THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE. (First of a Series of Articles on the N. A. A. C. P.) By Mary White Owington. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is ten years old—old enough, it is believed, to have a history; and I, who am perhaps its first member, have been chosen as the person to recite it. As its work since 1910 has been set forth in its annual reports, I shall make it my task to show how it came into existence and to tell of its first months of work. In the summer of 1908, the country was shocked by the account of the Race riots at Springfield, Ill. Here, in the home of Abraham Lincoln, a mob, containing many of the town's "best citizens," raged for two days, killed and wounded scores of Negroes, and drove thousands from the city. Articles on the subject appeared in newspapers and magazines. Among them was one in the Independent of September 3d, by William English Walling, entitled "Race War in the North." After describing the atrocities committed against the Colored people, Mr. Walling declared: Either the spirit of the abolitionists, of Lincoln and of Lovejoy must be revived and we must come to treat the Negro on a plane of absolute political and social equality, or Vardaman and Tillman will soon have transferred the Race war to the North." And he ended with these words, "Yet who realizes the seriousness of the situation, and what large and powerful body of citizens is ready to come to their ad?" It is so happened that one of Mr. Walling's readers accepted his question and answered it. For four years I had been studying the status of the Negro in New York. I had investigated his housing conditions, his health, his opportunities for work. I had spent many months in the South, and at the time of Mr. Walling's article, I was living in a New York Negro tenement on a Negro street. And many investigations and my surroundings led me to believe with the writer of the article that "the spirit of the abolitionists must be revived." So I wrote to Mr. Walling, and after some time, for he was in the West, we met in New York in the first week of the year 1909. With us Mr. Henry Moskowitz, now prominent in the administration of John Purroy Mitchell, Mayor of New York. It was then that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was born. Northern White Woman Starts Abolition Movement. It was born in a little room of a New York apartment. It is to be regretted that there are no minutes of the first meeting, for they would make interesting if unparliamentary reading. Mr. Walling had spent some years in Russia where his wife, working in the cause of the revolutionists, had suffered imprisonment; and he expressed his belief that the Negro was treated with greater inhumanity in the United States than the Jew was treated in Russia. As Mr. Walling is a Southerner we listened with conviction. I knew something of the Negro's difficulty in securing decent employment in the North and of the insolent treatment awarded him at Northern hotels and restaurants, and I voiced my protest. Dr. Moskowitz, with his broad knowledge of conditions among New York's helpless immigrants, aided us in properly interpreting our facts. And so we talked and talked, voicing our indignation. Of course we wanted to do something at once that should move the country. It was January. Why not choose Lincoln's birthday, February 12, to open our campaign? We decided, therefore, that a wise immediate action would be the issuing on Lincoln's birthday of a call for a national conference on the Negro question. At this conference we might discover the beginnings, at least, of that "large and powerful body of citizens" of which Mr. Walling had written. And so the meeting adjourned. Something definite was determined upon, and our next step was to call others into our councils. We at once N.C. Standing—Left to right: Dr. M. B. Jones, Sylvester Smith, J. P. Cespedes, Archie Madison, William Martin. Sitting—Left to right: Mrs. Essie Lewis, Mrs. Clara E. Adams, Mrs. Ella Lawson, Mrs. May Chandler. turned to Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard, grandson of Wm. Lloyd Garrison, president of the N. Y. Evening Post Company. He received our suggestions with enthusiasm, and aided us in securing the co-operation of able and representative men and women. It was he who drafted the Lincoln's birthday call and helped to give wide publicity. I give the call in its entirety with the signatures since it expresses, I think, better than anything else we have published, the spirit of those who are active in the Association's cause. A very important gathering of Churchmen was the meeting of the Presiding Elder's Council of the Fifth Episcopal District embracing all the territory from the Mississippi river to the Pacific Coast. After the Council had been called together Wednesday by Bishop H. B. Parks, its presiding officer, he announced that every Presiding Elder was present save from the Puget Sound Conference. On Wednesday evening a reception was held at Bethel A. M. E. Church where the Council was in session and addresses of welcome were delivered by Harrison Williams, Prof. H. L. Cox, Rev. O. A. Johnson, and Nelson C. Crews and were eloquently responded to by Rev. J. T. Smith of the Kansas Conference. Bishop Parks also delivered a stirring address that aroused his audience to a high pitch of enthusiasm. On Thursday morning at 11:00 o'clock Presiding Elder J. S. Wilson of California preached the Annual sermon to a large congregation and in the evening Dr. J. R. Ransom of Wichita, Kansas, lectured on "Over There" and "Over Here," and presented much food for thought in his analytical discussion. Rev. R. L. Pope of the Colorado district also delivered a brief address. The Bishop announced that the district was in the best possible condition and that the prospects are for one of the most successful financial and spiritual years in the history of he Church. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, MARCH 22. 1919. DR. BUNDY'S TRIAL IS NOW GOING ON. Waterloo, Ill., March 21, 1919. The famous Bundy trial is on in a picturesque Court House sitting back amongst a group of trees on the town's main street. Judge J. F. Gilliam, Edwardsville, Il., is presiding over the case that has gained Nation-wide publicity and unenviable notoriety. A terrific legal battle will be waged, as the name of every Attorney interested in the case spells "brains" in the world of law. The prosecution is represented by Assistant Attorney General C. W. Middlekauf, J. A. Farmer, appointed to assist the Assistant Attorney General, Senator A. C. Bolinger, Hubert E. Schaumileffel, State's Attorney of St. Clair County, and R. E. Gauere, State's Attorney of Monroe County (all white), while arrayed on the side of the Defense are T. M. Webb and S. W. Baxter, East St. Louis, Ill.; L. P. Zerweck, Belleville, Ill.; A. H. Frederick, Waterloo, Ill. (all white); W. C. Hueston, of the law firm of Hueston & Calloway, Kansas City, Mo.; Homer G. Phillips, St. Louis, Mo., and P. W. Howard, Jackson, Miss. At the press table are seated H. R. Lownsberry, St. Louis Star; J. C. Koerner, St. Louis Republic, and Nettie George Speedy, The Chicago Defender. Tuesday the state announced itself ready for trial. The defense made a motion for a continuance, alleging that several important witnesses were absent. The motion was overruled by the court, with the understanding that the testimony of George Lyons, who is now in France, should be admitted as evidence. The selection of the jury, which began at 1:30 P. M. Tuesday, is being conducted by Senator A. C. Bolinger, for the state and Attorney T. M. Webb for the defense. Among those attending the trial are Major Wm. T. Anderson, retired Chaplain of U. S. Army, representing the parents of Dr. Bundy; Rev. W. H. Peek, pastor St. James A. M. E. Church, St. Louis, Mo.; Miss Jennie E. Lawrence, representing the People's Movement, Chicago, Ill.; Dr. Earl Williams, Lovejoy, Ill., and Mr. and Mrs. Malone, Poro College, St. Louis, Mo. On Thursday the jury was completed, consisting of ten farmers, one merchant and one laboring man. The state is leaving no stone unturned to bring about the conviction of Dr. Bundy. The state is bringing forward witnesses heretofore unheard of on the part of the defendant; it is said that one of the witnesses for the people or state, is a white man, who will say that Dr. Bundy, on the night of the riot, shot him, the witness, in his foot. This witness is under indictment for participating in the riot and has not been tried. He is here in charge of a State Detective. The state is also depending upon Negro witnesses as well as white witnesses to convict Dr. Bundy. Only one Negro family lives in this county. The inhabitants are practically all Germans. Yet the defense believes that this is not an unfavorable circumstance for them. Hundreds of strangers are here and more are still arriving. One of the noticeable things about the trial is the brilliant fight being put up for Dr. Bundy by his lovely wife, who seems not to tire in the efforts for her husband's acquittal. It is expected the trial will not be finished until early next week. 92ND DETACHMENT PARADES. A detachment of the 92nd Division stopped off in Kansas City early Friday morning and paraded the down town streets at 10 A. M. headed by City officials and the Negro Kansas State Guard, commanded by Major D. A. Holmes. Dinner was served by the committee who has been waiting for them all day. At 1:30 Friday morning and luncheon at noons. Thousands lined the streets of the parade and the boys were given a rousing reception. H. S. Dudley's "Darktown Frolicks" will begin a two weeks' engagement at the Auditorium Theater Monday night, March 24th. The company of forty people will jump direct from Cincinnati, arriving in Kansas City early Monday morning, and give a big a big street parade at noon. THE PHILLIPS 86TH BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY. Keokuk, Iowa—Despite the very inclement weather a large crowd of the doctor's friends assembled at Pilgrim's Rest Baptist Church, corner of Exchange and Fourteenth streets, to pay homage to him Tuesday evening, March 4. Every number on this splendid program responded. The musical side was cared for by the People's Institute Band, of which Dr. Phillips is an honorary member, and vocal solos by Mrs. M. E. Moore, who pleased the audience with "Love's Old Sweet Song," and dMrs. Daisy Ware Triplett, who has graced every occasion on which she has appeared for years. A short sketch of the life of the guest of honor was given by Mrs. Selby Johnson, who told of his having been a slave, sold on the auction block twice. Mr. Dudley will bring an all-star cast, including Eddie West, Watts and Willis, Wilton and Crawley, Wilson and Bumbray, Allie Johnson, and a chorus of twenty Baltimore Belles. A carload of scenery is used for the production and the costumes are beautiful. Final arrangements have been made for Mr. Dudley to present his new show, "The New Frolics of 1920," for the second week of his engagement here, starting Monday night, March 31st. Everything will be new, new songs, new costumes, new scenery, new dance numbers, and in fact a different show altogether. The colored people will have the choice of any seat in the house. The seats are now on sale at the box office. Southern Melody Makers at St. James Church, 1805 Woodland avenue, Monday night, March 24th. THE PHILLIPS 86TH BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY. Keokuk, Iowa—Despite the very increment weather a large crowd of the doctor's friends assembled at Pilgrim's Rest Baptist Church, corner of Exchange and Fourteenth streets, to pay homage to him Tuesday evening, March 4. Every number on this splendid program responded. The musical side was cared for by the People's Institute Band, of which Dr. Phillips is an honorary member, and vocal solos by Mrs. M. E. Moore, who pleased the audience with "Love's Old Sweet Song," and dMrs. Daisy Ware Triplet, who has graced every occasion on which she has appeared for years. A short sketch of the life of the guest of honor was given by Mrs. Selby Johnson, who told of his having been a slave, sold on the auction block twice and three times in the woods, a Civil war veteran, a student in Canadian and Kansas schools, a newspaper man for fifteen years (edited the Western Optic at Moberly, Mo.), having established U. B. of F. lodges throughout the state of Missouri, organized and pastored Baptist churches for over 40 years; has given the first lessons in public speaking to some of the best orators the Race has produced, among whom is the Hon. Nelson C. Crews of Kansas City, Mo.; possesses one of the best libraries of any member of his Race; has lived in Keokuk for 31 years, and financially speaking, he doesn't care whether school keeps or not; closing with several stanzas of original verse. Rev. C. B. Waters, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church, had for his subject, "Men of Service Always Honored," and brought out many points of value in the lives of great men even before the settlement of this country. PRICE, 5c. Rev. J. Sterling Moore, pastor of Pilgrim Rt Baptist Church, not only rendered the invocation, but also talked splendidly on Dr. Phillips as a lodge man. Having known the doctor for 25 years, he was able to give a very interesting talk on the great work the doctor had done along the line of organization among his people. The U. B. of F's are among the wealthiest lodges and temples of the country. Phillips lodges and temples are many throughout the state of Missouri. F. S. Johnson, in behalf of the People's Institute Band, made a splendid talk on the encouragement the doctor had given the band from its organization up till the present time, and of the many contributions unsolicited he had given them, and presented him with a handsome gold headed cane. Fred Fields, the manager of the band, presented a beautiful bronze calendar holder and paper weight combined in behalf of W. W. Fields and wife and Miss Brent from Quincy, Ill. Alonzo Drane was master of ceremonies and acted his part well. He humorously told how one had "been put over" on the doctor and in behalf of the citizens of Kookuk presented him a gold plate of gold coins. Also he was requested by Mayor Loften to present a handsome silver headed um'brella from the mayor, County Attorney E. W. McManus, Commissioner Hieck and Judge McNamora. The "Two Eds" (Mayor Lofton and Attorney McManus) as he calls them, made the climax addresses of the evening and all regretted when they sat down. Mayor Lofton reviewed the 88 years carefully over which the subject had traveled. Attorney McManus dwelt largely on the personality, the divine gifts and the various achievements the doctor had made. The doctor ably responded to all of these speakers, thanked them heartily for their gifts and frankly admitted for the first time in his life "one had been put over" on him. ROSCOE C. JAMISON The brilliant young poet who passed away one year ago upon the very threshold of a great career. We shall reproduce one of his poems next week. FOUR CAMP GRANT OFFICERS TO DEFEND NEGRO SOLDIERS Camp Grant, Ill., March 18.—Four Camp Grant officers have been appointed by Maj. Gen.

Shadow and Sunshine. In an issue last week of the great Kansas City Daily reference was made to the stalwart but swarthy heroes of the 924 Division, U. S. A. passing through Kansas City, in these words: “Every window was filled with broad grins, revealing expanses of dazzling white ivories, and many a woolly head Was encased in a captured German helmet.” In striking contrast to this, the editor of the leading Democratic daily West of the Mississippi stood before a vast audience in Lincoln High School last Sunday and declared: “The Black soldiers of the United States army.” There were none better in France or any other battle field. They were superior to our white soldiers in this, when ordered to take a posi- tion they would rush in joyous song and take the place in spite of every. thing and stop right there. Our White lads would take a position and go far- ther sometimes endangering their own men. Our Black boys were under per- feet discipline, and | am not making fun, for with my own eyes I have seen them in action.” It was such sights that inspired the above meptioned editor, Dr. Burris A.

But these things are not so. America has not only ful- filled her mission, but has just reached the plane of France when she unselt- ishly came to the aid of the colonial reyolutionists, Suppose at that time France had insisted on taking charge of the young republic and outlining a course for her to pursne. What would the United States have been today America has much yet to do and she can do it only by being free.

We need not mention the long unprotected boun- dary line between the United States and Canada. In the fight of these ‘things there is no necessity for the ‘United States to assime either volun. ‘tarily or under duress the weighty but unnecessary responsibilities of the provision of the proposed constitution to the League of Nations, which prm.- ises to project rather than t allay war. Granted thet the South American republics can and prefer to stand alone and the Monroe Doctrine is no longer needed; England's five votes to the one of the United States could hardly cause the latter to look with favor upon the plan, But whence came this constitution? It is the product not of Purope that has sufered most, not of Asia, not of the Americas, not of Australia, but of Africa the ances: tral home of the Negro.

Betty & Sam's Little Corner Little Corner —That flattery is the salt that is sprinkled on the tail of vanity. —That the man who is afraid of being laughed at is in danger of becoming a failure. —That some people are so unfortunate that if they tumbled into good luck they would hurt themselves. —That a certain married lady who suspicioned that her husband was visiting at another's home, went to investigate and was thrown down the steps for her trouble. —That a certain widow allowed a good-looking due to "invest" her husband's insurance money and when she demanded that she see where her money was invested, he calmly ran his hand into his pocket and turned it wrong side out. Poor widow! —That when a certain young Miss who wore a hobble skirt last Sunday morning on Church Hill attempted to step into a street car, her dress started ripping and kept on ripping until the slit had gone to her waist. Oh, the styles! —That a well known gentleman was run over the other day by an automobile because he was watching some well built girls get on the street car and when he was surrounded by onlookers who attempted to pick him up he said. "Please leave me here until they get on." —That a certain well known Plois brother in telling his "determination" at Covenant meeting the other night said: "My eyes are set heavenward and my brain can think of nuthin' else 'cept heavenly things.' In about thirty minutes' time the said brother was caught in a raid in a buffet flat. Why was he there? Betty and Sam thot he must have been looking for the angels.

Nelson, the well known barber of 1616 East 18th street, is determined to lead in the barber business, as is demonstrated by the many additions which he has made from time to time to increase the attractiveness to his patronage. Mr. Nelson has recently received a valuable addition to his force in the person of Mrs. Willa Bridge of Dallas, Texas, who is a skillful and finished artist, also J. H. Anderson, who has built up a wonderful trade since being connected with this thriving business. Mr. Nelson has installed two electric hair cutting machines and undoubtedly has one of the handsomest shops in not only this city, but the entire West. Every comfort and convenience for his patrons has been installed and he has a patronage far surpassing other shops of its size in Kansas City. If you want the best and latest service in an up-to-date shop and by the most skillful workmen call on C. J. Nelson, 1616 East 18th street, and you will never go anywhere else.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. Southern Melody Makers at St. James Church, 1805 Woodland avenue, Monday night, March 24th. The Southern Melody Makers will be heard in a concert at St. James Church, 1805 Woodland avenue, Monday evening, March 24. When America was just entering the war it was hopefully urged that the Negro would emerge from the service with all the obnoxious color barriers broken down. Present indications are, however, that the barriers have simply been strengthened and only the black soldier's health has been broken down. Seizing the psychological moment Prof. J. R. E. Lee is said to have made a most forceful appeal for race fairness in school room ethics at a meeting of the high school section of the city teachers institute last Saturday. The vigorous and prolonged applause which followed his remarks indicated the effect produced by his arguments. The League of Nations is hardly a subject which need produce any disturbing reactions in our study of political or social conditions. What should interest us most is some sort of actual working out of that World Democracy for which we went in to fight. We should like to see it in this part of the world, too, if you please. In a university extension study class made up of about thirty Kansas City school principals who are making some scientific investigations along the line of sub-normalities In children and intelligence measurements several Negro school heads are enrolled. Dr. R. A. Schwegler of Kansas University is directing the work. In a judgment reasoning test which he gave to the principals recently Prin. Joe E. Herriford, of the Yates School, won the second highest number of points and was one of the four being ranked in Class A. A. Other Negro principals made good showings and none of them received the lowest marks. The Sun was extremely gratified to receive the following letter from one of the foremost business establishments in Kansas City. Editor The Kansas City Sun. Dear Sir: Your solicitor has today called upon me for an ad. I have been wondering why he has not called upon me before and had intended to call up and have you send someone to me. The Baltimore Shirt Co. gets thousands of dollars every year out of the Colored people of Kansas City and we feel that we should help to support a paper of your kind. I have today given your solicitor a contract for an ad to run for one year. If more of the big stores in Kansas City who take the Colored man's money and sell him merchandise would do likewise, a short time you could make this a daily paper instead of a weekly, which a town of this size should support. Yours very truly, Baltimore Shirt Co. W. E. Davis, Mgr. Madeline Council, No. 21, of the Ancient Sons and Daughters of Jerusalem, gave a banquet Monday night at headquarters, 1150 Independence avenue. Plates were laid for 154.

Turner, S. G. O., and Rev Mc Manamy, who spoke along the lines of the order. Preceding the banquet a short program was rendered by the Chatham sisters. Solo by Mrs. Mar the Wright.

Y., March 21.—Sergeant Henry Johnson of the old 15th New York Regiment, who killed four Germans and put twenty-one others to flight, has been the biggest man in Albany during the last fortnight. Everywhere he oges crowds follow him, and he is the most unassuming hero ever seen in this city. He has the record for having made the shortest and yet one of the most fortable addresses on record. He was before the legislature of New York and was speaking in support of the bill to grant veterans of the world war the same civil service recognition as veterans of the Civil and Spanish-American wars. Johnson said: "I do not know rightly just what to say to you gentlemen. You know we went over there and did our bit. Only a few of us came back. Now, what are you going to do for us?" This address got more applause than all of the other speakers combined. (By the Associated Negro Press.) New Orleans, La., March 21.—Arthur Edwin Johnson of this city is the name of a new Negro artist who has been discovered in the last few days. He never has taken a lesson in art, but his productions are regarded marvelous, and hundreds of people of both races flock to his humble gallery every day to see his handiwork.
