The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People thru its Board of Directors, has officially endorsed the nomination of Frederick Douglass to the electors who are to decide upon candidates for the Hall of Fame of New York University. The Association summarizes the qualifications of Douglass as follows: Frederick Douglass was born a slave. He achieved his own freedom and education and became a notable public character. He served as a living example of the injustice of slavery and as such gave inpetus to the anti-slavery movement. He was a great and effective leader of the Abolitionists and marshalled the free Negroes as their helpers. He was the prime mover in recruiting Negro troops for the war when the nation doubted their worth and did not want them and when the Negroes persisted in offering their service. He became the greatest and most inspiring leader of the million of freed men and represented them with dignity and success. He was until his death interested in all forward movements, and was an early advocate of woman suffrage. He founded a family which still lives and serves, one grandson being a violinist of repute. He was in the great word of the poet "the noblest slave that ever God set free" Grandma Fountaine Celebrated Her 122d Birthday, Friday, May 7th.

Ferguson, president of the Newport News Ship building and Dry Dock Co., who is also a trustee of Hampton University, declared in a recent speech here, "that colored labor is remarkably like any other kind of labor if given sympathetic and honest treatment. It saves its money in about the same proportion as other people. The difference in halts between the races as to thrift is not nearly so great as you are sometimes told. The great advantage of the colored men is their desire to own a piece of ground. Those who own ground make for the safety of our institutions and our Republic. Leaders you should be. Leaders you will be. Remember you must lead, because you have acquired and pursued the art of thinking. It is important to lead in the art of working and in the art of doing, in industry, and promptness, and in standing by the job and being steadfast—not being put aside by little difficulties. I have the greatest confidence in the future of the colored race." An Appeal for a Worthy Cause Orange, N. J., May 14. - Rev. Chas. T. Walkley, rector of the Grace Episcopal Church, has issued an appeal in behalf of St. Paul's Normal and Industrial School. For thirty eight years, Rev. J. S. Russell founder and head of the school, and archedeacon for colored work in the diocese, has supervised its instruction and work and served the community. The school trains its students of both sexes along moral and religious lines and in the principles of citizenship. A Mild Sensation, But Truth Revealed New York, N. Y. May 14.—A young colored ex-officer of the A. E. F., created a mild sensation by a letter that appeared in the Evening Telegram. His name is withheld from publication. The letter reads: "A meeting held at Atlantic City recently brings my attention to certain marks by the United States Chamber of Commerce which is a slur on the United States Uniform. It was said former colored soldiers from the South getting a bonus would cause them to go into idleness. I think the colored soldiers showed his wares. I believe any man with an honorable discharge from service, regardless of color or rank, should be given a bonus. It's a well and good to hear men sitting at tables, discussing matters. Where were they? In service are at home reading about our brave boys? Now they fear they might be taxed a few dollars which they made during war times. Any one that begrudges any former service man the bonus is a poor Ameri can." An Enjoyable Social Affair Last Thursday night was a night of pleasure and happiness, when the Rex Club tried itself. All who attended the entertainment given at the Masonic Hall were compelled to enjoy themselves, for it was the swellest entertainment ever given in our city. The hinges of success of the entertainment were enthralled around Mr. J. W. Wilson, formerly of California and Mr. Robert Johnson of this city. Ignorance Knows no Color And Is No Respector of Race In a letter to Senator Reverdy Johnson, dated April 14, 1865, President Millard Fillmore expresses profound apprehension that a dreadful "race problem" was impending. "What is to be done with the 4,000,000 of ignorant, helpless blacks?" he asked. "I suppose a large portion of them are wholly incapable of providing for themselves, and too indolent, without compulsion to make effort. Are they to fill our poor houses as paupers or our penitentiaries as criminals?" All of which goes to show that Mr. Fillmore was woefully ignorant of the African" character, even as a slave. But aside from that fact his letter proves that he was almost criminally ignorant of the impelling economic forces which had been at work—in the person of the slave—making it possible for the American Experiment to get on its social and economic feet. It is true that a considerable number among us are too lazy to work; and it is also true that too many of us help fill the penitentiaries. But the general charge that we are indolent and criminal is stated without a due regard for the very important economic, social and industrial parts we have played in the life of the Republic. Anyhow, we can console ourselves with the fact that ignorance has no color, and apparently has a deep rooted contempt for race. Asheville, N. C., May 14. The colored waiter is coming into fashion again in this city Colored waiters are now being used in the leading restaurants being the first to return to their use. An interesting phase of the situation is that the white waiters are not trying to break away from the colored men, but are working side by side with them. If the experiment proves a success other cafes in the city will adopt the plan, it is said Where the Color Line Was Forgotten Rochester, N. Y., May 14, - In an address delivered before the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Edna Cook, a Secretary of the Y W C. A., said that the work among colored women was being made a big success by her organization. From a beginning of nine paid workers the Association is now employing 125.

The colored girls and their guests were dressed so becomingly and danced so well that their color was forgotten. Colored Women Fight H C. L. Greensboro, N. C., May 14.

Colored teachers are outstripping white teachers in this state. At least, that is the conclusion reached by Dr. N. R. Baker, a county superintendent who lives in this city. Dr. Baker has disclosed the fact that there were eighty white teachers and one hundred colored teachers who stood for the recent examinations. "I wonder," said the Doctor, "if the white people know that there is more interest being shown among the colored people in school work than there is among the whites. This condition, continues the Doctor, "cannot continue without danger to our civilization. The colored race is furnishing all the teachers needed for themselves and are improving their school work steadily. The whites are neglecting themselves in this particular." Industrial Home for Negro Girls Wilmington, Del, May-An Industrial Home for Colored Girls will be established in this city by the local Colored Women's Clubs.

In the course of a long speech that Mr. Lucas said in part: "We want a chance to do a man's job in a man's way. The future of the Negro members of the Methodist Church lies either in or out of that church. If we are to stay in, give us our rights; if we are to get out, it is our duty all the more to let us learn how to walk alone. There is gravitation towards unity among all the Negro churches. They may teach you how to go about it. It may be necessary for us to go to a racial Methodist Church in order to get our rights. We want our own bishops because we have a legitimate right to them." The motion was referred to the committee on Episcopacy. WICHITA, KANSAS Office 'Phone: Mkt. 2999. Residence 'Phone Mkt. 1665, 501 N. Water St. James A. Spears, ATTORNEY-AT-LAW 507 N.

Z 'Phone 399 CITY CHURCHES' NOTES New Hope Baptist A warning note was sounded in Sunday-school, as we realized the result of sin, by reading the story of Elli's wicked sons. Parents who are too indulgent should read and take head. At 11:00 a. m., Dr. E. T. Fishback, our minister taking for a text, Ps. VIII; 8. Subject: "Contact and Communion of the Resources of the Church for the good accomplishment of life's task," preached an interesting, well prepared, spiritual sermon. No attempt to reproduce the entire sermon is made, a few points follow: "All things are yours," as Paul said, all things are yours, and ye are Christ's and Christ is God's. Every local Church has for the object the complete establishment of the Kingdom of Christ in the hearts of believers and in all the world. Much stress has been placed on the long white robe and the starry crown, more stress should be placed upon 'Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.' Be glad to gain men one by one. Rejoice in tribulation. They spat upon Christ and derided Him, what will they do to you and me? See Him on the cross when the sun refused to shine. Hear Him cry, 'My Godl My Godl why hast Thou forsaken me!' Hear His last cry, 'It is finished.' Christ saw the end from the beginning. He saw the great world-task completed. We see in part—but He sees and knows it all. Do we despair and say we can not bring the King back? What a task is ours to teach all nations in this war-stricken world! Teaching them to observe all things that He has commanded in the task. When the gospel has been preached to all nations, then will the end come. We should not simply come in contact with our Father our brethren(all men,) and the great resources that are ours, but a great communion is our privilege. Oh that we may realize our services! We have not sung the songs, nor prayed the prayers it is possible for us to sing and pray. Since the war, multimillionaires have sprung up, as it were—There is more money in America than ever. 'The earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof.' We do not know our physical strength—when a crisis arises we are able to do what we believed was impossible. We have had contact with great resources, but have we had communion? Read Matt. VII. Let us not worry so much about the golden shoes. Do your duty here, live right; He will see that you receive your reward." Do you realize that the B. Y. P. U. is doing much good among the young and old? The meeting held last Sunday evening was full of life and "Forward unward" is the motto. At 8:00 o'clock our minister delivered another good sermon from this text—Rom. VII;II. Subject: "The significance of baptism." At the close of this excellent sermon the candidates for baptism were immersed. Last Friday night, "An Hour in Africa," from "The lure of Africa," which the women of our Missionary Society are studying, was presented by a group of High School pupils. To say they did well is to put it mildly. They covered themselves with glory. We are proud of them. The many friends of Mrs. M. I. Brandon will be glad to hear that she is much better. Miss Inola Donnard does not improve as rapidly as her friends desire. Mrs. Aria Tittington became ill last Friday night. She is somewhat better, but is still confined to her Mrs. Rachel Martin is on the sick list. Calvary Baptist Church. Sunday was a very encouraging day for those who attended Sunday School. Sunday School was an enjoyable one, "Ell, and His Sons." At 10:30 the Sunday School went out to the front of the Church to have a picture of the School made. At 11:00 a. m., the Pastor, Rev. S. B. Butler preached a very good sermon, using as a subject, "The Devil going about seeking whom he may devour." Let us try to keep out of the way of the Devil, and not give him a chance to devour us. At 7:00 p. m., the President, Mrs. Carrie Anderson opened the B. Y. P. U., and the Teachers took charge of their classes and discussed the lesson, "God's Gift." At 8:00 p. m., after the Devotional Services, Mother Clark made a splendid talk on Mother, and Mothers' Day. The Pastor realizing there are some who come to Church, who do not like to go away without spiritual food, preached a short sermon from "The Ten Virgins." Special numbers by the Choir closed a successful day at Calvary Wm. H. Taft Pays Tribute to Booker T. Washington Tuskegee, Ala., May 14. -The Fourth Annual Founder's Day Exercises were held Tuesday, April 27th. The outstanding 'easure of the exercises was the address by Ex-President William H. Taft, who said in part, "Founder's Day at Tuskegee should be as important in the annals of the American Negro as Washington's Birthday is to all Americans As George Washington's birth, life and acts are valuable as an inspiration and example to all his countrymen, so should be the life and achievements of Booker T. Washington by the men of his race." "Booker T. Washington's longing for an education, his efforts to get books, his yearning to go to Hampton, the privations he had to undergo to achieve his purpose, should be household stories in the families of those whom I am addressing and of every family, white or black. "The general progress made in the South of the Negro Race under the the inspiration and leadership of the Tuskegee spirit in these days of radical theories, in which the dignity of labor and it's usefulness as the basis of character and education are ignored, in these days when men seem to be seeking a life of reward without work, when loyalty to the job is minimized and the only object seems greater pay and less service, the truth that Booker T. Washington taught and exemplified in his own life and which he induced his people to believe and act upon in the wonderful advance which they have made, it is important to uphold for the benefit of our whole community. Such truths and those alone can save us from anarchy and Bolshevism." Four thousand heard the address of Ex-President Taft, Principal, Morton expressed his appreciation of, as well as elation over the interest which the people of this section are showing in the activities of the Institution. Asheville, N. C., May 14. The colored churches and societies of the city have organized a Colored Old Folks and Juvenile Home Society. They are now conducting an active campaign for funds for the movement. E. W. Pearson, the chairman of the committee has an option on a large track of land for the home.

MOORE, Assistant Editor. Rest your tongue and perhaps your mind will get time to think about something worth saying. Back up your University Diploma with common sense instead of common conceit. The war is over but rent day comes just as frequently as it did in war times. Some stones of life should not only be screened, they should be covered. What a pity there is an end to a perfect day. Things done by halves never bring many quarters. That time you are using to talk about and ruin your neighbor, use it on your yards and houses and you won't have to pay a fine. There is a nerve in the Negro in Arkansas that has not been located by the doctors nor has the Negro in any other state found that he possessed it, i.e. to come out for "Candidate for Governor." Well, there is one thing certain about Negroes, they will catch anything, so listen for the location of the same nerve in other states. SOCIETY ANI Rev. E. T. Fishback tranract ed business with the firm. Mon- day. Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Neely of Blaine Avenue entertained Sunday with a splendid "Mother's Day" dinner. The invited guests were Mesdames Mary Parks, Malinda Howard, Mary Griggs and Virginia Covington. The settings for and the dinner itself were as near perfection as possible and was a highly enjoyed as well as memorial event. As usual, Mr. and Mrs. Neely proved themselves ideal host and hostess. We were glad to have Profs. Countee and Jackson call to see us Thursday morning. Prof. Countee left us a job. They are from Kansas City, Mo., leaders of the Jubilee singers. Atty. Jas. A. Spears transacted business with us one afternoon. Mrs. B. B. Smith has returned home from an extended visit with friends in Kansas City, and Oklahoma. Mrs. Celia Long who has been visiting in Omaha, Neb., returned home Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Jones made a trip to Newton, Sunday. Mrs. Robt. Hill is visiting in Newton. Mrs. Henrietta Harper, D. M. N. G. of the Household of Ruth, made her annual visit with the Household of Ruth, Wednesday evening of last week. A reception was tendered her at the home of Mrs. Chas. Childs on Wednesday evening, by the ladies of the Lodge. Mrs. Geo. Noble is at home again after an absence of several months visit, in Nashville, Tenn. The G. L. A. Club held their meetings on last Tuesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Ida MEMBER OF BID ASSOCIATION MILKO PRESS FIRST IN SERVICE Entered on second-class matter June 12th 1919 at the Post Office at Wikhila, Kane., under the Act of March 3, 1879.

This is a fact, a true fact whether in church or state. We think like Dr. Lucas 350,000 members of the African Methodist Church are too much for white Bishops, especially when they have been free from the prejudice side-stepping of the white Bishop from infancy. They are thinking people now and can stand more reasoning hand dictating. This day serves as a day of rejoicing shared between children and teachers as it is the May Day School Celebration; children with their bodies arrayed in their "Sunday-go-to-Meeting Clothes, their minds from the care of books and their spirits uplifted to know that they have a chance to contest against their mates for the compliments of comrades and teachers; and to make glad the hearts of their parents. Many parents were present at the different schools to watch with interest the move of their children and to establish more faith in them B. Bates and Mrs. C. Tillman as hostesses. The arranged program for the afternoon: Classification of plays of Shakspeare. Mrs. F. O. Miller, Musical selection, Current events. Needle work. After enjoying the luncheon served they adjourned to meet next week with Mesdames Ida Gravelly and M Letcher as hostesses at the home of Mrs. Gravelly. Just as we were about to go to press Mesdames Sadie Thomas, Ruby Turner, Adia Neely came by, looked us over, and were impressed with our work. Business brought Mrs. Milton Perry and her little daughter, Eugenia, to see us Fridry after noon. Rev. J. Reeves of Eldorado, in company with his sister-in-law, Mrs. Baily, and her little son, were welcomed guests in The Star Office, Wednesday. Mrs. Baily was returning from Caldwell, to her home, Eldorad o Rev. Reeves was enroute to Great Bend, to attend the Southwestern District Executive Board Meeting. Mr. Wm. Wooten, the baggageman, came to see us Monday, on business. Mrs. V. M Sims, after spending several weeks in Lynchburg, Va., has returned home, much improved to the delight of all. Mr. M. L. Livingston of 913 N. Ohio, who is now in the upholsting business, was a business caller Tuesday. Georgia Negro Has Valuable Invention A colored man of Forsyth, Ga., has invented a trap which successfully catches the boll weevil. This is a splendid achievement. Now, if he will turn his inventive genius to the production of a contrivance that will painfully entrap the lynching weevil, I imagine I could be happy for ten consecutive minutes. Harvard And Yale Professors on Howard Board of Washington, D. C.—Two distinguished educators of more than national reputation, Dr. Albert Bushnell Hart Eaton, Professor of the Science of Government in Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Dr. Chas. R. Brown, Dean of the School of Theology, Yale University, New Haven Conn., have been elected to membership upon the Board of Trustees of Howard University. Thus two of the oldest and most famous of American educational institutions become linked in interest and sympathy with the "Greater Howard" re-construction movement. Dr. Hart was present at the inauguration of Dr. Rurkee as President of Howard University and delivered one of the notable addresses upon that occasion. Dean Brown attended the Annual Convocation recently held at Howard and spoke twice to interested groups of educators gathered from all parts of the country, and to the officers, teachers and students of the University. These splendid additions to the Board of Trustees together with the recent nomination of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt of Oyster Bay, New York, indicate that Howard is indeed adding to her already strong Board of Trustees a group of dynamic forces to help her establish her claim to recognition as a university truly rational. Howard Assisting U. S. Treasury Thrift Movement. Mr. William Mather Lewis, Director of the War Savings Stamps Organization of the U. S. Treasury Department, and Mrs. Charlotte Eldridge, Field Director of the District of Columbia War Savings Stamps Organization, addressed the officers, teachers, and students of Howard University recently, bringing to their attention the significance of the Thrift Movement which has been put under way by the U. S. Treasury Department in all parts of the country. A headquarters office has been established at the University and students are urged to purchase stamps regularly, thereby aiding in a movement which is of such great importance to individuals and to the country as well. Sabbatical Leave Granted Howard University Instructors. Sabbatical leave has been granted by the Trustees of Howard University to four of its teachers during the school term 1920-21. Prof. Chas. H. Wesley of the Department of History has been awarded an Austin Teacher's Scholarship in Harvard University, and will study for the Ph. D. degree next year. Professor Martha MacLear of the School of Education is planning to study at Columbia University, being registered for the degree of Ph. D. Miss MacLear's study will be the "History of Education." She will also do some work in Sociology. Professor Thomas W. Turner, Acting Dean of the School of Education and Professor of Applied Biology, will continue research in Vegetable Physiology at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York. This particular line of research has large agricultural significance, and for this reason the United States Department has given him ample facilities in the last few years for carrying on investigation in its laboratories. Also because of the important bearing which these investigations have in the field of agriculture, the Department has sent him to the Northern Maine Experimental Laboratory; wher better facilities were offered for carrying on his in connection with the serility of the white potato. Professor Turner will give attention, while at Cornell next year, also to "Educational," particularly "Agricultural Education." Professor Geo. W. Hines, Assistant Professor in the School of Commerce and Finance, will attend the University of Washington at Seattle. His major work will be in Corporation Finance, while he will also take certain studies in Accounting and Business organization. The University Trustees have generously voted a substantial portion of the yearly salaries received by these Professors, along with the year's absence. WHAT NEXT? The worm is beginning to turn. The Negroes of Arkansas have nominated one of their numbers for governor. But the most stupendously criminal feature of their actions lies in the fact that they nominated their man because they resented the treatment they had received at the hands of white men. Truly this is a wonderful world we live in. Pretty soon, if we don't watch out, the Negro will be strutting up and down the highways filled with the notion that he knows what it is to be respectable. Then look out! He will be nominating men for the Presidency. Womanhood the Same Regardless of Race, Creed or Color The Chicago Tribune recalls that in May, 1918, a ghastly crime was committed by Negro soldiers at Camp Grant against a white woman. All too true. But why, "White?" Why not Woman? I am calling attention to this contemptible piece of narrow pettiness on the part of the World's Greatest, because, "Woman" is the question at issue and not "white or black." Rape is a horrible crime whether it is committed by a white or black fiend. Death is none too good for this class of criminal. American Womanhood without regard to race, creed or color, is the sacred object that must be preserved at all hazards. I make no argument that the soldiers who were guilty of a heinous crime by a jury of their peers should not meet with the death penalty. I simply call to the notice of any who are to listen, that a woman is a woman, whether she be white or black. For a "great newspaper," The Chicago Tribune certainly does some very small things.
