Still more radical measurés are to he pressed upon Congress and the Ieg- islatures by an organization known "as theLord’s Day alliance, a church “organization, which seeks to prohibit Sunday oreration of automobiles, golf ‘laying railroad transportation, and all forms of anusement.

Is Making It More Like Hell. By The Negro Assoclated Press Port Au Prince, Haiti, Nov. 3— Tense conditions still prevail in this section of the world. The week began with an ardent earnest ap- peat from President Dartiguennave, himself, for a thorough investigation by the United States government of the charges of Marines cruel treat- ment of natives and of the fasolence and overbearing attitude of Ameri- can officers toward Ilaitian officials. Later developments reveal that a few of the army of occupation are half heartedly inclined to soften the severities practiced by the more in- tolerant members of the forces. At least this is the appearance of things, The situation has been so fraught with distracting incidents, however, that most people here are inclined to take whatever {s said or done with a pinch of the salt of doubt. As a matter of fact the gen- era] siluation throughout the Island ia chaotic in the extreme. The clouds of discontent ave of a tighter gray here in Port Au Prince, but elsewhere chaos is rampart and truly destruc. tive of normally maintained condi- tions. ~~ President Daitiguenave fs regard- ed one of the big figures in present- day Haitian life. There is a real dignitytin the man’s bearing as well aso certain poise of intellectual ap plication to whatever comes before him for consideration. Ie has pre- sented his charges to the Un.ted States government backed by an ar- ray of Impressive statements raade by his most trusted and reliable government aids, Some of the charges are sustaincd by his personal observations of the attitude and actions of the financial adviser appointed by President Wil- son to administer the financés of the {sland, The personal charges de- clare that the adviser attempted a coup with Haitian funds that cost Haiti fabuloud sums of money. This man is also charged with blocking all remedial propositions prepared by the councillors of the Haitian pres- fdent, The Haitlan government is forced to pay the adviser u salary of $10,000 a year and that together with other heavy incidental expen- ses he has attached two rat catchers to his personal staff to whom the Maltian government {s compelled to pay $250 a month each. The Maitian President further charges that to all intents and pur- posed an American nutocracy exists which, If It is not bridled, will dis- member the government and destroy the people, He included both the eiv- il and military administration of the Americans, “A square deal for my oppreseed people is all I ask,” de- clares President Dartigucnave. His contention that if the United States government would ee4! Lytelligent representatives much, if not all, of the untoward situation would be" ob- viated enecuches a touch of irony that maintained a dignified contempt for things Americaa in general, | Of the cruelly charges advanced eeainst the marines and their offl-| cers, nothing can be said to soften ther actuality, They stand an ualfiq their actuahty. They stand an un- quahfied disgrace to American cive ilization, Intolerance, limited intel- Hgence, inhuman proctlces are chars acteristic of. an administration that will go down in history a reprehen; aible black mark on the trend of mod- ern times, | There are some signs that the United States government {s includ- | ed states government is inclined to bring a healthier adjustment of its’ relations with the Haitians, If this fs done honestly and fully it will do much to creat a higher res- pect for its pacts and promiscs than has hitherto prevailed in this trouble ridder island, NEGRO GROWING IN ACTIVITIES.

They gave a fine pageant in Sym phony Mall. The pageant, which took nearly two hours for its presentation, was called “The Open Door.” It pictured the evolution of the black race from its primitive condition in t’e African jungle, through slavery to the goal of even higher education, incidentaly suggesting the struggles of the young of the Race In common with all others against the allurement of frivolity and of other forms of mere- ly animal enjoyrrent of hfe, The audience had many of the most cultured white people of the city. Everyone of the hundred per- formers and memlera of a big cho- ius had sone African blood in their veins, though manv of them were as white as two-thirds of the Cauas- fan portion of the audience, It is a worthy tribute to report that never has a pageant been giyen In Boston which evinced more artis- tic taste in its theme or stage set- tings or which was interpreted by performers showing a greater amount of appreciation of the true spirit_of ‘the production and the ability to ap- yen] more deeply to the hearts of the aud-ence.

If we as a Race don't get together there will be no good done and if we ever intend to get together it is high time for us to get busy as time and tide don't wait for us; an it is very necessary for us to start at once before we hear the sad cry "too late."

Drawn By Force By The Negro Associated Press Twenty-three deeds to residental property were put to record by Negroes in the city of Winston-Salem, N. G., recently. Homes carefully designed and modern appointments are to be erected sometime in the early spring of next year. This is where segregation will have a fine value. We must begin to make our position of enforced isolation so good in character that the respect of the country's weak-visioned elements will be drawn to us by the force of its attractiveness. So much for Winston Salem. It is now in order to be thankful that things are no worse than they are, "Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the Kingdom of Heaven," comes to me at this moment. I very much fear that my chances are quite slim in this connection. We feel it a proud duty to apprise the members of the craft that brother Webster Porter, be of the East Tennessee News, has found a woman who has taken him for better or for worse. We stop long enough to add that a woman brave enough to take that step with a member of the Fourth Estate is sure to possess the qualities that go to make a good wife. We take off our hat to Mrs. Porter and tender Webster our heartiest congratulations. An Anti-lynching Program By The Negro Associated Press Philadelphia, Penna., D-c. 3. —Strains of music issuing from a Race street meeting house might not seem to the casual passerby cause for comment, but when one realizes that in its long his- tory this was the first time the human voice has ever been raised in song as a part of the program of a public meeting there, the occasion deserves more than passing notice. The meeting was under auspices of the anti-lynching committee of Philadelphia, and was presided over by Anna Biddle Stirling, the committee's chairman. The subject discussed was "The Peril in Present American Inter-Itacial Relations" the principal speaker being Professor Robert T. Kerlen, Virginia Military Institute. In the course of his address, he said, "Gu I never made a more kindly and trustworthy people and less criminally inclined than the Negro Race." Press injustice was dealt upon; little notice being taken of a large meeting of the Business League, with hundreds in attendance for days, but a burglary where the principal is a Negro is given first page prominence "It is not a square deal," declared Prof. Kerlen "We hear much of mob assault, but not enough of the good things." Mrs. Alice Dunbar Nelson gave readings from the works of Paul Lawrence Dunbar the music being furnished by Cheyney Octette, a number of spiritualists being appropriately and beautifully given at different periods during the evening.

It was the general opinion of newspaper men and boxing critics at the ringside that Johnson is in good condition and still retains much of his cleverness and punching power. Johnson, knocked out Frank Owens, a Negro, of Chicago, the last round bout and, after a few minutes' intermission, took on a fresh opponent in the person of "Topeka Jack" Johnson, also a Negro, for four rounds. "Topeka Jack" was badly outboxed. Colored Fire Company For Atlantic City. By Negro Associated Press Atlantic City, N. J., Dec. 3. The Colored fire company here is now a fact.

Valuable and lasting truths were brought out by both scholars and teachers. The lesson was reviewed by the Pastor one among the great thoughts brought out was: "Then saith He unto His disciples, the harvest is plenteous, but the laborers are few; pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He will send forth laborers into His harvest." Here are the principal facts brought out by the Pastor; he shadowed three proposition: 1st, The harvest truly is plenteous. (a) An encouraging vision. (b) Plenteous year. 2d. \ discouraging fact. (a) Too few laborers. 3rd. Our primary duty" is to the Lord of the harvest for laborers. Rev. P. K. Brown made a few remarks to the school and commended the Pastor for such a masterly review. After S. S., was dismissed, praise service was entered into oneed by Deacons W. H. Piper and G. E. Williams. The spirit of Christ seemed to have actuated the hearts of the people from the start. Rev. Webb read the Scripture lesson from the Sunday School lesson, and sang a selection and offered prayer. Rev.

The last two Sundays, the weather has been unsettled and we have had some cold weather, never-the-less the services at the Church of the Living God have been fine. On last Sunday morning, Sunday School was fine, and we had two noble sermons preached by Elder Farr and Elder Stuckey, both did excellently well. The Bible Band was excellent at six o'clock and many good things were said in the lesson. A nice program was rendered, also there another rendered next Sunday. The night sermon was preached by Elder Stuckey and Elder Farr. These sermons were wonderful and were worth hearing. The Pastor is in Louisville, Ky., attending the General Assembly. The sick are doing very nicely, with the exception of Sister Bettie Robinson, she is very sick. Mrs. Annie Arch was called to Oklahoma City, to the bed-side of her sick sister Inst week. If you want true facts just read THE NEGRO STAR, and keep smiling. The big Thanksgiving Dinner that was given at Sister Farr's residence, November 25th for the benefit of the Church was fine and was a success.

The educattional em- phasis of the felr revealed that pro- longed school terms, better school houses with efficient teachers and other movements such as the Tuske- gee Annual Negro Farmers’ Confer- ence are wital factors in helping the rural success of Negroes to realize the agricultural posstbilties for them. It was evident that there was a growing desire for better livestock and growing of ample food products for the home, Devices, beautifying the homes and saving steps of tho woren in the homes, created much comment, Tuskegee’s influence In helping the Negro to express himself through sorgs was again accentuated.

This fair will be an annual event, Such features helping the rural and urban masses of Negroes to help themselva, families and communities, will be the outstanding signs of the: Negro’s progress in the agricultural districts of this section.
