MISSISSIPPI COM-
MISSION FAILURE
PRAISE OF SOUTH NOT HEEDED BY RACE MEN
Chicago, Ill., Oct. 23—The Farcial "commission" that recently went into Mississippi at the instance of the Chicago Association of Commerce and brought back such glowing reports from that wonderful country as being a land of promise, has fallen flat and those who have been watching the effect, claim that the propagandists of injustice will have to look elsewhere for schemes to get the Colored people to return South.
One of the most interesting comments comes from the history of the country, sent a committee of white and Colored men to Mississippi to study conditions in that state.
The committee was commissioned by the Association of Commerce, the federal bureau of labor and organized labor. It has just made its report, relating that it found "exceptional happiness, contentment and prosperity among the Negroes of Mississippi." The report says that "school facilities were found to be good, churches adequate, housing conditions being improved rapidly and race relations good." The industrious Negro "is afforded excellent opportunities to become a land owner, a businessman, an important harmless was found."
The committee related that its "were secured from the Negroes themselves, and we had the privilege of riding with them and surveying their farms in automobiles they own."
That is the surprising report brought back by northern investigators from a state commonly represented as hating and abusing Negroes. It is noteworthy that Mississippi business men recently issued an invitation to Negroes who had migrated to the North to return.
One suspicion, however, suggests itself. Did this Chicago committee make its report so entrancing to get rid of the Negroes who have moved to Chicago, where they seem to be unwelcome? Is it propaganda to induce them to leave the city and state?
NEGROES ARRESTED IN ST. LOUIS
I. W. W. RAID
Alleged Race Riot Plans Uncovered. Prominent White Anarchists In Alleged Plot
Race riots and general uprising among Negroes of St. Louis, similar to the disturbances recently instigated in Arkansas, are believed to have been nipped in their inception here by a series of raids and arrests made by city detectives under Chief Minnegan and the federal authorities throughout the last twenty-four hours.
Not only did the raids indicate that white workers of the I. W. W. were planning to stir the Negroes to an uprising, but in a raid on Weintraub's Hall, 1414 North Grand avenue, late last night, the police found that a Negro prisoner, already in their hands, was booked to speak

SAYS NEGRO KNOWS HIS ECONOMIC VALUE TO COUNTRY. SOUTH MUST TAKE NOTICE
Washington, D. C., Oct. 23.—The National Race Congress in its address to the country says in part: "Patiently we have submitted to the many acts of injustice heaped upon us by an intolerant element of this country, and still counselling law and order and the observance of all forms of good government we say now without reservation and with firm conviction in the justice of our position, that when it becomes a matriarch of the life and existence—the man who does not rise in his own defense is not worthy of citizenship in a Republic like these United States.
"If this nation desires to maintain its proud position among the nations of the world and prove that it is a democracy in deed as well as in word, it must carry out the letter and the spirit of its constitution. Any government which has the right to make its citizens bear arms in its defense must by the same token have the power to protect them. A nation which proposes a democratic progress for the protection of the weak and oppressed people of the world should inaugure the same program in the future that we believe it to be in the interest of good government and in harmony with the spirit which gave birth to this Nation that every intelligent man and women, North and South, should, should have the right of suffrage.
"Notwithstanding the fact that no race representative was invited to sit in its councils, we view with gratification the effect now being made in this city by the conference called by the President of the United States, to effect an adjustment of the race in the country, and respectfully recommend the adoption of similar action on all grievous public questions.
"The migration of the Colored people now going on from the several southern states is primarily due to the lack of safety of the home and is indicative to the fact that the Negro is sensible of the economic value of his labor. This movement clearly demonstrates to the South that all forms of proscription, Jim Crow laws, and the necessity must cease; and better school facilities, better housing conditions, and better wages must be provided if the migration is to be checked. The influx of a large number of new groups to the congested cities of the North calls for the active co-operation of all concerned so that, as soon as possible, the new comers may be assimilated to their new environment. "We advocate obedience to law; strict morality; temperate habits; the acquisition of the education and property and counsel our people everywhere to take advantage of all educational opportunities offered them. We call upon all state authorities to make equal and adequate appropriations for school buildings, salaries for teachers and provide for a minimum school term of six months."
PRINTERS' STRIKE BRINGS NEW
Newark, N. J. Oct. 23.—On account of the pressmen and feeders strike in the East, the New Jersey Observer has purchased a printing plant with cylinder presses and will run as usual. The Observer is one of the most progressive newspapers in the county.
Claim Strike Only Weapon For Negro In His Struggle For Justice
Pittsburgh, Pa., Oct. 23.—With the steel strike apparently settling into a long drawn out struggle, local officials are not concerned so much over the prospects of disorder arising from this specific industrial situation as they are over an eruption of I. W. Wism unconnected with the strike. Mayor Babcock received copies today of the I. W. W. literature that was distributed among the Negroes of Michigan, Ohio. Pittsburgh alone has a black population of 46,000, while the district here about has many Negroes, brought from the South in the stress of war work. Agitation has been going on here among the Colored residents for months, according to reports to the police, and it is the municipal elections in the city. In the crowded Fifth ward there is a hot three concerned contest for Alderman among a Negro and two white men. "Thru out this land of liberty, so-called," says the pamphlet, the Negro worker is treated as an inferior; he is underpaid in his work and overcharged in his rent; he is poked about, cursed and spat upon; in him, cursed not, as a human being, but as a man's best of burden for the ruling class. When he tries to improve this condition, he is shoved back into the mire of degradation and poverty and told to 'keep his place.'
He has, however, one weapon the master class fears—the power to fold his arms and refuse to work for the community until he is guaranteed fair treatment. Remember how alarmed the South became over the migration of Colored workers two years ago, and what desperate means were used to try to keep them from leaving the mills and cotton fields?
NEGROES ARE PROSPERING
Associated Negro Press Says Cannot Keep Negroes From Gaining and Accumulating
Chicago, Oct. 23.—The Associated Negro Press survey for the week discloses unusual activity along reality lines in every section of the country. Never in the history of the Race has there been such Large reality deals closed and contracts let for construction of residences, business blocks, theatres, churches and schools.
Notwithstanding the high cost of living, Colored people are showing surprising financial resources. Everywhere there is a growing confidence in financial cooperative investments. In some instances, amounts arrange from $500,000 to one Million Dollars. This is almost an amazing evidence of progress.
Attention has been very respectfully called to the Clearing House Association of Norfolk, Virginia, to the foothold that in their monthly statement that three Colored banks with resources of more than a Million dollars, have not been included up-to-date in the general report, it is believed that the suggestions will have the desired effect upon the Association.
The Conference of the National League on Urban conditions held in Detroit, has been watched with much interest by people throughout the country because of the very constructive work carried on by this organization. Welfare workers of both races from every section of the country were in attendance and the
(Continued on page 5).
"The only power of the Negro is his power as a worker; his one weapon is the strike. Only by organizing and refusing to work for those who abuse him can put an end to the injustice and oppression he now endures.
"Most labor organizations however, shut their doors to the Colored people. The American Federation of Labor excludes him from any of its unions as an inferior. In those to which he is admitted he is treated as an inferior. The Negro has no chance in them and does not want them. They do not want them. They admit only under compulsion and treat him with contempt. Their officials who discourage strikes for higher wages or shorter hours are always ready as in the case of the switchman's union to permit a strike to prevent the employment of Colored men.
This narrow minded policy of excluding the Negro from the trade unions of the economy forces him to become a strike breaker against his will be closing legitimate occurrences to him. The consequence is racial conflicts such as the frightful tragedy in E. St. Louis, Ill., in 1917.
"There is one international labor organization in this country that admits the Colored worker on a footnote equality with the whites—the Industrial Workers of the World."
The pamphlet then offers the Negro absolute equality in the ranks of the I. W. W., and pleads that the organization aims for more than a mere "less work and more pay."
"But the I. W. W., does not limit its aims as do the trade unions," continues the pamphlet, "to less work (Continued on page 5).
PORO BUILDING DECORATED
"Mural Tripartite" Is Unveiled With Imposing Service and Ceremony
St. Louis, Mo. Oct. 23.—The famous Poro building of which Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Malone are founders has been newly decorated inside by the firm of Marx & Jones. There are now three immense panels in the lobby, called the "Mural Tripartite," a tribute to our Race. They are the Genesis, Exodus and Apotheosis, and each panel has an interesting history. Three heroic figures of the beautiful womanhood of the Race personify Liberty and her hand maddens. It cannot but think as they expresses fond hope. It really represents woman whose genius made the Poro College possible, and on Sunday, the veil was lifted. It was a notable occasion in the Mound-City, Bishop C. S. Smith, eDtroit, Mich, Rev. Reverdy Ransom, New York, Bishop B. F. Parks, Chicago, Dr. A. J. Carey, Chicago, were among the speakers present. An elaborate musical program was rendered. Rev. Dr. Peck pastor of the church with Mr. and Mrs. Malone attend, was master of ceremonies.

WHITES ORGANIZE TO KEEP RACE PURE
WOULD STOP VIOLATION OF RACE LINES BY WHITES
SAYS MULATTO TOO NUMEROUS
IN AMERICA
Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 23.—At last it is here! An organization has been formed in the South to preserve the "purity of the white race and to restrain white traitors, "Some Organization," Indeed. And not one who is acquainted with its purposes will question the effect that it has a job on its hand. One of the leading organizations of the organization is one Henry P. White of Marion, which would seem that he has a fitting name for the ultimate purposes.
The Birmingham News, (daily) quotes at length on the organization and says in part: "All of these race riots have been caused by the attempt of Negro men to override the line and to make white women the victim of their lustful passions. Unquestionably, the notable outbreaks in all directions this year are due to the bad education of Negro soldiers of France and to the determination of some from them to enjoy the privileges they were perpetrated by a low class of French women, who were more greedy of easy money than of regard for any high consideration of any sort.'
"But now comes a white leader from the Black Belt, where the proportion of Negro population is so great, to protest against another feature of race relationship that has not originated in France, or with Negro soldiers. He takes up bold, simply by the question of the violation of some of the laws of custom which all know has always been to general in the South. He speaks of this violation as familiar to every neighborhood.
No matter what may be all the causes of this common evil, this great wrong, it is a matter of tremendous consequence to the white

NEGRO MISSIONARIES
SAIL FOR LIBERIA
SENT BY BAPTIST MISSIONARY BOARD.
Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 23.—A party of Colored missionaries from this city will sail from New York on Friday to take up their residence permanently in Liberia. They are Dr. R. M. Siussa who is accompanied by his wife and children Miss Priscilla Bryan, Miss Della E. Harris, Rev D. S. Nichols and Miss Ela Hooks. They are being sent to Africa by the Foreign Missionary Board of the Baptist church and are being accompanied by Rev. L. G. Jordan, secretary of the board, who will return to this country about January 1.
This missionaries will establish missions and social centres in different parts of Liberia and conduct an active educational campaign. Fr. Susia came here a boy from Liberia, 14 years ago, and is a graduate in medicine. He is returning to his home country to practice medicine, where there is now only one physician among two and one-half millions of Negroes. Miss Priscilla Bryan is a graduate dentist and will be the first of her profession to practice in Liberia. Miss Harris is a graduate of a social service training school and will look after the social center work.

OUR NEW PARK.
Another play park for Negroes in Dallas is just one more way of
‘saying that the voters who caused Mayor Wozencraft and his staff to be-
come the administrators of its affairs, knew their business. More and more
‘euch day we are seeing that the Mayor is steadily and surely bringing to
pass in our city a program of development of and for the citizens.
We realize that the machinery of even a city government is necessarily
slow but we, in this present administration are led to believe that those
who now are in office-have in mind, the welfare of Dallas in its fullest
senso because in thelr administration the needs of every class and kind of
its cltizens is being considered and bettered.
We are glad to share thus in the benefits provided for the betterment
and advancement of Dallas citizens. Our children need play parks and re-
reational centers of such sorts.
‘There 1s no doubt that if mass citizenship is to be made higher, if
men generally are to be raised to a greater realization of their duties as
eltizens there must be definite, concrete, everyday evidences of what good
citizens have done and are doing for their mutual well being.
‘We hope to see our two parks improved and beautiful flower beds laid out,
We hope in time to have the play of our children directed in educative and
culture-tending ways. I say we hope—we really expect in time that this
shall be done. For we know that all men realize that the welfare and well
being of any community 1s measured by the benefits derived from {ts main-
tenance by all of its citizens. Ib is common knowledge that a cess pool
which breeds mosquitoes in Solith Dallas, will in some way wreak evil
in East or north Dallas. A lack of sewerage or disease breading filth in
the the poorest Negro section will affect some family in an exclusive resi-
dence section for as long as communities are, men must mingle and so
leave some mark however small on each individual involved.
And then too it is worth while for every parent and every teacher to
‘be able in teaching and attempting to direct those children under their care
hoe the lines of citizenship and uprightness to point to results of co-
‘operation and civic responsibility. It 1s made easy to develop o law abiding
citizen of child who during its upbringing has enjoyed public benefits.
‘The spirit of vandalism is more easily countera®ed and his sense of re-
sponsibility and proprietorship, awakened by such living evidences of the
‘goo will and co-operation of every member of his community.
Such investments as the City of Dallas has just made in the purchase
of this park site and {ts subsequent though gradual improvement will bear
gregter interest than many are able to realize. Men think and appreciate
keenly. No man is insensible to justice, fair play and kindness, There is
no man however low in the scale he may be, who doesn't know when he is
sharing in the benefits derived from his existence in a general commonwealth
nd conduct himself accordingly, We do appreciate and we do respond. ‘The
proof is never lacking to one who sees and studies. Dallas will be better
for having thus provided for this class of her citizens and countless black
children will be taught @o become better citizens because of this concrete
proot of their share in this clty prosperity. Men who may have begun to
lose faith almost in the practicability of investing and paying taxes where
they seemed to share very little if any in the benefits derived therefrom
will begin to re-consider and take fresh heart and new courage and thus
Dallas as a whole will become, to its entire citizenry a city Beautiful, the
real Garden Spot of Texas, because of thelr faith in its love of justice and
sense of fair dealing. _

NEGROES AND ASSAULT,
It bas been given wide publicity that assaults and attempted assaults
by Negroes upon white women and girls had so inflamed the public mind
that summary vengeance was inevitable, It is true that there have been
many reports in the press of such crimes. Some of which when run to
earth were found to be groundless or unsubstantiated. ‘The report of County
‘Attorney Shotwell on the status of assault cases which was given to the
press last Saturday throws a rather startling and unexpected light upon
the situation, which should have a sobering effect upon those who are dis-
posed tobelleve that Negroes are chief offenders in the commission of this hien-
‘ous chime. It is a matter of record that there are now awaiting trial in dis-
trict court seventeen persons held for this crime, Of this number FOUR
fare Negroes and THIRTEEN are WHITE MEN! One, a white man, Alfred
J. Ramsey, who was accused of attempted assault upon a sixteen-year-old
Colored girl, was found not guilty by a jury, and Jerry Dennis, a Negro
fs serving a term in the penitentiary for attempted assault upon a young
white woman, No Negro accused of this crime has been admitted to bail,
and only three white men accused of attempted assault have been released
‘under heavy bonds. —Monitor, Omaha, Neb.
‘The lynchings in 1918, according to the records made up at Tuskegee,
were for murder; for alleged complicity in murder; for threats to kill; for
assault; for attempted assault; for alleged participation in a fight over an
alleged hog-stealing; for killing an officer of the law; for assisting a man
charged with murder to escape; for robbing a house and frightening women;
for killing a man in a dispute about automobile repairs; for killing a land-
lord in a dispute over a farm contract; for assault with intent to murder;
for wounding another; for robbery and resisting arrest. Only sixteen of
the Inchings were for assault or attempted assault on women, Many
of the crimes charged against the victims of the mobs were not punishable
with death under the law, while some of them were only punishable with
Jail sentences or fines. .
It was a disgraceful record that Judge Lynch was permitted to make
in 1918, and there is no assurance that he will not be permitteed to make
a still more disgraceful record during the present year. Fifty-seven men,
four of them white men, and five women—sixty-two people in all—were do-
nied their day in court and put to death by mobs.
Many of these people had not committeed capital crimes, whiles some
of them were innocent of any crime, If possible, every member of every
‘one of these mobs should have been brought to judgment in the courts
they defied, but, so far as is known, no effort has been made to apprehend
any of the lynchers. It may be that the Federal Government, realizing
that State authorities will not uphold the law against the mob, will even-
tually take steps to enforce the clause of the Federal Constitution which
provides that no person shall be deprived of life or liberty without due
process of law. Courier, Bristol, Va,
‘Many years ago Booker T, Washington undertook to keep a list of
lynchings in the United States showing the color and sex of victims and
the provocation of the crimes, Tuskegee Tinstitute has continued the recor.
It shows that during the first six months of the year 1918 there were thirty-
five lynchings, against fourteen for the corresponding period in 1917, Only
one victim was white; three were women; and only eight of tho thirty-
five persons murdered by mobs were charged with rape.
+ ‘The record 1s highly educative; it has shown every year that lynching
is a erlme of violence indulged in by mobs and that it can not be classified
as Irregular punishment of assaulters, because the victims are In many cases
not charged with assault. Lee than one-fourth of them during the last
six months were lynched upon that charge. It should be borne in mind
that lynchers do not wait for proof, but*oftimes they kill ee against
wheom evidence to support the charge is slight.
As proof that common tefense of lynching is fatuous, the Tuskezee
record, showing how often the victim of mob violence is charged with «
crime other than assault, is worth the effort its making involves, It serves
admirably as unassailable “publicity,” controverting the often-made state-
ment that “lynching is due to the passionate resentment of respectable citi-
zens when crimes against women have been committed.”
Courier-Journal, Louisville, Ky.
As to the causes, when lynching first came into vogue, rape was the
principal factor that brought on lynching; but, later on, it comprised’ any
kind of offense, from rape to hog-stealing and resisting an officer.
‘There are a handful of lawless men in each community who are at
time ready to tear down the temples of justice and bring shame and dis-
eredit upon the community and state. They care little about the guilt of
the accused and with them accusation is evidence of guilt,
T efte a case in point which happened in this country a few years azo,
when several Negroes were accused of poisoning horses, which was a very
dastardly deed. They were arrested, tried, and acquitted for want of evi-
dence. Some tlme later they were taken from thelr homes, under cover
of night, and put to death,
‘Will those who participate in Iynchings ever realize that each person
who takes an active part in such proceeding» has taken a*human life
without sanction of law and is a murderer? And those who ald and abet
(them by their approval or silence cannot be classed as good citizens.
T hope, Mr. Editor, ‘you will continue to help create a public sentiment
which will cause our grand and petit jurios to convict these Iaw-breakers
wherever tho evidence is warranted.
Lat it be said in honor of the State executive and the judiciary, that
they have put forth theif best efforts to reduce and put down this terrible
evil. 8. Zadek, Advertiser, Montgomery, Ala.

At the Hall the meeting was disbanded and Joseph Norvell, 24, 1420 Wash street, a Russian, and Ben Sibiskis, a tailor, of 2162 Geyer avenue, were arrested, Sibiskis was arrested in connection with I. W. W. raids in the course of the war. Both were held for the federal authorities.
Evidence procured in another raid indicated that a close connection seemed to have been formed between an element of the Negroes here and a group of foreigners, representing the I. W. W. Abe Schneider of 4417 Page boulevard and George Lutzai of 3958 Sarpy avenue were arrested with other white men and a Negro, Logett Fort Whiteman, at 1243 North Garrison avenue.
Negro Dominates Whites.
Whitman appeared to be dominating the work of the eleven white men all of foreign birth. From evidence secured it appeared that Geo. Lutzai was to be sent to Detroit to form a similar organization there. Aided by notes and addresses found on prisoners at the Narrison address, the police kept up the work and now hold letters signed with the names of Emma Goldman, Alexander Berkman, Rose Pastor Stokes and Roger Baldwin, the last named formerly secretary of the Civic League here. Baldwin was recently released last fall in New Jersey, who has served ten months out of a year's sentence for obstructing the draft, Emma Goldman was recently discharged from a Penitentiary at Jefferson City.
Baldwin came here ostensibly on "social service work" a few days ago, but departed for the East before the raids were made. His rooms at 5424 Cabanne avenue were searched yesterday and some papers were found which are kept secret for the time by the authorities working on the case.
Schindler, one of the eleven foreigners arrested with this Negro Whiteman, arrived in this country from Russia in 1904. Since that time he has been under constant surveillance by the police. When the men and their associates were taken before Chief of Detectives Hannagan, they commenced to deny all connection with the I. W. W. A mass of literature from the organization was soon brought in by some of the raiding officers.
Letter Signed "Roger Baldwin."
Whiteman, the Negro, maintained that he was not working for the I. W. W., but was simply trying to organize the Negroes here. Later, the police say, he and the white man arrested admitted membership. Evidence that a meeting was held at the North Garrison address caused the police to search the premises thoroughly and a letter was found

Other white men arrested in the raid in the Negro quarters gave their names as Louis Wagner, 5044 Clakton avenue, Rumanian; Jacob Levin, 3701 California avenue, Russian; Victor Wagner, 1228 Missouri avenue, Rumanian; William Popoc, 1817 South Tenth street, Austrian; Leonard Copel, 5802 Delmar boulevard, alex; Alex Dachin, 4 A Elliott avenue, Russian; Philip Wagner, 1228 Missouri avenue, Rumanian, and Charles H.

Whitman became agitated when under arrest and it was on some of his contradictory statements that the police secured evidence for other raids. He said that he had been stopping at 4233 Maffit avenue for the last ten days.
Among his effects was found the letter signed with the name of Rose Pastor Stokes, in which she assured Whitman that she would "be with him when he was organized." Quotations from the same letter were: "With all my heart I wish the movement success," and "the international party shall be the human race."

and more pay. Its greatest object is the complete emancipation of the working class.
As long as the workers hold their jobs only by permission of some employer they are not free. As long as there is one class that lives is case and idleness of their labor they are industrial slaves.
"Freedom for the workers will come only when everybody does his share of the work of the world and when the workers—take control of the industries and operate them—not as at present, for the benefit of the leisure class, but for the welfare of society as a whole."
It concludes: "Fellow workers of the Colored race, do not expect justice or fair-treatment as a gift from the ruling classes. You will get from them nothing but what you are strong enough to take. 'In union there is strength.'
"The only power that the workers of any race or nationality have is their power to act together as workers. We therefore urge you to join with your fellow workers of every race in the

results of the conference will have almost beneficial effect in a national way upon the problems of Race adjustment.
Great interest is manifested thru out the country in the Curtis resolution before the judiciary committee of the United States Senate for investigation of lynchings and riots. In a statement to the Associated Negro Press, Senator Curtis says:
"You may rest assured it will give me pleasure to do what I can to secure favorable action. The sub-committee do not feel that they can take the matter up until after action has been had on the Peace Treaty. There is a question of jurisdiction which they want to carefully look into. I feel that because of the importance of the question that the United States government should make a thorough investigation."
It is difficult to comprehend the necessity for having the investigation wait on the Peace Treaty. Investigation of various other kinds are now in progress, and organizations throughout the country are writing their senators and representatives urging that every influence be brought to bear for immediate consideration. The question of "Jurisdiction" is being discussed, but the majority of opinion is to the effect that the Senate has a very good right to act.
WHITES ORGANIZE
race, because to look at it from no higher standpoint, it reacts fearfully upon the whites in various ways. Unquestionably it angers a large part of the Negroes which feeling is more or less contributory to the increased tendency to strained race relations. But it reacts directly and materially in providing a large mulatto element out of which comes most of the unhappiness of the Negroes, and much of the race agitation which is injurious to both races. "But enough of the outstanding facts of the situation here in the South. Mr. White takes up the question from a standpoint of purity of the white race. He speaks of white men, who bridge the race lines as "traitors" to the white race, as chiefly responsible for the "mongrel race which is increasing in alarming numbers."
"The main purpose of Mr. White's article, however, is not to set forth facts or comments, but to devise a remedy. He puts fordard the step planned by some pioneer spirits for the formation of a "secret fraternal and benevolent order," the only purported way to help keep the white blood pure, to prevent any improper social equality with any of the Colored

Miss Jackson was a modest and unassuming young woman and was admired deeply by all who knew her. She was a graduate of the Dallas Colored High School, aside from her high school training she was well versed in music, having furnished music for choirs in many of the city churches. She was an apt pupil in music and was very fond of her studies. She was a member of St. Paul M. E. church to which she has devoted much time in her early years. Her death is deeply deplored by the entire citizenship. Surviving her is much, Mrs. Francis Jackson, two two sisters, Mrs. Milda Henson Detroit, Mich., and Mrs. Susanna Hampton of Dallas and Sam Jackson, Philadelphia, Penn, at this writing funeral arrangements have not been perfected.

WILLIAM DESAIR BY JANOL
LITICAL ABILITY OF WOMEN IS EVIDENCED
New York Paper Believes All Doubt As to Capacity Has Now Been Removed.
Commenting on the Conferences which the New York women, under the direction of Miss Mary Garrett Hay, chairman of the Republican Women's National Executive Committee, and Mrs. Arthur L. Livermore, State Chairman of the Republican Women's Committee have been holding recently, the New York Sun says:
"If there was ever any doubt about the skill capacity of women to band together for political action, the splendid working organizations affected by them in the struggle for suffrage dispelled it. The advocates and opponents of it for reform displayed a genius for cooperation which nobody seemed to deny. It is only expected that the same gift will be exhibited in the political associations women will enter now the ballot is in their hands and they are called on to perform the duties of electors at the poll."
"A good many men and women who fought against suffrage have declared their belief that once the sex was enfranchised its members would not take the trouble to vote. To get the masculine voters to go to the polls has always been a hard case for case managers. Probably the case will be otherwise with women. The organizations to be perfected will pave the way for this and thus will be of the highest value to women in general as well as to those who at election act with the Republican party."
MISSOURI WOMEN READY TO
MAKE MOTTO GOOD.
"Missouri, a Republican State in 1920"
Is Slogan to be Carried on Banner.
With the naming of Mrs. J. M. Hutchinson, of St. Louis, Missouri, as chairman of the Republican Women's City Club of St. Louis, the women executive organization is complete. Republican headquarters are to be opened shortly for the women in the Odd Fellows Building, and will be the meeting place for the women. The women are going about their work in a most thorough manner. A brief history of the party is being prepared for "ready reference," and the fall and winter will see much educational work done. The constitution of the United States will be studied as the foundation of all political study, and the principles of the Republican party will be learned. In politics seriously, and will work to secure the cooperation of every Republican woman in the state to make good their motto—"Missouri, a Republican CState in 1920."
NEW YORK WOMEN READY FOR
WORK IN 1920 CONTEST.
Prepared to Carry Campaign Into Homes to Forward Republican Cause.
SHOULD ENROLL THIS FALL
At least 300,000 women will be enrolled in New York, ready to work for good candidates and good legislation in the Presidential campaign next year, according to Miss Mary Garrett Hay, chairman of the Republican Women's National Executive Committee, and member of the women's committee. A. Ivermore, state chairman of the Republican Women's Committee, and State, Chairman George A. Glynn, has just returned from a series of conferences held throughout the state.
"The women are prepared to work from now until the fall of 1920 to get their section of the organization in shape," said Miss Hay. "In order to do this they will conduct a house to house canvass and distribute literature. In order to take part in the selection of candidates the women must enroll, of course, so that they may cast their ballot in the primaries. If they enroll this fall they can take part in the primaries next spring because of the presidential convention are to be chosen, and later being enrolled, they will be in position to have something to say about the selection of a candidate for Governor and United States Senator."
In reference to legislation at Albany next winter, Miss Hay said: "The women will be on hand to support the various measures in which the women, without regard to party lines, are interested. We shall support legislation for the protection of the life and health of women wage earners in business life and in the shops; that will protect the children against the evils of sweat shop employment; and for laws that make for the betterment of the community. The women of the state look to the Republican party for laws that will keep the Empire state abreast of the times. The Republican party is not perfect, but it is the best party that we have at present, and we need to make it better, so that the young women leaving the college and high school will recognize it as the best available vehicle for the expression for her political aspirations."

THE FIRST ANNIVERSARY SERVICES HELD AT THE MACEDONIA BAPTIST CHURCH IN HONOR OF DR. E. ARLINGTON WILSON, THE PASTOR.
The One Man With a Remarkable Record as Minister and Scholar, The Lad as a Preacher and Leader of Men When a Student at College an Open and Inviting Feld For Young Negro College Men.
The New Awakening About to Dawn,
the Sun of Righteousness.
By N. W. Harllee
When we contemplate the anniversary of a Nation, we search the records, we scan the monuments of the nation's heroes; we recount the achievements and relate them in songs and praise to our children so the coming generation may be advised of the memorable deeds both by written history, monumental evidence and granite, bronze and brass, may render unto Ceasar the things that belong unto Ceasar, but the individual rising up in the community may not be so fortunate as the strong financial hand of the government to have erected to him monuments for his private deeds, surely not monuments of granite, but monuments and records that the insitee tooth of time can not effect, but those higher monuments that tell in the lives and characters of men and women.
We contemplate the anniversary of the individual, we also search the records, and this time, the individual is the Very Rev. E. Arlington Wilson, Ph. B. D. D. pastor of the Macedonia Baptist church, whose anniversary of his first year's services took place yesterday. This anniversary is full of good works as set forth in the records read at the end of the first year pastoral services, and this record is one that speaks for itself. But before giving the record of our subject, we would relate the work of his predecessors in a brief statement.
Father Pardee, who has been gathered to his fathers, was once the pastor of the Macedonia Baptist Church, and when we were a reporter on the great Dallas Morning News, we well remember reporting a sermon delivered by, Father Pardee in which he said that it was strange to him that men could not elect to do good as well as to do wrong and from that time forward, we have thought much about the philosophy in the expression, and we know the argument that is put forth is that it is strange and the more one thinks of it, the stranger it becomes. Raising his long arms, Father Pardee asked, "Why can you not will to do right, is it not just as it is to will to do right as it is to will to do wrong."
The following pastors of the Macedonia Baptist Church were ministers who did a good work and made additions to the church and were men of ability and who have left pleasant memories as an inheritance for the encouragement of their children. Dr. E. Escher, Rev. L. K. Williams, Dr. F. K. White, Dr. L. K. Williams, the latter of whom we shall have more to say in another article.
We wish to return to the worthy pastor, Dr. Wilson, a most remarkable man with a remarkable career as evidenced in the boy preacher in the gospel ministry in Kansas City while during his college course and at the same time leading a congregation at the age when most college youngsters are sowing wild oats or striving to prove that a million of angles can stand on the point of a needle. But the lad, the present great minister was called to the pastorate and for six years made good, called without application, a lad called to do a man's work, to wear the priestly ermine, to direct the destiny of the old and young, and that congregation made no mistake, and when he was called to go else where without application after his faithful service in Kansas City, hundreds of the faithful members whom he had pastored, followed him to the station as an attestation of their love and veneration for his good works.
But the boy is father to the man, and we find this lad pursuing his academic course at the Bishop College at the age of sixteen, full of promise and full to the brim with that inspiration which pointed to the brighter day that awaited him who had faith in manly efforts and the wisdom to start with the tide of life to reach the goal at the crest of the flood so that the matured thought of the man would be used for his race and spreading out like the roots of the giant oak of the forest that sustain the oak both by reason of the strength of the roots and at the same drawing nourishment both from the elements above and the nature of the earth. The gospel ministry is such an inviting and useful field where much good can be accomplished and where ability counts and where in the near furture no profession in compensation will count for more, and it is some what strange that more of the young college men fail to enter the theological institutes and become versed in the Scriptures. During the
next ten years there is to be an awakening in the religious affairs of nations that will shake the world as it has never before been shaken and the unrest and violent passions of men point in that direction according to the omen of other days when the mist rose before the great sun of Righteousness that dispelled its darkness of the night and turned all into a brilliant day, the noon tide of Christianity. In this mighty awakening, we would have our young college men enter with culture of mind and unfold what God has put in them and make more and more of it in the practical relation of the mighty are that is about to dawn.
"In The Kiss There Lurks An Evil"
A Picture with a Purpose
The most talked of Feature
We find Dr. Wilson at the University of Kansas City in later years still pursuing his career, still sitting at the fountain with burning thirst, seeking those higher things that raise the man above the beast, that raise him the coarser affairs to the intellectual, and lifting him from the maternal, the spiritual, and the dead, the graduate of his class, the only black boy in the class. He took his Doctor of Diversity Degrees at the Ec.seen Norton University, Cane Springs, Kentucky, and was the Master of Ancient Literature at the Canton, Mo. Besides being the Assistant Secretary of National Baptist Convention, he is the contributing Editor of the Teachers' Sunday School Publishing Board, and as a Fraternity man, he is the N.A. President of the F. and S. M. T. of the world. Such is the remarkable man and minister is the Rev. Wilson of the Macedonia Baptist Church.
Dr. F. K. White, the master of ceremonies at the Anniversary exercises said that the members of the church had a just cause to be proud of such a pastor with such a record, a builder of churches and a leader of men. Superintendent Shaw of the Sunday school read the record of the first year's service rendered by Dr. E. Arlington Wilson which showed that more than 300 members had been added to the church within a year, and that $13,666.42 in actual cash had been raised and accounted for in beautifying the church and other buildings. Dr. C. C. Hoyer said in speaking of Dr. Wilson, "That this great man is not too high to mingle with the less fortunate, and is able to associate with the most refined and cultured." Many splendid talks were made by leading ministers on the anniversary occasion.
At the close of the anniversary exercises came the surprise to Dr. Wilson, when a fine hat of modern make was presented to the doctor by Dr. F. K. White on behalf of the Baptist Ministers Association, followed by a gold headed umbrella presented by his brother-in-law. It was left for the Assistant Pastor, Rev. W. M. McIlveen to present a purse of more than sixty dollars to Dr. Wilson on behalf of the different churches of the city as a token of their appreciation for his first year's work in the city. Prof. N. W. Harlee was down on the program for an address, but was requested to defer his address till the banquet to be given Dr. Wilson on Monday evening. We were reminded of the lamb and the lion lying down together when we saw the good relation of the pastors existing among the preachers and to hear all speak words of commendation of a worthy brother pastor. We left a better and a wiser man. The record also showed that the membership of the great Macedonia church is more than four thousand, the largest membership of any church in the state of the race.
LABORER BECOMES MILLIONAIRE
A few years ago, John B. Key of Okmulgee, Okla., was a laborer receiving a wage of $1.20 a day. Now he is a millionaire in his own right and title. He got his start by striking oil on his land but he increased his earnings by careful real estate investments until today he owns twenty-five brick buildings all of which are equipped by white enantia. This example of such success is that it promotes at the Business League that one Negro firm, the Poro Company, paid last year in income tax $100,000.

Mrs. St. Clair Perry of Iyre street is very sick at this writing. Services at St. Paul A. M. E. church were well attended Sunday, McLennan County Teachers opened their Institute last Monday morning, 51 strong. Prof. U. S. Jones, the clever magician is in our city again. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Holloway are in the city for a short while. McLennan County Agricultural Exposition held at Harrison Switch under the direction of

This beautiful addition is now offered again to the public. It was first decided that no more lots would be sold as the addition has developed into very valuable switch property through the Texas & Pacific railroad, buying and building a right-away through the property, but the Manor Land Company, decided to close out the few remaining unsold lots as the addition is now over one-half sold.
There is no question but what the addition is valuable property and property that is sure to rapidly increase in value. In all probability the Ervay Car Ln. will be extended to within one block of the addition, it has been already extended some.

DALLAS, TEXAS
NEW COMPENSATION ACT FOR
. DISABLED SOLDIERS
cae Eh ee Cone oS Se
to wounded soldiers at Walter Reed
Hospital, Washington, D. C, epitom-
ized the motives behind the action of
the Bureau in requesting Congress,
through the Treasury Department, to
enact several important amendments
to the War Risk Insurance Act.
‘These may be divided into two’ gen-
eral classes—those affecting the com-
Pensation features of the Act, and
those concerning War Risk Insurance.
‘A very important proposed amend-
‘ment and one which meets with wide-
spread approval, is the upward re-
vision of the schedule of compensa-
tion payable to disabled ex-service
men, under the present schedule a
man’ totally disabled is entitled to a
%@) © month, if single, ‘The amend-
Ment raises this by $50, making $80
Payable under these circumstances.
If he has a wife but no child living
he gets $45. ‘The amendment pro-
vides $90. If he has a wife and one
child, he draws at present $55, the
‘amendment gives him $95.
‘The law now provides that if a
man loses both hands, both feet, or
the sight of both eyes. or becomes
helpless and permanently bedridden,
he shall receive $100 a month com-
pensation. Experiences has shown
that many men who have lost an
arm and a leg, or one limb and the
sight of one eye, are just as badly
crippled as men who have lost both
feet or both hands, and so the Bu-
ean has recommended that in ad-
dition to the injuries at present en-
titling a man to compensation at the
rate of $100 a month, the following
shall be included: ‘The loss of one
foot and one hand; the loss of one
foot and the sight of one eye. These
deemed “total and permanent dis-
ability” by the express wording of
the amendment. There is also a
provision that for a “double total
permanent disability,” meaning cases
in which men are maimed so serious-
ly that their injuries include two
‘of these classifications, the compen-
sation shall be $200 a month,
‘The Bureau has found a very wide-
spread sentiment among ex-service
men in favor of having their policies
made payablp in a lump sum, or in
installments covering a short period
of time, at thelr option. To meet
this demand Director | Cholmeley
Jones has urgently recommended a
modification of the War Risk In-
surance Act to permit making pro-
vision In the contract for converted
insurance for optional settlements on
the part of the insured, making such
insurance payable either in one sum
‘or in installments for — thirty-six
months or more. s
If the insured has not exercised
his right of election, under the pro-
posed amendment the beneficiary may
elect to receive the insurance in
monthly installments covering a pe-
riod of not less than three years,
jother very important item ts
thigyproposed enlargement of the
permitted class of insurance bene-
ficiaries (spouse, child. grandchild,
parent. brother or sister) to include,
in addition to those ‘enumerated,
uncles, aunts, nephews, nieces, brot-
Jers-in-law, and and sisters-in-law,
All of ‘the amendment described
above, together with several other
Proposed measures of less interest,
Dut of much importance, are incor
porated in the so-called “Sweet-Bill”
introduced by Congressman Sweet of
Towa in the House of Representatives
on August 26, 1919. There is every
reason to anticipate the enactment
into law of these proposed features
at an early date.
In the matter of the settlement of
insurance claims the Bureau is prac-
typty jeurrent, Of over 125,000
ims, all but 9,000 have been setiled
and regular payments are being
made. ‘The 9,000 unsettled cases con-
sist of those in which the benefl-
claries Ive in forelzn countries or
for some other reason can not be
reached. A diligent effort is being
made to get in touch with this com-
paratively small residue.
‘The Medical Division has just com-
pleted a very trying and dimcult
task—the preparation of a schedule
of disability ratings for different in-
Juries and combinations of injuries,
dased on $100 per month as compen-
sation for total disability. Tf the
Sweet Bill (H. R. 8778) becomes law,
all compensation for disability will
‘be based upon $100 per month as a
maximum instead of upon $30 as at
present. This schedule is necessari-
ly Yery complicated, being designed
to cover all probable combinations
and degrees of injuries, and
signed to cover all probable com-
Dinations and degrees of injuries, and
must be revised from time to time
in accordance with the Bureau's ex-
perience in order that full justice
may be done in all cases.

Judge W. N. Gemmill, of Chicago,
supplied the Tribune of that city with
the following figures, compiled after
personal examination of the court
records, showing the effect of war-
time during July and August, the
first two “dry” months, and point-
ing out a new argument against the
addition of 1,000 policemen to the
present force: ‘
“July and August, 1919, are the
first two months of ‘prohibition, and
a few figures are now ayallable to
show the effect on crime in Chicago,
“July was not a fair test, as much
Nquor was stored in homes after the
beginning of the month, Then the
race riots occurred during the month.
Huge Drop in Arrests,
“Yet the total number of arrests
in July for all causes was 36 per
cent less than the arrests of any
previous July for five years.
“In August the total number of ar-
rests-decreased 51 per cent over Au-
gust, 1918, and 73 per cent over Aug-
ust, 1916.
“The total number of arrests in
Chicago in August, 1919, was 7,768;
in August, 1918, 13,761, and in Aug-
ust, 1916, 13,441.
“A ‘he present rate there will be
a decrease of more than 40,000 ar-
rests in Chicago in the coming year.
Forty-Thousand Days Sayed.
“An arrest means a day lost to a
policeman, Oftentimes he spends
many days in attendance upon court
in a single arrest.
“This means 40,000 days saved for
‘one officer, or 400 days for 1,000 offi
cers. Certainly we do not need 1,-
000 extra policemen with this show-
ing.
“In South Chicago, where I have
held court, there has been hardly a
case of wife beating since July 1,
although such cases were frequent
before that.
“The only crimes now on the in-
¢rease are robberies and murders.
‘There are committed by a tough
school of young criminals, who are
encouraged by the tax enforcement of
the law. ,
How to Help Chicago.

not make Alabama First?
‘The opening of the State Office here
brings to Montgomery Mr. G. F. Olt
ver, one of the best known and hig-

Waycross, Ga., Oct. 23.—What was
considered one of the best deals ever
put over by Negroes in this city, was
When several well known business
men took over the Waycross Casket
Company, recently. For more than
a year tthe company has been owned
by whites but operated by Negroes
now become its sole owners,
By the tranaction referred to Ne-
groes.
‘The company has been manufactur-
ing some beautiful coffins and cask-
ets already and with the new plans
to be put into effect by the new own-
ers, the needs of all the undertakers
of the this section can be supplied.
About $10,000.00 was involved in the
transaction which has been capitaliz-
ed at $25,000.00. $15,000.00 worth of
the stock is to be placed on the
market at $25.00 per share. The
transaction was brought about largely
through the efforts of Rev, J. W.
Johnson, who has been its mandger
for the past year.
‘The present offiers and men com-
posing the company are J. C, Me-
Graw, president; Rev. J. W. Johnson,
vice-president and general ‘manager;
B. B, Moore, secretary: Dr. J. J.
Creagh, treasurer; Carlton W. Gaines,
Hugh H. Smith, Dr. H. C. Scarlett,
‘T. C, Williams ‘and Rev. E, A. Rob-
inson.
With these men behind it the new
‘company will most likely become one
of the strongest and most successful
Negro business enterprises in this
section of the state.
AMERICAN LEGION PRESENTS UN.
USUAL SPECTACLE OF ORGANI-
ZATION WITHOUT DIVISION.
Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 23.—The
Colored delegates to’ the Missouri
state meeting of the American Legion
were treated in such a manner that
whatever zeal they had for this new
soldier organization is much strength-
ened, They say of the meeting that
in no way and at no time was Ne-
gro an issue, and he went as an
American without distinguished mark
until the last and closing session
when Capt. Jack Williams of Joplin
reminded the convention tthat the
relative weakness of the Negro posts
would keep them from representa-
tion in the National meeting in Min-
neapolis, Nov. 10, 11, 12. unless steps
were taken to remedy that condition:
‘Therefore he urged the election of
Negro delegates among the nine to
represent Missouri at large. This was
done, the two selected being Fear-
ance of St. Louis, and Franklin Perry
of St. Joseph. ‘Of the two alter-
nates at large for the state one went
to a Negro, Homer Roberts of Kan-
sas City. ‘The utmost harmony and
good will prevailed.~ One Negro dele-
gates and that was from a full blood-
ed personage named Ludwig. He was
told in no uncertain tones to. shut
up and sit down, Being held in
Jefferson City, the Governor — was
present, and he too advocated whole
Americanism without divisions _be-
cause of race, creed or color. Since
there were only 6 Colored delegates
present, and three were honored with
places,” and since the tone of tho
addresses and deliberations were 80
big and broad they are jubilant. Mr.
Roberts will make a report to his
local branch at the regular weekly
meeting before next Monday even-
ing. ‘The branch wants 1000 mem-
hers before Nov. 10, and says it will
get them.
Activities Committee says:
The Legion is foundod primarily
to foster and spread true Ameriean-
isn, This means that must raise Its
voice against lawlessness of all kinds
—against the adulterated slavery that
exist in part of this country. It is
the privilege of every ex-service man
to help in this matter. Fall in men,
eyes right; you had a duty in your
country’s #rvice—it was national—
you have a duty now, it 1s sacred.
You who are strong for the Ameri-

118 FORCED TO KISS FLAG AND
DRIVEN FROM CITY.
No Disorder Provailed...They eWre
T, W. Wes and Trouble Makers,
Weirton, W. Va., Oct. 23—One hun-
dred and eighteen aliored members
ot the Industrial Workers of the
World, captured in a raid near here
today, were marched into the public
square at Weirton, forced to kiss the
American flag and were driven out
of town by police and deputies. Sev-
en others, suspected of being the
leaders; after kissing the flag, wore
taken to the county jail at New Cum-
berland, where they will be held
pending investigation by federal
authorities. .
‘The raid was carried out without
any serious disorder. Authorities of
Hancock county and Weirton had
heen Aearching for the rendezvous of
the alleged I. W. W., since several
days ago, when there appeared on
the sidewalks here written threats
that the “I W. W., will get you.”
‘Last night the meeting place of
the men wanted was located in an
old ‘barn on the Hancock county
road, south of here, It was sur-
rounded by heavily armel deputies
and a few entered tthe barn.
‘A search of the place resulted in
the finding of a large quantity of
“Red” literature—half a ton, It was
said—in which the flag of ‘anarchy
was extolled and the prediction made
that the extremists would rule the
World. The deputies also found the
hanes of 187 men, supposed to be
members of the organization, meet-
ing in the barn, Immediately depu-
Ues were sent out and the men were
rounded up in the public square.
There was one fight after another
in bringing the men to the square,
and even after they were corralled
there was resistance when the depu-
tles gave them the option of kiss-
ing the flag or goug to jail.
A big American flag was strung
across the street over thelr heads
while another flag was used for the
kissing, Most of the men were Finns,
and they were told in their native
tongue that they must kiss the
flag or remain in custody. Protests
came from many but they were in
vain, Some voluntarily took hold of
the flag and buried their faces in it.
The men were then informed that
they must leave town. Again there was
& protest from many, but they were
escorted to the town limits neverthe-
less, and ordered to leave.
It is claimed most of the men
were furnace workers and that they
came here from Woodlawn, Pa,, near
Pittsburg, a few days ago.
‘The record of the men at Wood-
lawn is being investigated by the
state and federal authorities.
PLCTURE THEATRE MAN DELIV-
ERS ADDRESS 'T0 NEGROES; 18
PLACED IN JAD.
Birmingham, Ala, Oct. _23.—The
Ensley police’ arrested C. P. Chris-
tensen Sunday afternoon at the Ne-
g70 picture show at Tuxede Junction
after hé had finished delivering and
inciting speech to an audience of Ne-
gros who had gathered together or
® community sing.
Christensen, who is a Dane by
birth, is representative manager of
the picture show which for lack of
proper support from Colored patron-
‘age, closed down a week ago, The
building was secured by Professor
Woods, the well known principal of
the public school for Negro children

singing and after several talks by
Negro men on various topics of in-
terest to the Colored people, Chris.
tensen camo forward tnd euilogizod
the bravery of the Negroes in the
Tecent war as being equal if not
superior to the whites, and then com-
pared their treatment here to their
treatment in the east, saying they
were getting an unfair’deal here. He
exhorted the Negroes to demand their
rights from the people of the south.
Following the speech, Officer Ap-
pling, of the Ensley police force,
stepped up to the stage and arrested
the speaker.
In police court yesterday morning
Judge Lowry fined him $100 and 180
days hard labor, which was the maxi-
mum of the local court. Whether he
will be arrested and handled later
by the department of justice will be
decided by that department,
Tn court Professor Woods said that
he thought it was his duty to say
that Christensen’s speech was not ap-
proved by him nor any of the bet-
ter class of the Colored race in this
district, and that he felt sure that
no bad’ results would come from it
Those knowing of his years of suc-
cessful service as a leader of his
race in this district felt that his
speech in court was sincere in every
respect.
That there Is an agency at work
among the Negroes of this industrial
center is well known and the disap-
proval is so strong by the better
class of Negroes that there is. very
little secrecy maintained as to its
work.
Christensen has applied for his
first ‘naturalization papers to become
‘a citizen of the United States.

toms, below here, have had to close
for the present as the day schools
have had to close for the reason of
cotton picking, but will be continued
a little later on, ‘The Fulton Colored
Moonlight School began some weeks
ago and @ good attendance. Hick-
man Colored Moonlight School with

Accordingly it was decided to pur-
chase a machine gun to be placed

Austin, Texas, Oct. 23.—L, W. Rog-
ers, supervisor of the Negro training
schools in ‘Texas for the State depart-
ment of education, has returned to
Austin after making a tour of those
already established. There are now
five such schools in the State and
there are about 1,000. Negro boys and
Sirls who are receiving vocational
education therein, Special attention
is devoted to manual training, in-
clusive of shop work; agriculture, in-
dustrial pursuits and domestic ‘sel-
ence..
|, Two other county schools are short-
ly to be instituted, one at Mahan in
Harrison county, and the other at
Pine Island, ‘Trinity county; in ad-
dition to which Mr, Rogers’ will lo-
cate two others in the near future.
All these schools receive funds
from the Rockefeller foundation and
other sources, this in addition to the
apportionment from tthe State. —
From the Rosenwald fund there
will this year be available funds for
the building of some 20 new schools
for Negroes in various -parts of the
State, and each of these will have
facilities for the inausyration of the
vocational courses. ‘They correspond,
in @ wey, to the consolidated schools
which will be built for the white
pupils from the county funds, They
will be established in various coun-
tries and will be of the one and two
teacher type approved by the de-
partment ‘of education; they will be
modern in every detail’ and will have
every possible facility for the bene-
fit of the Negro youth.
PROTEST AGAINST DISCRIMINA-
TION AY THEATRE,
South Bend, Ind., Oct. 23—“One of
those Chicago riot’ niggers,” was the
remark made of Floyd G. Snelson,
Jr, representing The Chicago Whip,
who, in company with one of the
leading young women of South eBnd,
attempted to buy a seat on the main
floor of the Orpheum ‘Theatre, The
ticket seller informed them that all
seats on the main floor were sold.
Upon entering, Snelson inquired of
the usher, who was a Colored girl,
about several rows of seats that were
vacant. He then protested at the
box office and the manager still per-
sisted that all main floor seats were
sold. A heated argument enstied and
the manager is said to have made
the above remark. Four Colored girl
ushers went to thelr employer in pro-
test, and not recelving any consider-
ation, they all quit. It is one of the
first race segregations in the city.
CERTAIN INDIANS WHO SERVED
IN ARMY 10 GET CITIZENSHIP,
Washington, Oct. 23.—The Senate
will pass the House “bill granting
citizenship to certain. Indians “who
served in the army of the navy dur-
ing the war, and who ee
ably discharged. This will be ac-
complished by the Indian appearing
in court, exhibiting his discharge pa-
pers, and the action of conferring
the citizenship will not, according
‘to terms of the bill, affect the prop.
erty rights, individual or tribal, of
any such Indjan.
“The legislation will affect none in
‘the five civilized tribes, as they were
‘made citizens by the Act of Congress
of March 3, 1901, but may affect
‘those of the other tribes in Okla-
hhoma who have not heretofore had
the rights of citizenship conferred.
In making the report to the Senate,
Senator Curtis of Kansas calls at-
‘tention to the war activities of the
American Indian. Out of a total of
33,000 eligible for military service,
10,000 entered some branch of the
army of naval service, which num-
ber Included about 7,000 living along
the northern border, ang who joined
the Canadian forces, A large num-
ber became commissioned afficers,
some of them attaining the rank of
major.
‘The Indians subscribed a total of
$25,000,000 to the five Liberty bond
issues, an equivalent of $75 for every
Indian of any age in the United
States. Their Thrift stamp purchases
have exceeded $500,000.

SOUTHERN MINISTER GIVES GEORGIA SENATOR A SEVERE DRUBBING.
SOUTHERN MINISTER GIVES GEORGIA SENATOR A SEVERE DRUBBING.
(By Associated Negro Press)
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 16—Never in the history of the country has a United States Senator been given a severe drubbing at the hands of a Southern white citizen as Senator John Sharpe Williams received from the Rev. C. B. Wilmer, Rector of the St. Luke's Episcopal church, this city. Rev. Wilmer undoubtedly, shows not only great intelligence but great courage in his statement to the Associated Negro Press, which says:
"The whole world seems to be like a volcano which may erupt at any moment and bring universal destruction. If there ever was a time in the history of the human race when only words of truth and soberness should be spoken that moment is now. If ever there was a time when we needed to know what forces are really effective to stamp out rebellion and crime, it is now. It is no time for lunatics to me abroad. One must therefore deplore the reported utterances of Senator Williams of Mississippi, to the effect that the protection of women transcends all law, human and divine." It is within bounds to say that is as wild and incoherent a statement as ever proceeded from a madhouse. To assume that the understrained orgy venge and passion is going to protect anybody or possibly is crazy; to assemble that we can protect anybody that ought to be protect by transcending divine law is blasphemous.
One of the minor aspects of this debate in the senate, reported in this morning's paper, if debate it can be called, is the humiliation, every right-minded southern must feel over the fact that a southern man, one we are all proud of, who has been doing valiant service for the League of Nations which represents an effort to bring law and order rightcourness and peace out of the world's welter of war and slaughter should expose himself to the deserved rebuke administered by Senator Ben Bradley, senator from Idaho, may be wronged on the League of Nations, but he told the exact truth when he said that the advocacy of lynch law was sowing the wind to reap the whirlwind; that it could only end in the disintegration of the republic.
This is the practical and serious aspect of the matter. So far as our situation in the south is concerned I cannot conceive of a more perilious doctrine to spread abroad than that we can protect our women by the course recommended. Nothing so fires the southern heart as the appeal to chivalry. Nothing, accordingly, is so dangerous if misdirected. There can be no greater appeal to our sympathies than is presented by the victim of brutal crime. If it were true that we could stamp out crime by the fury of violence, that blazes the way of our redemption. But it is not true, and most awful is the appeal to all that is best in us to work the worst. Satan is disguised as an angel of light.
I challenge the statement of the senator from Mississippi and I appeal to him as a citizen of a great republic whose mission it must be to lead the world between the extremes of autocracy and anarchy; as a member of the law-making department of government; as a man with a brilliant and trained mind, capable of tracing effects to their cause; above all as a Christian and a churchman. I submit to him and to all others the opposite proposition, viz: that there is no protection of our women save in the maintenance of law and order and in the bringing to bear in all our problems the spirit of true religion. I say to him in all solemnity—and if he, will open his mind to the truth he will be bound to believe it—that every such occurrence as that he imperils the safety of our homes throughout the length and breath of the land. Every participant in a church and every apologist for mobs is joining hand with criminals to bring about the unchecked reign of anarchy. hTere is no use in disguising the issue. "If Jehovah be God follow him; but if Baal, follow him." If lawlessness, if revenge, if hatred, be our God, then follow them. Let the United States Congress adjourn and the senator from Mississippi retire to his cotton plantation. Let the Atlanta council instead of wrangling over the necessary taxes to keep our public schools going, disband, having first abolished the public schools altogether; and let the church of the

Living God evaporate in smoke. Let us then all get together on the only proposition which is likely to command universal consent, viz: that Satan, he is the God; Satan, he is the God..
On the other hand, if the true Deity is righteousness, justice and love; if normal and spiritual forces must ultimately prevail; if St. Paul was not crazy, but on the contrary, was inspired of God, when he wrote that "the powers that be are ordained of God," and that he who opposes the state of wielder of the sword of divine justice, is withstanding the ordinance of God and destined to bring the devine judgment upon himself (Roman 13)—if these things be true, then is Jehovah our God. How long halt we between two opinions? There is no compromise possible.
If ever he whom of us worship as "God manifest in the flesh," and all knowledge as the world's supreme teacher, spake truth of the most practical character it was when He said, "Ye cannot cast out demons through Beeelzebub the Chief of Demons." Not "ye ought not," but "ye can not." It will not work. There is a fanaticism in human nature. Retaliation is not limited to the breasts of mobs. It has abundant place and play in thousands of others. "The wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God." Evil begets evil, eW must overcome evil with good. There is no other way. We of the white south have the cholee today of lining up with them. Either the oast of two pilots, Ellen the other of two good aside, or we make us our minds to apply seriously and intelligently all the intellectual and moral and spiritual forces to which is due whatever to progress the world has ever made, and we go back swiftly into barbarian and undo in a decade the achievements of thousands of years. We can mobilize the existing character and good will of innumerable Negro leaders in a sympathetic combination to work with us for the coming of the kingdom ;or we can tie their hands and render them impotent, while the ignorant masses are turned over to radicals and extremists."
DR. GRIGGS BACK IN MEMPHIS.
Was Orator at the National Baptist Convention.
Special to The Express.
Dr. Griggs returned to the city yesterday from Newark. N. J., where he went to deliver the principal address in the National Baptist Convention is said to bring together the largest number of representative Negroes that gather for any purpose, and the honor of delivering the principal address is reserved for the person regarded as the outstanding leader of his race.
Although an admission fee was charged, delegates and visitors so crowded the entrance to the armory where the address was given that four policemen were required to prevent the invasion. The daily papers of Newark estimated the audience to number 12,000 persons.
Dr. Griggs discussed the situation of the Negro race in the world, and gave his views as to causes and remedies. The delegates who returned to the city yesterday state that the impression made by the address was profound and caused Dr. Griggs to be rated as the foremost thinker in the Negro race. His views met with complete acceptance, the tribute to him by the convention being adopted by a unanimous vote. Dr. O. L. Halley, the officials representative of the Southern Baptist Convention, was present and heard the address. He said: "I regard that address as de-

Delegations from all sections of the north and south waited upon Dr. Griggs and extended him urgent invitations to come among them. He accepted invitations to speak in Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City and West Virginia and other places in the North upon dates that will not conflict with his duties to his congregation in Memphis."

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 their herbal remedies. Thoughts of using a scalp cream turned to using Seeby's Quinade, and have been so pleased with the result, that you started using time or money using anything else.
Quinade is not an ordinary pomade; it is highly medicated and is a real scalp nourishes. Quinade nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long, straight hair and will make coarse, stubborn hair soft. It will make coarse, stubborn hair up in the style desired. Quinade will positively allay itching of the scalp; and dandruff, which is the real cause of itching. To get best results from the use of Quinade, one should shampoo the scalp every two weeks with Seeby's or your own shampoo, refreshing feeling to the scalp unequaled by any other shampoo.

Mrs, Pankhurst Believes Great Work
Confronts Women of America,
‘Women will kill bolshevism, is the
prediction that the eminent ’ suffra-
sist, Mrs, Emmeline Pankhurst made
Tecently in New York. “We are
going to put an end to bolshevism by
applying the same spirit that prompt-
ed women to turn out munition and
stand behind the men behind the
guns” she continued. “The same
spirit that moves the women of Eng-
land to accomplish their work in the
affairs of the world moves the Amer-
{ean women, ‘The great work con-
fronting the women now is the up-
Pression of bolshevism.”
‘This is the same motive that has
animated the women of the State of
Washington and has led to the or-
ganization of the “Minute Women’
for the suppression of this menace.

CONDUCTOR OPENS FIRE, GETS
WORST END OF BARGAIN.
Jacksonville, Fla., Oct. 23.—Conductor Raymond Butts, of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, who was shot last Friday by a Colored man who was riding on his train out of Palatake, died about 12:20 o'clock Saturday at St. Luke's hospital from the wound inflicted by the pistol bullet which went through his body. It appears some Colored men were reported to have beaten up an old white man at Sanford, and Conductor Butts, had been notified to be on the lookout for them, as they would likely try to leave on the freight train. Butts, discovering the Colored man, thought he was one of those wanted. The man was named Nat Richards, but was not one of the pair who had assaulted the Sanford man. Conductor Butts thinking he was wanted, took no chances and came from the train that returned it and shot the railroad man in the shoulder, and when he fell fired another bullet into his body.
Deputy Sheriff Meade Hunt went to the hospital and secured a statement from Butts. He said he realized he was in a dying condition and swore to the following:
"I started back to my cab and met a Colored man on the cab steps. I asked him what he wanted, and he started to draw a pistol from his bosom.
"I then drew my pistol and shot twice before he fired. His first shot struck me in the face or shoulder, I don't know which. After I fell he shot me in the buttock.
That is the reason I did not take any chances and fired first."
It was the bullet wound in the buttock which proved fatal to the conductor, as it passed through his body.
Richards, after the shooting, ran to a patch of scrub palmetta, but the conductor lying on the ground fired and struck him in the middle of the back, bringing him to the ground. It is believed he is fatally wounded. He was taken in charge by the Palatka authorities. The two men wanted for assaulting the white man at Sanford were later found along the railroad track by Sheriff Hagan and deputies of Palatka, and one of them attempted to draw a pistol, but was shot by the sheriff with a Winchester rifle. Richards was taken from the Puttman's house by Sheriff Hagan and removed to a place of safety. Hagan having heard that a mob was being formed at Jacksonville to lynch the prisoner. Richards' companion, known as Andrew Jackson, was shot by the sheriff's posse when he tried to draw a gun after the posse had run him down, died an hour later. Richards is wounded, Butts having shot him as he lay on the ground, wounded in five places. Everything is quiet and no disturbance is expected.
WANT JAPS BARRED
Washington, Oct. 23.—The so-called "gentlemen's agreement" between the United States and Japan is being violated by the latter country, declared V. S. McClatchy of Sacramento, Cal., and Miller Freeman of Seattle before the house immigration committee. The agreement provides that no Japanese laborers shall be admitted to this country. The witnesses urged adoption of a policy of absolute exclusion by the United States and the deportation of Asiatics now in this country. The Sacramento witness declared that the situation on the Pacific coast was an example of what would happen elsewhere and would finally result in the United States being made a Japanese providence.
"The question is purely an economic one, not a racial one," said Mr. McClatchy, who assailed the making of the gentlemen's agreement as "a serious blunder."
"The Japanese government is issuing passports under any head except labor," asserted Mr. Freeman. "The only way of solving the problem is by legislation; it cannot be solved by administration of existing laws." Mr. McClatchy said a policy of absolute exclusion of the Japanese because of their economic standards would but practicing a policy enforced by the Japanese in their country against the Chinese and Koreans. The first importation of Chinese laborers into Japan occurred last December, he said, and resulted in the government compelling the industrial concern bringing them to the island to return them in January, at an expenditure of $25,000 of the concern's funds.

with the welfare bills which were defeated at the last session of the New York Legislature, insists that prohibition ranks first in importance because it means protection to the large body of unorganized women in the home. "The Welfare bills will be passed when a campaign of education makes the demand strong enough," said Dr. Boole. "It took 45 years of education to win prohibition. Women voters will bring protection to organized women in less time. The prohibition movement needs men who are leaders, and are not afraid to be counted."
