The Dallas Express GEORGIA WHITES WILL REPLACE PROPERTY DESTROYED BY MOB Negroes to Furnish Labor Only. The Most Remarkable in History of The South Founded by W. E. King. VOL. 27, NO. 2. GEORGIA WHI REPLACE DESTR Negroes to Furnis Most Remarkal The South Cordele, Ga., Oct. 16.—A remarkable proceeding on the part of the white citizens of this took place a short while ago, when a mass meeting was held to consider the restoring of the Negro church buildings, which were destroyed by the mob several weeks ago. A committee was appointed to investigate the damage done and to report the amount to be raised to make good this destruction. This committee reported as follows: "Pursuant to and in connection with a mass meeting held at the Court House some weeks ago concerning the burning of Negro churches in the county, a number of white and Colored citizens met at the site of one of these churches Thursday and made an investigation of the number of churches destroyed and the cost of rebuilding them. It developed at this meeting that there were three churches destroyed. A careful estimate of the amount necessary for material only was placed at $2,500 for the three. It being though that if the white people provided the material that the Negroes would do all the building. Those present, both white and Colored, agreed that this would be a just and agreeable division of the burden. "To the end of raising this fund it was arranged to put on a one-day campaign both in the communities of NEGRO WANTED TO WORK SHOT PICKET WHO TRIED TO STOP HIM. BY ASSONA Harbor, Ind., Oct. 16.—Rioting broke out at the Portland Portland Cement Plant tonight and a union picket was shot by one of two armed Negroes, who, with nearly twenty-five other Negroes, attempted to return to work. Several shots were fired by the two Negroes who were arrested and placed in jail. Threats wered made that the pair might be taken from jail by force. The other Negroes were chased into the woods by nearly 300 strikers. Indiana Harbors' industries had been closed since the strike was called until today, when the Inland Steel Company, one of the larger independent steel plants in the Chicago district, the Mark Kirkwater Company and the Universal Portland Cement Company plant reused operations. Sheriff Lew Barnes assigned 300 new deputies to duty today, but until to night there was only muttering to indicate trouble. The strikers, however, increased their force of six pickets to about $3,000, who were on duty when twenty-five or thirty Negroes appeared at the cement plant. Sam Blair and Clyde Bracken, Negroes, had knives, the police say, and the union pickets attempted to disarm them. Then both Negroes drew revolvers and fired a number of shots. Kizmir Kirkner, a picket, was wounded in the thigh. Blair and Barnes put under arrest, their companions died before the strikers, who pursued them into the woods surrounding the factory and they were said to be hiding in the timber. When threats were heard against the Negro prisoners the police increased the guard about the Police station. The Republican Party Is The Ship, All Else Is The Sea."—Fred Douglas.

To this end committees were appointed to work, both in the county and city, and it is confidently thought that these committees will meet with the same degree of success that has always characterized our splendid citizenship. “There is no more worthy or morlorous cause that we could engage in than assisting to restore the Colored church buildings so wantonly destroyed. In no section of our country is the Colored race more peaceable, law-abiding and industrious than any country and we did not recognize in this attitude some degree of consideration for their welfare. “Another thing which we should recognize and appreciate is the fact that notwithstanding the great labor unrest over the country and the agitation to excite labor, our Colored race in this country has remained free from these influences—at the same time the Colored race constitutes practically all our labor. It is felt that no trouble will be raised the money next Thursday in rebuilding the burned churches. So far no one has been found guilty of burning these churches, although a large reward was and is still offered.” COL. CHAS. YOUNG SAYS "USE VOTES" SAYS AMERICAN LEGIONS SHOULD BE FORMED BY BLACK MEN (By Associated Negro Press) Providence, R. L, Oct. 16—Col. Chas. Young, U. S. A., the highest ranking officer of his race in this country, who was retired during the world war, but reassigned to active duty, and had charge of Camp Grant, with 8,000 men, and 120 combers, interest- ingly talked to 600 Colored people last evening in Trinity Church auditorium, Broad street, counselling patience, moderation, co-operation and Race unity. The Colonel, who is a graduate of West Point, has represented his country at home and abroad, spent four years in Africa and absorbed much information, at first hand, about the Negroes of the world. He declared that the Negro has a glorious history, and is not a child race, but was civilized before coming to America in slave ships 300 years ago. He made no direct reference to the Omaha rioting, nor any other racial troubles in this country in his address at the auditorium but did say that law has been laid low and decency is dead in some places in this country, and that it behooves every American citizen, however well he may know how to throw bombs, train cannon, pull triggers, to exhaust every possible peaceful expedient heere restoring to violence. He told the audience, especially the returned service men of whom, there were more than a score present, that they had the American Legion through which to fight their battles for fair play and justice, and ought to join it, even in separate posts, which he preferred, as while "white people know many things Colored people (Continued on page 13). A. M.E. BISHOPS SEND PROTEST TO CONGRESS SAY NEGROES DO NOT WANT HALF FREEDOM. ASK FOR INVESTIGATION IN REGENT RIOTS (By Associated Negro Press) New York, Oct., 16.—Signs of the times are discernible in a memorial which has been sent to Congress by six Negro bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Petitioners in the press have argued into the recent race riots in Washington, Chicago and Knoxville, the bishops warned Congress that the temper of the Negro of today is not what it was a half a century or a score of years ago and that "death is preferable to a state half way between slavery and freedom." In their memorial the bishops to illustrate their warning, quote a poem which is deemed to significant in view of the frequent assertions that have been made concerning the circulation of Bolshevist and other radical propaganda among Negroes. The poem, printed in the September issue of a magazine published by Negroes in this city, is titled, "If We Must Die" and reads as follows: "If We must die let it not be like hogs hunted and penned in an unglorious spot while round us bark the mad hungry dogs, making their mock at our accursed lot. If we must die, oh, let us nobby die, So that our precious blood may not be shed in vain; Then even the monsters we defy shall be constrained to honor us, though dead, oh, Kinsmen we must meet the common foe, though far outnumbered, let us still be brave, and for their thousand blows deal one death blow what though before us lies the open grave like men we'll face the murderous, cowardly pack pressed to the wall, dring, but fighting back." These bishops together with three lay officials of the church comprise the commission on After War Prob- (Continued on page 13). WOMEN ORGANIZE VOTERS LEAGUE NEGRO WOMEN TO ENTER FOLI.I S IN FULL FORCE Houston, Texas, Oct. 16.—Mrs. E. B. Jackson-Hurd, secretary of Republican Women Voters' League of Texas, which was organized in Houston, Texas, Aug., 1918, and who enjoys the distinction of having been the first woman of her race in Texas, to have been appointed Notary Public by a Governor of Texas, issues the following statement in support of the payment of the Poll Tax by both women and men. The Legislature of Texas has wisely given to women the right of franchise in the State. A District Judge in Waco, Texas, has recently refused to disturb this Legislature Act. There is much that can be said in favor of Woman Suffrage and against Woman Suffrage. Personally, I believe the greater weight of argument to be in favor of Woman Suffrage. Whatever may be said, it is a fact that plain law of Texas is that women shall have the right to vote in all primary elections and conventions alike and equal to men. Keeping a law is the best way to have a law enforced. The law requires each woman and man to appear before the State and County Tax Collector and pay for a Poll Tax receipt or secure an examination certificate. This must be done. (Continued on pare 12.) ARKANSAS TOWNS QUIET AFTER DAYS OF RIOTING FEDERAL TROOPS NOT TO BE WITHDRAWN Alleged Plot to be Fully Investigated Claims Negroes Banded Against The Whites AN EXPLANATION TO OUR READERS AND ADVERTISERS 3. We do not intend to omit a single advertisement now running in THE DALLAS EXPRESS even though the size of the paper is reduced to the extent that we shall be compelled to print 50 pages instead of 12 our present number. IF WE CAN COUNT ON YOUR CO-OPERATION (By Associated Negro Press) Elaine, Ark., Oct. 16.—This little town is breathing easier than at any time since race disturbances of a serious nature began without warning. The relieved feeling was due largely to the fact that all reports from districts where federal soldiers and civilian officers were on duty continued to be of a reassuring nature. Generally the people here believed the worst of the trouble was over. However, officials were emphatic in their assertions that there would be no relaxation of emergency measures, and civilian officers indicated that the 500 soldiers sent to the camp Pike would be withdrawn soon. The authorities expected to obtain additional information regarding the alleged banding of Negroes in this locality thru further questioning today or Ed Hicks, said to have been one of the ringleaders of the Negro organization known as "The Progressive Farmer's and Household Union of America, the Negro Business League. Hicks, who is under arrest, is said to have admitted he was president of the organization. Other Negroes in custody are said to have declared that Ed Baker, another Negro under arrest, was secretary. Through the organization, officials say, the eNegros in this locality were banded together for an uprising. Among the papers brought in by patrols is a printed copy of what purports to be "the United States AN EXPLANATION TO READERS AND ADVER —WHATS wrong with —NOTHING!

The object of the "Union" as stated in the pamphlet, shall be to advance the interests of the Negro intellectually, and to make him a better citizen and a better farmer. The constitution authorizes "passwords, door words, grips and signs," to be changed every three months, and provides for a fine and expulsion for disclosing the secrets. Any excluded member was not to be allowed to rejoin "within ninety-nine year." The Negro in custody, when asked by officers as to the extent of the organization's membership, said he was certain there was 2500 and probably 5000. Army officers estimated today that the number of Negroes that had passed through their hand exceeded 800, about 150 still being in custody, the others having released on giving evidence of good character. Among those detained are four women. Army officers planned to resume their search for hidden fire arms, of which large quantity has been seized from Negroes whose homes have been searched. The number of Negroes known to have been killed by soldiers and posse-men stood at fourteen, but officials believe the total number of dead might be double that. White casualties known are five dead and six wounded. TO OUR ADVERTISERS with THE DALLAS EXPRESS? PAGE TWO DALLAS LOCAL Prof. J. H. Stewart of Austin, Sov.

From 1901 to 1918 inclusive, a total of 285,910,728 barrels was produced, mounting from 10,000 barrels in the first year to over 62,000,000 in the latter. The republic of Mexico now ranks second in the production of petroleum of the world, writes C. W. Hamilton, president of the American Chamber of Commerce of Tampico. Undoubtedly, the future of the Mexican oil fields holds great promise Many new companies are starting operations in various parts of the country along the Gulf Coast, and with the completion of the pipe lines and terminals now in construction, it is safe to assume that Mexico will produce and export more than 80,000,000 barrels of oil in 1919.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1919 TEXAS REPUBLICANS BAR NE- GROES. In last. weeks issue we published a statement from the Executive Committee of the Republican Council of Texas which stated in part : "Texas is a white man's country and government must rest exclusively in the hands of the Caucasian race. The Council is composed of white republicans and they will dictate the policies of the party. We invite all law-abiding citizens who accept the above principles of government to vote the ticket but the policies of the Republican party of Texas are now in the hands of white men and are going to remain there. "The Republican party has in times past been permitted by Negroes being allowed to attend conventions as pawns of white politicians who were seeking office or power within the party. For the past thirty years the progress of the party has been retarded and its development dwaried by black and tan politicians participating in and attempting to dominate its affairs. "This Country must be governed by white Americans who are in sympathy with American traditions and institutions." This statement is both surprising and dissappointing to many leaders in politics among us for they had begun to plan for a political massing of black businessmen among segregated which would have compelled them chosen by them to "go over the top." We feel however that since every man is allowed to choose his associates political and otherwise, and since the White Republicans of Texas have chosen to discard and refuse the votes of Negro Republicans and have told them so in such unmistakable terms, it would show less than the manhood and racial pride which resides in the soul of every black man in the United States, to affiliate himself with the Republican Council in Texas. Be too proud to beg in where you are not wanted. There are about 200,000 Negroes of voting age in Texas. Let us suggest that plans be made by which they may all become holders of poll tax receipts, then from all present indications it will be possible to make in Texas a political organization which will ally itself only with those who can realize that its cooperation is essential to their success. There are prohibitionists, socialists and others who could appreciate 200,000 votes. We call your attention to an article published in this paper last, week which declared that the anti-saloon league has decided to cultivate the sentiment among Negroes and is planning to spend a great part of its yearly budget in that direction. It may be that we have blinded ourselves to our own interests in former years by blindly allying ourselves to the Republican party right or wrong, for us or against it. We organize and educate our voters and make of ourselves an organization not likely to be cast aside. In these critical times, saving is serving. Silk shirts may look well blowing in the breeze, but they do not be speak the good judgment of the wearer. usually from his appearance we are given to fell either that it is his only shirt or that he is trying to impress upon us his opulence.

It is a difficult matter for a race to acquire culture where the struggle for existence occupies the whole of its time.

The part that Negro labor has played in the transformation of the American wilderness into productive fields and matchless plantations will ever stand as a monument to its efficiency. When it is remembered that for 250 years this labor was performed without the incentive of renumeration, its efficiency becomes really appalling. This work, together with the hardships and heritage which slavery entailed, was the price the Negro paid for his rights and privileges as American citizens. It must be conceded that it was a dear price. The Negro, however grumbled not at the price paid. He has witnessed above 29,000,000 foreigners receive these same rights and privileges for the paltry consideration of having crossed the Atlantic ocean and declared their intentions of becoming American citizens. The Negro has stood uncomplainingly by and seen these same foreigners presented with keys that unlocked every American institution from the coal mines to the White House, while he himself remained an alien in the land of his birth. We say an alien in the land of his birth because the Negro has never received that which he so dearly purchased, the rights and privileges of an American citizen. It is true that an abbreviated form of this, most coveted treasure was delivered to him by accumulative effects of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution, yea when he attempted to use his newly acquired property he found himself hemmed round about by his former masters who deterred him by means over which he had no control. When reconstruction was fully completed the Negro began to be despoiled of his newly acquired rights, and privileges, one by one, until today he stands without a peer the most unprotected class of people in America. These facts can be attested by current history. Judge Lynch has held open court. In the largest and most progressive cities mob violence has terrorized his life and threatened to ostracise him from all renumerative employment. In fact the Negro seems to be suffering from a serious attack of social pressure. In order to make this attack effective every law guaranteeing protection to law abiding citizens has been violated. Local authorities have been unable to cope with the situation. Federal authorities have taken no hand other than to restore order. No immediate relief from this social pressure is in sight. The chief obstacle that lies in the way of relieving the tense situation is the apparent impossibility of bringing the better element of the two races together. Each race appears to be suspicious of the others' good intentions. The whites fear a Negro uprising as events in Arkansas fully demonstrate. The blacks feel keenly the heel of oppression following so closely upon the supreme sacrifice made by them in establishing democracy for the world in the late great war. Indeed these race troubles are most unfortunate at this time when the Negro hand been led to expect so much from democracy being made safe for the world. These same twenty-nine million foreigners who have immigrated to our shores are the ones responsible largely for the American labor troubles. They have received every privilege in the gift of American institutions yet they seek to undermine the property of the country. Had America treated the Negro as she did the foreigner she would have had a large conservative element to support the native Americans against those hyphenated peoples who threaten the very existence of organized society. America may yet find that the Negro is essential to her safety. The great mistake America has made lies in the fact that she has not delivered to the Negro all the rights and privileges, for which he has so dearly paid, while she has gratuitously delivered the same to such enormous hordes of ungrateful foreigners. In fact she has assimilated these foreigners at such a rate as to endanger American institutions. America is no longer America for the Americans. There is every evidence to show that in this, America has made the mistake of her life. May she recover and at the same time be ever mindful of her neglected duty to her deserving loyal Black Amer- THE MAYOR OF OMAHA. all the history of America there has been no more disgraceful or written than that which will be written as a result of the loss of some of its citizens in Omaha a few days ago.

In all the history of America there has been no more disgraceful chronicle ever written than that which will be written as a result of the lawlessness of some of its citizens in Omaha a few days ago. We need not discuss its horror. We know that well enough because such things are becoming every day occurrences now. We do feel that no tribute that tongue or pen could pay could ever nearly be made adequate in commendation of the action of that real man, the Mayor, who felt and carried out as far as his strength was able, his duty as a public servant. Ten millions of people who scarcely ever know the helping hand of frank, open, publicly demonstrated friendship and justice have been made to feel by this man, almost a martyr because of his performance of duty, that there is a sense of justice and fairness left in those who govern and that there are some who dare to live and are willing even to die by their determination that law and justice must prevail. We honor his action. May God hasten the day when men generally realize that a sense of duty done is better than all personal gain or safety at the expense of justice. We fully agree with Summer when he says: "I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgement, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends. --- THE MIRROR OF PUBLIC OPINION SOME MEN ARE SPEAKING OUT.

May the lesson of Sunday night sink deep!" There is a great deal said about attracting sturdy Western people to the untenanted acres of the South; but we defeat our own purposes when we sanction contempt of law and resorts to violence. The eWestern people have quite a different idea of what is good citizenship and they seriously doubt the wisdom of settling in a land where the laws are flouted and no one is brought to punishment for so doing. They can not understand that life and property as a general thing, are as safe with us as in any other part of the country. They judge by what they read in the papers adn, so judging, decline the proposals to move into the South. Thus it is that lynching does us incalculable harm on the economic side. It hurts also since it is interpreted as the evidence of a low state of civilization. The few who are lawless have the power to cast discredit upon the whole Southern people. The way to escape is through the creation and establishment of sound public opinion. The thing is possible; as we see exemplified in Virginia. Let self-respecting people speak out against this form of crime; let grand juries indict and the courts try and convict the law-breakers, no longer making excuses, but recognizing that lynching is an unmitigated evil and must be blotted out. —Journal, Montgomery Ala.

It is needless to emphasize the interest which a Presidential campaign creates as a stimulus for Poll Tax payment. I prefer to invite the attention of my readers to the educational side of the payment of the Poll Tax. Many representations are daily being made as to crowded school conditions, scarcity of teachers, poorly paid teachers, inadequate facility facilities, and many other phases of our public school system the lack of which and impede the greatest progress and educational development of the voting citizens of tomorrow. When it is considered that one dollar out of the payment of poll tax goes to the cause of public education, this is itself sufficient to invite a willing compliance with the law on this subject.

OCTOBER 18. 1919. 250,000 JEWS SERVED IN AMERICAN FORCES. New York, Oct., 16.—The part played by Jews in the world war forms a thrilling chapter in the victory attained by the allied nations, according to data gathered by Jewish organizations all over the world. The United States, France, Great Britain and the other allies contributed hosts of soldiers of Jewish faith, many of whom were elevated to high rank in the army or navy and many, because of self-sacrifice and devotion to duty, were rewarded with the highest honors within the gift of the nations. A survey of the contribution of the American Jews to the winning of the war is not completed, as all war records have not been compiled. Julian Leavitt, director of the office of War Records of the American Jewish Committee, states that the rebellion that the Jews fought in the military and naval forces of the United States, and he assumes that on the basis of certain calculations the total number of American Jews in the war will be found to reach about 250,000. In Great Brittain, the Jews who were in active service before conscription came into force amounted to about 10,000, of whom 1140 were officers. In Australia, out of a total population of 19,000, there were 1000 enlistments and 250 deaths in action. Records show that more than 50,000 Jews of Great Brittain were in the various branches of service during the war. Casualties amounted to nearly 9,000. Five Jews were the recipients of the Victoria Cross. Two men whose work as leaders from the other branch of the war effort for them the rank of general and numerous other distinctions were Gen. Sir, Monah and Gen. H. J. Seligman. In all naval battles British Jews took a prominent part. Special Jewish units contributed to the success of Allenby in his conquest at Palestine. Cotton Prices Supposed Caused Of Arkansas Riots The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People., 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, makes public the following letter from a correspondent near the scene of the race riots in Arkansas, showing cotton prices, not Negro insurrection, as the cause of the trouble. The correspondent, whose standing the Association vouches for, writes: "The whole trouble, as I understand it, started because a Mr. Bratton, a white lawyer from Little Rock, Arkansas, was employed by sixty or seventy Colored families to go to the house and present them in a dispute with the white planters relative to the sale price of cotton. That rumor is that the planters had organized to settle the tenants for their cotton on a twenty-five cent basis, when in turn the planters would sell it for much more. Quite naturally the tenants objected to this and employed Mr. Bratton to represent them. A full statement by Mr. Bratton appears in some of the clippings I have sent. "This 'Federated Union of America' is camouflage. The real issue was the dispute over the price of cotton between the tenants and planters. The propaganda published in the newspapers of the day kill all white people and take their farms away from them" is too ridiculous to be given any thought." The clipping referred to is from the Memphis, Tenn., Commercial Appeal, of Friday morning, October 3. According to U. S. Bratton, father of the attorney accused of "inciting" the Negroes, therein quoted, his clients "claimed that it had been impossible for them to obtain itemized statements of accounts or in fact to obtain statements at all, and that the manager was preparing to ship their cotton, they being share croppers and having half interest therein, off without settling, with them or allowing them to sell their half of the crop and pay up their accounts. As we were informed, there were some 65 or 70 of these share croppers who desired us to represent them. If it's a crime to represent people in an effort to make honest settlements, then he has committed a crime. If this is a crime in a country where we have been spending our money and the lives of our boys to make the country safe for democracy, we do not understand what the word means. (By Associated Negro Press) St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 16.—The proposed importation to St. Paul of 1,500 Negro workmen at the new Armour plant has resulted in the appointment of a committee by the St. Paul Association housing workers to consider the problem. The fact that one of the strong underlying causes of the recent race riots in Chicago was due to no small extent to the housing situation has prompted the action of taking up the question here in advance. Negro citizens in St. Paul are taking a strong interest in the satisfactory arrangements of housing the large increase in the Negro population. D. W. Alberts, member of the housing committee of the St. Paul Association, has taken up the work. Battles When Collection Does Not Suit Him (By Associated Negro Press) (By Associated Negro Press) Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 16. "Reverend" Pomp Johnson, an Ethiopian evangelist of considerable renown in Atlanta and vicinity, landed in the police station following a most distressing incident attending the conclusion of his revival at the "Church of God and Saints of Christ" out on Evans street. eWaring his long-tailed coat and impreensive white vest, he was escorted to headquarters by officers who had been called to the scene by the outraged pastor of the flit. It appears that the "Reverend" Pomp has been conducting the revival for sometime, bringing it ta close, last Sunday with the understanding that the congregation should gather again Saturday morning at 11 o'clock to take up a collection for the benefit of the evangelist. This trifling formality had been omitted during the course of the revival. At the appointed hour the congregation assembled and the financial situation was thoroughly canvassed, with the result that in the opinion of the "Reverend" Pomp, a very modest and inadequate sum was forthcoming. At this juncture in the proceedings, it is charged the evangelist a militant disposition and, producing a knife and a heavy walking stick, announced that he felt constrained to administer corporal punishment to the parsimonious church members. Rev. Samuel Gains, pastor of the church, fearing more serious complications slipped out and telephoned for the police, who hurried to the scene and removed the obstreperous evangelist. Wealthy Negro Killed One Doctor And Dintist, Brothers, Lose Lives In Race War Drs. L. H. Johnson, prominent physician of Oklahoma, and D. A. E. Johnson, leading dentist of Helena, and Allen and LeRoy Johnson, who saw overseas service, were all killed, near Helena, Thursday, October 2, while under arrest, as the result of the recent trouble between Colored and white at Elaine and Hoop Spur, Ark. The Johnsons were one of the most prominent families of the state and owned considerable property in Pine Bluff, their native city, in and around Helena, Ark., also in Oklahoma and Chicago. Miner Johnson, their aged mother, arrived in Memphis, Thursday, from visiting friends at Somerville, Tenn. She left early this evening for Pine Bluff to make funeral arrangements for the burial of her four sons there Sunday. Press reports show that several hundred Negro men and women have been arrested. Ten whites killed and wounded and eleven Negroes killed. It is also reported that the governa- ment is now quieting down, but things are now quieting down. NEW YORK 15TH TO ERECT MONUME T (By Associated Negro Press) New York, N. Y., Oct. 16.—The surviving members of the old Fifteenth New York Infantry, the Negro regiment, which was organized just when the great war threatened and which went into the federal just when the great war threatened and which went into the Federal service as the 369th Infantry, are being canvassed for funds to erect a $50,000 monument in this city to the dead of the regiment. Former eSrgent Major Francis S. Marshall of Brooklyn, is in charge of the campaign. He said that the Memorial Committee was particularly anxious that the entire sum should be raised from Colored' people, members of the regiment, their relatives, friends and admirers, "It would be comparatively easy," he said, "to get wealthy friends of the officers of the regiment and of the Colored race to make up the amount of the fund. But that isn't what we would like to have our own people let happen." LAYMEN, NOT LAWYERS, SHOULD REFORM COURTS, IT IS SAID. Ivanhoe, Texas, Oct. 16.—In the great battle for court reform in Texas and in the country at large. The News bears a record of digittised service. For a period extending over many years it has been found at the front in all matters carrying the promise of shorter, more certain and less expensive approaches to the goal of justice. If defeat has been the constant reward of its efforts, it has none the less played its part in the education of a citizenship that is certain to make its influence felt in the future—felt, perhaps, to a degree of thoroughness which unopposed effort sometimes fails to reach. Does The News, in reviewing editorially, the rioting at Omaha, keep clearly in mind its battle-scarred record in the service of court reform? You conclude the Tuesday's editorial with the following sentence: "Law retains the loyalty of an overwhelming majority, and the task of re-enforcing that loyalty is the task of enkering its champions out of their charge and making them militant." Law undoubtedly retains the loyalty of the overwhelming majority. But to be loyal is not necessarily to be blind to the need of improvements, and the extent to which militancy may be expected to contribute to enthrancement is likely to be measured by the manner in which the militants proceed. The reports from Omaha state that the Mayor's law firm is at present defending two Negroes charged with assault against white women. This fact was understood to be a contributing factor to the attempt upon the Mayor's life. Attention is not called to this for the purpose of justification, but to point to the fact that law's delay is nowhere else so intolerable as in the case of violation of white women by black men. And it is scarcely too much to expect that this problem of itself will force "militant" action in the direction of more speedy justice. Senator Williams was inexact in his use of language, of course, in the use of arbitrating such matters. But are not the typical processes of the typical trial more tantalizing to the friends and loved ones of all of these victims than any conceivable process of arbitration? The Negro is entitled to justice. The public is entitled to justice also. Upon both counts it should be prompt. We have had many programs of procedural and law reform drawn up by lawyer commissions, only to be defeated by lawyer legislatures. The time had come for laymen to come forward and formulate plans wholly in the public interest. The lawyer's private interest in litigation as a business should disqualify him for the task of constructing the machinery of justice. The system of private defense for profit should be done away with, and in its place a general public defender for both rich and poor should be installed. The exalted aim in every case should be the ascertainment of the truth. No rival exploits of rhetoric should be permitted to obscure the issue. The world war has not lessened, but has accentuated the requirement for overhauling the machinery of justice. The authority of the law and its administrators will increase a hundredfold when every detail of its mechanism has been thoroughly modernized and made efficient. The News exhibits courage and good judgment when it condemns the practice of lynching. It also exhibited both qualities in a pre-eminent degree during those years when it battled for judicial reform as a prohylactic against such conduct. Let us not permit the toying of the world with radicalism and its diminished respect for authority to determine us from a house-cleaning worthy of great reconstruction days. We shall be less sure of keeping the things we count worth while if we neglect it. WILLIAM Y. WARD, M. D. SELLING THE PEOPLE. Whenever a Negro is lynched on any charge or for any pretext generally the news is carried in every paper in the land. Therefore from these reports of somewhere from fifty to a hundred lynchings a year—far too large a number, of course, too large by whatever the total may be—we are liable to get a distorted idea of the situation. For there is another side to the Negro question. There are thousands and thousands of instances showing how the race is progressing in a most commendable manner, and countless cases in which material aid in the advancement is furnished by the white people among whom the Negroes lot is cast. This is true even in the South where most of the lynchings occur. Sometimes this side of the matter gets into print, but the greater part of it usually remains merely a matter of local knowledge. NEWS OF GENERAL INTEREST (By Associated Negro Press) E. Orange, N. J. Oct. 16—Dr. W. G.

C., Oct. 16.—One of the most significant moves by the government to check the fall epidemic of lynching and race riots was the sending of Federal Troops to Omaha, under command of General Leonard Wood, to protect the people and restore order. Secretary of War Baker, has issued an order to the effect that commanding generals at the various army centers may send Federal troops wherever riot disturbances occur within their districts, providing their a request for them by the proper local authority. It is expected this will have quite an effect on sobering radical minds of various communities in helping to bring about conditions of peace and harmony. New York, N, Y, Oct. 16.—Dr. Robert E.

The subject from all indications revealed the soul of the speaker and in each paragraph the distinguished minister poured upon the hearts of Christianity the true logic of "Come now" while the blood runs warm in your veins, and come to me before winter comes. Many of the unsaved made haste after the conclusion of the sermon when Dr. E. Arlington Kilson, pastor, opened the doors of the church to those desiring to join. A goodly number was accepted for full membership, several under watch care and equally as many for baptism.

The American Syncopated Orchestra of skinned musical organization exent, is opening the Coliseum program at the Victory Fair at Dallas each afternoon and evening. Will Marion Cook* and George Edmund Duff are the directors. Duff was the leader of the famous Black Devils' Band overseas that played for the French Generals Foch and Matin, and for General Pershing at Brest. Titter hearing them play, Gen. Pershing is reported to have said, "Give me jazz," in referring to the program they had given. Duff began his career as leader with Primrose and West Minstrels. However, the American Syncopated Orchestra does not confine itself to jazz music. The program runs all the gamut of renditions up to the highest classical selections by the master composers. Popular numbers are interspersed with Nerro spirituals, folk songs and many other classes of music, both instrumental and vocal. The full orchestra gives way to the solist, the quartet or the voices. The orchestra is a band of exceptionally schooled musicians, and whatever they offer has some peculiar, unique personality that seems a part of no other like band, according to the testimony of a musical expert who heard them. Nothing is touched by their keen natural intelligence, and the musicianship is thoroughly refined. Even in its most humorous aspects it never becomes coarse. Under the title, "American Music for Americans," the American Syncopated Orchestra is giving programs of which the following is a fair sample: Orchestra and Singers—Rain Song Cook. Trombone Solo—Characteristic William Dover. Solo and Chorus—Mammy o' Mine Pinkard. Orchestra Spirituals—Folk Lore Quartet or Exclusion Quartet Orchestra—Arabian Nights—Davis. Tenor Solo—Mammy—Cook. Drum Solo—Archie Bell. Orchestra and Singers—Swing Along Cook WHERE ARE YOU DRIFTING? A representative of The Dallas Express was informed by a prominent business man that a pastor of a certain church in the city was seen going into a Central avenue restaurant, operated by a foreigner to get himself a lunch. When he was surrounded by any number of first-class Negro restaurants. It is reasonable to excuse a man who is trying to save time, but time was not an item in this case; we were forced to ask ourselves the question where are we drifting?

PAGE SIX TWO NEGROES LYNCHED Lincolnton, Ga,, October 16—Jack Gordon and Will’ Brown, Negroes, were lynched by a mob here early today and their bodies buzned. The victims of the mob were charged with having shot Deputy Sheriff Roy Freeman and Boyce Forston near here late Saturday. Freeman is not expected to live. ‘Mose Martin, another Negro, was killed by @ posse late yesterday dur- ing the hunt for Gordon and several other blacks were whipped for re- fusing to give information as to Gordon's whereabouts. The lynching took place about 4 o'clock this morning, after Gordon had been taken from the custody of Sheriff Kelley of Wilkes County, by ‘a mob said to number approximately 1,000 persons. The other Negro, Brown was, being held by the mob awaiting the arrival of Gordon. The two were strung up on the outskirts of the town, and after their bodies were riddled with bullets, they were cut down and placed on a pile of burning pinewood. NEGROES WINNING BY DEGREES. San Antonio, Texas, Oct. 16,—Fel- owing a strike of 30 employes of the Liberty Flour Mills Monday the company announced, that it was pre- pairing to resume’ operations with Negro employes, and that so far as it was concerned no further negoti- ations with the strikers would be held. This is taken to mean that ‘the men will not be taken back on any basis of settlement. The com- pany has received assurances of po- lice protection in the event any effort is made forcibly to interfere with its new employes. M, C. Giesecke, assistant manager of the mills, gave out the following statement: “We have not heretofore employed Negroes in our mills, but we have secured Negroes to take the place of the striking employes and we ‘expect to resume operations. We made partial runs last Friday and Saturday to take care of 2,000 bushels of wheat which the strikers left on our hands after it was tempered and in a condition where it would spoil very quickly unless milled.” U, 8 MUST PREPARE 10 FIGHT HOOVER SAYS. By Associated Press. Palto Alto, Oct. 16.—"If the Lea- gue of Nations is to break down, we must at once prepare to fight,” Her- bert Hoover, formerly economic di- rector for the Supreme War Counell, told the students of Standard Uni- versity in an address here tonight. ‘The peace treaties, he said, “can- not be carried out without the leag- ue, If the league falls the treaties also fall. If the balance of power is to supplant the eLague of Nations, we will have torn asunder, the only hope that Europe will not break into further wars of races, classes and combinations that will take civiliza- tion back to the middie ages. “I am confident that if we attempt to revise the treaty we shall tread a road through Buropean chaos. If we manage to keep our soldiers out of it we will not escape fearful economic losses. EVERY SOLDIER TO HAVE CHANCE TO GET EDU.

REY. 8. C, WALKER, B. D, DEAD. August, Ga, Oct, 16.—Rev. Samuel C, Walker, pastor Elam Baptist church, August, died at his residence on the “Hill,” Tuesday afternoon, near five o'clock. No sadder death ever occurred in the city of Augusta, and perhaps no larger funeral was ever witnessed in this city or com- munity. He had been in poor health during” the entire year, and had made extended visits to health resorts in an effort to regain his normal strength. He bore his aifictiois so silently and resolutely until his bre- thren never knew he was seriously il until he was almost dead. The funeral was held from Tabernacle Baptist church Thursday afternoon of last week at the funeral Rev. R. J. Johnson, his pastor and master of ceremonies, read the sketch of his sketch of his life, A MINOR ACCIDENT THE SPARK THAT MIGHT HAVE STARTED TROUBLE, | Kansas City, "Oct. 16—Only the coolness and presence of mind of ‘Officer John W, Bailey prevented the ‘enraged witnesses of an accident at 18th and Grove Streets on Wednes- day evening from man-handing the driver of a truck who struck a little girl with his car. The need of cool handling of the usual and unavoid- able relations between the races these days could not find a better fllustra- tion than this. The personnel of the actors in this near tragedy could not have been changed to sow more clearly the utter folly of impulse taking the place of judgment when something goes wrong. The facts are that a little Colored girl with her mother was proceeding up 18th Street. At Grove the child became ‘separated from her guide, and when she started across the street, at Grove, this light grocery truck with & young white man as driver was proceeding around her turning to- ward the west, Just then the mother called to the child and she became bewildered so that she stepped back right in front of the truck which knocked her down, ran a few feet, and stopped right over her. She was rescued by a Jewish woman of the neighborhood. Thereupon a Negro holding a special officer's permit, his gun, climbed over the hood of the car, threatening the driver. Officer Bailey was nearby and took the sit- uation in hand. The driver, the wit- nesses and the child were taken into @ shop nearby where their statements were being taken, However such a calm ending of an incident repeated @ thousand times in the crowded Sts., of the cities was not to be. A mob of excited Negroes rushed the shop, threatening to do violence to the young white man. But Bailey was equal to the situation. He told them that he and his prisoner went up or down together, and their ardor for blood was cooled. All in @ day's work, says the po- liceman, but thinking men in this day know that of such incidents is made the race riot. $135,000.00 INSURANCE WRITTEN. Mr. George W. Reid, who is Dis- trict Agent for The Standard Life Insurance Company, .in a section of Eastern Kentucky, is on the road to break all records for this Company in the entire United States for the balance of the year. During the month of August Mr. Reid wrote over $135.000 worth of business himself—an amount of busi- ness greater than the average agent writes in a year. It should be en- couraging to our younger men just out of high school and college, who are contemplating entering business, to learn that Mr. Reid’s earnings at his present rate, will total well above $5,000.00 for the year. Mr. Reid is becoming one of the highest paid salesmen with the Stand- ard Life Insurance Company—and in addition, is rapidly developing into an Executive of ability in the hand- ling of his District. RED “CROSS OFFICER—FIRST NE- GRO OFFICER IN SOUTH. Atlanta, has had in the city this week Mr. Seymour Carroll of Colum. bia, S.

He accused the Postmaster Generai of not complying fully with the terms of a resolution passed re- cently by the House, asking for the record of appointments, of postmast- ers since they were placed under civil. service by executive order, as- serted that nearly 1000 appointments had been held up, and made a veiled threat that Congress would remove Mr, Burleson from office, “The Postmaster General in his communication to the House seems to labor under the misapprehension that he need not comply with the resolution passed by the House,” said Mr. Lehlbach. “The Postofiice De- partment, like any other. government department, is responsible to Con- gress, which regulates the manner in which ft shall function, Congress may even go so far as to remove the head of the depart- ment, if he is guilty of such mal- feasance as to justify such condign Punishment. When upon the sug- gestion of malfeasance the House orders the Postmaster General to furnish facts, it is plainly his duty to furnish them. “In his communication Mr. Bur- leson seeks to camouflage his dis- obedience to the mandate of the House. The charge is that he has refused in many instances to submit names in compliance with the ex- ecutive order of putting postmasters under civil service, where such com- pliance would not coincide with his Personal or political desires. “He admits that there exist 786 va- cancies in the postermasterships of the presidential class, which appar- ently are left unfilled because of the unwillingness in that the appalling number of cases to yield obedience to the President, “While it was well known that in a number of cases vacancies have been unfilled for a year or more be- cause of the Postmaster General's failure to coerce the Civil Service Commission to change its ratings, it was not believed that his contu- macy and @ffrontery had developed to such astounding proportions that 786 of the important offices through- out the country had been left with- out permanent appointees to admin- ister them. “He speaks of 486 such cases be- ing still in the hands of the Civil Service Commission. It will be in- teresting to note, should he eventu- ally comply with the House reso- lution, how many of these cases are there because of the reference by the Postmaster General on the ground that the original ratings were im- proper.” SA mae eC 3 OES Sy OR OG aie a eae igs BOP Ae GOR Se EE SS ede. | gaa arse Aaa etc Cae A SSR Te xa ei gre a eae > RSA niet ace Pag + j Sac See pe ee a a Mm os oi ee, NG ae re, \, ae peace, f . \\ ae ce sia “ eT o ~ EAM Wee a a, a , i; k ee GY i | cra i ; Z ue sie tie a.

H. STRICKLAND, President, S COFIELD, Secretary PAGE PEN THE AMERICAN SYNCOPATED ORCHESTRA IS HONORED WITH A MAGNIFICENT BANQUET GIVEN UNDER THE AUSPIICES OF THE LOVER OF MUSIC CLUB OF THE CITY OF DALLAS ON LAST FRIDAY EVENING AT THE S. M. T. HALL. The Bevy of Ladies was an Inspiration and a Delight to all. By N. W. Harllee. It was on Friday evening of last week when the hall of pleasure and complete enjoyment was had in honor of the American Synoopated Orchestra. The spacious hall was filled with a bevy of the most fashionable and pretty women it has ever been our pleasure to see and for once the writer imagined himself a youngster once more as these ladies made the hall ring with their modesty and beauty and the pleasure of by gone days stole upon him as he sat in a corner and peeped out at them like the country mouse that came to town. The Lover's Musical Club of which congenial I. M. Horton is the President entertained the Syncopated Orchestra, which has been engaged at the 'State Fair to render daily programs. This orchestra has an international standing of which Mr. G. E. Dulf is the leader and president. His corps consists of thirty members, young men of education, some of whom are graduates of Harvard and Yale colleges, and each is an expert in his line of the musical art that tells the story of proficiency whenever they sing or perform on an instrument. During the evening several pieces were rendered by the members of this renowned and artistic orchestra of which the American people who have heard them pride them as true artists that they are. The German called this orchestra, "The Black Devil Band," as it would continue to play for the advancing Negro soldiers in No Man's Land under bursting shell and fuming gases and even in the flames of liquid fires, leading the 379th 8th Illinois, conducted by Mr. Dulf the magnificent commissioned musician who is those who not heard them would do well to go out to the greatest state fair on earth and hear this great aggregation of Negro talent. But we must speak of the banquet, the mirth of real joy, the bevy of ladies, attired in the latest fads and beautiful gowns of the seasons that gave life and real animation to the occasion. It was a pleasure to see them, to hear them, to be in their company, and to call to mind what the old Romans really meant when they called their daughters the "Primitive Grace of the Golden Age," it was all revealed on this joyful evening when covers were laid for 75 fair ladies and seventy-five gentlemen. The most important service was banquetting table laden with the delicacies of the season. There was no need of toasts on this occasion, but they were on the program with the menu and of course they were carried out perfumery and in place. Mr. Billy George was the caterer and prepared the menu. After the banquet was finished, the deck cleared for action, we understood that there was to be a battle of the fantastic toes, we slipped out as the sweet stranded of music kept us looking back like Lo's wife, and how thankful we were that we did not maritalize into the salt of the past age, for we peeped and pealed and loved the music, and in which the fighting kept time to the latest music known to the waltz kind and its effect on the emotion of those who delighted to swing and sway with measured steps and elastic rendition peculiar to the are of modern dancing. We even stopped at the door and stopped peeping and looked squarely at the business and saw that each one was an artist as a score and half would mingle and meet a score or more without confusion and finally left, left, left, nothing about the victorious ones in this battle of the Fantastic Toe. Much credit is due Pres. Horton, and to the following persons of the splendid banquet tendered the American Syncopated Orchestra: Mesdames Overton, Island and Pittman, L. C. Morgan, Mrs. Frank Hawkins, and Misses Virginia Stewart and Birdie Jordan. Dr. Frank Hawkins was the accomplished toast-master. It has been a long time since the writer has seen such a splendid affair in all his travels, not even in the city of Washington, nor yet while in New York City being at banquets and other cities and even in Saint Paul and Minneapolis, he has seen nothing to excell the one that was stared in honor of the Syncopated Orchestra, which the entire Negro race should rise up and do reverence. The official of the state fair did a splendid thing to engage these artists to give entertainment to the lovers of real music who visit the fair. Another lesson is learned that the Negro needs no longer to stand back, but push forward and to do that, and to have that which the world wants and he will find a market for his wares, for his talents, for after genius will speak out and her voice will be heard and heeded. THE DALLAS EXPRESS, DALLAS TEXAS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1919. N. CAROLINA ATTEMPS TO BANISH THE AGITATOR N. CAROLINA ATTEMPS TO BANISH THE AGITATOR (By Associated Negro Press) Reileigh, N. C., 16—Thirty-eight Negro leaders of North Carolina have issued a statement declaring the Negroes "are making more money and reaching a stage of prosperity never before enjoyed." And that never have they been so independent, nor had better opportunities for contented living. At a conference a week ago the thirty-eight Negro leaders and two white men were present, as well as some of the most radical leaders, of whom have made protest against North Carolina conditions existing prior to Gov. Bickett's Administration. Their report, published today, says: "A large majority of the Negroes have no troubles, and if the agitators will only let them alone they can secure a fair opportunity to work out their own destinies." The labor agitators who entices the Negro to the North by recounting the iniquities of the South is reprobated as one of the disturbing forces in the Negro's habitual life. "There never was a time when the State was so ready to give adequate educational advantages to the Negroes," the report says. "There never eva was a time when the Negro had more cause to hope. One town is planning to spend $1000,000 for the Negroes alone; another is voting a special bond issue in rural districts where many buildings costing from $10,000 to $10,000 are being trained supervisors are being employed to give better supervision to rural schools. "With such prospects for improving our educational conditions, incedary, false charges and the continual harping on injustice of the white to the Negro are doing great harm, and if the agitator really wishes to help the Negroes should throw the emphasis upon what the white man really knows, and make a long story that would change the whole thought about racial relationship." The conference thinks that while the Negro does not get full Justice in the courts, it is a condition attributable not to race but to conditions, the absence of friends and power. The new Juvenile Court Law will give the delinquent Negro salvation from chain gangs and State prisons, and the signers call on all Negroes present the agitators who seek to inflame them on account of the courts It especially repudiates all those who counsel force in the repulsion of wrong endured, and it declares there are many yet. "Those who insist that force will in any way be beneficial are the most dangerous enemies to all," the statement declares. It calls on ministers and leaders to look out a constitution and hopeful programme. Negro editors to devote more space to what the Negro is doing, and asks the white press to put less emphasis on crimes of the Race. The report condones all advocacy of social equality or intermarriages between the races, saying: Any individual or society in or out of the State that advocates the intermingling of the races on terms, of social equality and intermarriage of races doing a good harm to the Negro for wherever this doctrine finds lodgement, it stirs race prejudice in the South and threatens the well-being of both races." Tribune Defends Its Policy. (By Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., Oct. 16.—During the recent rioting in Omaha, Neb., the Associated Negro Press sent a letter of protest to the Chicago Tribune, one of the leading dailies of the country, concerning headlines used in one of their editions with reference to the riot. Because of its great influence the policy of the Tribune, is watched very closely by hundreds of newspapers throughout the country. In a personal reply, Col. R. R. McCormick, one of the editors of the Tribune, endeavors to leave the impression that this newspaper is fair in its dealings with Colored people. He says: "Tribune representatives have been physically run out of southern towns because of the Tribune's attitude toward the Tribune. The Tribune was the first, if not the only public organ to take up the question of better conditions for Colored men in Chicago and to advocate the necessity of providing them with places to live if we were going to bring them here to work. "Mob law, whether exercised against Colored or white men, has always followed a failure of the constituted authorities to perform their obligation. The Tribune will continue to be, as it has for many years, the leading journalistic opponent of lynch law. We feel however, that before this end can be effectively brought about, we must produce in the country and in the city a condition where criminals are rapidly apprehended and meted out stern justice. I think all editors should devote considerable energy to the agitation of this essential condition." Nevertheless, it seems that the point of view of the Tribune and that of the Colored people regarding what is "fair and just" do not harmonize, because in their issue of recent date, there appeared and editorial on race riots. It was nothing more or less than a veiled threat that if the Colored people did not stay in "their place," the white people will put them in "their place" and keep them there. The big question seems to be "Where is the place' of the Colored people in America?" MADDEN BILL FAILS TO PASS Washington, D. C. Oct. 16.—Efforts of Representative Madden of Illinois, and a group of Chicago Negroes to induce the interstate Committee abolishing the "Jim Crow" laws of the Southern states will prove barren of result. Not only have numerous members of the Committee expressed themselves as opposed to attempting any such legislation, but Chairman Esch, in a statement has unqualifiedly declared himself as against any such radical procedure. Chairman Esch said the right of Congress to eliminate the "Jim Crow" laws of the states is certainly debatable, and added that the attacking group possess this right in its control of inter-state commerce under the constitution, such a law would only serve to raise a great controversy in the states affected. Chairman Esch says there should be no discrimination in the service accorded to any passengers on payment of like fare, but beyond requiring like service and adequate cars and equipment for Negroes, he does not believe anything will be done by Congress. Members of the house declare positively there will be no attempt made to eliminate the " Jim Crow" laws in the Southern states, and they deplore the agitation of the question by Madden and his Negro friends at a time when the race question is regarded as acute throughout the country. S. C. BARS NEGROES IN LEGION (By Associated Negro Press) (By Associated Negro Press) Columbia, S. C., Oct. 16.—There are no Negro members of the American Legion of South Carolina and there will be none for some time, certainly until the meeting of the State Convention to be held in Columbia, according to information obtained from state headquarters. The question of whether and if so, upon what terms, Negroes could become members of the legion as one which was left optional to the individual state organizations for solution. Negroes Organize $100,000 Factory. (By Associated Negro Press) (By Associated Negro Press) Hot Springs, Ark., Oct. 16.—The Overalls Manufacturing and Industrial Association with an authorized capital of $100,000 has been organized and is meeting with success. The prospectus states that the purpose that it has is the purpose of operating a manufacturing plant, overall plant, furniture and other industries for employment to hundreds of men and women; to emphasize industrial features to secure enough loan to develop manufacturing centres among our people, thereby opening the door of hope along industrial lines. The officers are R. T. Collins, president; George S. Washington, secretary. Hogs Almost Cost Race Trouble Vienna, Ga., Oct. 16. - Serious trouble was marrowly averted here as a result of a herd of hogs, the property of a white farmer, trespassing on the premises of a Negro who farmed on the land adjoining. The affair occurred in the northwest section of the county. According to the statement of a reliable parties the trouble started when the Negro is reported to be a man asked a hard-working requester the owner of the hogs to keep them out of his fields where they were destroying the corn. It seems that this was not done, and the hogs continued to visit the fields. The Negro fortworth attempted to run them out, using sticks, rocks, etc., as weapons. Business League For Chicago.

After first giving me a whipping which still gives me a pain in spots when I think of it, my fond parents decided to train me for art-in view of several attractive unsigned decorations on the dining room wall paper. I don't ever remember having excercised that boarder, and still think that our boarder, who outfit the same day, must have flung a pot of cravy at the poor unoffending wall before he left. But, anyway, the consequences were that I studied art, and after taking a stab at editing a magazine, I sold various articles of commerce at a time when I was almost free from its evil influence. When I was well on the road to becoming another Mr. Rockefellow, somebody offered me an art class, and I should have received, but it hypnotized me and I succumbed. Since then, I have been doing comics, quips, and jokes without number. I hope you will like "Demo Green."

The News a few days ago had a communication from William G. Ward, M. D, Ivanhoe, Texas, headed: "Laymen, Not Lawyers Should Reform Courts, It Is Said." Lawyers must hang their heads when reading it. Should not lawyers examine their consciences? Perhaps they will find that they have been derelict, and in some degree lost the confidence of the public. Lawyers could be great benefactors in settling this race problem, which is becoming so intense. The Doctor says the Negro is entitled to justice. Indeed he is, since he is a man, a born American, and has proven a loyal citizen. May lawyers, medical men, the pulpit, the press, the teachers demand justice for the Negro brother. SHERMAN.

Richard Williams When the records of K. of P. are recorded in Texas it will not be complete without the name of Kt. Richard Williams. We meet tonight to mourn the loss of one member of Oil City Lodge No. 112 of P. Beaumont, Texas. A man was made into Knighthood. Not a wall flower, but a worker. The command of the Heavenly Father is to work in the vineyard and if ever there was a young man who practiced this command, it was the deceased, whose sudden departure we mourn as a K. of P. worker. He had but a few equals. For years Kt. Williams has played conspicuously in all things what meant development to the order and its causes and in the death of Kt. Williams the Oil City Lodge No. 112, Beaumont, Texas, has lost one of its best portors, most loyal members whose work and life will be grievously missed. We come if they may to console the broken heart of the bereaved family and friends whose loss, we keenly feel. KT. D. C. BREAUX. C. C. KT. D. W. ELLIS. K. of R. & S. CITIZEN'S MEMORIAL SERVICES CITIZEN'S MEMORIAL SERVICES IN HONOR OF THE LATE W. E. KING, EDITOR AND FOUNDER OF THE DALLAS EXPRESS. His Life Work Review—He Stood for Human Rights and Human Progress, He Trained With American's Foremost Statesmen in Politics. G. L. Boswell, The Master of Ceremonies Makes Address, Dr. W. L. Dickson Offers up a Prayer. Mrs. Portla W. Pittman Leads the Music—Hon. W. E. King is Missed in the Council of Great Men. By N. W. Harllee. The Citizen's Memorial service was held in honor of W. E. King, editor of The Dallas Express on Sunday evening in Pythian Temple before a large and appreciative audience of the leading citizens of this city. The following program outlined by the committee was carried out. "Hon. W. E. King as a citizen," J. C. Jordan. Mr. Jordan spoke of Mr. King as a man who had done his duty as a citizen, and emphasizing the fact that we all missed his counsel and timely advice just now in the crucible crisis through which we are passing. Mr. King knew what to write having lived in the south that he deserved great counsel and that in our union of efforts we could belt the entire country as one man in our strength to uplift race, and not only that we could belt all North America in rational relation and then extend this relation beyond the seas in a friendly grasp with our race in Africa, and in the lies of the seas. This generation will not raise another of his race, emphasizing the fact that if we wish to employ our girls and boys that we must open up business for them, and for that cause his has been heard throughout that state is been no other one man. It is very told and proffer to Eitor King. This concluded, Prof. J. P. Starks was next introduced who spoke to the subject, "Hon. W. T. King as Editor." Mr. Starks spiked the economic relation to business stressing the high points in his economic career in connection with the Dallas case of Mr. King more than any other one man the Express had accomplished material good in every way. this material one subject that Mr. King was much interested in and would do much to put his views into operation that the good he would do might reach others. Mr. Starks divided his time with Prof. N. W. Harille, who spoke of Mr. King's wide experience with men and measure. Mr Harille characterized Mr. King as a man of ability and ripe scholarship and as being an adept in the history of nations which knowledge he used on every occasion. Mr. Harille would profit by the study of many nations in order that they might build upon a lasting foundation of the experience of all nations who had played their part in the world of human progress. J. H. Dixon handled the theme: "Hon. W. E. King as a Business Man," paying a high tribute to him as a man of broad vision in the founding of the Dallas Express, Mr. Dixon reviewed the business career of Mr. King, paying him the honor that is justly due his wisdom and business sagacity in the establishing this one paper. "Mr. King as a politician" was the timely subject of Hon. A. S. Wells, who showed that Mr. King was in favor of the Colored man as a Republican should have a larger representation in the management of party affairs especially in the Republican organization in Dallas County as nine tenths of the party was made of up Colored men. Mr. King always trained with men of national repute the leading lights of the party, and he ever delighted to talk of these men and what they stood for both locally and nationally. Mr. King was an admirer of the Hon. N. W. Cuney and it was with him that he trained and imbued in his noble thoughts and even his burning aspiration fired his nationalism, and he was on the lookout for his race. His Republicanism could not for a reason be questioned, he ever stood firm and in the right whether in the National convention claimed him as a delegate or the local delegate in a state convention. Dr. W. L. Dickson made eulogic remarks in favor of the late W. E. King pointing out the facts that the work which he founded still goes hight ahead, and that the Colored man would be of service to his race that he would do as Mr. King had done in establishing an industrial employment for we need not expect for us to do for us that which we failed to do for ourselves. "What we Need," said Dr. Dickson, "is to do something PAGE ELEVEN for ourselves that will count along the line of high endeavor and this will speak for us when we can not speak for ourselves." Mr. Dickson urged that we should remember Mr. King as a useful citizen and as a worthy man that lie and be acquainted with him for over twenty-five years. His remarks "were frequently applauded. It is a duty as well as pleasure that we meet to do honor to Mr. King and we can not say too much about his useful career and hand his name down to posterity by living honorable and beautiful lives. Prof. Goldtwhait, the principal of the Waxahachie high school was next introduced and spoke of Mr. King as the one man that he admired, touching upon many things in which he was interested in that made his life worthwhile. Said he, "On a funeral occasion, we often see tears, but on this occasion, we see none, the reason is that we are filled with the joy of the achievements and the results of his great and useful life of which we all are justly proud. "What we want in this age and what we have given to others who are the great aids lights such as Mr. King my friend has been. The music on this occasion was inspiring and appropriate, conducted by Mrs. Potia W. Pittman, the eminent musician. Perhaps one of the greatest addresses delivered and to the point on this occasion, was the performance by Mr. Lee. The Funeral Service in honor of the late Hon. W. E. King, was one of that citizens of Dallas may feel a deep and abiding pride, although coming late it showed that the man still lives in the hearts of his country-men as a lover of justice and human progress. The speakers were loud in their praise and were pursued by the late W. E. King, and that his death is not only felt in our city and state, but through the nation as well, for it was he that touched every point in the advocacy of his people and for the peace and harmony between the races. The following is the committee who prepared the Memorial exercises: B. Mayfair V. V. Booker, E. W. D Welch, James Tolbert, S. C. Black, J. P. Bradshaw. TRYING TO KEEP THESE GOOD MEN DOWN. (By Associated Negro Press) Jacksonville, Fla., Oct. 16—At a meeting of the commissioners of Duval county yesterday a delegation of Negroes appeared to request that the members of their race be permitted to use the county armory for a meeting or meetings of an educative character to offset what they state is a government propaganda to draw attention to the Negroes worked to work in the steel mills and other industrial plants as the vast number of foreigners now employed in such manufactures are to be sent back to their native homes. The delegation stated they desired to have white speakers address the Negroes and tell them the advantages of remaining at their homes. The delegation also stated the Negroes who would work would be from the South, which would leave the southern section without workmen in the trades and laborers. DENOUNCES LAWLESSNESS. (By Associated Negro Press) Brooklyn, N. Y., Oct. 16.—A denunciation of lawlessness in Omaha, Nebraska, was delivered last night by Arnon L. Squiers, Republican candidate for the Supreme Court. Speaking at a series of campaign meetings in Brooklyn, the Republican judicial candidate scored the passivity of public officials who, he declared, by their own weak-kneed attitude have encouraged the wave of lynchings outrages which has swept over the country during the past few months. "These are trying times," said Mr. Squiers, and now more than ever it is necessary that we should have in public office men who have the power to conduct elections, who are not afraid to take action, and what they know to be right and adhere to it in the face of public clamors."
