XXVIII No. 6. Washington, D. C., Aug. 25.—Special: One man said to the A. N. P. representative: "Here are some practical suggestions. The men who have stood sponsor for the party principles should do like Bob Church, they should shake the dust of Washington from their feet, and go about their business. It is not general known, but that is exactly what Church did, and when the facts come out, he will be more highly regarded as a leader. "Church spent more than two months in Washington. When he saw the trend of things, he had a long and serious conference with President Harding. When the president expressed his views, particularly on matters of appointments in the south, Church respectfully told the president that he could not be sponsor for such a policy, and that until the course changed, his address would be 'Memphis, Tenn.'" "Henry Linecoln Johnson should tell the president that under the circumstances he does not care to be Recorded of Deeds; Perry Howard should resign as Special Assistant to the Attorney General." Tar and Feather Preacher at Oskaloosa (By The Associated Negro Press.) Oskaloosa, Iowa, Aug. 25—Infuriated by alleged unpatriotic remarks concerning American dead in France, a mob service men last Wednesday night seized the Rev. W. L. Wilfo'd, an itinerant evangelist preacher, at a tent meeting, forced the man into an automobile and carried him out in the country to apply tar and feathers. As the tar was being poured over his head, the man is said to have promised to leave town and was released without further abuse. The police have issued an order discontinuing the tent meetings. Four small boys were injured in automobile accidents yesterday afternoon. All were taken to their homes, and according to the police, will recover. Three Negro boys, Thomas, Olando and Leland Johnson, 14, 8 and 6 years old, 928 West Twelfth street, were severely injured yesterday afternoon when a coaster wagon on which they were riding crashed into a passenger bus at Twelfth and Crocker streets. Police Surgeon Dawson who attended the boys, said they were bruised about the limbs and body. The bus was driven by L. C. Pantages, 933 Eighth street, who reported the accident to the police. Abe Miller, 10 years old, giving his address as Capitol avenue, was injured yesterday afternoon when struck by a motor car driven by Charles Sheldon, 1437 West Second street. The boy was taken to his home, where it was said that he sustained a severely bruised right hip. Rather Go to Ireland Than Come to U. S. A. (By The Associated Negro Press.) New York, Aug. 25.—George Bernard Show, in reply to a letter to Oswald Garrison Willard, editor of the Nation, in which the writer was asked if he intended visiting the United States, said: "I have no intention of going to prison with Debs or taking my wife to Texas, while mobs snatch white women from out of hotel verandas and tar and feather them. If I were dependent upon martyrdom for a reputation, which happily I am not, I could go to Ireland. It is a less dangerous place, but than the voyage is shorter and much cheaper. You are right in your impression that a number of persons are urging me to come to the United States. But why on earth do you call them my friends?" Equal Rights League Calls For Representatives Boston, Mass., Aug. 25.—The National officers of the National Equal Rights league, whose fourteenth annual meeting is set for September 10-14 in the Pilgrim Baptist Tabernale, Thirty-third street and Indiana avenue, Chicago, invite the lay and religious workers and leaders for citizenship and rights to come as equal rights delegates from branches, churches, women clubs, civic organizations and even fraternal bodies for a national conference to plan a national campaign within the race to secure passage of the legislation already before congress calculated to make effective the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments. The active co-operation of race workers, leaders and editors of the race is asked at this crisis when all branches of the federal government are Republican, to come together and plan together a concerted movement that at least the race may do its part. A race-defense bureau and fund will be planned to back up the drive. Rev. M. A. N. Shaw, president and William Moore Trotter, secretary, welcome correspondence addressed to headquarters. 34 Cornhill.

St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 25.—Announcement has been made by William Joseph Simmons, imperial wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, to the effect that at the meeting of imperial kloncillium of the organization held last week it was unanimously voted to admit women into membership in the Ku Klux Klan and the constitution of the order was amended to read that the order from this time forward should be composed of "male and female persons" instead of "male" only as originally appeared in the constitution of the organization. "I am now at work preparing the details concerning the admission of women into the organization," said Coonel Simmons Saturday, "and within the next two or three weeks I will have the complete plans ready for the admitting of women into the organization."

President Moton was re-elected by acclamation and Secretary Scott was returned with equal unanimity of approval. The general opinion reigns amongst the participants in its deliberations that this was one of the most successful conventions in the history of the National Business League.

Pickens represents the real spirit of the N. A. A. C. P. and certainly in that he advocates the Negro fighting for his rights. No one will give you anything you must work, fight and take it he said." He left here for the west to fill other speaking dates. A man gathered about the pa about 11 o'clock last night, but Race Conflict Works Overtime in Chicago (By The Associated Negro Press.) Chicago, Ill., Aug. 25.—Chicago is going through the throes of a race conflict which is working overtime at both ends and is tied in a stout sailor's knot in the middle. On Tuesday night of last week, 12,000 members of the notorious Ku Klux Klan initiated into the patriotic mysteries of that 100 per cent American organization 2,376 Chicagoans. On Thursday Governor Len small appointed Robert R. Jackson, Negro alderman from the famed Second Ward, secretary of the Illinois Industrial Commission at a salary of $5,000 per annum. The water in the Jackson melon, as stated by the Chicago daily Tribune, lies in the averment that the alderman will find among the machinery of his new found berth. "The duty to make physical examinations of men, boys, women and girls, who appear before him with claims for compensation for injuries received in shops and factories." The fish in these muddy waters comes to the surface revealing that most of the large army of shop and factory woreks in the state of Illinois are white, and the inference drawn by the outspoken objectors to Jackson's appointment is that he will personally conduct the physical examinations of the white male and female applicants for compensation for injuries who appear before the commission. This is one end of the race conflict. Insurance Co. Moves Offices Because of Elevator Segregation (By The Associated Negro Press.) The Lincoln Reserve Life Insurance Company of Birmingham, Ala., an inter-racial corporation of which Dean L. B. Moore is national field executive, has refused to continue the occupancy of quarters in the Jefferson County Bank building as a protest against restrictions laid upon colored people in the use of elevators. Slater Held For Threatened Murder On complaint that he had threatened the life of another Negro, Marion Slater, colored, 33 years old, was arrested last night by the police. General G. Shade, Negro, living at 107 Des Moines street, told the officers that Slater had hung about his home with a revolver and threatened to shoot him. Slater was booked for investigation. The American apple owes much to the care of the Indian farmers, for the Indian was an able pomologist. It was not unusual 150 years ago for Indian orchards to have 1,500 trees, which all had been duly pruned and cultivated by the people we are prone to regard as nomadic savages. The peach and quince were also cultivated by them in later years. To the world the Indian introduced such fruits as the persimmon, the pawpaw, the pineapple and the Virginia strawberry. Price Five Cents IOT ECTED PRES. IS LEAGUE Prof. Kerlin IS Ousted (Special to Bystander.) The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, today announced receipt of news that Robert T. Kerlin, professor of English at Virginia Military Institute, and author of "The Voice of the Negro," had been expelled from his position because of a letter he wrote to the governor of Arkansas asking him to review the cases of the Negro farmers sentenced to death in connection with the Arkansas riots. In the letter Professor Kerlin wrote to the governor of Arkansas, he stated that the Negro farmers of Arkansas were the victims of peonage that they had neither instigated nor begun the riots as was shown in the trial before the Arkansas supreme court; that they had armed themselves only after being threatened and molested; and that the convicted Negro farmers had been tortured by whipping and an electric chair during their trials to make them testify as the white landlords wanted them to. "The time will yet come," said Professor Kerlin's letter, "when the world with full knowledge of this will be revolted by such Congo barbarity." Because of his championship of these victims of Arkansas "justice," Professor Kerlin was handed a resolution passed by the Board of Visitors of Virginia Military Institute, asking for his immediate resignation. Professor Kerlin refused to resign and the board of visitors therepon passed another resolution depriving him of his professorship. Lynches Fall As Hot Lead Checks Their Onslaugh Knoxville, Teen., Aug. 25.—"Here is watch; take that off Negro. My face greased black; I sorie, gone from here." The above note, undoubtedly written by a white man, was found behind the door of a local plumbing establishment with the wrist watch which belonged to the young white woman, whom, it is claimed, Frank Martin attacked. Martin is a mulatto. Two years ago Knoxville citizens sought to dynamite the county jail in an effort to get Maurice Mays, who is accused of having murdered Miss Bertie Lindsey. Friday night the mob came again. A great battle raged around the courthouse and when it had ended the defenders of the law had accounted for twenty-eight lawbreakers. The object was to get Frank Martin, who was arrested as a suspect in connection with the attackon the woman. Three Counties Mobilize. The law-abiding element of the city, which is in the minority, has been outspoken in its praise of the action of the sheriff's force, state police, infantrymen and cavalrymen. Extraordinary precautions were taken to protect the jail against dynamiting. As soon as it was learned that armed men were en route to the jail and Claybourne counties, six machine guns, manned by state police, were placed so as to sweep all approaches to the jail. Sparrows Eaten in England Sparrows are often eaten by English country persons. They are captured easily in fine mesh nets stretched over the ground and baited with grain, or in nets hung at night around their roosting places in ricks, hedges and ivy-chad walls. Also, the ground can be baited and a crowd of feeding sparrows laid low with a gun, using fine shot for the purpose.

Robbing Collective Paul To Pay Selective Peter We observe that there are representatives of a certain co-operative concern are trying to establish one of their stores in this city. They state that their plan will eliminate the jobber, wholesaler and the middleman and combine the three in one and divide the profits among the shareholders. That is a good scheme if it can be worked successfully, but what is the advantage, the disadvantages looking at the matter in a broad sense. We desire to make the following statements for the consideration of the colored people of this city: If you buy this firm's shares why not buy in limited quantities and feel your way through? Did you note that among the twenty-five girls at the main office as shown by the pictures are all white girls? Did you not observe that of the two or three hundred officials and office people at the home office that you never saw a BLACK face-ALL white? Do you note that only sixty Negroes are selling this firm's stocks or shares and they were especially prepared for this work and it is a perfect bread and butter proposition with them? If this concern establishes stores in this city, will they employ a manager? If they do and we support that concern are we not paying to be segregated?—the very thing that we howl about every day. The ignorant Negro in the Mississippi Delta can work for the white man and own any kind of automobile that he wants, have all the money to use as long as he works for the white man but, as soon as he decides that he wants to take some of that away he finds that there is nothing doing. If the white trustees of the great concerns wanted to go in the hole and this being a corporation what in the world could we do about our investments? The moment that these stores are established here we predict that the five Negro grocerymen here will be relegated to the wall. If at the present rate we have to pay them a little more the profit that the latter makes comes right back to us for they are of us but, if this other concern crowds them out and we support them the profit that they make will go to the white owners of this concern. It has been tried enough times to sufficiently prove that as soon as the whiteneman who caters to Negro support gets to the place that he can get along without us he does it regardless of how loyal we have been to him. Just as soon as the Negroes who support this concern demands that we have salesmanagers and vice presidents at the main offices with their colored stenographers, etc., you will find that they can get along without the Negro—it has never turned out any other way. The churches in this community will inevitably suffer as the people will be flocking to this get-rich-quick scheme so fast that the church will in a large way be forgotten. Is the salvation of our souls to be sold at a gambling table? If this concern does not offer the Negro equal chance in the positions of management every preacher in this city should not support this camouflaged form of segregation. Investment in real estate is the best investment on earth. The man or woman that owns the land of this country are the ones who own the country. Investigate and see if that isn't the case. Aside from an investment in real estate any proposition that says that they can't fail is a lie. Thousands of corporations have gone to wall this year who formerly stated that their scheme was unbreakable—how absurd to think that any business could be so secure. We are not fighting the co-operative movement but we are tired of seeing the Negroes being robbed with the dope that they are being helped as a race. The whitman just watches every move that the Negro makes and plays upon the Negroes' sentiment to enrich his coffers. How long will it be before we think twice and act once? William Pickens said the other day that if we are to win the race we must do it for ourselves and you can just wager your life that he was right and anytime a whitman comes to you with such schemes of combining his business proposition with your race issues. It's a moneymaking fake for the whitman. Pelican's Habita The pelican is commendably regular in his habits. The parest birds catch fish, and, after eating their fill, fly to their young, who eat by thrusting their bills down the mother's throat and fearing on the half-digested food. ROBERT MOTTON OF TUSEGEE. Our cars have been the recipient of many kind and uniknd things said of Dr. Motton but, in a recent speech of his we heartily indorse his ideas on Negro thrift. Motton has said many good things and among the most timely of his sayings we quote the following from a recent address: Another fundamental of race progress which we have got to learn, and I am glad to say that we are rapidly doing this, it is to be believe in our race and in the possibilities of our race and to be proud of our race. Nothing is more essential to the success of a race in its struggle for recognition, than is race pride. It is the duty of each one of us to teach pride in race and we preach pride in race. Stop telling the children that they cannot be this and that they cannot be that. Tell them that the future holds great possibilities for them and encourage them to strive to attain lofty heights. Teach them to read Negro literature and to study the history of the race that they may know that they have no reason to be ashamed of their race, that they may know that they are not members of an accursed race, an inferior and a shiftless race, but rather of a race which in years gone by has ruled the world, a race that has contributed to the progress and development of this country and of civilization and of a race of which they have just reasons to be proud. "Racial solidarity and pride in race are an impetus to race elevation. There is, however, one other element to which I-would call your attention, namely thrift. Save your money and invest it in corporations fostered by sane and trained businessmen of the race. Buy homes and other property. I do not urge you to save and invest your money solely for the sake of having money but rather for what money means in the way of respect, culture, better educational facilities, changed conditions, better and more positions for the youth of the race and other conditions which I do not have the time to mention now. Wealth is the power which gains the respect and recognition of all people, white and black. And if we are to take our place among other great and powerful races of the earth we must accumulate wealth and this can be done by saving and investing your money and by supporting business enterprises conducted by members of the race." The Bystander does its hat to the splendid principal of Tuskegee in admonishing his race to learn to acquire wealth—a thing that as he says will gain the recognition and respect of all people. Certainly we cannot expect to cope with other nations until we have learned to become financiers, whether in large or small proportions. Hunger, the Best Sauce. Sauce is used to create an appetite or sauce for the food. The right way to look for your digestion. When you have food poisoning you are certain to relish your food. Chamberlain's Tablets improve the digestion, create a healthy appetite and cause a gentle movement of the bowels. Strawberry wine may be made, the government says, for "non-beverage purposes." What do you do with it—rub it in your hair? Every time we read the names of participants in Russian affairs we feel that few of them can be regarded as pronounced successes. Nine people are killed every hour in American accidents, indicating that the safety specialists have their future in front of them. Just when things are beginning to get a bit monotonous, some official announces that he intends to enforce the laws against something. Conclusive evidence that Hungary is now in reactionary hands may be found in the news that it has abolished the fox-trot, one-step and jazz. The discovery has been made that Roger Bacon used high-power lenses in the Thirteenth century; but he never knew the joys of tortoise shell rims. "Spraying the mouth and throat seven times a day with a good antiseptic solution will ward off trouble," says a medical writer. It would also lay the dust, wouldn't it? What Is Best For Indigestion?

They state that their plan will eliminate the jobber, wholesaler and the middleman and combine the three in one and divide the profits among the shareholders. That is a good scheme if it can be worked successfully, but what is the advantage, the disadvantages looking at the matter in a broad sense. We desire to make the following statements for the consideration of the colored people of this city: If you buy this firm's shares why not buy in limited quantities and feel your way through? Did you note that among the twenty-five girls at the main office as shown by the pictures are all white girls? Did you not observe that of the two or three hundred officials and office people at the home office that you never saw a BLACK face-ALL white? Do you note that only sixty Negroes are selling this firm's stocks or shares and they were especially prepared for this work and it is a perfect bread and butter proposition with them? If this concern establishes stores in this city, will they employ a manager? If they do and we support that concern are we not paying to be segregated?—the very thing that we howl about every day. The ignorant Negro in the Mississippi Delta can work for the white man and own any kind of automobile that he wants, have all the money to use as long as he works for the white man but, as soon as he decides that he wants to take some of that away he finds that there is nothing doing. If the white trustees of the great concerns wanted to go in the hole and this being a corporation what in the world could we do about our investments? The moment that these stores are established here we predict that the five Negro grocerymen here will be relegated to the wall. If at the present rate we have to pay them a little more the profit that the latter makes comes right back to us for they are of us but, if this other concern crowds them out and we support them the profit that they make will go to the white owners of this concern. It has been tried enough times to sufficiently prove that as soon as the whiteneman who caters to Negro support gets to the place that he can get along without us he does it regardless of how loyal we have been to him. Just as soon as the Negroes who support this concern demands that we have salesmanagers and vice presidents at the main offices with their colored stenographers, etc., you will find that they can get along without the Negro—it has never turned out any other way. The churches in this community will inevitably suffer as the people will be flocking to this get-rich-quick scheme so fast that the church will in a large way be forgotten. Is the salvation of our souls to be sold at a gambling table? If this concern does not offer the Negro equal chance in the positions of management every preacher in this city should not support this camouflaged form of segregation. Investment in real estate is the best investment on earth. The man or woman that owns the land of this country are the ones who own the country. Investigate and see if that isn't the case. Aside from an investment in real estate any proposition that says that they can't fail is a lie. Thousands of corporations have gone to wall this year who formerly stated that their scheme was unbreakable—how absurd to think that any business could be so secure. We are not fighting the co-operative movement but we are tired of seeing the Negroes being robbed with the dope that they are being helped as a race. The whiteman just watches every move that the Negro makes and plays upon the Negroes' sentiment to enrich his coffers. How long will it be before we think twice and act once? William Pickens said the other day that if we are to win the race we must do it for ourselves and you can just wager your life that he was right and anytime a whiteman comes to you with such schemes of combining his business proposition with your race issues. It's a moneymaking fake for the whiteman. Pelican's Habita The pelican is commendably regular in his habit. The nearest birds catch fish, and after eating their fill, fly to their young, who eat by thrusting their bills down the mother's throat and fearing on the half-digested food. BOREET MOTTON OF TUSKEGEE. Our ears have been the recipient of many kind and unkind things said of Dr. Motton but, in a recent speech of his we heartily indorse his ideas on Negro thrift. Motton has said many good things and among the most timely of his sayings we quote the following from a recent address: Another fundamental of race progress which we have got to learn, and I am glad to say that we are rapidly doing this, it is to believe in our race and in the possibilities of our race and to be proud of our race. Nothing is more essential to the success of a race in its struggle for recognition, than is race pride. It is the duty of each one of us to teach pride in race and we preach pride in race. Stop telling the children that they cannot be this and that they cannot be that. Tell them that the future holds great possibilities for them and encourage them to strive to attain lofty heights. Teach them to read Negro literature and to study the history of the race that they may know that they have no reason to be ashamed of their race, that they may know that they are not members of an accursed race, an inferior and a shiftless race, but rather of a race which in years gone by has ruled the world, a race that has contributed to the progress and development of this country and of civilization and of a race of which they have just reasons to be proud. Thrift "Racial solidarity and pride in race are an impetus to race elevation. There is, however, one other element to which I would call your attention, namely thrift. Save your money and invest it in corporations fostered by same and trained businessmen of the race. Buy homes and other property. I do not urge you to save and invest your money solely for the sake of having money but rather for what money means in the way of respect, culture, better educational facilities, changed conditions, better and more positions for the youth of the race and other conditions which I do not have the time to mention now. Wealth is the power which gains the respect and recognition of all people, white and black. And if we are to take our place among other great and powerful races of the earth we must accumulate wealth and this can be done by saving and investing your money and by supporting business enterprises conducted by members of the race." The Bystander does its hat to the splendid principal of Tuskegee in admonishing his race to learn to acquire wealth—a thing that as he says will gain the recognition and respect of all people. Certainly we cannot expect to cope with other nations until we have learned to become financiers, whether in large or small proportions. Hunger, the Best Sauce Sauce is used to create an appetite or relish for the food. The right way is to look to your digestion. When you give a dish of sauce to your relish your food. Chamberlains Tables improve the digestion, create a healthy appetite and cause a gentle movement of the bowels. Strawberry wine may be made, the government says, for "non-beverage purposes." What do you do with it—rub it in your hair? Every time we read the names of participants in Russian affairs we feel that few of them can be regarded as pronounced successes. Nine people are killed every hour in American accidents, indicating that the safety specialists have their future in front of them. Just when things are beginning to get a bit monotonous, some official announces that he intends to enforce the laws against something. Conclusive evidence that Hungary is now in reactionary hands may be found in the news that it has abolished the fox-trot, one-step and jazz. The discovery has been made that Roger Bacon used high-power lenses in the Thirteenth century; but he never knew the joys of tortoise shell rims. "Spraying the mouth and throat seven times a day with a good anti-septic solution will ward off trouble," says a medical writer. It would also lay the dust, wouldn't it? What Is Best For Indigestion? Mr. A. B. Robinson of Drumquin, Ontario, has been troubled for years with indigestion. He has the lain's Tablets as "the best medicine I ever used."
