KANSAS SHREVEPORT BUYS PARK FOR COLORED PEOPLE SHREVEPORT BUYS PARK FOR COLORED PEOPLE Beautiful Recreation Grounds Dedicated with Fitting Ceremonies Additional Schools are Planned Shreveport, La., July 30.—The colored people of this city are rejoicing in the recent opening of a beautiful fifteen acre recreation ground, the gift of the city, which was dedicated with fitting exercises on July 4. The large assembly present celebrated the occasion with community singing and games, and congratulatory addresses were delivered by H. S. Davis, R. P. Player, Rev. J. H. Whaley and Rev. Mr. Williams. The property is most conveniently located and its topography is admirably suited to the purpose, with beautiful groves and shade, open spaces for baseball and tennis grounds, and a natural site for a swimming pool. It was recently purchased by the city at a cost of $26,000 and $3,600 will be expended this year by the park commission for improvements, equipment and supervision. The Colored Playground Association has raised $1,800 more to supplement this appropriation. According to the Shreveport Sun, leading colored paper, credit for this improvement "is due the local playground committee, several white women, the city administration and the Race Relations committee." The Sun editor continues, "the purchase of this park, along with the plan for building another high school and a ward school, prove beyond a doubt that conditions are improving and the relations between white and colored citizens growing better every month, as they learn more about others' wants and needs." THE RISING TIDE OF COLOR Otto Hall, writing in the Negro Champion, official organ of the American Negro Labor Congress, says, "A new day is dawning; the workers the world over are struggling to free themselves from the oppressive chains of imperialism. It is highly necessary that we, the Negro workers get into this struggle and form a united front with the Riffian, Chinese, Hindu and white workers of the world in the effort to rid the world of capitalistic exploitation." . . . "It is interesting to note," says Mr. Hall, "that the characters commonly known as the Uncle Tom Negro, Good Chinaman, Meek Hindu, and that noble defender of our American institutions, the boob white worker, are fast dying out and in their places are the fighting revolutionary workers, who are coming into the struggle with the determination to give all of their energy and their lives to free themselves from capitalistic oppression. CHICAGO COMMITTEE GIVING BIG AFFAIR Chicago, July 30. The local committee of action of the American Negro Labor Congress will give a dance and whist party Friday, July 24th. W. A. Jordan is chairman of this committee. The committee will hold a local conference Labor Day to elect delegates to the American Negro Labor Congress.

The candles can be obtained from the committee for a small sum of 10c each. A special program will be conducted at the Candle Light Social. The public is most cordially invited to attend these meetings. Gospel sermons and good singing. Vol. XI THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER BUILDING CAPITALISTS DECRY SOUTH'S LABOR LAWS New York, July 30.—"Bars put up by certain southern states to keep Negro labor from migrating to the north have a great deal to do with keeping the cost of building materials from coming down," writes Allen E. Beal in the current Dow Service Daily Building Reports. "Labor that remains in the south asked wages and conditions that had been offered them by northerners until laws were passed requiring that every industrial agent coming in for the purpose of engaging labor take out a license costing as much as $5,000.00. Negro runners who formerly had been in the north were paid northern wages to accept employment where large groups of Negroes were employed under exacting conditions in the south; to picture the roseate future for them in the north, especially emphasizing the larger amount of money they would earn; and severe penalties hung over the heads of runners and employers, alike." The "Y" is a busy place. A banquet serving 300 was had last Tuesday evening. Men's volley ball classes are going not withstanding hot weather. Large numbers are swimming every day. The executive secretary spoke to the young people of the Belmont Christian church last Sunday evening. Subject: "The Achievements of the American Negro." This subject was the theme of all young peoples societies of the Congregational and Christian churches (white) throughout the nation. A week end Boy's Camp, August 6, at Grove's Center. A number of business men have offered to take the boy's out in their cars. A great time for the boys. Fifteen boys are wanted. Inquire at Paseo Y. M. C. A. We miss Mr. Roy Wilkins from the dormitory. Trust he will recover soon and return. A very pleasant membership social was held last Monday evening. The members are urged to visit the "Y" often. Prof. J. P. King, Principal of Northeast Junior High School, verified his name by mastering all comers in checkers. A musical program will be rendered Sunday. Mr. Fitchue and Mrs. Johnson will have leading parts. Members of the committee of membership will have charge of the Sunday programs during the month of August. The Men's Bible class will provide the program for September. An interesting hour every Sunday at 3:30 p. m. TUSKEGEE ALUMNI MET The Tuskegee Alumni local club met last Thursday at Community Center. Mr. J. A. Thomas was present and brought us some encouraging news from Tuskegee. The following officers were elected for the year 1925-26: Mr. W. H. Clark, president. Mrs. Carrie Cook Jenkins, vicepresident. Mrs. Maud O. Kellough Butler, secretary. Miss Lydia Farris, assistant secretary. Mr. J. B. Jones, treasurer. All Tuskegee teachers, graduates and former students are asked to meet at Community Center Sunday afternoon at 4:00 o'clock. Business of importance. Mr. Harris will make a group picture of the club. Y. M. C. A. NOTES [Image of a man in a suit with a bow tie, looking directly at the camera. The background is a plain, light color. The man's face is clearly visible, with a serious expression. The image is oval-shaped.]] who has just been appointed by Governor Paulen, special attorney for the public service commission. Mr. Guy is a native of the state of Ohio, and after his course in Geneva College of that state, he entered as a student of law the office of Judge William Lawrence, of Bell Fountaine, Ohio, and from which he was admitted to practice by the Supreme Court of that state. He came to Kansas more than 25 years ago, locating in Topeka, where he has since resided and engaged in the active practice of his profession, serving four years as deputy prosecuting attorney, of Shawnee County. He is active in fraternal societies, having served as attorney for the Sunflower Grand Lodge, K. of P. for 15 years consecutively, and is the present attorney for the United Brothers of Friendship, and Sister of the Mysterious Ten, and has been raised to a high degree in Masonry. He served four years as vice-president of the Topeka Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and was one of the attorneys in the Robert Hill, of Arkansas, extradition case. Mr. Guy holds a life member certificate in the Topeka Educational and Industrial institute, (now the Kansas Vocational School), and for many years a member of the Board of Trustees, and for the past few years a lecturer at the school, on elementary law. In politics Mr. Guy is what is usually termed, "regular." He has been active in many campaigns in the interest of the Republican ticket. He is a Churchman, and senior warden in the church of St. Simons the Cyrenian, a staunch supporter of the Inter-State Literary Association, which he assisted in organizing in Topeka, a number of years ago, and served one term as its president. TAX CUT GOING. TO DO SOME MORE CUTTING UNCLE? US GOVERNMENT ECONOMY MAJOR COX SAYS NEGROES SHOULD LEAVE Richmond, Va., July 30.—Major C. E. Cox, author of "White America" and "Let My People Go," lectured before the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Major Cox thinks that the U. S. Government should send the Negroes back to Africa as they are no longer needed as cheap labor. Major Cox is a member of the Anglo-Saxon club of Richmond and the Ku Klux Klan, he is a staunch believer in white supremacy, as his two books show, and was the guiding force in having the infamous Racial Integrity Law passed by the Virginia General Assembly. ADVOCATE CHRISTIANS FAVOR LYCHING A Christian organization, known as the Baptist Young Peoples Union went on record as approving of lynching under some circumstances at their 34th annual convention held at Indianapolis, Ind. They also decided the United States should join the league of nations and the world court. They believed that the present restrictions on European immigration should be made more rigid. They were in favor of the Child Labor law (we marvel at this), and thought the Japanese should be kept out of the United States. In short, they approved every reactionary act against the workers. How Christian! SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 WESTERN BAPTIST CONVENTION (CONCLUED) Wednesday morning, Mrs. Clement Richardson and Mrs. S. Layton, of Philadelphia, gave appropriate addresses Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. M. Burrill of Lincoln, addressed the women Wednesday night. Attorney Gertrude Rush of Iowa, made a fine address. Thursday, 10 a.m., the main convention opened. Major Gordon and seven others made addresses. Rev. E. A. Wilcox of Texas, made a fine response and in the afternoon memorials for the late Dr. Stewart and Rev. S. E. Watson were given, Dr. Thomas, Dr. Robinson, W. L. Petty, Rev. Branham, Dr. S. Bacote, Dr. Nicholson and Dr. H. Parsons. Thursday night, a sermon by Rev. E. C. Wilson and an address by the national representative. Friday a. m., a survey of Kansas Education and in the afternoon a survey of Iowa, Nebraska and Minnesota, by J. H. Reynolds, S. Bates, W. F. Botts and L. W. Harris. Friday night was educational night. Dean Mitchell spoke for Central Seminary at Topeka, and Prof. C. Richardson spoke for Western College, K. C. Mo. Again, Mrs. M. C. Matthews was called to render a poem to the men and received the most applause of any on the program. The combined choirs sang fine. Sunday at 11 a. m., President Robinson preached fine and a mass meeting was at 3 p. m., and the closing sermon was at night by Rev. S. Bates. The many delegates and pastors were given the parting hand and thus ended the 22nd annual session of the Western Baptist Convention held at Pleasant Green Baptist church, July, 1925, adjourned to meet in Lincoln, Nebr., next year (1926). NOTES ON THE WESTERN CONVENTION One very important feature was the talk by the missionary, who will sail for Africa, soon. She was given over $20. Mrs. K. Weedon is made national committee to collect art work for the Western Baptist convention. A large delegation headed by Dr. S. Bacote went in autos to Leavenworth to visit the prisons and Soldiers' Home. All officers except one absentee, were re-elected in the Mens' Western Baptist Convention. It was a great affair. KILLED ESCAPING PEONAGE England, Ark., July 30.—Rayfield Dixon, of Augusta, who was held in peonage on the plantation of J. R. England, white, was shot and killed as he attempted to escape. A representative of the American Negro Labor Congress found that the England plantation is famous for its Negro peons placed there charged with the disturbing of the peace. Mr. and Mrs. B. J. Washington of 933 Washington boulevard had a pleasant trip down south where they visit the uncle of Mr. Washington, at Dumar, Ark. They also visited the city of Little Rock and Hot Springs, Arkansas. Number 50 'AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK' WILL BE OBSERVED 'AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK' WILL BE OBSERVED Washington, D. C. July 30. "American Education Week" for the year 1925 will be nationally observed from the 16th to the 22nd of November at which time careful inventory will be made of the educational progress of American youth, and plans made for improved conditions in school taxation, equipment, text books, physical and health education, vocational training, and more equal educational opportunities for all the youth of every state. It will also probably be recalled that white illiteracy in Alabama has been reduced by 66.5 percent in 30 years and Negro illiteracy by 55.7 per cent, thus revealing a prejudicial variation of 10.8 per cent common to the bulwrak of the Democratic states. In this particular connection it may be noted that the lowest illiteracy rates are found in the Republican states, twenty-seven of which have laws compelling school attendance during the entire school year. Only seven Democratic states have such laws. Twenty-one Republican states provide for evening and continuation schools; only one Democratic state makes such provision. Only eleven states, all of which are normally Republican, require a child to have at least an eighth grade education before it can get permission to engage in industrial employment. Two regularly Democratic states permit children with only a fourth grade education to quit school and go to work; while certain other Democratic states demand no education at all of children before permitting them to engage in gainful occupations. And, finally, the highest levels, without exception, are found in the normal Republican states, in many of which further increases in teachers' salaries are now in contemplation. Those who are deeply absorbed in the public duty of removing such disparities in education as are shown between the races in Alabama, which is typical of the Democratic area, will do well to prepare for "American Education Week" with the view to making helpful suggestions and presenting definite programs such as have brought about the educational protection which the Republican party has thrown about the youth of the country. VOCATIONAL SCHOOL QUARTET TO TOUR Topeka, Kans., July 28.—The Extension Division of the Kansas Vocational School is sending out during the month of August a quartette that will make a two weeks tour through the southern part of the state and part of Oklahoma, spending three days at the National Negro Business League meeting in Tulsa. The trip will include singing engagements at Emporia, Newton, Wichita, Arkansas City, Coffeyville, Cherryvale, Chanute, Iola, Fort Scott, Paola, Ottawa, Kansas and Tulsa and Bartlesville, Okla. Arrangements have been perfected with Dr. D. W. Crawford, president of the local business league in Tulsa, for an educational exhibit by the school at the national league meeting. A well selected exhibit from the industrial departments of the school is being got together and will be put on display to demonstrate the type of work being done. Outlook for the coming school year is exceptionally bright. A large number of applications here already come in. The vocational courses to be offered next year will include courses in teacher training, commercial training, carpentry, mechanics, tailoring, nurse training and home economics. KU KLUX KLAN ATTACKS NEGRO HOME New York City, July 30. After sending several letters signed by their seal, the K. K. K. attacked the home of Samuel Brown on Staten Island Saturday morning, July 18th. Doors and windows were smashed, flower pots and window boxes torn down from the windows, and trees and shrubbery torn up by the roots. This is the second time the Klan has attacked Brown's house. Last September, the Klan, after trying to intimidate him by sending threatening letters, attacked the house in a similar fashion. Fifteen have been identified by Brown as among the attackers.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. LAWYER JAMES H. GUY, SPECIAL ATTORNEY FOR STATE In the appointment of Lawyer James H. Guy, of Topeka, by Governor Ben S. Paulen, as special attorney for the Public Service Commission, was in the Advocates judgment, one in a class to itself. Attorney Guy in the first place, is a good lawyer and the governor knew it and with this every other thing balances with the profession. Yes, the commission has a man, who can be relied upon, as doing the work and do it well. While Attorney Guy was a strong administration man, in the primary and election, but his appointment comes under that head of efficiency and worth to the department. Mr. Guy is an Ohioian by birth and comes from a long lineage of Guy's whose records stand above the ordinary, wherever the name of Guy is found. We congratulate Mr. Guy in his appointment and Governor Paulen in his excellent selection. The class leaders Council of Greater Kansas City will meet at the First A. M. E.

CAN TELL NEGRO BLOOD (Columbian Press Bureau.) Moscow, July 30.—A new method of chemical analysis is announced by Dr. Manoyloff, a Russian scientist, by which Negro blood, or the blood of any other race; for that matter, can be definitely discerned and identified. It is also claimed by Dr. Manoyloff that sex differences can be ascertained by his newly discovered blood test. In 1,362 experiments it is said that Dr. Manoyloff's analysis for sex were 100 per cent perfect; while his analyses for race were 99.3 per cent correct. -TWO WORKERS DIE TRYING TO SAVE ANOTHER New Albany, Ind., July 30. James Russell and Horace Russ, two colored men, lost their lives in an attempt to save Frank Ang, a white worker who had been overcome by poisonous fumes in a gas vat. Russell and Russ went to the assistance of Ang who had entered the vat and failed to return. They climbed down the ladder into the vat and were also overcome by poisonous gas fumes. Later in the day the three bodies were recovered. THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE THE WEEKLY ANNOUNCER OF FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES The large congregation which attended Metropolitan Baptist church, were highly pleased with the intelligent, brief Biblical sermon preached by Dr. H. Parsons of Minnesota. He certainly understands the Bible, and is endowed with the Holy Spirit. Many Christians gave vent to their approval spiritually. Pastor Bronson said it was an excellent sermon. At 8 p. m., we did not get our other speaker from the Western Convention and Dr. Bronson gave a short sermon, after Rev. A. Boyston sang sweetly. A special quartet sang also.

Dallas, Texas, comes in for its share also. CHINESE AND HINDU STUDENTS CONTRIBUTE FOR CHINESE STRIKERS Detroit, Mich., July 30.—At a re- cent meeting here, called for the pur- pose ef expressing sympathy with the Chinese workers in their struggle for independence, there were present about 600 Hindu and Chinese students, says M. Gomez, secretary of the anti- Imperialist league. A collection of over $1,000 was taken to be sent to the Chinese workers in China, “If,” continues Hall, “the Ameri- ean Negro Labor Congress which con- ¥enes in Chicago, October 25th is com- posed: of militant, fighting Negroes whose object is to better the condi- tions of the working class in general and the Negro in particular, who is the most exploited worker of them all, it will make a determined effort to organize the Negro workers into a real working class organization, and every Negro worker should get into that movement and help them put this thing over, and thereby play his part with the workers of the world in their united effort to overthrow the burden of imperialism.” io Nets tense ete ok een those io 1e1 advertising help to make this paper possible.
