The bodies were then thrown into Guyandotte River. Island Creek is in the Guyan County field region and Chapmanville nearby. The Negroes, E. D.

The Hotel Stater was moved to St. Louis, and at last the permit was given. The opposition started from headquarters of the American Logon of the University of Missouri, and was made on the mayor and police to prevent the meeting on the support of the organization. The delegates made to Colored Ex-Soldiers, Attorney Robert L. Owens, commander of the Tom Powell Post and the members refused to act until the organization had objects of the organization. The decioso was also reached by the executive committee of the combined organization, and action was misrepresented in a St. Louis poster.

WOMEN GIVEN VOTE IN PHILIPPINES Manila, Dec. 7.—(By Cable).—The equal suffrage bill, giving women full political rights with men, was passed by a practically unanimous vote in the Philippine Senate and sent to the House. The Philippine is the lower branch of the Philippine Legislature on the question of woman suffrage is believed to be about the same as in the Senate. It is practically certain, therefore, that the Filipina will soon have the vote. Present indications of the vote are, even best here. This prospect means that the Filipino woman, who has been more or less in the limelight ever since American occupation of the islands, is the only woman in the country who has been in the spotlight more than ever. The Filipino has many admirers who predict she will make good in her new role, just as she has made in the very important role that she has occupied in the family and business life of the country. In the same direction of Christianity since he is a three centuries ago. “America’s advent in the Philippines discovered a wonderfully interesting, responsive little being, the Filipino woman, of the little country, of the young the Filipino. “Mothering the only Christian people in the Par East, she holds a place of authority, love and respect in family and social life that is not accorded to women in countries neighboring the islands, or in India, China or Japan and the Philippines.” The Filipino woman is by custom the detator in the home. She is usually the keeper of the family treasury. All revenue, no matter by whom earned, is turned to the people who have earned their money, and she has the final say as to how it is to be spent. In business, it is the verdict of the foreigners in the islands that the women do business nearly on Western principles. Practically all American families are conducted by the Filipina r Poll Tax CHECKS FOR XMAS SAVINGS TO BE ISSUED. NEGROES WILL RECEIVE FROM ALL SOURCES NEAR $125,000 Savannah, Ga.

NORFOLK NEGRO BANKS PAY OFF XMAS SAVINGS (Associated Negro Press) Norfolk, Va., Dec. 25.—The two Colored banks of Norfolk and Portsmouth, Va., distributed $180,000.00 on the 10th and 12th of December of their $8,000 members of the Christmas Savings Clubs. Placing a hundred and eighty thousand dollars in the hands of our group in any city is no small item, and institutions that can do that for our people within a week are real factors for thrift and uplift among our group. The Down's Savings and Banking Company of Norfolk, was the first Colored bank to inaugurate the Christmas Club, who saved $10,000 which was handed to them on the 12th. Their 1920 club opened the same day with a flattering outlook. The Mutual Savings Bank has recently moved into its new home where every feature of the bank is new and the most modern obtainable.

This club has nearly a thousand members already. This bank has reached the $500,000 mark in resources. Business League Opens National Headquarters Washington, D.

KESSLER PRESENTS STRONG AP- PEAL AT THE LOUISVILLE CONFERENCE (Associated Negro Press.) Louisville, Ky., Dec. 25.—The joint conference of social and industrial welfare organizations in session in Louisville brought forth many notable utterances from able speakers in ministerial and school circles concerning present-day welfare problems. Dr. Kessler, a Southerner, educator and sociological student for the past thirty-five years in Southern universities, presented illuminating views of the Negro problem. "A race war will never be precipitated in the South by the Negro if we let him alone," the speaker said, "Neither the Negro nor the whites in the South desire race equality. It is only a few radicals among the former and few disreputable politicians among the latter who will ever cause any trouble in this direction." The Negro is conservative. He is a patriot by nature, and loyalty is spontaneous and temperamental in him. Inter-racial war may threaten JACK JOHNSON TURNS BULL FIGHTER SCORES KNOCK-OUT ON SPAN- ISH BULLS. Mexico, City, Dec. 27. - Jack Johnson, toadore premier. By such auspicious title is the former heavyweight boxing champion of Mexico, Lil' Arthur made his debut in the bull ring this afternoon before he was two times, almost to the count, on prowess in a knockout over two large bulls after a real fight, during which he was twice, almost to the count, on prowess in two occasions by clearing the high wall of the enclosure with an enarmour tovs horns close to his body. Jack was given a great ovation across the ring. He scored a victory over the of the bull fighter and appeared attired in a stiff collar, shirt sleeves, and ovaled sport shoes. A flashy multi-colored torcader's cape was thrown about his shoulders. His head was raised, and he was imitating the "million dollar smile as of old." The wife wife sat in a rinsed box and, in accordance with the custom of bestowing the cape on the lady of the torcader's choice, Jack bowed his head. The bull entered and Jack waved a red flag. The bull rushed him on old-time clearerawes. The ball however, found an opening and charged at the mid-section of his Colored opener, then went down. After several more rounds Johnson rammed the spear between the front face hammers and the back. Some mistake was made by the "stage hands" and the second bulb plated responding to the applause. He was still bowing in low graceful sweeps when the new bulb charged, leap and landed in one of the boxes. This exhibition took all the fight out of refusing to be anything but congenial when John Arthur returned to the ring. An assistant spared the anatomy of the ring, and around as if to spot a sponge that he might toss in the ring. Jack finally became exhausted trying to pick a fight out of the bull and exiled in a riot of applause. AFRICAN PRINCE AT BOSTON UNIVERSITY. Boston, Dec. 25. - Stephen Balfour McOiron, a mofice of an African royal family, is represented among the student body at the college of liberal arts.

He lives among us we must give him a chance, not by tips and charity, but by a proper recognition of his worth. just treat him as an advantage greater than now offered him. He is to stay here. He touches every department of our life. He does to do is get him right related. OLD FORCE BILL IS REVIVED PROPOSES INVESTIGATION OF VOTING CONDITIONS. Washington, D. C., Dec. 25.—What in effect amounts to a revival of the old force bill is threatened in the United States Senate with the introduction of a resolution by Senator Moses of New Hampshire for the apportionment of the Senate committee of five members of the House to investigate voting conditions in the several States. The resolution provides that if it found that the representation of any State in the Electoral College is inadjusted, the right of eligible citizens to vote, recommendations shall be made for the Electoral College from the offending States. A report by next July last, is provided. The resolution is clearly aimed at the Southern States, where it has been notorious that representation is based on population, including Negroes, but that the right to vote is denied. The force bill has been before the Congress, and the previous attempts made to push it through, but these attempts were always unsuccessful. The Southerners in the Senate. Now, however, the Senate has a cloture two-thirds majority could be obtained for the adoption of a cloture in commenting upon his resolution Senator Moses said he had been much impressed by the political virtue demonstrated by the Grand Jury at Grand Rapids, where a partisan Department of Justice introduced a flock of indictments in connections with the last Senator in Michigan. "It is refreshing," Senator Moses said, "to observe the tremendous enthusiasm of the Democratic party in the state, to be a great pity to allow this divinity afflict to subside without devotion to the country. The corruption of the Michigan electorate, if any occurred, is most distressing, but it is no more distressing than amputation of the electorate in the Southern States." heard so much about America at home, so we came over here instead of going to England.

(Associated Negro Press) Glenn Falls, N.Y., Dec. 25, 1986, the "Land of the Pathers" is attracting world-wide attention. The rest of Col. Young, to Liberia has aroused general interest, and occasionally, as the Glenn Falls, N.Y. Post Star, the truth about Africa is told. It is known that: "The Jews" return to Palestine is of profound significance from several points of view, but the increasing interest of the Negro race in Africa has not received so much attention. The sionless of the Jew is paralleled by the Aesthetic of the Negro. Africa is the Nezraes continent of origin. The last history of the race has many noble points. Ancient and learned civilizations were erected by Negro leaders and created by their nations. It was only when white civilization with its rum and vices touched the shores of the African continent that it was created to abduct him into slavery that a stigma of inferiority was placed upon him. However, he violated his human rights. Now, a new concession of solidarity among the Negro race and a new appreciation as the land of their future development is trading between New York and Black Africa. A company called the Black African Trade Company is creating a line of twenty-four ships, of which the first is named Frederick of Negroes to exodus of Negroes to Africa, but there will be a general increase in the number of Negroes of America and the continent of their origin. The future of Negro race promises to be active." NEGROES ADVOCATE CLOSING NEGROES "CLUBS" IN HARTFORD, NEGROES Hartford, Conn., Dec. 25. "If such a thing is possible and could be brought about, I would like to see two men who have known each other men who have caused so much trouble to the community and given black eye, deported, either to the places in Georgia where they came from, or sent somewhere away from Georgia," said Brown, employed at the Boston Branch. Brown is one of the active members of the Colored men's club, and he put it to the toleration by the authorities of Colored men's clubs to be backed by Rev. Richard R. Ball, pastor of the A. M. E. Zion Church and Joan M. Cunningham, citizen Mr. Brown, the originator of the deportation idea, estimated that there are about 3,500 Colored people in Hartford at present, of whom some 790 were brought here from Georgia in 1917 to help pick peaches. Some of this class stayed. Others returned to their Souther homes. But later came back to Hartford in large numbers. "It is this class of Colored people," said Brown, "who have caused all the trouble. They are always in trouble and their actions not only harm themselves, and get them into all sorts of trouble with the police but reflect on the whole race. Rev. M. Ball said that he saw little need for sending back the Southern Colored men and did not favor the idea. He attacked the gambling houses and said that, not only dens operated by Colored men should be closed up, but also those patronized by white citizens of Hartford. $2,000,000 DRIVE ON FOR NEGRO UNIVERSITY.

MUST USE CARE IN BUYING POLSON FOR BOLL WEEKV. Success Depends Largely on Caution in Purchasing Materials Essentials That Calcium Arsenate Must Contain Labeled Beetle Cotton Fabric to Control Insects—Testing of Samples. When a farmer goes to buy calcium arsenate for boll-wearwollen poisoning he should look carefully at the label. It should be printed on the label that specifies the dosage without the indication of lime or any other carrier. This is the urgent action of the boll-wearwollen specialist of the United States Department of Agriculture. If it is neglected, they say, the farmer may get maternal worms or that will kill his cotton. Poisoning, they continue, will control the weevil, but the whole scheme is seriously imperiled by careless buying of poison. Much of the supply offered last year was worthless or worse than worthless. Many concerns are beginning the manufacture of calcium arsenate, and there is danger that there will be even a large percentage of unsatisfactory material than last year unless care is exercised in purchasing. As many farmers are already making their purchases, or will shortly do so, now is the time to exercise such care. The farmer should not try calcium arsenate merely because it is labeled or sold as such, the specialists say, but should buy calcium arsenate by specification. It should contain not more than three-fourths of 1 per cent of watersoluble arsenic pentoxide, on account of danger of burning plants. It should contain not less than 40 per cent total arsenic. If it contains much less it will not control the weevil. Its density should be between 80 and 100 cubic inches to the pound. Otherwise it will not make a satisfactory dust cloud and the plants can not be treated successfully with it. In order to be certain that the material is suitable for cotton dusting the farmer should, as shortly after making purchases as possible, take a sample from the laboratory of the Bureau of Entomology at Tallahasla, Ia., for examination in the laboratory of the Bureau of Entomology to be taken from at least three packages. A safe rule is to take a sample for every 10 package. Each sample should be taken from the information as to the source and history of the material should accompany the samples. The well-well-well weevil, poisoning the specialist point out, depends on observance of these precautions. The specialist point out that the species that measure of care would be wise not to attempt护理 at all. TEXAN BUYS THRIFT STAMPS DAILY. Austin, Texas. Dec. 25. -Senator E.

Mr. Harriet Taylor Upton, of Ohio, Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton, of Ohio, member of the National Committee Miss Mary Garrett Hay chairman of the Women's Executive Committee Miss Mary Garrett Hay chairman of the Women's Executive Committee, and Mrs. John Glover South chairman of the Women's Division of the Republican National Committee. The keynote of all the speeches was co-operation of women and men in the fight against the same sentiment which was emphasized by Miss Hay, when she said, "I do not believe in the laws for women only and women also. I believe men and women are equally interested in the same conditions that the same laws—everything. Let us have cooperation of men and women in the same conditions. I will stand for what we think is right." Hon. Will H. Hays, chairman of the Republican National Committee, said he would vote to supply the safe, sane and balancing anchorage for this country in the home for the family. "I look to the women to support the men in their national imitation to stem the tide of socialism," said Mr. Hays. "I know that women, in their first national exposition, will show their inmate and continuing reverence for that on which rests the life-law and order and progressive stable government. As it is, only security and peace and life-law and order and progressive stable government. As it is, only security and peace and life-law, most importantly they will rally to those principles which guarantee the integrity of our society." "The Republican party offers the women everything it offers the men, and the women it offers the party in that the rights of participation in the management of the party are sacred and sacredly equal. The Republican women in the country can be trusted and well-bounded in many states this has long been so. In the presidential election hope and well-founded judgment that it shall be so everywhere. The Republican party activity not as women, but as women, is just as important, just as other voters." UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, BUREAU O F CROP ESTIMATES. The Texas Cotton Crop. By F. N. Gray Texas Cotton Crop Houston, Texas, Dec. 25, 1919. An ultimate estimate of the cotton practically the same in number of bales, as last year, was obtained. The cotton suffered skins throughout the cans, from extremes of weather in the area. The only opposite character in application to area affected. Last year, because of the high percentage of half of the State made little cotton, while the east half, with necrosis, moisture, made splendid splendid cotton. The sturts throughout and multiplied insets of every known kind, the easiest to grow, were equal proportion therefrom, as did the western belt last year from ex The late date of killing frost, as of November 12, materially added to the loss of the State of unaffected by insects. Pickling has been most unusually deterred, but weather in nearby districts, such as the December 1st, account of heavy cost, shortness of labor and high cost of picking, amounting to an annual cost of $100,000. The estimate for Texas, of 2,700,000 bales, 500 pounds gross weight, is based on 1,293,240,000 pounds of lint, picked from 9,948,000 acres, of 10,755,000 acres estimated planted and standing June 25, which shows an abandonment of 7 per cent since that date because of inability to cultivate account of continuous rains.

AGGARD CHARGED WITH BITING OFF OPONENTS EAR. THE DALLAS EXPRESS, DALLAS, TEXAS, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1919. You might shudder when you suddenly confronted a water monitor in the jungle. Not so the native, hunting its eggs and rejoicing to get near such treasures. The monitor is equipped with a long forked tongue, extending from a sheath like a snake's. It is one of the largest of existing lizards, reaching a length of seven feet, although its nearest relative, the gigantic Australian monitor, grows from twelve to thirty feet long. The monitor lays twenty or more white, soft-shelled eggs in hollow trees, and in Burma these bring a much higher price than hen's eggs. "The monitor is well fitted for its life," says a writer in the Scientific American. "It is a swift runner, able to overtake the speediest mammals, frogs, turtles and snakes on which it feeds. It often startles hunters by crashing through the jungle, making as much noise as large game. It climbs trees for squirrels, birds and their eggs. At other times it may be found digging along stream banks for the eggs of the crocodile, of which it is most fond. Either in running or swimming it can leave its enemies far behind. It surprised when up a tree it drops into the water, swimming with powerful strokes of its flattened tail, which acts as oars and rudder. When being captured it fights with teeth, claws and tall. The natives term the monitor "Kahara-Goya." Although it is hard, it is non-poisonous, it is used to protect snakes and non-poisonous animals are experts in brewing a deadly poison termed "Kaharabi." They extract poisons from venomous snakes, adding arsenic and other toxic chemicals to their man skulls. And here the monitor comes in as a part of their supervision. They tie three monitors on three sides facing the fire. Then they move the monitors to make them hiss to cause the fire to blaze up. The natives believe that the hiss of the monitors adds to the poisonous quality of the deadly fire. Making Airplane More Handy. From Dayton, O., from whence came the news, at first incredible, that the problem of mechanical flight had been solved. The authorities said as hard to believe, that there has been invented and successfully tested there a propeller for airplanes that has sometimes been used by the motor organs of birds. The natives of the new propeller is it ed back in its place. The surgical feet was considered successful. After hearing all the evidence, the court held Aggard in $1,000 ball for trial. LIZARD EGGS HIGHLY PRIZED Those of the Water Monitor Are Exeamed a Delicacy in Many Parts of Malay Peninsula.

It is important to meet the aviator's will or need. If this has been done without introducing weakness that goes with compass and altimeter, it will be improved on airplanes, especially at the enormously important moment of starting and alighting, will be improved exponentially. Already wonderful things are done with these machines, but the sparrow that flies to and stops on a telemetry device will be something at which the most skillful aviator hitherto has looked in hopeless envy. An airplanner with movable vane would permit the emulation of the bird's achievements in rising and alighting is not obvious, but it certainly would be a step toward the ideal Of Course He Wants Money A Course He Wants More A German teacher a young Englishman was living when the war broke out has now sent to the boy's father a bill which the German government demanded his departure, on the outbreak of hostilities, was hurried, as can be imagined, and he was for long quite German. Now his proud parent is reminded that not only did the boy own something for board when he went to Germany, but counted a contract to continue boardingILL the end of the scholastic half year. Also, he requests to request a contract, which the German professor prefers, artificially to that of his own country. The episode is not quite as funny as an Englishman, for the broken contract for lodging and board received do create a debt, but the plan for reimposition for the broken contract is native in the true Teutonic way—New York Prehistoric Culture in Ohio.

Underneath the HOW TO CATCH ELEPHANTS Some Suggestions Made by African Paper Would Seem to Border Slight'y on the Ridiculous. Half the inventors in England seem to have set to work on the problem of capturing or destroying the Adobush elephants. One man wants to drive a train through a pat of butter. We day river, and another suggests hunting them in whippet tanks, which, of course, will go through jungle like a bot knife through a pat of butter. We don't know if they ever do. They never to appear to us as being sufficiently simple and practical. But as more destructive criticism is over satisfying, we put forward the elephants, which could be carried out easily: First. Direct searchlights round the Bush and concentrate them upon the elephants at night. Dazzled by the light, they run into the trunks of the trees and stun themselves. Their feet can be tied together, and they can be dragged away by donkeys or oxen to cages and subsequently sold as circus proprietors. Second. Let a big strigat (the R-34 would do) move to and fro the Bush. dragging it thoroughly with it through the water, the elephants up could be carried without a moment's pause north of the Zambesi and gently lowered to the ground, so that they could make their way into the wilds of Congo. Third. Allow several submarines to sink to the bottom of the Sunday river. A gang of natives blowing trumpets into the water, the elephants into the water. As they were swimming across, the submarines would come to the surface underneath them, lifting them out of the water. Any destination fixed upon, carrying the elephants on their decks. Fourth. Scatter several tons of extinct prey, lifting them up any destination fixed upon, carrying the elephants on their decks. Fifth. This will adhere to the trunks and feet of the elephants and the more they attempt to get rid of it the more it will collect until in the end they could be transported in northeastern (Transvaal) Sunday Times. Process Hardens Wood To prepare the cheaper kind of woods by a patented method that makes them more durable is the purpose of the Koege, Denmark, according to a commercial attachment in Copenhagen. The wood especially to be prepared are birch, ash and elm, all wood treasured in Denmark, this process being called teak wood. Cerrinik changes in the character of the wood that normally take place in the wood of the tree by this chemical process produced within 24 hours. Thereafter, when the moisture that may still be left has evaporated, the wood becomes harder and more durable than by the aging process. Teakin birch is of a beautiful golden brown color, and, when potished and dried, the wood is more durable than by the aging process. Teakin birch is a substitute for teak. Teakin birch has none of the disadvantages of natural elm. Teakin fir is of a uniform color all through the wood, and furniture and furniture and for veneering. Period of Heavy Expenditure. A period of twenty-five months, from April, 1917, through April, 1919, the war cost the United States considerable Treasury disbursements during the period reached a total of $25,000,000, of which $15,000,000 may be paid, of which $10,000,000 would have occurred in time of peace. The balance may be counted as the direct money cost of the war to the United States. The figure is twenty times the prewar national debt. In addition to this huge expenditure, loans were made to the government nearly $300,000 an hour. Congress anthorized for this purpose $10,000,000, and there was actually paid to various governments the sum of $3 Platinum From Alaska The output of platinum, palladium, and other metals of the platinum group in Alaska in 1918 is estimated at 254 million dollars, according to the United States geological department of the interior. Platinum is the godmother of some districts in larger amounts and from some in smaller amounts than last year. One of the greatest recent events of the year in connection with Alaska mining is the recovery of substantial amounts of palladium and of some other metals from the Alaska Salt Chuck mine, near Ketchikan.

It is the spirit which more than a thousand years ago was made manifest in the birth of a Renaissance of the birth. It still exists, will continue, and turbulent periods of the world existence it has never been last but has continued to manifest itself to all who live. It is worth while to stop at least once each year to commemorate the gift of this spirit to men and, in leaking back over the year just past resolve to show it more and more about us as time goes on. Whether we realize it or not it is toward a complete realization of this same spirit of "Peace on earth good will toward men" that the world is moving. Slowly it seems Losing ground it has seemed for years and the world is moving the world forward is seen in increased charities hospital, orphanages and all form of systematics relief for the afflicted and poor of the earth. But with all of the increase in this spirit as shown by our charities, when we compare our individual, racial and national lives with that of that Babe of Bethlehem, the lowly Nazarene of Bethlehem, we can see the beauty, grace and selfish we are. How far we fall short of the "mark of high calling which is in Christ Jesus" in our lives with our fellows as shown. Then we compare His life of service to our selfish existence and feel insignificance. But we trust in ultimate perfection of Peace on earth for to all men was this spirit. We see the world without this belief of a world without this and pray that its growth may national and in realizing some the same spirit of love and to all men, black, white or otherwise creed or color the way may arrive season we join in say- Amen to God in the Highest and Least peace, Good will toward Odd Wives.

THE DALLAS EXPRESS, DALLAS, TEXAS, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1919. The buying of more land and clearing away of the houses adjacent to the present park site for Negroes at the inter-section of Hall street and the H. & T. C., R. R. marks one more step in the scheme for civic development relative to the Negro citizenry proposed by Mayor Wosmocraft and the Park Board. We highly appreciate and welcome such improvements and have realized for a long time their value to our children and ourselves. This whole park site is to be improved according to modern methods and is intended to result in properly systemized, well regulated recreational opportunity for us. Side walks are to be laid, recreational apparatus for children installed and its other improvements chosen to serve the best interest of the people for whom it is intended. We again are glad to call the attention of our public to the fact that this particular city administration has as its object the development of the whole city and its entire population. To those who think deeply these concrete proofs in themselves give cause for deep satisfaction as to our future consideration in regard to our cultural development according to the need for it which increases from year to year. There is no denying the fact that the few months which have measured the term of occupance of the present administration have been marked by practical, every day improvements which have helped the citizens and the city. We call attention to the Municipal Wood, yards, without which we undoubtedly would have suffered much during the fuel crisis. The restrictions and the recent improvements in fire and police regulations must come in for their share of mention in the list of things done for civil development. There is no doubt but that the months of which are to come will bring to actual accomplishment many constructive plans of development which at present are being considered. We feel that our city is fortunate in having such an administration at this time. WE MUST SAVE MORE. For the past five years the American public has been learning to save the trend of the times has made it necessary that every individual, in order to property maintain himself and accumulate, learn to establish some aitem of consistent saving. / School children have been taught by their teachers and the grown-up public is still receiving training by public speeches and newspaper comment. There is need among our special group for improvement along this line. We waste much and save comparatively little as a group. That fact in its last analysis unless changed soon will mean that financially as a group we shall never be self-sustaining. There are many individuals among us who by thrift and economy have realized small fortunes, but the majority of us still are dependent for daily existence upon the work of each week or day. Too few of us have bank accounts which continue from year to year. The regular scheme of Thrift education does not reach the masses of us with sufficient force as it should. There should be a more concerted effort on the part of teachers and those among us who know, to spread this doctrine of saving and self-help. As a rule such subjects are never preached from our pulpits with sufficient force to cause a movement of such sort to result from them. But it is the duty of all of us especially to see that we make better progress along the line of consistent, systematic saving. Most of the banks of the city and of rural cities tax savings accounts are the result of the kind of Thrift known to Negroes. Negroes make use of them to a greater extent. It is true that the past few years have been marked by an increase of Negro bank accounts but not to the fullest extent to which they are capable of increasing. W. S. Stamps, Liberty Bonds and U. S. Treasury Certificates make saving easy for both children and grown-ups. The waste in foolish buying and extravagance* during the year of the average Negro family will more than pay for a bond or certificate. Let us all as the New Year comes in practice and preach the doctrine of Thrift for Negroes calling attention to the case with which it may become a habit. LET THE PUBLIC HELP. We feel that it is worth while for us to begin to think in terms of serving our common interest for our individual ambitions. There has been too much individual arriving and too little of public consultation in the things which have affected us as a body. Cooperation is the secret or the success of any undertaking which demands varied activity and duration of responsibility. There can be no means of demanding such activity and duration other than of having all its parts understand the desired end and systematically working toward that end along their particular lines. In our present day life, individual effort while it may have a good intention is almost doomed to fall far short of its desired end if it works at variance to and separate from the regularly constituted plan of procedure. In our own local community, as far as many projects, which concern us all, are concerned we see the need of centralling and pooling our individual efforts. The past few months have been marked by rapid development and progress, which have failed to grasp the knowledge of collective effort and how to obtain. Movements for public welfare must be advertised and made public. There is no reason for thinking that they can be brought into being any other way. The public must know and be made to realize its necessity for action in its own behalf anything worth while can be accomplished. And we take this means of saying that the Negro public in Dallas is composed of approximately 40,000 people and everyone of that 40,000 is either benefited by the success or hindered by the failure of any project. We are aware of the exception to this general rule. Public charity, public celebrations, public movements and kinds in the last analysis depend upon this public for their success. Publicity must be had. ore publicity must be given movements of interest to our civic group if their co-operation is to be obtained. The failure of many recent projects to measure up to their fullest possibilities may be traced directly to the lack of publicity given them. The public is generous and it is very responsive if fully informed. In the future may we say to those interested in affairs which concern the general public, do not depend upon word of mouth and personal advertisement. Find a way of reaching the whole public and thus to a greater degree guarantee the success of the undertaking. One is a human being, subject to all the mistakes desires and failings to which all other human beings are subject, be he king, priest, prince or paper. A little more charity toward the mistakes of others will guarantee to each of us the co-operation of our fallows in making good our own mistakes. When a man feels sufficiently unto him himself he often, by his arrogance, divorces the assistance of those who might help "put the job over." We venture to say that one universal New Year's Resolution will be "never again to wait for cold weather before buying winter fuel. Why not spend Xmas planning how to make more, save more, serve more and be more next year than ever before? THE MIRROR OF PUBLIC OPINION A Problem in Mathematics:—If it takes five minutes to send twelve men to the electric chair in Arkansas, how long will it take the United States Congress to quit "throwing bull" on American Liberty? "WATCHMAN, WHAT OF THE NIGHT?" The earth is filled with darkness, and the people, in faith unbounded with anxious faces, listening ears, and updited hands, turn to the Tower of Hope and ask with cautious breath: "WATCHMAN, WHAT OF THE NIGHT?" The people, the particular people, are the 15,000,000 men, women and children of our grand and glorious group; the Tower is the American nation, our country, and the WATCHMAN, if you please, is the Associated Negro Press, the unflipping and unfalling eyes of the race. What of the night? Indeed a fitting question at such an hour as this, and the truth must be told, of good or ill, of weat or woe, the truth, and nothing but the truth. "Darkest Africa" was dark 300 years ago, even though a few thousand years before the pinnacle of civilization, for all time, was reached there. Then came the Dutch trading vessel, and tore from their native land 300 human beings and, after a rough voyage those ebony hued "Children of the Sun," were dumped at Jamestown, in Virginia, and about the same time another vessel, the "Mayflower" landed its occupants on Plymouth Rock in New England. The Pilgrim Fathers" had the unconquerable flame of Liberty burning in their soul; the Ebony Fathers had the game burning, but it was kept safted out for 260 years. Then came Abraham Lincoln, the great War of Sections, a "new birth of freedom," and an era of Progress, Prosperity and real Human Development. The sufferers of the "Lost Cause" of the South were filled with hatred and revenge, even the Germans were so blinded today. They played the sullen, sneaking, hypocritical part for the white, and the day of opportunity to throttle and hold back, "in their place," their protectors, their saviors, and friends. Our people. They succeeded, in part, for the white, but right like truth, "crushed to earth" will rise again. So, today, we are "born again." There is a "new heaven and a new earth," a new north and a new south, a new black and and a new white—a new American, everywhere. The white South was jailed into reason by the earthquake of mighty events—the War, the Migration, the Economic Loss. The white South is a templetous follower of custom, and changes bits mind very slowly, but once it becomes, whither right or wrong, is doubles. There are those of the white South, who are fighting RIGHT, and they are telling out the truth with a vicious and bold statement even portions of the North. They are not admitting all the truth, but they have seen the handwriting on the wall," and if there is a chance to save themselves, they are going to do it. Is it too late? Africa, the land of our fathers, the world's highest and most wonderful continent, the eternal land of contending forces, is calling her children home, France, Brazil, Argentine and Mexico, are stretching out the hand of welcome, the practical North has made way for 750,000 souls and daughters of the fathers, in the last three years, and to end, by the best authority-observation, white and black press—is not yet. But the white South, fat with the richness of a double Democratic administration, and daughters has conceded one point, and is making a truly serious effort, in manners on another. It has been conceded that our children must have better schools, such publications as the Houston Post, Atlanta Constitution and Columbia State, are fighting "Lynch Law" with characteristic southern vigor. The White South will not concede love, the white North will. The white Democratic administration in Washington as been reminded by James Veldon Johnson, of New York, that the Department of Justice used the wrong word when it was claimed that we are "against the government," suggesting that it would be fitting to say we are "against the Administration." Dr. George C. Hall, of Chicago, recently stated that "the white South will not concede equality" but with malicious and unfounded intent. Dr. Hall said: "White South will not ride in the same car on train, eating in the same restaurant, all men of equal status in the South." What next great truth will the white South concede? The white North, What about it? The vision is plain. The Chicago Tribune, The New York Times, and papers of similar policy, with their sinister cultured manner of valued propaganda of race hatred, do more brim, strup more strife and ill feeling, and sow the seed of more riots than of the large dailies in the South which might be named of hand. This is likewise, true of the Associated Press. These kindred hands are the most of the largest "birth of freedom," and we know it. Our full strength of evidence and magnificent allies n all publications as the Springfield Republican, the New York Call, Pittsburgh Laer, Cleveland Plain Dealer, Chicago Herald and Examiner, Boston Herald, and the Los Angeles Express. What of the Night? There is light ahead, and we are close upon the dawn of a new and better day. The world has never seen a more preserving and faithful people-faithful to ideals and country. Are we downhearted? Not much: Push us down in politics, and we rise up in business; hold us in importance, and we build our own schools; distort and color up, ignore truth and justice, and we make our own publications tell the whole truth to the world; we are a mighty people, and verily, we are "born again." Charles Edward Russell, Barber Brishane, Dr. Frank Crane, Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler and scores of others, have been telling the whole truth on the subject of human rights. There is neither sentiment nor selfishness in what they say, simply true and justice, no more; no less. There must be a President of the United States who "fears no evil" and who will speak out boldly for the rights of all people; Mr. Wilson has lamentably failed us. There must be a United States Senate and a House of Representatives that assume the lofty and patriotic responsibilities of statesmen, and not that noble paper of mere petty pretect politicians; There must be more great daily newspapers that uphold the rich legacies of human justice as handed down by the pleneers of the Fourth Estate; there must be more thorough Truth by both of our groups less ridicule and burlesque; there must be more economic contact, where co-operative ideals may be exchanged; There must be less consternation over trifles, and more conservation of general forces. WHAT OF THE NIGHT? IT IS CLOUDY, BUT TOMORROW THE SUN WILL SHINE. WE DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS INTENDED THAT WE GET JUSTICE. And how can we? Can thousands of citizens be harried from jury duty have no in the courts whatever except to sit in the prisoner's box, and yet believe themselves just treated? Can a constitutional right be denied us, not occasionally, but steadily as a part of accepted court practice, without our feeling its justice. More than that, can white court officials deceive us to comprise to accomplish such and end, without coming to a feeling of justice for our rights? The Supreme Court of the United States has decided that the burden of the jury panel invalidates the decisions rendered in cases of Negroes in new trial. The laws of Missouri do not bar us from jury service, but in this judicial district none ever achieves a record that permits no doubt that the choice of jurymen is not left to chance where we are concerned. How can we believe we are treated justly when one day—twenty-four hours—is the time allotted for the trial and conviction of a man accused of rape. The trial and conviction of the Pullman porter a few weeks ago was called nothing whether he was guilty or not. The hunging by a mob at Moberly of the prisoner attempted hanging of three other robbers was cruel and simple and never did what will do nothing, because the people of Missouri don't want anything done. Dynamiters in Kanawa City mourn about destroying life, one man already killed and a score of places bombed, without exciting the officers of the law. All this goes on with the natural results that Negroes look to themselves more and more for their own protection, withdrawing that amount of confidence from the law and its representatives, and white people feel better with the restraint or self-control in their dealing with us. Both of us take care of the restraint and give it, and we are all learns. It is timely, it is imperative that we reconstruct the existence of others, and plan to admit ourselves to the needs of all. POLITICAL PATTER -VIDA. Chicago, Ill., Dec. 25. — The National Convention of the Republican Party will hold its next convention in Chicago, beginning Tuesday, June 11. It will be the fifth consecutive time that the greatest of all conventions has met here, and undoubtedly, it will be the most notable, 1908 and 1912 not expected. The greatest issues ever brought before the American people will be enunciated in the famous Coliseum next June. The Republican party will be forced, by the impollinating demands of the party, to be publicly displayed on the great principles of justice, manhood rights and economic progress. Ever since the National Convention of 1904, the Colored citizen, as a real factor in national conventions, has been slipping. He has answered "present" in large numbers, but he has actually been, more than less, "persona non grata," and it has been a pity to observe the way many of the leaders have played hide and seek with him around the Congress hotel. It will be remembered that in 1896 when the master political leaders Marcus A. Hanna, of Cleveland, was engineering the political fortunes of John C. Cannon, O., our leaders were the first to visit St. Louis Convention. Mr. Hanna had implicit confidence in George A. Hanna, proprietor of the well known Holloway Hotel, and Mr. Myers handled the "brother" in Napoleon Bonaparte fashion. In Baltimore, Harry S. Cummings, of Baltimore, leaped into the limelight by being selected to second and the second nomination of President Abraham Lincoln. That was the last of the real public recognition by the G. O. P. As proof of our "slipping," it will be remembered that in 1884, in Chicago, Cal temp. convention in 1884, was selected as temporary chairman of the national convention in 1884, in Chicago, China. Ohagine a citizen of our group being selected to such an honorary convention in 1920? "The them was wonderful days." In 1912, the last Colorado National Committeeman, Hon. Judson Lyons former registrar of the U.S. Treasury, was given the bounce, and since that day none of the ebony blood has graced the sacred portals of the party's interim factotums. Perry W Howard of Mississippi gave them a terrible scare, however, in St. Louis. The majority of the "old guard," such as Crum and Vance and Brown—have gone to their reward—which we hope is more than they got from the G. O. P.—but there are "still some few remaining"—Lewis, Dancy, Tyler, Andrews, Cohen, et al., but they are getting "slow of step." There is a new day, and a new generation, and a new group of people who are going to the past, skeptical of the present, and deeply concerned with the future, are going to ask for a real old year of our Lord, 1920. They have meant, and they also, have sense, and they are saying that the old ancient greece "debt to the Republican party" doesn't mean a thinker's dam to them, and has a thing to do with Fourth Avenue, and has a knowledge to know, and know indeed is: "we do we come in!" That's what they are going to find out. And in that way, we are brave as "Bob" Church, Perry Horne, Eumett Smith, "Jimmy" Cobb, Roscoe Simmons, Lew Johnson, and Eumett Smith, George Harris, Alex Martin, Joe George, Hueston. R. L. Vann, Wm. Warey, Chase, Muse, Clarence Stars, W. L. Johnson, John Jackson, Lew Anderson, Fre R. Jackson, M. J. Weil, and a few thousand others who say "The hour has come" to see that there will be doing in Chicago. The first big show of this "new regime" will be pulled off in Chicago this birthday, February 12th. Lincoln's college coin league, Col. Roscoe Coonlin Simmons, president, will hold a nationwide rally, that not only will show the group from every section be on hand, but that great economic, industrial, political, cultural and other group, including no less than United States Senators and two sure enough governors, will be here, and human rights and Americanism, 1920 Chicago will have "welcome on the door" for both of the big gatherings, as only Chicago can have it. The city is in keeping with the principles it is hoped the G. O. P., will endorse and carry out in the party platform. In the commercial achievement, Chicago will accomplish the most up-to-date business places, the finest hotels, the most luxurious club homes, the most luxurious hotels, the most thoroughfares in the world, and the glad hand of hospitality—sans the old staff with a kick—will be turned into a place of enjoyment and enjoyment of the visitors. And the final big wonder is: Who stacks up best to "Carry on, Carry on," the American man Will H. Hays, of Hoosierland will the best to take his residence on Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, the best to ride the rub. The is long and interesting road. Lowden of Illinois, Col. Marshall and Col. Johnson will say: Leonard Watson of American Army, say; M. John R. Reagan with the enthusiasm of a yearling; Gov. Coolidge of Massachusetts; Sen. Watson and Gov. Goodrich, of Philadelphia; plenty-Nicholas Murray, Butler of New York who really told the Republican party "the Lord's truth" in Philadelphia; "But where do we come in!" ask the chorus of young heroes of the new world wide society of "Chillin' and believe us, if you will talk with this "gang" face to face, and one by one, there will be no question, and believe us, and nothing but the truth" will be known, backwards and forwarded, when the big bell rings. KEEP WAR RISK INSURANCE It is regrettable that so many former service men are not keeping up their Government; life insurance issued through the Bureau of War Risk Insurance in Washington. The fact seems to be due largely to widespread confusion and lack of information as to the right of government life insurance, and the process by which this insurance may be retained. The demobilization of our armed forces was as rapid and was attended by such uncertainty on the part of service men as to future civil occupation. The fact that it was not surprising that many of the men gave little thought to the matter of insurance, that they did not know it much, and that term insurance (War Time Insurance) ceased when they were demobilized and did not know it much, that the several forms of permanent Government Life Insurance (Converted Insurance). Still others, immediately after the war, financially unable to continue the insurance. They should now take advantage of the liberal provisions for The Government is determined that no former service man shall lose his right to Government insurance coverage after he acquires it. To this end, the press, the pulpit, bankers, physicians and other agencies of the government un agencies of social welfare like the Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A., the Knights of Columbus, the War Camp Service, the Boy Scouts, and many others are now co-operating with the Government to establish an educational campaign designed to reach the former service man, wherever located, and tell them the Government policy of permanent life insurance for its soldiers, sailors and marines. Term Insurance (War Time Insurance) is a re-invested within eighteen months from the date of discharge, by statuary claimant in as good health as at date of discharge, and by the payment of only two months premiums on the basis of payment. And this term insurance (War Time Insurance) may be converted into several forms of Government policies. A WORD TO DISABLED SOLDIERS Every man who was in the military or naval service of the United States is at the late war, and who on account of his service fitted to engage at once in a painful occupation should at once be the Bureau of War Risk Insurance. Under the law this Bureau is charged with providing for service men discharged because of disability or of duty, compensation and free medical treatment until such time as they are restored to physical fitness. Durant advised that a general combing out of the military training camps of the country in an effort to bring up the standard of military training, many men discharged at that time may be aware of their rights under an act of Congress to compensation for discharged from the attention and hospital treatment which such of these or a like nature should be brought immediately to the at- PROGRESS IN NEGRO EDUCA TION. A general increase in the interest in Negro education in the Southern states is shown in the encouraging growth and well-equipped school buildings now appearing in Southern cities; the number of new, sanitary, and well-equipped houses in the country districts that have been built in recent years, escheduled interest in better-trained teachers is evidenced by the surprisingly large number of summer schools and long-term internships for Colored teachers this year; in tendenge here and there to increase teachers' salaries and to lengthen courses; and in the evident intention, escheduled for the exceptional growth of County Tarrytown for Negro youth in the rural districts. These improvements have led to the heavier co-operation and financial growth of the Colored patrons in all sects of the South. It is desirable that the ill-defined ample provision continued till all Colored children at public expense shall have been made. 300,000 N. Y. NEGRO VOTERS ORGANIZING.

THRIFT TALK It is very interesting to note that as a result of the training which they are receiving in Thrift instruction, the school children of Ohio have saved an invested in over five and a half million dollars worth of Government Thrift Stamps during the War Savings Stamps this year. The War Savings savings among the school folios in Ohio is $5.58. The State has made a spacious record in the teaching of Thrift in the schools since the beginning of the Savings Campaign in 1918, our school has invested over sixteen and a half million dollars in Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps, and in every school given in Thrift and practical service District of which our State is a part, regular class room instruction includes not only the saving of money but the saving of time, clothing, and other things. These factors tend toward personal efficiency. The instruction of the student in Thrift in the public school every parent should sponsor this work being done by the school teachers and the Government Savings District. If you want to get ahead—get a head! The person who is saving and investing his savings this day and time in Government War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps is showing that he has a head and know how to use it. Fifteen dollar silk shirts won't keep you warm this winter but they will play heck with your bark account. Better get a common-sense shirt and put the difference in War Savings Stamps where it will earn four percent compounded. It's not what you make but what you save that counts. Are you getting ahead or slipping behind? War Savings Stamps are pretty good non-skid chains. The boys and girls in the schools here are members of Thrift Clubs and are being taught about thrift by their teachers. Every parent ought to back-up this teaching to the very limit, because thrift is the good management of the business of living and everybody should know something about thrift. Thrift and War Savings Stamps will introduce you to thrift and induce you to save. The Government is going to give every one of the opportunity of buying War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps next year, but don't wait till New Year's Day to make that thrift resolution. Start buying your War Savings Stamps now and be just that much ahead. War Savings Stamps, Thrift Stamps now and be just that much ahead. just that much ahead.

Br Associated Press Atlantic City, Dec. 27.—Mrs. Blake, who on Friday night crawled to the home of Benjamin Fox in Ventnor and told of being attacked by two Negroes, who, after beating her, robbed her of a hand bag and then fled with her child, is charged with the murder of the boy. She was removed from the home of Mrs. A. Killer. Ventnor today the Atlantic City Hospital, where she is guarded by a policeman. She is said to be suffering from a nervous collapse. The boy's body was found less than five blocks from the pier in Ventnor where Mrs. Blake's hand bag was re-received yesterday, and about the same distance from the scene of the alleged kidnapping. County Physician L. R. Soulder performed an autopsy and pronounced death due to drowning. He said it had not yet been decided whether to hold an inquest. There were no marks on the oddly killed of those he had been killed before he was thrown into the water. "Dr. Soulder said Mrs. Blake, the authorities said, has told conflicting stories, both before and since her arrest, probably due it was said to her nervous condition. Mr. and Mrs. Blake have been estranged for some time. The boy and a 10-year-old daughter had been in the autopsy of their father, and has been permitted to go out with their mother.

Asks for Protection, Comparing 38 Lynchings in U. S. to 9 Killings in Mexico. "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has sent to Senator Lodge of Massachusetts the annual Colored committees committee, a letter urging that protection be given Colored citizens within the United States. The letter requests that the Colored committees be Colored men of the United States between July 31 and November 28, 1910, and of two Mexicans. In Mexico, nine Americans have been killed. "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People calls for the establishment of a national connection with the alleged murders of Americans by bandits in Mexico, which are urged as grounds for protection in the United States. In the government, to the unpunished murder by mobs of Americans, not in Mexico, but in the United States. As we apprehend the murders of Americans in United States citizens in Mexico, may we inquire if the United states government may require of Mexico the release of the "Records of the State Department, published November 28, show that nine Americans have died in the United States." "The press of this nation has recorded between July 31 and November 1, 2015, that the United States by mobs, two victims being Mexicans and thirty-six Americans of all ages, the public state of Ohio, the National Association calls your attention to the fact that the only public government through the Department of Justice in regard to these lynchings has been to publish stories of radical violence." "We respectfully inquire through you as chairman of the committee to investigate the situation and republican whether the United States government intends to proceed upon the assumption that the murder of a person of color is more significance to the people of the United States than of thirty-eight Americans, or whom it were publicly burned alive, with firearms." The letter was signed by James Weldon Johnson, field secretary of the association. With it in parallel columns was a list of the Americans killed in Mexico and the Colored men killed in the country from July 11 to November 29. BREWERS SUE U. S.

In the room during the taking of the testimony, besides Judge Kincer, he was the trustee of the bankrupt estate, Judge W. H. Meredith, attorney for Begley, and the trustee of the bankrupt creditors.

The 32-year-old bankrupt not invaded expensive jewelry and clothing upon his wife and declared that if he had been left alone nine months longer, he would have been defrauded. He coolly discussed the different forged instruments, explaining which were bogus and which were bona fides. The referee and the attorneys in straighten'them out his tainted affair.

TENNESSEE TO HAVE NEGRO SUPERVISOR. Nashville, Tenn. Dec. 25 — Tennessee has followed Mississippi's example in appropriating funds for the educational work. The growth of educational work. The growth of aid of the Rosenwald fund has much to do with the sentiment behind this appropriation. These Rosenwald schools are in southern southern states, in the including them by the states, by local white friends, and by the Negroes themself. Rosenwald is not dominated by both races. Mr. Rosenwald has given to date $12,000; the states have given $10,000; the funds; white friends have given locally, $88,500; and the Negroes have given locally, $44,000—a total for school building appropriations of $1,197,500.

The court for court-martial. It became known Saturday that Attorney General Palmer became interested in the case. He briefed the Alabama supreme court and that he a brief insisting that Caldwell he led a brief insisting that Caldwell remained him with the understanding that the War Department only surreptitiously affirmed the case and the civil court. Attorney General Palmer's efforts avoided nothing affirmed the case and he was sentenced to hang December 5. The case was dismissed by Judge McCarthy of the case by Judge I. Grubb of Birmingham, carried the case to the United States supreme court and exoneration. The War Department has said the proper time it will be believed a form demand for the case to Caldwell to the jurisdiction of the War Dept. will be determined, though it is contended that the War Department can take a soldier from the civil armor through it surrender on the judge. Chicagouans and a national organization are supposed to be putting Caldwell lived in Chicago to when he entered the army. J. Q.

L. Baskerville of the meeting of the Colored Committee of the Women's Auxiliary of the Diocese, for the work of the church on the state, he said. Our missionary schools we are touching the lives of nearly 2,000 children and the teaching in these schools, we are touching the lives of nearly 2,000 children and lives of the children and parents. Communities are being transformed into schools, and the schools are not run in opposition to the public schools, but are doing work which the latter are doing, in order to plainly the duty of the church to assume the responsibility to give the Negro what the State is unable to The speaker declared that the Negro had always shown himself to lawabiding citizen when left to himself and that his merits should be recognized. "There is no more loyal citizen than the Negro," he said, and it is important that these black people who know no other country than America should be educated in hand, heart and head to take the place of the people who are making such disturbances in our land today. We have no I. W. W. Troubles in the South because the Negro is lawabiding. The South would be paralized without Negro labor, and let me say right here that the Negro never yet started a riot. In all the riots in which the Negroes were involved they only showed resistance to protect themselves." Archdeacon Baskerville regretted there was so little public sympathy for the Negro. The churches and the country poured money out on men of other races, he said, but forget the black man in his own country. "If the people of the United States," he said, "turned as much money loose on the Negro as they do on the Japanese, we would have splendid missionary results, not only in the South, but all over the country. THERE IS A RACE PROBLEM IN AFRICA ALSO. Washington, D. C., Dec. 25,—According to the Washington Post, "The United States of South Africa applauded the United States for its own. There is in effect in that country a system of color bar codes that are used to bitterly complaining. They are depicted in the Dutch Reform Church and from employment in skilled work in the industrial areas. They claim that the war was a mistake for they sent to the actual front in the world war 94,000 men of whom 42.5 percent were killed, and as an additional grievance, are buried in places absolutely inaccessible to the public. "It is well known that the South African act of 1909, which created the Union, was framed and passed by the legislature, and any reference to the natives, except those of the Cape Province; but the measure which is the cause of the death of the blacks in the act of 1913, passed by the Union parliament. Under this act, which measures the limitation of the worst type and as tending either to make them slaves or to kill them, 12 per cent of the blacks were killed, 25 per cent of the blacks and 88 per cent of the land was set aside for the 1,500,000 whites. The portion allotted to the blacks was used for the local larval soil and congested tribal localities held under old grants. The blacks had been industrious agriculturists, were driven off the lands which they formerly held and tilled, and died in the fields. The survivors, finding it impossible to live, cleared out of the Union country altogether and fled to other countries. "These grievances spokesmen of the natives have taken to London and presented to the foreign and colonial sub-committee. Their claim is that their allegiance is due not to the Boers, but to the British king and nation they accordingly appeal and nation they accordingly appeal for redress. It appears that government of the South African Union is at present demanding the inclusion of more protectorates under its sway, and the oppressed natives, with considerable political acumen, have seized the opportunity to oppose the grant of this demand until what they consider elementary justice is done to themselves." "The problem is a perplexing one, and it will tax the ingenuity of the home government to solve it in a manner satisfactory to all concerned." It is stated on good authority that the time is not far distant when a gigantic "Union" of all the darker peoples of the entire world will be established for self-protection. American Negroes are much interested in the plan. ST. LOUIS TO RUN NEGRO FOR CONGRESS. (Associated Negro Press) St. Louis, Mo.

REPUBLICANS INCLUDE CLASSES IN PLATFORM MFTTER. (Continued from page 1.) sensitive elements of American good citizenship. The committee is intended to be a working body whose members will give serious and continued thought to the platform for the next six months. It is not a perfluorocyclic organization. The committee's platform will be taken up and coordinated by a smaller body in the nature of a subcommittee made up of 10 members. Underlying the whole proposition is the great fact, which the national government has assigned to the subcommittee on the republican party the tremendous responsibility of lifting America out of the economic crisis which the administration has hunk it and putting into force in a legislative and administrative context of what constructive measures ever attempted in this republic. It is recognized that the committee, in other has this vast task to perform. It is to be performed, then the platform must be one bitching the occurrences of the resolution that the resolutions committee, which will be working 36 to 48 hours before the convention, can do full justice to the need for a wise and broad platform if it has a body of mater- The platform will deal with the great fundamentals of questions be asked by the party.

New Orleans, Dec. 25—Thirteen of the mobbers who shot and killed the police officer November 22 have been arrested and released on bail. On or of the dead mobster, the Central Body, Bogalus is to milk from this city. The Great Southern Lumber company, one of the largest in the country, located there. About six weeks prior to the murder the company locked up the warehouse and attempted to smash their unions. The mob was lead by Loyalty Negro who was charged with attempt to smash the mill whistle. The gob clam claimed it was attempting to deport a Negro who was charged with attempt to smash the mill whistle. Edward O'Brien, president of the Sawyers and Filters' union was run out of Bogalus by the mob. Citizens painted the word "bobalus" on the O'Brien's hat and I, W. W. agitator and beilsehv" across the back of his overcoat. He has lived in Bogalus for over a decade and has a wife and several children, but his reputation as a mobster home there and has a wife and several children to the mobbers in view of his connection with or organized labor. He is also accused of attacks to Attorney General Palmer, who is asked to protect American citizens from the country and their flag. WHY THEY OPPOSE JAPS. Los Angeles, Cal., Dec. 25.—When organized labor was demanding exclusion of the Japanese 20 years ago, many newspapers and organizations that now demand exclusion were "deal, dumb, blind and paralyzed," says the Citizen, owned by the Los Angeles trade union movement. "But there's a reason," continues the labor paper. "When the slant-eyed Orientals first commenced to swarm to this state they were willing to work for low wages. Now they are entering all lines of business and seriously interfering with the profits of men who do not work with their hands. Hence the bowl. They were a blessing when they cut wages they are a curse since they cut profits." FASHIONS IN FURS FOR FALL-WINTER Peltry of Every Conceivable Variety is to Be Much in Evidence. STRIPE IS VERY DESIRABLE Borders and Bands of Rich Color in Contrasting Arrangements Are Used—New Shades for Fall. A poor excuse is better than none, and so milly will comfort her conscience as she digs deep in her porch floor. She wraps of the new season with the fact that a cloth suit or coat would cost in some cases almost as much, written out in a simple fashion. In truth furs are proportionately about as expensive and the only reason that there is anything in reach in that every conceivable fur is available. Paris has been astonishingly catholic in this respect of late and under the exigency of the times admitted to the city, but its petals as Mongolian goat, rabbit, coney. Lady of the Lady of the Lady of the Taupe divet de laine taint trimmed with embroidery of the same color and taupe racoon. Hat is of clip-paper beaver; pheasant tail decoration. Manchurian dog and even ordinary house rat. As the security of furs continued through last winter old furs were dragged out of the moth ball closet and worn until there was not a fur left that might not be seen on the manchurian dog. Fortunately this brought every fur into play, for just imagine the prices if only two or three furs had happened to be in fashion, as in some scene pictures. This is not to say that there are not favorite furs this year, too, but because some of the less expensive furs are in better standing than usual is not a bad thing. And if any of the furs that are always high in price are out of it. Indeed, it is not so much a question of the kind of fur as the manner in which it is made up of fur. The manchurian dog, chinchilla are a shade more in demand than those in other tones. Tails as a Decoration. Again, it may be merely a matter of tails and the wrap or fur piece that covers the most tails is easily the winner. Probably the rage for tails is traced to the rage for fringe and any and everything that dangles with the tail. The rage for tails are the tails placed anywhere near the spot nature intended them to be. Placed close enough to form a semblance of fringe is the approved method, but as is then decided expensive and in short spaces is sometimes seen. The defense, more in evidence than abroad, is very apt to show a long fringe of tails that runs from the bottom of the arm to the bottom of the leg, otherwise it may run down the sides and around the back or around the bottom without any at the sleeves. The two wags around the bottom, either placed at the top of the hem falling on top of the fur or about the lower edge and hanging free. An evening wrap by an American house has a tail fringe all over the body, placed very close and showing up well against the white fur. The sleeves of this wrap are wide and胖, being supplied with a separate elongated flap like a cape, and the collar, very strangely, is of silver fox. The Stripes, so very well fitted in the Stripes, so very well fitted in the fur in the arrangement of the markings, so any fur that has by nature a dark color is in evidence with the large wraps that are so frequent. For this purpose chinchilla and mink are immensely popular and the fur of the mink is used with the palaes are extraordinary. Where the coat or wrap is ordinarily trimmed with a collar or cuffs of contrasting fur, borders and bands of the same color are used. Contrasting arrangement are used instead. On a wrap of mink for evening or afternoon wear the stripes run up and down the fur, and the wide band of the fur with the stripes running in the opposite direction is mirred in the front corners and back corners of the fur on this wrap, which is typically French, is very large and falls over the shoulders and half way down the arms bordered with a horizontal band through the line straight across the hind. The Parisian with her short skirts wears these all enveloping wraps exquisitely. The skirt underneath, the wrap still escapes being cumbersome, particularly as the cut is most apt to be straight. The wrap is also in a cape or very short sleeves in the coats are seen. The sleeves, which makes not buyers abroad favor the short sleeves in furs, so the coats and coats on this side are all offered with regulation Large Collars and Cuffs. Large collars and cuffs of the longer haired pelts are a feature of many fall suits. Skunk, skirt and pointed fox are used and the collars are cut high, giving a luxurious air to the suit. When wearing a skirt, the collars are not noted it is usually in close fur, as seal, squirrel or beaver. A suit of French blue velours is fashioned with faring lines from the waist and a fitted waistband. The collars of squirrel fur. The fur is arranged so that the stripes run horizontally across the front of the vest. The simple tailored suit without a belt and a collared shirt fur is sure to be one of the smartest features of the fall openings. Pervenche is one of the new shades that have been captured for the fall. The collars of squirrel fur flower by that name, which we see once in a while in an old garden in this country under the name of myrtle. It is a shade of lavender which escapes coming under the head of blossom. Many Browns and Tans Duvetry is not considered as smart as a velvet for the fall or winter hat. It is not as durable as a collection in the best shops that there are almost no dark blue hats, but quantities of all shades of brown and black are available. Velvet is the majority as trimming. Velvet shredded and plaited very closely and with a little care will distinguish some of the very high-priced two models. New velvet hats of special interest are available in handwork and Western Newspaper Union Striking and beautiful combination of moleskin and squirrel is this extremely modish winter creation. The extremely velvet with roses broached silk. in very different ways. All the vivid colors are in flues in a turban-shaped affair, and that each shade lose none of its value it is encumbered in a more or less irrepressible fan shape and that it is with any other color. This hat is also suitable for wear with a strictly tailor-made suit. The standing collar is stolen from the uniform military.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? an eminent public official of national renown, a man in a position to bring things to pass, has requested The Associated Press to document the people on the subject of a National Commission to Study and Work Out a Plan of Permanent Race Adjustment in the United States. This Commission, which is directed by the United States Senate, and appointed by the President, collects numbers from both the North and the South, and would be absolutely non-political, and would not represent the Colored members from both the North and the South, and would be published. Address: The Associated Negro Press, 312 South Clark Street, Chicago, RECOGNITION FOR NEGRO "SPIR ITUALS." Hampton, Va., Dec. 25—In search of Negro spirituals in their original form, Natale Curtis went to hear those which the blacks on St. Helen Island sang. He found that the number of these examples are on the program of the Musical Art Society, when it gives its first concert of the year in Carnes Hall Gymnastics. On St. Helen Island there are six some thousand blocks and only about fifty white people. The typical Negro folk-song has there almost wholly escaped those infiltrated by the white settlers, but in it more advanced communities. In this remote spot, where corn is ground by hand, where tradition tells us that the African people was brought from Africa, and where it is said that traces of African words are archaic, imaginative, and primitive richness of the music suggests direct contact. Of the songs arranged by Natalie Curtis, two celebrate the Christmas, the first being "Drafted," to the set and triumph rename the of the old spiritual, "Lide On, On." Of the drafted Negro soldiers during the war, carried about the country by the African-American Helena Island, who has recently returned from France, and who will play in the musical Art Society. Man was summoned to a white man war, "ways Miss Curtis," and the pain of parting, and loss in the black belt seemed to be the most important of the people's ignorance of the cause for which they were to furl: when they were to be sent home with song that this new stess was often lightened by the simple folk music in music, it occurred to the writer of these verses to follow the custom of tune and thus make a Negro son who should enthuse the ideals for which was a song for the hour, paraphrasing "Lide On the Jesus," and it closely resembled the songs in the simple and somewhat crusical harmonies and progressions of the MR.

Name Address City State DALLAS EXPRESS "MOST DISTINCTIVE WEEKLY IN AMERICA" SHOWS COMPULSORY EDUCATION NOT ENFORCED. How hundreds of communities throughout the country have organized against child labor and illiteracy is told in a bulletin "Every Child the Children's Bureau of Labor." This bulletin describes the methods and results of the Children's Bureau's School" campaigns carried on last year by 44 States and the District of Columbia. The Children's Bureau and the National Defense. A large proportion of their efforts to stamp out child labor because they have been employed and are recognizing the fact that many children begin their education with only a small educational equivalent. Children have had a chance to develop physically." As a result school time has been reduced for boys and girls who might otherwise have had their education cut The Back-to-School and Stay-in-School campaigns have shown that in many places school attendance and child labor laws are not enforced. Many children were found to be working in violation of the statuses of their States and many children of school age were in factories because there was not a sufficient number of attendance officers and factory inspectors to keep them in school and out of industry. In one State it was found that 10,895 children did not go to school at all last year. In a single district an inspector reported 1,700 children as not having had day of schooling in many districts. In children attend school only about half the time, and the hours for rural schools are very short. It is conditions such as these, the bulletin points cut, that make the United States eighth instead of first on the list of civilized countries with regard to the proportion of literacy among children. One out of every class living in cities in the United States can not read or write; one out of every five country adults is illiterate—and the States in which there is a high percentage of illiteracy are the States in which there is a high percentage of rural child labor. There are no laws that prohibit the employment of children in agriculture, and three-fourths of all The million or more children who leave school each year to go to work are not all tested into work by poverty. Many of them go to work because they do not realize the advantages of education or because the schools are not interesting enough to hold them or sometimes because there are not any schools to go to. In one state the committee of the Back-to-School campaign found that there was a serious shortage of schools in town and cities. It was estimated that if all the children who should be in school were there, forty per cent of them would have to stand. Some localities have reported schools closed for lack of teachers, and it is reported from all over the country that teachers are leaving schools for better paid work. Several States have met this situation during the past year by securing legislation establishing a minimum of $1,000 to $1,200 for teachers but school teachers in many parts of the country are still receiving as little as $40 a month. But legislation for compulsory school attendance or for higher salaries is not a complete remedy, says the bulletin.

The general downfall of royalty seems to have affected not one whit the princess frost. Always there are women of fashion who cling to some version of this dress. A year year there are quite a few New York THE FASHION White Taffeta Evening Gown. designers who are adopting the princess frock, states a fashion writer. Of course, the princess of this year is a very different affair from that tightly molded dress which the figure some years ago. Very often the distinctive touch is confined to one detail, but the princess is very sure that the line is becoming to both sim and not so. A new evening frock is of white taffeta embroidered in silver and combed with a fine lace. The echo of the princess mode on one side only. Like so many of the evening frocks at present, an ornate plume is employed as the elixir of trimming. The princess is wearing a security as they are in desert scenery. LONGER AND WIDER SKIRTS Conservative Styles Are Predicted by the Fashion Art League at Chicago Convention. Feminine styles the coming fall are to be much different from those now prevailing—much different. Skirts will be longer—much wider—more conservative. And in this connection there is a war just starting—a war by American women to make the style more conservative. This was the news coming from within the Fashion Art league, in convention recently in Chicago. The doughboy is at the bottom of the whole thing. In France the Parisenne beauties wear extreme styles. When the doughboy struck that country he was dazzled. Styles became more and more extreme, and when he started home he was full of new ideas of styles, but the American girls rebelled—they went on a fashion strike, demanding new styles. The correct skirt length, according to Madame Alla Ripley, president of the league, should be six to eight inches above the ground. Of course, the width will be built around the person, but generosity will be plentiful among the designers, it was pointed out. Forty-seven inches was agreed on as the average width for the slender person. FASHION BREVITIES negligence is almost extinct in its beauty. Caterpillar are the means employed to protect the skin from a coat it suffices. Caterpillar overcrowds of gold-colored geogneite has monkey fur about the steeves and skirt hem. Irish crochet blouses are new for fall. House costs are really becoming only to small scale, or fine gold-plated mesh is always smart. The mesh contains cone pink and blue dotted French yarn. The bigger and more crushable a sash is the more stylish it is. girls will want to attend the rest of the Back-to-School drive indicate that the majority of children leave school because they are not interested and that the school fails to provide the training which meets their needs. If we are to keep children from going to work too early in life we must provide a schooling environment that gives them the need, and give them a sound foundation on which to build their industrial life when the proper time comes. Colors One With Titian Tresses Should Wear. Different Color Pigment in Skin Thin Blonde or Blackhaired Woman With Fair Skin. No type of beauty can be more strikingly lovely than the red-haird woman, writes a famous creator of beauty books, *The Stunning How to understand how to dress to type she may make herself as vividly decorative as a mural painting.* That stunning *So-So* and So-So with her red-haird hair* he wears her often, but also, we also wear "there's no poor Mary, such a sweet girl, but that awful red hair!* She if only knew what can you do with a girl like that? A red-haird woman should realize first of all that there is a different color pigment in her skin than that of a red-haird woman. Black-haird woman with fair skin. The delicate shades that tone with the pink and white loveliness of the red-haird woman are used on the red-haird woman, although her complexion may possess that quality of extreme whiteness which so often causes her to wear or chestnut-haird type is another story. I am speaking of the woman with vivid red hair, who if she were a boy, would be called a girl. The woman with red hair has been sentenced to wear blue for so many years that this color and red hair make her look red. The theory that if you see a red-haired woman a white horse will soon appear. Blue is the wrong color for the red-haired woman. No, this last browtie. There is one shade of green-blue that there is a shade of green-blue that Burke, who is one of the loveliest of red-haired creatures, wears a red-brown hat. The green first and blue afterwards—green blue—and even she wears it with great discretion. Another obvious color for the red-haired woman. If, however, brown is well done the sympathetic background of this color is good, but brown may also be well very comical. Black is an excellent for the woman with red hair. Clothed in black and the right eyes she becomes distinguished looking as well as beautiful. Given a good skin and dark enough inshs and brows, almost any red-haired woman should be able to make a attractive There is a gray for everyone. Particularly for the possessor of red hair. Gray is color brown. It makes gray. The various colors of gray are produced by the proportions of these three colors. The gray is the most versatile of the colors, the gray with lavender or violet predominating. The red-hair woman should avoid blue hair, the possible exception of the two-tones, gray blue and green blue mentioned above. All above, she should not want baby blue, turquoise, king's or queen's blue. Olive is an excellent color for red hair. Olive makes an ideal street color, and chartreuse and cineral all make a great color for red hair in the evening. Brons makes a better daylight choice than the lighter brown tones. Of the yellow, pale hair is good on the red. ATTIRE FOR MISS OF 1920 THE FASHION WEEKLY This is an advance model of fall-winter wear for military of fashion.

CASH OR CREDIT TO CLEAN BLACK STRAW HATS Alcohol and Water with Coloring Substance, Wilt Aid in Renovation of Millinery. Black straw hats may be cleaned with alcohol and water and some of the commercial coloring and some of the water. White hats may be painted. White straw hats may be cleaned with a solution of one teaspoonful of oxalic acid to a pint of cold water, or water that has been thoroughly wet, in a barrel at the bottom of which sulphur is burning in a tin dish. Oxalic acid may be rebounded by laying them on a board and sponging with ammonia and water or alcohol and water. They should have been covered with a piece of tissue paper. Velvet may be steamed by one of the steamers. By the first, the velvet is held in front of the spout of a steaming tea bottle and the steam allowed to pass through the velvet. By the second, the velvet or steam spots will be made. The velvet must not be brushed immediately after the steaming. By the first, the velvet must be covered with a hot iron which has been covered with a damp cloth. The steam from the cloth will pass through the velvet. By the second, the velvet may be brushed at the same time. HOMESPUNS LEAD FOR WRAPS Capea Reaching to Knees, Rounded in Front, Have Slits for the Armbones. If a wrap is needed with a tailored suit it is found in a rough serge or homespun cape. These caps reach only to the knees. They are rounded in front, have slits for the armholes and a rolling collar that goes to the bem in front. They are in gray, sometimes in white, but often in dark blue. When serge is used it is often ornamented with openwork bands, the threads pulled out to outline squares of the material. These caps are not lined: their seams are so arranged that they can be worn without lining. They are quite comfortable and look better than the safin cape. They give more warmth, and warmth is something that every American desired the past summer in Paris. The price of wood is high and there have been few American rooms in which it has not been burning every forenoon to dry out the room as well as to warm it. FLOWER FROCKS FROM PARIS New Gown May Suggest Full-Blown Rose, Shaggy Chrysanthemum or Dreamy Poppy. The very newest models from Paris demand the petal frock. The frocks have all blossomed with flowers—a delicious conceit, and bound to become popular on this side of the Atlantic as well. These petal frocks are without lining and follow the lines of the body with no suggestions of stiffness. They may suggest a full-blown roof by the soft draperies unfolding at the waist line, or they may develop into shaggy chrysanthemums, with supple elongated petals, or into dreamy poppies. These frocks are difficult to wear and demand an excellent figure, but the effect of fluttering and airy grace with which they invest the wear will prove alluring to all women even if they must undertake stressful physical culture. One Problem Solved. Under some shady trees sheep gates make a rude enclosure and a woman too old to work sits knitting on a rustic bench. About her are dozens of the happiest, healthiest children and babies that heart could desire. This scene shows how one farmer in Cheshire solved the day nursery problem and cared for the children of his new help. Help he had to have; men could not be found, and the women would not come unless their children could be cared for. He served milk and biscuits to the children in their paddock, and they grew happy and strong in the fricah country air. The farmer says his small outlay has been more than made up to him in the increased output of the women, and many other farmers are planning to follow his example. London Mall.

Christ, The Greatest Teacher of All The Ages. His Methods Are Those Commended To The Present Day Teachers. The Ideal In Education Its Relation To The Child. The School Is For The Child And Not For The Teacher. The Child Is All in All. Follow Teachers and Co-Workers: We meet today in annual session to have a heart to heart talk. The purpose is not to display our knowledge as a glass toy that a child plays with to reflect a brilliant and passive mind that higher education namely to reach the ideal in education for the child, if we would teach successfully, we are first of all to know the child and its relation to the ideal. Know myself, know the child, then to reach the child, the teacher must be childlike in simplicity of right principles that underlie the laws of the mind, and work in conformity with these laws. Then one question comes up before the teacher and prepares for an answer. Ask the teacher. Rather the answer to this question. If I am a teacher, what are the sign? Am I a keeper of school or teachers? Am I a keeper of teachers? Does the license which the state grant me make a teacher? This is a function of the state. We themselves upon our minds as we begin to search the record of our ability to teach apply what the state has enmended for us. We agree to teach to the best our ability, and to receive our reward here, and the greater reward at the end. First of all, we are builders, and if builders, we are to have the blue print, the plans or specifications, the models or buildings if we would build with any degree of certainty and accuracy. What are these plans of specification? What are the plans of teacher? What architect has drawn the plans? The answer is easy and forcoming, our church, the greatest church and fitted the models. Hear Him. He calls attention to the lily, not that it tails, but for another purpose. We build the church, the interior the heat, the light, air and the moisture these 'we would have the teacher consider in the budding and the life principle of the lily. The Master taught without deficiencies. He had none to begin with the basic lessons. His instructions, the definitions and terms unfolded themselves, so that the simplest of understanding knew much as the learned lawyer, who came to Him by night to seek information on a lesson of the Wind and the laws governing its actions. Thus we are to learn methods from the teacher, to learn the man. In considering the lily, the teacher is to consider the life giving beauty and in the art of teaching, she is to furnish those element that are peculiar to the mind of her pupils and in the beauty to the sun by proper nourishment so the pupils in the hands of the skillful teacher are through right applications. That the child being guided and exercised by the teacher is sweetest oder, its fragrance filling the balm air, useful plant bearing fruit and unfolding all that God has given to us and more in beauty, in utility, in culture, till the child shall stand forlieve the lily, like the Christ To reach this stage of training, we are to take the child through the school, through the school of clivets that it may learn its relation, through the school of clivets that it may learn its relation, through the school of com- ference that it may learn the value and economy and the use of money, to take the school of clivets that it may have that spiritual training, from clivets that leads hm away higher spiritual passions to the grouser element, the sodid, and from the refined solder element in the refined solder character, the emerald of the high priest of the state, the highiean of the sheikher; it is mete and fallen sheikher; it is mete and fallen Method and Disciple light that is still redolent with the cademic of Bethlehem and sweet cadence and in every clime on the nature of the sacred history cters around this joyous eventing that the Method and Disciple scheme of demotion cters chooses with the Go while like drama which set forth the Heavenly Epoch of fallen man. For ages, for that night its pall of spiritual darkness brooded upon the earth with not a ray of light, till the glorious Star of the New Jerusalem came beaming with the sacred light Heaven's Morning Star to the pathway of man that he might hear the full assurance of the eternal son, the full assurance of One ray of hope was left to man through the Cross which was to again renew his relation and heirship, and to plan of salvation, the pean rang out as never before, Glory to God in the highest, and peace on earth, goodness and completed and completed the long and the short which led up to the epoch of the new day. The new method was isis, the other type now called in practice, method of truth, the method of life, that method of God to man. The new method was into every home, into every school, into every home, into every school, into the very halls of the Federal Congress, into the actions of every nation, into the actions of every nation. As teachers, if we take the method of the Christ, we shall have the best method, and the best discipline. But teachers must grow on the latest methods of the more recent masters of authority, and these must grow out of the methods, of the theological writings, of the comments, of the name, are called the craft of the Christ. So when the young teachers seek for a method, it may be found in the House of Methods. School virtues can be best taught by the acting as learners presented them by the teacher, for example, like people, like teacher, like pupils, assemble their parents in physical form, teach them a mouth, there a habit, there a mouth, there a loot of the left shoulder, and the like The ancient Greek would resemble the Roman would initiate the invading Greeks, and all nations would resemble the refinement of the Greek and the proud Anglo Saxon, would resemble the German, and the pungent Anglo Saxon, would imitate both the Roman and the German, and in the jurisprudence and turn them into the Greeks. The Greek never contemplated. This implies that the teachers are to make an excursion into the field of the ancient Greeks and to work the work of their own in the drawing out process just as all nations get the struggle of life. We take the fleece from the sheep, and weave it into cloth and wear it, but to be protected like the sheep that we may accomplish that which is set for our hands. Then it is in the sheep that we endearingly to make the child a dependent but to create self activity and endearingly to make the child the sheep creates a warmth in the activity in the body of the wearer. Fellow teachers: In all our method, we see the image in the block and apples sees the image in the child, and applies the image in the child, and applies the art the apt - access, and chisel applied to the silent marble as it would speak the intellect of the child grows and so expand.
