A very pretty wedding indeed was that of Miss Roberta B. James and Mr. Winston Leggon, last Saturday afternoon, at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert James of E. 101st St. Rev. H. M. Kingsley of Mt. Zion Cong, church performing the ceremony. The bride was beautifully attired. Mrs. Dazalia Wade sang very impressively DeKoven's "O. Promise Me"; Phillip Jackson played Mendelssohn's wedding march. Mrs. Jas. Hanson was matron of honor, while little Miss June Hanson carried the wedding ring. The house was filled with intimate friends of the principals who left that evening on a honeymoon trip which included Detroit, Windsor, Cain, and other points. A delicious light lunch was served at 6:30 p. m. There were flowers and presents galore, beautiful, some of the latter being very valuable. Among them was a set of silver knives and forks, teaspoons

Warned of the Black Traitors to the Race—Kluxers To Appear In Their Pulpits—Trouble Feared Today—The Fulton School Case Again!
SPRINGFIELD, O.—Rev. C. S. Williams, of Indianapolis, Ind., was the orator of the day at a labor day outing given by the uniform rank of our local K. P. Taking as his subject, "The Impending Crisis." Dr. Williams reviewed the history of the Afro-American. Much of his address, however, was devoted to a denunciation of the principles of the ku klux klan. His hearers were warned against being deceived by the klan's professions that it was not "after the colored people" but was after the Catholics and Jews. Particular stress was laid upon the importance of organization among our people to fight any attempt to segregate or deprive them of any of their rights as American citizens. Dr. Williams fully sustained the reputation he made here; last fall, in an address at the high school auditorium in support of the C. R. P. League's fight against the "jim-crow" Fulton school.
be getting stronger. After a visit to the Governor by Dr. J. E. Furry, president of the City Commission, and Commissioner John Frock, a proclamation was issued by Press. Furry, Sunday morning, in which it was stated that owing to the strained relations which might easily result in racial and religious strife, all good citizens are urged to avoid anything that might cause trouble. There is no doubt of the intensity of the feeling against the klan among the Catholics and our people and it will not take much to precipitate a riot such as has occurred in other places.
As was previously stated the Fulton school was opened, last Friday morning, for registration of pupils with principal and teachers, all white. A number of our children reported at the school but only two white pupils appeared and it is reported that they were sent away. The majority of our children applied at other buildings, as
Incidents and rumors tend to support the charges that have been made that some of our preachers are working with the klan in its efforts to get control in this city. In addition to new reports of klan donations to "different preachers, and coming from klan sources, there appeared in the "Fiery Cross" (klan organ) the statement that the "intelligent colored people were not against the klan," and that in their campaign of education "members of the klan would appear in the pulpits of colored churches." As the time nears for the klan distict meeting, which is to be held at the fair grounds with a parade on the evening of Sept. 8th, the apprehension of trouble seems to
ATTENTION VETERANS!
If you served ninety days or more in the Spanish-American War, the Chinese Relief Expedition, or in the Philippines prior to July 4, 1902, you will be interested to know Congress has passed a Pension Law of vital interest to you.
This law contains two provisions: 1st, it allows pensions, to all ex-soldiers, sailors and marines with the above service record who were honorably discharged and who are now over sixty-two years of age; 2nd, it allows pension to those who are at present materially disabled from earning their living by manual labor from disease, if the disability be not the result of their own misconduct. Such disability must be permanent but need not be total. It need not be the result of military service. THE SOLDIER DOES NOT HAVE TO BE SIXTY-TWO YEARS OLD TO CLAIM ON DISABILITY. The amount of pension depends upon the degree of disability and ranges from $12 to $30 per month. Widows of veterans are also allowed pensions. If you wish advice about this law write M. E. Buchanan, Route 1, Trevillians, Virginia. Prompt action is desirable, as a pension if allowed begins from the filing of the claim. The Act of September 1st, 1922, enlarges the provisions of the Act of June 5th, 1920. This affects many soldiers who have been rejected, increases the pension of widows and children under 16 years of age and other important matters effecting veterans and widows. Soldiers rejected on medical grounds should write to me.

A number of our children reported at the school but only two white pupils appeared and it is reported that they were sent away. The majority of our children applied at other buildings, as they were advised by the attorneys of the League who are prepared to renew the fight in case any attempt is made by Supt. McCord to ignore the order of the court that all children in that district must attend that school. It is expected that his intentions will be disclosed when school opens; Tuesday, and adjustments will then be made.
The McCord-klan candidates were revised. last. week, when L. R. Lambert, who it is said is not a kluxer, resigned because of bad health and was replaced by the Rev. D. G. Bacon a ku klux preacher who was among those arrested while returning from a ku klux funeral, recently. The McCord candidates are now all ku kluxers.

ARTHUR T. ABBOTT RESIGNS.

2127 E. 961st St.
Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—This is to advise my friends throughout the state of Ohio of my withdrawal from the vice-presidency of the Anchor Life Insurance Company. At the same time assuring them that, notwithstanding my withdrawal from active participation in the conduct of the business of the company, I consider their investment in the capital stock of the Company as perfectly sound, as all funds of the Company, are handled under the strict supervision of the Superintendent of Insurance for the State of Ohio, and are fully safeguarded by that department. My withdrawal is purely for the best interest of the Company and in no way reflects any doubt of its future success as an Insurance Company of the first grade if properly conducted by its officers. My resignation was effective, Sept. 1st, 1923.
Revs. J. R. Yewell. C. C. Ailer and J. W. Ribbons motored to Los Angeles to attend a National Baptist convention in session there, this week.

ARTHUR T. ABBOTT.
We greatly regret to announce
the resignation of Arthur T. Abbott
as vice-president of the Anchor Life
Insurance Company of this city.
Mr. Abbott is one of our oldest and
‘Dest citizens, a man whose know!-
edge of the insurance business was
gained as a result of nearly if not
quite forty years’ practical exper'-
ence im all branches of the same
with one of the largest insurance
companies (white) in this part of
the country. Even more do we re-
gret his severance of business con-
nection with that young and very
promising race enterprise / be-
cause there are very few men of
our group that are as well equip-
per in the insurance business and
stand as high in their communities
as Arthur T. Abbott does in this.
‘We sincerely trust, 2s also does Mr.
Apbott, that the Anchor Life Insur-
ence Gompany will continue to eo
forward and experience no ill ef-
fects as a result of his severing his
business connection with it.

THE N, A. A. ©. P, AND LYNCH-
MURDER.
In its recent report, on the Iynch-
ing of this country, for the first six
months of this year, The National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People says:
“The omy thing that will put a
stop to lynchings is the enactment
into law of legislation that will pun-
ish members of mobs, county and
state officials, and communities that
cause and permit this crime.”
Quite right, and the legislation
must be that of the several State As-
semblies, says the U. §. Supreme
Court, and not that of the U. s.
Congress which has not the power
to do so, says the same august body,
the court of the last resort and the
Judicial head in this country.
Whether there pave been three or
“4,000 known Iynchings in the Uni-
ted States and scarcely any convic-
tions of members of the mobs and
those responsible for this crime”
oes not alter in the least the U. S.
Supreme Court’s decision and ruling
that the several State Assemblies
only have the power to legislate
against lynch-murder and mob vio-
lence, and it is positively “silly” for
the N. A. A. ©. P. or any other or-
ganization, or person, to say other-
wise. It is not a question as to
whether “we” or anyone else “rec-
ognize ‘states rights’ in this mat-
ter,” or any other for that matter,
but one of LAW, pure and simple;
and law that has been passed upon
by the court of the last resort, the
highest legal tribunal in the land.
Therefore, it is not “surprising that
newspapers (and others) continue
to argue against Congress legisla-
tion against lynching and mob vio-
Ience” when the U. S. Supreme
Court has decided that it cannot en-
act a constitutional anti-iynching or
mob violence law. On the contrary
it is “silly” for the N. A. A. C. P.
or any other organization, to con-
tinue to try to lead an effort to ac-
complish the impossible.
‘The enactment of anti-lynch-mur-
der laws by a number of states in
recent years, one at least a border
southern state, {6 convineing proof
that it would be far better, more
sensible and productive of infinitely
greater results for the N. A. A. C.
P., and associate organizations, to
direct their combined effort to the
State Assemblies of the country in-
stead of wasting much valuable
time, effort and money bombarding
Congress for something it cannot
afford, and even if it could it will
not. For many years, Ohio was the
only state in the Union that had an
effective mob violence or anti-lynch-
ing law but it is different now. we
are greatly pleased to say. The
number of such (state)laws grows
slowly but surely each year and, too,
In the face of the foolish effort of
the N. A. A. C, P. to bull-doze the
U. 8. Congress into doing something
it cannot do, according to the U. S.
Supreme Court, the deciding power
in the matter. Let the N. A. A. C.
P. follow the advice, given it from
time to time by the editor of The
Gazette ever since it began its futile
effort to secure the enactment of a
federal anti-lynching “law,” and di-
rect its effort to the State Assem-
blies of the country and thus help
to do the effective work against the
mob and lynch-murder going for-
ward so encouragingly. The know!-
edge of the foregoing tacts, more
than twenty-seven years ago, was:
what caused us to introduce in the
Ohio Assembly and secure the en-
actment of Ohio's Anti-Lynching or
Mob violence law.

‘FOLLOW ME” SET A PACE
HARD TO FOLLOW
George White, of “The Scandals”
fame, is talking about producing a
musical comedy with Atro-Amer-
jean actors, but George is a little
late, as I. M. Weingarden has beat
him to it in staging “Follow Me,”
which opens a week's engagement
at the popular Globe Theater on
Monday night. And when we say
staging we mean every word of 1:
for “Follow Me” is a wealth of
beautiful scenery, rich plush
drapes, the equal of any of the big
top ‘price musical shows.” It is in
two acts and 16 scenes. The mu-
sie is of that yariety which keeps
one moving the fect and craving
for more, and the song numbers
have been entrusted to artists. who
know exactly how to render them,
and these are backed by a singing
nd dancing chorus of girls and
‘boys, drilled to perfection.
Billy Higgins and Clifford Ross
are the principal comedians, and
they will remind you of the famous
team of Williams and Walker.
Both of these artists have a “'sin-
gle” spot on the program and. in
each instance they show just. why
they have reached stardom, There
are 24 numbers done during the
Performance, aside from several
specialties, including two by Julian
Costello, the classic dancer. ‘These
‘numbers are productive of splendid
results and are rendered by Valada

OUR LESSON
‘We must tearn to govern omr-
selves and work together for
‘our own advancement. If we
do not learn to govern oareelves
and work together for our own
Advancement, we may be very
sure that we will be governed
by others in their own interest
‘as well as worked by others for
their own advancement and not
oura—George W. Blount,
THE MAN WHO DARES.
; honor the man who In
| the conselentious discharge of
| his duty dares to stand alone;
| the world, with Ignorant, in-
| tolerant judgment, may ‘con-
/ demn, the countenanees of
relatives may be averted, and
| the “hearts of friends grow |
cold, but the sense of duty |
done shali be sweeter than
the applause of the world, |
the countenances of relatives |
er the hearts of friends.”—
Charles Sunimer.
IS IT OF ANY USE TO CON-
TEND FOR BIGHTS?
Colored Americans are the
only race, responsible members
of which are in favor of sub-
mitting to discrimination on
the claim that their race “al-
ways will be discriminated
against.” The Jews are still
contending, after over 1900
years of universal discrimina-
tion, and are winning even so:
cial rights today. The Irish at
home have contended for 700
years and are winning because
they will die rather than sub-
mit. The race that says it's of
no ‘use to resist, dewns itself
and the world then will say,
“Negroes are not “worthy of
qqual rights; they are by na
ture without self-respect and
have no ‘guts.’” The world re-
spects only those who resent
and resist proseriptions for
race.
Let us be worthy of the abo-
Utionists, worthy of our own
fathers who have died in every
war to vindieate the title of
their race to equal liberty, and
forever resist denial of rights
in our native land, however
long race discrimination may
continue. To submit ts to de-
serve contempt. — Bosten

THE RACE.

Holders—Twenty Million Dollars of Insurance—

(Special to The Gazetic.)
Jersey City, N. J.—wNever before
in this or in any other country
have serious minded men and wom-
en of the race met to discuss and
plan ways whereby our people of
this country might come into thelr
own on equality with all other
groups. Many came to this meet-
ing in the most rebellious spirit.
Men and women with grievances
ame here and poured out those
grievances. What the race should
do as a voting group was the one
great problem before all. Eighteen
states were represented. Only one
newspaper. This was a mistake.
‘The Associated Press gave the con-
ference the front page in the great
dailies. Men spoke their mind and
allowed the world to know that
they were men and would accept
nothing less than a MAN would.
‘Two things were evident: Our vo-
ters were displeased with the pres-
ent attitude of the Republican
party, and setond: they had no
gonfidence in the Democratic. party.
The majority of the conference,
for a time, wanted to throw off ali
party alliance. Some praised the
Democratic party and its treatment
as shown by Tammany Hall in
New York. The real battle of the
gonference raged for twenty-four
hours within the committee on
platform. Two ‘reports ultimately
ame before the conference. The
majority report was signed by 14 per-
sons and the minority, by one. The
majority report recommended al-
Hance to no party (independence)
‘but the minority recommended al-
ance to the Republican party and
fight out our troubles within that
party. The majority. report re-
fused to make any reference to the
Tuskegee U. 8. Veterans Hospital
and the crisis it had brought to
the front; neither did it ask for
the passage of the Dyer Anti-
Lynching Dill. The minority re-
port insisted upon requesting the
President to make the hospital
“Negro” in all of its parts or raze
it; it called for the passage of
the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill and
also passage of a measure that
would enforce the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth Amendments. When the
majority had presented its report
Washington, D. C., Aug. 24, 1923
—An intensive campaign for new
Dusiness in Ohfo is to be made by
‘The National Benefit Lite Insurance
Company of Washington, D. C., and
to further this plan the stockholders,
at @ special meeting on August 11,
uthorized an increase in jhe capital
stock. from $100,000 to $250,000. It
is their aim to keep the company
the greatest financial organization
‘created, owned, and managed by col-
ored men in the interest of the race.
‘Twenty-five years ago the company
‘Was organized as the National Bene-
fit Association by Mr. H. W. Ruther-
ford, a young married colored man,
who came to the National Capitol
from Lynchburg, Virginia. His ¢otal
cash capital was $6, but he was pos-
sessed with untiring energy and
faith. He gathered around himself
@ few loyal supporters and_ then
hustled out after business. His of-
five furniture consisted of a table
anda chair. His salary was $35 the
month and he had to earn it by sell-
ing policies, and collecting _pre-
miums, which he did by pedalling
his way around the city on an old
dieycle.
But from that tiny beginning, by
means of hard steady work, intelli-
gent organization, and high-grade
personnel, the National Benefit Lite
Insurance Company, officered and
conducted entirely by colored people
and developed among men and wom-
en of the race, has grown into the
large and commanding position
which it occupies today, with an un-
broken record of twenty-five annual
dividends paid to stockholders, with
125,000 benefited policy holders, and
$20,000,000 of insurance in force.
Its ‘assets are $750,000, including
several valuable pieces of real es-
tate in the District of Columbia and
four states; a reserve fund of $461,-
592, a surplus of $100,00 and it has
on deposit $236,100 for the protec-
tion of policy holders. To carry on
its present business the company has
a force of 1,200 employes, includ-
ing 110 district managers and assist-
ants, 40 local agents and 950 field
agents.
Its hope of becoming an Old Line
Logal Reserve Company with a paid
up capital of $100,000.00 material-
zed in 1918 when its name was of-
ficially changed to The National
Benefit Life Insurance Company. It
operates in some states that no oth-
er colored company has yet succeed-
ed in entering. On more than one
oveasion it has successfully met com-
and defended it upon the floor, the
minority presented its and defend-
ed it, and before the minority had
finished there was the spirit which
clearly manifested {tself—thati the
minority report met the exigencies
of the time. Concessions were
made and the committee repaired
to its room and brought in a re-
port in which all sides agreed. The
minority won a decisive victory
when it forced the conference to
declare itself Republican and also
to include the vital tssues omitted
by the majority. Upon this report,
sent out to the world, all agreed
This means that northern states as
Well as central and western states,
whose Afro-American voters vote,
will not be satisfied with the status
quo of the Republican party. This
conference. by organizing the
states, will force these states to
treat squarely with our voters, giv-
ing them a share in ALL things.
The senators and _ representatives,
from these states, must defend on
the floors of Congress the good
name and interests of our voters.
Any senator or representative hos-
Gib to abaolste saeallty of sit vo-
rs is marked for our opposition.
The senators from these states
must intercede with the federal
government and see that our vo-
ters be rewarded by the govern-
ment in proportion to their voting
strength. AS a result of the bi-
partisan agreement, entered into
by certain senators and represen-
tatives, the Republican party has
adopted the attitude of the South
in its dealing with our voters. It
must be broken and our citizens
must. hold any office under the
government that any other group
may be appointed to . ““Lily-white-
ism," within the Republican party,
must go and the southern white
Republican must not dictate what

districts where Negroes have the
majority of votes, the party is
asked to nominate our men to the
National Congress, and the party
is expected to vote for them! We

gram. Let us see the member of

petition of the largest companies; it
issues a variety of industrial and or-
dinary policies calcuiated to meet
practically every need to which hu-
manity is heir and to materially as-
cist in smoothing life’s pathway in
in innumerable ways. It is the only
company of its kind incorporated un-
der laws enacted by U. S. Congress
for the District of Columbia. With
its present plant and plan, every-
thing seems ripe for it to become a
veritable insurance gateway of the
race. For whatever may eventually
bring one within its protecting folds
the National Benefit Life Insurance
Company, will not disappoint them.
This is the basis upon which the
business is sought. It is realized
that the company has come to stay
longer than any of them; possessed
of a perpetual charter, (like the
brook), goes on forever. It is an
educational factor of the highest val-
pe in business and is destined to
ax mightier and mightier in the un-
folding of time with the increase of
its business, policy holders and
assets.
‘The steady growth of the- Na
tional Benefit Life Insurance Com-
pany is a testimonial to the faith in-
dustry and loyalty of the employees,
who entered into the work with an
enthusiasm which knew no bounds.
But the simple truth is that the
man who founded this great and suc-
cesstul business organization for the
protection and benefit of the Negro
race, was dealing with gigantic forees
of life and self-deyelopment for a
whole people. Mr. Rutherford, fol-
lowing some’ inner guiding instinct
of faith, did not at the beginning
realize himself the enormous pow-
er which he was calling into action
—the power generated by combining
the ‘credit and earnings of a great
number for the protection of each
individual in time of emergency or
need. In a word, co-operation on a
great scale with systematic organiza-
tion and faithful attention to every
detail,

Editor Gazette, Dear Sir.—Having
heard Congressman Dyer’s advocacy
lof the remedial measures of his bill
fn Congress for the prevention of
Iynehings within the states, T was
moved to a careful search of the au-
thorities to find a basis of consti-
tutionality for its enactment and ef-
fective enforcement. With sincere
‘appreciation for the unusual zeal and
real enthusiasm that Mr. Dyer puts
Into his efforts for the enactment of
such a bill and not doubting his sin-
cerity in the least, I can not find any
precedent by. which the measure
would be held constitutional by the
U. 8. Supreme court should it be
passed. The greatest good that can
be hoped for is the molding of public
sentiment against lynching, I fear
that this benevolent effect would be
more than counteracted by an ad-
verse decision by the Supreme court,
holding the same to be unconstitu-
tional. Thus, re-assuring the per-
petrators of this national evil fur-
ther immunity from prosecution and
encouraging a stronger activity in
the continued commission of these
erimes.
It is a well established fact, so
held by the U, 8. Supreme court
from time to time, that the police
power of a state cannot be taken
away from it and exercised by the
federal government, save in so far as
it may have been delegated to it by
the citizens of the several states of
the union, Police power is declared
to be that power inherent with the
existence of the state to regulate by
governmental function the peace,
health, safety, and morality of its
citizens. The congress of the U. 8.
has no genoral police powers opera-
tive over the several states of the
union.
Stone vs, Miss., 101 U. 8. 814,
Boyd vs. Ala, 94 U, S., 645.
In respect to the provision in the
Fourteenth amendment to the U. 8.
Constitution for appropriate legisla-
tion by congress for its enforcement,
and on which Mr. Dyer bases consti
tutional foundation for his bill, the
U. 8. Supreme court has declared
that provision to give congress a cor-
rective power of legislation over the
states rather than creative or legis-
lative. “In other words, when a state
shall have passed a law, upon its
face, discriminating between citizens
on account of color, race, ete., the
congress may enact laws prohibitive
to the operation of same.
In the Civil Rights bill, passed by
congress in 1875, by virture of the
power given it by the Fourteenth
Amendment, for the purpose of pro-
hibiting discrimination against Col-
ored people within the states by pub-
lic places of accommodation, such as
hotels, theaters, etc., and public con-
veyances over land and water, the
Supreme court has held such legisla-
tlon by congress to be clearly uncon-
stitutional and void; that the con-
gress has no legislative authority to
enact such laws.

USE UP GOLD TAILINGS
South Africa
About 25,000,000 tons of gold ore ts
hoisted out of the mines of the Wit
watersrand in south Africa every
year, and the disposal of the tailings,
as the gefuse rock is called after it
has been crushed to a sand and the
gold extracted by the cyanide of pot-
assium process constitutes one of the
biggest problems in the operation of
some of the mines.
As a general thing gold mines are
Jocated in a mountainous country, and
the tailings can be dumped in almost
any quantity down a mountain side,
but in the Witwatersrand the coun
try is flat and special methods must
be used to prevent the mine and mill
from being buried. In the type of tall-
ings conveyor and stacker most con
monly used, an inclined steel struc-
ture, supported on steel towers, cat
ries a cableway equipped with buck-
ets with which the tailings are car
ried and dumped in a pile at some
distance from the mill, The pile even-
tually grows to enormous size, and
most of the steel structure is buried
and lost.
These tailing piles are a striking
feature of the Witwatersrand, but
‘8 great nuisance as well, as in the dry
season the wind carries the sand over
the whole countryside, unless the pile
covered with some such substance as
salt, which absorbs enough moisture
to prevent the material from being
blown away. In some cases the prob-
Jem is solved by running the talings
back Into worked out portions of the
mine.—Popular Mechanics.

terial for the purpose that could be
imagined. Artificial Limbs are made
of basswood or willow, supplemented
to some extent with leather.
‘The lumber for them is carefully
selected and the first step in the mal
ing of a false leg is to cut from the
raw material a block eight inches
square and of the requisite length.
‘Through it a hole is bored lengthwise
with a large auger, and then the block
is put aside in a dry place and at
lowed to season, It ought to season
for three years.
It is then carved In imitation of a

but methods of manufacture vary.

one to walk without limping, or one
may even tango satisfactorily, but lors

Under the Inw any person who hes
lost a leg or an arm, a foot or a hand
in the service of the United States
Government is entitled to an arti
ficial member every three years. Th
is a very liberal allowance, becouse
a false leg if not abused ought to
last eight years. Furthermore the
right is not restrieted to soldiers and
sailors; elvilian employes of Uric
Sam can enjoy it likewise,
Few artificial arms arc asked fo:
by those entitled to them, not mor
than one arm, indeed, for every 109

lost such members prefer as a rule
to accept a money equivalent instead
‘They are at Uberty under the law to
draw $50 every three years in lieu
of an arm, or if'a lex be in question
the cash commutation allowed is $75
‘There are in this country forty odd
manufacturers of artificial mbs, and
their products differ somewhat in
style and construction. Congress has
declared that the maimed veteran is
at lberty to choose his own make of
leg or arm. To be fitted with it he
may journey to any elty in the United
States where the false member can
be purchased and the Government
will pay his traveling expenses, in
cluding Pullman car accommodations.
It will not pay for his meals en-
route, a ruling on the part of Unele
Sam that has elicited a good deal of
grumbling. But a crippled old soldier
residing in San Francisco may, if he
chooses, buy a false lex in Boston,
traveling clear across the continent
and back at the Government's ox-
pense. Some veterans of the civil war
‘once in three years attend the G. A.

themselves for travel, electing as is
their privilege to purchase incidentally

Such false legs and arms as can
now be bought are of course very
modern inventions. It may be taken
for granted, however, that artificial
substitutes forslost limbs date back
to a remote antiquity. Dr. Ales
Herdlicka of the Smithsonian institu-
tlon recently dug up in Peru a false
foot of wood, apparently prehistoric,
which was a mere block with a socket,
evidently intended to be fastened to
the ankle of a person whose foot had
deen amputated.
