VIRGINIA STREET SCHOOL IS REMOVED "The Public Be Served" An Independent Weekly Devoted To the Best Interests of All VIRGIN Hoover B SHEPERD, LEA A Short Story by Rude (Copyright: 1928: By The Gary Am Ezekiel Taylor, preacher of the Gospel slowly along One Hundred and Thirty-th alien. He was little and old and bent. A framed his shiny black face and his Hoover Blamed For Indictment Of Howard SHEPERD, LEAD US A Short Story by Rudolph Fisher (Copyright: 1928: By The Gary American Co., Inc.) PLAN FIGHT ON DEMO PRIMARY Ezekiel Taylor, preacher of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, walked slowly along One Hundred and Thirty-third street conspicuously alien. He was little old and bent. A short, bushy white beard framed his shiny black face and his tieless celluoid collar. A long greasy, green-black Prince Albert, with lapey frayed and buttons worn through to their metal hung loosely from his shoulders. His trousers were big and baggy and limp, yet not enough so to hide the dejected bend of his knee. A little boy noted the beard and wiped "Hey, Santa Claus!" Taint South was therefore fortune, and Reverend Shackleton Ealey spent hours in Pennsylvania station greeting newly arrived migrants, arguing them to visit his meetig-place and promising them the satisfaction of "that old-time religion." Many had come—and contributed. A stranger entered unaccentedly, looked about a moment, and took a seat near the door. Reverend Shackleton Ealey appraised him: a little bent-over old man with a hushy white beard and a long Prince Albert coat. Perfect type—fertile soil. He must greet this stranger at the close of the meeting and effusively make him welcome. But Sister Gassoway was already by the stranger's side, shaking his hand vigorously and with amistakeable joy; and during the next hymn she came over to old man Gassoway and whispered in his ear, whereupon he jumped up wide-eyed, looked around, and made broadly smiling toward the newcomer. Others turned to see, and many, on seeing, began to whisper excitedly into their neighbor's ear and turned to see again. The stranger was occasioning altogether too great a stir. Reverend Ealey decided to pray. His prayer was a masterpiece. It besought of God protection for His people in a strange and wicked land; it called down His damnation upon those dens of infinity, the dance halls, the theaters, the cabarets; it berrated the poker-shark, the blackjack, the dice-roller; it denounced the drunkard, the bootlegger, the dope-peddler; and it ended in a sweeping tirade against the wolf-in-sheep's clothing, whatever his motive might be. Another hymn and the meeting came to a close. The stranger was surrounded before Reverend Ealey could reach him. When finally he approached the old preacher with extended hand and hollow-hearted smile, old man Gassoway was saying: "Yas, suh, and RevN Taylor, dass jes' whut we goin' do. Start makin' rangements toomorrer. Martin an' Jim Lee's over to Ebenezer, but dey doan like it 'tall. Says hit's too hifalutin for fels wushup: Ain't got no Holy Ghos' in 'em, dass whut. Jes' come in an' set down an' git up an' go out. Never moans, never shouts, never even says 'amen.' Most of us is hyeh, an' we gonna git together an' start us a chch of our own, wid you fo' pastor, like we said. Yas, sah. Hyeh's Brother Ealey now. Brother Ealey, dis hyeh's our old preacher. Reveren Taylor, We was jes' tellin' him—" The Reverend Shackleton Ealey had at last a genuine revelation—that the better-yielding half of his flock was on the wing. An old oath of frustration leaped to his lips—"God—" but he managed to bite it in the middle—"Bless you, my brother," he growled. The Sunshine Social club had a very pleasant meeting last Monday evening at the home of Mr. Latmer, 2472 Jefferson street. Announcement has been made of the marriage of Miss Ida Wells to Mr. Walter Williams. The young couple will reside at the home of the bride, 2438 Monroe street. The W. C. T.

A long greasy, green-black Prince Albert, with lapels frayed and buttons worn through to their metal hung loosely from his shoulders. His trousers were big and baggy and limp, yet not enough so to hide the dejected bend of his knee. A little boy noted the beard and gibed, "Hey, Santa Claus! Tain't Christmas yet!" And the little boy's playmates chorused, "Haw, haw! Lookit the colored Santa Claus!" "For of such is the kingdom of heaven," mused Ezekiel Taylor. No. The Kingdom of Harlem. Children turned into mockers. Satan in the hearts of infants. Harlem—the city of the devil—outpost of hell. Darkness settled, like the gloom in the old preacher's heart; darkness an hour late, for these sinners even tinkered with God's time, substituting their "day-light saving." Wicked, yes. But sad too, as though they were desperately warding off the inescapable night of sorrow in which they must suffer for their sins. Harlem. What a field! What numberless souls to save!—These very taunting children who knew not even the simplest of commandments— But he was old and alone and defeated. The world had called to his best. It had offered money, and they had gone; first the young men whom he had fathered, whom he had brought up from infancy in his little southern church; then their wives and children, whom they eventually ant for; and finally their parents, loath to leave their shepherd and their dear, decrepit shacks, but dependent and without choice. "Why don't you come to New York?" old Deacon Gassoway had insisted. "Martin and Eli and Jim Lee and his famly's all up da' now an 'doin dine. We'll all git together an' start a chuck of our own, an' you'll still be pastor an' it'll be jes' same as 'twas hyeh." Full of that hope, he had come. But where were they? He had captained his little ship till it sank; he had clung to a splint and been tossed ashore; but the shore was cold, gray, hard and rock-strewn. He had been in barren places before, but God had been there, too. Was Harlem then past hope? Was the connection between this place and heaven broken, so that the servant of God went hungry while little children ridiculed? Into his mind, like a reply, crept an old familiar hymn, and he found himself humming it softly: The Reverend Shackleton Ealey had been inspired to preach the gospel by the draft laws of 1917. He remained in the profession not out of gratitude to its having kept him out of war, but because he found it a far less precarious mode of living than that devoted to poker, black-jack and dice. He was stocky and flat-faced and yellow, with many black freckles and the eyes of a dogfish. And he was clever enough not to conceal his origin, but to make capital out of his conversion from gambler to preacher and to confine himself to those less enlightened groups that thoroughly believed in the possibility of so sudden and complete a transformation. The inflow of rural folk from the The GARY AMERICAN INDIANA'S GREATEST COLORED NEWSPAPER This was prayer-meeting night. Reverend Ealey had his seat on a low platform at the distant end of the double room originally designed for a "parlor". From behind a pulpit-stand improvised out of soap-boxes and covered with calico, he counted his congregation and estimated his profit. City News The next meeting will be at the home of Miss Fannie Roberts, 2409 Monroe street. The Messrs., Malcome Dade and Richard N.

And how is the host of Gary's intelligence solving this weight problem? To the ant type maybe vacation means rest, study, travel or play — to the grasshopper type it's the crying problem of how can I stretch these dimes into dollars. So there are those among us who are playing, traveling, studying for professional advancement and those who have sacrificed their vacation period to mold character. Among those who are lending their energy to promote professional growth are: Mr. Jacob Reddick, Gary's youth in the field of matrimony, and we call him a youth because the honeymoon stage is not yet passed. He will pursue study at Detroit TTeachers college for six weeks. Along with Mr. Reddick will be the "dapper" Harry Schell who so recently grabbed his sheep skin and galloped away from Fisk university, the historic seat of learning. Mrs. Marie Boothe, Detroit's own charming matron, returned home and will complete the work on her degree at Detroit Tecacher's college. Detroit is a mighty fine place, but there are those who refused to follow the maddening crowd to Detroit, but cried, "There's no place like home," so we have the dashing Mrs. V. Marshall who turned her back on the Detroit's enchantments and is again studying at Chicago "U." And there are others—Gary's own artist, Mrs. Inez Brewer of East Roosevelt school will continue her studies in art during her vacation. Miss Maragaretta Blattner, the beautiful little school "mam" was so happy to get back to Chicago for "keeps"; and she has decided to go on for an intensive study on psychology at the "U" this summer. And there are others, too, who journey daily to Chicago, for each morning one sees the charming Mrs. Fritz Alexander and Mrs. Lila Duncan, books tucked under their arms, back to school days. "Dame Rumor" says the delightful Bailey girls let cupid rush in and dart the heart of one of the bunch. If true next year the Bailley house will be minus one charming school "mam". The other girls turned a deft ear to Dan Cupid and will spend at least part of the vacation in moulding character. The Misses Porter, Buckner and Dennis at the East Roosevelt school and the Miss Ruth Haymon at Virginia. There are others who are leading effort, time and energy to the same purpose. They are the Misses Tippelt, Murphy, Jones, Bryant, Mrs Carrie Schill and Emma Skillim, Messrs McFarlan and Edward at the Roosevelt school. Of course there is always with us those who still hold that "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy", so the dashing Miss Leola Smith gave up her delightful drives in her new Marmon to go home and visit. Texas is home to Miss Smith. She says she is going to rest, but can a pretty lady with a Marmon rest? No, not even in Texas. Miss Diffay rushed south after making the rounds of Chicago exclusive shops to be an attendant (for) in her sister's wedding. The wedding will be one of the south's most brilliant affairs of the late summer. The delightful Mrs. Anna Smith and charming Florida Leeke, two of Gary's most popular matrons will tour (and) during their vacation, taking in the scenic beauty of (the) GARY, INDIANA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 3, 1928 Brother Jonathan Declares He Will Make Every Negro a Rich Man If Elected As Happy as a Woman in a Millinery Shop in his weekly health article for The Gary American. Dr. Bethea says: "Whenever people see you are about to slip, they make haste to prepare the way so you can break your neck, and then they are as happy as a woman in a millinery shop or a boy at a pig killing." Such is the wit, weight, wisdom and wonder of Doctor Dennis A. Bethea, Harvard graduate, who writes every week exclusively for The Gary American, the most carefully edited Negro newspaper in America. Read his article on page four. To the Editor of The Gary American: Sir, Because of this momentous hour when the liberties of Ethiopia are at stake, we the sons of Ham, must come to the rescue of our glorious mother. That is why, as you know, I have chosen to run for President of these most benighted United States of America. It is true that I intend to let everyone who can prove himself to be of the Negro race sleep next to the United States treasury and also to the United States mint. I intend to make every Negro a rich man, and in addition to that I have added this to my platform: Jobs for none but Negroes and exemption from paying taxes. Let the white man carry the burden. We have carried it too long. Let the white man pay the taxes and do the dirty work. Let the black man wear the silk hat and boss the white man. That's life. As soon as I can get some campaign funds together I intend to give BEAUX ARTS GO OVER IN STATE Lodge Reports Great Progress Made In Several States The United Order of Beaux Arts, which came into existence the first of the year, is making marked progress, with notable increases being made in the number of its membership and the prominence of persons who are joining the organization. Formulated by Attorney Charles H. Mason, who worked out its fundamental principles, the organization has just completed an economic prosome of America's most beautiful playgrounds. Mrs. Lila Duncan, Bulah Davis and Ida Guy will be contented to be mere house wives for their summer vacation, and such delightful house-wives these matrons make. Would we could peep in on all of Gary's school "mams" for a wew minutes chat (tis impossible) on their hobbies and aspiration for the vacation, but alas tis impossible. But here is hoping that each will attain that for which he desires uppermost during the vacation. PYTHIANS BURN DEET (Gary American Press Service) BIRMINGHAM.—A mortgage on the $750,000 temple of the grand lodge of A. F. and A. M. of Alabama was burned by lodge officials here in celebration of the last payment of their debts. a dollar to every person that votes for me in the primaries and a ten spot for every vote in the regular election. Talking it over with, Dr. Dadley Turner the other day. I came to the conclusion that it would be a fine thing if we had another heavy-weight champion of our own. So I have decided that when I'm President it will be unlawful for a white man to hold a championship. If a white man should want to fight a black man he would have to "lay down" or pay a fine of a thousand dollars and be imprisoned for ten years. Mr. Editor, I'm still waiting for your suggestions. It seems that considering the heavy account of writing that you do, you would be able to think up something that would help out the old man. I'm heavy for issues and will accept any that's offered.

These persons are: Calvin J. James, who has been elected secretary: William C. Hicks, who has been selected as supreme national deputy: Dr W. S. Bailey, prominent northern Indiana physician, who has been elected as supreme medical examiner, and Chaucey Townsend, prominent Gary newspaper man, who has been selected as editor of the official organ of the order. The organization has already qualified to do business in several states in the union, and a number of lodges which have been established in Indiana, are now said to be functioning, with their membership increasing almost daily. Mr. Hicks, the supreme national deputy, has just returned from Fort Wayne where he established a branch of the order there. The enthusiasm of Fort Wayne members over the work of the national deputy was such that they named the Fort Wayne bunch "Hick's lodge," in his honor. Headquarters for the order have been established at 1350 Broadway, and further information concerning the organization may be obtained from this source, it was announced. Scores Willebrandt Prosecution of Negro Leader (From The American's Bureau) WASHINGTON—Neval H. Thomas, head of the Washington branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, is wrought up over the "persecution of Perry W. Howard." In a letter sent to Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, he said her activities in Mississippi are not aimed solely at Howard and his political associates, but at "the great Negro race." "Perhaps you think you have deceived the colored people by your tactics at Kansas City and your entry into Mississippi to save it for white supremacy," said Thomas letter. "This whole scheme against your colleague, the Honorable Perry W. Howard, was concocted right here in Washington by the servants of Mr. Hoover to take from the colored people the last vestige of influence and prestige in a degenerate political party that has lived on the Negro for years, and still lives on him while it double-crosses him and abandons him to his enemies. "I would have you know that your antics cannot fool a child. You are not trying to clean up politics. If you were, you would do a few things in the Department of Justice, in every department of our government here, in the affairs of the Republican Party in every state of the Union, and in the patronage grabbing of other National committeemen, and in your national convention which was filled with office holders away from their work on government pay, and delivering their vote and their souls for other emoluments. "No, my dear lady, you are deceiving no one but yourself. Your industrious (and, as you think, shrewd) activities are not even against Mr. Howard. They are against the colored race. Mr. Hoover and his machine have turned the Negro over to the Rebel South in the foolish notion that he can break it, and at the same time hold the Negro in line in a dozen Northern states where he can determine the Presidency. We issue the challenge, and we will meet you in November at the polls. "On your holy crusade you passed through a half dozen states in which the Constitution of the United States, that you are pledged to defend, is most flagrantly violated, and admitted so, even in so high a place as the United States Senate. The fourteenth and fifteenth amendments are outraged every day, and even the thirteenth, for through the infamy of peonage, there is slavery as complete and brutal as that destroyed by the blood and carnage of the Civil War. You landed in Mississippi where every conceivable crime is committed against our Constitution yet you opened not your mouth." Thomas warns Mrs. Willebrandt that the Negro voter will turn from the Republican party. "We shall meet the faithless party at the polls. Every Negro newspaper in the country is railing against the outrage, informing our millions of this last assault upon their liberties. Howard were guilty of every disclose, he would only be the ancient and well-used policy of all politicians, manipulating the appoint- o, you are not after Mr. Howard; you are after the great Negro race." The Misses Cymbaline Butler and Lucile Kennedy and the Messrs. Cassium and Tennyson Butler, and Mr. Calhoun spent Sunday in Gary as the guest of their many friends. STAUNTON 5 Gary Public Library 5th Jeffery Garage and Com- Newspaper Action Automatically Kills Controversy Started By Parents of Former Emerson High Students, Is Significance NEW YORK.—Immediately upon receipt of the news that Federal Judge C. C. Hutcheson, at Houston, Texas on July 24 had ruled that political parties may prescribe their own membership qualifications and that the Democratic party therefore can bar Negro voters from participation in their primaries, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People set in motion plans upon which work was begun some months since to combat this newest attempt to debar Negroes from these primaries. It will be remembered that the N. A. A. C. P. won one of its most signal victories in the United States Supreme court in March, 1927 when in the famous case of Nixon v. Herndon that court ruled unequivocally as unconstitutional a statute passed by the Texas State legislature which declared that "in no event shall a Negro be eligible to participate in a Democratic election Continued on page 2 They Do Say Bits of Rumor About This and That, But Mostly of That Than This That when "Birmie" returned from his vacation at the expense of the county and was questioned as to his swollen jaw, he replied, "Oh, Well, there occurred a slight difference of opinion as to a certain young lady's character; as a result bellicose manifestations developed, ensued by consequent traumatic contasion." ♣ ♣ ♣ That C.

OVED EMOVED TO I AS RESULT OF F GARY LAND FIRM lly Kills Controversy of Former Emerson Is Significance Working quietly under orders of the school board, a score of carpenters and wreckers were still at work today tearing down the parable buildings which house Vighitra street school, at 15th avenue. Long a factor of controversy be between irate parents of school children and the Gary school system, the school is being town down as a result of an ultimatum delivered the school board by the Gary Land company to vacate the property. The property, owned by the Gary Land company, has been also a factor in the controversy, and, according to reports, the Gary Land company has demanded that the school be moved in order that the ground may be converted into lots for residences in a new real estate addition. Go to West Patsaki The school will be removed to the Pulaski street school campus, where some of the portable buildings are now being torn down, it will be erected to house that part of the enrollment which cannot be taken care of in the brick/building. News of the transfer of the school buildings had not generally swept over the city at a late hour today and the information came as a surprise to many who did not contemplate this action, which probably will bring to a halt the present controversy over the school which has been waged by parents of students who took offense when they were ordered from Emerson high school to Virgins. Contending that the school was inadequate and not equipped to give high school instruction, parents of four Virginia street school students fitted suit last winter to compel the school board to admit their children in Emerson high school, or some similar school of accredited standing. DEBATERS END SPEECHES HERE Lincoln University Students Wind Up Peace Mission Leaving a profound impression of the horrors and disasters of war, Messrs. Richard H. Hill and Malcolm Dade, representing the American Friend's Service committee of Philadelphia, left for South Bend Monday afternoon after filling a half dozen speaking engagements at various clubs, churches and organizations in Gary. From South Bend, the pair will travel to Fort Wayne, and from Fort Wayne they will go to Indianapolis, where The Gary American has secured an engagement for them to speak at the memorial services for the late Madam C. J. Walker. The American likewise secured engagements for them to speak at City church, Trinity M. E. church, First A. M. E. church, and at Hammond. At each of the places where they spoke, Messrs. Dade and Hill denounced war as useless and disastrous, and predicted that another war similar to the World's War would mean the destruction of mankind throughout the world. Speaking at a plenic held by members of the Whiting, Indiana, W. C. T. U. Friday afternoon, both speakers denounced war as an imperialistic design. Mr. Dade spoke on the subject of "Citizens' Military Training Camp" while Mr. Hill discussed "The Causes and Benefits of War." At First A. M.

At the same hour, Mr. Hill spoke to about 400 persons at Saint Paul Baptist church, 19th and Adams. At the residence of Mrs. Ida L.

That the Ku Klux Klan has lost its hold upon the American nation and from now on will be powerless and ineffectual as an organization, is a fact that is becoming more and more conceded and recognised by even the most pro-klan observers. Beginning with the klan's failure to rouse the country last September during its grand parade in the nation's capitol, the hooded brethren have suffered a series of set-backs which augur well to contribute to the eventual decay of the sheeted order. This gradual fall of the organization is being conceded in every quarter. The Los Angeles Examiner, a Hearst newspaper which, until recently, displayed the most favorable attitude a California newspaper has shown toward the klan, comes forth with the following acknowledgment of the organization's diminishing influence: "Pillow-case patriots of the Hiram Wesley Evans persuasion, intrepid 'Hundred Per Centers,' who fear the sunlight, have received severe set-backs recently. "Three state legislatures and the United States Supreme court dealt blows to the dying klan. "Massachusetts and Cannectient legislators refused to sponsor Ku Klux bills.

This means any state has a right to ban the klan. "'Invisible' soon will be the influence of the 'invisible Empire.' "Lovers of country will quote with satisfaction the triumphant march of tolerance through the land." WHERE WERE THE HEADLINES? Eleven white men kidnapped and attacked a fourteen-year-old colored girl in New York and held her in an abandoned barn without food for three days—and not a line of the brutal crime appeared in the daily papers. Everyone knows that had this crime been committed on a white woman by Negroes, every single daily white paper in the country would have given the incident display on the front pages. But because it is white men this time caught committing an unthinkable crime which colored men have hitherto been accused of, white editors turn their heads and whistle indifferently, conscious that it would be setting a precedent to tell about the sins of white men against helpless black women. It is a very peculiar policy which allows for the suppression of all that is unfavorable to the white man in cases where blacks are concerned and allows for the conspicious display of crimes committed by Negroes. One has but to turn to the files of daily papers and see how uniform is their display of crimes of Negroes against white as distinguished from the deliberate suppression of crimes against Negroes. Our idea of a good news policy is to publish all the news and to display it according to its interest, timeliness and significance. It is a very unfair policy which puts Negro crime in headlines and at the same time buries Negro progress and achievement in the bottom of an inside page!

Alphonso Steele, of Youngstown, charged with the murder of Mrs. Nellie Newsome in Peach Tree rest, Charac d Substa papers are more conce the news they publish THE HEALTH QUESTION By Dennis A. Bethea, M.D. Health Editor of The American While envy belongs to the group of destructive emotions, it is not ruinous if it acts as a stimulant to urge us on to do better work, in order to win out in the race of life, as others have done. But when it lets us sit down upon the seat of do nothing, and try to wish ourselves into success, we get just about as much as the man who starts out to get a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, or the boy who expects to catch the bird by sprinkling salt on its tail. Some men feel miserable every time they see another fellow make a winning in a business venture, no matter how much he saved and slaved to do it. And further, if they can get an opportunity they will clip his wings, and clip them so close that he will never fly again. Whenever they see you are about to slip they will make haste to get everything out of the road so that you will slide like a sled down a slippery hill slope. Should a minister make a mis-step and fall down on the job, or if a doctor loses his patient, or a lawyer fails to win the case, or a girl loses her bean, there will be people who will be as happy as a woman in a millinery shop or a boy at a pig killing. Men have not just now started out to be envious. Moses, the lawgiver, came down from Mt. Sinai and warned the people not to covet. Nevertheless they have gone headlong hankering after things that belonged to the other fellow. A man may be ever so well mated, in a happy home with a loving wife and beautiful children, yet whenever another exquisitely charming lady passes, it is hard for him to make his eyes behave. Jealousy is in the same class with envy. In fact, it is a twin sister. One who gives away to fits of jealousy acknowledges that he is a weakling and unable to cope with other people in the race for power. Jealousy has caused more trouble and shipwrecked more homes than any other one thing. Men who will use good judgment in matters of business, will act like children in love matters. Some women are afraid to say "good morning" to a man on the streets, less their husbands raise the Old Nick. On the other hand, there are wives who will not let their husbands get out out of their sight for fear he will be "vamped." Anyone who allows himself to run along all heated up with envy and jealousy, will sono find himself stranded upon life's highway with bearings all burned out. It will not be long now before his health will be so shattered that he will have to be turned over to the junk men.
