's chair, Walton has proved it. He has stood behind Young at Langston. For the first time it is now an accredited institution. Walton has told Young who is himself a man of the first rank to go the limit in putting the school over. One of the improvements at Langston is an enlarged faculty. One of the new men brought to the school is Dr. Arthur Wallace. Dr. Wallace is Secretary. Through Young, Walton is keeping an eye on Negro schools throughout the State. Governor Walton highly deserves to win in his famous fight against the Ku Klux Klan, for he is on the side of law and order and he is in favor of all men having a fair show in Oklahoma. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1923 1 THE LATE MRS. NORA F. TAYLOR Funeral Services Were Held Over Her Earthly Remains Saturday Morning at Quinn Chapel, Which Was Filled to Overflowing. She Had Just Returned Home from Africa, Where She Caught the African Fever. On Arriving Home She Was Elected Grand Daughter Ruler of the Elks of the World. The Excitement Incident to Her Election Was Too Much for Her and She Suddenly Died from the Effects of a Complete Nervous Breakdown. Mrs. Nora F. Taylor, the evangelist, was born of humble Christian parents in Carrollton, Carroll Co. Mo., Jan. 22, 1879. At the age of six years she was found to be an exceptional child. She was converted at the age of 12 years and began an active Christian life. She was greatly intimidated by older persons who doubted child conversion. However, she joined the church of her father and mother and was baptized March, 1881, and became a teacher in the Sabbath school. She also spent all of her spare time in the home of the sick, the infirm and distressed, being a succor to many. The thought of her conversion being doubted, weighed heavily upon her, so at the age of 18 years she sought positive evidence of her acceptance with God and received it, and having then moved to Kansas City, Mo., she joined Ebenezer A. M. E. church in 1888, Rev. B. W. Stewart, pastor. In March, 1889, while on her knees at the altar in a revival praying over mourners, the Holy Ghost was poured out on her and God gave a definite call to the work of an evangelist. She was too timid to begin at once, but spent 13 years in preparation, during which time served three years as stewardess in her home church. She came to Chicago in 1891 for a short stay and united with Quinn chapel A. M. E. church. Rev. J. T. Jenifer, pastor. In 1892 she moved to Chicago to live, bringing her letter from Ebenezer A. M. E. church, Kansas City, Mo. She was received in full membership of Quinn chapel by Dr. Geo C. Booth, pastor, where she spent three years as stewardess, at the same time doing a great deal of prison and shum work. The Iowa annual conference, which met at Des Moines, Iowa, Sept. 1903, Bishop A. Grant, of sainted memory presiding officially authorized her as singing missionary evangelist, and from that time on she gave her life to the call of God and the cause of humanity. She was at one time president of the local Mite Missionary society of Quinn chapel, president of the Chicago Dio Missionary which she organized, and treasurer of the Chicago Conference Branch Missionary society, at whose conventions in Chicago and Detroit she took active part. She held successful revival services in the North and East and was always in demand. She was the author of several songs and pamphlets, and was a woman of great force and unspotted reputation. She was the first vice president of the parent body of the Mite Missionary society, and at the time of her death she was secretary and treasurer of the Women's Building fund, under supervision of the general missionary board of the A. M. E. church. The movement was highly indorsed by the Bishops' Council and Women's Parent Mite Missionary society. The object of the movement was to secure, or build, an A. M. E. headquarters in Monrovia, West Coast, Africa. She went to Africa and succeeded in securing the most modern building in Liberia. After completing the work she returned to her home in Chicago, August 8, 1923, where after three weeks with family and friends she was suddenly called from labor to reward. Her passing was more than sad and has left a void in the hearts of her home, America, Bermuda and Africa that can never be filled. Besides her religious work she was active in her clubs and fraternal societies. She was a member of the Cornell Charity club, The Heart and Hand. Easter Lily club, The Ministers' Alliance. She was also a member of the H. H. of Ruth No. 153 for more than 25 years; filled all stations; organizer of Past Most Noble Gov., Chamber No. 2; also the Ladies' Vet. No. 2; also Past District Grand M. N. G. of Endis Do. 9. She held this office 5 years; was also the 'founder of the Odd Fellows Home in Jacksonville, III, of which she was president at the time of her death. She was also a member of P. G. M. Council No. 20. She was a member of Electa Chapter No. 1, Prince Hall Ct. H of J. No. 39, member and organizer of Great Western Degree House No. 8. The Amanda Smith Tab. No. 55, G. U. O. of Fishermen of Galilee and was one of the grand officers. She was a member of Warden Temple No. 16, C. B. P. O. E. W., where she filled the station as Daughter Ruler. She was Grand Chaplain 5 years, and at the Grand Lodge convention at Chicago she was elected Grand Daughter Ruler of the C. B. P. O. E. W. and on August 31 was installed in her office. The saddest regrets of all Elkdom she did not get the chance to execute her office. This causes great gloom. She leaves to mourn her demise, a loving mother, Mrs. Emily Fields, two sisters, Mrs. Nannie Coates of Chicago; three brothers, W. W. Waters, Tullahassee Okla, George Fields, Chicago, Isaac Reed, Kansas City, Mo.; one devoted son, Benjamin W. Waters, and a host of friends and other relatives. The above short review of the interesting life of Mrs. Taylor was penned by one of her dearest friends; that friend failed to state, however, that funeral services were held over her mortal remains last Saturday morning at Old Quinn, chapel, which was her home church for so many years; that its pastor, Rev. H. E. Stewart, Bishop A. J. Carey and Rev. R. C. Ransom of New York City, preached the funeral sermon: that as Mrs. Taylor belonged to all branches of the A. M. E. Conference of this district its members came first in conducting her funeral services; and as the Masons always come next, the following orders followed in conducting their funeral rites: Eastern Court, Tyre Chapter, Electa Court, H. of J.; 153 Household of Ruth, G. U. O. O. F., P. D. M. N. G., also president of the home, Jacksonville; Warden Temple No. 16, Elks G.

It is a series of sketches and stories, part in Africa, part in England, written by a Welshman who left the "dew-drenched meadows," "the broad ivied wall" of home to work for years in British East Africa. He was a sheepman on a ranch not far from Nairobi. His stories contrast his work with other experiences, but all are sombre. It is his pictures of Africa that are of special interest. The animal life Powys treats in two sketches, one of a zebra, guarding the body of its dead mate, the other of a leopard whose padded footsteps bring terror to the baboons roosting on the rocks. Both are unforgettable. Of the native African he tells two powerful tales, both strikingly like stories from our own Southern States. "Rubbish" depicts a sickly, half-witted black boy who runs away and is so beaten that he dies of his wounds. The other, "Black Parasites," is a lynching of a boy who, under great provocation, steals a sheep. He is coralled and when caught the rubbish about him is set on fire and he burns with the other parasites. As his master puts it to a visitor, "I have been cleaning up the country, burning red ticks, blue ticks and black ticks." For the Englishman in Africa our writer has only contempt. As he reaches the coast to take his steamer he thus describes the white men of his race. "I never have seen such faces: without a trace of refinement, without a trace of sensibility, without a trace of distinction, of individuality, sharp, predatory, colonial, commonplace, no difference whatever, all exactly the same." Again he speaks "of the cheap, debased vulgarity that one Hand Club. No. 1 Easter Lily Club, No. 1 Fishermen of Gallilee, of which she was the founder. All of the front platform and the altar of the church were completely covered with beautiful floral offerings many of them being furnished by Mrs. Manley, who was a warm friend of Mrs. Taylor, and it required three autos to convey the flowers to Mt. Glenwood cemetery, the final resting place of Mrs. Taylor. Kersey, McGowan and Morsell, the up-to-date funeral directors, were in charge. On her return home from Africa August 8, where Mrs. Taylor had set up many lodges and had in many other ways assisted to enlighten the minds of the native Africans, she brought her bosom friend, Mrs. Mary Harsh, 2963 Federal street, a beautiful hand bag which was made by the Africans out of the inner tire tubes and it is something very rare to behold. Mrs. Harsh was never able to find enough words to fittingly thank her dead friend for it, who was very near and dear to her heart. has come to associate with the colonial"; and of "the peculiar atmosphere, vulgar and banal, which is created by Anglo Saxons anywhere out of England." I suspect we Americans should take this last to heart. Our vulgarity abroad is notorious. And the harsh, stupid, cruel Englishman in Africa can be matched by many Ku Klux in our country towns. The Africa of Powys is a tragic continent. When he knew he was to leave for home he went day after day to the sulphurous Lake Elmentita by which his days had been spent, to hear "the great troubled heart of the strange continent beat out its secret." wallowing in the lake, the pythons swimming across, the hard, metallic notes of the birds, the crude crimson and orange flowers, above all the great, hot eye of the sun, spoke to him. The beliefs that "the sweet and wistful atmosphere of an English country side" had built up within his heart were killed. "Africa, like one of her black-named lions, laps up the life blood of all the delicate illusions that have for so long danced before the eyes of men and made them happy. * * * What was suspected in Europe is made plain here: at the bottom of the well of life there is no hope. * * * In the clear light of this tropical sunshine, the hollow emptiness of the world's soul is made certain: the surface is everything, below there is nothing. It is an open secret that all can understand. It has even penetrated the thick skulls of these black men; the Masai, following their humpbacked camels, know of it, and the Kikuyi, bending over their cultivated plots cannot gainsay it. Missionaries bravely repeat to these black heads their wonderful and pathetic tales: they are not believed. Indians bring with them their farfetched, mystical teachings, but under the direct rays of this blazing sun all their oriental mysticism is brought to naught." One understands on reading the book why Theodore Dreiser was chosen to write the preface. Only a great pessimist would give it to the public with so welcoming a word. MR. AND MRS. CHAPMAN ENTERTAIN SOME OF THEIR OLD FRIENDS DURING THE WEEK Mr. and Mrs. George Chapman, 6142 South Elizabeth street, pleasantly entertained, the past week, Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Bomare and their dutiful son, Master Frederick Bomare, who have for some years past resided in Detroit, Mich., where Mr. Bomare held a responsible position with the General Motor company. They were on their way in their lovely touring car to Louisville, Ky., to make their future home, where Mr. Bomare will engage in the contracting business. On Saturday evening Mr. and Mrs. Julius F.

Majors It matters not what others think about it, dancing is some form of social degradation. That it has its extenuation and mitigating circumstances but while it is offered as a social exercise and a thriller for the blues it has opened the door to many marauding hell for the youth of all of the races. Dancing draws upon our finer human fabric like music in its soulful vibrations throughout our physical bodies. Alluring bribe, it promises and almost exhorts in its pleasant glorious deception. It attacks the frailest fabric of the moral structure in the human frame. Its seductive charm at one fell sweep knocks all of the better life force out of hearts and sets up, in the weakened human spirit a cheap imitation that is as dangerous as hell itself. Prancing to music invites the elasticity and activity of our muscles. This to all intents and purposes has only to do with our physical well-being but when its seductive charm would like a huge octopus wrap its hundreds of ugly legs around the innocent and pure it has snatched from our hands the glory of our human life. There is no right under heaven except the marriage certificate whereby one man may with his arms encircle the waist of any woman on a dance floor. We very well understand the trend of the present day, and we are careful not to mistake the social white wash brush that is so greatly needed ever and anon. We seem to be in the throes of some kind of social havoc, and its so strange that warnings of moral danger are not heard from every pulpit in the land. Dancing is the weakest excuse the young man can make to the girl he has designs upon. If he can take her to the dance hall, after a while he will ask her to the cabaret, the midnight supper, and directly ahead to the buffet flat. This is likely to happen in a great many cases, but not in all. We have studied people who dance and people who do not dance, and our observation assures us that the moral vitality of those who do not dance is considerably stronger than those who do dance. There is a beginning to every one's downfall. Thousands of people know that at first the thing seems harmless, feels joyful, and in many ways just fits the situation for the time until one day the girl's heart begins to sorrow over vain regrets, and then a sad and melancholy life. The most terrifying aspect is the ugly embrace, often the fearful embrace of some infernal scoundrel whose heart and mind is never set upon any righteous rule, and whose acts place him below the consideration of respectable women. Dancing is an invention of the devil. It gives the man or woman the freedom of insinuating what manner of deviltry they nurture in their hearts, and often they carry this hell bent ideal to its damnable conclusion by accepting the ugly saturnalia of the devil. If we are to have virtue enshrined around the heartstone then we are to resist with all our might the instrument that Satan has invented for the destruction of our youth. If we are to have noble young fellowship in the dignified bearings and leanings toward a forcible character structure we must begin to preach against this whirlpool of sin and iniquity that is about to engulf this race of ours. The mothers and Ireland HON. MILES J. DEVINE Ex-City Attorney of Chicago, Who Would Make an Ideal Candidate for Judge of the Superior Court of Cook County. fathers are not altoyether to blame for this outrage upon our social fabric. The upstart is often ignorant of the pitfalls that await in the paths of ugly folly, and it thinks less than it feels until the horrible awakening which comes, alas, too late. sober mind of the race. We are rapidly nearing some fixed notions and soon we will be doing the right things in the right way. Unfortunately we have been handicapped by terrible or deals of a color distinction, but we need not hold it up forever as some WONDERFUL MAGNANIMITY OF THE WHITE RACE By Dr. M. A. Majors Although we have often criticised the other races for some very bad examples, especially in the burning of gun powder, and lynching of fortunate half witted Negroes for whose provision there is no asylum, we may find lots of good examples they have set for us to follow if only we would do it. The recent great disaster to Japan has given the Negro the opportunity to determine the definition of the better civilization of the human race. Think of it, the hated and despised Mongolian, refused admission to our American citizenship, and hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent in legislation to rivet laws on the statute books to keep the Japanese out of America yet when a great calamity comes upon them their status is allowed to remain intact by the public sentiment that condemns them, by the colossal subscription of hundred million dollars saving them from bankruptcy. America has done its part; I wonder if the people of our complexion has arisen to the exigencies of this great appeal for help and subscribed religiously. This is religion. This is civilization. Meeting in a place of worship and shouting one's self hoarse and listening to a lot of onmouth speech is indeed very frail by the side of helping an unfortunate nation to stand upon its feet in the face of the greatest disaster that has ever befallen a nation. It all may not be religion. Education does such things and we are trustful of the civilization that results from the education the age endorses. What a great race the people are who for the time can lay aside the stress of circumstances to go in deep mourning for the helpless and though they hate them yet has the courage ad character to subscribe for the enemy a hundred million dollars! THE MATERIAL COMES BE FORE THE AESTHETIC By Dr. M. A. Majors A good and sufficient reason why some of the big things we undertake to do seem to meet a lot of resistance comes wholly from trying to do the impossible. Adjustment and the proper arrangement of things have not been reached by us in our march toward a prouder day. We frequently begin to do things at the wrong end. Of course our potentiality will be discredited and discredited as long as we lag in commercial activity. Before we had the musical college and the arts and sciences we might have projected a big department store, this would have given many of our ambitions youth clerkships from which they could realize comfortable support and avail themselves of opportunities to study the advanced art sect;. It is very strange that our ministers do not arouse us out of our lethargy and talk to us some on living a material existence. The aesthetic gravitates to the fit ones among us, and will never appeal to the great numbers of us. Yet if we have large operatives in big stores, banks, insurance companies, factories, there will come a time when drudgery will not suit the most inclined to pursue the higher avocations. The study of music, art and science is attractive and should appeal to the sober mind of the race. We are rapidly nearing some fixed notions and soon we will be doing the right things in the right way. Unfortunately we have been handicapped by terrible ordeals of a color distinction, but we need not hold it up forever as some kind of excuse. We are not helpless, and could if we only would, do many big things. DR. M. A.

WHITE MOTHER OF FIVE 'ELOPES' WITH CHAUFFEUR Authorities Tracing Fleeing Couple- Leave Baltimore, Go to York, Then to Harrisburg, Pa. Baltimore, Md.-The vicinity of Timonium was stirred the first of this week when it was reported that the wife of William Tracey, a hard-working white man, had eloped with Isaac Johnson, a colored chauffeur, leaving five children behind. The wife told the husband that she had to go to Cockeysville to exchange a pair of shoes. Tracey saw her to the train and when she did not return home at night, Tracey became frantic. Johnson, who was employed by a family at Cockeysville, had also disappeared, leaving no trace of his whereabouts. The railroad agent at Texas says he sold Johnson two tickets for York. A train conductor say the wife gave him a ticket for York, Pa., where she was met by a colored man with a suit case. The colored man, the conductor says, had two tickets, and the couple rode on to Harrisburg. Baltimore county authorities are now trying to have Johnson indicted on a white slave charge. Mrs. Tracey should also be indicted for running away from her five children and her home with a colored man—Editor. URBAN LEAGUE ANNUAL CON FERENCE TO DISCUSS HELP FOR THE MIGRANT League in Kansas City to Urge Industrial Efficiency The Annual Conference of the National Urban League which will be held in Kansas City, Missouri, October 16th-19th, according to the officials of this organization will be one of the most interesting and one of the best attended of the eight conferences thus far held. Among the speakers will be Miss Grace Abbott, President of the National Conference of Social Work and Director of the Children's Bureau at Washington, D. C., Dr. R. R. Moton, of Tuskegee Institute, C. C. Spaulding, President of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Co.; John Hope, President of Morehouse College and Owen Lovejoy, of the National Child Labor Committee. Representatives from national social work organizations, settlement houses, probation associations, recreation movements and other forms of social work will join with the League workers in the discussion of Minimum Social Standards and Methods of Introducing Negroes into Industry, reducing labor turnover and other personnel problems; Housing, including Building Loans and lower rental cost for the increasing city Negro population; Health, and Cooperation between the Churches and Social Agencies. The subject of Racial Cooperation will be discussed by leading white and colored students of the problem from both the North and the South. The League is desirous of having all agencies interested in furthering social service send delegates to this conference. Persons interested should communicate with Eugene Kinckle Jones, Executive Secretary of the National Urban League, 127 East 23rd Street, New York City or F. T. Lane, Secretary, Community Service Urban League, 1518% East 18th Street, Kansas City, Mo. URBAN LEAGUE NEWS Is your child in school? In the South, if you lived in the country, you did not have to send your child to school. In Chicago the law requires that every child of school age should be in the class room. Chicago does not require this because it wants a large attendance at school, merely, but because it wants every one of its citizens to be able to take care of himself and to live a normal life, to be prepared to take his share of this world's goods through enlightened as well as honest work. Ignorance is a handicap to any boy or girl or man or woman. It is too important to be put off. Send your child to school so that it can learn and be in a position of equality with other people ten, twenty and fifty years from now. NEGRO BANKS SHOW REMARK ABLE INCREASE Washington. ——One economic result of the migration of Negroes northward during the past year has been the impetus given to the establishment of Negro banks and the growth of race bank deposits.' Washington, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, and smaller cities are centers of increased activities in the growth of Negro banks. Messrs. Brown and Stevens, bank 'promoters of Philadelphia, are now observing their $133,000 building, erected a year ago, do a thriving business; and the Prudential bank people of Washington, after a month of business, report splendid growth.

These words, supplementing a lengthy brief, submitted to the Court by Attorney George Gordon Battle, were largely instrumental in bringing about the temporary release, under bail, of Marcus Garvey, now under a five-year sentence because of unlawful conduct, but whose appeal is pending. Garvey, who at one time acted as his own attorney, has employed a number of prominent lawyers during his trials and troubles in the courts, and his appeal proceedings will be watched with great interest, now that Mr. Battle has had him admitted to bail. So far Col. Garvey has been unable to furnish the twenty-five thousand dollar bonds—Editor. MAYOR STICKS BY HIS GUNS TO DEPORT NEGROES Johnstown, Pa — Mayor Joseph Cauffiel of Johnstown announced late Tuesday night that he had replied by telegraph and special delivery letter to Gov. Pinchot's telegraph requesting reasons for his order that Negroes who have resided here for less than seven years must leave. Mayor Cauffiel refused to say what he told the governor, but reiterated his order that the Negroes "must pack up and go." "I have nothing to apologize for," the mayor declared. "I will make no excuses to any one. I did what I saw was my duty and I will continue to order every Negro who has not lived here seven years to get out and stay out." The mayor's original order was issued after three city policemen were killed in a fight with a drunken Negro. ATTENDS FUNERAL OF MRS TAYLOR J.

Peters, of Manchester, Ga., President of the Georgia Bankers' Association, the loss this year to Georgia alone, through the migration of Negroes, will approximate the huge sum of $27,000,000, or an amount that would have permitted the expenditure by the State of nearly $175,000 for colored schools in each of the 155 counties. Mr. Peters claims that in the wake of the departing Negroes 46,674 vacant farmhouses and 55,524 idle plows are left. ```markdown ``` Cook County, Who Has Thou- wo Would Be Greatly Delighted of the New Republican Judgesook County. TAKE NEGRO FROM OFFICERS AND SHOOT HIM TO DEATH Hattiesburg, Miss., Sept. 18.—John Gray, 20. a Negro, was shot to death last night by a band of citizenns who forced officers to turn their prisoner over to them after Gray had shot a white man. The old Chicago Tribune failed to state the reason why the colored man the white man, it may be that the white man was forcing his attentions upon the colored man's wife or beautiful looking daughter.—Editor. OUR ECONOMIC PROGRESS Washington, _____ That the Negro is making good in industry is attested by the increases as indicated by the last U. S. Census report covering the years 1910 and 1920 as follows: Number Increase 1920 since 1910 Manufacturing industries ... 886,810 255,433 Transportation ... 312,421 56,452 Trade ... 140,467 20,976 Mining ... 73,229 12,100 Professional Service. 80,183 12,938 Total.....1,493,110 357,899 Assuming a conservative general average wage of but $15 per week this increase would mean an added income of nearly Three Hundred Million Dollars per year to be largely distributed among our business and professional men, our churches, in the buying and building of homes, and in other activities that bespeak material advancement. BANK MERGER New York. ——There is talk of consolidating colored banking houses of several northern cities, with banks in Jacksonville, Savannah, and Norfolk. It is thought that in the event of such a merger, a financial unit would doubtless arise which would command Wall Street respect. DEVELOPMENT OF ABYSSINIA As the result of negotiations with the Abyssinian Government, the Anglo-American Oil Company has obtained exclusive oil rights for fifty years in the northern half of the Province of Harrar. The area controlled by the company is some sixty thousand square miles, traversed on its northern edge by the Franco-Ethiopian Railway, and said to have been prospected with encouraging results.—"Current History," September, 1923. The A. M. E. Conference held forth in this city the latter part of last week and the first part of this week, and the most important changes it made among the preachers in this city was to transfer Rev. H. E. Stewart from Quinn Chapel to Wayman Chapel on the North Side, and to transfer Rev. B. U. Taylor from Wayman Chapel to Quinn Chapel. Both of these able preachers have in the past worked very hard for the success of their church and for their Lord and Master. Rev. Baltimore Johnson, who had been holding forth at Institutional Church, and his auto which was presented to him by its members, were sent to Indianapolis, Ind, where he will continue to expound the Gospel, and Rev. Lucas will be the new pastor at the Institutional Church. ```markdown ``` oe a se Be -.

Taylor. San Francisco, Calif—Dr. L. K. Williams of Chicago covered himself with glory at the National Baptist vonvention and went right into the searts of the people, and I am sure snat his friends and others. will be delighted to know that he was re- elected without one vote against him, and this was done immediately follow- ing the delivery of his annual address which was within itself a literary gem, antl one of the finest addresses ever delivered before the convention, Dr. Williams did not forget to pay a high tribute to that leader of men, the man who pt the National Baptist convention on the map, Dr. E. C. Morris, and it was a source of regret that some of the boys were not pres- ent. The convention took an offering of one hundred dollars for the widow, and let us all join in singing “Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow.” It is nice to be remembered after you have left this world. One by one we are passing out. Two of the soldiers of the cross followed in the wake of President Warren G. Harding by leaving this world via California route, whether this is a short way to heaven I do not know. But early one morning the news was flashed over the city, and among the delegates, “Dr. J. H. Van Lue, of Kansas, superintendent of mis- sions for that state, had died,” and this cast a gloom over the convention. Just the night before he was circulat- ing among his friends, and went in sick that night and the next morning he appeared before his God. The friends and family were notified, and that ended it. His body was prepare¢ and returned to”Wichita, Kansas, for burial. Monday the convention had funeral or memorial services, and just as the cortege arrived at the conven- tion, another soldier crossed over, an¢ this time it was the Rev. Dr. J. M. Harris, of Texarkana, Arkansas. Dr. Harris was for a number o} years treasurer of the Arkansas state convention, and was a staunch frien¢ to the late Elias Camp Morris, “He has joined him now on the other side God bless his widow and the childrer he left behind. He was a great man, and Tike Dr. Van. Lue, he served his race and generation. Dr. Van Lue hele the position of superintendent of mis. sions for over a quarter of a century os men had many friends, California must be a good place to dic, and who will be the next to follow in his wake? I am not prepared te say, nor would I attempt to say, bu fone by one we are passing out. I now becomes my duty to inform your readers that Charles Stewart, of Chi: cago, is sick in San Francisco, ‘Calif He is at 2462 Clay street, and is unde treatment at Leland Stanford hos: pital, one of the best institutions ir the world, He reports that he is get ting the best of treatment and when 1 saw him today he told me that they were not through examining him yet ‘and will not be until later in the next week.

Eyery Baptist’ must put his shoulder to ther wheel for this is to ‘show the ability of the Baptists of America to do big things, and this will be the biggest thing ever accomplished by the National Baptist convention, and honey I'am hete to tell you that it will be the property of the Baptists and not of a Board that elects itself. ‘Some fellow up in Fort Worth tele- graphed that he heard that the Nation- al Baptist convention had split and wanted the reporter to send him fifty words telling how it happened. ‘They did not split nor are they going to| split. Company loves misery, and I am told by wire that when that con- vention which met in Fort Worth, ‘Texas, elected the Rev. Dr. J. E. Woods, of Danville, Kentucky, presi- ‘dent Dr. E. P, Jones, objected to the change, and called out his friends and organized another convention in the: A.M. EB. Church. Whether this is true or not I am not prepared to say, but as soon as I get back in the United States I am going to find out and let you know. You should know and you must know. I do know that the greatest of all tricksters is Dr. E. P. Jones, and he is ahead of the man\who invented tricks, He went in to take from tl Baptists of America the National Babe tist convention and when he failed then he comes forward with a side show called the National Baptist Con- vention unincorporated. But I am not going to say mean things about these brethren, for they had a right to go out and put mp a house and go to housekeeping for they had the pub- lishing house and that was something. I never want to be guilty of taking a man to task for exercising his rights, and I want to see men use their heads for more than a mere hat rack. God bless them. They will be back home soon. i I was glad to see Dr. T. J. King, president of the Virginia Baptist state convention back in line with his breth- rem, and he says that he is to join in helping to make the National Baptist convention all that it should be, and this service can be rendered in line and not out of line. Thank God for him, T had the pleasure of being with Dr. J. H. Branham, who is one of my pastors, and he shook my lily black hand and assured me that he stood ready to do anything in his power to help me in my efforts to be something in life. He is a great man and a man with wonderful influence. He walks side by side with Dr. L. K. Williams. I wish that I had time to tell you more about them five special trains with delegates, the attention they at- tracted and the influence they exerted for the whole race. We are indebted to the Rock Island and the Southern Pacific for the kind treatment as well as the Missouri Pacific and other roads. I shall have much to tell you about them from time to time. It was decided to hold the next ses- sion of the National Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. congress in Cleveland, Ohio. This is a place I have never been and hope to live to get there.

It's just as natural, observes a fashion writer, for women to like the cut-out slipper of colored leather as it Is for boys to hanker for red-topped boots. Now a very conservative person would tell us that colored shoes are decidedly not in good taste. ‘They might even go so far as to call”them “vulgar.” But—thank your stars, tt isn't the conservative persons who make or set the styles, Colored shoes are undoubtedly pretty on the average foot. And this is a peculiar fact—they tend to make the foot appear smaller than @ark shoes. But one can't wear them indie criminately. That is where the dan- ger of the colored shoe lies. ‘A woman who can't afford the col- ‘red shoe as a luxury to be worn only at appropriate times, should beware of them. With certain afternoon eostumes they are not only permissible, but love- ly. The costume, however, must be one whose beauty is augmented by the touch of color in the shoe, It must also be a dressy costume, as the colored shoe is not for the severely- cut gown, At ball games, the race track and for all open alr sport events, the col ored shoe of the sport variety is worn with sports clothes. ‘Novel Crepe de Chine Capes. | Long capes of plaited crepe de | chine are trimmed with narrow bands | of fur extending perpendicularly from (the neck to hem.

There is no dissension about this, all the courtiers being agreed, even Paul Polret, whose creations differ so strikingly from all others. The light Havana brown claims a certain popularity. Gray and beige are very good for the tailleurs and dresses designed to be worn in the summer. These are the leading colors, black having very little place in this class of garment. We find dark blue in combination with widely varying detail, differing according to the house which shows it. Jenny uses Roman stripe braid, ribbon or silk to trim her street costumes, which are always straight of line, usually with very short unbelted jackets. She secures the Roman stripe effect on some of her morning dresses and tailleurs by many rows of narrow ribbon overlaying each other. She also shows the dainty lingerie blouse to accompany her tailleurs. Jenny still adheres to her beloved braid trimming for simple frocks and suits. Douzet's tailored costumes have sober and youthful lines, now narrow and straight cut, now fanciful, with the circular tunic jacket. Martial et Armand incline to threeple suitets. Printed fabrics of brilliant color form the contrasting notes to sober fabrics in these creations. Jackets of such suits are insignificant affairs as to size, but very distinctive in cut. They favor the cape or cape jacket. Their simple dresses have as their base dark blue, beige or gray wool, and display some charming fancies in the way of collars, cuffs and trimming. One interesting chemise dress has a collar and mousquetaire cuffs of green, yellow and brique bands of organdie alternating. Another has a single triangular breast pocket of brilliant embroidery. Ways to Make Over Almost every woman has in her closet a last year's silk dress of plain standard lines that is perfectly good excepting for the one fact that it is last year's and shows that it is. The great variety of ribbons furnishes many ways of altering such a dress, depending upon the material and the color. If it is a dark heavy silk crepe it may be brought up to date by the application of narrow Roman striped ribbon, or any narrow ribbon in vivid colors. The ribbon should be applied in large designs on the dress so that the effect is that of the new fashionable blocked material. Likewise neck and sleeves should be outlined with ribbon. If the dress is of a lightweight silk of any pastel shade it may be treated in the same way, employing, however, a more delicately toned ribbon; for instance, a narrow ribbon of ceramic blue displaying a Dolly Varden design and edged with gold would be charming on a frock of fallow tan.

One stove, two rooms. In Serbia it is the cust - to build the partition walls of houses quite thick, and set stoves in the walls halfway through, so that they do duty in warming two rooms. Cheerfulness an Obligation. Cheerfulness should not be a matter of mood. It is an obligation which we owe to those about us. And gloom, being an infectious disease, cannot be guaranteed too strictly. Colorado's First Log House Colorado First Log House. The first known log house built by white men within Colorado's bounds was erected in 1816 for a troop of Spanish cavalry patrolling the Arkansas near the site of Pueblo. "I know the diamond he gave me is paste," confessed the dear girl, "but I am satisfied, for I know he loves me just as much as if it was real and had cost a hundred times as much." Eggs Very Small. Eggs of the blue crab are so small, says Nature Magazine, that one hundred of them placed side by side would make a line barely an inch in length. Parsnips Nourishing. Parsnips are wholesome and nourishing and, containing as they do both starch and sugar, have a heat-giving property in cold weather. Summing It'. Up. After the average man has reached the three score and ten mark he can sum up his life in these few words, "What a fool I've been!" Newspaper Man's Life Mission.
