Although I am'a mulatto, I can not rise higher or sink lower than the black man. If he is elevated, I am lifted up also; if he is degraded, I am included in his degradation. If I do something to hold him back, I have struck a blow at myself. And for this reason I have brought the moving pictures into the race problem. The moving pictures have come into our lives to stay. They cannot be ignored, however much you would like to do so, as a potent factor in moulding and shaping the destiny of races. They must build up and strengthen for us where the black face Comedian and the exaggerative drama has torn down. MR. RUCKER SMITH. His interesting articles are always eagerly sought by the readers of the Sun. The moving picture with its highly instructive proclivities, its penetrative and epigrammatic language and its portrayal of human affairs, whither in the snow-capped mountains of the North, or under the sweltering Sun of the South, touches a chord of human sympathy which soothes and uplifts the race for whom it was produced. It can do the same thing for our race if we desire it. If you are a true race man or woman, demand that colored movies shall represent the race, not the yellow caste alone, zut every hue and color of the race, and that no black face shall be used discreditably. The black-face Comedian had its origin in the dark days following slavery. The Georgia minstrels, Alabama blossoms and other companies, so deeply impressed the idea upon the minds of both races, that now a black face must have white rings around their eyes and mouth to appear upon the stage. This is not only practised by professional theatrical people, but the horror of it, that is practiced by local dramatic clubs, staged for the race only. The black race came through a legitimate door of creation, if any other race did. The only difference is that nature produced so abundantly on his native land, the whip of necessity was not applied to him as it was to races in colder climates. The greatest problem of all races is to hold untarnished, undefiled, beautiful and chaste ideals of woman and manhood. No race ever succeeded without them. No race can fall with them. Give us clean race pictures along with pure raceliterature, then watch the race grow. CHICAGO NEGROES INCREASE (By the Associated Negro Press.) Chicago, Dec. 21.—The census bureau at Washington has just announced that the Negro population of Chicago has increased 65,491 in the last decade and now is 109,594. The percentage of increase was 148.5. The total white population is 2,589,104, an increase of 450,047, or 21%, and all others numbered 3,007. Prominent Colored state that the Colored population is 150,000 at least. Entered as second-class matter, August —, 1908, at the postoffice at Kansas City, Mo., under the act of March 3, 1879.

Dear Friend Crews:— the wa gold-ca roll by in Hin still al iellity I thought to write you today as we near the shores of England. We feel that we have so many good friends there who have remained true all these years that they may care to know how we have spent the days since we left-Kansas City. At Washington, Philadelphia and New York we were given splendid farewell receptions. Bishops, General Officers, Ministers and menhower showed us with courtesies, kind and encouraging words and even donations. They made us know that they cared for us and wished us well on the long far journey to a strange people in a strange land. May God bless them—we will never forget them. During the stay in Washington I visited various embassies for the purpose of having our passports visaed to different countries while abroad. These included England, Italy, France and Switzerland. The Kroonland, on which we were to sail was delayed on the way to New York owing to bad weather at sea and we were transferred to the "Olympic" the largest steamer of the British Empire. The ship is a veritable palace. The nearest I have seen to it in gorgeousness was at the White House receptions, while we lived in Washington. All sorts and conditions are aboard, Rear Admirals, Counts, millionaires, and every type down to third class passengers below. Curiously enough Capt. Archibald Roosevelt, a son of any great and good friend the late Col. Roosevelt is on the same deck with me just across the hall. There is no discrimination anywhere. In the lobby, the dining room and everywhere we receive every courtesy and consideration. With meeting some pleasant people, plenty of books to read and the diversions on board the time passes rapidly. Some of the weather has been a bit stormy but today as we near France the sky is cloudless. How grand, beautiful and awe inspiring is the sea.

This is the season of the year when it is a pleasure to exchange fraternal greetings which cement the cordial relationship and good feeling which exist between us. We wish also to assure you that our best endeavors will be to maintain that quality and service given to Jeff's lunch, and in extending to our friends sincere and hearty Holiday greetings, we desire for you an abundance of the best things in life, and may the coming year bring health, increased wisdom and happiness.

STELLA HUBBARD. A Leader Among Women of Our Race In the Business World. The subject of this sketch is a woman possessed with a charming personality and her equine a designer of latest styles in millinery would be very difficult to find. Mrs. Hubbard's utmost desire is to please her patrons who come from far and near and shows the same consideration to one who spends a small amount of money with her as she would the person spending a large amount. If you have been skeptical about the values given by a Colored milliner do not hesitate any longer but go to the busiest shop of its kind in the city and you will be ready to agree with me that there is a milliner of the race in the City who believes in giving the best for value received. The time has now come that we should instill race pride in our children by letting them play with Colored dolls. Mrs. Hubbard has a limited supply of real Colored dolls and has a better selection than anyone in the City. The prices are very small. This is the only place at present where Colored dolls may be found already dressed. Her hand made velvet and Ostrich Corsage bouquets, the newest novelties for ladies, are very beautiful and the prices are moderate. Before buying your evening and afternoon gowns see Mrs. Hubbard and she will furnish you just what you need. 1607 "A" E. 18th. Bell phone Clifton 4730.

New York, Dec. 8.—The terrible extent to which lynching is taking hold of the United States is set forth in a special appeal by James Weldon Johnson, executive secretary, N. A. A. P., through the Associated Negro Press. Mr. Johnson says: Two days before Thanksgiving Day a Mississippi mob battered down the doors of a courtroom, seized a prisoner who was being tried at a special term of the court, and dragged him at the end of a rope tied to the rear of an automobile, finally hanging the lifeless body and riddling it with bullets. On Thanksgiving Day a New York newspaper published the following headline: "LYNCH NEGRO BY MISTAKE." — "Georgia Posse Shoots Brother of Man Who Killed White." In Mississippi the sanctity of a courtroom was violated. In Georgia an innocent man was brutally murdered. No one will be punished for participation in these or the fifty other atrocities which have disgraced the United States before the world in 1920. The American people are now given opportunity to end this disgrace. Senator Curtis and Representative Dyer have introduced in Congress a federal anti-lynching bill which provides: 1. For a $10,000 fine to be paid by any county in which a lynching occurs; 2. For prosecution of negligent state and county officers in the United States courts; 3. For trial on charge of murder in a United States Court of all participation in lynchings. May we, through the Associated Negro Press, ask those citizens who want lynching in the United States stopped, to write their senators or representatives urging the enactment of federal anti-lynching legislation? Yours very truly, James Weldon Johnson, Secretary. Greetings. Dr, A. B. Troupe, Dentist and Dr. C.

The Missouri Negro Industrial Commission urges you to consider the following statements of facts, then if you are sincere and true to the interests of the Race, put your faith to the test and act. Every race of man that has made progress that counts and lifts it up, has been the race that believes in meeting and discussing what is best for all the members of the Race and devising ways and means to bring its plans to a successful issue. This is Union and Strength. Too long have we been divided as a group in this great state; divided on mere trifles of leadership, honors of office and differences of opinion. The time has now arrived in the History of the Negroes of Missouri when they must grasp the opportunity to assume the privileges of citizenship and accept its burdens, and, for the purpose of a heart to heart discussion of what is best for the Negroes of Missouri. The Negro Industrial Commission calls upon every Negro man and woman in the State to attend this Conference to be held at Bowling Green, Missouri, on Saturday the first day of January 1921 at eleven o'clock A. M. Come let us reason together. (Signed) J. B. Coleman, Columbia. A. C. Maclin, Hannibal. Joe Haskell, Maysville. Burt Hayden, Kirkwood. N. C. Bruce, Chairman. Robert S. Cobb, Sec'y.

The Sun is always pleased to herald the successful achievements of members of our racial group and especially those who along professional lines in the face of keen opposition have forged resolutely to the front. And it is with pleasure we call attention to the fact that Dr. Martin G. Brookins, one of our native sons who for years has been recognized as one of our most competent physicians, has built up a most extensive practice in the diseases and surgery of the eye, ear, nose and throat. Dr. M. G. Brookins. Dr. Brookins has specialized in the treatment of these particular diseases under one of the most eminent specialists of this city and has recently equipped his office at 1816 Woodland Avenue with every modern convenience and requirement for this special line of work. All of these accomplishments that we relate from time to time on the part of our people is but an incentive to others of the race to strive to climb to the heights. The Sun congratulates Dr. Brookins upon his wonderful and fully deserved success and bids its patrons drop in to his elegant offices and see for themselves the splendid work he is doing.

While walking through the luxuriously appointed lobby of the Wheatley Hotel, who should I see ensconced in one of the big leather chairs but our old time friend W. J. (Billie) Wheaton of San Francisco, Calif. The snow was falling in great flakes and no doubt Billie was thinking of the flowers and the fog, but a "Hello Bill" soon had him up with that genial grin and hearty shake which makes him loved by the boys. Being here on Fraternal business that required both tact and diplomacy, Billie was refusing numerous requests for his society. We went to hear him speak on Sunday night at the A. M. E. church. His subject was "Unity" and he spoke with an eloquence that surprised. We knew he was a wizard with the pen, but never before that he was the equal of his famous brother, J. Frank, on the platform. Grand Exalted Ruler, McMeahen, could not have picked a man more qualified to adjust difficulties and we are sure everything will be right.

Moore, a Negro waiter who was electe d a member of the Missouri house of representatives from St. Louis, Saturday told his Republican colleagues in a session at the Planters hotel that he expected to accept the advice of friends to "sit quietly and look on" during the proceedings of the Fifty-first general assembly at Jefferson City. Moore, whose district includes the "silk stocking" wards in the west end of St. Louis, did not arrive at the hotel until after the representatives had finished their dinner. He was until recently a waiter at the City club here. He was introduced in his regular turn by Lieut. Gov.elect Hiram Lloyd, whose call for the Republican house members to come here to "get acquainted" was answered by only about 25 members outside of St. Louis. There was a generous applause as Moore rose to his feet. "I suppose you fellow representatives are thinking that I would have a bit of stage fright in appearing before you," said Moore. "I am placed in a peculiar, yet a distinguished position by having been the first man of color elected to sit in the Missouri legislature. I was agraid that I might not get here Saturday, but for fear that the meeting would not have the proper coloring, as Mr. Lay has so beautifully put it, I am glad to be with you. (Lay is the representative of Crawford county and during a short speech had referred to the meeting as having the "proper coloring.") "I probably have received more advice than any other representative or representative-elect," continued Moore "I have been advised to sit quietly and look on. I think that it is good advice. "I want to cooperate with you members in seeing the complete program of the Republican party carried out in Missouri. The raising of our educational standards is probably the greatest problem which confronts the general assembly." Tribute From O'Fallon. Rep. Sam F. O'Fallon, of Holt county, who probably will be re-elected speaker of the house, in a speech paid a rather glowing tribute to the Negro member-elect. "I hope the Negro member will not feel out of place because he is the first one to serve with the white members," said O'Fallon. "It is only through the Republican party that he can serve in the Missouri legislature. I am glad that he is here." We will send it. Jeff's. Tuskegee Inst.

Kirby Anderson of Chicago, the Negro Billiard Champion, is here in our City and will give an exhibition Tuesday night at Labor Temple, playing with one of the leading WhiteChampions of our city also he will play a handicap match with Sam Wijcox, the local Negro billiard champion. Much credit should be given to Johnny Jones, George Golden, and Barker & Burk, our local billiard room owners for arranging this exhibition for the BASEBALL REVIEW OF THE PAST SEASON. Negro Baseball League was organized at Kansas City, Mo. Kansas City proved to be the best Negro baseball city in the League. More than 700,000 fans paid admission to the games played by the League. American Giants of Chicago won the pennant. Negro baseball is here to stay. Negro baseball is here. One hundred thousand White and Negro fans attended the Monarch games at Association Park the past season without the least bit of friction. Baseball used to be a barroom game but it is now a social function. Negro teams used to play for a keg of beer, but now they play to $5,000 gates. Did not discover any real Negro umpires the past season. Big League games now playing Negro League teams in Cuba and California. The Kansas City Monarchs played to more local fans than the Kansas City Blues. Rube Foster re-elected as President of the Negro League. Annual Session of the League held at Indianapolis, Ind. The East and West joined hands. Secured such parks as the National League Park at Cincinnati, the Brooklyn National League Park, the Columbus, Ohio, American Association Park and the Philadelphia League Park for next season. Made baseball a safe investment. Made baseball contracts legal. GILMORE'S ALL-STAR TEAM OR THE NEGRO LEAGUE FOR 1920. Rogan, P. Drake, P. Taylor, P. De Moss, 2B. Moore, S. S. Portuando, 3B. J.

Harry Wills, the Negro heavyweight, ranks with such men as Sullivan, Peter Jackson, Jim Jeffries, Jim Corbett, Bob Fitzsimmons and Jack Johnson, and is the only logical contender for the championship now held by Jack Dempsey. Harry can whip anyone that Dempsey can put away, and probably a few others. Jack Johnson, the former Negro heavyweight champion, is now sojourning with his Uncle Sam, out near Leavenworth, Kas. Jack expects to pay us a visit early next summer. Leo Johnson, the Negro lightweight champion, defended hs title against Young Joe Gans here at Kansas City during the Elks' Convention. The contest was a good draw. Kid Norfolk, Panama Joe Gans and Lester Johnson are all top notch Negro mittmen, and only their color keep them down. Bigg Bill Tate, better known as Black Bill, continues to act as the sparring partner of Jack Dempsey. Well, Bill keeps near the championship. Sam Langford fights six days every week and rests the seventh day. Sam also fought in the Spanish-American War. PHOTO 21 SANTEE KCM people of our city.

Arrangements have been made for the finest billiard equipment for this occasion. Each player on this occasion will appear in full dress. Billiards is a great game with the leading White people of this country and billiard tables can be found in the homes of all of the rich. Mr. Anderson informs PROMINENT SPORTS AND ATHLETES WHO HAVE VISITED KANSAS CITY THIS YEAR. Sol Butler and Howard Drew, world famous college athletes. Harry Wills, Negro heavyweight champion. Jack Thompson, Negro heavyweight fighter. Leo Johnson, Negro lightweight champion. Young Joe Gans, Negro lightweight. Kirby Anderson, Negro billiard champion. Andrew Rube Foster, famous Negro baseball leader. Dave Wyatt, dean of Negro sport writers. Jack Johnson, former Negro heavyweight champion. Sam McVey, Negro heavyweight. John Lester Johnson, here with Jack Dempsey. Joe Dunn and Tevan Jones, Chicago live wires. Topeka Jack Johnson, noted fight trainer. Torrenti, the Black Babe Ruth. John Donaldson, the greatest pitcher in the world a few seasons past. C. I. Taylor, Joe Green, Tenny Blunt, John Mathias and Carley Mills, baseball magnates. Leo Patterson, Negro champion of the A. E. F. Local fans will watch with great interest the efforts of Harry St. Clair and Dr. Howard Smith, prominent men of our city who recently bought a franchise in the Negro Baseball League. They are now joint owners of the Columbus, Ohio, club, formerly the Dayton Marcos. They have secured the services of one of the greatest, if not the greatest, baseball leader in the country to manage their club. Sol White, who has been secured to lead the club, was the greatest shortstop in his day, being a former graduate of Wilberforce University, and has played on all of the leading clubs of the country. He was at one time the leader of the famous Giants when Rube Foster was in his prime. At the recent baseball meeting in Indianapolis, Rube Foster stated that he considered Sol White the brains of baseball. St. Clair and Smith should be congratulated on securing such a leader. Harry is known among his friends as the champion loser, and it is predicted that Harry is born to die this coming season. Dr. Smith states that he is going to put a winner in the Ohio city if it takes every old man in the County Home. Harry will soon leave for the Ohio capital city to get things in readiness for the opening of the season. We wish you both luck with your team while you are playing the other teams of the League, but when you come to Kansas City, O you Monarchs. The great Walter Mails, the recent World's Series hero, defeated for the second time by the K. C. Monarchs at Los Angeles. The Kansas City Monarchs, who are playing in the California Winter League under the name of White Socks, defeated Duster Mails the second time in two weeks by the score of 4 to 1. The Socks hopped on Mails' delivery for nine juicy hits. The Cleveland star appeared to have nothing on the ball which the Socks didn't like. Rogan, the great Negro star, was in rare form, holding the All-Star Leaguers to two scattered hits. The lone run made by the All-Stars was put across in the 5th inning by an error. McNair's big bat was responsible for three of the Socks' tallies. In the 3rd inning, af- 10 on the Editor of this page that there is no prejudices in billiards and that he has no trouble in securing games in the leading billiard parlor of this country. He states that he is not satisfied in being the Negro Champion but aspires to be the real Champion of the world. The game has taken on new life since Mr. Anderson has been in our city and from now on billiards is going to be the real sport in our city. Billiards is the greatest indoor sport and is played by millions of people yearly. 18.2 Balk Line is new to the local Negro players and Mr. Anderson will enedavor to explain every angle of the game as he goes along. Efforts are being made to keep Mr. Anderson in our city and if we are ter Fagin had reached first on a fielders' choice, he hit a triple to deep left, scoring Fagin. McNair came home on Carr's double. In the 7th inning Kyle opened the inning by a single to right. Fagin hit one to the same place. McNair sent both men home on a long single to center. Rogan struck out ten of the big league stars, while Malis fanned four of the Negro stars. Hits — All-Stars; 2; Socks; 9. Attendance, 5,000. Never let prejudice interfere with your good judgment. If at any time I am called upon to pass judgment on a fight between a White and Negro fighter, I will try and lay aside prejudice and give the public true facts. A few local sports seem to think that all Harry Wills, the great Negro heavyweight, has to do is to get Jack Dempsey in the ring and all is over. Now, boys, I want Wills to be champion as bad as you do, but to do so is a man's job. Jack Dempsey has been panned by the sports through the country for his bad showing with Bill Brennan last week in New York. Dempsey did all that he was required to do. It was a 15-round contest and he knocked out his opponent in the 12th round. What did you expect him to do, kill his opponent? Brennan is a hard man to whip, and anyone taking Brennan's measurement is a real championship contender. Dempsey has won every fight that he has had in the past two years by a knockout. Dempsey will fight any man that lives, but at this time it would not be wise for him to take on such a tough opponent as Harry Wills until he has disposed of the French champion and collected that $300,000 which goes to the winner. If Dempsey is returned the winner in this fight with the Frenchman, I feel sure that he will fight Wills and the rest of the Negro fighters. Dempsey is one of the gamenst champions that has ever held the title. Yes, he is rather popular with the Negroes. He always employs Negro trainers. TY COBB, THE BULLY, THE CRACKER, TO LEAD THE DETROIT TIGERS. In speaking of Ty Cobb, the Georgia Peach, who was selected this week to manage the Detroit Tigers, several of the local papers spoke of Cobb's fighting ability. Yes, Ty should have been a prize fighter instead of a ball player. The Negroes of this country will never forget his cewardly attack on a poor defenseless Negro chambermaid last year in a Detroit hotel. No, Ty, you have been a great player, one of the greatest in all times, but whatever regard the Negro baseball fan had for you has gone. You not only lost your good Negro friends but hundreds of Whites. As far as we are concerned you will be a failure as leader of the Detroit Tigers. Cobb never would report at the training camp until near the time for the opening of the season. He now states that he will be the first to report this spring. A poor follower is a poor leader. If he would not work for Hugh Jennings, then he should not expect the boys to respect him. Special Christmas program will be rendered by the children of the Sunday School of Ward Chapel Thursday evening, December 23rd. Don't miss this. Everybody welcome. Admission free. he af. successful Kansas City is going to be the real center for Negro billiard players. This is a rare opportunity for the people of our city to witness a real billiard match, and a real Champion. Mr. Anderson is the most popular player in the country and is well met and has made a host of friends in our city. He is accompanied on his trip to our city by his charming wife who aspires to be the lady champion of the world.

MOORE'S Vigorine Kidney, Bladder and Stomach Trouble, Lumbago, Indigestion, Chronic Constipation. Gives New Life and Vigor. Best Proof of this Wonderful Remedy INDIGESTION. Kansas City, Mo., May 10, 1915. D. Moore & Co. Dear Sir: I wish to say to you in regard to your medicine, that it is simply wonderful. Having been bothered with indigestion for some considerable time and after trying everything I knew of, I decided to quit taking medicine. On hearing of your discovery and how wonderful it was, decided to give it a trial and the first dose gave me quick relief and happy to say have not had it since. I hope every person bothered with indigestion will give this medicine a trial. Respectfully, MISS JULIA IVORY, 2104 Vine. D. MOORE & CO. Dear Sir: I can't find words enough to express my thanks for the good Moore's Vigorine has done for me. I was down in my back and had that tired and sluggish feeling and all of my joints seemed to be stiff and with no life, but, the second dose that I took removed all of that and I wouldn't be without a bottle in my house. It makes me feel 10 years younger and I feel like a new man. SANFORD M. PATTERSON. 1624 Cottage Ave. Prepared and Distributed by D. MOORE & CO. 2522 Michigan Avenue Kansas City, Mo.

"THE SMARTER SET" COMING TO AUDITORIUM, WEEK OF JANUARY 9TH. Fresh from its remarkable and successful engagements in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Norfolk, Richmond, Washington, Pittsburgh, Chicago and Cincinnati, "The Smarter Set" headed by the foremost comedians, Salem Tutt Whitney and J.omer Tutt, will come to the Auditorium for their annual engagement starting Sunday night, January 9th, with matinee Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, presenting their latest and biggest success, "Bamboula" a jazzoian operetta, in two acts with ten scenes of beautiful special scency and gorgeous costuming. The story of the play tells of Prof. Lovling, a musical fanatic, who after hearing the first four measures of Bamboula, an ancient African melody, and not knowing from whence it originated, conceives the idea of tracing its origin in order that he prove that the Africans as other people have contributed to the music of the world. The show is brilliantly mounted, while the "bronze beauty" chorus manifestly picked for vivacity and beauty, and above all. Whitney and Tutt, who bring delightful personality, and extraordinary knack of clean comedy with a "kick" to musical comedy, which conspires to make them the shining lights of the stage. Mrs. John R. Fairley of Rockford, Ill., will spend the holidays with her mother, Mrs. Sallie Sherrell of 2602 Highland and other relatives. She is accompanied by her little daughter. The Kansas Industrial and Educational Institute will be able to take care of twelve more young men and women at the beginning of its next session January 5, 1921.

For a great many years the writer possessed one of the most prominent features that characterized the late famous Jack London, that of "wanderlust," though we confess, on a far smaller scale, and as it were, a sort of "pocket edition." However, we "rambled some" while we were at it. During this period of wandering around from city to city we observed many of the many million things there are to be encountered as we journey through this vale of tears and Worl Wars. We have unconsciously and without effort retained a great many of these impressions registered and filed in our storeroom of knowledge. These are classified and labeled, and every once in a while we find ourselves reviewing the parade of these impressionistic facts. Now, all of us have hobbies. Whether we admit it or not does not alter the fact. We have them. Some are lovers of the ponies, cars, cats, dogs, and still others are fanciers of the padded mitts, the ball team and the theatre, while many idolize art and literature. These are hobbies, yet some are loathe to admit their guilt. Candidly, we admit our hobby, if it can be termed such—it is that of "Personality." But personality alone does not arouse us as much as "Personality Plus." Plus, you ask? Yes, just that—but, plus efficiency. Just prior to the late World War we visited a few cities in the state of Iowa and one day while on a shopping tour—we aborh shopping—we entered a small, neat and attractive haberdashery and among the purchases made were collars. Now, there is nothing extraordinary or exciting about the purchase of a collar—we have been guilty of buying severly hundred—but here comes the "Personality-plus." The salesman was a young, serious, yet alert chap, attentive and courteous. Ordinarily he did not seem to outrank other salesmen, but on closer observation we found that every move of hand and body had a meaning of its own; it signified personality, and more, "Plus." This chap had invented a sort of finger protector for handling collars, making it impossible to soil collars while exhibiting them to the patrons. There we found the "plus," thus making Personality Plus Efficiency, a combination hard to beat. Needless to say that this particular establishment soon grew to the largest of its kind in the state. Now, as we wander over our "home town"—Kansas City, Mo—we still register the progress of the trial of the same spirit of personality plus. Recently we breezed into a shoe shining emporium to have our shoes polished, and being still observant we noticed the sign on the window read, "League Enterprise." This immediately claimed our interest, and upon being comfortably seated we began our usual tour of observation in search of "Personality-Plus," our hobby, and it did not take long to discover the "King of Personality-Plus," and then some. A rather large individual held a point of vantage behind the cash counter, hearing all—seeing all. Of course there was nothing or even unusual in regarding a man behind a counter—but wait—he moves, and every movement has a meaning of its own—Personality. Each bootblack possessed something similar to this movement—this movement of ease, grace, without lost effort, unhurriedly, yet with speed. While the boy shined our shoes our mind quickly took in all the impressions, flitted over the continent to other establishments of this particular kind, and as the lad gave our trouser cuffs a slight pull, bespeaking a finished job, we alighted from the stand, paid the cashier, called for a paper, and—oh, say! you should have seen the youngster as he extended the paper to us—it was a revelation in personality-plus. In other words, personality-service-efficiency. Three in one. We shall never forget the movement of his hands! Nor the large individual who beamed at us from behind the counter. He was the center of personality, and the boys counter currents. As we turned to leave the graphonola struck up a popular selection, and to our surprise, bewilderment and later, joy, a corps of shoe shining rags and brushes, skilfully manipulated by as many boys, kept time with the music! Shoes shined to the tune of your favorite selection. Can you beat it? We were, by this time, very much interested in this man who was responsible for this admirable display of efficiency and began inquiry among our friends. We learned that he is a quiet, reserved, though genial sort of fellow; intelligent in an unusual degree; young in age, but old in the service of his people. A thinker and writer of no mean ability who has led a gallant fight for years against all things corrupt that concern the black race. We shall never forget the impression he left with us. A big man; yes, big in many ways. "Personality Plus" is Charles A. Steks. ARTHUR D. WILLIAMS, 1920.

The Community program at Lincoln High School last Sunday afternoon was one of the best ever held there and Prof. J. R. E. Lee is to be highly congratulated for the splendid men and women he brings from time to time before our people. The address by Dr. R. H. Miller, the distinguished pastor of the Independence Boulevard Christian church, was a masterpiece of logic, encouragement and oratory while the singing of the Southern Melody Makers Quarriette has never been excelled. The display of work done in the dress making and millinery department by the girls and in the Trades Buildings by the boys was a revelation to many and the monster audience which crowded the Auditorium to its capacity and overflowed into the halls and stair ways was a living testimonial of earnest appreciation of what has been done for our High School as well as the needs of a larger, modern and up-to-date building to meet the phenomenal growth of this Institution which has grown by leaps and bounds under the management and supervision of Prof. J. R. E. Lee. Give us a new High School. WORK OF THE NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE. "The purposes of the National Urban League are (1) to develop cooperating among the agencies which work among Negroes for social bettermement; (2) to make investigations of conditions as a basis for practical work; (3) to stimulate agencies already to work to extend their fields so to include Negroes; and (4) to train colored social workers * * * who are conversant with the best methods of service and are possessed of the necessary broad vision so as to prosecute the work successfully." In a single year the National Urban League has helped 20,000 Negroes to secure employment; has placed twenty welfare workers to increase the efficiency of Negro labor; has helped cities conduct classes for the training of foremen, as well as the teaching of illiterates; has conducted eleven community houses in the congested districts of large cities; has helped thirty cities carry out "programs for better conditions among Negroes in health, housing, recreation, education, and morals"; has secured the cooperation of two hundred white and colored and civic agencies. For 1521 the League needs $66,000 to carry on its National work. It aims to show the employer group how valuable Negro labor is and to show the Negro workers how efficient and reliable they must be to hold the places they have won in industry. "The League's ultimate aim is to help to spread the spirit of service. * * * It is the hope of the League that the time will come when there will be no privilege or opportunity too good to be extended in our great land to any human being of any creed or of any color." - Southern Workman.

OMEGA PSI PHI ANNUAL CON- CLAVE. The Omega Psi Phi Fraternity will hold its annual convention at the seat of the Delta Chapter, McHarry Medical College and Fiske University, Nashville, Tenn., from December 27, to the 30th inclusive. There will be two executive sessions daily and every night of the convention, save the opening night will be devoted to social activities. On the night of December 27th there will be an open session at which time Dr. Carter G. Woodson, Dean of W. Va., Collegiate University will deliver the principal address. Among other speakers will be Hon. J. C. Napier and Dr. C. V. Roman of Nashville both active elected members, and Dr. E. J. Just of Washington, D. C., who is one of the founders of the fraternity. The National Basileus, Mr. R. G. Robinson of Boston, Mass., will preside over the deliberations of the convention. Representatives will assemble from as far west as the University of California, from the East, Harvard and Yale will be represented and other New England colleges; from the Middle Atlantic States Columbia University, where the fraternity was founded as the first Greek letter fraternity to have been established in a Negro institution of learning; the most noted institutions of middle West including the University of Pittsburg and Chicago University, as well as the leading institutions of the South in which this fraternity was the first of its kind to launch, will send up their quota of delegates. These distinguished representatives of Negro college life will assemble and outline a constructive program for the Negro of this country relative to this era of reconstruction emerging from the aftermath of the great world conflict. The four cardinal principles of the fraternity viz. manhood, perseverance, scholarship, and uplift will form the basis of a proposed national policy.

The writer hereof is averse to making invidious comparisons between whites and Negroes. But his attention has been called to a condition which exists wherein the darker race has been weighed in the balance and found wanting; and if it M. B. PROF. J. DALLAS BOWSER forty-five years a teacher in Missouri and the most scholarly and erudite member of the race in this great West. intends to keep in the front rank of progressives it must pull up on its bootstraps or stand aside while the procession of whites marches by. But to the point: A Negro postman of this city who serves well nigh an equal number of white and Colored patrons has observed much to his regret that a big majority of his white patrons are subscribers to not only some weekly home or race paper but also to from one to several well known magazines; while about all the literature he carries to his Negro patrons is one or both of the Negro papers. Now how can a race whose general reading is confined to a weekly newspaper or two besides one of the daily papers become as generally informed and acquire a vocabulary equal to that of the reader of magazines and books? And it must be admitted that is sadly lacking in a choice of words, or an easy vocabulary, and in ideas as well. Test the young pupils in school of whatever grade. Ask questions. Try to draw them and no replies or answers in monosyllables? One need not stop at the class rooms. Apply the same test to men and women of older growth who have been through the schools in a way. A lamentable poverty of synonyms is noticeable, such words as "nice" and "splendid" often standing for a score of descriptives. Contrast this paucity of ideas and lameness of language with that of the average white child who reads magazines and books. Note the readiness with which the latter responds or takes part in a conversation. It would be well if Colored people should awake to the fact of a race discrimination which is of their own begetting.

May the hallowed spirit of Christmas find place in your plans for the future, lengthening and beautifying your days, so that life will be to you as God has intended it should be to all—a joy and a blessing. A Rising Morale. "Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil." This splendid assurance comes to the Negro in reading the various dispatches reporting the so-called riots in Independence, Kas., last week. The quotation from the twenty-third Psalms accurately sums up just how Negroes feel through the country about these conflicts. It is the growing spirit of the New Negro. The whites, representing contendingly a supremacy and a superiority, said in the present case: "Let's hang him (a Negro, of whom no guilt has been proven) and have it over." But the spirit of the New Negro answers—answers, mind you—with the accumulation of a thousand lynchings now crystallized into determination to say to the proud waves of race hate: "Hitherto shalt thou come, and no further." And so the Independence Negroes said to the whites: "We won't start trouble and won't object if they hang Green if it proved he is guilty, but we want it to be positive that he is guilty and until it is known positively, we are ready to protect him." Good! That's the way for men to talk and act. This is our conception of real Americanism by real Americans. At least this kind of talk and action made the white mob fairly respectful of the dangers involved in mob participation. We have always contended that if Negroes see to it that where they are concerned it becomes dangerous for anyone to participate in a mob, that the practice will cease. There is no sense in these mobs at all. What has become of the oft vaunted "Majesty of Law," anyhow? Has it flown so far as the Negro is to receive justice? Every unrepelled mob helps to make the majesty of law a glittering mockery, and pushes the country back down the scale of civilization. However, we should say that the authorities in the present case acted with reasonable firmness and dispatch. Of course we have to accept the other fellow's version for this. As usual, the Kansas City Star becomes the artful mob leader. Whenever you notice an article in the Star about some inter-racial dissension, then look for inflammatory dangerous reading matter under the anonymous signature of "By a Staff Correspondent." The policy of the paper, no doubt, is to select the most consummate "Negro Hater" scribbler of the staff to "cover" the affair. Of course the writer is cautioned to use the subtle expressions and to be decent but nevertheless he is expected to deliver the goods. Take this from Friday's Star relative to the Independence affair: "MOB ONLY AWAITS A LEADER" The above was used as a header and is just as subtly inflammatory as if it read: "Mob should get a leader and lynch the Negro." But the "courageous" Star will not trust wholly to a broad hint, it becomes more specific in the narration, hence: "A mob of three hundred determined (lawless) men, their indignation (deviltry) kindled to a white heat, due to the killing of R. R. Whaon, (due to their distress of law) surrounds the city jail here this morning awaiting only a leader or a spark to unleash its fury, (awaiting only courage and a chance for a thousand to "get" one Negro without getting hurt themselves.) The words in parenthesis are ours and need no explanation. The Star's report of the identification of "Green" is a masterpiece of journalistic melodrama, it is advanced as conclusive "evidence" that "that's the man." The Journal was decent about the matter, while the Post was signally fair. Whatever may be the motive of this paper we appreciate the change of this daily from a once pronounced rabidly anti-Negro paper into areason- Wednesday, December 29th ROBT.

Self respect is one of the first essentials of manhood. We notice that a well known printer has moved to the Kansas side. It is said of him that he has established a reputation for printing foreign languages. We suspected something of his ability when reading some of his printed English. FROM THE LIVE WIRE. Note—The following was written especially for the Eighteenth Streeter who drifts in the old place: What did you do with your summer's change. People of the other race marvel at our apparent ability to make it under such extremely difficult conditions as now exist. They reason that if so many of them go down with their splendid opportunities that the Negro is bound to go with his meager portion. But is this true? We think not. The Negro does not go down as much as they might imagine. The fact is, the laws of Economy work just the same for the Negro as they do for the white man. And many Negroes are learning to follow the dictates of these laws. They are learning to keep bank accounts as well as jobs; to buy property, conduct businesses and, above all, to buy coal in the winter time instead of gasoline! That is—some, not all. This fact leads us to repeat the above question: What About Your Summer's Change. The text: "Neither will I answer him with your speeches." Job, 22nd. Chapter, 11th Verse. All Bible readers are more or less familiar with the striking story of Job. However, we will relate this much which will have a particular bearing upon the argument that we will offer. Job was suffering from a certain malady. Three friends came by to console him. Each pointed out the philosophy of life as he understood it. What they said was brilliant, not doubt, but was evidently unsatisfactory to Job, to the genius or logic, to a young man named Elhu, who stood by, and lastly, it was unsatisfactory to God, himself. This we are told in the concluding chapter of the book. God denounced Eliphaz and his "two friends." Now while the three friends of Job failed to answer him we are led to conclude that the young man Elhu was more successful. A close observant discovers just why his presentation was acceptable—because he stated the true character of his Maker. In doing this he disdained to use the language of the three. "I will not answer him with your speeches," he exclaims. But he rather proceeds to state the real character of God as is expressed in nature, as in the beautiful and glorious solar system which embraces the world of worlds, as we know them and as we can not conceive them in their immensities now but may in time to come. The young man reaching the climax of his speech, exclaims: "Oh Job, stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God." We stand today centuries and centuries after the incident just related of an ancient long ago. Humanity has traveled from the epoch of Job to the epoch of Christ, and we are still drifting upon the sea of time. If from the first there was anything lacking in the character of God from our conceptive view, surely the Christ idea was to bring the complement of it all! Back yonder the philosophies of the day savored of the stern law of compensation, "Vengance is mine, saith the Lord, I will repay." With the new dispensation is disclosed that "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son," and so on so. Of this we the people of the ending of the nineteen hundredth year of the birth of this idea make much fuss, in our way, of its significance. This old world, growing more and more hypocritical, is saying to itself on this Christmas Day: "I have progressed, I am progressing.

Still, the Christmas anthem will swell to the sky. The trained choir will sing it, the preached will preach t. the air is rife with appreciation of the man child who was this day born, and whose name is Jesus. But I ask you, World, thy dreamy eyed old world, in all honesty and frankness: "How is it with thee?" Are you not sick? Are you right? Are you not suffering with woe? Wit plagues, sores, maladies? and are you not surfetted with the rank philos- phies of the 'wise three' who would console the world with the 'I', 'Ands', and 'Buts' of the day? I think so, and I think that you will acknowledge if" A WORLDLY WISE RACE. Yes, the world is sick today, sick with the philosophes of the wise after the order of Jom's three friends. It is the great philosophes of the white world. I say white because the world is owned by the whites. I sup pose that so iron-clad are their claims to the possession of the lands that the Lord himself, may not claim an equity! Still they do say some times that it is "God's Country," but the very next day when some black person sticks his head too far around the corner the white possessor of the land yells at him: "This Is a White Man's Country!" All the Good is white, and all white is good is the philosophy of the world today. The supremacy and superiority of white is the shrill cry of the age. The philosophy even in its appreciation of the Christ use language and speeches calculated to give special glory unto the white race. The darker races must say amen to this or forever be antagonized. They are the victims of the most poisonous philosophy of the modern world—Prejadice! And the worldly wise philosophers of the day offer this man of woe and suffering a philosophy that the sufferer is bound to reject, and God certainly won't have it! Here are some of the formulations of worldly philosophy that have found their way even into the reputed church of Christ, we mean the congregation, the people who sing of peace on earth and good will toward men. "We believe that Colored people would rather be to themselves." "This section for Colored." "All are Welcome." (Of course there are exceptions, that's understood.) "Colored people segregated themselves by sitting down with each other and we thought that was what they wanted." (This last comes from the church crowd whom I personally, thought were the most advanced religiously in the world, which leads me to exclaim bitterly with Mark Anthony—"So are they all Honorable men!" I tell you I want to know God, I want to be free, I want to know the Truth. But how shall I address myself unto my Maker? How shall I learn? Who will teach me what to say? What language will I use, what speeches will I make?—I cannot accept the white man's religion, and Neither Will I Use His Speech! CHAS. A. STARKS. Carmel Nut Ice Cream at Jeff's. Do You Need Money?
