THE NEGRO STAR.

Vol. XIII No 18 CANDIDATE COX FAIR WITH ANY WORD ENCOURAGEMENT One-Tenth of the Entire States Which Loan Possessed to Count By Democratic Party Based On "No Rights Attitude of Democrats Reflected Race Exhibited by Cox, Who No Promises Whatever to Chicago, Aug 27. - A Democratic promise, especially when made to the colored race, has ceased to be even a delusion and a snare. Since Woodrow Wilson's solemn promise made to Bishop Walters and twenty-five other distinguished colored citizens, in 1912, was allowed to subside into the realms of ordinary demagoguery, the promises of a Democratic Candidate have grown so completely into contempt that they cease to be made. Many thoughtful people are wondering why Governor Cox could not find a word of encouragement to say to the twelve million Negroes, who form one-tenth of the entire population of the country, who loaned one-fifth of all they possessed to the Government in time of stress; among whom there was not a single "concientious objector" to the draft; who never furnished a single case for investigation in the espionage activities. If Governor Cox felt a disposition to say such a word, he knew that it would be out of tune with the harmony of the Democratic Party. Further than that, he knew if he said it nobody would believe it. The Democratic is founded primarily upon the conclusion that the black man has no rights that the Democratic party is bound to respect. This has been so clearly established that it has taken its place as the keystone of its foundation. Profiting by Woodrow Wilson's discomfiture after making a fair promise to the colored people in 1912, Governor Cox has probably pursued the line of least resistance by not making any Colored Man Clearly Not Wanted At Dayton Welcomed at Harding's Home, but Given Scant Place at Cox's Ceremonies Chicago, Aug.—With the formal notification of the opposing candidates for President over, it is understood that the campaign is on to the finish; but it remains to make a few observations contrasting the two events. Representatives of the colored race from all over the country made a pilgrimage to Marion to do honor to the Republican candidate, and were hospitable amply cared for in the arrangements, while the very atmosphere of the Democratic gathering at Dayton was fraught with indications that the occasion was not the colored mans meeting Merchants Who Advertise in a Race Paper, Desire Your Patronage—Give Them a Trial. promises to them at all. He knows that his party will go to the electoral college with the votes of the solid south carefully packed and ready for delivery. He knows that about half of the constitutional citizen of that section have been denied the right of franchise. He knows that without this solid south where political reasoning is so dormant that there is but one side to the question, there would be no Democratic Party. He knows that when his party is in power that this section and the sentiment that pervades it will govern the actions of the executive. When Bishop Walters and a party of represenative colored men called upon Woodrow Wilson in 1912, he gave them the assurance, unequivocal and definite, that no discrimination by the National Government would be made against any man on account of his race. If Woodrow Wilson had been a Republican he could have kept his promise. As a Democrat, he could not; end Mr. Cox knows that as a Democrat he cannot. Wilson practiced segregation in executive departments; discharged employees in prominent positions, and practiced discrimination such as no one ever dreamed could be brought about any class of citizens. He submitted himself, bag and baggage, to the enemies of the colored race and ran true to Democratic form. Governor Cox would do likewise. If he is elected, the Democratic south will be the biggest factor. In the result, and the Democratic south will have the largest influence in his control. NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE IN SESSION Over 1000 Delegates From All Sections of the Country In Attendance President R. R. Moton Says Negro is Not Asking for Pity or Charity; but a Man's Chance By The Negro Associated Press Philadelphia, Pa., Aug., 27.—Aspirations of the National Negro Business League, which commenced its twenty-first annual sessions at Dunbar Theatre Wednesday night, were explained at the Academy of Music last night by Dr. Robert R. Moton, successor of Dr. Booker T. Washington as president of the league and as Principal of Tuskegee. Speaking of the league, he said; "It shall ask for the Negro not pity nor yet charity, but a man's chance, an American's chance. Today it asks for no rights or privileges not enjoyed by other worthy American citizens; but it does ask and will continue to A. MRS. J. REEVES, El Dorado, Kansas. The above is the likeness of Mrs. J. Reeves, of El Dorado, Kansas, one of the most talented women of the Southwestern District, seen in a brighter cast when she read a paper at Great Bend, Kansas, on, "The Woman's place in the Church." She proved her ability to concentrate, research, classify, build and deliver with effect; that she might clearly hold her audience at her command. So well did she do her duty until every person in the Association wanted to tell her how they had been helped by the paper. But we are here to say that all of this District is proud of her, for her talent is from God and is discovered in His use for His glory. Rev. J. Reeves is proud of his better half and smiles rolled by one after the other, while she made the Reeves family famous. She proved worthy of her husband and he proved worthy of his wife, when he preached the Temperance Sermon. The District is truly proud of its daughter, who is destined to bless the world with her talent. ask that Negroes, to the same degree as others, shall share the blessings and privileges of American citizenship in every line of human endeavor—no more, no less. Between 900 and 1000 delegates from every part of the country attended the sessions, which will continue through Friday. Dr. Moton urged the affiliation os all Negro organizations in the country in order that their efforts for the betterment of the race, and for procuring justice in the elimination of lynching and other evils shall be effective. He also urged the league to form a strong organization to furnish capital to Negro business men. "The Race has never earned so much money as at present; never had so much money as today; and was never more willing to invest that money than now," said he, and has never been so willing to accept Negro leadership with such implicit confidence as now; and who shall say that this does not mark for the National Negro Business League the hour of its supreme opportunity!" "The Negro must learn as no other has learned, that a great deal of the so-called race problem must be worked out at 3 per cent," said Dr. Moton. "Business as such comes very near being color blind, and will yield always a hearty response to proper management." He pointed out that the population of the United States in 1790 was 4,000,00 and now that there are 11,000,000 Negroes alone. They conduct 50,00 business enterprises, seventy-two banks with a capitalization of $2,500,000, and doing an annual business of $35,000,000, have 100 bakeries, 40 department stores, 2080 dry good and notion stores, seventy-five furniture stores, 10,000 groceries, 1000 drug stores, 1200 millinery shops, 200 plumbing establishments, there are 150 or more, architects and 1200 undertakers. At the other meeting Bishop R. E. Jones, of New Orleans, recently appointed by the Methodist Conference, advised the Negroes to exercise one hundred per cent co-operation among themselves. Doctor Moton urged a wider spread of Christianity. Barious speakers from Southern states told of financial and commercial development of the Negro in the last Negro Population Is A Large Factor in our Finances Is Not Only A Formidable Investor But Is Also Creditor of U. S. Must Consider Party Pledges Democratic Methods Have Inflated Our Currency Beyond all Reason Chicago, Aug.27.—Aside from his observation of disfranchisement, discrimination and peonage, for which the Democrat Party stands sponsor, the colored man should be deeply interested in the contrast of policies between the two big parties on banking and currency. The American Negro is worth $2,000,000,000 now, and while he operates only 35 banks, he is doing a considerable banking business with white institutions, and counting his activities in agriculture, he is one of the largest factors in the production of the country. Governor Coolidge called attention to this in his recent speech accepting the Republican nomination for Vice-President, when he said that the "colored people had loaned to the Government $1.00 out of every $5.00 they possessed." Since the colored man has become not only a formidable investor, but a creditor of his country, he should carefully consider the difference between the pledges of the Republicans and the miserable hedge-bridge of reckless extravagance carried on by the Democrats. Colored investors loaned their money to the Government, not to be thrown away, but to meet the economic necessities of the country. They want the bonds they bought to be always worth their face value. But the Democrats, in their Z al to profit gacy with the people's money, have blown wind and water into our currency until it is inflated beyond any precedent in the country's history. "The continuance of this policy, since the Armistice," save the Republican platform "laws the Administration open to severe criticism. Almost up to the present time the practices of the Federal Reserve Board as to credit control have been frankly dominated by the convenience of the Treasury. "The results have been a greatly increased war cost, a serious loss to the millions of people who in good faith bought Liberty Bonds and Victory Notes at par." As a creditor of his Government and a beginner in the financial arena, conservaism of the national currency is a matter of as much concern to the colored man as to the whitest man in the country. It is of very great importance to the colored laborer and the hard-working washerwoman who have loaned their country money by buying Liberty Bonds to know that the bond for which they paid $50 dollars is $50 every hour in the day, every day in the week and every week in the year. few years. William E. Carson, president of the Negro Business League of Philadelphia, welcomed the delegates. The Rev. Charles A. Tindley, of the East Calvary Methodist Episcopal Church, prayed. Dr. B. Moton was elected presi- Dr. R. R. Moton was elected presi- GOVERNOR COX, FRIEND OF SENATOR HARRISON AND THE OTHER SOUTHERN REACTIONARIES By Neval H. Thomas The colored people who have intimate knowledge of Gov. Cox's chief supporters shudder at the thought of another Democratic administration. The man who put governor over at San Francisco, and who has since been placed in entire charge of the speakers bureau is Senator Pat Harrison who represents, or rather misrepresents, Mississippi in the United States Senate. He is the embodiment of the infamous system which disfrancises our brothers, outrages our manhood, robs our little children of the opportunity to learn, exploits of labor, denies us the right to sit on juries, condemns us to peonage, and lynches us as a pastime. How hath Mississippi fallen? This man holds the seat in the senate once held by Blanche K. Bruce and Hiram Revela. Negro statesmen whose eminent abilities won encomiums from Hoard and Windom, Blaine and Conkling. Before coming to the senate this same man of meagre culture and mediocre native endowment was in the House, the successor of John R. Lynch who measured up to the same high standards of these severe critics. When Negroes ruled Mississippi her congressional delegations were composed of statesmen who kept faith with their oaths to uphold the constitution, while today under the supremacy achieved by the most flagrant violations of law, we have the Harrisons, the Sissons and Williamses who have never comprehended the meaning of democracy and can conceive of nothing but a slave economy. They secure and uphold their seats in congress by proving that they hate the Negro, and believe in color caste. We hear nothing from them in congress but fulminations about Jim crow cars, segregation and cheating the Negro at the polls. While in the House Mr. Harrison introduced a jim crow car hill for the capital of the nation so that foreign visitors could see our rhetorical democracy in operation. In the recent investigation of our schools by a se- dent for the ensuing year. Mesdames Booker T. Washington, Maggie L. Walker and Richmond A. Malone, vice presidents; Charles H. Anderson, secretary. Bishop R. E. Jones was chosen Chairman of the Executive Committee. Resolutions commending Harding and Coulidge were withdrawn after a hot fight. HARDING PLEADS FOR OLD MORALITY Says It's Good to Drink of Past to Gain Inspiration for Tomorrow Marlon, O.—To Governor Cox's declaration that the Republican party stands on the skyline of a setting sun, Senator Harding replied today that "if we may look backward to clear our vision we may look forward more confidently." "Call it reaction if you like," said the Republican nominee in a speech here "but we need the old standards of honesty, the lofty standards of fidelity, "If we are living in the past to recall the wisdom of Washington, the equal rights of Jefferson, the genius of Hamilton, the restoration of McKinley, or the awakening of Roosevelt, I am happy to drink of the past for my inspiration for the morrow. "Engineering is a scientific pursuit, and I never knew an engineer who did not turn his transit to his back sight to make sure of his line by which he were to move on. Every hope of life is of tomorrow, but the glory of ten thousand morrows was wrought in the wisdom gleaned on yesterday." The speech delivered from the front END OF SENATOR TO THE OTHER RN REACTIONARIES lect committee of the senate he tried to emasculate our colored school officials and discredit our efficient system. He refused to address our colored witnesses with the customary "Mr. and Mrs." He virtually declared me unfit for teaching American youth because I teach them the sanctity of the Constitution of the United States. He had newspapers from different parts of the country containing my utterances on his table and passed them to other senators in an effort to prejudice them against me. He failed in this, however, as the other members of the committee were Senators Oupper, Sherman, Dillingham, and Walsh, and the papers contained only my condemnations of the outrages upon the constitution by Mississippi and the other southern states. He then secured a special night meeting of the senate in which he delivered, in poor phraseology severed strictures against Mrs. Coralie Franklin Cook and Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, two of the colored members of the board of education, because they had insisted that the school law be enforced and the colored superintendent, Roscoe Conklin Bruce, be given the powers guaranteed him by the statute. He eulogised the white superintendent (since dismissed) who has the Mississippi idea of the Negro education; who worked in every way to subordinate our colored school officers; and who was out of sympathy with our efforts for much needed equipment for the colored schools. In the closing hours of the last congress he tricked the senate into unanimous consent to a rider to an appropriation bill giving the appointing power of the board of education to President Wilson, and continuing the prejudiced superintendent in office. We lobbied among the House conferees and defeated it, thus saving the colored people their representation on the board of education from which Senator Harrison sought to eliminate them. We cannot support a man like Gov. Cox who is so unfortunate in his company. porch of the Harding residence to members of the Ohio Republican Editorial association was a plea for a return to the old-time morality and fairness. If every one concerned had been "rigidly honest," he said, peace might have long since have been established and industrial and social unrest quitted. He also advocated a forest policy to insure the adequate domestic supply of timber to meet, among other needs, the demand for print paper pulp. There was no direct reference to the League of Nations, but the candidate revealed tonight that he expected soon to elaborate on his previous declarations for an international understanding that would not imperil American integrity. He indicated that the enlargement of his foreign policy would be included in the speech that he is to make early in September dealing primarily with agricultural issues. The Minnesota state fair is under consideration as the place where this address will be delivered. Minister's Pleads For His Race; Brings Applause By The Negro Associated Press Lincoln, Nebr., Aug 27 --Dr. Charles A Tindley the celebrated Philadelphia Negro preacher, was the principal speaker at the Epworth Assembly meeting last Thursday afternoon. He made an elequent plea for justice for the Negro and was loudly applauded by a large mixed audience of whites and colored people. : 2 : ‘__.

Scripture Lesson Fphesians 4:2-16. Subject— “The Central force in our Extension of Christianity.” Part of the sermon follows: Christ's Disciples desired to know when the Kingdom should be reator- ed to Ierael, They thought that af- ter His resurgection, Jesus would come into His glory. Remember, one wanted to sit on His right and one on the left. Jesus knew of this great extension and commanded that they tarry at Jerusalem until they be endowed with power, In modern speech His words were:—You shall be my wit- nesses, you shall extend My King- dom, The Disciples were tol? by tri great Teacher, of a people who had not been called but should be called God’s people when the Holy Ghost comes tpon you, sald Jesus, and gives you power to overcome, you shall extend this Gospel, “The promise Is to you and your children and to as many as God shall call.” That inheritance, belongs to every child of God. The Comforter has come. Peter said the Chrisy who had been crucified had become Christ and Lord. | Christ became exalted because He humbled Iimself. We are His will- ing subjects—acknowledge Him as Lord. Our vital personal relation to Christ enables us to sing—“What a wonderful change in my life has been wrought since Jesus came into my heart.” "Our experience of our feet having been taken out of the mire and placed upon-the rock—will help you to ex- tend this Gospel. Tell it to others. | ‘These twelve fuspired workmen were raised from the depths of hu- malliation and shame to ,the sublime heights to extend the Gospel. These twelve met the mailed fist of Rome. When the sand of the Coliseum was red with their blood and their bodles formed torches, the Disclptes were proving to be the won- derful witnesses for Christ. | Think of the great extension—from the handfal of Disciples who foracok Him and fled to the legions who now own His name and are extending the Gospel, | Why did you atop telling of your eonversion? Are you ashame?
