THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE NEVAL H. THOMAS SPEAKS OUT FOR EQUAL RIGHTS AND JUSTICE FOR ALL AMERICAN CITIZENS Vol. XIII No. 21 Not How Gloriously We Have Fought--But How Gloriously We Should Live Negroes Should Get Together Special to The Negro Star: Special to the Negro Star. In an impassioned speech at St. Paul A. M. E. Church last night Neval H. Thomas of the Dunbar High School flayed the white enemies of the race and their Negro accomplices. He paid his respects to Woodrow Wilson and the League of Nations, and his "newspaper scriblers" whom he has invested with high executive functions in the District government. "The League of Nations is a warbreeding pact to enslave the darker races of the world. The imperialist statesmen of Europe made a plaything out of Mr. Wilson. We got nothing from the "peace conference" but a few banquets and other social functions for the president, while England gets world dominion. Under the flattery and influence of Lloyd George Mr. Wilson signed this pact which means that our black boys will be called at any time from the jim-crow car, the city ghetto, and the menial service to which America's caste system has condemned them, to go over seas to maintain England's domination over nearly four hundred million of dark-skinned people." He scored Commissioner Brownlow, the in unmeasured terms for his injustice to the colored people. "Commissioner Brownlow, the little Democratic newspaper scribbler whom Mr. Wilson placed over this great capital because he had written complimentary articles during the Wilson campaign for the presidency, is the worst enemy the colored children have ever had as their head of the government. Only this summer he has withheld $202,000 from the colored schools, Deanwood and Phelps. At Deanwood he is constructing a veritable death trap of wood on top of two stories that are so dilapidated that they ought to be destroyed, and allows $142 000 that congress gave to lapse into the treasury. I have appealed to Judge Terrell and Mr, L. M. Hershaw for aid to prevent this gligantic wrong, but they make no response whatever. In other years when I have asked their aid against the Brownlow policy of giving the colored children but 10 per cent of the school fund when they constitute 31 per cent of the school population, they failed us. But let us not lose hope. We are coming to a new leadership, a leadership that means service to those who are led, and not one that is content to draw salary and get along with white people. We are coming to a leadership that will talk about something more than our "glorious military record from Bunker Hill to Carrizal," yes, to one that will tell the nation what we ought to have as a Reward for that record.- The white South, Pat Har- Merchants Who Advertise in a Race Paper, Desire Your Patronage—Give Them a Trial. rison, Windy Heflin. Vardaman, and all the other ignorant, blatant demagogues of that section will praise our patrolism. What we want is not talk about how glorious' we have died, but how goriously we ought to be able to live." He told them to watch their school fund above all things, as the enemy always tries to keep the oppressed in ignorance. He told them to write to all of their sisters in the state and tell them to study the issue and vote this coming November to oust the present autocratic Negro hating administration, and prevent its continuance under the leadership of Gov. Cox and the white South. He praised the Washington Eagle as the only paper in Washington that will champion the cause of the colored child. "We must get together," he said in concluding, "nothing pleases the oppressors more than to see meetings of Negroes fighting each other over patronage while the white man runs off with the school fund." NATIONAL WOMAN'S CHRISTIAN TEMPERANCE UNION. ANNA A. GORDAN, president Bureau of Publicity. Cns of the Mothers' clubs of the W. C. T. U. Neighbors, an Americanization center in New York City, has undertaken to supply the wants of men in one of the military posts on the Mexican border. All the members of the club are women of foreign birth, just now beginning to learn the English language and to understand a little of American ways and institutions. They do understand the needs of soldiers, however, for military organization is no new thing to them from their new experience in the old world. Many people are inclined to give a fair shore of credit for the successful issue of the half century fight to secure the passage of the prohibition amendment to the policy that was adopted years ago by the Women's Christian Temperance Union of having the children in the public schools instructed in the nature of the alcoholic beverages and their effect upon human tissue. Many a child has been convinced of the bad effect of whiskey upon the stomach by witnessing that simple experiment of pouring a little alcohol upon white of an egg and seeing the colorless albumen turn a deadly white. Children thus impressed with the conviction that a similar reaction would follow the introduction of alcoholic material mat into their stomachs, have grown into a generation of voters who have sent men to Congress to vote upon the question of prohibiting the manufacture, sale or importation of alcoholic beverages within the boundaries of the United States. The same program is being adopted in Uruguay, that country in, South America which is now engaged in an energetic Wichita, Kansas, Friday, Sept. 17, 1920 Henry Lincoln Johnson Says He Will Speak In Atlanta By The Negro Associated Press Ever since the expose of the disfranchisement methods in the South, and particularly in Georgia, by Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, before the Senate investigation committee, threats of many kinds, insinuations and inuences have been made against the well being and life of the Colonel. A representative of The Negro Associated Press took the matter up with him and sought to learn his feeling on the subject. He said: "Do you wish a news story? Well, you can tell the world that I am going to deliver an address on the Campus of Morris Brown College, Atlanta, before the greatest throng of people ever assembled in Georgia. I am going to tell them the truth as I see it, and I will not be afraid. I am going to send an invitation to every newspaper in Georgia, including dailies, and I am going to invite the members of the Georgia Legislature, and all persons who have anything to say about conditions in the South. I want them to be present and hear me." The date of this event has not been announced. However, direct information from Atlanta, Col. Johnson's home is to the effect that the people of that city are all ready to honor their advocate and leader. They have raised a large fund for the proper entertainment, and when Col. Johnson arrives from the North, his feet will not be permitted to touch the ground, but he will be carried to waiting automobiles on the shoulders of admirers. Excursions will be run to Atlanta from all over the state. It is learned on very excellent authority that there are large numbers of right thinking white people who agree with Col. Johnson and agree that he is right, and that he should be backed up in his efforts to stop the crime of lynching and to open the door of the voting booth to the people of his race. PINK BOLLWORM DANGEROUS Agricultural College, Miss. The Pink Bollworm, a destructive insect enemy of cotton, now occurs in parts of Louisiana and Texas. Every effort is being made to eradicate it from the areas in which it has been discovered. The Pink Bollworm is as serious as the Boll Weevil and great losses will follow if it becomes firmly established in Mississippi. The picking season is the best time to look for the Pink Bollworm. All cotton pickers should be on the lookout for cotton bolls showing insect injury. Regard with suspicion all cotton seed with holes in them: The State Plant Board is doing every thing possible to protect the cotton industry of Mississippi from this pest, and will appreciate the cooperation of every cotton grower in the State. Full information regarding the Pink Bollworm will be mailed immediately upon receipt of request to all who are interested. All bolls or seed showing insect injury should be mailed in a tight container to the Entomologist, State Plant Board of Mississippi, Agricultural College, Miss. Flight for prohibition. A law has recently been passed which provides a scientific Temperance Instruction in the public schools through lectures on the harmfulness of strong alcoholic drink so as to bring about a diffusion of knowledge on this subject and create an aversion to alcohol. Such a law does not make Uruguay dry but it sets in motion machinery that will in the end have the effect. THE NEGRO STAR BY J. A. JONES. Beholl it in its infancy Read by a loyal few. Then watch it down the line of years, And see low fast it grew. Behold that patient editor As burning midnight oil, Unturned by silinging slanders, Unurned by ceaseless toll. His brought it where it is today. God grant it may grow on And leave its mission well fulfilled; Wherever its rays have shown. As water floweth downward through The channel of the Rhine, As sparks ascendeth upward so The Negro Star will shine. Behod it now as its strong rays, Are shining aear and far In the year one nine and twenty, It is certainly some Star. Lawton Oklahoma News Sunday was a high day with Bethlehem Baptist Church. S S, was fine also. At the pastor's absence Rev. J. M. Mason filled the pulpit At 3 o'clock Sister Thomas the State Missionary gave a grand lecture from the subject. "Return. At 5 o'clock the B Y. P. U. was called to order by the President Bro. J. L. Lily and an interesting lesson was enjoyed. 8 o'clock found us again assembled for church services; Rev. J. M. Mason preached. Rev. C. S. McLoud left for Frederick, Oklahoma, where he had an appointment to preach. Total collection for the day $15 50. The death angel visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bud Hill Sunday at one o'clock and summoned their dear little six year old daughter. We wish to say to our beloved sister and brother, prepare to meet her. (Mrs.) A. M. Fisher, reporter Mississippi Politician Is The Honored Secretary Chicago, Sept. 17.—Perry W. Howard of Jackson, Miss., the general general secretary of the Chicago Bureau, has begun to wonder what kind of a jink is continuing to cross his pathway. He wears the "same sweet smile" but his friends agree that he is in politics for the love of the game rather than what he gets out of it. To begin with, he feels that he was decorated with the "Ancient and Honorable Emblem" of the "Double Cross" in not being made National Committeeman in St. Louis; then he and his entire delegation from Mississippi, joined the well known order of "Might Have Beens" at the National Convention when they failed to be seated as delegates, and now, last but not least, a few hours after the arrival of his big touring car, which he had shipped from his Jackson home, some kind but evidently weary traveler relieved him of same, before he had time to receive the insurance policy. Up over his desk in the Auditorium, Attorney Howard has this motto in big, bold letters: "IT'S A GREAT GAME IF YOU DON'T WEAKEN." Negroes on Republican Ticket Newark, N. J., Sept. 17-The Republican organization and the Republican League of Essex County will have colored men on their tickets for Assembly nominations in the primaries. The organization has selected John T. Cheshire of this city and the league. Dr. Walter G. Alexander of Orange. He is secretary of the National Medical Association. SENATOR CHARLES CURTIS, THE CONSISTENT FRIEND OF THE NEGRO . DESERVES YOUR VOTE MEMORIAL SERVICE EFFECTIVE AND INSPIRING. Last Sunday afternoon was a scene of reflection and a few moments of cheer for the pastor of the A. M. E. Church, in person of Dr. J. R. Ransom and his members, in the eulogizing of the noble life of Mrs. J. R. Ransom, who had done her best as a wife, mother, member and friend. A sweet organ prelude opened this service and the choir added to the harmony, assisted by the congregation in song. The 90th Psalm was read and Rev. Mickleberry servently offered us and the occasion to God. The choir again sweetened our souls with harmony. Very fittingly Lieut. W. A. Bettis, Master of Ceremonies introduced the occasion. We felt when he was through that we could not spend the time more profitably. Mrs. Mollie Milker represented the Stewardess Board with words of deepest love and regret. Mrs. Cassie Sherrills represented the Missionary Society and from this angle we saw Mrs. J. R. Ransom a great Missionary. Again, the choir mellowed the occasion. Mr. H. T. Sims represented Calvary Baptist Church. Mrs. Minnie Johnson told of her worth to the Allen Endeavor and how they missed her. Music, again was necessary, Dr. G. G. Brown being absent, Atty. Jas. A. Spears appropriately filled his place. The solo by Mrs. Thomas Fines soothed our souls and the solo by Mrs. Letcher finished us for the occasion and we were dismissed by Rev. Mickleberry. Tuskegee Institute Has New Aggie Head Tuskegee Institute, Ala. Sept. 17-Beginning September first, the Agriculture Department of Tuskegee Institute will be under the directorship of Prof. R. F. Hubert, Prof. Hubert was formerly director of the Agricultural Department of the State College of South Carolina Prominent Minister, Educator, andLeader Passes Away Asheville, N. C., Sept. 17—Rev. Chas. B. Dusenbury, pastor of the Calvary Presbyterian church, principal of the Calvary school, and one of the most prominent Negro educators and leaders in the state, died following a short illness. He had served the church for almost 29 years, being the founder of both institutions, which have a great influence among Asheville's Colored population. He was a graduate from both the college and seminary of Lincoln University, and came into the local field when no other prominent church or educational institution was here. Canadian "Palefaces" Have Left The "Blanket" Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Sept.—That Canadian Indians are quite up-to-date, read the daily newspapers. are familiar with modern slang and resent any attempts to consider them as living in the past is instenced by a protest sent to a northern Ontario newspaper which had been reported, them Price: 5c His Influence Has Been Our Salvation He Thinks On All Men Alike The colored people here at the capital know that their brothers and sisters in the great state of Kansas will do their full duty in the coming election and return their great friend and champion, Senator Charles Curtis. What is done in congress affects the entire country, hence it is necessary that we should lose none of those who have stood for us at the seat of government. Whenever there is a bill offered by some Democratic enemy of the South...and they are continually offering them; it is to Senator Curtis that we can appeal, and he always sets his great influence there against the measure. It was to him that we came with Senator Wesley L Jones to defeat Hoke Smith of Georgia when he tried to deny colored agricultural schools the benefit of the twenty million dollar fund which congress gives to aid vocational training. It was to Senator Curtis that we come when we wanted a new high school in keeping with the one furnished for white children. He led the fight and today we have a magnificent Dunbar High School costing $600,000. Only this past Spring he secured an increase for the colored assistant superintendent to bring it up to that of he white. In the tearings on the bill he asked "what difference does color make in service. Why should one of these assistants get less than the other?" He urged an appropriation of $100,000 for additional ground for this same high school in the last congress. Infact he and Senator Jones made such a fight that we are assured this item in next session of Congress. He was prominent in the fight in the closing days of the last congress when another Southern, Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi, tried to eliminate colored people from the board of education. He was one of the Senate conference, and I was beaten easily, so we still have three colored people members on our local board of education. The Democratic Southerners have offered jim crow car bills, anti-marriage bill, and many other that injure us in every phase of our lives and this man has never failed in the great fight for our freedom by watching and lobbying against hostile legislator, and we know that the great state of Kansas will do her duty by keeping her distinguished sons. Charles Curtis and Arthur Capper in the American Senate. as afraid of the giant hydroplane in the service of the Abitibl Pulp and paper company, Cochrane, Ontario. "You can tell the world that the paleface newspapers are black-hearted fabricators," the protest reads. "Un afraid of hydroplanes! Hump. Nothing doing. The Indians are too well used to seeing the white man going up in the air to be bothered by any little hydroplane. Why, we are not afraid of a thrashing machine, aningersoll watch or a Ford automobile. The Indians are not afraid of noise, nor are they alarmed of my tainted machinery. We use wheelbarrows and phonographs regularly ourselves. Those paleface should quit kidding themselves and their readers."

A member of the chain gang in an attempt to escape assaulted the guard, knocking him unconscious injuring him rather se- verely though not fatally, Two were arrested ant one made his escape. The lynching was “orderly” because apparenily there was no resistance. A Corinth dispatch rays the mob ‘de- mianded” the hevs of the jailer, took the prisoners, left the jail in a “quict manner” and murdered thelr vietima on a county road, Now, the injured guard says at Teast one of the murdered colored men was innocent, berause one of the men lynched was in front of him while the rssault was committed from bchind. He thinks the man “who committed the assault was the man who got awav in which case both of the murdered prisoners were innocent, and even the one who es- caped was not cuiltv of a crime that merited death at the hands of the law, The best citizens of the town de- plore the crime and condemn the lynch- ers, but it will take more than reso- Intlons of condemnation to wipe out the stain on the community, What industrious, respectable Negro will stay in such a community if he can get away? What industy‘ous res- | pectable white citizen will care to make his home where a mob can take any man, white or black, against whom its passions have been in- flamed, and hang him in a quiet, or- derly mannen without atterpt to, protect him either by the “best cit- Izens" or the sworn officers of the law? 4 THE ABOVE EDITORIAL is a chpping from The New Orleans Item, sent us by an unknown friend.
