THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE THE HOPE OF FRANCE-- THE FRENCH BLACKS By William Pickens, New York, N. Y. Africa has been the refuge for vidential strong point and it is good men and good principles more than an accident that ever since the angel told the faith-great black people have been er and the mother to take the closely allied with your recent child and "flee into Egypt." O interests and your destiny. Vol. XIII No. 7 Africa has been the refuge for good men and good principles ever since the angel told the father and the mother to take the child and 'flee into Egypt." O Men of France the sole security of your future is in a close and closer alliance with your blacks in Africa. It is your best hope for military prestige, and perhaps for economic existence, and possibly of life-blood itself. It is more than an accident of history that men saved you in the dangerous day from Teutonic arrogance and barbarism. It was a dispensation of the Providence who shapes our ends- The white world is going to desert you, to be sure, you are of its color and flash of its genius and spirit. You are the last liberal spirit left in the white world today. More than English, German or American. You still feel that you are men among men in the world. The dominant feeling among most other whites is that they are men among brutes and half brutes. Your liberalism is your pro- Hutchinson, Kansas. Yesterday—A Dutch-man of war brought to he coast of Virginia twenty slaves and sold them in exchange for provision there, time and time again these vessels brought to America more human beings that were to be used in playing an important part in making America what it is today: "The land of the free and the brave." America the originator of Democracy. Yesterday my Anglo Saxon brother as a white man profited by the unpaid labor of the Negro. Then set him adrift, unguided, ragged, unlettered, naught but the canopy of Heaven for his shelter.—Yesterday my American brother set adrift 2 million of black souls ignorant of the meaning of citizenship, and to be further exploited by politicians, 'twas only yesterday that the first blood shed for American independence, was that of a black man. It was only yesterday that a black man gave to mad Anthony Wayne, valuable service and information in taking Stony Point, Oh yesterday, the youth of the Southl crossed swords over the prostrate form of the black man whose blood has fertilized the soil from which they are now being driven back by hellious hordes of degenerates, who today are forming the basis of all racial struggles, and from their own publications are putting in the most base kind of murderers, who in time will destroy their own One of the examples was the nine hour battle at Omaha, Neb., when $1,000,000 damage was done to the court house, and $50,000 worth of ammunition was seized, 121 prisoners huddled on the top of the jail, fired upon, and the blackest disgrace of the hour, threatening to hang the Mayor, who stood for law and order. Yesterday—black laws were placed upon the statute books of our own America. Yesterday can you recall the horror of the East St. Louis Plot? The conflict of races in Chicago, the Washington disgrace! And now comes from the press that Denver too, has her fair mantle besmirched with this most ignorant and hypocritical question of the hour, that was yesterday's work and plans o the Tillman and Vardaman type of producers in words thoughts and deeds of rendezvous. But today the chain that holds the impressed is fastened by justice to the hand of the Superior Being who is watching the destiny of 12 million American Negroes, who only form ost-tenth of the population, yet they Merchants Who Advertise in a Race Paper, Dcsire Your Patronage—Give Them a Trial. You alnoeamng white nations sneem to ben a to the realizati n that God made the world of all colors, or that he would not have made all colors of men of the world It is true that the colored race originated civilization: that is, that they HAPPENED to be the first people civilized. But that does not give them any better title to civilization than it gives you and the German, - a'tho your ancestors and the ancestors of Ka'sr Will e'm were extraordina rily late in acopting civilization is the joint product of all the race of Africa, Asia and Europe; who contribute to it. When the German was a wild thingh civiliza ion was being nursed in Africa. A close alliance with you African blacks, mighty in their fecundity endurance, is your one best bet for future life and power. gave to the late World War fifteen per cent in soldiers, who are denied in the dear old U. S. A., the first principles of freedom, yet they went that others might enjoy freedom. Today, though in some respect, the cloud seems black, yet the darkest hours are just before dawn, and while the only hobby that is set up in glaring headlines is "Social Equality," or intermarriage, tha's all bosh, and I think that does not worry half so much as economic and political equality. Note the rise the eNegro has had in jut 55 years or freedom, has had in just 55 years of freedom, and you will see where and what causes the great unrest among the one-eyed Tillmanites and the near-tighted Vardamanites, they and all their clans have been weighed in the balances and found wanting and are digging their own graves, sounding their own death knells, and sooner or later will be in hell, leaving room here on earth for the descendants of Lincoln, Webster, Harriet Beecher Stowe, John Brown and all other broad minded white Americans who are doings in reality to exemplify the "The fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man." Rev. J. W. Wilson, pastor of St. James Baptist Church, Kansas City, Mo., preached two very instructive and timely sermons Sunday. We were pleased to have Rev.

A big parade of the society preceded the services at the church. and true and willing to do what she could for the upbuilding of the Church and Sunday School. She was a builder instead of a worker, her life should be an example for us who are left behind. Death is sure to come, so we should work faithfully while we live in order to receive a reward at the end. We will meet with many trials, and set backs, but if we should work but the harder. It has been said: Man's work is from sun to sun, but woman's work is never done." The truth of this old adage has brought sorrow to many women's hearts. This is entirely untrue, no work is ever finished, one portion may be finished or laid aside. Work is like a cultivated plant, the more one does to it, the bigger it grows. When work is finished life is ended, for work is the beneficent saviour of mankind, given to us to fill our days with profit and pleasure, so we see that work is not finished until death. Sister Ethel Lee's life work is ended, she has crossed the swelling tide. We regret the loss of our dear one so much, but it seems that the sweetest flower is crushed before it gives its sweetest perfume. We hope that our loss is Heaven's gain. In 1837 Mrs. Ethel Lee Ashford was born, in April 1920, out of this world she had to go. She proved to be a true and faithful girl while here on earth. Now in the earth of our Lord her peaceful body lies. Sleep on Sister Ethel Lee, in that blessed home where we hope to meet. Emma Jane Alston. ARE YOU GOING?

Oppressed People Not Provided For in the League of Nations Paris, France, June. 11. - A news dispatch from Geneva Switzerland has just been received here reporting the organization of the Gold Cross Society. The society has been organized for the purpose of defending the rights of native or subject people before the League of nations and the court of public opinion. As constituted at Present, it is contended that the proposed League gives no voice to subject people who comprise a large part of the world's population Anti-slavery is the war cry of the "Gold Cross" advocate and the plan of operation is to advance measures to protect natives and subject groups against the abuses by white conquerors, using the Lutch or Swiss representatives in the League as special attorneys of the society.

The theory of the anti-Slavery leaders is that governmental action is ineffective and that only private vigilance can keep down the increasing prevalence of the various forms of slavery which continue to appear in all sections of the world. It is also declared by the leaders in the new movement that the League of Nations' code of principles which includes the pronouncement that natives constitute a "sacred trust" applies only to the colonies taken from Germany, apparently. The Gold Cross Society intends to expose all injuscice to oppressed people without discrimination. The British, French, German, Swiss Italian, Peruvian, Australian, Portuguese and Bolivian antislavery organizations have joined the new League. An invitation has been extended to the United States to enter the new movement, possibly thru an organization of the churches if the government cannot be induced to join. Death End Quarrel Philad-Iphla, Pa; June. Charles Walker, a colored boy of 17, shot and killed two whites men in front of a store on North Fenth Street, as the result of a square over a bill of $12. which Walker is said to have owed Samuel Lakin, a grocer. The slayer fled after the shooting but was captured in the kitchen of his home by a policeman who had chased him to the house. Walker surrendered without a struggle but claimed he shot Lakin and the other man in self defense. CITY CHURCHES' NOTES ```markdown ``` Calvary Baptist Sunday morning found teachers and pupils in their classes at 9:30. "Saul's failure," was studied. The Sunday School will render a Children's Day Program next Sunday. Sunday morning, the services were short on account of the rally. However the service was enjoyed by all. The text was found I Kings, 18:21. "Elliah's appeal to the people for the true God." Sunday night a short sermon was preached by the pastor, Rev. S. B. Butler, using for his text: I Cor. 9:23, "And this I do for the Gospel's sake, that I might be partaker, thereof with you. The rally continued and total collection for Sunday was more than $1700.00. When all of the money is collected the returns will pass the $2000.00 mark. The reception at the Church on Monday night was a success and was enjoyed by everyone present. The principal speaker of the evening was: Dr. Brodie, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, who made a very interesting talk. The program also consisted of other home talents. Community C. M. E. Corner of 11th and Mosley Sts.

Let all Wichitans see to it that the meeting is a success. Our watchword is "We rise by helping others." H. H. EDMOND. Pastor. New Hope Baptist "Saul's failure," the general theme last Sunday in Sunday School, sobered thoughtful ones enough to make them say "I am not desirous of rejecting Jehovah." Men anxious to receive Bible lesson in a Men's Bible Class should come to New Hope. The class is so interested in the lesson, time for adjournment is never welcome. Mr. J. R. Johnson is the well-prepared instructor. We have a fine Sunday-school. New scholars and visitors are always gladly received. Prompt and regular attendance should observed by all. At eleven o'clock Sunday morning, Dr. I. M. Page of Cincinnati, Ohio, delivered a good common sense, spiritual sermon from the text Rev. XV;3. His subject being "God's ideal home." Part of the sermon follows: "People often think of God as great and powerful but do not think enough of his being a Father. Fine well-furnished residences are not always homes. A home is where Jesus reigns. A real home contains a is an altar erected to God. A millionaire without Christ is a homeless man I would prefer to be one of the poorest persons and have Christ, than to be a wealthy without Him. The devil is building tunnels under American homes, and striving to degrade the girls. Every year many girls disappear. They are kidnapped and sold into horrible slavery. Race misunderstanding is causing much trouble in our land. No minister has the right to twist the meaning of God's word so that it favors one race. There is no race prejudice in the Gospel. We must wipe it out. Preach the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. Then practice what you preach. The old Book tells about love. God is able to raise up men to carry out His slans. John Brown, Lincoln, and Moses were instruments in God's hand. While searching for the most beautiful thing let's read the Book. It says, "Eye hath not seen nor ear heard neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him." 图 The Vice President, Miss Lorraine Griffin conducted B. Y. P. U., Sunday. The meeting was conducted in a pleasing way. Sunday evening at 8:00 o'clock, our minister Dr. E. T. Fishback delivered a soul stirring sermon, using as text; Eph. III; 20, 21. Eph. III; 8-12; Prov. XXX; 24-28. Subject:— "The four extension courses of God's University." What a pity, more did not hear the instructive sermon.

To the Baptist Brotherhood, Coworkers in the Ministry, Fellow Sufferers in the Cause of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and Christians thru-out the World, Greeting: This is to say to you that the 7th Annual Baptist setting of the F. M. C. of the State of Oklahoma which convened with the 1st Baptist Church of Admore, Rev. W. H. Burill, presnr, has just closed a most glorious session. It was an unprecedented success both instructively and constructively in its organism as well as financial and spiritual in its mission. The attendance was large and enthusiastic, the manifested interest exhibited at the meeting showed plainly that the local churches thru-out the State go a clearer a nd deeper vision of their purpose and existence in the world. The spirit which dominated thru out this entire session was not to create offices but to make disciples, not to choke the press with silent ministers, but to fill the earth with heralds of the cross the burning message, destined to set the hearts of men on fire everywhere and to capture the world for Jesus and His church. The spirit of this convention was not only characteristic of the various local auxilliaries and representatives, but its officers from the president to the janitor, young men and young women, young ministers full of intellectual power, physical strength and Holy Ghost vigor. The young people of the state have indeed got a vision. Money raised, $233.50, expenses $26.35, sent to Dr. L. G. Jordan, F. M. C., Secretary for foreign missions $200. The only changes made in the official staff were created by trans- A Portation, the meeting adjourned to meet with the 1st Baptist Church, at Idabel, Okla.

We the members of West End Baptist Church celebrated the 4th Anniversary of our pastor, Rev. McSpringer, D. D., beginning on the 24th day of May, We had devotion. Services were conducted every night. We had with us some men endowed with the Holy Spirit, made our hearts burn. We then had a lively contest between two of our sisters, in the persons of Mary Taylor and Henrietta Clark. The prize a watch bracelet, and Saturday was tag day, Sister Mary Taylor being the lucky one in receiving the watch raised the largest amount of money. We raised $125,33 for our pastor. He is worthy of all we can do for him, his heart was filled with gladness. he had been complaining but when, he received the $125 33 he was made well and soda water said: hide me. Schlater, Miss. I want to say just a word about the life of Sister E Moore who has received her letter and has lived in Free Grace Baptist Church and was a good worker in the church, we did hate for her to leave us Sister Moore was the wife of Rev C. H. Johnson, he died preaching the gospel. Sister Johnson is now the wife of Rev. S. J. Moore, her membership is with Mt. Olive Baptist Church and she says, she is going to work until death. EFFICIENCY IN GOVERNMENT. Quite a number of the Presidential candidates are predicating their hopes for success on their argument for more efficient methods for the conduct of Government business. Some of them are explaining the proposed "budget system," which is a plan that was urged during the administration of former President Taft, who pointed out to unwilling congresses made up of majorities at different times of both the Republican and Democratic parties, that a budget system would determine the exact needs of the government, thereby enabling congress to provide funds enough for carrying on the public business. It is urged that the system now in operation has resulted in countless duplications of bureaus, and that many of them should be abolished. There is no question that this is the state of affairs in Washington; and if the budget system would point its accusing finger at the different duplicate organizations it would serve to show the uselessness of many of them.

St. MUSKOGEE, - OKLA. vote, there is democracy: The streets are not safe from thuggery because an armed policeman is not attacked; a frail woman and a little child, carrying a bank roll, is the test of that. Colored people of the South test a white man of the South by his attitude toward colored men and women; if he is polite and just to colored folk, there is no doubt that he is polite and just. If a man is kind to his servants, there is little room for doubt that he is kind to his neighbors. The little black woman of the South, is now to be the acid test of American civilization and democracy. Have we civilization and democracy here? Thanks to this little woman, we will soon know. Will this undefende daughter of sorrow and mother of problems be allowed to take her place in the state as a human being? You see, civilization will not be doing more for this woman than she will be doing for civilization; she will be putting the finish touches on democracy and civilization. That is the chief reason why we should want every man and woman to vote: because every man, a vote helps to establish democracy and assure civilization. We should not think so much of the voter, a "privilege,, as of the voter's contribution to this common good. It takes eyes to see; however, Will the South have the eyes? The low estate of civilization and democracy in the South today is due to the fact that nearly half of its population is not allowed to cooperate in it, no allowed to HELPI! It is just like anything else; the fewer real helpers; the smaller the work done. Some are not wise enough to view civilization in that light; they rather view it as something to hand out and pass around, and naturally conclude that the fewer we have to share it among, the more each will get. But civilization is not a cake to be sliced up it is rather a deed to be done; to be done yearly, daily hourl4; and the more DOERS we have the more helpers, the bigger deed and the greater gain for all. If we can only get the South to think of this little black woman as coming in to help and increase, and not simply to share and to decrease, the common good. Nothing but unreasonable fear will prevent our most wrong. There is a large element in the South which will naturally fear colored women, even when they come with gifts of helpfulness. We always think of those we wrong as coming in to avenge their wrongs rather than to aid us. That is a part of our Literature, Merchandise, General Supplies for B. Y. P. U.

FALSE MOTION Influence of the Negro on clec- tions is attracting nation wide atten. tion. The Negro has a well founded suspicion that he must act for him- seal rather than depend upon the promise of some pelitical party or faction in a party. Ife knows he can eapect Ittle of the Democrats and he has begun to sce that Republi- cans hhe to kave his vote -ut that is og far as the party wants to go, yThe National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People fs doing much to cement the Negro ‘ote into a separate and distinct factor. Some charge that the asso- ciation is stirring up racial hatred. The association is issuing question- shes to candidates, presidential and congressional. The questionaire has the following “seven points:” 1, "Wall you favor the enactment of laws making lynching a federal of- fense? 2, What Is your attitude toward the disfranchisement of Americans of Ne- pro descent: (a) will you advocate that Congress enforce the Lith Amendment and reduce the repre- entation of States which disfran- chise their citizens, or (b) will you advocate the appointrent of United States Commissioners to enforce the 15th Amendment? 3, Will you withdraw armed or other interference with the inde- pendence of Maiti? 5 Will you urge national aid to elementary education without dis- crimination against Negro children? 6. Will you pledge the apportion- ment of Negro sohhers and Negro of- ficers In the armed forces of the, United States In proportion to their numbers In population? © | 7. Will you abolish racial segrega- tion in theCivil Service of the United States? The above is a clipped editorial from the Engle, which shows the thinking white man‘s opinion of the black man of America. He is right to think that the influence of the Negro on election is attracting nation wide at- tention. Then truthfully, it express- es exactly what is in the Negro’s heart, when it say that neither party has given his a square deal as an American citizen, and we believe that it is high time that the Negro was looking out for himself and stop let- ting a few political grafters use them for the present time and they are not thought of uny more, Now we think that the seven points in the questionarires are just as fair as hu- ran beings could express, and to our surprise The Eagle ended this splen- We as wellns Attorney C L Jones, his son, were exceeding- ly glad to shake hands with Prof W W_ Jones, the Presi- dent of the Fort Smith Branch of the N.

Now, it has begun to teach this “tom-rot” under the caption of they are not willing to stand for race equality, which is a “big bugger bear” to get frightened over that they might poison the public with prejudice, simply to keep the Negro from gete tirg a fair ckence to labor spent and grow, and develop Ike other races, Then, the white man, the Christian ran of a Christian civill- zation should not have to be forced to trent the weak rightly, We feel hhe the fifty years that this paper is talking nbout fs hke all other white men’s opinions, who are blind in one eye with prejudice, Open both eyes and turn over a few leaves in the blessed Bible, it says: “Out of one | hlood rinde He all rations to dwell dpon the earth.” Pray for that spirit that will not shrink, though pressed by every foe, Is our advice ta the Negro, and march on, It seems that the best brain of America has gotten together in Chicago, and directing the Conven- tion in the Presidential Nomination.
