FEDERAL COUNCIL OF THE CHURCHES OF CHRIST IN AMERICA CALLS FOR JUSTICE TO THE NEGRO MOST DISTINCTIVE WEEKLY IN AMERICA FEDERAL WHITE PARENTS ARRESTED BY OK- LAHOMA POLICE CHARGED WITH CONSENTING TO MARRIAGE OF DAUGKTER WITH NEGRO. John Grayson Pleaded Gulty to Assaulting 14-Year Old White Girl John Grayson, Negro, charged with a statutory offense, entered a plea of guilty in the district court Saturday, and was sentenced to serve seventy years in the state penitentiary. In the information filed two months ago by County Attorney W. W. Cotton, it was charged that Grayson assaulted Elizabeth Fackler, a 14-year old white girl. Later developments, however, tended to show that the mother and father had given their consent to assault, and Grayson was arrested. He has been said that Grayson, obtained the consent of the girl's parents, after he had promised to marry the girl and to present the mother and father with a farm in Missouri. The mother and father were also placed under arrest charged with being parties to the compounding of a felony. Three brothers of the girl have been arrested and are now awaiting trial. This sentence of seventy years is the longest ever proposed by a Muskogee county court where the prisoner entered a plea of guilty. Ohio Building and Loan Associations Grow. The Director of Negro Economics, U. S. Department of Labor, has just called attention to some constructive work of his Division in Ohio. As a result of inadequate housing conditions in several counties most important centers to which Negro workmen have gone in large numbers since 1916, Charles E. Hall, Supervisor of Negro Economics for Ohio, began early in May, 1919, a campaign for building and loan associations to be organized and affiliated with women and women in each of these congested communities to assist Negroes to buy or build homes. A circular letter calling attention to "Housing Facilities for Negro Labor" together with a statement giving information about the project or organizing building and loan associations was carefully prepared and mailed from the Columbus office on May 8, and, through the courtesy of the Department of Building and Loans, copies of the laws of Ohio relating to housing were mailed to the Chairman of each County Negro Worker's Advisory Committee. A model from of Constitution and By-laws was also prepared by the Supervisor who gave copies to those most interested. Through correspondence and local contact from Lake Erie to the Ohio River. Prior to this, there was only one Association, The Star Building and Loan Association of Toledo, which was under the direction and control of Colored men. Since the inauguration of the campaign of Supervisor Hall, three other associations have been organized and chartered, one at Springfield, Middletown and Cleveland, while others are being promoted at Akron, Cincinnati, Columbus and Youngstown by influential men who belong to racial opportunities through co-operative enterprises. The four companies mentioned have a combined capitalization of $255,000 with riot stock already in excess of $450,000. The Negroes of Ohio now lead those of all other northern states in this enterprise. The Dallas Express The Republican Party Is The Ship, All Else Is The Sea."—Fred Douglas. NEGRO'S POLITE MANNER AND COURAGEOUS CONDUCT WON HEARTS OF FRENCH. Baltimore, Md. 25.—There appeared in a recent issue of the Baltimore, (MD) Sun, the following article written by Jean Boileau, a Frenchman, in which he vigorously defends his countrywomen for their "Deep Affection for Colored Americans." "Sir-I should prefer to remain silent in the comparative merits of the American and the French girls. But since so much is being said in your Forum favorable and unfavorable of the girls of France, I beg to state what I, and thousands of other Frenchmen believe to be the main cause of all bitter criticism of the women of my native land. "The main cause of the criticism is found in a letter to your Forum of the 6th instant signed by "Allen P. Saddler." Your correspondent uncle, Mr. Saddler, wrote when he says that "the good French girls love Negroes." This fact of French women's love for American Negroes is the tarproot of the unfavorable comments made by white women in French women were urged not to mingle with Colored American soldiers. They were told many awe-inspiring tales about Negro soldiers as a whole. But their social experience was not fully failed to verify the many stories which had been bouring into their cars. A brief social contact with the American Negro soon caused all fear to vanish like a stain of blood. They were women of my country fallen, victims to this subtle and extensive propaganda launched in France by white Americans against Colored Americans; had they not told what is known in they drawn the "color line" and refused to open their arms and their hearts to the Americans of ebony hue they would probably have been exalted to the sky as being the most beautiful and most worthy girls on earth. But no! French women do not measure men according to the color of their skin. A white skin is not essential to present a French citizenship. French women are criticised because of their love for Colored soldiers. But why should they hate Negroes as such? Or why should they even ignore the color of their skin? The Negroes, very polite, sincerely manner, their exemplary conduct among the french civilians and their reckless, brave and courageous conduct on the firing line won the heart of the French people. Also, also of the French people as a whole. These brown skin sons of America were conceded to be the most lovable of all foreign soldiers on French soil. They were guarded as unworthy because their affections for these men of color, then the French people as a whole must for the same reason be deemed unworthy. French people do not discriminate against their own colonials on account of their color. They honor and respect them. It was the mighty Senegalese who saved the day for their beloved France and France and France is not ashamed to acknowledge her indebtedness to these conquering sons of Africa. The French girls would regard as unreasonable any their own colonials and France will their social welcome they extend to their colonials. Likewise, they cannot see the reason or sense of any their widely known hearty attachment to American Negroes. With this "fault" of having deep affection for Colored Americans all other faults of French women sink into significance. If the American people as a whole knew that they are finding fault with French girls, to prejudice their minds against THE PROBLEM NO LONGER SECTIONAL. CO-OPERATION AND RACIAL UNDERSTANDING NECSSARY. A CONSTRUCTIVE PROGRAM. A call to the citizens of the United States to act in conformity with the high ideals of democracy and of Christianity in the present condition of strained relations between the races has just been issued by the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, acting in conjunction with a large representative committee of white and colored citizens from all sections of the country. This committee met recently in New York to discuss the history of the Home Missions Council and the chairman of the Committee of the Federal Council on Negro Churches. Much time was given to a racial situation. As a result this admonition was issued which presented the thought of these leaders and the deliberative judgment of the Administrative Committee of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America. A Statement and Recommendations On The Present Racial Crisis. The recent race conflicts in some FREE VENEREAL CLINICS ESTABLISHED IN TULSA Tulsa, Okla., Sept. 25. About 15 Negro doctors do a regular practice among their own race in Tulsa have said that 75 per cent of their practice is venal. This fact came to light when Dr. C. L. Reeder, as county superintendent of health, took some preparatory steps in the North Greenwood Avenue neighborhood. Dr. Reeder said Thursday that the venal is going to be accepted kindly by the medical profession there, and joyously be a large accomplishment. He will advise Thus Alexander the camp community service secretary, has informed the superintendent of health that he is in a position to procure the old Booker T. Washington hospital building to be used by the county as an institution. D. Reeder D. Reeder that the best doctors in the new section will be glad to give their services to the clinic, at certain hours, and in every way cooperate with the health department in fighting the social disease. American Negroes they could then see, as I do, the reason for all this talk against French girls. French girls have no hatred or prejudice in French society, and their skin of other people. Is this a just cause for condemnation? French people do not think so, and cannot be made to think so. Many French girls will testify that many French girls courtly and better treatment from the American Negroes than from the whites. No Negro ever referred to French women as a "jane" or with any other sturring jacket. By the way, I noticed that even your correspondent uses the French girls' in reference to the French girls. If the failure on the part of French women to hate and discriminate against American Negroes merely because of race or color be regarded as a fault, then French women are proud of such a fault." of our cities challenge the attention of the Churches of Jesus Christ to their responsibility, respecting an amicable and fair adjustment of race relations in America, the fellowship of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America are included 3,985,852 members of the Negro churches. In speaking therefore at this time for humanity and justice we voice the mind and conscience of both races. We call upon all men to the Churches charmed with the promotion of the brotherhood of men, which look upon all men as entitled to a footing of equality of opportunity. This calls for preaching the duty of economic and community justice for all men, and for good and goodwill between the races. Beyond all else the present situation calls for confession on the part of Christian men and women of failure to live up to the standard of universal brotherhood as taught by Jesus Christ. In the adjustment of race relations (Continued on page 4). SOUTH'S BEST THO OFFERS A SOLUTION Blue Ridge, N. C., Sept. 25- Slxty-five college professors and ministers spent ten days at Blue Ridge recently studying and discussing race problems in the South. They find acute need for more thoughtful and just consideration of these matters by the South at large. "Conditions," they say, "call for the utmost tact, sanity, and respect." They argue that race "the fact that extremists and radicals are to be found of both colors 'should not interfere with a stateman program,' constructive, Christian program.' They believe "that the returning Negro soldiers have in the past been so brutal that they 'and should be welcomed back as having done a great service to the nation and the world.'" "The organization of secret societies for the intimidation or persecution of Negroes is the most common and serious form of county authorities are urged to "aggressively resist" such organizations as well as take aggressive action for the prevention of mobs and the punishment of violence. Local organizations of whites to uphold law and secure the rights of the suspects are noted and approved. A chief necessity they conclude is "for Southern white men more thoroughly to inform themselves of real conditions, economic, social and moral, among Negroes. This is the college, churches, and business organizations to find out the actual facts in particular localities," which should result in "improvement of living conditions and educational facilities. It would call attention to frequent inquiries about the factory transportation facilities. It would lead to appreciation of the progress Southern Negroes are making in business, education and moral ideals. Co-operation between the leaders of both races, made possible by the prejudice, disdain, rumors, and make possible a splirit of genuine sympathy." IF NEIGHBORS CONTINUE STRIFE SHE WILL REGAIN LOST TERRITORY. Nation Stronger Than Ever Before in Golden of U. S. Envoy. Paria, Sept. 25—"Germany came through this war, a perfect dynamo of strength. Her human military power is practical as great as ever, and her 65,000,000 people have been schooled and hardened by trials. They have learned economy and self denial. "The nation has been compressed into a concentrated mass, which is surcharged with energy and moving with centripetal force, while Germany has been compressed out thin and quarreling and moving centrifugal force. Thus spoke Henry Morghanan, who headed the United States investigation commission which has been at work since 1995, to describe his observations in central Europe. "And what will be the result?" Mr. Morghanan asked. Relying to his own question, he continued: "If disintegration keeps up among Germany, it can be but one result. I doubt whether Germany fully appreciates her own strength. As she sits calmly watching the dickering going on between the new states, which an losing state has been over, she is observing over little strips of territory, she must take grim satisfaction in the battle her enemies are waging in her behalf, and a Germany, encouraged by such discord among weak and strong states, must resort to arms within a few years and again her lost territory." BACHELORS! TAKE TO COVER, GIRLS COMING New York, N. Y., Sept. 25—Five thousand well-to-do British women determined to obtain American husbands, soon will arrive in the United States, according to a warning issued to bachelors today. Mr. Seywau, a former Navy Yankee, has just returned from Europe. Mrs. Seywau was employed by the military authorities to supervise the transportation of the war brides of American soldiers in different parts of Europe. Mrs. Seywau, a former military army of invasion has already applied for passports and would arrive as soon as the present restrictions are lifted, which is expected to be on October 1. The next eight months abroad, Mrs. Seywau arranged for the transportation of 3,500 war brides and 257 children, representing 22 nationalities. She said 150 of the brides were Czecho-Slovaks and that many more of the same nationality were coming to the United States who are due to arrive here Monday on the steamship President Grant. Negro Sailors Charged With Murder of Captain. Wilmington, N. C., Sept. 25.—The seven Negroes of the crew of the schooner William H. Sumer, who ran aground on Topsail Inlet, while enroute from Puerto Rico to New York, ran into a ransomrants charging murder of the vessel's captain, Robert E. Cochrane. Following the story of the Negro mate, Charles Lacey, that the young skipper committed suicide because of despondency over the disillusionment with the commander, federal and country authorities started and investigation. Peculiar circumstances surrounding the affair aroused suspicion and the authorities say they believe they have sufficient circumstantial evidence to prove Negro crew on charges of murder. "A CONSERVATIVE YET FEARLESS CHAMPION OF JUSTICE." PRICE FIVE CENTS E NEGRO NEGRO REPUBLICAN CREATES STIR IN COUNTY PRIMARY WHITE REPUBLICANS CHARGE NEGRO INFLUENCED BY DEMOCRATS TO SPLIT VOTE Washington, D. C. Sept., 25.—A Colored man in primaries in Prince George's county, Md., polled a surprisingly large vote as a Republican candidate for county commissioner, but was defeated by a small plurality by two white candidates. This would ordinarily be of no interest, but is now claimed to be significant as regarding the purpose of the Colored voters in that county and in other southern Maryland counties, where the Negro vote controls things for the Republican party, to obtain hereafter recognition from the white Republicans who hold all the offices to be had, and have never divided with the Colored voter who furnished the largest part of the party strength in all these counties. This ambitious Colored candidate was John D. Browndus. He made a sharp campaign for the nomination of the Republican candidate in an imitation of a primary ballot on which was printed his name and that of four other Colored candidates as delegates to the Republican State convention. Their convention delegates were nominated without objection. Was there one of the appeals of Brodus: "Our votes control the Republican party. Without us they are lost. See if our white friends we fought alongside of will help our party win." We will be more null with our Congressman." Brodus told the Colored voters everywhere that the Negro soldier had fought for the country; that for years, Colored men have consistently supported the Republican ticket, all the counties of the Fifth Maryland Congressional district with out scratching, and that they have never gotten anything for their loyalty. The Republicans were embarrassed by the Republican ticket, that he was influenced to enter the race and make the campaign by Democrats of Prince George's, who believed that it would make trouble for the Republicans. Denied sedition on principles, and will continue to preach the doctrine, in hattu county and elsewhere in the Fifth district, that the Negro voter must have recognition within his party, or he would be expected to furnish the votes and get nothing for his fidelity and loyalty. Douglass Rally A Success Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 25.—Strong appeals to the racial honor of the Colored people of Philadelphia characterized the meeting for the benefit of the Poudreik Douglass Memorial Hospital in the Olympia Theatre, Broad and Bainbridge Streets. More than 4000 heard Dean William Pickens, a graduate of Yale and now dean of Morgan College, Baltimore, state that the denial of state aid to the hospital "was done as a direct challenge to the manhood and self respect of the Negro." They concurred in the sentiment with loud applause. In the absence of Colonel Franklin A. Denison, advertised to be the chief speaker of the program, the crowd came forward enthusiastically with contributions toward the $50,000 estimated that between $6000 and $6000 was given at the meeting to add to the $10,000 already given. The name of Edwin H. Vare led the list of contributions announced with a contribution of $500. It was greeted with much applause. ```markdown ``` GRAND CENTRAL THEATRE --- GR Just in time!

How shall we measure a race of people, long since has been a thought in my mind? Another thought has been equally pregnant, shall we measure them using Dr. Scarborough, the Greek author as the criterion or the standard, and begin somewhere to delineate, and where would you my reader begin, if it were left to you? Well, you have no doubt heard the argument that only fifteen per cent of the population stands in the test of true citizenship, and this is a deep cut, and by what authority this would be separated drew his conclusion, we known not, but if he drew it from the standpoint of the people of the world that he drew it not according to the facts in the case but according to his own fancy, his own feeling; for we have heard that the black man was the one man who could be a whatever position he might be placed where responsibility and trust were to be considered. To measure a whole race of people, many conditions and phrases will have to be taken into account, and they are numerous to be considered in this brief sketch in which we plan to speak briefly of some very excellent young men that are pride to our city, and who are worthy of emulation, and by these we may measure. We wish to speak of the Richie Brothers, F. K. Richie and J. B. Richie, these two young men are graduates of the Trinity College Institute, where they were students for four years. While in this institution studying and preparing themselves along the lines of efficiency both in the industrial and in the academic, they put on the overalls and the jumps, manipulated the tools of the work shop, became accustomed to the blue print and required a comprehensive knowledge of mechanical drawing and design in the handicraft, bolter making and repairing, directing the work and serving as foremen, being industrious and economical with the material and the property intrusted to their care.

He worked his wages up from $8 a month during the war and warded for his diligent care of affairs pertaining to his trust and stewardship. Shall we measure the race by individual success or by the number of hours worked. Mr. King has held several positions of honor and trust, and at present he is the shipping clerk of Sanger Bros., in the Victoria department. He is also a layman in the church, and he is a choir. God wants men who eat bread by the sweat of their own brow. Some how the successful Colored man is connected with some branch of the church. What does this mean? It means that the future of the church them to be great factors in the civilization that is about to dawn upon the human family. There are no indels in the Negro race. There are no atheists in this race. We are God's second choice for the coming king. There are no indels established without the sword. Every man of the race that does old things with new methods and new skill is a monument to the late Booker T. Washington who made a plea for such through his work. He wanted nothing but the full measure of a man, the full measure of his race, this was his industrial gospel that ran through the warp and filling of the garment that he would have the man and brother weave although he had passed the real estate but the best degree of a college education. The Rev. E. L. Green, the supervisor of the Adolphus hotel of this city is a monument that the sage of Tuskegee would greet both the church man for it was Rev. Green, who contracted to be supervisor of the Adolphus, but stipulated that he must have the sabbath for rest and repose and the deep sleep of the supervisor of forty-colored waiters, and on last Monday morning put on thirty Negro boys the first in the history of this great hotel. It is claimed that he was the first to serve girls as waitresses in the entire south. Mr. Green has had considerable experience as a hotel supervisor, having served five years in San Antonio, three years at the Saint George of Chicago, two years in the New Southland, Chicago, the present position at the Adolphus of Dallas is the proud culmination of his masterful service, where he is held in high regard, all who come in contact with him.

M. P. PENN. Dr. Marion P. Penn, the subject of this sketch was born in Jefferson, Marion Conuty, Texas, Oct. 22, 1866, where he spent the most of his youth. His parents had died when he was one, whom he could depend, made it difficult for him to succeed. But being determined and full of ambition, he pushed his way through the public school, and was chosen teacher of the school of his home town, which he taught for several years. He took on new energy from this success, and entered Wiley University at Marshall, Texas, when he came out with the degree of "Bachelor of Pedagogy" in 1892. After finishing from this school, he went to Oklahoma, and was a successful teacher of that state, having secured his degree made. It was here, he decided to take a course in medicine. He went to Chicago, and after taking a three years' course there, he went to Maribury Medical School, Tenn., where he finished with honors in 1902. Feeling that he was prepared for life's duties, he returned to Texas, and began his practice at Pilot Point. Remaining here for more than a year, where he devoted more than 15 years to the upift and aid of suffering humanity. Realizing that his health was failing he gave up his practice in early spring and went to New York to work in a wall. With an unimproved condition, he returned home, where he continued growing worse. until the end came, Wednesday, Sept. 10 after assuring his dear wife that he would keep hisouch with her until the end. Dr. Marion P. Penn came to an end. He decided to live alone and devote his time wholly to the good of his race, but two hearts, unaware were beating as one. Christmas 1911. Miss J. Nixon, Mrs. J. Nixon, visited her sister, Mrs. Irene Napoleon (then of Dallas) and Rev. and Mrs. Lincoln also of Dallas. It was during this visit that she met Dr. Penn, and when they met, regardless of his monotony, she gave her heart out to her and hers to him, he met his bride. Christmas 1912, he visited the beautiful little town of Arcadia and secured her promise in the marriage of his son, the most beautiful wedding that had ever occurred in this little town. Miss Johnnie B. Wilson became Mrs. Dr. M. P. Penn. She was beautifully attired in white mescaline satin arcs and had a monotony of beaded blossoms giving the gown the appearance of diamonds. The snow drops were beautifully looped with a bunch of wax orange blossoms, while the white slippers had a cluster of beaded blossoms. The vell, caught in the form of a queen's crown, extended three yards to the end of the bridal train. The groom was attired in a black Prince coat and had a cluster of beaded blossoms on the gloves of his coat and kid gloves. The bride maids beautifully attired in bikins gowns carried large bouquets of pink roses. Eight groomes were looking their best. Dr. F. T. Jones of Shreveport, was best man Little Mattle Wilson attired in his little pink satin gown, carried the diamond ring on a cut-glass tray, and had a cluster of beaded blossoms girl, strewed flowers upon which the bride and groom passed to the altar Mrs. V. C. Pipes (white) one of the wealthiest ladies of Arcadia, directed out the color scheme, pink and white. This scheme was intermingled with a beautiful back ground of English and Malden hair ferns. The two hearts entwined under which the bride and groom were blazes of two hearts beating as one Preceding the entrance of the wedding party, Mrs. A. E. Davis of Shreveport, sang "O, Promise Me," after which she softly played the wedding song. The arm of her brother, by whom she gave away. Rev. Dr. G. W. Mills of Shreveport, pastor of the C. M. E. Temple performed the ceremony that made two hearts happy. Dr. and Mrs. Nixon, visited Dallas, their future home where they lived happily for six years, two months and ten days. A Card. There is nothing more consoling than sympathy when one is undergoing the keenest affliction which humanity can sustain. This world has seemed a one of blackness and darkness and the other of death. I vaulted my home, and taken my dean husband, Dr. M. P. Penn. In this dark an hour, my friends have not left me alone to bear the burden. During the whole siege of his house, I have been with him and do come with you love, assistance with beautiful flowers and cheer. For these lovely demonstrations and tokens I extend to one and all my heartfelt gratitude. Had it not been for you, I could not have endured. Signed: M.D. MRS. P. DENN. SAN ANUGELO. San Angelo.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1919. WHAT THE NEGRO WANTS. Of all expressions recently made public by members of the Race giving the position of the Negro himself on his own problem, none has come to our attention that goes to the root of the whole matter with more precision and clearness than the president of the Louisville which appeared in The St. Louis Post Dispatch under date of August 10, 1919. Dr. Scott is eminently fitted to speak for the race on any subject of ravishing service to the interest of the race at Tuskegee, in the very heart of the black belt of Alabama, and under the late Booker. T. Washington, Secretary of the Civil War, has devoted service to the assistant Secretary of War during the recent international conflict, have given Dr. Scott an insight into the many ramifications of the Negro problem possessed by him, and next capable interpreter of the desires of the race in this country. He knows the souls of black people in every section—their aims, their hopes, their aspirations. After discussing the race in the people, he affirms in our people, Dr. Scott summarizes as follows: "To all your questions there is a cheerful answer. If there is a crisis in the race problem it is because the nation has ignored, neglected and abused the people it must we face it—and who shall say we are afraid to face it? "Social Equality A Mismaner. "Too often the whole question is neglected by many persons North and South, who conduce up the spectre of 'social equality,' a term which, as often used, is a minion. Every self-respecting Colored man and woman is often an individual to decide whom his associates and companions shall be. Nor is the Negro- and I think I am rather well acquainted with the main hopes and aspirations of my individual to decide upon anyone or any purely social group in which he is not welcomed. But that has nothing to do with the civic rights and privileges to which every person is entitled to live nearly 200,000 black soldiers who have returned from France, where in the eyes of native men and women they were not regarded as pariads, but simply as good fighting men who must be to do the job they were not to do. "Now do our people dream of using force to overcome those who spitefully treat them, say within the bounds of strict and instinctive self-control, to force them to kill all his heart, and what America will proudly concede him, I do believe, can be stated very easily. "In substitution for lynchers he will be the slave of the prisoner he wants the privilege in the court; he wants the privilege of serving on juries; the right to vote; the right to hold office, like other citizens. He wants better educational facilities, abolition of the military, discrimination and segregation in the Government service; the same military training and chance for promotion in the army that white men have; an equal wage better housing, better sanitary conditions and reforms in Southern penal institutions. "That is the Negro problem. Does it impose too much on the great democracy of world? I can not believe that it does." To bring these things to pass, we are constrained to say, the Negro welcomes assistance from every friend, be he white or black, Joe or Gentile, wife he Bald or Woman North or South. This question is a national question and it is going to require the wisdom of every section to settle it. We fully realize that these things can be brought to use within a day; it is going to require much time, much toll and some suffering. But, since God is God and right is right, they will surely come to pass. In the mean time let us educate, let us acquire wealth, let us be law abiding intellectually protest against injustice. The food of our children should not be selected by themselves. They have little knowledge of the relative value of foods. This is too often true of the parents. This would seem to be a good food social worker to be of great use to the race and to the society. UNITY, THE GREAT NEED OF THE RACE AT PRESENT. This is an age of monopolies, trust, combines and unions. If one must enter combat with a skilled antagonist it behoves him to be armed and aware that will best insure his success. Concerted action and collective bargaining have proven to be the most effective weapons of this commercial fact, the face of people can rarely hope for success unless it is thus armed. The Negro race can not hope to be any exception to this most universal law. Organization is an effective weapon of this commercial fact, the face of people can rarely hope for success the fateful mandate-unite or perish-has gone forth to the civilized world. Shall the Negro race plod heedlessly on whilst the rest of the civilized world is organizing a industrial conflict the world has ever known? The Negro people must get together if the hope to secure for themselves a reasonable portion of the benefits that should come to the Negro people. During this period of reconstruction and re-adjustment of the world's activities to a peace basis, the voice of the individual will not be heard, and the responsibilities will be able to obtain a hearing. Where the world again swings into her accustomed stride, with peace guaranteed for ages by the "League of Nations," the accustomed may be compelled to await another upheaval of the world's peaceful relations. Hence at this period the peoples of the entire civilized world may have to have their greivances adjusted. Will the Negro unite his forces and for once present an unbroken bond with the whites in a hearing at this most opportune moment? Do not forget that this is a time of reconstruction. A time at which every race and class of people are united in which it may be compelled to remain perhaps for centuries. One seems to think now is the psychological moment for the adjustment. In our humble opinion the peoples of the world are not mistaken. Now is the time for re-adjustments. Let the Negro people a unit is to those great grievances which threaten their economic, industrial and social welfare. When our leaders appear before the proper tribunal for the re-adjustment of those evils that have proven such in the past, they must tell that a united race stands at their back and supports their every contention. Be law-abiding citizens and demand equal protection from the law-makers. Colored men and women, he conservative in your style of apparel—fashion is merely mob violence running wild. The Negro is not a degenerate, he is undeveloped. Herein lies his hope of the future. The effort to make the Negro an ideal citizen has not received the attention by our leaders that its importance demands. Individuals may not usurp the majesty of the law in the administration of justice. This is the work for which the courts were established. Congress may legislate in our behalf: the courts of justice may find in our favor: but public opinion, alas, has the power to place our rights within our reach. The necessity of sanitary conditions on our homes can not be too often not impressed upon our people and the general public. The results of the great world's war, in so far as it directly affected the Negro race have been very displeasing. It has been directly opposite to that anticipated. We have often heard it said that "where ignorance is bliss to be wise." Could it be possible that the Negro world came wise upon matters that were detrimental to his own interest? One thing is sure: the consensus of the Negro, the Negro, is that the war has not given a chance upon the offences of his white neighbor. FEDERAL COUNCIL OF CHURCHES OF CHRIST IN AMERICA- (Continued from page 1). our country has in this crisis not only its own conscience to satisfy, but also to justify itself as a nation before the enlightened opinion of mankind for most exponent of ideals of democracy, the United States has been lifted to the full view of the world. Our present settlement therefore of race relations will influence in a very large measure the settlement of race relations in the United States. We must face frankly the fact that a most dangerous inter-racial situation now threatens our country. The problems growing out of the presence of two races in America must be addressed, and the adjustments must necessarily be made on the basis of national responsibility. The migration of thousands of Negroes to the North emphasizes this fact. The outbreaks of violence and the persistence of the unarchy and treason in Lynch-law imperial our democracy. The actual practice of the principles of the brotherhood of Christ can prevent much conflicts and nothing else will. The church must offer ideals the program and the leadership must meet. The church must meet its obligation, or leadership will pass not only to secular agencies, economic or socialal, but to forces that are destructive of civilization. We must confess that the church and its ministry as related to the welfare of the Negro has been too little inspired by the fundamental principles and ideals of Jesus Christ. THE DALLAS EXPRESS, DALLAS TEXAS, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1919. Communities that have expressed horror over trocies abroad, have seen, almost unmoved and silent, men beaten, hanged and also burned by the mob. The Negro has ever shown profound faith in God and has always looked to the church for leadership, for counsel and for guidance. The church which for fifty years has served in the education and betterment of the race will now be reckent to her trust and lose her birth-right of service if she does not meet this challenge with a full measure of responsibility and a full measure of service for justice, peace and good will. To this end we therefore urge upon the church, her ministry and membership this constructive pro- THE MIRROR OF PUBLIC OPINION COLORED WOMEN IN INDUSTRY. general are responsible of our present-day fiend—them is too many may lend encourage high heels, but it would like to see we sensible foot appear would prevent the fire doing very heavy work in bricky walls, sawmills, and glass factories. The nothing of the math railroads employed in the great standpoint. A fathom fashion A Constructive Program for Just Inter-Racial Relations. 1. The Government, local, state and national, should impartially guarantee to all classes security of life and of property. Mob violence is the result of property and property are ruthlessly taken, when men and women are lynched with no protection from officers or courts, law and order are trampled under foot. We call upon the pulpit, the public, to create a public sentiment that will support necessary legislation for the enforcement of existing laws, that life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness may be equally assured to all. 2. The Negro should have economic justice, equal opportunity to get and hold work on the same terms as other men, with equal pay and opportunities, in housing and living conditions. The entrance of large numbers of Negroes into the various industries emphasizes the necessity of an immediate amicable adjustment of relations of employment of white employers and fellow-workers. 3. We call upon men and women everywhere to protect the sanctity of home and womanhood. We record the commitment of Negro leaders in a program of education and Christianization such as tends to prevent crimes that provoke mob violence. The home of the Negro should receive the same protection as that of other Americans, and the sanctity of his home relations should be safeguarded in every possible way. Swift and impartial action of the law should strike the violator of the law or the oblivion of the place. 4. We recognize as fundamental to the welfare and efficiency of society that adequate re-creational provisions be made available for Negro children. 5. We strongly endorse the plea of the Negro for equal traveling accommodations for equal charges. 6. Adequate educational facilities for Negro children and youth should be provided for the obligation but also as a necessity for national welfare. We emphasize the urgency of giving to the Negro his full share of local national funds. Qualifications for franchise should be based on irrespective of race, creed or color. 8. Closer co-operation between the races should be promoted by organizing local committees of white and Colored people in town and county inter-racial welfare. All possible agencies should be enlisted in fostering a spirit of justice and of good will in the relations of one race to the other. We recommend that the governor each state appoint a committee to study the causes underlying race friction with a view to their remit and that Congress be requested through a non-partisan committee to investigate the disturbed and threaten-ing racial situation throughout the nation. Bracial understanding and co-operation furnish the only sure basis of race adjustment in a democracy. The root of the matter is the failure to recognize the importance of distress on both sides is fear, and "fear hath torment". Respect for Negro manhood and womanhood is the only basis for amicable race adjustment, for race integrity and equality. We talk democracy, let us act democracy. If we propose a democratic program for the protection and self-determination of the weak and oppressed people of Europe as a means of permanent peace and good relations, we apply the same program at home.

Delegates attend from every Southern state, most of them being sent by white women of the various denomination; and of the women's clubs. Colored women who show interest in the people, or who possess powers of leadership, are sent by these white groups to the Conference. Railroad fare and ten dollars, for board and incidentals cover all expenses. Convicts races in the Bible, home-making, care of children, community betterness, etc.; and the communities to which the students return usually show the effects of their broadened outlook and training. It is expected that students attending will be the largest vet recorded. THE MIRROR OF PUBLIC OPINION COLORED WOMEN IN INDUSTRY. The work of Colored women during the mobilization of women power to fill men's places proved that the Colored woman has her place in industry and is capable of maintaining high principles of money, security, and skill, mutilated fell to her lot and we found her doing very heavy work in brickyards, sawmills, and glass factories. The railroadies employed her in great numbers to do yard-work and truck work, and she also found that she needed in labor which required more skill, in knitting and clothing mills, in underwear, button, embroidery, and feather factories. One place which was working two shifts, white women had the day shift and Colored women the night shift. During a given length of time the output of the two shifts was compared and the Colored women worked 1500 more shells than the white. A group of Colored women in one city were found dipping clay in glaze and stacking chipping impurities from clay showplays and wheeling iron in pots and scrap iron. In some of these cases the women were being paid less than men whose places they were so efficiently filling. The wages paid to men were three dollars a day for notile work or the bank who released them for the Army were given a dollar or half dollar less. To prevent conditions like these and the lowing of labor value means that Colored women are minimally involved in our white women need organization. Women have come into industry to stay, and "women" means Colored as well as white. Their industrial problems are the same conditions they pay our same recreation. The adjustment of labor includes the Colored women. To meet her needs the Young Women's Christian Association has already established eight industrial centers. THE POWER OF PUBLIC OPINION Let us face the facts; if the Negro secures the adoption of his maximum program of progress, it will be when and because public opinion adopts it for him. If a city in the South or in the North is the Negro, and hopeful for the Negro, it is because the public opinion of that place demands it; if a State gives better protection to the Negro than heretofore, it is because the public opinion demands it; if mob rule is superseded by the reign of law, it will be when and because public opinion decreases it; if the highest privileges are given to the Negro, it will be when the public opinion of the nation decides that it must be so. Legislatures, Congress, municipal and public services, and public institutions of the public will, moving and as public opinion commands. The case of the American Negro, then, must be pleaded because the public opinion of the South, in the North, in the East, in the West. It must be pleaded, first of all, by the life of the Negro; by his patriotism; by his economic interests; by his public opinion; to American life; by circumspond conduct; by a patience which must, at last, put injustice and caste to shame. And then with these as the Negro, and with those as the public be pleaded by the written and oral word from his own race and from those of the white race who may be inclined to help him—pleased in the conscience and the intelligence of the American people.

Germany is always ready to change sides, to repudiate a pledge, and to betray a friend; but amid all her efforts, Germany has never many cannot actually rule Russia, and possess the vast potential riches of the Slab dominions, Germany in itself, and the people whoever they may be. Therefore it was first of all necessary to weaken Russia; and as no solvent more effectually destroys the national firepower of Germany, many inspired, encouraged and bribed the Bolshevist leaders in Russia. THE FOLLY OF WOMENS FASHIONS. And now more man is being blamed for fashion's follies. Men in general are responsible for the "contortions" which women undergo, in order to be able to wear clothes according to one of the speakers before the International Conference of Women Physicians in New York. Men like to have a "little, useless lily" about the doctor to fatter his contortions, thus luxury, this physician declared. Does shoe manufacturers are made partners to the great male conspiracy to encourage extravagance and folly in styles. They are blamed for high heels by which "the whole interior of the house are being thrown out of plum." Extravagant dress is what? Hear the words of the speaker: "It is democracy running riot. It is a class matter. There is an inherent snobishness in overdress. Women who wear fashions of old aristocratic Europe." Man is a long-suffering creature. He is patient enough to bear the responsibility for many of the incomprehensible things women do. Doubless he is to blame, either directly or indirectly for many of them. Others are not aware of passing remark, "Well, you know how women are." But to say that men in general are responsible for the follies of our present-day styles—for all of them—this is too much! A few men may lend encouragement to the idea of high heels, but the vast majority would like to see women wear such would foot apparel as at least would prevent the impeding of traffic and innumerable accidents, to say nothing of the matter from a health standpoint. A few men may take delight in wearing furs of, or if you please, tulle, in the hottest days of summer, and then for uncovered necks in mid-winter—a few perhaps, but not men in general. We believe that men in general are responsible for the "contortions" which women in general undergo. It we did believe it, we would not admit, it but straight away we would exert our will to be more careful in their culpability that not only would be undermining the health of their womenkind and rendering them more liable to accidents, but would be making them appear ever more ridiculous as the seasons —Nashville Tennesean. SOMETHING NEW IN MOTORS. The newest things in automobiles is found not in Detroit, as one might suspect, but in California, where a man has fashioned an automobile body from a section of a giant redwood tree, eleven feet in diameter and nineteen inches in height. This automobile out and contains tree compartments so that it surpasses in beauty and rivals in comfort the modern three-room apartments that our car will dwell," at fifty or sixty dollars per month. There is the bedroom, dining room and kitchenette, electrically lighted and equipped with all modern amenities, of a big motor truck, capable of "taking you there and bringing you back." The car is called the "Travel-Lok," a new happy name for the unique automobile that is to make the owner and his family independent not only of hotels when they travel, but yholly care free of the housing problem in so far as it relates to their immediate The question naturally arises as to the rights of the "Travel-Log" to squat on the public highways, to stroll in the lanta, where there are scant parking restrictions, this unique automobile might establish itself in our most exclusive residential section or on our streets, and even in one of our parks and there remain until the children of the household have grown to maturity. The designer of the "Travel-Log" must be a lawyer, lawmakers have not foreseen, but even so we suppose that our parking problem will remain dormant until the unique automobile comes from the city, and bring the issue squarely to a head. THE PURSUIT OF WAGES What do you think that most people think most about, the work that they do or the wages that they get for doing it? And are they more intent on doing good work or on getting high wages? I ask these questions because it seems to me that people—very many people—are nowadays so abused with the pursuit of wages that they give next to no thought to the work they do or to do for the wages that they receive. This unfortunate condition is true among workers of every degree and class. True of workers really hard pressed by the high cost of living, the worker whose pay amounts to thousands of dollars perhaps, hundreds of thousands, every hour. While the small wage earner goes to the desperate extreme of refusing at all unless his demands for an amount he pays him then the big wage earner strives with equal vigor to get his wages raised by cunning manipulation of the products and materials he happens to control. It is a hard contest, this pay struggle. The sad part of it is the more a man succeeds in this struggle the less contented he becomes. The more contented the nature of the life of man and the purposes of life. Those who forget their work in the hunt for wages are never satisfied. That is the penalty that they must pay. They are discontented, restless, nervous and grow worse and worse. Crime is abroad and the hospitals for the insane are becoming more and more crowded, the services of the insane afflictions are more and more in disarray. It is an age of stress and conflict! Many remedies are proposed. There can be only one real remedy. Poor must be brought to see that self forgets the need, necessary to real property and peace. So long as people do not see this, so long as their gaze is fixed on the reward and not on the deed, just misery prevail. The wage raising scheme be raised to the end of time without mending matters one bit! There is too much quarrelling about ways and means. There is too much scandal in sympathy! This is true in all classes of society. In the cottage and in the palace! the road to happiness is not paved with Contentment car come with abundances and the winning of the race. This needs upon the minds of this, cur generation. LAWYER A. S. WELLS ON THE RACE QUESTION Let the Facts Be Known. There seems to be a general disposition on the part of self-constituted Negro leaders to misrepresent and misinterpret the position of a representative representing the best thought among that race, abroad to the end that all the facts may be, known, and that no person for association of persons and that no person for association of persons must be misguided and mislead, we ask the publication of the following: Race Rlots. We challenge any man to point to one single instance where a race riot has been caused and occasioned by the use of a weapon. We are among those who scout the idea of Negroes inciting a race riot and we have every reason to believe that no race disturbance will ever be precipitated by Negroes in The Unrest. We admit that there was, some weeks ago, an unusual unrest among some of our people throughout the region, between the whites and blacks, and admit the fact, that there existed some apprehension among the white people on the seriousness of the relation between the whites and blacks, and admit the fact, that there were the direct result of race riots in actual progress in other sections of this Country, and the black man's fear that a riot would be precipitated by things caused unrest among our people. The unrest among the white people was caused by the alleged buying of arms by Negroes all over Tampa. This general unrest has passed and all good citizens feel relieved of the strain; we all feel that nothing of a serious nature will happen between the whites and black in state. Are We Satisfied. The Rev. L, L. Campbell of Austin, Ohio, has been an Orphanage, takes the position that the Negroes of Texas are perfectly consented and happy over their children in the In the first place, we desire to inform the public that this divine is in a large measure a, dependent source and the institution which he represents upon us, upon the voluntary contributions from the liberal element of the whites in this state for the sustenance and maintenance, and every aspect of his life, does, read between the lines. He may an herculean effort to capitalize his institution at the expense of the race by giving the whites the wrong impression as to to, the attitude of the Negroes, and he speaks for the whole race and alleles that the Negroes are absolutely satisfied with their present condition. This expose and dictum is calculated to, and will doubtless be used to, the primafacile evidence with many white people that Mr. Campbell is a good Negro; that he is the logical leader of the race; that he giving his people wholesome advice and therefore, contributes for his orphanage. We submit, however, that the white people who are broad, liberal and who stand for a square deal, know that no Negro can be satisfied with condition as they now exist, and they have information that we cannot obtain. We know that we can devilable source. They know that we are taxed without representation; they know that all of the discriminatory laws upon the statutes books are not enforced; they know that most favorably to the whites; there are firmest and open violations of the jim-crow laws every day by the whites with impunity and they will not be prosecuted for the offense. In many cities in Texas, we park tax, public library tax and yet we are denied all the park privileges we deserve from a book from the public libraries. We remember upon one occasion that he Negro Welfare Board desired the use of a book upon the subject of the book and at although we were public library town, yet we were compelled to borrow the book needed from the public library of Kansas City, Mo. Can the intelligent Negro be satisfied when we are not contented and happy under such environments, or will think not. We believe that all white persons of intelligence know that we are not contented and happy under such environments, or will think not. We believe that many of the white and the press, fully realize, that when the of the Negro race makes such declaration of general satisfaction on our part, that there are some utterior motive prompting us to believe in counselling our people along the proper channel and that we say to them: "Oobey the law and for all the wrongs perpetrated in the Courts of the Country." In all matters respecting our general welfare where there is no remedy at law, we say, "let us uncontent ourselves with the public sentiment in our behalf, and the time will not be far-removed when law to cure those ills will be upon the statutes of this State." We must remember that the matter of relationships. It is too grave; it is too vital to our peace, prosperity and happiness to have one group of our citizens believe in the facts point to the contrary. No North—No South. During the late war we were told that there was no North. no South; that sectionalism was forever obliterated that they were united nation that the slogan should be "America for Democracy." Our boys fought in the late con- (Continued on page 6). DALLAS, "LONDON," LOCAL HAPPENINGS Dr. P. M.

Churches CITY TEACHERS HOLD MONTHLY INSTITUTE MONDAY MORNING AT COLORED HIGH SCHOOL FOR INSTRUCTION FOR BEGINNING THE SESSION. Three Colored Communities Enter the City, Queen City, Lineoln Manor and Wheatly Place, Arnestrong Addition Known as Booker Washington. These are serious times and serious problems confront us as teachers of the young, this is a time of serious reflection, never was there to be a problem, but than today, it it seems that a new and added duty rests upon the teachers white and black to think seriously upon the work in hand. We are confronting the American people, the problem of the railroads, the problem of labor and capital and that of the Negro problem. These are problems to be sure that engage the attention of the students and demand the most earnest consideration. There was never a time when the saying of Solomon, the wise man, "That Righteousness Exalthea a Nation" is more true old fashionable man believe the saying of the wise man to believe the saying of the true that wickedness debases a nation. When we think of the striking police of Boston, we are not surprised so much by the strike as to what actually occurred after the strike. That Boston has always set up a police force to proclaimed to them her own examples as she was in position to do so as she had rare advantages for years of training coming down from the time of the Pilgrim fathers, to the time of the war to be in position to speak of the other cities. But what actually transpired in Boston? After the strike, it is difficult to think of the shameful acts. Men set about looting and robbing. They played on the street made savaged by the first blood of the lionatory War for freedom. Now that can have been with drawn, they the police badge and the police can to take what they call freedom, and the most revolting thought in the minds of the men who put their what they put in insults women and children and that it was dangerous for a woman to pass unaccompanied for the streets for fear of being molested and insulted. Who would have thought that characters were in Boston, the very cradle of refinement and culture? These were not the original citizens of Boston, these were not of the Puritan stock, they are the new comers, those who were strangers to the teaching of the Pilgrim Fathers, their work? What would I recommend were I the Superintendent of the schools of Boston? But we have a work to ourselves. We are to teach civic righteousness in our own hands to express the boys and girls with love, to express the boys and girls right ideals of honesty, of industrious and truthfulness by living these lives ourselves. Such a disgraceful and unheard of actions would not have taken a hundred years ago. So there is much work for the teachers of Boston. The address was listened to with closest attention and evident appreciation coming from our Superintendents with added interest and empathy to the teachers to begin the work work with added zeal and new inspiration. While the speaker was delivering his address of which the above is only a paraphrase report, the superintendent great work that Supt. Kimbail had accomplished in our schools and what a scope of advancement had really taken place in the efficiency of the teachers, the steady improvements of the great work, and with what ease and facility, the superintendent went onward without seeming friction and without undue complaint. Superintendent Kimbail stated that the Intermediate departments of the schools would be supervised by Prof. J. P. Kimbail, and would be added improvement in working of the schools this year, with of all creeds, lodges of all fraternities, organizations for all forward movements will participate. You have never seen anything like this. Be ready for the day and come without fail. You are on program. books furnished by the state and the improvements in the buildings and grounds, there needs be no lag in the work. That where the state fails to furnish text books for the high schools the city of Dallas would furnish text books for the high schools the City of Dallas would furnish Presidents Towns, Brittian and Principals, and appointed a committee to select a larger auditorium for next meeting for the institute.

He is a man of iron and flint, outwardly. In reality he is tender and affectionate, the secret of his character never being guessed by his minor friends who see in him only an upright pal.

She the middleger minor marries her and when he comes to come out of it does, he is willing to sacrifice himself and leave her to herself. Rex Rech declares that such magnanimity is not uncommon in the North. Respect for a woman, if she is not a middleger, comes out of instance.

GUTHRIB & WATKINS, Dentists 1513 1-2 Main Street Over Central State Bank Secretary of National Baptist Publishing Board Presents Encouraging Report at Norfolk. Norfolk, Ma. Sept. 12—(Recipient bromil with a report bromil full of facts and figures that were appealing, pleasing and commending, the Rev. R. H. Boyd, was heard before the National Baptist Conference and second annual report on the work of the National Baptist Publishing Board and its plant located at Nashville, Tenn., occupied the center of the stage when it was read. It is in payment of $200,000.00 had passed through the institution during the past year which closed August 31st. The business department alone representing the management can be turned out from a postal card to a cyclopedia, or from a calling card to a Bible, hand handed $185,000.00, an increase of more than $100,000.00 any previous year of 40 existences. When Dr. Boyd was introduced by the Rev. C. H. Clark, D. D., the chairman of the Board, who had served in the capacity for twenty-three years, a deaf applause greeted him from every section of the United States at this annual convention. The increase in the circulation of Sunday School literature, the increase in the production of religious tracts and methods, the improved periodicals and the new periodicals and improved paraphenalia for prosecuting the work were given much attention in Dr. Boyd's report and address. No attempt was made to read the entire report in a pamphlet form among the representatives, but it was emphasized during the remarks that not played by the Board itself in the withstanding the prominent part but putting their part towards winning the war, having fourteen million soldiers, and meeting every condition such as shortage of labor, high price of material and the increase in the cost of labor 'to the entire satisfaction of all. Dr. Boyd showed that a news press, one of the lated designs, a pamphlet, a book, a pledge of turning out had only recently been installed at an the newspaper publications with more rapidity. The invoked value of the plant was shown to be more than $350,000,000, those on the pay roll number 151, while the invoked value of the plant for the past fiscal year aggregated $400,00 per day. "Our whole desire has been to promote better religious literature from a Baptist point of view and to keep steadily employed Negro men and women who are not able to find similar employment in institutions operative in the community. We only want an open door to opportunity and a better regulated commercial enterprise for the rising generation. I am willing to give the remainder of my years for the service of my people," declared the venerable secretary, who is now entering his office. "He had finished a number of address-plmenting his work were made by the leaders of his denomination. N. A. A. C. URGES CONGRESS TO TAKE ACTION. N. A. A. C. URGES CONGRESS TO TAKE ACTION.

America has got to stop this much justice or mob law will throw us behind the lawmaker. It is only lynch law as applied to the Negro, but lynch law as applied to reputations and principles of right that threaten to undermine our country. It is the painful of the wickedness of lawlessness applied to the Negro criminal many men are turning to the same danger menacing in other ways. It is blind hatred born of bitter experience that all men, irrespective of the moral or economic opinions, have fair trials when charged with offenses.

President Jernigan and Bishop Ross Extend Welcome in Name of IB- 000,000 Negro Americans — United States Protectorate Wanted for Gender, Race, and Education Special to The Express; Washington, D. C., Sept. 11, —Wednesday afternoon a delegation representing the National Race Congress of America was cordially received by the apostle by President-Elect C. D. B. Kirkpatrick of Liberta, who is here on a special government mission and for observation and recuperation, following a long period of diplomatic service in the visiting party with the Race Conference. W. H. Jernigan, president of the National Race Congress; Bishop I. N. Ross of the A. M. E. church; Rev. J. Milton Waldron, Rev. H. J. Callis, Brooks, Rev. A. W. Taylor, Pro- John R. Hawkins, executive secretary of the Emergency Defense Fund of the Congress; Rev. J. H. Randolph, Rev. J. L. S. Holmley, J. Finley Brooks, R. W. Thompson. Each was introduced to Mr. King by Dr. Jernigan. An address welcoming the President-Elect to this country in the name of the National Race Congress on America and on behalf of the 12th Canadian Republic, was delivered by Bishop Ross, who was followed in glorious vein by Dr. Waldrom, Dr. Brooks, Dr. Callis and Prof. Hawkins. They pointed to the Colored people of the land to an audience might be devised, looking to the uplift and development of their "Sister Republic" in far-off Africa, regarding Liberia as the "open door" may enter the inner life of the "Sister Continent" and bring the leaven of a higher civilization. They were proud or Liberia's wonderful progress on a recognized government, country because of its oneness with country in blood, reil'r and "nausea." President-Elect King, of pleasing personality and modest dignity, rebounded seriously and thanked the nation for its support. May the patriotic interest. He was gratified to note that all America seemed to be awakening to the vast possibilities bound up in the future of Liberia. This new and forward-looking country, keenly alive to the value of every type of education and equipment, extends a welcome to enterprising young men who possess qualities for leadership and to others who are masters of the technical and scientific arts. Following the speaking the entire party was photographed on the hotel laver, N. Searock. President Elect King has resolved at the White House and the State Department and has been highly honored by many representative Colored citizens here. He will be one of the principal speakers at the "Suffrage Session" of the National Race Congress, which will open in this city October 7th, with delegates from every State in the Union and with commission to voice the sentiments of the Negro people of every land. Anderson Protodeo Wanted for American Protectorate Wanted for German-African Colonies President Jernigan of the Congress recently appeared before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and made a most eloquent and effective plea for justice for all the darker peoples of the world and emphasized the importance of having an American protectorate established over the territory of the German Empire. His speech was a "keynote." This and other problems of vital concern to the Negro will be fully discussed at the coming meeting of the National Race Congress of America, set for October 7th to 11th, at the Metropolitan Baptist Church. Liberation sources are being received from many sources for the $260,000 Emergency Defense Fund, in charge of Prof. John R. Hawkins, designed wherever such protection is urgently to protect the welfare of the race needed. DALLAS STUDENTS OFF TO COLLEGE.

TO GROW LONG STRAIGHT HAIR. You Need a Real Scalp Food. You probably have tried all sorts of remedies on your scalp without getting the desired results, until you have become discouraged and lost confidence in all hair remedies. Thousands of others, like yourself, finally have been so pleased with the result, they would never again waste their time or money using anything else. Quinade is not an ordinary pomade; it is highly medicated and is a real scalp food. Quinade stimulates and makes the scalp feel warm and soft, having a natural growth of long, straight hair. It will make coarse, stubborn hair soft and silky and easy to put up in the style desired. Quinade will positively allay itching of the scalp; and dandruff, which is the real cause of the scalp, will be more useful to you. To get best results from the use of Quinade, one should shampoo the scalp every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasap, a soap made entirely of pure vegetable oils. Quinasap lathers very freely and is a thorough clean-up for the scalp. Free is the best of the stuffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequivaled by any other shampoo. Insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Quinasasp, asking for them by their name, the price is 16 cents each. If your druggist or dealer loses not stack these two articles ask him to obtain them from his wholesailor for you, or send us the price and we will mail them to you direct.
