New York, N. Y., May 12—Refusal to comply with an order to discharge its Negro employees and discontinue their employment in its offices has forced "The World Tomorrow" to move its quarters from 118 East Twenty-eighth street to 108 Lexington avenue. The order came from the owners of the Twenty-eighth street building. In a public statement to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, of the situation the editors of "The World Tomorrow" says: "We should have refused such a demand on principle, but in addition we are proud of the fact that one of the most faithful of our office force is a colored woman. That her race should be discriminated against in more than one office building in New York City is a practical denial of the fundamental principles of brotherhood and Christianity." ON POLICE FORCE Washington, D. C., May 13. Richard Anderson, policeman stationed at the Fourth precinct, detailed to the police court was retired last week, after forty-six years of service as custodian of prisoners on the District side of the court. During his tenure in office, Anderson has never lost a prisoner from his van running between precincts, court and pail, although he has carried about 215,970 men and women since being detailed to that duty. Born in Caroline county, Virginia, Anderson came to this city in 1861, from a plantation where he had been in service with his mother and father. During the Civil war, he was employed here with his father, and in 1875 received his appointment as a police officer. DES MOINES BRANCH ACTIVE IN DRIVE Great impetus has been added to the Des Moines Branch's drive for 1,000 members as a result of the endorsements, grantation and the Chamber of Commerce and the powerful plea made by Gov. Nate E. Kendall last Sunday night. Mr. E. Ribert B. Hall, chairman of the educational committee of the Des Moines branch appeared before a special call meeting of the Ministerial task force on the education. A last Monday morning and asked for the support of the ministers of the city and their congregations. It was unanimously decided to get behind the movement and the doors of the local churches will be opened to the N. A. A. C. P. workers and special sermons, will be held the work of the association, will be preached in many of the churches. Sunday night a crowd that filled the Maple street Baptist church auditorium heard Gov. Nate Kendall tell why ever the annual march become a memorial of the Nation's war on the Advancement of Colored People, an organization which he termed the most potent factor in the solution of the race problem. Twenty-one paid up memberships and 1,000 attended following the government's address and the streg appeal made by Attorney Woodson, an ardent supporter of the principles for which the organization stands for. Attorney Woodson invited of Sec. R. H. Faxon, Atty. S. Joe Brown and Mr. Elbert R. Hall, former president of the local chapter appeared before the Chamber of Commerce and secured the endorsement of that civic body. A memorial of the 3,000 members of the Chamber by the association workers. Sunday the morning services at the University Church of Christ will be devoted to the work of a plan for members, according to Dr. Medbury, the pastor. DES MOINES GIRL GRADUATE NUBE A number of des Moines citizens at the des Moines memorial announcement of the colored division of the general hospital at Kansas City, Mo., and are pleased to note among the list of graduates the name of the former (formerly G.

Henry Johnson to Pass on all Postal Positions In Georgia (By The Associated Negro Press.) Atlanta, Ga., May 17—By order of the Harding administration pronulgence by the postoffice department, all eligibles for appointment to postmasterships in Georgia and all eligibles for appointment to rural mail carrier positions in Georgia, these constituting the bulk of the federal patronage in that and all other states of the union, will in the future be referred directly and only to Henry Lingcoln Johnson, the Negro republican national committeeman from that state. While the order has not yet been issued as to gin inspectors, whose appointments are made thru the department of commerce, it is understood that they will take the same course. This action settles definitely the policy of the administration as to the minor appointments in Georgia. THOUSAND INITIATED INTO KU KLUX KLAN Atlanta, Ga., May 15—Initiation of more than 1,000 candidates into the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan was carried out with all the mystery of the order at a meeting tonight of knights from all sections of the country, according to announcement.

NEGRO HISTORY FACTS. (By The Associated Negro Press). The Omega Phi Phi fraternity has recently issued a folder which among other things, presents the following fact: Negro history. "Do you know how much the world is indebted to the Negro for the discovery of iron? "Do you know that long before cotton weaving was a British industry, West Africa and the Sudan were supplying a large part of the world with cotton cloth? Do you know that Negroes accompanied Balboa, Cortez, De Leo, Narvaez, Coronado, and other early Spanish explorers of the western hemisphere? "Do you know the story of the Middle Passage?" "Do you know that at least 10,000, 000 Negro slaves were brought to America!" "Do you know the facts in the Dred Scotia mission?" "Do you know the history of the Under Ground Railroad? "Do you know the number of slaves emancipated? "Do you know the provisions of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments? "Do you know the number of Negroes serving in the Revolutionary war of 1812, the Civil war, Spanish-American war, and the great war? "Do you know the following men were of Negro descent: Terence in Rome, Linus in Russia, Dumas in Touis, Touis in Hayti, Coleridge-Taylor of England? "Do you know for what the following Negroes were noted: Ira Aldridge, Lislet Geoffrey, Benjamin Banneker, Katie Ferguson, Phyllis Wheatley, Natum McNemar, Denmark Vesey, Matthew Hensel, Numer Warrick Fuller, Crispus Attucks?" Illinois To Have A Negro Regiment (By The Associated Negro Press.) Chicago, May 18 — The eighth regiment is to become a part of the federalized national guard in July. This has ben definitely determined by the war department through a recently issued order calling for the regiment's mobilization at that time. This army unit will be the only organization in the service that will be officered by colored men. Otis B. Duncan of Springfield, Ill, is colonel of the regiment and will be continued in command. ARKANSAS GOVERNOR SETS JUNE 10 AS DATE FOR EXECUTING 6 MEN Little Rock, Ark., May 18.—Governor McRay has set Friday, June 10 as the date for the execution of six colored men who were sentenced to death on murder charges growing out of the Elaine riot in October, 1916. Overseas Veterans Protests Against Presentation of Birth of Nation (By The Associated Negro Press.) New York, May 12—War workers and overseas veterans with citations picketed the Capitol theater, where Griffith's picture "The Birth of a Nation" is being revived. "We represented America in France, why should "The Birth of a Nation misrepresent us here" as the placard they bore as they distributed circulars of their organization before the theater until arrested by the police on Friday evening, May 6. Because of adjournment at the request of David Wark Griffith, the case is pending. He made the following statement, according to the New York Times: "I have been served a summons to appear in the west side court in complaint against these agitators. It is a source of regret to me that poorly advised people are endeavoring to stir up animosity against "The Birth of a Nation." The opposition is misguided and was misproven and laid away years ago. The leading villain in the story is a white man, who leads a misguided following into conflicts which do not reflect upon the Negro. If there is the eslestest ground for protest against the film, it seems to me that white men have more claim o it than have Negroes. I shall be quite willing to submit the matter under oath to the consideration of the court." K. GRIFFITH Brain Fever Causes Death of Young Piano Student. Malcimol K. Griffith of the Rev. and Mrs. T. L. Griffith, 828 Thirteenth street, died at 3 o'clock this morning, following a short illness of brain fever. He was 24 years old. Mr. Griffith was a senior student at the Drake conservatory of music, and won a graduate from the piano course in June. Besides his parents, he is survived by two sisters, Anna and Esther, and two brothers, Thomas and Lloyd, all of Des Moines. Emeral services will be held Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock from St. Paul's A. M. E. church. Negro Woman Heir to a Fortune New Orleans, La.—Through a decision rendered in the State Supreme Court, Mrs. Lillian Taylor, whose father, a white man, sold his twenty million dollar estate to Angeline Allen and George West, was awarded the oil and mineral rights in the property, which is located in Claiborn Parrish. After Mrs. Taylor had been ignored in the disposition of the property, she brought suit through the courts, with the above results. The parentage of Mrs. Taylor was the chief issue in the case and the decision was rendered on this occasion, it being proven that she was the illegitimate daughter of the original owner of the property in question. Through her inheritance, Mrs. Taylor is today probably the richest colored woman in America. Pussy Cat Indicated American foresters present a very strong argument against our friend, the pussy cat, as being by far the most destructive of animals, wild or tame, of the birds, and every forester considers the birds as the greatest friends of the trees. Without the destruction wrought by the birds on the insect enemies of the trees there will be after a generation no tree left for the insects would multiply fearfully and demolish every growing tree and plant.

Washington, D. C., May 18. The United States branch police court of Washington, D. C., presided over by Judge Hardison recently adjourned out of respect to the memory of Attorney John A. Moss, who died a few days ago. Attorney Moss was among the first Negro lawyers to take up practice in the District of Columbia. Following a series of eulogies by a number of Mr. Moss' associates, including Attorneys R. A. Hughes, W. M. Hewlett, H. L. Tignor, C. S. Williams, and J. M. Ricks, Judge Hardison paid tribute to the man who had been regarded as a landmark of the District courts. He was a man of notable events, and a man out of the ordinary," the judge started. "Moss was a living monument of a time that had passed away. He was a pioneer of his race. Moss was a man of unusual attainments and had a great breadth of view. I can appreciate the sentiments voiced by the preceding speakers." At the meeting held by the grand matron with this chapter on last Friday evening there was also present Past Grand Master A. A. Bland, one of the oldest masters and moses and one of Garrison, past master of Iowa as well as past patron of the inter-state conference of O. E. S., for the United States and Canada.

His address was favorably received. Those who completed the course were: Ruby Nelson, Helen Tender, Nina Harvey, Everett Roberson, and Eugene Palmer. Y.W.C.A. At Davenport Is Very Active Y.W.C.A. At Davenport Is Very Active Davenport, Iowa, May 11—The Young Women's Christian association is having its annual drive for funds with which to carry on its work the coming year. The colored "Y" workers of this city, led by Mrs. Fairfax Richey, secretary of colored center of the Y. W. C. A. in Davenport, are working very hard to assist in raising this sum of money, as yearly their branch receives $3,600 to carry on their work. Did you know that Davenport had Iowa's largest colored center of the Y. W. C. A.? The popularity of the work and the success of its undertakings can best be discovered by interviewing some of the center's patrons — among them these Girl Reserves. All activities of the general center of the association are also conducted here. There are gym classes, educational classes, parliamentary law, Bible study, dramatic art, sewing and millinery. There are well organized clubs, including the Girl Reserves, the Klada Klub (composed of industrial girls), and a Boys' club. Vespers are held each Sunday, and there is a special recreational program every Friday evening. The Colored Center on East Second street is the meeting place of the colored folks of the community. The Boys Scouts meet there, the City Federation of Colored Women's clubs, an orchestra, a choral club, and a band also use these rooms for their gatherings. A lunch room has been established, and it is one of the few down town places where girls who are employed in the business district may take their meals. In all the Y. W. C. A., there is no more enthusiastic group of boosters than at the colored center. Indian Raised Cotton and Tobacco.

The strings of blue beads that the modern girl dons to ward off bronchitis are merely new versions of the strings of blue beads worn in Egypt 1600 years before Christ to keep diseases of the chest at bay, says a writer in the Philadelphia North American.

YOUR PRINTING is A Valuable Asset of Your Business We Help Our Customers to Success With Presentable, Profitable PUBLICITY Price Five Cents GES Tense Feeling Over Southern PlanFor G.O.P. Proposal to Eliminate Disfranchised Negroes Likely to be Adopted. (By Mark Sullivan.) Special to Bystander. Washington, D. D, May 13. At the coming meeting of the republican national committee with preparation for which conferences are now under way, there will be just two important items of business. One will be the selection of a new chairman to succeed Will Hays. The new chairman undoubtedly will be John Adams of Iowa. That part of the business will be quickly out of the way but thereafter will come a detail of reorganization which is right now the cause of tense controversy. The proposal, in short, will be to reorganize the Republican party in the south. Those who want to do away with the ancient scandal of the "southern delegate" propose that hereafter the republican party shall rest upon the same basis in the south as the democratic party does. The southern state is entitled from voting by state laws, which laws have been held to be constitutional by the Supreme court or the United States. At present, the bulk of the republican party in the south is made up of those disfranchised Negroes. The new proposal is that the Republican party should laws in the south and everywhere else, the same as the democrats do. What is Proposed. The suggested rule is that hereafter no person can be a delegate to a republican national convention or take part in a republican primary or in the republican nomination. The suggested rule is a qualified voter of the state in which he lives and has voted in that state. The practical working out of this rule would make the republican party in the south a white man's party to practically the same extent that the democratic party. The suggested rule is opposed by two groups in the republican party which compose a curious combination of principle and politics. One large section of the republican party in the north thinks the party should continue to stand as a political party and stand as the friend and protector of the Negro. To these are joined a group of old time republican leaders of the "hard boiled" type who have been doing business with typical southern delegates in every republican national convention for a generation or more. They do not merely that they are anxious to maintain an institution which in the past has frequently been an occasion for corruption. It is rather out of a feeling of personal loyalty that they don't want to throw overboard old friends whose critical capital is not theirs upon the republican party of the south. Negro Not Helped. The more forward looking republican leaders who want to adopt the new rule say the Negro in the south has not been helped but has been harmed by being used as political capital by white men of the republican party to work with them as pawns in national convention. They say the experiment of trying to force local southern communities to permit Negroes to vote against the will of the white communities has gone on for over a century and has been successful, but has always made mischief. The only sound way for the southern Negro to become a voter is to so impress his character on his white neighbors that they are willing to give him the vote. He will give all the time and the number of Negroes who have the franchise constanty increases. The position of the Negro in the south as elsewhere becomes better every year and his worst handicap is the friend who uses him as a political mown. Harding Said to Favor It. The innovation of doing away with the 'southern delegate' scandal, and making the republican paty in the south a white man's party, the same as the white man's party in Indiana. In addition there is little doubt that President Harding favors it. it is to be observed that his is the first republican administration since the civil war which has not thrust colored postmasters and other colored office holders on white communists. President Harding so many other forces are behind the proposed innovation that it will probably succeed. HONOR ROLL.

SHEDD.....Secretary and Treasurer Editorials What can be of deeper interest to every red-blooded American than the mournful fact that at least 4,000 men and women, young and vigorous upholders of the government in the days of the nation's direst need, are now passing every month? When we now see at least 50,000 of their in years of useful strength were the country's sole reliance vanish away from their communities. From 160 to 200 graves are opened every day for men and women who once gave all of themselves to saving the country. Because of this utter self-sacrifice, the country they rescued leaped up to a greatness and prosperity unequaled in the history of the nations of the earth. Because of what they did—because of their heroism, their fortitude under defeat and discouragement and their childish reunited nation swept with a great stride across the continent. The savage haunted wilderness became the abode of the highest civilization, the blood stain trails of camel skin and ways of peaceful commerce, the vast wastes bloomed with well-tilled farms, happy schools, school houses and churches. Great state rose where only the buffalo and the wolves had roamed. The bones of Indian warriors bleached on their ferocious battlefields, towns and cities expanded humming with the life and the activity of youthful enterprises. Remote Pacific coast developed into a world portal for the commerce and travel with the countless millions of the Far East. The veterans by their victories made all this possible, and they and their allies brought it all about. They were the leaders in all the state building, town building and farm opening by which the wild west was so quickly brought up to a full level with the most advanced cities and the hardships of nigher life in doing this. Their comrades and their young wives whom they left in the East were equally distinguished for their leadership in upbringing and education. Now all these men and women—actors, architects and creators of the greatest period in our history—are passing away in nearly the 4000 a week. Now they behold more beauty than the rightfulness and justice—the common gratitude even—of congress hastening to the relief of this vanishing army grant of $72 a month to the veterans and $30 a month to the widows.

We must prepare the hair be made it kink again after it has been straightened. Kink-no-more, wonder women who like to use it do it work straightened. Kink-no-more that one can hardly believe their own eyes. It works like many other preparations in the world like it. We offer a reward for women. We no longer that Kink-no-more will not straighten. The Negroes of Mississippi are to be congratulated upon having in their state, Mrs. Laurence C. Jones, president of the State Federation of Women's organizations, who said lowers to be wide awake upon the latest issue that concerns the Negro race, the woman's suffrage issue. When the Negro men of this country were granted the right of suffrage, they were greatly empowered to vote. They were structured by men of the white race who did not take the time to teach those things that so vitally concerned the Negro and the race was not sufficiently learned to grasp the situation and adjust itself to the sudden change. Mrs. Jones is taking the proper steps along political lines. She is beginning early to teach her followers what to do in the political arena and the professional politician to teach the Negroes whom to vote for our voters will have been well schooled in the knowledge of politics and will be able to consider the primaries and the presidential man and the office he is seeking.

If the condemnation of God and civilized man of the camel-figured, barbarious, inhumane interpretations of our flag does not prompt and move America—especially the southland, to purify herself of her shameful, wild and senseless practice through justful punishment of every white man who indulges in the outrages on the Negro the world will not voice cry "Change" to the stars and stripes and rear up a "great war" as red as the blood of every innocent Negro that has been mobbed, lynched and burned. Any nation that preaches Christianity, liberty, justice, and equilibrium and interprets it as the American white man who participates, expresses satisfaction by silence or by enactment theoretically and the truth is not in them. The south has a chance to do something for herself, America, and for all civilization. She has acted a fool long enough and has disgraced the fair name of America. She upholds the lynching of Negroes for reputed association with white women in face of the fact that thirty-three men or half per cent of the Negroes in the north and in particular of illegal cohesion of white conditions to exist well-to-do and scallaways are alike to blame. Something must be done and will be done by God or man pretty soon. Negro voters, leaders in political, social, educational and in other walks of life especially the ministry should go on record as demanding that the republic party or what ever party they support give perfectly square deal with the promise we will subscribe our support to that and that that. If they purpose to stand aside and see America made a hell for us we will hasten its coming by giving our support to the party that has always stood for that. If they purpose through the American flag we will receive simple justice and a square deal. We are with then just twelve million strong, but if perpetual hypocrisy is to predominate we should say twelve million strong to hell with it. The suggestion to investigate inter-racial conditions fits today situation about like a suggestion to test pure water to determine if there is any oxygen in it the facts are as plain as murmur in a cloudless day. Why not see that the Fourth and Fifth amendments are enforced? That’s enough! The white press, legislations and the public talking about their recently been surprised at information received regarding peonage and other evils that exist in the south. It sounds like hearing of a sensible man discovering that he must eat to live after his thirtieth birthday. How long. How long? America boasting about her cagerness to spend blood to protect the Monroe doctrine! What about a little common sense to protect colored American citizens? All that we pour into the lives of others will come back into our own said the noble writer we might add, ‘When liberty, protection, respect and the sense of sight is lost all is lost, but the darkest hours of night is just before a beautiful day. 45.

This is a very dangerous disease, particularly to children under five years of age, but when no paracode, codeine or other opiate is given, is easily cured by giving Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Most people believe that it must run its course, not knowing that the time is very much shortened, and that there is little danger from the disease. It is used in many epidemics of whooping cough, with pronounced success. It is safe and pleasant to take—Ady. Fountain Of Youth Beauty Culture School, Inc.
