Austin, Texas, Jan. 17.—To make an accurate Negro Baptist Year Book booking a record of what the three million Negro Baptists in the more than 0,000 churches are doing, is the stumpous task that has been committed to Dr. J, Gordon McPherson, better known throughout the country as the "Black Billy Sunday," formerly field evangelist of the National Baptist convention, one of the most versatile and interesting Negro writers of the day. At the annual session held at Columbus, Ohio, Dr. McPherson was placed in charge of the department of publicity as director, and for some time he has been busily engaged in gathering statistics, and other useful data, surveys and general denominational information both national, and from the various states.

Turning his artillery on the legislative department, Governor Kendall urged the pruning of the 'sizable army of superfluous clerks, stenographers and janitors' whose employment he called 'a scandalous squandering of public money.' The governor urged that code revision be expedited, that in his own words the recommendations of the code commission were feasible and worthy of adoption.

Price Five Cents Myaor of Metropolis Says No Room In The City For Body Which Promotes Race Antagonism. (Special to the Bystander.) New York mayor Jaycar Hylan is worried for fear that the Ku Klux Klan will begin operations in the city. In a letter yesterday to the Police Commissioner Enright he warned that "there is no room in this city for him to be a police officer to order and handle to create a class antagonism." His letter follows: January 10, 1921. Richard E. Kearnig Esq, Police Commis- sion, City of New York, Dear Commissioner: An article ap- pearing today in one of the newspapers, and purporting to be the first of a series of subsequent articles on the same sub- ject, is headed, "Ku Klux Klan to In- vade North in Nationwide Drive. The article is based on the article and mention is made of an issue between the white race and all of the colored races and the foreign elements." Without attempting to pass upon the merits of the proposed activities of the Ku Klux Klan or any similar organization, there is no room in this city for any group which runs counter to law and order and tends to create class antagonism. The administration of this city has been conducted without special favors to any class, and cannot be allowed to law-abiding element of our population to be brow-beaten or intimidated, and any attempts in this directive should be met with stern repression. New York City is unique in the diversity of its population. It is this which has contributed to its greatness. People of every race and clime from all parts of the world have come to our growth and grandeur. It behooves us to strengthen the unifying influences which will cause the varied elements of our population to function harmoniously together for the common good. Under the constitution, equal rights and opportunities are accorded to every man, woman and child living in our country. Every citizen, irrespective of race or creed, can demand equal recognition of life. This is recognized by all loyal Americans devoted to the principles of liberty, representative government and the supremacy of the law. No group or set of men can be a law unto himself nor arrogate to itself the right to rule others by reason of the possession of liberty or self-constituted guardians of liberty. It is unfortunate that some newspapers and other means of access to the public are not better than allure prejudices and hatred it makes the work of those responsible for the maintenance of law and order more difficult. But government and authority must be respected, and the police must see to it that it is done. Yours very truly, John F. Hylan, Mayor. Cannot Deny Admittance, But Can Segregate (By The Associated Negro Press.) Topeka, Kansas, Jan. 10—Kansas tribune media segregated the way they cannot tell us about the show. That is the opinion of the attorney general's office in passing on the policy of a Parsons movie house. The "Liberty" theater in Parsons refused to tour the movie case fasched upon to the state legal department.

Worcester, Mass., Jan. 10—The organization of separate posts for colored men was authorized at the first meeting of the council of administration of the Massachusetts department, Veterans of foreign wars.

Benjamin Franklin's birthday. Don't you think it is about time that you decide to observe a NATIONAL THRIFT WEEK in honor of Benjamin Franklin? You know he started to work at the age of 15 and worked for more than 69 years thereafter. He died in 1790 at the age of 84 years and 3 months. While he was always thrifty he was never stingy or selfish. Nobody need be stingy or selfish to practice thrift from the start. Benjamin Franklin's career never suffered because he was careful with money. He made a great name for himself, as printer, publisher, statesman, diplomat, economist, philanthropist and humorist. If Benjamin Franklin knew what was going on in this country today he would be very proud, even though it was taken for granted, to realize the necessity of learning the great lesson of Thrift as he practiced it. --- THE WORLD'S FINEST HAIRDRESSER Get These New 'BLUES' for your Player.

Public Opinion WESTERN RAMBLER Des Moines, Iowa January 18, 1921 Dear Editor Bystander: According to promise, I shall now give you the results of the suffering among the people of Detroit and why streets of that city thinly adorn, almost hoeless with hardly any place to sleep. Many of them have been boarding while at work and when the works shut down as they had not saved their money or spent their money as fast as they made it. Hundreds of them bought second hand cars which required constant repairing. Some had begun to buy homes and were trying to keep up their payment because they needed a hardship on them. The churches are doing everything they can to help relieve the people from suffering. It seems that colored people are the greatest sufferers because they need a lot of tomorrow. We long to see the time come when our people, during their prosperity, will think of the rainy day which is always to come. It matters not how many bright sunshine days the people have, but a dark gloomy and rainy ones. If we can live on so little during out of work times Piano Owners GLUES' for your Player.

REPORT FOR MONTH OF DECEMBER, 1920 Mr. Chairman, members of committee. I your secretary leave to submit the following report; The month of December was a month of very trying difficulties for the association from a financial standpoint, but a very gratifying one from the standpoint of the people without a doubt that the salvation of this work lies within the power of this committee to take advantage of every opportunity to educate the people to the real objects of the association and give them a thorough and our present condition. The secretary has discovered this during the month as never before. A personal interview with five citizens who made large contributions to the association but had failed to pay. The five interview revealed the same feeling of lack of knowledge of the work this far accomplished. After the interview they express to me their understanding of the work to pay their pledges and use their influence with their friends to do likewise. I recommend that a publicity and educational campaign be put on some time before our financial campaign. Seven hundred and ninety-five men and ladies visited the institution during the month, including the twenty visitors who spoke of the great work accomplished with the means that we have to work with and of things to be accomplished in the future. During the visit the 300 was collected by the secretary on pledge. Finance on hand Jan. 15, $100.20. Amount paid out for same period $85. Amount in hand of secretary to date, $15.20. Respectfully submitted. Ernest C. Robinson. LADIES will grow your hair from 4 to 12 inches in 4 to 6 months, and correct any hair disorder.
