MOTHER RANSOMS THE BODIES OF HER SLAIN SONS FORGED TO PAY FOR BODIES BEFORE FUNERAL SERVICES COULD BE HELD. Helena, Ark., Oct. 17.—The report that the four Johnston brothers who were outrageously murdered near Helena, Ark., met death in a riot at the latter place, is not true. The four brothers, one of whom, Dr. L. H. Johnson of Cowata, Okla., who was there visiting his other brothers, had been hunting and was peacefully returning home with their game, and were arrested by a white man, supposed to be a friend to the Johnston boys, and told that a race riot was in progress in Helena and advised them not to go in that direction but to return to a point below Helena, leave their guns to avoid suspicion, and take the train for Helena. After considerable persuasion on the part of their supposed white friend the Johnstons followed his advice, trying to avoid trouble that they knew nothing of. When the train on which they were riding en route to Helena, reached Aleine, their good white "friend" lead a mob aboard the Jim Craw coach and with guns drawn commanded the Johnson boys to throw up their hands, according to eye witnesses, and in a few seconds handcuffed three of the boys, evidently not recognizing K. L. H. Johnson as a brether, and marching them out of the train when Dr. Johnston spoke to the men saying: "Gentlemen, those men are my brothers, and I want to know why you are taking them from this train." In reply one of the men said: "If you are their brother you'd better come along with them." To this Dr. L. H. Johnson, retorted, "Well! I will certainly go," whereupon he was also handcuffed and the four forced at the points of guns to get in a waiting auto and hurriedly driven off. That night about 11 o'clock the bodies of the (Continued on page 9) NEGROES LEAVE BECAUSE LAWS NOT ENFORCED Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 30.—Special to The Reporter.—Because of the lynching and brutal murder of three Negroes in this city four weeks ago, hundreds of Negroes have left the city and county, and the are leaving adjacent counties as well. It is believed that approximately five thousand Negroes have left the city and county within the past three weeks. The claim is freely made that the Negro people were not protected by the laws of the state and county at that lynching, and they are never protected in these farming and remote districts. This wholesale movement on the part of the Negro people is not as the exodus of two years ago, only a few of them are going North, East and West, but a greater number are going to larger cities of the South, or cities and towns where big industries are in operation and day labor is well paid. Some of the most substantial Negro families, it is believed, are arranging their affairs and will be leaving Montgomery with the next month. They made no explanation; they simply get on the trains and leave. One of the most surprising acts of the Negro people is that they have, in practical refusal to trade with white businessmen and a large number of them have discontinued the white paper, and will not permit them in their homes. In Montgomery, the delivery boys are all Colored, and it is stated that a great number of them have been obliged to get other (Continued on page 9) The Republican Party Is The Ship, All Else Is The Sea."—Fred Douglas.

The above is a reproduction of the famous "Mural Tripartite" which decorates the lobby of the justly famous Poro building in St. Louis. The unveiling of this work of art was held a few days ago with imposing ceremonies in which Bishop C. S. Smith of Detroit, Bishop B. F. Parks, Dr. Ransom of New York and Dr. Cary of Chicago participated. Mr. and Mrs. Malone, the founders of this building and inventors of the Poro System of Hair Culture, together with Dr. Peck were masters of ceremonies. These three panels represent the Genesis, Exodus and Apotheosis and they are tribute worth while to our Race in America. N. Y. EX-SERVICE MEN PROTEST AGAINST GERMAN OPERA PERFORMANCE. POLICE FORCED TO CHARGE CROWD. RETURNED AFTER FIRST ATTEMPT. HAD PROTESTED BEFORE. By Associated Press New York, Oct. 30.—Mounted police tonight charged a crowd of 300 service men who had massed in front of the Lexington Theater to prevent production of German opera upon which Mayor Hylan had placed an official ban. Dispersed by the police the service men hastened to Times Square, recruited nearly 1000 civilians and returned to the theater. One section of the line engaged in a fight with the police having down a barrage of bricks and a barrage of bricks Fire. Several Shots Fired. In the mulee several shots were fired, but whether by police or the indignant service men, spectators could not determine. Scores of windows were smashed by stones and one marine suffered a fractured of the hip. A block of cement was hurled from the roof of a building opposite the theater. It struck the mud guard of a passing automobile and rolled to the sidewalk, almost striking two police inspectors. Detectives, ordered to the roof, arrested Joseph Smith a sailor from the United States steamship Imperator, on a charge of disorderly conduct. A few minutes later a mounted policeman was struck in the face by a billiard ball. Various posts of the American Legion had adopted resolutions condemning intrduction of German opera, scheduled for tonight.

C., Oct. 30.—Plans for establishment of a free and independent Negro state, partly within the boundaries of the United States, have been presented to the Senate foreign relations committee and the House committee on foreign affairs by Dr. M. M. Madden, *n* Negro attorney of Oklahoma City, Okla., and a special subcommittee of the House committee is to be named to investigate Dr. Madden's plans. Delegates representing each of the forty-eight states in the city in support of the project, having been appointed at the general conference of the Free Will Methodist Church, Colored in St. Louis last August. The project as outlined by Dr. Madden provides for the acquisition by purchase or cession of a tract 500 miles square in Mexico bordering on the Rio Grande river and the SAYS WHITES SHOULD READ MORE NEGRO PERIODICALS SOUTHERN PROFESSOR SPEAKS HIGHLY OF NEGRO EDITORIALS AND UNITY OF PURPOSE SHOWN BY ALL NEGRO PUBLICATIONS. Chicago, Ill, Oct. 30.—"While Congress Burns is of the opinion that many Race newspapers are doing harm, Dr. Robert T. Kerlin, professor of English of the Virginia Military Institute, Lexington, Va., makes the exclusive statement of the Associated Negro Press concerning newspapers. Startling in its frankness and complimentary to the last degree, Dr. Kerlin says: "I am reading Negro newspapers—reading them by the dozen, reading them by the score, from all parts of the country, from half the states in the Union, papers of every kind, secular, religious, fraternal, institutional. Let me tell you some of my impressions—The impression of a white man. "First of all, I am profoundly impressed by the ananimity of these papers in their expression of the wrongs, the discriminations, and injustices practiced against the Col- (Continued on page 9) Gulf of Mexico. It is stated that negotiations already have been instituted within the Carranza government for acquisition of this tract, with extremely favorable prospects. Provided the negotiations with the Mexican government are successful, Dr. Madden states that the delegates, of which he is the head, has received assurance from the state of Texas that a similar tract will be beeded by Texas contiguous to the Mexican tract. This, Dr. Madden stated, assures the acquisition of a tract 1,000 miles square, intersected by the Rio Grande and bordering on the gulf, to be erected into an independent state, in which Negroes would own the land, make the laws and in all respects be free and independent nation. The proposed state, according to Dr. Madden's outline of the project, would bear the same relation to the United States as Canada bears to England. SAYS NEGRO WOMEN HAVE PROVED ABILITY TO LEAD Y. W. C. A. WORKER IS VERY HEARTY IN APPROVAL OF WORK OF NEGRO WOMEN. New York, Oct. 30.—In reporting the work of the oClored Work Committee at the final meeting of the War Work Council of the Young Women's Christian Association, held recently at National Headquarters, 600 Lexington Avenue, Miss Eva Bowles was heatly applauded when she declared that the war gave opportunity for Colored women to prove her ability for leadership, and that she had her chance and made good, and that the time has passed for white leadership for Colored people. Miss Bowles, during her report said: "As we report our achievements we find ourselves facing the future that will test all of our powers and conserve the work already launched, and the problem of promotion is our immediate task. All the problems that faced any girl in war times were ours, together with the more serious problems of race relationship and in campment.

HAYNES GIVES FACTS ABOUT NE-GRO INDUSTRIALLY SAYS HE HAS GAINED FOOT- HOLD IN MANY INDUSTRIES AND MAKES GOOD. Has Made a Good Showing in All Respects Detroit, Mich., Oct. 30.—Speaking here tonight at the Conference of the National Urban League on "Some experience with Negroes in industry in 1918 and 1919," during the period of the war and since, Dr. George E. Haynes, Director of Negro Economics of the U. S. Department of Labor, gave some interesting figures showing the large pass the Negro had taken in the shipbuilding, and seven other typical industries, including the meat-packing and iron and steel industries in which Negroes were largely engaged. His data showed that the Negro has gained a substantial foothold in these industries and that he is making good. Dr. Haynes said, in part, as follows: "In 1910, about one-half of the total Negro population was gainfully employed were engaged in agriculture. Those who were gainfully employed in manufacturing, trade and transportation occupations were restricted largely to the opportunities to work as laborers; that is to say, in those areas where the comparative wages were lower than in other occupations. With the war labor demands, Negroes have obtained a widening scope of occupations. "Here are reports from the shipbuilding industry on the Atlantic Coast, as a whole, for the period of the war and during the reconstruction period up to September 15, 1919. I have, also, data from 30 other industrial establishments covering 7th of the principals industries in 244 comparable occupations. These other and establishments were as follows: 4 in the refrigerating and meat-packing plants, 12 iron and steel plants and manufacturing iron and steel (Continued on page 9) EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE OFFERS PLAN OF NATIONAL DEFENSE FOR NEGROES SAYS HUGE FUND MUST BE RAISED TO COVER COST OF CAMPAIGN FOR RIGHTS. We Our Committee on a Plan for National Race Defense, beg to submit for your consideration the following recommendations: 1. First we recommend a nationwide chain of Equal Rights organizations, knitted together in actions by states formed into state equal rights bodies, or leagues; said state leagues to be composed of the federation of all local leagues in the respective states; all joined together in a national body, to be by the race and for the equal rights and self defense of the race against injustice, all race segregation and violence to the race; all of the above named bodies to be kept in touch with a national head-quarters. 2. We further recommend that all rules, plans and instructions for organizing local and state leagues be furnished by the league and from the National headquarters. All literature giving instructions relative to organizing and running state and local leagues must be supplied from national head-quarters and all such state and local leagues must be governed by instructions given in such literature. 3. Further, we recommend the raising of a League Fund, to be known as the Race Defense Fund, to be raised primarily from race individuals and race organizations, said (Continued on page 9) THE DALLAS EXPRESS, DALLAS TEXAS, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1919. : LET THE HOME INDUSTRIAL TAITORS DO YOUR TAILORING We make your suit in any description right here on ourowa premises for $20 and up.

In the last few months several new corporations have been organ- ized among the leading busines men of the race. ‘The United Commercial Exchange, a $60,000.000 concern that ‘will deal ‘in the Wholesale and retail grocery and general merchandise business, will open its doors to the public on or before the 15th of No- vember.

It is the plan of this company to establish stores in all of the larger cities of the state, and later, tovopen up a wholesale store to supply the various ‘branches. SENATOR WILLIAMS STILL CRITI- CIZED. Charlotte, N. C., Oct. 23.—Leading newspapers of the South continue to denounce Senator Williams of Mis- ‘siasippl for his recent defense of lyn- ching on the floor of the United States Senate. One of the most re- cent is the comment from the Char. leston, N. C,, Observer which says: “However, it must be admitted that Senator Boarh, even though he may be a “South hater” had the better of the argument for once, so far as At concerned the quest one of the right and wrong of lynching. It is to be regretted that Senator Williams ‘weakened and spoiled his defense of the South by going too far. The dest people the thinkers and the representatives and leading citizens of the South are with the Mississippe Senator when he defends this section against the attacks of those from other sections who would make tt appear that the South alone is the land of Iynchings, but they cannot endorse his advocacy of lynching. Every time such a leader as the Mis- sissippl Senator publicly advocates lynching he hurts the South more than it is hurt by its enemies. “The great majority of the people of the South stand for law and order. ‘There are courts of justice, and no matter what crime is charged against a nian, whether white or black, he has the constitutional right to be tried in a court of justice, according to law. When the mob takes the law into Its own bands it tramples the dignity of tho courts and the majes- ty of the State under its feet. No ‘good can come of such a course, but irreparable harm. “Senator Williams when he stands in the Senate Chamber and approves ‘and advocates lynching is not voicing the sentiment of the Southern people; ‘he is misrepresenting them. ‘There- fore the South would be better off @id he Keep his mouth closed when lynching is the subjoct under dis- cussion. Of course, there aro those in the South who will endorse his | position, but they are in the minority. ‘The great majority of the rank and file of the people and of the leaders in the civic and industrial life of the ‘section. deplore mob violence, from Whatever cause. ‘They agree with |Senator Borah and approve his re- ‘puke of Senator Williams, when he sald; “Considering the ultimate wel- fare of the human family, there can |be no justification for, the lynching lof any person, and the man who ‘preaches it is sowing the wind that Teeps the whirlwind no matter how [black the skin of the vietim may be.’ | SPRAMSHIP PROMOTER SHOT. New York, N. ¥., Oct. 23.—Marcus Garvey, the promoter of the Black Star Line Steamship, is in the hos- pital in a critical condition, having been shot in the head by a Negro who claimed he had given Garvey $60.00 toward purchase of stock for & grocery.

Although the United States can not participate in the initial stages of the league's work, it is understood that the decision has been reached that Wilson issue a call for the first meeting of the council of the league with the fifteenth day period provided in the treaty for the appointment by the council of three members of the boundary of the Saar Basin. Article five of the covenant provides that the decision of the council "shall require the the league represented at the meeting," and it is held here that this does not specifically require the attendance of an American member to legalize such decisions. No less than fifteen commissions created by the peace treaty appear to require American participation and certain plebisites confirming title to various disputed territories also are to be conducted under a joint international control. The present view of the officials here however, is that representatives of Great Britain, France, Italy and possibly Japan whose ratification of the treaty is expected daily, will function in these matters without any challenge of the legality of the proceedings on account of the absence of the American representatives. Plans for the inauguration of the league were discussed by Colonel E. M. House during his recent stay in England, and he is understood to have pursued the work as far as he felt warranted in advance of the action of the Senate on the treaty, it also is understood that quarters for the league sec retariat in Geneva tentatively have been obtained, and while in London Colonel House is believed to have arranged with the representatives of other nations a tentatives program for the first meeting of the league. If Colonel House's health permits, he is expected in Washington perhaps next week, and it will then be in order to frame the call for the first meeting of the council of the league, which President Wilson's physicians are expected to permit him to sign. In the view of official here, this first meeting of the council must arrange for the appointment of the various commissions and the plebiscite described in the treaty, but aside from that, its proceedings are expected to be rather limited. Later on, if this initial stage is safely passed, and the Senate shall have consented to the ratification of the treaty the President will issue a call for the first meeting of the assembly of the league, which will be in Washington some time early next year. OVER A MILLION FOR NEGRO RURAL SCHOOL HOUSES. Nashville, Tennessee has followed Mississippi's example in appropriating funds for a Colored agent to assist in supervising Negro educational work. The growth of Colored country schools through the aid of the Rosenwald fund has much to do with the sentiment behind this appropriation. These Rosenwald schools are found in every Southern state; and the increasing sums given them by the states, by local white friends, and by the Negroes themselves, show their value as estimated by both races. Mr. Rosenwald has given to date $312,000; the states have added $354,000 from public funds; white friends have given locally $88,500; and the Negroes have given $443,000—a total for school buildings in excess of ordinary appropriations of $1,197,500. Where these funds are given lengthened terms and better teachers are necessary. Care is also taken, through the improved teaching force, to connect the school closely with the home life of the community. Tuskegee reports that the effect of these schools is to deter migration to cities. This operates by broadening the home life and educational opportunities for the children, and by relating Negro youth more intelligently and efficiently to country living and country work. It is believed by close observers of both races that no Southern investment of recent years will pay a better return to the agricultural South in dollars and cents than the money spent in developing these schools. A PATH TO INTER-RACIAL PEACE. Austin, Texas.—The St. John's Missionary Baptist Association, covering eleven Texas counties, has issued a statement warning their people against "preachers of disorder and race riot." They especially protest against a certain type of Negro newspapers published at the North, but with the circulation in the South. These papers, the Association asserts, THE DALLAS EXPRESS, DALLAS TEXAS, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1919. WOLF BROTHERS Hair Straightening Outfit No more breakage of lamp chimneys.

Senate Ave., Indianapolis, Ind., U.S.A. "magnify the wrongs and minimize the good" in inter-racial relations. They who "brandish before the eye incendiary articles at this time are enemies rather than friends of the race." The Association will on this basis, and try to launch a national campaign to promote apologists who would promote race antagonisms and in favor of a better understanding between the races. Such a movement must win the approval of all thinking whites: but it will effect little without white backing and co-operation. If white people and newspapers will in like manner refuse to "magnify the wrongs and minimize the good" in Negro life, and will frown down the kind of talk which makes for mutual discontent and bitterness, both sides of this terrible problem may be met. Such a course will prove the same Negro leaders the backing to the good they urgently need, and will insure the fulfilment of the Association's prophecy that the races in the South "if left to themselves, will, in time, adjust all differences to the good of all concerned." CHURCHES FIND RACE PROBLEM NATIONAL NSCOPEM New York.-The Negro migration has brought new problems to both white and Colored churches in the North. The migrant, though church members as home or not easily assimilated by the Colored church at the North; and this failure to form new ties creates problems for both the white mission boards and the Colored organizations. A committee of the Home Missionions Council, a body representing profestant America, has made a general survey of several states in both sections. Their report shows that in three western states—Michigan, Ohio and Indiana—there are 130,000 Negro migrants, sixty per cent of whom are estimated as church members at home; but only 12 per cent have unitwith northern churches. They are mostly country folk, used to emotional preaching and haphazard methods of finance. Northern Negroes consider them ignorant and shiffless, white to the migrant Northern Negroes lack true religion. White churches have done "practically nothing" to counteract the serious conditions following this lack of understanding, either by missionary endeavor of their own, or by co-operating with the Colored churches in meeting the urgent need. The report gives housing conditions as bad, clean recreation hard to find the night schools unprovided for. In the cities the race feeling is rarely acute; but in many smaal towns previously without colored population race bitterness is rapidly developing. The committee recommends united work by the Northen white churches to collect information and to arouse local white churches and denominational boards to co-operate with the Colored churches in programs to be worked out to meet local needs. Among these community centers for Colored people are recognized as pressing. These would be operated by the Colored churches with the moral and financial backing of the white organizations, as has been so successfully done at some points in the South by the Southern churches. The Council proposes a conference of all its constituents boards, North and South, to consider the race question from a national standpoint as it affects the Christian churches of both races.

THE DALLAS EXPRESS has never hoisted the white feather, neither has it been disgraced by the yellow streak. It is not affiliated with the flannel mouth. It is a plain, every day, sensible, conservative newspaper, which trims no sail to catch the passing breeze; flies no doubtful flag. It professes a patriotism as broad as our country. Its love of even handed justice covers all the territory occupied by the human race. This is pretty high ground, but we live on it and are prospering. Boys of the press come up and stand with us. This ground is holy. W. E. KING. OUR CHURCHES. In the proposed building of two new churches by our people in this city we see the continued desire for the service ministry of the gospel of Christ among us. It is as it should be. No individual race or nation can go far in the doing of real, earnest and lasting service without the guidance of the Father of the Universe. We feel that as a race our deep rooted belief in the Supreme Being is shown in that peculiar quality which enables us to sing when in trouble and remain cheerful under the most trying circumstances and we intend for it to remain so. The new St. James and the proposed new Bethel, will mean much to Dallas and our people. First because they are to be model modern church buildings, equipped with all that goes to make worship a pleasure and not a burden. Secondly because they are going to represent the brain, skill, talent and education of Negroes for organizing and cooperating. And thirdly because they show the progressive and responsive ideas of our people toward that which both conduces to material prosperity and at the same time lasting good to all men. These churches will represent thousands of dollars in capital owned and controlled by our people. In all probability, in the case of one it is now a fact, they will be planned and erected by Negro contractors and architects. And last but not least their cost and maintenance will be borne by black congregations. Taken as a naked fact, this means much. It does not mean that we are independent, far from that. No race or nation on earth is sufficient unto itself. But it does mean that we have so learned the lesson of thrift and industry that our desires have increased and we glory in their success, which shall allow ourselves and coming generations. It means that while we are seeking for ourselves a goodly subsistence and favorable surroundings we do not forget to furnish for the Maker and Creator a place of worship commensurate with our general scheme of existence which has been made attainable for us by His mercy. It is well however, to fully realize that better facilities mean increased duty to ones fellow men. Better churches mean more opportunity for ministering to the needs of those not directly connected with them in any way. As edifices increase in size and splendor of equipment they must also increase in service to men and the communities in which they are. They must mingle more fully in the society of their several neighborhoods and their messages must contain that which helps men to do and grow here on earth. They must have their natural tendencies directed and sent into channels of usefulness and we feel that it is no more than fitting to teach Christian, civic and social uprightness toward all men from pulpits. Civic and religious Dallas will be benefitted by these churches. There is an old adage which says, "You may have whatever you desire, but you can't govern the price you have to pay for it." That saying is true and generally when men get what they want they pay dearly for it. The number of a man's wants and desires determines to a great extent whether he is rising or falling in the scale of civilization. It has long since been conceded that the environment of an individual is largely responsible for the part he will perform in the world's great drama. That which is true of the individual is also true in a larger sense of races because a race is merely a collection of individuals of common descent. It is also apparent that this environment of which we speak consists not only of those favorable or un favorable conditions which nature may offer man to promote or impede the reproduction, sustenance and perpetuation of his species, but also the environment that man himself exercises in shaping the destiny of his fellow man. As civilization increases in its complexity these artificial environments also increase in strength and influence. The effect of natural environments decrease as man rises in the scale of intelligence, and becomes more prepared to combat them. At the same time the restraining hand of organized society rests heavily upon the individual, in order to control his behavior that it will not interfere with the happiness and prosperity of his fellowman. Hence in this age of highly organized society, the most important influence exerted upon an individual or race is the environment which his own species the human family has reared around about him. Especially has this been true of the Negro race. His natural environments other than those which had stamped themselves indelibly upon his character before coming in contact with American life have played a very insignificant part in moulding the Negro of the 20th century. The moment he landed on American soil a slave, the controlling influence that shaped his destiny was the whim and caprice of his masters. The niche into which he was forced in American organized society is responsible for the many delinquences for which the race stands condemned as hereditary. When individual or a race is robbed of the power of voluntary action is no longer accountable for its behavior. The person or race which assumes this most important function of the human being may be likened to the fool who rushes where angels fear to tread. Such was the terrible responsibility which the forefathers of American democracy so lightly assumed when they began the traffic in human souls. souls. When the South unblushingly asserts that it knows the Negro best and is best prepared to deal with the race problem, it again graples with a responsibility scarcely less formidable than that so lightly assumed by its ancestors, who dared again to resurrect the institution of chattel slavery after Christianity had decreed that it should be forever banished from among the sons of men. Since Democracy has been established for the world through the shedding of rivers of blood and the sacrifice of millions of human lives, must any portion of this great nation which carried the fight for democracy to the very gates of militarism and autocracy now hesitate in applying this great principle without reservation to every class and race throughout its broad dominions? Will the South assume such a responsibility in the solution of this most vexing race problem? Shall the mistake of her ancestors that brought ruin to the fairest portion of this great Republic be repeated by the present generation? Shall the American people learn through the South that the protection and prosperity vouchsafed by democracy is a myth and can be denied to any portion of the American can people who are unable to secure justice through the influence of public opinion? If justice and opportunity can be denied the Negro it can be denied any other race or class of people if public opinion should so shift as to permit it. In securing justice for the Negro you secure the perpetuation of justice for the whole American people. If justice be denied the Negro it is thereby denied to the American people because the Negro is part and parcel of this people. The ethics of the dust teach us that no nation can long survive the day she sets her face against both human and Divine justice. Egypt, Greece, Rome, Russia, Austria and impregnable Germany have learned by experience that governments rest secure on justice only and not upon their great navies, standing armies and well organized defenses. The cry for justice will not down at the bidding of the smoothed tongued diplomat, nor the frantic stamp of the capitalist, nor the threat of union labor, even if its organizations encircle the globe. The lessons of history teach us that these artificial powers of man, like the ambition of Shakespearean philosophy, contain with themselves the elements that will eventually lead to their own destruction if not based upon justice. If America would survive the ages, she must build upon the secure foundation of justice to all mankind. The ethics of the dust offer no other course with promise. America may utterly destroy the Negro as she has the American Indian but behind her will stalk the headman. Before the altar of justice must all governments of the future do homage. It is our hope and prayer America will be the greatest among those nations who worship at this life perpetuating shrine. May she weary not till all the races of the universe kneel there by her side to receive the sacred blessing—justice. We heard a pastor say last Sunday that God had never sent a special blessing upon any lazy man. We bear him out in that statement and go still farther by saying that neither does the world have any pity upon or blessing for its lazy and indolent citizens. The man who cares so little for himself that he will not provide for himself finds little consideration in the eyes of his fellows. The world maintains itself by exertion when they fail to produce results men also, though they may be carried by the general tide of prosperity for a while, finally are dropped because they are found to be non-productive. We know that we are rising and not going backward. The signs of the times tell us that as a race and as individuals we are more than keeping up. We are really forging ahead. Our corporations, business concerns and general enterprises by their rapid increase in number give us to know that we are entering into the spirit of American civilization and culture. The success of any man is founded upon his belief that he is master of his environments and surroundings. Confidence in one's own ability has won many battles against seemingly overwhelming odds. Dare to try to be and to do and even in failure you will win the respect of your fellow man. When one goes out in public he should be conspicuous because of his quiet manners and general courtesy. Loud talking and boisterous actions simply proclaim ones ignorance and lack of breeding. Remind your friend of that when he gets too loud. Newspapers are no longer an experiment. They are here to keep you acquainted with the outside world. The more you read, the more you learn. It pays to be greedy for knowledge. Buy more papers and read them. The cause of panics and of general unrest may nearly always be traced to under production as compared to consumption. The thrifty man always produces more than he consumes. Are you thrifty? The weather is changing. So are the prices of wood and coal. You know Texas weather. Don't let it catch you unprepared. Beggars and paupers as such never become the shapers of the destinies of anything, not even their own. Have you paid your poll tax? No. Do it today. THE MIRROR OF PUBLIC OPINION THE SPIRIT OF INSUBORDINATION. Recently a jurist, in defending the courts, said that outbreaks of violence and riots, such as have been so frequent in all sections of the country of late, do not indicate loss of confidence in the courts on the part of the people. Persons have been lynched whose punishment by the courts nobody doubted. The jurist declared that it indicates something much worse than that. It reveals a general defiance of law and unwillingness to submit to discipline and rule. It shows a general tendency of every man to "gang his ain gate." It reveals a spirit of insubordination which is rife in the world, not alone in this country, but probably less here than in many other lands, though worse here than in some. This is not shown by riots only, but by strike of the nature of many that occurred and of two that are now in progress, that of the local unions in some of the printing trades in New York and the strike of the longshoremen. Both of these, like the mine strike in Southern Illinois recently, are in defiance of the authority of the higher bodies of which those local unions belong, and this defiance is prompted by the spirit of general defiance of law and restraint. There is in this spirit great danger of the country, danger to all organized society. There can be no organized society that is not founded upon law and submission to law. That submission may be voluntary or forced, but unless it is voluntary it is not healthy, it is not democratic and it is not permanent. Voluntary and loyal submission to law and the will of the majority is the very fundamental of democracy, and democracy is the very essence of organized society, because until man has reached the stage where he does what is right because it is right, he is not yet civilized. This wave of defiance of authority and repudiation of agreements that fail to suit the makers must be checked if industrial peace is to come. It will make little difference what the Washington Conference agrees upon if the workers will not live up to the agreement or if the organized bodies which make the agreement and are responsible for them are unable to enforce their authority. They have no way of enforcing it save by the enlightened submission of the workers themselves to the authority created by themselves and representing them. Our problem is much deeper than that of agreement upon a working system between capital and labor. It is the problem of bringing our people as a whole into a truly democratic state of mind, to a realization that civilization is founded upon order and submission to law, and that its highest form is an order which results from the will of the people themselves, to which they loyalty adhere. This is the world's problem, no less ours as a democracy of long standing than that of newer so-called democracies. We must not only return to that general state of mind which respects law and authority, properly constituted, which we had before the war, but we must advance to a still higher manifestation of it if we are to have genuine democracy and either industrial or social peace. -St Louis Globe Democrat (Steubenville, Ohio, Gazette) Even the Turk outlaw in Arkansas with much satisfaction. They will no doubt ask if this is the same America that is praised in verse and song as the "land of the free and the home of the brave." How's this from Ohio? (Hickory, N. C., Record) Are white men who make the laws and administer them afraid to trust themselves? Have we reached a point where we must insist on summary vengeance, even if we have to murder the officers sworn to uphold the laws we make; even if we have to burn court houses and jails? Have the American people no more respect for law and order than to do these things. It is time for every American citizen to consider these things? Human life, black or white, will not be safe anywhere unless there is a change for the better. (Dayton Journal) Dayton, Ohio, Oct. 30.J"The white has very much of which to be ashamed in its treatment of the Negro, and, as it was the white race that for years held the Negro servile and ignorant, it should encourage rather than discourage Negro education and welfare. The entire Negro race must not be condemned because of those brutes who inflame sentiment by committing atrocus crimes. These individual Negroes should be given the extreme penalty of the law, after due process, and not by lynchings, but the innocent should not also be made to suffer. The greater portion of the Negro race today is sober, industrious and anxious to further the education and well-being of the race and deserves encouragement and not persecution." Raleigh, N. C., Oct. 30.—In view of the action of certain communities to try to solve the Race problem and bring about adjustment through methods of strife, animosity and hatred, the observation of the Releigh News Observer is very pertinent and worthy of consideration. In a leading editorial this paper which is one of the most influential in the South says, "The disclosures from various sections of the country would indicate that outside influences are trying to stir up strife between the races and also of such other sections as have a considerable Negro population. It is not the Negroes who are doing this, but that disturbing element that appears to be in evidence in almost every field of social relation that is open to the work of the proselyter. "It is to the credit of the vast majority of the Negroes of the whole South as well as of the North, that they are realizing the situation, and trying to hold their lines against any such doctrines as are preached by the disturbers. But enough seem to be influenced to permit disturbances here and there, and each clash awakens a bitterness that at this time is unfortunate. "Intelligent Negroes and intelligent whites understand that race animosities positively get nowhere. Neither race profits by strife. The only way difficulties can be disposed of is by conference with each other, and by peaceful and patient methods on the part of each. The thoughtful man sees that the relation of the races has been growing steadily more tolerant of the differences that separate the two and that the white man, with his greater wealth and ability to help has been helping the Negro to make steady advances in all directions. The thoughtful Negro sees this as readily as the thoughtful white man does. Both see that impatience, allowed to break out in strife, defeats all that is hoped for by either white or black. The movement started in Raleigh last week among the whites and the Negroes is one that gives promise of the greatest good to both races, and it can be studied and supported to the everlasting benefit of all. White man and Negro together must work out the situation, and together, and with both working with regard for the other's welfare. But to try work it out in war will be in a manner wholly barren of any desired results, and so disastrous that it is not to be thought of of any desired results, and so disastrous that it is not to be thought of for a minute. NEW YORK DOCTORS WIN VICTORY; TO BE ADMITTED TO HARLEM HOSPITAL. A Crowning Victory for the United Clyde League Six years ago the United Civic League started its fight for Colored internes in Harlem hospital, and each year since then the organization has made Colored internes in this hospital a campaign issue. The League continued to hold conferences and send committees to meet Bellevue's board, under whose supervision the Harlem hospital property comes, until they were definitely promised that Colored doctors would be admitted. T. Wright is the first of the Colored doctors to be appointed. Others will follow. The League is now seeking to have Colored women entered as nurses. Honorable James D. Carr of the corporation counsel's office, lent much valuable assistance to the League in bringing about this civic achievement for Colored Harlem. WHITE MAN CHARGED WITH RAPE. Winston-Salem, N. C., Oct. 30—nI the Superior Court the injury in the case of J. E. Cline, charred with criminal assault upon a young woman a few weeks ago, was declared guilty in accordance with the bill of indictment, which means that the defendant will be sentenced to electrocution. His counsel, however, has given notice that an appeal will be taken to the Supreme Court. Cline did not go on the stand. The plaintiff's story was to the effect that she resided with her parents near the home of the defendant; that on the morning of the day the assault was made he invited her to ride with him down street, she going to her work; that after leaving in Cline's car he proceeded to go out via Walkertown and on to Madison, regardless of her protest. She charged that she was assaulted twice. Despite the fact that the white man claims that the Negro race is one composed of rapists, there have been noted recently in this state not less than five cases of assault of this character in which white men were charged with the crime, within a period of four weeks. COLORED RETAIL GROCERS ORGANIZE AND PLEDGE THEMSELS TO NEW RACE ENTERPRISE. W. C. Reid, a wealthy Real Estate and OL Man, Heads Movement, Muskgoose, Okla., Oct. 30.—The Colored merchants of this city met in the officers of W. C. Reid Tuesday night at the invitation of Mr. Reid to discuss a proposed plan to launch a wholesale grocery store to be owned, operated and controlled by members of the race. Practically every Colored retail merchant in the city were present and took no little interest in the proposed plan. The meeting was presided over by W. H. Twine, prominent lawyer of this city. Each man present expressed his views on the matter and at the conclusion of an open discussion the merchants organized themselves a Retail Association, L. Higginbotham being elected president and H. Field secretary. This organization will meet again next Tuesday night at which time the organization for the wholesale grocery company will be formed. It is generally understood here that W. C. Reid, who is considered very strong financially, is father of the proposition and that he will be heaviest financial backer. This enterprise, if successful, no doubt will furnish employment for several members of the staff, will be of much help to Colored retail merchants not only in Muskogee, but many other places in the state. FOUND GUILTY OF ROBBING CONDUCTOR AND NEGRO. John Mier, 23 years old, 4,929 Page avenue, and Fred Mysch, 22, 2642 Park avenue, were sentenced to five years each in the ePentitient yesterday by Judge Wurdemann in the St. Louis County Circuit Court at Clayton after they were found guilty of robbing a street car conductor of $28 last July 15. The holdup occurred on a Market street car at the loop in Richmond Heights. H. Wilford, a Negro living at 18 North Leffnwell avenue, was the principal witness for the prosecution. He identified the two prisoners and told the jury that they robbed him of 25 cents and then told him to "beat it back to the brush" while they riffed the pockets of the conductor. Wilford also told the jury that he had received a letter from Mysch promising a reward if he would testify in his favor. This letter he later produced. —St. Louis Globe. NEGRO RACE RIOT SUSPECTS BREAK JAIL IN ARKANSAS.

Peoples was arrested at Winchester, headquarters of the Negro organization, several days ago. He was known among Negroes of Winchester as "a United States detective." THE DALLAS EXPRESS.

PAGE FIVE Colored Man Turns White Colored Man Turns White Los Angeles, Cal., Oct. 30.—The unusual instance of a full-blooded Negro assuming the light shade of the white race is exhibited in the person of Henry Beal, seventy, a resident of Venice, who came to California several weeks ago from Chicago. The only evidence that Beal's new white epidermis once was solid black, according to Drs. C. W. Craig and I. L. Magee of Venice, are spots on the backs of his hands and a band of dark circling his cranium from the upper lip to the roots of his hair. Partly due to blindness, and partly to his surprising transformation, which took place three weeks ago, he remains in comparative seclusion. He is in perfect health. NEGRO AND MEXICAN FIGHT PISTOL DUEL. Pueblo, Colo., Oct. 30—Chas, Duff, Negro, aged 28, and an unidentified Mexican, about 40, killed each other in a pistol duel in a pool hall last night. The duel was the result of an argument over a play in a game of pool. The Mexican drew a revolver and as Duff turned shot him through the back. The Mexican then made a dash for the door. Duff fell as he was shot, but raised up on his knees, drew a pistol and shot twice at the Mexican, killing him instantly. Duff died a few minutes later. NATIVE OF EGYPT STUDIES MEDICINE AT MISSOURI U. Columbia, Mo., Oct. 30.—Thousands of miles of land and sea were no barrier to Mohammed Hamed El Driny when he decided to study medicine at the University of Missouri. El Driny is a Mohammedian. His home is in Cairo, Egypt. When he decided to study medicine, El Driny sought the advice of a countryman of his, Joseph Bey Salem, who had attended the University of Missouri, Salem recommended Missouri, and a little more than a month later El Driny had passed through London and New York and was in Columbia. El Driny likes Missouri, but prefers the people of his own country because they are "more polite," he says. He himself offers evidence of the politeness of his race, serving cookies and a glass of water, or perhaps a cup of tea, to his visitors. El Dirny is attending college here at his own expense, and has remarked that "it is very, very dear" here, as compared with the high cost of living in his native land. He will be visiting his six years. Before coming to Missouri he was as secretary of a lunatic asylum in Cairo. A NEW RACE PUBLICATION. At last a real magazine, edited by Negroes, published by a Negro company especially for Negroes has sprung into existence almost overnight. A publishing company with headquarters in Pittsburg, has been incorporated, having for its personelle some of the most prominent men of the race and with sufficient capital back of them to guarantee success, for the purpose of issuing the most pretentious race publication ever attempted. This new venture in the publishing field, "THE COMPETITOR" will compare favorably with Hearst's, Colliers, Metropolitan or any other of the better publications in both appearance and literary merit. Its Staff of Editors and Contributors comprises the names of many of the best known and most influential men of the race. Well known Statesmen, Educators, Churchmen and Financiers all combine to make it a publication of exceptional merit. Robert L. Vann is the Editor with the Hon. Emmett J. Scott, Eugene Knilee Jones and Walter S. Buchanan as Associate Editors. On the Staff of Contributors appear such names as William Anthony Aery of the Hampton Agricultural Institute, C. E. Askew of the First Baptist Church of Raleigh, N. C.; Calvin S. Brown, Principal of the Waters Normal Institute; Romeo L. Dougherty, the Dramatic Critic and Journalist of New York; Hon. William Henry Harrison of Chicago, Ill.; John R. Hawkins, Educational Secretary of the A.M. E. church, James Weldon Johnson, Author and Field Secretary N. A. A. C. P. J. E. Jones of the Virginia Union University; R. R. Moton, Principal of the uskegee Institute; Prof. Kelly Miller, Dean of the Howard University; T. C. Stewart, Chaplain of the Wilberforce University; Walter J. Singleton, noteworthy Washington journalist; Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, President National Federation Women's clubs; Hon. Robert H. Terrell, Judge of the Municipal Court of Washington, D. C.; Mary Church Terrell, the former President of the National Federation Women's Clubs; Lester A. Walton, Dynamic Critic and Journalist of New York, and American inimitable comedian, Bert A. Williams With this line-up of merit, talent and influence back of it there can be absolutely no doubt as to the new publication becoming at once the most influential of all the Negro periodicals in America. There is a well-defined place for it, and it will be well worthy of that place. OUR NEW HOME PENDLETON AVE. ST.

Oct. 23, 23, 1919 The National Race Congress which has been in session here during the week closed last night, going on record of advocating the unrestricted ballot in the hands of every American citizen, the protection of all under the law, and wiping out of Jim Crowism. There were present representative men and women from 21 states, and much interest was manifested by them. All sessions were held in the Metropolitan Baptist church, of which the Rev. Dr. M. W. D. Norman is pastor. The opening sermon was preached last Monday night by the Rev. E. A. P. Cheek, of Newark, N. J., National Chaplin, and then followed the opening on Tuesday morning, presided over by H. J. Herron, the president. "America" was used to open the session, and the prayer was made by Dr. Cheek. Commissioner Louis Brownlow, extended welcome to the delegates as did M. K. King, and Architect J. A. Lankford. Bishop I. N. Ross, D. D., of the A. M. E. church made the opening remarks setting forth the work of the Congress, advocating the abolition of "Jim-Crowism," the use of the ballot, proper treatment of the race, and setting forth the kind of race that would be selected. The race would not follow the hand-selected leader, but would take unto itself the right to select the leader and would cast aside those selected because they could be used as a rubber stamp. He wanted real men, fearless men, men who would contend for the rights of the race on all occasions, and would not sell out. He deplored the recent race riots, and declared they were coming to the end of the race, that the law-abiding element of both races should get together, and that some action be taken by them toward minimizing such dangers in the future. The feature of the day was the annual address by Dr. W. H. Jernagin, of Washington, who touched every phase of the work done and to be brought before the people. He outlined plans for the work which would accomplish great good for the race if carried out. His recommendations were adopted, hence permanent headquarters will be established, and sections for racial development will be brought into life. In this, there will be a department of transportation, of commerce, of race adjustments, of franchise. Among the noted speakers during the session were, Dr. T. J. Goodall, of Savannah, Ga.; Bishon G. W. Clinton, of Charlotte, Ga.; Dr. C. C. Smith, of Memphis, Mich. Dr. W. J. Macas, Merridian, Miss.; Rev. P. J. Bryant, Bryant, D. D., Atlanta, Ga. I Mrs. R. Hawkins, Washington, D.

Sir:—We notice in the Times Tribune your articles concerning the next Republican State Convention, in handing down your decision you very clearly state that you do not want and will not have an participation from the Colored Republicans, being a national committee man of this state, we suppose you know just what you are talking about, we bone on at least. Now Sir, we want to ask you a few questions from your article. It doesn't seem that you attended the National Convention, June, 1896, at St. Louis, when this question was settled forever under the leadership of Marcus Hannah and you were set down on with an iron hand, never to raise this question again, but it seems that you do not consider the decision of the Supreme Court of the Republican party. Now, Sir, we indubitably have been so well with some one, or at least of men, that it there you authority. Was it agreed that you disregard the 14th and 15th Amendments of the Constitution of the United States, and go into the wholesale business and disfranchise more than four million voters of this country. Sir, on your trip east where we suppose you compromised upon this particular question, did you notify the Colored citizens of the States of Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois, West Virginia, Maryland, Indiana, Ohio, New York and California, where there are thousands of our voters, that they would not be needed next year in the election. You say in your country, when you speak to all and the Colored Republicans of Texas, will supply the different States of our people with your statement because it would not be right that they should be misled. Sir, let us here say that we are now at Perfect Peace in the State of Texas, we intend to pay our poll tax and locally we intend to join hands and assist them to elect the very best men to office and we believe by the Colored people acting right manly they will give us a good government at all hazards. Sisir, in the Republican Primaries of next year we warn you now that we will be there in full force, and if any Colored Republicans are chosen to the National Convention and we believe they will be sent to the National Center at Chicago or wherever it may be they will vote for the strongest candidate that the Northern Republican predicts. With sixty two Colored Delegates in Convention at St. Louis, 1896, sixy-two voted for Wm. McKinley of Ohio, one who the country said made this country a model President and was so confirmed by the Nations or earth. In the republican Convention of 1900 there was no confusion every delegate voted for Wm. McKinley and in 1904 every delegate voted for Theo. Roosevelt, and four years later Mt. Taft was nominated without any trouble. What brought about the trouble between Mr. Taft and Roosevelt we can not say, but it was not the color question that did it. Now Sir, isn't it a fact you and your constituents have been carrying this color question on for the last twenty-six years? Haven't you and your constituents oftimes said to the Colored Republicans of Texas, if they would give to you all full control there would be enough Democrats come over to the Republican party which would enable the party to carry the State. This we have done for twelve years. Have you given a Congressman from this state since? No, but prior to this time you did elect one or two You write an insult to the Negro race of the United States. You did see Sir, a sure thing loses? Do you remember how Connell and the trigger the very same trigger and deflected Benjamin Harrison re-electing Grover Cleveland? Now Sir, 750,000 of the Southern Colored people have moved to the states mentioned above and we are going to have fair play in the next Republican Convention or else we will supply them and our always remained in these states with your statement here mentioned above. I guess you know what it means. Now Sir, there is not a Colored Republican in the state of Texas who wants your Federal Judgeship nor the Collectorship, nor the Marshalship of any district deputy. But the boys are going to see to it, I mean a part of them just from a field of battle in the midst of a great war the next State Republican Convention will be dealt fairly and squarely with regardless of creed or color. You say this is not our country. Will the true Southerner say that? I don't believe he will! Will Sir; When they found us turned over to them from the state of Massachusetts and other Northern states they found us bare-footed, bare-head without speech of the English language. They clothed us and brought us down in this country; we found it a wilderness nearly four hundred years ago and we have made it a THE DALLAS EXPRESS, DALLAS TEXAS.

In 1898 under the leadership of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, the 9th and 10th salvage put the whole of Spain in aerial flight, and planted the American Flag on San Jaun's Hill in Cuba; yet you see this is not our country; and in 1918 under the chief command of the arm of President Woodrow Wilson, the present President, dressed them up in the uniform of this country and told them that he and the nation had been insulted and immediately ordered them to France and there they were notified of their common enemy; this brought about the settlement of which Germany's General discovered the so-called Gorillas in that country an American soldier. The general made his flight to Holland and told Kaiser to make his escape for the Gorillas were coming. He did, Peace was declared, every since he has resided in Holland, yet we have no home or voice; so National Committeeman of the State of Texas. JOHN C. CLEMONS PROFIT IN RACE PREJUDICE. New York, Oct. 30.—In his report to the general convention of the Coopers' International union General President Hughes urged the delegate to realize that employers were making race prejudice between white and Colored coopers profitable. The unionist showed that the manufacture of slack barrels was largest in the south and that the product of this unorganized territory is shipped into northern markets and comes into direct competition with organized northerer cooperage plants. "We must bend our efforts," said President Hughes, "toward unionizing our Colored coopers and stabilize in a comparative war their wage and working conditions. "We recognize the Colored cooper equally as a producer of cooperage and guarantee to him the full protection of our organization on all matters affecting his daily working life." AFTER INHERITANCE TAX ON ASSTOR'S 50 MILLIONS. New York, Oct. 30.—The State of New York will attempt to collect an inheritance tax amounting to millions of dollars from the estate of William Waldorf Astor, who died Saturday in London. The attempt will be fought by Charles A. Peabody, attorney for the Astor interests, who stated today that Viscount Astor had transferred his entire property here to a trust company as trustee for his two sons, before his death. Eugene M. Travis, state comptroller, declared that the one point on the tax imposed on the effort to collect a tax was that Astor transferred his property "in anticipation of death." If this can be proven, Travis said, the state can collect. The Astor property in New York had an assessed valuation of $50,000,000 in 1916.

The Mayor issued an order prohibiting the performance, but, despite this order, the sale of tickets continued. Hundreds Gather at Theater. Hundreds of soldiers, sailors and marines gathered in front of the theater and when the doors opened they raised a howl of derision and anger. Then with the American flag a little ahead, a long column of uniformed men wung down the street. At their appearance a call for police reserves was sent in. The service men were led by a marine wearing a Croix de Guerre. A few minutes after the curtain had been raised and the stains of German music sifted out through the doors, the veterans pressed forward, only to be driven back and temporarily dispersed by mounted police. In learning that directors of the Star Opera Company intended to give the performance regardless of his order, the Mayor issued a statement in which he said that he had directed the police not to interfere with the opera "until I could obtain the advice of the corporation counsel to the end I may proceed legally."

MOTHER RANSOMS, THE BODY OF HER SLAIN SONS (Continued from page 1). four brothers, were riddled with bullets and mutilated with knives or other sharp instruments, were found by the roadside. They had been murdered in cold blood! The perpetrators of this grosse atrocity then issued a statement to the effect that one of the Johnstons took a gun from a deputy sheriff and killed him, causing the posse to fire on the four brothers killing all of them instantly. Mrs. Mercy Johnson, mother of the unfortunate four, who lived in Chicago in a home purchased for her by her sons, was at the time in Pine Bluff, visiting relatives. She, accompanied relatives and friends, her heart all but breaking over the sad occurrence, went to claim the bodies of her beloved ones that she might at least pay a mother's last tribute, even though that should be in tears. and heartache, but rank insult was added to injury when she was compelled to pay a ransome for dead bodies. She paid the price, however, and followed the remains to their last resting place in Little Rock. The funeral was the biggest and most impressive ever seen in that city. No man was quite strong enough to look upon this terrible great wonder is that any black should witness such scene and be free from that which make men desperators. After the funeral Mrs. Johnston with her oldest son William, who the time of the tragedy and did not arrive in the funeral, left for oweita, Oka, home of Dr. L. H. Johnson, who was the widow before the estate of her son and his two fatherless children. It is thought she will take up her permanent residence there. One of the boys, Leroy, had seen two years' active service in while serving as bugar for the 15th New York regiment. Dr. Elhueh, the dentist, was a very successful man and owned nearly half of his home town. All of the Johnston were considered of where-ever they were known. The uncalled for murder of the foe and brave Americans will forever be buried blot, not only upon Arkansas, but upon the people of the United States. —Tulsa Star. DR. HAYNES GIVES FACTS ABOUT NEGRO INDUSTRALLY products, 7 foundries, 4 automobile and automobile accessory plants, and 1 plant, each, in the manufacture of coke, carbons, and glass. The number of Negro men involved in shipbuilding on the Atlantic Coast during the war was 24,647, and in the period since the war, 14,075. In the 30 other industrial establishments, there were 36,436 men altogether made up of 32,394 white workmen and 4,092 Negro workmen. We have here, then, a body of facts and figures which give some indications as to the part the Negro is playing and the record he made in industry. "During the war, the war of the 24,647 Negroes in the shipyards, nearly 4.962 (or 20 per cent) or or five out of every hundred were in skilled occupations. "Negroes in skilled occupations in shipbuilding as a whole have held their numbers and shown less decrease since the war than those in unskilled occupations as a whole. This is clearly shown in that Negro workers in all skilled occupations decreased only 20.7 per cent or five out of the hundred workmen, while the unskilled Negro workers decreased about 48 per cent since the war, or nearly one-half their previous number. "These figures as a whole, however, are firm ground for decided encouragement. For they show that not only did Negro workmen furnish a large share of the labor in the shipbuilding industry the war, but that they entered into the skilled occupations in very large numbers. "In 30 industrial establishments other than shipbuilding, constituting the principal, typical industries in which Negroes are employed, they not only were admitted, but, when the circumstances are considered, they compared with the white workmen in the same occupations on the score of turnover, absenteeism, quality of work done, average rates of pay and average time put on the job during a payroll period. They have made a good showing. They have fallen somewhat behind their white fellow workmen on a few points. On most points they have kept along side of them and in some cases have gone ahead of them. "Negro workmen have made this record during the past two years in the face of the fact that in nearly one-half of the establishments they did not have unrestricted opportunity to enter any and all occupations, and they could not learn the work of advanced positions and enter and retain them on the basis of their ability to compete. Although handicapped in this way, they have made a showing which says in no uncertain terms that the Negro can make good industry. Yes, he not only can make good, but, in the face of many handicaps, he has made good. Finally, we have seen this handicapped Negro workman pushing forward to his tasks on very friendly terms with his white fellow workmen and gaining day by day the confidence of his white employer." Tribune To Get Modren Plant (Continued from page 1). other additions of a minor nature made to the job department. The installation of the new machinery and other improvements will make The Tribune office one of the largest, if not the largest, individually owned Negro printing establishments in the country. The demands on the job department have been unusually heavy for the past year or so and the added facilities to the plant will make it possible to take care of this work with case. It is the plan of the establishment to increase the size of the newspaper as soon as the new perfecting press is installed. The acquisition of another Lintotype machine will make the Tribune the only Negro printing office south of Nashville with two machines of this kind. NEGROES LEAVES BECAUSE LAWS ARE NOT ENFORCED AND THEY ARE NOT WELL PROTECTED (Continued from page 1). Jobs because the Negro peoples are refusing to receive the papers. It is current in the city that the white insurance companies are losing from eight hundred to a thousand policy-holders every day, and if the feeling continues, it is believed that there will not be a Negro in Montgomery County carrying a mutual benefit or an industrial insurance policy issued by white companies. Some of them have been in the companies for a number of years, but because of the treatment given race members, the Negroes freely state that they will not be insured by a people so unreligious and unjust to the helpless members of their race. Says Negro Women Have Proved Ability For Leadership (Continued from page 1) acute and the most picturesque of war time activities. 2. The Colored girl as she entered the industrial field. 3. In communities affected by camps and cantonments where abnormal conditions affected the life of the girl, here were organized club and recreation cents. "Today this committee with the other committees of the National Board is facing the great problem of reconstruction. The giant task that lies ahead now that the world has to hate slavery for democracy is to hate slavery for democracy. The Colored women leaders, still ready to do their part. The war has given opportunity for the Colored woman prove her ability for leadership; she had the chance and she made good "With all the strength of having suffered she will be able through the patience born of suffering to lead the women and girls whom only she can lead. The time has passed for white leadership for oClored women in the place and Colored women we must understand the other; we must think and act, plan to work for upon all of us rests the responsibility of the girlhood of all nations." Says Whites Should Read More Negro Periodicals (Continued from page 1). ored people by their white neighbors and fellow-citizen. Never. I think, did so many millions of people constituting a racial unit exhibit a solid front, such unanimity of feeling and purpose. Their reaction to lynchings and the riots of which they have been the victims—to the shame of white America—has been that of one outraged and tortured soul, heroic in fore boreance in suffering. Then I am impressed by the force and resoluteness of the Colored people's contention—also put forth with absolute unanimity—for justice, for opportunity, for national rights, and for all that as human beings and patriotic Americans and loyal citizens, they are entitled to "Such are my impressions, not to proceed further in stating them, that I wish the white people of America generally might go to reading your papers, and do so with a serious mind to get your point of view, to learn how you think and feel on the subjects that so vitally concern us, to know what measures you have to propose to bring about better racial relations and an improvement of conditions with prevention of mob violence and lawlessness. Out of such reading would certainly spring a better understanding, atoning sympathy, saner and surer co-operation. The number of questions for us as a nation today is racial adjustment. The present condition of distrust and hostile feeling, ill disguised if not open and violent, is intolerable to all self-respecting and human-hearted people. It is utterly opposed to Americanism and to Christianity. I for one, take my stand for justice, for humanity, and for a square deal. Simply because it is right and following the promptings of my own heart. "Another thing I wanted to say about your papers is that they display no little editorial ability, and reflect credit upon the race. Their editors are often worthy of the ablest white papers—congent in reasoning, temperate though resolute in tone, uncompromising yet dignified in demands, throughout showing intellectual strength and moral conviction. "A general reading of the best Colored weeklies could not but greatly benefit the white people and produce good results for all America." WHO PAYS THE ROAD TAXES! Jones owns an automobile assessed at $400.00. He pays a license fee of $10.00 to the State, $5.00 of which goes into the road maintenance fund of the county. He pays $5.00 advalorem tax to the State and county, about seventy-five cents of which goes into the road and bridge fund. Smith owns a small farm assessed at $400.00. He pays $5.00 advalorem tax to State and county, about seventy-five cents of which goes into the road and bridge fund. The county builds a road past Smith's place. The cost of the road is paid by the Smiths at seventy-five cents each, and by the Jonesses at $.75 each. Jones' property wears out in a few years, while contributing $5.75 a year to the road which makes Smith's property grow in value and to which Smith's cents a year. At the very best the money mobile is worn out in seven or eight years, while, because of the good road which Jones' automobile built, Smith's property has increased in value from twenty-five to one hundred per cent. It is not fair to ask Smith to make a larger contribution to this road fund even though the burden be continued on Jones? The proposed Constitutional Road Bond Amendment would enable the legislature to take from Smith twenty-five cents a year to add to this building. It would take away from Jones an additional twenty-six cents a year. Would this additional levy be a burden to Smith? DR. ABNER PRESIDENT OF THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY. WOMAN LEGISLATOR IS URGED TO RUN AGAIN. Mrs. Anna L. Saylor Urged to Accept Nomination on the Republican Ticket. Mrs. Anna L. Saylor, of Berkeley, California, one of our four women elected to the California Legislature in the last general election on the Republican ticket, receiving an overwhelming majority, made such a record for fair and just legislation that clubwomen from her district are uniting in an effort to secure her promise to stand for re-election. In years gone by women's clubs in California have generally made it a point to keep out of politics. The Twentieth Century Club of Berkeley, however, one of the well-known women's clubs of California, is plunging boldly into political seas; and at a recent conference adopted resolutions asking Mrs. Saylor to stand as a candidate for re-election to the State Legislature. Mrs. Saylor is a strong Republican, with progressive tendencies which have appealed to her feminine constituents, hence their desire to re-elect her as their representative. COST OF TEXAS MUD. The average farmer who owns an automobile pays three or four times as much for tires, repairs, etc., on his car than he pays in taxes. Good roads would save him nearly half his auto expense, and these roads would be less than his saving on his auto, to the extent of his hores, mules, wagon, harness, and greater than all, time moving his crops. PAGE·NINE OMAHA TO HAVE BRANCH OF YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION. Central Association Plans Extension Work on North Side-National Y. W. C. A. Worker in City Making Survey Interviews Many Prominent Business, men and Women Who Favor Project. Omaha is to be one of the forty or more cities where a constructive program for women and girls is to be followed. As the city west of the Mississippi river which has the largest Colored population, her need for work of this kind is evident. It was with much satisfaction that Omaha welcome Mrs. Cordella Wynne, National Y. W. C. A. secretary, who recently to make a survey of the needs and possibilities of our community. And upon her recommendation, and of directors of the Central Y. W. C. are to take up this extension work among women and girls. This is the first of the many possible branches the central association might have here. New York City has a large metropolitan board doing extension work all over that city with 27 branches doing work among all girls—Polish, Bohemian, Italian, French, Negro, and embracing the thickly settled districts of the entire suburb. Omaha is to have her first branch which will no doubt be situated on the north side easily accessible to the majority of our girls. Mrs. Wryne who met while here many people representing all the various interests expressed herself as pleased and encouraged by the possibilities for the work she saw here and the disposition of the people to rally to the support of the project. In speaking of the work of the association, Mrs. Wryne said: "The Young Women's Christian Association is a movement world wide in its scope and embracing in its sisterhood all girls of every race and creed and color. It has a constructive program proven and tried by fifty years of service to women and girls, reaching all sides of their life and ministering to them in mind and body and spirit and well as answering their need for group activity making them a social force for the extension of the kingdom of God. Recreation that is re-creation as well as play is at the foundation of the program of the association. "To make the girls who will be the women of the next generation fit and worthy mothers will be a worth while contribution of any community to the sum total of the nation's life." CHICAGO WOMAN BELIEVES IN GREAT PRINCIPLES HELD BY REPUBLICANS. Must Not Depend on One Man. Practical in politics as well as in everything else, Mrs. George W. Plummer, executive secretary of the U. S. Training Corps for Women, of Chicago, Illinois, insists upon knowing "where she is going" before blinding following a political party, and in a recent statement made clear why her allegiance has been given to the Republican party. "In the first place," says Mrs. Plummer, "I have confidence in the history of the Republican party and I believe in its principles. I prefer the Republican party to the Democratic because the Democratic party stands is a party of one man. The Democratic party has not departed from its open benets, but it seems to be a party to together by the greatness of one man, not by great principles and strong men who believe in those principles. "I believe in democracy there should be leadership of its great men rather than the leadership of one man. In a democracy it is unsafe to depend upon one man. In an autocracy it is all right, for one alone is held responsible for what occurs, but in a democracy we should depend on the wisdom and opinions of a number of great men rather than upon the individual opinions of one. "President Wilson is the man who knows where the Democratic party is going; the others accept his dictates and follow blindly. I cannot do that; I want to know where I am going and what I am being led into. I was and am progressive; the Republican party is progressive, its principles are just and forward looking; it represents what I believe in and stand for, as I am enrolled in its ranks."

C., Oct. 30.—The feeling that race trouble might develop here as a result of statements alleged to have been made by the Rev. Bachelor, pastor of one of the Negro churches in this city, diminished considerably when it became known that the Negro preacher had left the city. The situation had been tense. Some level headed members of his own race went to the Negro preacher and advised him to leave. N. Gassaway, principal of the Reed Street school, up on request, tendered his resignation, which was immediately accepted at a special meeting of the board of trustees of the city schools. He has been advised to leave town also. Bachelor is said to have come here about six months ago from Rochester, N. Y. Gassaway has been living here about twenty years. CENSUS MACHINERY GETTING IN ACTION. Washington, D. C., Oct. 30—Sixty-five former soldiers and sailors have been appointed supervisors for the Fourth Decennial Census, according to an announcement issued today by the Bureau of the Census. "The Census Bureau was particularly glad whenever it found a former service man for the job of supervisor," announced Director of the Census Sam L. Rogers. "Most of the applicants who qualified, however, were of more mature age and of broader experience than the majority of soldiers and sailors." Three women appear on the list of supervisors, one having been appointed to serve in the State of New York, one in Texas, and one in Nevada. This is the first time in the history of the Census Bureau that women have been selected to fill these positions. Of the 372 supervisors chosen approximately 100 are lawyers. Ex-service men come next in numbers and editors rank third with more than 40 appointments. Farmers are represented with about 25, while educators, numbering about 20 run the farmers a close race. Several physicians have undertaken the task of collecting Uncle Sam's statistics, and likewise a great many business men. Each supervisor appointed had to undergo rigid tests as to his fitness for the position, especial stress having he laid on character and experience. "No man was appointed a supervisor for the Fourteenth Census," said Mr. Rogers. "Until every possible guarantee was given as to ability and honesty. Character was at all times the leading and predominating consideration with the Census Bureau in every appointment made." REV. BOYD DELEGATE TO WORLD S. S. CONVENTION.

ACTIVE IN TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA FOR MANY YEARS IN EDUCATIONAL WORK AND REAL-ESTATE BUSINESS, J. B. MeCulloch died at his home in Muskogee, Okla., Wednesday after- noon, October 16th. He had felt the approach of a nervous breakdown since early summer, but did not give up his work until four weeks before hig death, “He was sisty-elght years: ol With him during his last tlness were his wife, a brother, Henry Bow- ers of Clarksville, ‘Texas, and six of his children, Mrs, Mattie’ J. Bostick of Nashville, Mrs, Lula B, Carrington of Chicago,’ Wynn D. McCulloch of Omaha, Stewart S., of New York, David ‘and Mildred. He was buried Sunday from Ward's Chapel A. M. B. church. J. B. MeCulloch was prominent in school and church work in Texas, for many years before moving to Oklahoma, He was born in Clarks- ville, Texas, June 12, 1851, and after the close of the war xot his early education under the most trying con ditions. When the first Reconstruc- tion school opened its doors in Clarks~ ville for Negro boys and girls he was there to make his start. But the instruction given in this school was meagre, and he would not limit him- self to what was offered there, Al- though only a boy of fourteen and. compelled to earn his own living, he| studied every book he could obtain’ and thus, at the age of eighteen, was able to begin teaching a district school, one of the first of his race| to teach school in the county. He was afterwards graduated from the’ State Normal at Prairie View, taught in Wiley University, and then went back to Clarksville ‘to become prin- cipal of the Colored schools. He was the principal there eighteen years and during that time he was the leader in educational work umong his people in the county, was for a. number of years a trustee of Wiley and on many occasions was appoint- ed to conduct summer state normals, In 1897 he established a school for Colored children, largely at his own expense, in a community adjacent to Clarksville. ‘This school became the center of a thickly settled com- nminity which afterwards was made a part of the town. To church work he gave a large part of his time, thought and means front the days of his early manhood. He joined the Methodist Episcopal church in 1881 and was a leader in getting the church established nm Clarksvile. For more than fifteen years he was chairman of the Board of Trustees and Superintendent of the Sunday School and was frequent- chosen to represent his church at the annual and general conferences. He moved to Muskogee in 1901, and engaged in the real estate and insurance business. Muskogee was then in the first stages of its growth and J. B. McCulloch was among the men of his race who took the lead in acquiring city property, providing for Negro business enter- prises by erecting substantial brick buildings, and opening up new resi- dential sections, For a number of years he was the largest holder of eity property of any member of his race in Muskogee, ‘The present Ca- nard addition to Muskogee is due principally to his efforts in those early days. He was one of the or- ganizers and a director and officer of the first bank established in Musko- gee by Colored men, the People's Bank & Trust Company. ‘At the time of his death he was a mémber of the African Methodist church and of the Knights of Py- Shtaae tania.

Later her husband discovers the deception as does a young man who has ‘peoome interested in the unhappy wife. ‘The husband chokes her in his rage. Later he is found dead. Man; are suspected and then ‘Stone enters, solves the mystery of dual character and the mystery is solved. The twe young people find their happiness together.
