It is also more unfair to the junior Senator from Mississippi for representing the clerain Negro politicians from his own State who are seeking to feed personal grades rather than to formulate truth, and whose representations have caused the Senator to make statements on the floor of the Senate which he himself cannot truth, and whose successor yours.

To the 487 stockholders of the WEST TEXAS MANUFACTURING COMPANY, and the hundreds of well wishers: We wish to say that at this season of the year, when all hearts are jubilant; looking back over the past, and looking forward to the future, we join in with you. For we too, have something of the past to boast of and something of the future to prophesy.
We were promising the people that we would build a plant at Mesa, Texas, and during the time interweaving, we built售 plant. We opened this plant for operation on the 17th of June. And, after five months of operation we were able to file incorporation papers in Austin, for a $40,000 capital stock. Our assets showing $20,553. We think you will (from the above statement) grant us the right to say we glory in the past.
Now with inference to the future, we have plans on, and night unto completion for $40,000 to be built in Dallas in the next 90 days. In this plant we ex-pet to use upwards of 150 people of our race every day, and we also expect to save the wants of all our people within the radius of 100 miles of Dallas in candy, ice cream, and ice cream cones, and the needs of the school and the sea (garanteed) plea in the world; all of the above and many other household necessities, we expect to put on the market in paying quantities.
Individually we have done remarkably well. Individually among us we have been able to grow $900,000; individuals among us own 1 million farms; individuals among us have to struggle with some splendid business projects. We are far from pauper. Individually this man is a real rivalry has accustomed this individual effort. As a race we stand now and we are not alone. The green is made only because one individual desire to outstrip his efforts. But we must move forward, and that speedy, toward an age of cooperation. That is the second lesson we have learned from mankind of this new day. The day of every man for himself has
Major Wright then reviewed the War record of Negroes of America stating that the "new day" began in 1865 when the United States declared that the World War was not yet, safe for democracy but that all of the nations of the world were now in the process of re-adjustment. He declared that the part of the Negro in this great re-adjustment was the painting of his own group to the end that greater financial strength might be gained. He said: "Ouyest great need at the time of the war, and it makes it serve us. Cooperation is the only means of obtaining this result. Any race which cannot produce the same degree of cooperation at the bottom of the world's affair."
Continuing he declared that "in the country we are compelled to work the country in which we have no voice and take no part three hundred thousand million dollars of Negro land and positions—not for Negroes but for white men. One corporation alone which is patronized by two Negroes of Negroes of America from the country does not a dollar of that staggering sum go to a Negro in its employ for though it has more than 12,000 men on its pay-
Let us not feel that this old way is good enough. Let us cease to be satisfied to collect for the other because we are not so lucky to be hacking in the essentials of financial stability. We can do for ourselves. Negroes have both monarchs and queens, but we know not how to use it." He then told of the case of a Negro farmer of Georgia who owned a farm and left his family destitute because he had entrusted all of his affairs to a white administrator; who saw it as a power by the combinations of Negro capital which were possible. He spoke at length of his plan to seize the land and the success with which he was meeting declaring that "though I may not live to see to completion my dream, I will see it through to a higher degree of success than even I now can imagine. We must continue for years. At the close of Major Wrights addreses Prof. N. W. Harlee speaks briefly in commendation of it and the project which the Major is for."
Major Wright appeared Sunday morning at Bethel A. M. I. Church Sunday afternoon for the C. A. at New Hope Baptist Church and night at New Hope Baptist Church. The visit of the Major to Dallas was made duly commemorated by rest in the school houses of early days are realities here. Many convalesions were held in his honor by them and no ant. Among his former schoolmates and acquaintances are Rev. A. S. Jackson, pastor of New Hope Baptist Church, Marcia Harris and Mrs. S. A. Hive. While in the city he was the guest of Rev. C. W. Ahington who has charge of his linen in the school. Major Wright left Sunday night for San Antonio.

North brooms and humidifiers were forced to spread Friday night in, covering themselves with mattresses and a knot in the floor. Mayor Clark has requested the State Highway Commission to repair a public utility project that would arm workers to the heavy haul unloading an entire city. Mayor Samuel Bernauer and
others of influence would be asked to bring their influence to bear on the commission to grant this plea.

Most of the business establishments destroyed employed Carter, Carter chief, of the Southern Division of the Red Cross, who is in charge of the relief work of the fire department in day in which he said the situation is well in sand, and that every effort was being put forth and prepared to prevent any possible endemics.

han never hoisted the white feather, neither has it been disgraced by the yellow streak. It is not afflicted with the flannel mouth. It is in a plain, every day, sensible, conservative nonapostrophe. It passes the passing breasts; flies on a unpleasant flag: It performs a patriotism as broad as the country. Its love of occult justice covers all the territories occupied by the human race. This is pretty high ground, and the only reason Boyd, boys of the press come up and stand with us. This ground is holy.
CHRISTMAS
Again we come to the celebration of the day upon which The Savior of the World, the Prince of Peace of the World, the Prince of Peace of "That God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son." At this season it is fitting that we individually and collectively build ourselves and realize that in many ways God's Great Gift is not being fully appreciated and could be asked by us with prait to ourselves, at this season.
Do we realize day by day that spirit of reverence and thankfulness is the spirit of Christ in men which shows itself in the multitude of benevolent institutions which indulge at the disposal of society in an ever increasing number day by day?
Do we realize that we share in the advent of our heavenly begin in the world with the advent of our Recessor, have a definite duty to perform in showing our willingness to help in its settlement?
Something of the full realization of these truths should be ours as we age. We should Christianize them, we can in such a way do it, we can fully realize the appeal of that first. Christmas morning, we could extend to the children the triumph of our Lord and the angels sang their gladdenness, wow to all the children, and on earth Peace and Goodwill toward men."
At though absence of this great day demands that in our every moment we should be the feeling of peace and goodwill which only true thankfulness to an All wise Jewish can bring.
Who can remember when everybody went to church on Christmas morning?
It has about proton (?) now that parents believe in Saints Claus more than their babies do.
It takes a rightly mean man to take up a Christian pleasure more than anything else, the less fortunate about him to greater joy.
We are also wondering how many nice white lilies are going to be cold to friends who have us just what we didn't need.

But those of such be the case let such a monum for them it will serve its purpose. We are than number is decreasing. To them let it be a remin long since departed—we hope forever.
The memory of "the faithful Colored manners of the South" would be perpetuated in bronze and granite, under a resolution offered in Congress by Senator Williams, of Mississippi.
The measure would direct the chief of engineers of the army to select a site in Washington and permit Jefferson Davis Chapter, No. 1,850, United Daughters of the Confederacy, to erect the monument as a "gift to the people of the United States" as a sincere tribute to a fast vanishing generation of us—"faithful Negro Mammies," without reference to whom no white person's speech before a Negro audience was ever complete.
It is possible that there is a sincere and deep feeling of love for them existing in the breasts of "their children" whom they nursed and nurtured and helped to raise. That such a sentiment should prompt a memorial to them appeals to us as highly fitting.
But we, the descendants of these "mammies," also taught at their knees and raised by them in the fear of God together with a love of freedom, wonder why more lasting evidence of this love should be remembered and constructive effort at the betterment of their descendants who no less than they are working efficiently for the improvement of the section in which they live.
Slavery and its relies belong to a by-gone day. It is our opinion that society as a whole should remember it only as a means of marking the progress of civilization since its abolition as an American custom.
Some there are however to whom this progress has caused only regret. Some there are who still long for the "good old days" and who quarrels. We cannot be sure that this monument is not the result of such a sentiment which would clarify those days.
But even if such be the case let such a monument be raised For them it will serve its purpose. We are thankful that their number is decreasing. To them let it be a reminder of a glory long since departed—we hope forever.
To us it will mean something totally different.

THE MESSAGE OF MAJOR R. R. WRIGHT.
Were it true that the visit to Dallas of Major gave opportunity only for the sight and acquaint famous and picturesque a character; our city mightulate itself upon his decision to spend a few days,unfortunately we are not forced to gain our maximumprofit from this source alone. Major Wright brougeltive message to Dallas; a message so far differentnally delivered by our orators that we feel justifiit it so well worthy of perpetuation.
Were it true that the visit to Dallas of Major R. R. Wright gave opportunity only for the sight and acquaintance with so famous and picturesque a character, our city might well congratulate itself upon his decision to spend a few days here. But fortunately we are not forced to gain our maximum pleasure and profit from this source alone. Major Wright brought a constructive message to Dallas; a message so far different to those usually delivered by our orators that we feel justified in classing it as a source of inspiration. Simply stated Major Wright urges that Negro money be used more efficiently for the benefit of Negroes. The expression of this thought grew out of a statement of his to the effect that "a race which can not produce financial giants must sooner or later find itself at the bottom of the ladder of civilization."
Another and no less striking thought was expressed by him to the effect that "young men are the race's greatest assets. Cooperation stimulated today will result in greatness on the morrow." He dram. "In conclusion he declared that "Dallas need a Negro bank."
To have said that Dallas needs a Negro bank was to have uttered a truth gainssaid by none who are in possession of the facts. Our business life lags, our property owners are fewer, our participation in the business life of our city lessened by reason of the fact that we must depend for our financial expansion upon the whim and caprice of others.
Dallas can afford a bank. It can support it. It ought to have it.
Savings belonging to Negroes in Dallas banks have been said to total more than one million dollars.
As conditions now stand it is true that "we only act as collector for the other man pooling our money so that it may be better used by him to give employment to more of his people. And in this connection be it said that such a course would be satisfactory could we but find ourselves able to take care of our own needs. But we are not; yet we neglect ourselves to help others less well than their own needs.
Such a course of reasoning cannot be discarded as valueless for few of us who seek to grow have not been made to realize how powerless we are with no virile financial organizations of our own. Without access to money men with ideas of value are condemned to failure and oblivion.
Money talks in a language which all men respect. Nations, races and individuals who lay claim to greatness must have it or be able to control it and direct to serve their need. Such is not our lot in Dallas. And it is not so primarily because we as yet need to improve our ability to do this and the urgent need of it is being done.
If the visit of Major Wright and his message serve only to impress our lack of financial strength and our need for it upon us, he will have done for us an inestimable service.
In one way at least Clemenceau's visit was a success. Our folks feel that France is not ashamed of her fairness to Colonial troops.
As we see it Senator Harrison just got to talk about the Liberian loan and when he ran out of definite information he just kept on talking.
Again Representative Tinkham suggests to President Harding the suffrage question as a good way to really accomplish something. Evidently he doesn't recognize in the G. O. P. idol the "Great Procrastinator."
The Dyer Bill is dead. Talk killed it. The G. O. P. will not begin to realize how many mourners its death caused till 1924.
Perry Howard accuses the N. A. A. C. P. of causing the death of the Dyer Bill. His prattings will probably cause him no little of comfort when he learns that few if any of us thank him for doing his bit to I end it.
Some day the G. O. P. will actually become the "real ship." Otherwise give us the sea.
Georgia editors are commending Dr. Moton on his "good will to fear." Why doesn't somebody invite him to Texas. We really need him here.

UNANSWERABLE.
Had the Dyer anti-lynching bill been introduced in the period when Senator Tillman was earning the title "Pitchford Pen" it would have been condemned by a South Carolina Senator in terms wholly different from the terms in which Senator Underwood condemns it.
Of course, the advocates of the bill, politicians strive to make political capital of their support of it, will charge every opponent with opposing interference with machinations which constitute make safe for participants. But anyone who nourishes the slightest sentiment for the sovereignty exists under the organic law by which the Union was constituted, must admit that Senator Underwood is unanswerable when he says.
The passage of this bill would tear down the last vestige of the integrity of State governments.
The Underwood, in announcing that a deadlock of the business of Congress will result if the advocates of the bill insist upon pushing it, and that the minority will assume full responsibility for their action, is taking a stand for State sovereignty in circumstances which should not be ignored. The record of conscientious public service is as clear as that under
There is, by the way, in the Administration's programme for this Congress no business that is of more importance than defense of the rights of States. If the functioning of Congress would be blocked by the obstinacy of advocates of the Dyer bill the loss to America would be inconsiderable by comparison with the enactment of the Dyer bill would involve in the event of its being enacted and becoming Federal law. Of course, its passage would not mean that it would become law. The United States Supreme Court would be asked to pass upon its constitutionality. The question put to that body would be, in substance; Shall State rights be abolished? —Louisville (Ky) Courrier Journal.
THE REDS WILL NOT "CONVERT" THE AMERICAN NEGRO
From the Soviet Russian capital comes the somewhat sensational news that the Third Internationale, now in session there, proposes to assume a protectorate over the American Negro and, indeed, to pose as the black race's champion everywhere! A world congress is to be held in Moscow—or somewhere in the United States—at which the Negroes will consider plans for "bettering themselves and asserting their fight." Inferentially, that will be under "Red" direction.
An American Negro delegate to the Internationale is quoted as painting a pathetic picture of the race's industrial and economic "enslavement" in this country. "The Negroes feel that their route to liberation lies with Moscow he said expressing the hope that many of his Negro fellow communities will be army and navy.
That sort of talk is ridiculous and insulting, gave that it affords certain fuel to feed the flames of racial prejudice and animosity—which they delight to kilearch afresh upon the least pretext. Every sane, judicious-minded person knows that the rabid agitator presuming to represent the American Negro, in Moscow, speaks for no consequential number of his race. The average American Negro is too levelheaded to be misled by any such folly. Rumors have been afloat before, that Communist agents had invaded the Southern field; and these have proved quite as groundless as the wartime talk of Negro "insurrection" or previous I. W. w. scares. The Negro has refused to listen to Red agents. If there have been any—just as he ignored the illuring advances of the enemy in war or the syndicalist "organizer."
several movements have been launched to colonize the Negro in Africa, but have met little response. Negroes have been persuaded to move North, better living conditions, educational advancements and economic opportunities—and the great majority then, after a brief sojourn, have left their new environment in despair, and returned to the South.
Long since, the intelligent Negro learned that his worst enemy is the professional "champion" of his "cause"—like the Moscow agitator—and that he has no stunten friend than the decent Southern white man with whom he was reared. No one else understands him so well or has a more sincere solicitude for his welfare and betterment. The South needs the Negro, and the Negro needs the South. This fact always has been recognized by broad-minded groups of either race and its universal acceptance which is sure to come in time, would solve the socalled Negro problem.
More and more, the two races are coming to understand that they have common interests and there is no essential inborn antagonism. And both have a common foe that would stir up primal passions and age-old hatred, such as are ventured in mob-murder and sporadic "race wars."
Growth of this understanding is manifest in such co-operative organizations as the inter racial commissions in Nashville and Atlanta. Therein, leaders of the two races have joined to combat crime and lynch "law," and to promote education and betterment enterprises. In Georgia—where the then Governor, M. Dorsey, appointed a State Committee on Race and Justice—there is a remarkable growth in anti-lynchning sentiment. Twenty- two indictments and four convictions for mob crimes this year!
These are but manifestations of a bad, lawful spirit that is growing throughout the South, despite the efforts of bigoted groups and secret societies to sow fresh seeds of discord and prejudice. Gradually and surely the Negro is improving his own condition. He is learning the path to a better life and knows that it lies not in following the venial agitator, but through his own industry, through education, and the wise co-operation of his white friends and neighbors.
The Negro's role in the Red agent eductions, he might inquire what Bohannism has done for Russia. At least, the Southern Negro have not died by wholesale of starvation.
The so-called Dyer anti-lynching bill, which has been passed in the house of representatives and is now pending in the senate, has naturally become the subject of a democratic filibuster which, in the present condition of legislation and the desire of the administration to "clean up" as far as possible with its announced policies before the new congress of 1918, has been called "the Dyer bill." The surrender Harrison, of Milwaukee, and Senator Underwood, of Alabama, backed by all their colleagues on the democratic side, have declared that it shall not pass. Of course, their attitude of maintaining the rights of the states to control their own internal affairs in a large way strains party consistency, but it is gratifying to know that they have at last become sensitive to the retention of whatever rights are now left to the states. As Mr. Underwood very frankly said, the passage of this measure in the present realest state of the public mind will be dangerous to the public. The state legislature has been called a public. The people have borne about as much federal interference with their rights as they are going to stand, so that the senate ought to be warned against further legislation in that direction. We have the absolute contempt in which the Voluntary act in hold by all classes of the people as a rich example of what we may expect if, through a purely political runeer in the congress, another act curtailing the police powers of the states; and introducing more federal meddling in purely local affairs shall be placed upon the statute books. The senate has been a warning to the majority that the law they propose to put on the states will not be enforced, or, if it is, it will be at the end of federal bayonets; and it does not require much thought to understand what will happen when federal bayonets
He whistled a gay Christmas tune and thought of the many happy scenes of which he had been a part of the holiday season. To him all the year, he had always had a fir tree from the hillside bedecked in shiny ornaments, popcorn 'strings', and candy canes. To him the holiday festivities were always mithful and gay, while Christmas in Cynthia and Aunt Dita's little home had never been a felicitous event. To him the holiday festivities about how to make things jolly on Santa's busiest day, and I believe I do, some little cabin is going to be the scene of a jolly gift, and the pathway is a tree that would look well adoring someone's sitting room."
And when the Merry Christmas bell do ring
Across the fields of Silverdale so white,
A message of good cheer they'll call
To Cynthia and Aunt Dita at the sight
Of Santa's miniature reindeer three, and mysterious bended head up high
Clustering 'round a glowing Christmas tree,
Then the Yuletide is now nigh.
FIGHT FOR ANTI-LYNCHING LEGISLATIAN TO CONTINUE. REVOLT AGAINST OLD LEADERS FEARED.
(By A. N. P.)
Washington, D. C. Dec.—IN THE BRIGHT LEXICON OF COLORED AMERICANS, THERE IS NO SUCH text for the future before the race.
Those who have expected imitationations because of the failure of the army are, in the meantime, well be to bitter and final disappointment.
There are protestations, determinations, accusations, and hellions, Americans are passing through the most critical stage of their national crisis. Americans are passing through the most critical stage of their national crisis. There is going to be something happen, but what it is, none can say be rather dangerous for someone to run out of fire through beech and yell "Fire."
The excitement that would follow might make interesting front page content.
Political Situation Complex
The political situation makes the outlook most complex. Both by directness and unfortunately, Colored citizens have been placed in the most unnatural position politically. Always counted on to be counted on as "sure things" by white politicians, the dope has been amazingly baked to the unfortunately deliberate efforts to more or less embarrass Colored citizens who have steadfastly backed the Republican party. The irony of "Patey." Practically everything to which Republicans have set their sights on has precipitation and good will, has run up against a stone wall of demagogic and unimaginable minority Democracy. Aided by supposed Republicans.
The Democrats have blocked the name, admitted it, and told the Republicans to stop the soaring too big, nor have they failed to stop to anything too low. They have themselves and Republican hope.
Outside of Arthur G. Froe, as Recorder of Deeds, and Solomon P. Democrates, the Democrats have advanced, steadily opposition to the consideration of any Colored American for an importation confirmation. It is the firsttime in American politics that such tactics have been so permanently successful. Democrates Expect Support The number of colored citizens in North voted the Democratic ticket in Nov., as a protest, in one way and another. In the North, expect sensible Colored voters to support their candidates for office, when here in Washington, the mercy of the unyielding and unreasonable demagogs of the South? It has been talked about Washington, the citizens of Color have been playing into the hands of southern Democrats. Investigation disclosures that there are unrequantance with some of the most rabid of the South's rabble but no evidence has been found of the acquaintance.
shall be invoked to discipline a liberty loving people.
Filibusters aren't always tolerable, but in this case the country will cry "Amens!" to Senators Woodward and Harrison and their democratic colleagues or having instituted it against this infamous bit of legislation. No newspaper in the country has more openly, persistently and consistently fought ynch law and the methods of the mob than The Chattanooga Times, but the Chattanooga Times believes that if the states in their sovereign capacity cannot and will not put down these twin evils the federal government will only make them worse by any unwarranted interference in a matter with which it is not concerned. The states have got to do it or it will not be done. — Chattanooga Times

While Buck Dale, recently returned to town, watched the cottage window as the early dark, he noticed the little warfawer and wondered what had sent her there.

YOUNG WOMAN LAME 18
MONTHS DISCAIRDS COUCH AND
WALKS FROM CHURCH.
All of Dallas has been startled by what appears to be an almost miraculous cure of lanceae effect, last Friday morning in St. James A. M. E. Tempel by Rev. Jeremiah, evangelist and divine healer recently. Miss Effie White, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Finley, 604 Good street, was raised from a crouch to a throne in the thirteen months by rheumatism, unable to move herself or walk, and given strength to walk about the church. Spectators Dumfounded. Though Elder Jeremiah had been as a healer no particular demons were encountered, he been manifested during the preceding meetings and the healing of this young lady, who is credited by no observer.
She had been brought into the church upon a cot. Upon reaching the statement to the effect that if she had faith enough she could step forth and walk unaided. She believably limbs to the side of the cot and placed them flatingly upon the floor; then as slowly she stood up, she looked down at her limbs was using her limbs which for so long had failed her. He told her to walk believing that she could and was walking down the church; down its steps and to her home nearly a block removed from the church she was willing bows her head.
Has Accumulated Much Property.
If appearances count for anything
necessary for life. Dressed in a long
flowering robe of silk, embroidered
with a pattern of flowers, he
has every appearance of opulence.
His company consists of seven per-
sonals beside him. They came to
the company in model cars of high price and
standard make. A competent chauffeur
mechanic is a member of the party.
It is reported that in Houston
from which the company came that
five other people attended and paid for a handsome church, saffron and other property to the count $5000.
Many Others Report Cures.
While the cure of the crippled
patient occurred, occurring his stay in
Dallas so far, many other sick per-
sonals attending his meetings and
reporting their conditions much improved. Crowds attend all of his
patients, which begin each morning at 9 o'clock.
