Such is the gist of this week's bulletin, issued by Chief of Police Morgan A. Collins, pointing out the dangers that exist for little ones in crowded thoroughfares. From September 12 to 18 one child was killed, and 99 children injured. In the same period last year 3 were killed, and 83 injured. Warn your children against hitching on vehicles. Impress upon them that automobiles come around corners and tell them to wait on the curb, not in the street for passing traffic. Playing marbles in the street is extremely dangerous. Warn them against climbing telegraph poles. Death lurks in live wires. Children are thoughtless and carefree. They must have constant protection. Everybody must do their share.

SUCCESSFUL CONFERENCE YEAR ENDS AT ST. JOHN'S A. M. E. CHURCH, 62ND AND THROOP STS., CHICAGO, ILL. REV. DAVID JOHNSON, PASTOR By Mrs. Birdie Powell The most prosperous conference year in the history of St. John's A. M. E. Church closed last Sunday night, Sept. 19, in a blaze of glory and honor to the pastor, Rev. David Johnson. A large congregation was present to witness the farewell sermon by the pastor and to hear the reports for the year. Nearly nine thousand dollars have been raised and many debts paid, and the membership and congregation have been greatly increased. When Dr. Johnson came to us two years ago, our church was in a very serious complication of debts, that it was thought we would lose the property. But this man of God came to us with great faith and optimism and soon inspired the people with his wonderful sermons, and executive ability. He founded the Gideon Band of workers, and under his inspiring leadership a brighter day has dawned in St. John. --- County Commissioners who will be November 2. In the past he has held the courage to display his uncolored people by appointing the positions at the Cook County and it is safe to say that hunchavor of his re-election on elec- tured in billowy costumes who presented them with carnations. In charge of Mr. Carr's campaign for sheriff are Capt. Edward J. McCabe, Congressman Thomas A. Doyle and Alderman Joseph B. McDonough. The management of Mr. Cermak's activities is in the hands of Mr. Henry As an evidence of the members' appreciation of his services, the church presented him with a beautifully engraved gold watch on Sunday morning. It was a most beautiful scene to witness in the closing of his year's work. The pastors and members of the following churches, namely, Rev. E. W. Williams, of Hope Presbyterian Church; Rev. D. H. Harris, pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church, and Rev. Pendleton, pastor of Mt. Carmel, C.M.E. Church, on Sunday evening honored the occasion with their presence and lifted donations from members of their congregations as a token to Rev. David Johnson. The members of Mt. Carmel contributed the largest sum of money, namely, $10. Other friends of Rev. Johnson were present and made donations of dollar money. Mr. and Mrs. Julius F. Taylor were present at the enjoyable occasion and Rev. Johnson called upon Editor Taylor to deliver a short talk which was well received. On Monday night a grand farewell reception was held and a beautiful program was rendered. Mrs. Birdie Powell presiding. Miss Josephine Payne read a paper, subject, Rev. ```markdown ``` Sonnenschein. All are high powered executives and they may be counted upon to conduct a dynamic campaign for their chiefs.

Carr while County Treasurer Totalled $6,500,000.00!!! More than the sum yielded by all his predecessors Zealous and efficient as Alderman. Able and aggressive as Sanitary Trustee, he helped to make Chicago the most healthful and best lighted city in the world. Mr. Cermak has also made a splendid record in the past which entitles him to re-election as President of the Board of County Commissioners, as a member of the Legislature of Illinois, as Alderman of the old 12th ward, as Chief Bailiff of the Municipal Court of Chicago, as secretary of the United Societies of Chicago and as president of the Board of County Commissioners he has displayed rare executive ability and reflected great credit upon all the citizens of Chicago. Johnson as a Preacher. Mr. Alex Motley read a paper, Rev. Johnson's influence in the community. Mrs. Irene Gray read a paper, subject, Rev. Johnson as a pastor. Mr. Julius F. Taylor, editor of this newspaper, was present and delivered an inspiring address upon Rev. Johnson as he knew him. Mrs. Lillian Perry presented the reading of a poem composed by herself upon the sterling worth of Rev. Johnson to St. John. It was quite unique and interesting. Miss Thelma Payne also presented a reading. Mr. S. T. Eskridge rendered a violin solo, Miss Dorothy Minor a piano solo. The choir sang "The End of a Perfect Day." Rev. Johnson responded in fitting words. Mrs. Johnson also spoke and expressed her appreciation of the kindness of the good people of St. John. He left for conference with a grand report Wednesday morning. The conference is being held at Milwaukee. Mr. and Mrs. Sandy W. Trice, 4536 Calumet Ave., are spending the last lap of their summer vacation at their lovely summer home, Idlewild, Mich. They expect to return home to the city on or near October I.

For 43 years he was connected with Wilberforce University, 1877 to 1920, and was its president for 12 years (1908-1920), giving it a lifetime of faithful, self-sacrificing service. He was born in Macon, Ga., February 16, 1852, and was the only surviving child of Jeremiah and Frances Scarborough. He received his early education in Lewis High School of Macon and spent two years at Atlanta University, preparing for Yale, but entered Oberlin College, Oberlin, Ohio, instead, graduating with the degree of A.B. in 1875.

THIS WEEK By Ernest Rice McKinney For Preston News Service nothing about and the knew less, applauded South is the same yester forevermore. It is a ground for blatherskiit women chasing, anti-eve The best and by far the most popular Clerk of Cook County, who is bound to be re-elected to his time honored position on Tuesday, November 2. The majority of us mere males have claimed for some time that women are "slaves to fashion." We say that women follow the styles blindly and without due regard to any peculiarities of anatomy, facial ugliness or near beauty, or economic status. But this may be true. However, if one observes the herd of men around September 15 the conclusion cannot be escaped that the male animal is as blind, slavish and kneebending as any of Armour's sheep or the least intelligent beetle. For at about this time the male begins to discard his summer straw en masse. No matter how hot the weather nor how bright the sun shines, Mr. Man bows to the whims of a felt god and encases the peak of his frame in last year's headgear. This keeps him a safe and safe 100 per cent American fit to associate with fellow Rotarians, Elks, pool hustlers, Baptists, Brothers of Friendship, college professors, congressmen and bootleggers. Things are still normal down in the dum-dum belt. The main issues in the recent primaries in Texas, Georgia and South Carolina were no different, in the main, from the issues of 1875. That is the campaigns were based on ignorance, hate, and demagoguery. Candidates discussed issues that they know 1930 Mortison Photo HON. EDWARD J.

It is a happy hunting ground for blatherskite, liquor-head, women chasing, anti-evolution and proBryan tram evangelists. These dancing dervishes filled with stupidity and religious assininity, pass through the cities and backwoods hamlets emptying the pockets of the credulous and starting each community on church building programs that would tax the resources of wealthier communities. Of course the North is not free from this sort of thing. But the South is the real Genesis Belt. In the North, particularly in the East, the evangelist is looked upon merely as an asset to the business man. He is not taken seriously except insofar as he can be depended on to keep the minds of the plebeians off of low pay and hard work to keep the average man thinking of the grand feast in the sweet beyond. The "Call of the Wild" has returned to Washington. He has put in the summer catching fish (so the reporters say) and new ideas of how to run the country from a horde of pilgrims who knew just how it ought to be done. The "White House Spokesman" will now get down to business in Washington without worry over the winter's coal or overcoat.

Of course President Garvey continues to issue government decrees and proclamations from the presidential palace in Atlanta. But these apply only to the citizens of the black invisible republic. These bulls and executive orders do not concern us who are too backward and sinful to distinguish between the road to freedom in Africa, and the road to slavery in America. I do feel that, although Mr. Garvey is somewhat hors de combat, some Negro should come forth out of hiding and place our feet in the path to glory. To be sure it would cost us something, but what is the difference? Think of the fun we would have "cussin" out the brother after both he and our money had departed for new fields of endeavor.

CONVALESCING AT HOSPITAL Bulletin No. 6 of the Industrial Relations Department of the National Urban League summarizes employment conditions throughout the country as follows: August did not vary from its usual reputation of inactivity. Industry showed little or no fluctuation. Where it had been good it remained so, and where poor there was only an occasional sign of improvement. It was in August that published accounts of the nation's business prosperity were circulated far and wide, but business continued steady, showing no departure from the conservatively progressive tenor that has characterized it in recent months. In various parts of the country we note the return to full working forces and in other a temporary curtailment in number of employees. For instance, the stock yards are on the upward trend and in certain sections the iron and steel mills exhibit definite signs of increased prosperity. In Milwaukee, Kansas City and Fort Wayne, this latter condition obtains. The change most readily seen in the status of the Negro worker is in the South where throughout Texas, Oklahoma, parts of Tennessee and Missouri farm hands are moving into cotton areas to harvest crops. Robert S. Cobb, Executive Secretary of the Missouri Negro Industrial Commission, writes: "The state department of Labor and the Negro Industrial Commission are now making a special effort to secure migrants to harvest the cotton crop in southeastern Missouri. Offices are established in St. Louis and points in the extreme southeastern section of the state. The cotton crop is one of the best in the history of the state. Many Negroes are buying land and are planning to become permanent citizens." In Kansas City, Missouri, we note a loss to Negroes in unskilled jobs on street improvements, while St. Louis shows an increase. Charlotte, N. C., witnessed a considerable decrease in the number of truck drivers for road building and street improvements. In Brooklyn a dress factory that has used colored girls only as pressers agreed to use them as floor girls and to teach them draping. The Better Business Bureau of Cleveland gave employment to colored girls as shoppers. Carpenters are leaving Pine Bluff, Arkansas, because the attitude of union labor interferes with their work. The Atlanta labor union officials have expressed themselves as follows in reference to Negro workers: (1) The Atlanta Trades Federation is willing to organize and to admit Negroes into certain trades. (2) In new organizations formed these locals will be auxiliary locals. (3) The labor leaders feel that the burden of preparation of Negroes for unions must fall on Negro leadership. (4) The labor movement in Atlanta does not feel safe with Negroes out of the union. DEMPSEY'S CONTRACT TO BATTLE WILLS UPHELD IN INDIANA (Preston News Service) Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 20.—The famous $10 contract, calling for a bout between Jack Dempsey and Harry Wills, has bobbed up again, this time as the basis of a Superior Court injunction to prevent the champion's match with Gene Tunney at Philadelphia September 23. Judge Clinton H. Civan, holding that ownership of the much-disputed contract represented a property right, granted the petition of the Chicago Coliseum Club for an injunction last Friday night, although the prize fighting is not permitted by Indiana laws. The orphan contract which has passed through several hands, was signed by Dempsey in Los Angeles last winter and bound by the payment to the champion of a $10 bill, according to B. C. Clements, president of the club. It called for a first payment of $400,000 to the champion early in August and the Coliseum Club exhibited at the hearing a protostatic copy of a check for this amount which it said it was trying to induce the champion to accept. The original contract for a Wills-Dempsey fight was negotiated at Niles, Mich., by Floyd Fitzsimmons, who later sold his rights to the Coliseum Club the alleged Los Angeles agreement taking its place. Fitzsimmons testifying here for the defense, maintained that both the agreements were invalidated by the club's defaulting payment. The view that Pennsylvania courts would have to take cognizance of the Indiana injunction was expressed by Judge Givan. HON. HARRY S.

New passed through the city en route to the Postmasters' National Convention in session in Kansas City, Mo., this week. He shoved back his slouch hat in the rotunda of the La Salle Hotel, long enough to tell Chicagoans that he was prepared to lend every possible assistance to give to them that character of a new structure that will be adequate to take care of the growing city's business for the next fifty years. He further notified the world at large that the prosperous condition of the country made the election of a Democratic Congress impossible and that shortly he would take the stump to acquaint the people of the economic condition of the administration and the indescribable improvements in the new air mail service under Second Assistant Postmaster General W. Irving Glover, which when completed will be the postal marvel of the world. ARKANSAS SHERIFF SAYS THERE IS DANGER OF EF- FORT TO LYNCH COLEMAN Goes to Face Trial for Slaying Wife Greensboro, N. C., Sept. 23.—Sheriff Belser of Arkansas City, Ark., who Thursday night took Will Worthy, alias Charles Coleman, from the city jail here and started to Arkansas with him said that there was danger that the colored people in Arkansas City would try to lynch Coleman. Coleman or Worthy, was arrested here on August 30, charged with the murder of his wife five years ago in Arkansas. It is charged that he shot her five times and then tried to cut her head off with an axe and burn the body. The prisoner refused to go without requisition papers, so the Sheriff was provided with them. "Pray for me, Cap," Coleman asked Jailer Sample Huffins as he was led by a chain, handcuffed to the train. He was shaking in a panic of fear.

(Preston News Service) New York City, Sept. 24.—Harlem's "praying sheik" was sentenced by Judge McIntyre in General Sessions to prison terms aggregating between sixty and seventy years, Friday. The "praying sheik" described himself in court as John Smith, twenty-seven, a seller of lingerie. At his trial, concluded Friday morning, it was testified the "sheik" made a practice of gaining admittance to flats on the pretense he desired to sell stolen lingerie at bargain prices. Once in the flat he would try to strike up a flirtation with the woman to whom he was showing the goods. If the woman resisted his advances, he threatened to kill her. He would finish by robbing her of every article of value he could carry away. Other Crimes Recited He was tried specifically for robbing Mrs. Rose Davis of No. 134 West 112th Street; and he passed most of his time in the courtroom reading from a pocket testament. He also clasped this book when he stood up for sentence. After Smith's conviction, Judge McIntyre was told there were eleven other indictments against the prisoner, all for crimes of substantially the same character. One indictment contained M. 1937 12 HON. GENE G.

Really Life Sentence Judge McIntyre imposed a sentence of from ten to twenty years imprisonment for the crime of which Smith was convicted. He remarked this crime was committed June 29, before the Baumes Act went into effect. He added, however, that the offense to which Smith had pleaded guilty was committed since the act became law. For this crime he sentenced Smith to fifty years. It was remarked the sentence virtually is for the balance of Smith's life.

Are old folks' and orphans' homes planned, by which the fleeting graces of Need may be succored? Is some great corporation formed which, besides producing something which America needs, will give employment to anxious Negro youths who are crying for a chance to be up and doing? Or, are the sick and afflicted aided and comforted, that their ills may be assuaged and their passing days made more consoling? We think not. Economically speaking, the dimes and dollars paid for steam engine coal and automobile gasoline, going chiefly into the coffers of the "boss man" of America, from whom it came, make him even more secure in the close check he constantly keeps upon the aspiring blacks of 240F2029 improvements, who can successuccessful business men of Chilidate for Clerk of the Probate se legions of friends look upon November 2.

CERVENKA City Treasurer of Chicago who would make a day for Mayor of Chicago in 1927, returned hon this week from an enjoyable trip abroad.

A few useful lives are "snuffed" out from the fearful strain of convention life; nightlife reaches asbestos heat, and the Negro again faces America, with winter waiting to give him the chilly "How de do?" says that "The South, on account of conditions following the Civil War, has lagged behind some other sections of the country in economic progress, and has neglected the education not only of the whites but also of the Ne- This is the result of conclave playtime. Even the Klan has a definite anti-Catholic, anti-Jew, anti-Negro program—but the brother, he is there because he is there, and he burns up enough potential force to move the State of Georgia up above the Mason and Dixon Line. And while he is performing the burning process, the "big bosses" are figuring out how to make the world safer for themselves, and "safeless" for the beaded and badged ex-delegates of the fraternal year ending in September, 1926. * * * More Education Dr. John J.

Clarity would have been better preserved, we think, if the Commissioner had said that the South has neglected the education of all the Negroes, and, also some of the whites. Be that as it may, however, it is a fact that semifantric efforts are now being made in the South to speed up education for the Negro—along agricultural lines, of course. It has just been "discovered" that the Negro can raise cotton, sweet potatoes, tobacco, rice, corn, and spuds; that he has been the victim of a poor credit system; that he needs managerial training, higher standards of living, better school facilities, etc. In feverish haste, the South is co-operating to --- bring about a vocational system in agriculture, to teach the Negro to raise wheat, oats, and swine, lest he raise railway fares again and begin another exodus northward, where is not so well understood as he is in Dixieland, and, hence, is given increased advantages, just because "up North they don't know enough to keep the Negro in his place." Meanwhile, even in Georgia, they are adimting that it is not right to practice open peonage. They admit, too, that long since the South has developed habits of indolence and dependence, retrogressing economically—all because the poor uneducated Negro was soil fodder for their avarice. This educational reformation is all right, and Negroes the country over are glad because of its advent; yet, it must be twofold, so that the looking glass can be turned upon the whites to the end that they will not only bestir themselves as to the Negro's agricultural future, but, also, as to his hopes, ambitions, and rights in the country which claims to be the freest country in the whole world. Semi-mysterious in everything but publicity, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters is said to have announced that very soon it will present a claim to the Federal Railway Mediation Board for higher wages, thus testing the economic power of the porters and the force of organization. Diligent inquiry among the personnel of various Pullman equipments East and West fails to reveal the strength or weakness of the organization, as built up by the competent A. Philip Randolph and his assistants. Its goal, as described by the Brotherhood, is: "More wages, better hours, better working conditions, pay for overtime, pay for preparation time, abolition of doubling out, and conductor's pay for conductor's work, when running 'in charge.'" Bravol And it is a grand and glorious aim to seek such worthy emoluments from such worthy toil. Yet, is the organization work far enough advanced to insure success in such a stern undertaking? Has the ground-work been well laid out so as to offstand the attack which the Pullman capitalists will wage against this program? Will internal bickering and selfish propaganda, both within and without the Brotherhood, be laid aside long enough to permit concentration upon the job of promoting and safe-guarding the interest of the faithful porters?

COLORED BARBER RETIRES RICH AT THE AGE OF 80 Jackson, Tenn.—R. Flippin, colored barber, who has been operating a shop here for 47 years, is quitting business at 80 years of age, partly because of advance in years and also because he has accumulated enough to spend the remainder of his days in ease.

HESTER SMITH DIES ON 107TH BIRTHDAY (Preston News Service) New York City, Sept. 24.—Mrs. Hester Smith, said to be 107 and the oldest patient at the Neurological Hospital, Welfare Island, died on her birthday Thursday. Mrs. Smith entered the institution on April 12, 1923. Among the parishioners of the Corpus Christi Church she was a familiar figure at the service about 15 years ago. She was said to be the daughter of a couple who were freed from slavery by a family of Quakers and placed on a farm in New Hampshire, shortly after the war of 1812. She came to New York about 60 years ago. Mrs. Smith was able to read without glasses and assisted the other patients in her ward in their daily chores, according to Dr. Thomas I. Price, in charge of the institution. She was a devout Catholic and was accorded a mass funeral at the Corpus Christi Church, conducted by Father John H. Dooley, pastor. NEW YORK DEMOCRATS SPLIT Negro Democrats of New York City are rapidly splitting into "Hylan" and "Smith" factions, the former of which is uiring the ex-Mayor to run for Governor of the Empire State on an independent ticket. Last week, while Hylan was publicly berating Governor Smith, a Negro delegation called to his attention the Governor's failure to appoint any member of their Race to an office of distinction. They also noted the Governor's indifference to the Jack Dempsey-Harry Wills negotiations. Ex-Mayor Hylan ran true to form, however, by saying that he had not made up his mind what to do.
