Details and Comments on East St. Louis Outrages--Negroes Did Not Start Trouble Outbreak Caused by White Men In Automobile Shooting Into Negro Homes Sunday Night. Policemen Mistaken For Rioters Slain. Negro Blood Rut Details and Comments on East St. Louis Outbreak Caused by White Men In Au Sunday Night. Policemen The entire country has been aroused to a sense of shame and pity by the magnitude of the national disgrace enacted by the blood thirsty rioters in East St. Louis Monday, July 2. So much has been said in the daily press about the affair that it would be a waste of time to review the facts in the horrible massacree were it not for the false reports made and the probable result on the minds of the people. Although the fact that Negroes were armed when the rioting was renewed has given credit to the claim that they were planning an uprising, investigation shows that arming was only for self-protection. Eye witnesses of the initial conflict last Sunday night disprove the first reports of the press. The trouble was not started by the Negroes. It dates back to the first riot on May 28. Since that time Negroes have been waylaid and beaten by white thugs, without provocation daily. Last Sunday night a Negro was seized by a gang near the Municipal Bridge and in self-defense, he managed to get his gun and shot one of his assailants. Later in the evening, or some time after midnight, an automobile loaded with white men traversed a portion of the Colored district, speeding at a rapid rate and its occupants shooting into the homes of the residents. These shots aroused the tenants. So far as the ringing of a church bell, calling them to arms, no one claims to have heard it. The only claim is made in the daily press. The firing of shots, alone, caused the men to come out into their yards and on the streets to ascertain the trouble. Following this, another automobile came on the scene and the Negroes immediately fired upon it, thinking this was another machine with lawless occupants whose purpose was to repeat the acts of the preceding one. They, however proved to be police officers, who were drawn to the scene by the shots fired by the occupants of the first car. One officer was killed and another wounded. The automobile shows indications of being hit five or six times How many were in the crowd is uncertain, but there was no "military formation" as stated. The Negroes deny that there was any exchange of words and the report that they had said, "We don't need your protection," was only a statement that had been made by some one over a month ago and was coupled with this report to give it color. According to one account prior to the plain clothes officers coming in contact with the Colored men in the public square, four or five men who looked like them rode through the Colored district in an auto and amused themselves by loudly cussing and damning the Colored people, shooting in to their homes, finally ending up by foully killing one Colored woman and no pen or tongue can ever describe the most appalling and heart rendering scenes that were enacted in that hell-hole of creation after that, for in the twinkling of an eye two or three thousand white gentlemen appeared on the streets as though they had sprang out of the earth and without one moments hesitation they in the most cold-blooded and savage manner began to shoot down every Colored man, woman and child that they could come in contact with, some of them were eighty and ninety years old and were not able to harm anyone yet their lives were horribly ended with glee on the part of those hellish murderers; while those terrible brutish scenes were being enacted the big, burly, brutal and cowardly police of that city were fully steeped in race prejudice and cowardice. At the first outbreaking of the mob one month ago compelled all the Colored women to expose their lower extremities while they, the police officers, searched them for concealed weapons, at that very time every manly Colored man would have been fully justified in taking a dead sure shot at every police officer who attempted to take such shameless undue liberties with respectable Colored women, and on Sunday evening these same police officers under the instructions of Fred W. Mollman the spine less mayor of East St. Louis, invaded the homes of the Colored people and completely disarmed every one of them so that they would absolutely at the mercy of the mob, but no attempt whatever was made by them to disarm one single white gentemen and not the slightest attempt was made on the part of the would-be police to maintain law and order which and should be Supreme all the time at any cost, on the other hand, police from Chief Ransome Payne on down to the lowest man on the force were in hearty sympathy to the fore uns Like Water.

Argus Reporter on Scene. A reporter for the St. Louis Argus arrived on the scene Monday afternoon and his account of the horrible carnage that was perpetrated in this great manufacturing center of Lincoln, from that time until midnight, is beyond the belief of intelligent manhood. Never before in the history of the "Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave" has humanity stooped to such depths of savagery and committed such atrocious crimes. The statements of the daily press about the cruelty to the Negroes administered by the blood-thirsty mob and the laxity of the police and militia were not exaggerated. While our reporter states that there were no less than one hundred Negro men, women and children shot, tortured and burned to death, he believes there were more. How many, no one may ever know. More than two hundred homes were destroyed, with all their contents. The scene of the destruction of life and property was not in the thickly populated district, the mob was too Edwardly to invade it, but vented its fury on isolated spots and helpless victims. It had no choice. It was as a sporting crowd, hunting for game. Innocent men, women and children fleeing from their burning homes, plead for mercy, but were shot down and their bodies thrown back to be consumed by the flames. Injured men were dispatched on to death by clubbing, stoning and stamping. Dying victims were strung to poles and others thrown in the water to drown. And all of this occurred before the eyes of the police and within range of the guns of the militia, yet no effort was made to check the fury of the mob. Over in St. Louis they are caring for hundred of refugees. The Red Cross got into action at once, white girls from good homes working side by side with Negro girls to check up names and care for the destitute. In the municipal lodging house a tot cried endlessly: "I want my daddy; I want my daddy." I asked the mother where "daddy" was. She didn't know, and maybe never will. Henry Woodruff told me he ran from his home into a soldier's arms, and that's all that saved him. Prof. Martin Lucas, Negro principal, hid all night in a swamp and escaped across the river. One man swam the river. For two months there has been trouble smoldering here. More than 5000 Negroes have come in within have a year. About 12 square blocks are swept of everything that will burn. Twisted iron beds—frequently two in a room, as you can easily see—cheap cook stoves and iron utensils, things that is left except that in many of these little beds of ashes are human bones. A Haunted City. Under the pile of bricks that once was an opera house seating 3000 it is expected from 25 to 50 bodies will be found. Meanwhile this is a haunted city for Negroes. I have been watching an endless procession going out under militia procession—going out with only the clothes on their backs and crude little bundles filled with—who knows what? Many white ladies with all their so-called culture and refinement with the greatest of ease readily transformed themselves into the most revolting specimens of humanity and freely joined their blood stained hands with those of the ring leaders of the mob; they in the most edifying manner led off in the most highly laudable Christian work of dragging Colcred women from the street cars, beating them over their heads with their shoes, clubs, brickbats and so on, pulling out their hair, scratching and cutting them in the face and in some instances even the white gentlemen assisted the fair white ladies to commit those high-handed crimes against society. law and order. To the everlasting credit of one white lady she bravely and bitterly protested against such brutal treatment of Colored women by white gentlemen and she declared that if they were 'true American citizens they wouldst once further refrain from commiting such vicious --- acts of anarchy and lawlessness.' and the white gentlemen simply jeered and sneered at her and some of them had to be restrained from striking her aud if we would have been present we would have endeavored to have shot the first man clear through his law defying head who would attempted to harm one hair on her true American head: for whoever she was and whatever her station in life might be, she is one of the most queenly women that has ever lived in any part of the world Some of the white ladies who assisted to give full vent to the racial spleen against the Colored women and who were most active in dragging them from the street cars, became so unnerved with the excitement that they fell down in dead faints right in the middle of the streets, think of the demoralizing effect of their brutish conduct will continue to be cast black upon the future generations of that poorly governed town: that in connection with the other heart-rendering and sickening scenes which they greatly enjoyed as so much sport or fun will in time drive them crazy or transtorm them into raving maniacs. It is horrible to contemplate what the future has in store for them and their offsprings. Many of those poor unhappy creatures had just escaped from the blood hounds and the savage mobs of the South and by coming to Illinois, the home of Abraham Lincoln, they felt that by working real hard in time that they would be able to create new homes for themselves and finally set tle down to a life of job or or happiness, but after all they were simply dreaming falsely for a very short time they were confronted with the same kind of mob and lynch law with all of its attending horrors right here in the grand old State of Illinois which they had left behind them in the rotten Southland. Thousands of refugees have been fleeing from East St. Louis since Sunday night. The majority have crossed the river into St. Louis and hundreds and hundreds went immediately to Union Station where they took trains to other cities, in most instances turning a deaf ear to the call of the call of the South. The Big Four Railroad is taking many east to work on the company lines and several large establishments in St. Louis are offering employment. Agents of the freighthouses on the East Side came over Thursday and begged the men to return, guaranteeing protection but there was no inclination on the part of the men to risk the return at present. As fast as the refugees have arrived in St. Louis they have been taken in automobiles to the Municipal Lodging House 110-112 S. 12th st., where they are registered and vaccinated FIVE CENTSJA COPY. DR. C. D. DoFRANTZ SUG CUMBS AFTER SERIOUS ILLNESS. It is with sad hearts that we announce the death of our Christian friend and brother, Dr. C. D. DeFrantz, who departed this life Thursday at 12:30 a. m., after a very serious illness. The funeral will be held Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock from Zion Baptist Church. The body will lie in state at his late residence Sunday morning from 9 to 10:30. and persons desiring to view the remains will take advantage of this opportunity as the casket will not be opened at the church. Many of them presented a most pitiful sight and their tales of suffering are heart-rending. Only a few families are intact. In most cases some member was missing and a wailing plea is constantly heard: "Will you please try to find my relative." They have lost all they possessed and many are without clothes enough to cover their bodies. The local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People took the initiative in arranging to care for the unfortunate East St. Louisans. As soon as the condition was known, the Executive Committee, through their chairman, Chas A. Pittman, called a meeting at Pythran Hall in which a couple of hundred citizens from St. Louis and East St. Louis attended. It seemed for a while Tues day that some international complications would result from the work of the East St. Louis riot when Dr, Barret, of East St. Louis, appealed to the British Counsel, Mr. Pearson, at St. Louis, for protection as a British subject. Mr. Pearson called Mayor Mollman and demanded protection for all British subjects otherwise the United States Government would be involved. It is stated that a special guard has been placed around Dr Barrett's office and his automobile was placed in the city's garage for safe keeping. Dr. E. H. Gordon, a physician, with offices at 2607 Lawton, who is also a British subject was offered protection when he had a professional call to the East side. At the same time Undertaker Green who is a loyal American, was refused protection, being told it was dangerous, when he wanted to return home to arrange a funeral. That more whites were killed ed and injured than given in reports, is evident from what was seen during Tuesday afternoon and night. The loss of property will be great and according to statements made to the reporter by heads of big manu facturing concerns, many places will be compelled to close until the government will guarantee protection. Insomuch as the public will form its opinion largely upon the daily press reports, it is advisable to state that the account of the affair as given in (Continued on page 3) Church News CAMPBELL CHAPEL AFRICAN M E.

The report of Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones of the bureau of education at Washington on the progress and facilities for the education of the colored people is the most complete work on the subject which has ever been given to the public. For the past three years Dr. Jones has been travelling, gathering information and studying the subject of education for the race. Discussing race needs as they apply to rural life, Dr. Jones says: "Next to the need of a genuine appreciation of the importance of rural education in the development of the colored people and of the south is the demand for a clearly defined program of courses adapted to the age and attitude of the pupils and to the income and general plan of the institution and its teachers. Hitherto the prevailing conception of agricultural education seems to have required elaborate courses in theory, a large farm and extensive equipment both in machinery and in stock. The majority of the schools, realizing that they had neither the inclination nor the financial means to undertake such a plan, followed their own desires and devoted their energy to literary courses. "The few schools that were sufficiently interested to try to teach agriculture plunged in at an elaborate rate, and almost all of them failed to realize their purposes. It is not to be understood that this failure means that no good resulted from their efforts. On the contrary, very important gains were made in overcoming the deep dislike for the soil which generations of slavery had developed. Through the elaborate equipment and the complexities of agricultural theory the Negro youth and his parents began to believe that some education might be obtained in agricultural schools. "It would therefore be quite unjust to claim that no good resulted from the elaborate method. The real criticism is that a large number of schools were led to believe the teaching of agriculture to be beyond their financial means and equipment and that the schools attempting agriculture did so at considerably larger cost than was necessary. The improvement of rural conditions and the proper cultivation of the soil require at least five types of instruction adapted to the varying needs of the five groups whose interest is to be awakened. They are: "First.—Science and practice of gardening for all pupils in rural and urban schools. "Second.—Science and practice in gardening, with instruction in civics, economics and teacher training for all secondary pupils and persons preparing to be ministers and teachers." "Third.-Two year courses in agriculture to prepare farmers for the cultivation of the usual thirty or forty acre farm. "Fourth.-Four year courses for those desiring to be agricultural teachers, farm demonstrators or managers of large farms. "Fifth.-Rural extension activities for the entire community. The needs of the pupils and the limited school equipment of a majority of the colored school admit of only one or at most two of these courses. "No phase of agricultural instruction has been so much neglected as gardening. The propaganda for country life and agriculture in America seems to have overlooked the garden and to have left it to the whims of the suburban soil enthusiast. No phase of soil culture has such a variety of important possibilities as gardening. These possibilities include the economic returns of the home garden, both in town and country, and especially its use to supplement the salary of the rural teacher and minister. They include the educational value of the garden as an elementary school activity, as an illustration of intensive agriculture, as a laboratory for agricultural schools and as the recruiting field in which pupils may be introduced to the wonders of soil culture and thus won for service in rural life. Furthermore, gardening has unique value in the cultivation of character, both in the individual and in the family. This social value is attained by the union of the family in the planting and cultivation, by exchange and co-operation with the neighbors similarly engaged and by the development of marketing skill and habits of saving small earnings. "In view of the large proportion of colored people in rural districts and on farms it is evident that every secondary school and every private and higher institution should make it possible for pupils to appreciate the economic and social significance of gardening and soil cultivation, to know the relation of soil to soul, to know that farming is not mere drudgery, but the source of culture as well as of prosperity. Such is the importance of rural life that the teachers of other subjects should use every opportunity which their subjects offer to arouse interest in the improvement of rural conditions."

Negro Blood Runs Like Water. (Continued from page 1) the final edition of the Globe Democrat Tuesday morning, July 3, was the fairest and most recnrate. Carlos F. Hure, in the home edition of the Post-Dispatch on the same date, also gives a fair statement of the doings of the barbarous mob. Editorials in these two dailies and the St. Louis Star showed that the editors took high ground and condemned mob violence in no uncertain terms. A news item appearing in the "Sunrise Extra" of the St. Louis Republic, July 5, was biased and bore the earmarks of the yellow journalism that incites mob violence. The most horrible, blood curdling and wanton massacre of unarmed and defenseless negroes ever recorded in this country (Land of the Free and Home of the Brave) occurred last Monday at East St. Louis, Ill., where 38 negro men, women and children, two of whom were less than 3 years of age, were foully murdered, more than 325 homes belonging to or occupied by them being burned and a reign of terror instituted. Be it said to their credit and altho unarmed the police and militia having visited their homes during the day and confiscated all available weapons of defense they succeeded, according to a reliable report brought us by a railroad porter who witnessed the difficulty in killing 21 of the mob in addition to the four who had been killed earlier in the day. That such a thing could happen in the face of illinois that gave to the world a Lincoln, a Logan, and a Summer was beyond belief and regardless of the various causes it remains undenied that the police and militia acted in a most cowardly and criminal manner. The Sun is unable to present any more accurate or truthful account than the following article taken from the columns of a St. Louis daily paper which it presents in all its dreadfulness and horror to its thousands of readers: SLAIN AS THEY BEGGED MERCY. Murderous Ease. St. Louis East. The Battery. St. Louis, July 3.—For an hour and a half last evening I saw the massacre of helpless negroes at Broadway and Fourth street, in downtown East St. Louis, where a black skin was a death warrant. I have read of St. Bartholomew's night. I have heard stories of the latter day crimes of the Turks in Armenia and I have learned to loathe the German army for its barbarity in Belgium. But I do not believe that Moslem fanaticism or Prussian frightfulness could perpetrate murders of more deliberate brutality than those which I saw committed in daylight by citizens of the state of Abraham Lincoln. I saw man after man, with hands raised, pleading for his life, surrounded by groups of men—men who had never seen him before and knew nothing about him except that he was black—and saw them administer the historic sentence of intolerance, death by stoning. I saw one of these men, almost dead from a savage shower of stones, hanged with a clothesline, and when it broke, hanged with a rope which held. Within a few paces of the pole from which he was suspended four other negroes lay dead or dying, another having been removed, dead, a short time before. I saw the pockets of two of these negroes searched, without the finding of any weapon. I saw one of these men, covered with blood and half conscious, raise himself on his elbow and look feebly about, when a young man, standing directly behind him, lifted a stone in both hands and hurled it upon his neck. This young man was much better dressed than most of the others. He walked away unmolested. I saw Negro women, begging for mercy and pleading that they had harmed no one, set upon by white women of the baser sort, who laughed and answered the coarse sallies of men as they beat the negro women's faces and breasts with fists, stones and sticks. I saw one of these furies fling herself at a militiaman, who was trying to protect a negro woman, and wrestle with him for his bayonetted gun, while other women attacked the refuge. What I saw in ninety minutes, between 6:30 o'clock and the lurid coming of darkness, was but one local scene of the drama of death which continued for hours. I am satisfied that in spirit and method it typified the whole. The East St. Louis men took no chances, except the chance from stray shots, which every spectator of their acts took. They went in small groups; there was little leadership, but there was a horribly cool deliberateness and a spirit of fun about it. I cannot allow even the doubtful excuse of drink. No man whom I saw showed the effect of liquor. It was no crowd of hotheaded youths. Young men were in the greater number, but there were the middle aged, no less active in the task of destroying the life of every discoverable black man. It was a shirt-sleeve gathering, and the men were mostly working men, except for some who had the aspect of mere loafers. And a volley of the lead would have stopped these murders. "Get a nigger," was the slogan, and it was varied by the recurrent cry, "get another." It was like nothing so much as the holiday crowd, with thumbs turned down, in the Roman Coliseum, except that here the shouters were their own gladiators and their own wild beasts. When I got off a State street car on Broadway at 6:30, a fire apparatus was on its way to the blaze in the rear of Fourth street, south from Broadway. A moment's survey showed why this fire had been set, and what it was meant to accomplish. The sheds in the rear of negroes' houses which were themselves in the rear of the main buildings on Fourth street, had been ignited to drive out the negro occupants of the houses. And the slayers were waiting for them to come out. It was stay in and be roasted or come out and be slaughtered. A moment before I arrived one negro had taken the desperate chance of coming out, and the rattle of revolver shots, which I heard as I approached the corner, was followed by the cry, "They've got him." And they had. He lay on the pavement, a bullet wound in his head and his skull bare in two places. At every movement of pain which showed that life remained there came a terrific kick in the jaw or the nose, or a crashing stone from some of the men who stood over him. At the corner, a few steps away, were a sergeant and several guardsmen. The sergeant approached the ring of men around the prostrate negro. "This man is done for," he said. "You'd better get him away from here." No one made a move to lift the blood-covered form, and the sergeant walked away, remarking when I questioned him about an ambulance, that the ambulances had quit coming. However, an undertaker's ambulance did come fifteen minutes later and took away the lifeless negro, who had in the meantime been further kicked and stoned.—By Carlos F. Hurd, staff reporter of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.) KISHINEFF. LEEDS AND EAST ST. LOUIS. Elsewhere in this issue we publish the news that in the city of Leeds, first town in Yorkshire and the fifth in the free country of England, pogroms a la Kishineff have been recently perpetrated up the Jews. The populace does not like the Jews. Whether the reason is racial, religious, or economic matters little. The fact stands out boldly that pogroms are possible not only in Russia under the Romanoffs but also in England, where for seven hundred years the Magna Charta is the basis of their constitution. The Englishmen and Englishwomen, who participated in this inglorious demonstration of Christian love, will not change their beastly natures thru the magic wand-club of the policemen who dispersed them. They are hoolgans even if they solemnly recite the Lord's Prayer on Sunday and on the other six days of the week they shout hep! hep! The Jews will not change their nature because of their humiliation and physical and mental anguish. The barrier between the two has been widened. In East St. Louis the white Christian population hung, shot and mal-treated hundreds of negroes. Women vied with men in their inhumanity to the Africana. Pogroms are possible not alone in the land of the autocratic Romanoffs and in the land of the Magna Charta, but also in the land of the Declaration of Independence. The police and troops, who have checked the pogrom in St. Louis, have not changed the beastly nature of the white population. There is no necessity of changing the religion of negroes. It is the same as that of the white. Both are supposed to profess Christianity. This is wherein the Jews have the advantage over the negroes. The Jews don't make a mockery of the word "Love." There is not such an expression as "Jewish Love." The Jews believe in righteousness and justice. Religion has very little to do with pogroms, at least not in this century. Racial hatred and economic competition remain the stumbling block on the path of civilization. Even after the economic tangle will be adjusted, racial differences will remain. The Jews enjoy equal civil rights in England. But the Magna Charta has not eradicated the pogrom instincts. The negroes enjoy equal civil rights in the United States. But our glorious human document, the Declaration of Independence, whose 141st anniversary we celebrated this week, has not succeeded in lifting us to the high ideal of the Jewish Prophet Micah when the white and the black and the yellow will say truthfully and devoutly, "Have we not all one Father? Hath not one God created us?" The negroes of this land are now in distress. They have been subjected to indignities. There are now many widows and orphans, many homeless and destitute among them. All this is due to pogroms made by white lawless hooligans. My fellow Jews, give our brethren, the negroes, your sympathy and if need be your material assistance. Remember, Klashneff, Leeds and St. Louis are all one of a kind.—Denver Jewish Times, Dr. C. D. Spivak. A RACE WAR FOUGHT WITH THE FURY OF SAVAGES. The press dispatches speak of the East St. Louis affair as a race riot. But to characterize that carnival of incendiarism and murder as a riot is not only to minimize the extent of it absurdly, but to obscure the essential nature of it. A riot, whether racial or other, is of more spontaneous origin and of lesser duration. It is the product largely of excitement that subsides and passes with the venting of it. This East St. Louis orgy was in reality a race war, aggravated by industrial enmities. It had long been half-consciously meditated. The outbreak seems to have been occasioned by the action of a body of Negroes in firing on a body of policemen, who, in civilian dress, were mistaken for a mob bent on mischief. But that incident was but the provocation needed to reawaken the racial and industrial animosities which broke out last May and resulted in the killing of several Negroes. Those animosities seem to have been engendered by the opposition of white laborers to the importation of Negroes for work in factories and mills of that city. They were not brought in to supplant white laborers. There was more work than white labor to perform it. Nevertheless their coming was resented, being regarded as an industrial menace to the white laborers. This seems to have been the initial cause of a series of events which culminated in Monday's saturnalia of murder. The press reports of the affair are censurably vague, but they nevertheless leave one little chance to escape the opinion that the sanguinary character of the affair was made possible by the treacherous refusal of the authorities to discharge their duty vigorously. Even the militia seem to have had little heart for the task put upon them. One can not avoid the suspicion, from reading the reports, that they were more disposed to indulge the murderous mobs than to suppress them. Called on to protect the lives of the Negroes, they seem tacitly to have given license to the white men who were engaged in destroying them. And from this, it is hard to avoid the conclusion that the public sentiment of the community sympathized, if not with the murderous work, at least with the cause in behalf of which that work was done. If this is so, the affair betrays a condition of racial hostility more profound and rancorous than any which exists in the South. For there is a spirit of retaliation in most of the crimes which are committed against the Negroes in the South. Southern mobs are usually moved to fury and murder by the commission of crimes by Negroes. This does not, of course, excuse those crimes, nor can it be wrought into an argument to show that the South has been just in its treatment of the negroes. The exodus of Negroes from the South, of which this East St. Louis affair is an incidental consequence, is occasioned by a sense of grievance on the part of the Negroes, a sense of grievance, which, it must be admitted by men of candid minds, is not without warrant. But if the South has not been just to the Negro, and if it has been frequently guilty of atrocious crimes against him, its crimes and fury have not been animated by the hatred of the negroes as a race that is betrayed unmistakably at East St. Louis. This East St. Louis affair is without counterpart in the North or in any part of the country. It is, in a sense, an isolated phenomenon. But in other parts of the North, in which Negroes have gone in large numbers, resentment has been manifested no less unmistakably, though happily les slawlessly and less savagely. The advent of Negroes in numbers large enough to be noticeable is regarded as an industrial intrusion by white laborers, who look upon them, if not as competitors of the moment—which they are not because of the excess of work over labor to perform it—as at least potential competitors of the future when the demand for labor shall shrink to something like normal proportions. The instinctive racial prejudice operates as an excitement to revenge a coming which industrial motives picture as an intrusion, and even an invasion. These circumstances of the matter make it plain that if the Negro is to establish an industrial place for himself in the North, his progress must be so slow as to make it hardly perceptible, or, otherwise, he must reconcile himself to the necessity of having to fight, fight in the physical and bloody sense, for every success he may win. The true and fundamental solution of this grave problem lies as a matter of duty and policy with the South. The South is the negro's natural habitat, and the South has an economic need of him. The interest of the South and of the Negro are complimentary in the truest sense. A policy of justice is likewise the policy of experience. The Negro labor, which the South indispensably needs for its own economic wellbeing, can be retained if the South will, in its treatment of the negro, conform its practices to the chivalrous precepts with which it decorates itself. When the negro goes North, he is moved more by the repulsion of the conditions that beset him in the South than by the attraction o fthose that invite him to the North. His natural preference is to live in the South, but that preference is not so strong that it can not be nullified by the injustices which are done him too frequently in the South. The Negroes of the South are not seeking social equality. They do, however, crave a larger opportunity for educational, economic and social progress than they enjoy, and it is the denial of this which makes so many of them yield to the lure of the North. The South has only to reform its own habits of conduct toward the Negro to keep him contented, and, by doing that, preclude a repetition of the exhibition of savagery which the country has been called on to witness at East St. Louis—News (Dallas, July 4.)

THE RIGHT TO WORK GOD GIVEN RIGHT Whenever any people or set or class of person will, in any country at any time, rise up and dictate who shall and who shall not work, when and where they shall work, times are very critical, and the usefulness of that people or class is near at an end. The right of work by the sweat of man's brow is a God-given right not to be denied by any set of people. In this connection we call attention to the strike at the packing house plants involving three plants with 600 men out. The Star holds and tenaciously maintains the position that no set of laboring people have no right to starve another set of laboring people. That the right to work and live is a sacred right to be defended by blood, sacrifice and suffering. The issue is brought home vividly to the Negroes of Denver and Colorado and now since the Secretary of the State Labor organization has been kind enough to inform the Denver Negroes of the likely consequences, all The Star can say is, that forewarned is forearmed. Don't run, don't dodge the issue; stand up and fight and die in your tracks. After reading the horrors of East St. Louis, you know your duty. For God's sake let us quit ourselves like men and women with the necessary preparedness. Uncle Sam's army must be fed and kept in the field at all cost. Let us rather be the ones to help Uncle Sam out than to be hindering him and thus aid the enemy. Negroes, read what Secretary Anderson has said in Wednesday's Times and then be wise as serpents; as secretary "Secretary Anderson of the State Federation wired Secretary Wilson of the United States department of labor that he understood, on good authority, that the packers had completed arrangements to bring in Negroes to take the places of strikers, and that if this was done Denver would be the scene of a repetition of the bloody race riots that recently took place in East St. Louis. "Anderson also communicated the same information to William Morrissey, state labor commissioner, and asked Morrissey to act with federal officials in preventing the importation of strikebreakers, white or black." of stricken lands Remember these scenes are to be enacted in Denver, another Birth of Nation sequence. DEFENDED HIS RIGHTS. Paul Massingale of 1485 South Cherokee street, while riding as a peaceful passenger of the Tramway Traction Co. Sunday afternoon from Englewood to Denver, was asked to give up his seat on a crowded car, which he refused to do. A National Guardsman, Nelson by name, then and there threatened him in the presence of five or six soldiers, who debated as to whether "they" should throw him off the car or beat him. All the while Massingale made no reply to any of the statements or questions asked. Whereupon Nelson, aged 22, in a threatened manner, with his claetched manner, with his stood Massingale, who struck him with a knife, Massingale, who is 16 years of age staid on the car unmolested until Traffic Officer Collins sent him to the police department. At this writing Nelson, who had a narrow escape from death, is steadily recovering. The N. A. A. C. P. has become interested in the boy's welfare. The principle at stake is, whether or not a man who has honestly purchased his seat on a car must give it up unwillingly to anybody for any alleged reason.

At the postoffice in the city of Denver, CITY NEWS WYOMING COMPANIES MAKING HEADWAY The Salt Creek Petroleum reports good progress on the drilling of its No. 2 well in the southeast quarter of section 29 of the Salt Creek field. This well had reached a depth of 1,100 feet on Wednesday, July 11th, and Otto Stock, the contractor in charge of the drilling, expects to reach the oil-bearing stratum by the end of the present month. He is confident of getting a good flow of oil, as a number of other wells on the same and adjoining sections got good producers in the first sand. If a satisfactory production is not obtained at this depth, the well will be continued to the lower Wall Creek sand. The officers of the Five Fields Oil company report good progress in the financing of the company and are making arrangements to start drilling their first well within the next thirty days. This company has nearly 1,000 acres in the proven Wyoming oil fields close to producing wells and active drilling operations. The geologist's reports on the large acreage this company has in eastern Colorado are favorable, and it is the intention of the company to drill more than one well this season near Selbert and Limon. After considerable delay in the delivery of casing the Douglas-Wyoming Oil company now reports that progress in drilling is again being made. The well is close to 1,400 feet in depth and the strong showing of oil and the strong showing of oil and gas continues. The men in charge of the drilling are confident of an early strike of oil. Activity in the Douglas field is increasing and reports state that a new combination standard and rotary drilling rig will be put on a lease adjoining the property of The Douglas-Wyoming Oil company as quickly as possible. There will be a grand birth day party of the Negro Woman's Club Home Ass'n given by the House Committee celebrating the birth of the organization. On August 15th The Y. M. C. A. Choral Club will present several choruses from Handel's Messiah. They will be assisted by several prominent soloists. This promises to be the musical treat of the season.

Mr Bosworth was a Denver visitor over Sunday. Mr. Oscar Williams returned Sunday fro man extended trip on the western coast. Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Gibson entertained at a most palatable dinner on Sunday for Prof. Wm. Dawley and Miss Leona Green of Kansas City, and Rev. A. W. Ward Rev. A. C. Jackson has been accorded the prize as champion fisherman from his record of last week. Mrs. Mary Reeves had the formal opening of her ice cream parlor on Sunday. Many compliments were paid her establishment. Miss Hazel McVey and Mesdames Smith and Stevens were hostesses at a most delightful beefsteak fry in Blue Bell canon on last Monday. Mrs. Julia Jackson of the summer school spent the week in Denver and Colorado Springs with her visiting sister. Miss Bertha Williams is to spend the week-end in Denver and Golden with Miss Mae Jackson of Kansas City. Mrs. Mary Greene of Kansas City, with her youngest daughter and grandson, has come to spend the summer with her daughter here. Mrs. Janet Green Ward. Sunday, July 29, is Rally Day at Allen Chapel. Rev. A. M. Ward will be the speaker at the afternoon service. Many Denverites are expected to come up to spend the day. A special program by the summer school visitors will be given at the evening service. Mr. and Mrs. Royal Brown were worshippers at Allen Chapel on Sunday. Mr. Brown was here in the interest of the Allen C. E. League work, of which he is the state president. ENCOURAGE BOY SCOUTS TO JOIN Y. M. C. A. COMPANIES. Sometime previous Rev. D. E. Over started out to secure recognition for the Colored boys in this city by trying to get the white organization of Boy Scouts to affiliate with the Colored by permitting them to join the Boy Scouts' movement, little did he think that while he did not accomplish then what he had hoped for, that he was sowing seeds in the hearts of men who later, getting control, desired to put into execution his ambitions. The invitation came thru the Y. M. C. A. for the Colored boys to organize into companies and financial aid was pledged them by wealthy persons. For that reason L. H. Lightning, Wm. Parks and Secretary Thomas Bell have gotten busy and our boys will have an organization just as good as any. Let your boy join and give every aid and assistance to the movement. Now is the time and Denver is the place to start to train our boys to be officers in all branches in the service. Let everybody boost for the Boy Scout of Color. Already Rev. Over can see some result of the work started by him sometime ago. WHEAT STREET BAPTIST. Members of Famous Atlanta (Ga.) Church to Rebuild Edifice. The recent fire which destroyed a large part of the residential section of Atlanta, Ga., also swept away the famous Wheat Street Baptist church. More than a thousand members of this church are practically without homes as a result of the conflagration, and yet they are struggling heroically with what means they can spare from their daily bread to aid in a fund being raised for the rebuilding of their church edifice. Another pleasing feature about the situation is the friendly co-operation with the pastor and members of a large number of influential white people. The church property was valued at $100,000, and the insurance amounted to less than $14,000. The Baptists of the country should by all means lend a helping hand to this very worthy congregation. Communications addressed to the Rev. Dr. P. James Bryant, Atlanta, Ga., will receive proper attention. Sunday Schools to Meet In Yonkers. The annual meeting of the New York state Sunday school convention will be held with the Messiah Baptist Sunday school at Yonkers, N. Y., on Thursday and Friday, July 19 and 20. Many important features of Sunday school work are on the program for discussion. VETERAN EDITOR HONORED. William H. Steward Given LL. D. Degree by an Alabama College. Normal, Ala.—A newspaper man is sometimes treated to a taste of the good things he hands out so prodigally to others. It is especially fitting to hand of nosegays to journalists when they belong to that revered class of race builders of which William H. Steward is a conspicuous example. Mr. Steward is the editor of the American Baptist, Louisville, Ky., where it has enjoyed a continuous existence since 1870. This makes Mr. Steward practically the dean of journalism among us. The late Booker T. Washington once styled Mr. Steward as the "race's greatest layman," a pensmith always with preachers. At the A. and M. college here Mr. Steward recently delivered the Founders' day address, and, although the speaker modestly disclaimed all pretensions to being an orator, the speech was pronounced by faculty, trustees and student body to have been one of the most practical, helpful and inspiring deliverances heard in the southland in many a day. The authorities of the school united in a request to have Mr. Steward return for the recent commencement exercises, but business engagements made this impossible. Nevertheless in his absence the board of trustees and faculty conferred upon him the honorary degree of doctor of laws, an unusual compliment. The degree of A. M. was conferred upon Mr. Steward some years ago. Prosperous Year For Georgia Masons. At the forty-seventh annual communication of the Masonic grand lodge of Georgia, held the latter part of June at Augusta, Dr. H. R. Butler, grand master, was re-elected for another year. The reports showed an increase in membership, finance and new local lodges set up during the year. For Results Put an Ad in The Star "STANLEY SERVICE" WITH NEW STANLEY STEAMER to Lookout Mountain.

On making a business call at the American Woodmen offices this week we noted the faces of three of Denver's young men and ladies who have recently been given employment there. One of these is a young man who is working his way through the Denver High School. We wonder if the good people of Denver realize the full significance of the presence in our midst of these handsome, systematically conducted business offices. To this young man, for instance, the benefit that he derives is not so much in the salary he shall receive, but in the wonderful inspiration it should give him and the higher ideals he should attain in attempting life's battle. He is given a concrete illustration of some of the real responsibilities held out to a colored man who will properly prepare himself. The wonderful work done by this organization should be such an inspiration to all Denverites, that the camp here should number 1,000 instead of 100. It would be an excellent idea for our aspiring young men and women of Denver to at least pay a visit to these offices for the sake of the inspiration it would give them for greater effort. COLORED AMERICAN LOAN AND REALTY CO.URGES THE PUBLIC TO BUY FIVE FIELDS OIL CO. STOCK AT 5c.—NOW TAKE THE TIP. You cannot make big money by working with your hands or feet. Your brains must make the money while you sleep. For that reason, The Denver Star and the Colored American Loan and Realty Co. are urging all of its friends to "get into buying good stocks" when they are cheap and then sell when they advance, either doubling or trebling your money. The Douglas-Wyoming stocks are now 50c to the public. The Salt Creek Petroleum is now $1.00, while the same officers of the Big Five Fields now offer you stock of land adjoining the Douglas-Wyoming for 5c a share. We urge every Negro to get in on this as a good investment; take from $5 to $100 worth of stock and then when it goes up to -0.15 or 25c, if you want, then sell, doubling your money. If you bought $5 worth of stock at 5c and it only increased to 10c in a year, you would make 100 per cent, getting more than the 4 per cent a year on $100 in saving account. While the Wyoming oil fields are young get your holdings now, sacrifice, and deny, do you expect to work all your life? Some of you have seen Cripple Creek gold mining camps, start, flourish and make themselves wealthy and you are still working, getting $25 per month yet. Let us get busy, and buy as safe as we can and have some of the finished fat grain when the harvest comes in. See Mr. Waller now. Arrange to buy stock. You are going to spend the money anyway, so why not put it where it can do the most good? Buy Five Fields Oil stock at 5c. Moonlight Barbecue and Picnic in Villa Park.

To The Denver Star: Greetings: In accordance with the National feeling that we should curtail expenses in every direction, and with the feeling of the National Defense Council that sectional conventions be discouraged as the war situation becomes more acute, we have found it advisable to postpone the meeting of the North-Western Fed of C. W. C. until the week before the National Meeting, 1918. The Women's Searchlight Club of Cheyenne, Wyo., very cordially continue its invitation until that time. We respectfully ask for your co-operation in this affair. Yours for the extension of women's work through same measure.

The American Woodmen, the largest and strongest insurance society among the Negroes, whose offices are located here, will be here in August, and The Star sincerely trusts all of our business places will go to some expense and decorate for their coming. No better demonstration could be made than for the Negroes themselves to lead off in boosting, honoring and welcoming our many guests in such a gala manner. These men and women, and this occasion, will be just as big and representative as we ourselves make it. The fraternal insurance society will have its hands full working out details. There is a duty devolved upon each and every citizen, and each ought to play his or her part. After they have been invited here they are our guests and we should thus honor them. Not only them, but the coming Eastern Star and the National Federation of Women's Clubs. Get busy and let each home prepare to put out flags — American — while our business places will properly display bunting and the like.

ADDITION OF TEN NEW GLUBS Ninth Annual Session of Thrifty Organization Favors Woman Suffrage and Condemns Lynching—Delegates Given Elaborate Reception by Business Men's League. New Rochelle, N. Y.—The ninth annual session of the Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs was held in St. Catherine's A. M. E. Zion church in this city July 4-5 and was largely attended, having an approximate delegation of 200 from various parts of the state. The convention was presided over by the president, Mrs. M. C. Lawton, who after devotional services spoke briefly upon the recent riot in East St. Louis and other outrages perpetrated upon colored citizens throughout the country. Mrs. Lawton suggested that a telegram condemning such outrages and expressing the sentiment of the federation be sent to President Wilson. The P. MRS. M. C. LAWTON. following named persons were appointed as a committee for that purpose: Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, president of the National Association of Colored Women; Mrs. A. W. Hunton, organizer of the Empire State federation; Dr. V. Morton-Jones, Mrs. Lutle Lytle Cowan-McNell and Mrs. M. J. Stuart. The telegram as worded by the committee was also sent to the Associated Press and to the daily press of New Rochelle. The recently added department of arts and crafts, under the direction of Mrs. C. H. Turner as chairman, gave an excellent exhibition of the hand work done among the clubwomen belonging to the federation. Three prizes for efficiency along that particular line were awarded to the successful competitors, as follows: Five dollars in gold to the Thimble club of Jamaica, N. Y.; $2.50 in gold to the Art and Embroidery club of Peughkeepsle, N. Y., and $1 in new currency to the Silver Spray circle of New York city. Ten new clubs were added to the body by the organizer, giving to it an added membership of 700 women. The reports of the various clubs gave evidence of continued growth and development along the lines of racial uplift and advancement. Eighty-two dollars was reported on the Douglass fund by the clubs of the federation. The vote on woman's suffrage was almost unanimous. A special committee was appointed to outline a definite plan of work for the ensuing year, which was as follows: Mrs. Clyde S. Gunner, Hillburn, N. Y.; Mrs. Wilkerson, White Rose Industrial Home For Working Girls, N. Y.; Mme. V. E. Scott of the New York branch, Y. W. C. A.; Miss Robinson of the Silver Spray circle, New York, and Mrs. Alexander of the Bronx. Delegates to the biennial meeting of the National Association of Colored Women, to be held in Denver, Colo., July, 1918, were elected as follows: Mrs. M. C. Lawton, president of the federation; Mrs. Charlotte Bell, vice president; Mrs. M. Charlotte Dett, chairman of the executive committee; Mrs. A. W. Hunton, organizer; Miss E. A. Mickens, secretary; Mrs. W. F. Trottman, Mrs. Lutie Lytle Cowan-McNell, Miss Josephine Holmes, Dr. V. Morton Jones and Mrs. J. W. Harden, recording secretary. At the close of the business sessions of the Empire State federation the Business Men's league of New Rochelle tendered the delegates an elaborate reception, which was a fitting climax to the splendid meeting of the organization. Mrs. M. C. Lawton was chosen president for the third term after the secretary was ordered to cast one ballot. The other officers, who were all reelected, are: Mrs. Charlotte Bell. Brooklyn, vice president; Mrs. Charlotte Dett. Niagara Falls, N. Y., chairman executive committee; Mrs. J. W. Harden, Doughkeepsie, N. Y., recording secretary; Mrs. Addle Jackson. Thirytown, N. Y., financial secretary; Miss E. A. Mickens, New York city, corresponding secretary; Mrs. A. W. Hunton, Brooklyn, organizer; Mrs. Alice Scott, Jamaica, N. Y., treasurer; Mrs. Alice Wiley-Slay, historian. The next meeting will be held in New York city in July, 1918, with the Silver Gear Circle of St. Mark's M. E. church. BUSINESS WOMEN TO HOLD MEETING IN PHILADELPHIA National Convention of Walker Representatives Scheduled For Aug. 30. Philadelphia.—The two big events of national importance scheduled to take place in this city the last week in August are the annual meeting of the National Medical association and the first national convention of representatives of the Madam C. J. Walker company. This latter convention will be composed solely of business women and will be the only one of its kind ever held in this section. The object of this meeting, aside from the bringing together of the representatives of the company from the various parts of the country, is to discuss and put into operation the plans which Madam Walker has mapped out for placing the work on a footing whereby all the workers may share alike in the benefits according to the net results of business. In order to inspire the workers to greater activity Madam Walker has set aside $500 to be distributed in prizes to the representatives securing the largest number of new workers, the largest amount of business done, etc. The convention will be held for two days, beginning on Thursday, Aug. 30. The contest closes Aug. 1. All persons who enter the contest should register their name at the home office, 640 North West street, Indianapolis. Madam Walker deserves great credit for opening up opportunities for the women of the race to engage in business for themselves. Through her system of work hundreds of women are making an independent living, and there is room for hundreds of others to do likewise. It is a long way from the sugar cane field and the waghtub at 75 cents and $1.50 per day to ownership of a business enterprise which commands high recognition by both races in the mercantile world, yet this is what Madam Walker has accomplished. PRAISE FOR ROOSEVELT. Asbysinian Baptist Church Commands Stand. Taken. Against Laughing. Former President Roosevelt has been flooded with letters and telegrams from prominent men and women, clivic, political and religious organizations, congratulating him for his speech in New York in which he denounced in the most severe terms the wholesale murder of innocent colored people by mobs of white policemen and white federal soldiers at East St. Louis recently. Among the telegrams sent to Colonel Roosevelt one which rings with patriotic race pride and cries aloud against cold blooded murder of human belongs is from the Abyssinian Baptist church, New York, of which the Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell is pastor. The telegram follows: Theodore Roosevelt, Oyster Bay, N. Y.: The 3,200 members of the Abyssinian Baptist church by a unanimous and enthusiastic vote express to you their sincere and heartfelt gratitude and congratulations for your reply to the false, cowardly, un-American, murder inciting utterances of Samuel Gompers in Carnegie Hall Friday night. Your timely and courageous defense of the murdered and maimed men, women and children were in East St. Louis in pursuit of an honest living are an added proof that you are the biggest and most fair minded man in the world. You have revived a living hope in the breasts of 12,000,000 industrious, loyal, peaceable yet greatly distressed citizens and aroused, we trust, a vigorous sentiment in the heart of all genuine Americans for a square deal. Unless the national administration brings these murderers to justice your noble stand will make our government at Washington, in your purchasing world domestically, a laughing stock in the eyes of Germany and Turkey. We are among the millions who are earnest praying that a man like yourself may again occupy the White House. With highest esteem we are yours for even handed justice and equal opportunities. THE ABYSSINIAN BAPTIST CHURCH, A. Clayton Powell, Pastor. NEW HISTORY AND MANUAL FOR NOTED SECRET ORDER Knights of Pythias Enriched by Work Govering Its Various Branches.

CARNATION ART CLUB AGAIN TRIUMPHS—MAKES NET SUM TO HELP BUY STOCK TO BENE- FIT DAY NURSERY. With just one more grand and gigantic effort in their laudable work in helping to benefit the Day Nursery, the Carnation Art Club will give in December their annual Clown Dance. This Fourth of July patriotic entertainment and Grand Shirt Waist matinee, which was given to benefit the Day Nursery, was one of the greatest successes of the season, largely due to the hearty support given by the loyal and sacrificing president and members of the Carnation Art Club and their many staunch friends. The hall fairly groaned with the jolly crowd so congenially jammed in Fern hall, mindful of the great cause that they were assisting. A small American flag was given at the door and never has such enthusiasm and patriotism been displayed as upon that occasion. The Carnation Art "got out" and "worked," crushing all opposition, and brought to the treasury of the club a neat sum. All the members of the club are full of smiles, together with their many friends who, not only wished but worked for their success. The Carnation Art Club always has something new, as it is one of the strongest clubs in the city. Each and every one of the club heartily thanks their friends, sympathizers and well-wishers for their valuable moral and substantial assistance given them. Every club which works for the success, honor and help of the club Home and Day Nursery ought to have the support of the Denver community. The Star takes off its hat to the Carnation Art Boosters.
