Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE SIX HUNDRED DELEGATES, FORTY-THREE STATES MOLD SENTIMENT FOR THE RACE THE RIGHTS FOR 12 MILLION AMERICAN CITIZENS WERE VITAL TOPICS Atlanta, Ga, June,18 -The address to the country, unanimously agreed to by the 600 delegates from 43 states attending the eleventh annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of colored people, whose membership is said to include 100,000 white and colored people, organized in 328 branches for securing American citizenship rights for 12,000,000 American Negroes, have issued an address to the country. The address says in part: "The national Association for the advancement of Colored People calls upon the political parties of the country, about to meet in national convention, to give due consideration to the race question, than which there is none more vital to the high welfare and to the future of the nation. "It calls upon these parties to give in their platform expression to the declaration that the principles of common justice and democracy for all American citizens regardless of race or color. It called upon these parties specifically to declare— (1) For the untrammelled right of the Negro to vote under identical qualifications required of others; (2) For Federal suppression of lynching - that crime which has become shame and humiliation of the nation before the civilized world; (3) For national aid to education which will be so distributed as to insure to every child black and white, free common-school training, NEGRO EDUCATION A NATIONAL ASSET Moofield Story of Boston, President of the N.A.A.C.P. in his message, which was read by Arthur S. Spingarn of New York, one of the Association's VicePresidents, quoted the warning which has been given by Monroe N. Work, statistician of Tuskegee Institute and editor of "The Negro Year Book" that "The South is losing each year, because of bad health conditions among its Negro population, more than $300,000 000. Dr. M. Ashby Jones, of the Ponce de Leon Baptist Church of Atlanta and one of the leaders in "The Atlanta Plan of Inter-racial cooperation," declared that the strong white leaders of the South are in favor of 12,000 000 American Negroes having their full rights as citizens including the right to good schools and to the security of their life and property. SOME CONFERENCE "HIGH SPOTS" As presiding officer at the opening meeting, Arthur S. Spingarn said "We are facing problems of portentious moment. Mutual tolerance sympathy and respect we must have. All our problems must be solved with justice." James Weldon Johnson, the Association's field Secretary and well-known diplomat, poet and journalist, presented the cardinal points on which the members of the Association have taken their stand. "How long?" asked Mr. Johnson, "will Negroes be afraid to speak the truth and how long will white men be afraid to listen to the truth?" A symposium on the committee on church co-operation and of the N.A.A.C.P. Board of Directors stated that the Association took its stand on the United States constitution. "We stand against segregation. We stand for the ballot. Negroes have non-rights in the North, except those rights for which they have fought " Dr. Plato Durham. Dean of Emory University, Atlanta said: "The time has come when we must know each other. The first essential thing to do is to remove the barriers of misunderstanding so taat men may be judged fairly." NEGROES STILL MIGRATE "If the South wants to retain the Negro, it must give him freedom and justice," said Rev. W.W. Bagnall, Rector of St. Matthew's M. E. Church, Detroit, and president of the locaN.A.A.C.P. DR DUBOIS ON EDUCATION "I advocate schools for all people" said DR. DUBOIS. "Schools that train, not simply to work, put to think; schools that train not simply for vocations and professions, but for the greatest of careers that of a democratic citizen in a democratic state." RACE COMMISSIONS Dr. J.E. Spingarn of New York Treasurer of the National association presided at the session devoted to a discussion of "Lynching and Segregation." He proposed the plan of forming permanent commissions. In each of the southern states to consist of five leaders of each race in each state, and these leaders to be chosen by the respective governors on the basis of leadership and not politics. Dr. William Pickens, associate field secretary said "Segregation is the cause of most lynching, because segregation causes the impression of inferiority." The 1921 meeting of the N. A. A. C. P will be held in Detroit. AGENTS AND REPORTERS Hereafter, persons sending matter for publication, must have same in the office not later than Wednesday morning.

Harding, of Marion, Ohio, as candidate for President on the Republican ticket. We do not come out against Harding for President; as some, on the grounds that we do not know much about him, perhaps others were not nominated because we knew too much about them—Instead of complainig, all should concentrate their efforts in putting a republican in the White House. And now, and in all time to come, persistently make our wants known instead of wanting to know so much about the candidate. The greatest leaders are not always "preached up." You have only a few more days left for registering. We earnestly hope that every citizen fully realizes and appreciate the value of the vote and will not fail to register in order to be eligible to vote. You can not have a change in government unless you use your vote in making the desired change. Neither should you expect those in office to legislate in your favor when they know you are not using your vote against them. Your vote is your only safeguard in this direction.

S Duluth, Minn., was disgraced with a lynching this week, not only Duluth, but our boasted civilization. Such disgraceful procedures are not odious only to our race. The following is an editorial from a white editor of this section: We used to look frowningly upon the South as the lynching area of America. There are certain sections of the South in which a crime against a woman invariably is followed by a lynching bee. The chief objection to the custom is that the wrong person often is lynched, color being the puly identification mark usually insisted upon by the mob. Of late the lynching habit has been spreading northward, and the northern mobs add certain dramatic touches which the Southerners, who have become accustomed to the routine of lynching work, have neglected. The Omaha mob destroyed a fine courthouse and hanged the mayor along with the Negro. Now Duluth, one of the most northerly of our cities, storms a jail without much trouble, and hangs three suspected Negroes in rapid succession, thus making sure of killing at least two innocent persons with the chance of killing one guilty one. The lynching problem has become a national one. No section of the country can lift an accusing eyebrow at another section in this matter. The North is either losing its pride as a decent place in which to live, or too many indecent and lawless people are going North, and creating a new sentiment in the North.

Drive For 50,000 Men to Harvest the Kansas Wheat Crop News Service, Kansas State Farm Bureau Manhattan, Kansas., June 18.—The drive to obtain 50,000 extra men to harvest the Kansas wheat crop has begun. Three organizations, the Kansas State Farm Bureau, the Extension Division of Kansas State Agricultural College, and the Kansas Labor Department will cooperate to aid the federal farm labor bureau in putting over the big drive. These three organizations will furnish six men to aid the federal labor bureau in Kansas City. The Kansas State Farm Bureau will send a man to St. Louis, and another to Denver to help in rounding up the men. An effort will be made to recruit 20,00 men through the Kansas City office, and 7,500 each through the St. Louis and Denver offices. The others are expected to flow into Kansas from the Oklahoma harvest fields, the Colorado beet fields, and the smaller towns of Missouri. An effort will be made to send the men from Kansas City, St. Louis and Denver by special train to central distribution points. The points selected are Wichita, Hutchinson, Salina, Dodge City, Liberal and Goodland. From these points they will be apportioned to the different counties according to demand, and distributed through the county farm bureau. Men will be appointed to help with the distribution in unorganized counties. Wichita will be the central headquarters, and all calls for extra help will be sent to the labor office there.
