THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE WHAT WILL THE INCOMING ADMINISTRATION DO? IS THE QUESTION. VOL.13NO.48 May ask advice of Negro Leaders. (By The Negro Associated Press.) Washington. D. C., Feb 4 - The question of the Colored man being appointed by the incoming administration will not down. There is considerable squirming by the leaders on the matter but it still remains one of the vexing problems of the present political situation. President-elect Harding, as yet, has given no indication of his probable attitude in this matter of Negro appointments. It is not even known here whether he has been approached concerning the disposition he will make of the question when it is brought to his official attention as the President. In a very general way he has already agreed that the Negro is part and parcel of the entire body politic. But he has given utterance to no specific intention of what he intends doing for the Colored-man-and-brother when he comes to distributing the political plums of his administration. There is said to be" a considerable number of intelligent, well educated Colored men-many of them in Washington-who will urge President Harding to follow in the footsteps of Theodore Roosevelt in making his appointments of black men to office." Whatever this may mean nobody in particular appears to know or care. What the wise ones want is "jobs" with small regard for either the ethical or social elements in the way of their getting them. William K Taft has sounded what many believe to be a solemn warning to the incoming administration. He has said, rather flatly that the Colored leaders themselves should call a halt to all demands that seek to procure Federal appointments for Colored men in the South. While it may seem rather far-fetched to interpret Mr. Taft's gratuitous advice to Colored men as a warning to Mr. Haring, nevertheless it amounts to the same thing because our worthy ex-President knows full well that his advice to the Colored group has fallen in dead places. A well fed rumor is prevailing here that Mr. Harding intends taking into his confidence a limited number of the Colored leaders before he finally disposes of this vexing question.

Stevens, B. D. pastor, First Baptist Church Eskridge, Kansas. It pleases me very much to be able in the year of 1921 to write on this sinful craze among our people. I am sure that I will be criticised by a class of people who believe in dancing, and perhaps by a few ministers who have stopped preaching against it for fear he will lose the presence of the young people, however, I am willing to stand it for the cause of Christ. I note through the daily press that President-Elect Warren G. Harding of the U. S. A., a devoted Missionary Baptist, a Christian gentleman, has proclaimed to the world that he would not accept nor participate in the National Inaugural Ball. I am sure that he will be criticised for it, but I am satisfied that he is willing to suffer for the Cause of Christ and the entire world—a true Christian is willing and ready to do what is right regardless to his earthly position. There are dance halls scattered through all the great cities and night after night, these halls are crowded with droves of young people in their early teens. The so-called chaperonist is very largely a farce. The evil effect of the close contact with the sex in the vulgar modern dances, is manifesting itself everywhere. The dance has invaded the public high schools and school buildings throughout the nation are being used as dance houses. Many school teachers, who ought to have a higher grade of intelligence and better standard of morals are encouraging and leading the dance craze among the young people in high schools. The teen age is adangerous age, it is a time when young people have but little experience in serious phases and facts of life. It is a time when their animalism gets the victory over conscience and reason; when hearts and ruined lives wall out of their agony: O, I did not think—Thoughtfulness is characteristic of youth. I note that a very strong man of the East said that nintty per cent of the girls who go to ruin and then to destruction, get their start from the dance. The time has come when ministers and people ought to rally their forces against this menace. Let every church-member divorce themselves forever from this great evil. Then let every woman in the church learn a proper scorn and contempt for the shamless dressing and partial nudity so common now in society. Then they will wield a more salutary and saying influence upon the Atlanta received With Applauses Hand-shakes. (By Associated Negro Press) Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 4.—The Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson, the Georgia member of the Republican National Committee, fullfilled his promise made in an interview with a representative of the Associated Negro Press that he would return to Georgia and reiterate the charges which he had made before the Senate committee investigating preconvention campaign expenditures when he returned to Atlanta and addressed a meeting of the Republican State Central Committee on Friday, January 21, 1921. In his testimony before this investigating committee, Mr. Johnson testified that 85 percent of the Colored citizen of Georgia, who are entitled to vote under the laws of the State, are disfranchised by Democratic intrigue and intimidation. He then became the object of debate in tho "white primary" fight between the political forces of the vitriolic Tom Watson and Clark Howell, editor of the Atlanta Constitution, in which odious comparisons were made by Tom Watson between the two national committeeen in favor of the Republican. "Dame Fumor" then had it that Mr. Johnson was afraid to return to Georgia and when interviewed by the Associated Negro Press," he declared that he would return to Georgia and say the very things there that he had said in Chicago and that he would extend an invitation to the editors of certain daily papers that had been bitter in their demunciation of him to be personally present and have representatives there that they might hear his remarks. Mr. Johnson returned to Atlanta on the evening of January 20. He had been away since the last of May; and when he put in his appearance at the meeting of the state committee on the next day wild applause greeted him and rules were suspended while the members of the committee-white and black and the several hundred visitors in attendance at this meeting crowded around to shake hands with him.

Hall. All PRICE, FIVE CENTS noon his address caused storm of applause. In the course of his address he stated, "I reserve to myself the right to form my, conclusions about politics and the conduct of political parties, and when I advised friends in a distant city that practically 85 per cent of the Negroes in Georgia were disfranchised, I spoke the truth." With reference to lynching he remarked, They (refering to the press) said I said something about lynching. It stands to the disgrace of any state that suffers it and let mob murders go unpunished. Greater than the question of the tariff, greater than the question of our relationship under the leagues of nations with Jugo-Slavia, is the absolute safety of the guarantees under the constitution that every man's life shall be a safe and never to be taken away except by due process of law. Taking up the matter of his residence in Washington he said, "Yes, if you want to know why I am in Washington—I am right there and purpose to roost right on the ankles of Congress—the Congress that will be convened by Warren G. Harding. President of the United States—until that Congress writes on the statute, books a law to put the hang man's rope around the neck of any man who would place their rope around the neck of any man of whatever hue without the due process of law. Thank God we are going to live under a President who invoked the Almighty God to witness his committal, when Warren G. Harding, at Marion, Ohio, on the 22nd day of July, asked God to witness that he pledged himself when he became President to use influence to place on the statute books a law making mob violence in this country. With reference to the Ku Klux Klan which was recognized at Stone Mountain, Ga. just twenty miles from Atlanta, in 1915, and chartered by the State, he said. "Incidentally the Republican party is going to pay a little attention to the Ku Klux Klan. I have the petition already framed, and when the Senate convenes on the 5th day of March to confirm the cabinet nominations of President Harding-I have the petition to go the Postmaster General to ask him to refuse the use of the United States mails to the Ku Klux Klan. Oh, Go, I Why give legal immortality to a criminal band like that that? It will not be; it is not going to be under a Republican administration." In attendance had an enjoyable time. The house was filled to its utmost. Mr. Davis' funeral was had at Quinn Chapel, Saturday at 11 o'clock. His many friends were out to pay their last tribute of respect. Rev.

By The Negro Associated Press Washinuton, Jan. 2%,—1 ne Announcement that S»nator Harding has called off inaugural festivities seems to have had lit- tle or no effect upon the gather. ing of notable Colored men and women in Washington for the Inangaration. Already the Woitelaw Hotel and other places of azzom nod ition hive reserved practically all of their iodging space and the residents of Washington are baing flooded with requests from out of town friends who planto be present. _ The Colored residents of Wash- ington whose praises have been sung for th e hospitable treat- ment accorded the great throng of visators here Thankegiving Day to attend the Howard-Lin- culn Football, Classic are again called upon to fete their many friends to attend the inauguration From all indications the larg- est mumber of Colored men and woman into politics and because of the larger part which Negro- es are playing inthe pulitical af- fairs of the Nation. Regardless ofthe thought that some would seek to spread that the Repablican lan Islide was due to other causes than the Negro vote, it is an acknuw- ledged fact that without the solid supportofths Negro vote many important States would have been lost by the Republi- ean Party. The Negrces of tnis country are not overlooking this important point in holding the Republican Pasty to its promise of larger recognition beneficial legislation fur the Negro in America.

Wichita, Kans. | OUR JOB DEPARTMENT Is prepared to take care of any kind of a job, All work done under guarantee, Try us. 4, Entered as second-class matter Juna 12th 1019, at the Post Office at Wichita, Kansas, under the Act of March 3, 1879.

If all the hair tongs were turned into instruments for working on the brain the Race's future would be brighter. We are straightening the wrong side—it is the inside that needs the straightening. Last Wednesday evening, we looked into the faces of 20 oud, hard working, and honest men, who will make things go. They mean to make this end of the town a commercial center. It can be done and nobody will be hurt. It only takes a set of men who are fair and trustworthy, backed up by a little money and plenty of common sense. We are proud of corporation, it means independence and Race development. If you come into this imagining that somebody is crooked, "you watch yourself and you will catch the crooked fellow." Your object is good so "go to it." There are persons in our own Race, who are far from Race ing and who speak with the voices of angels praising their s, but their ways and actions kill the sweetness of their voices. They are only loving when there is something coming to them. They mean well, but they are not strong enough to not well. So used to the white man telling them that this is the best, until they are only patronizers of Race Enterprises, when there is nowhere else to go. They think kindly of all Negro Business, but trade with the other fellow in order SOCIETY AND PERSONAL The G. L. A. Club held their meeting on last Tuesday afternoon with Mrs. M. Letcher. Mrs. Ed Ranson was quite a pleasant visitor and guest of honor, and made an interesting talk. A delicious luncheon was served and much enjoyed. They will meet next week with Mrs. A K. Lawrence The John Brown Literary society met Tuesday evening at the St. Paul A. M. E. church. The interest and attendance continues to increase. They had a well filled house, a highly entertaining program was rendered by the ladies of the G L. A. Club. Every one is invited to come out on next Tuesday evening. Miss Mary Hathmam who has been visiting in the city with her brother Mr. Ed Hathmam and family left Monday for Los Angeles, California. Mrs. Julia Carter of Dayton, Ohio is in the city. Mrs. M. S. Jones of Perry, Kansas is making a visit in the city. Mr. Clarence W. Herring of Lost Springs, Kansas is in the city. Mrs. Mary Shoves of Sedalia, Mo., is among the visitors in the city. G. A. Benning of Guthrie Oklahoma, is in the city. Mrs. Delilah McAdams entertained in a delightful manner on last Friday evening at her that they might let him know that they still want him to succeed, and this is our way of helping. What do you look for in return for you and your Race? It helps the other fellow to buy homes, enlarge business facilities, school their children, make homes happy and comfortable and regulate laws to govern you, who continue to pour in to them your strength. We know of an incident, sad as it is, where a woman of our Race, took her work to a man of her own Race, left the work and went to see the white man about prices, and their prices were the same, so she returned and carried the work to the white firm. How guilty are you in such transactions? Both firms were well prepared to deliver first-class work, but her choice was without any future for the Race. We guarantee you that she has some of the best plans to show how the Race ought to do, and more criticisms for their not being able to do, than any one else. You should do away with all plans for development or patronize those who are trying to keep a spark of hope burning in the commercial world. To develop a person ready and willing to start something, then to not help him, makes him say: "What's the use?" "Who is to protect me?" "Am I a failure, or is it my people?" Then the Race is classed with non-progressive, and you, who do not patronize Race Enterprises are the blame. home honoring Miss Mary Hath mon of Cinn., Ohio, an elegant Menu was served by the hostess The participants of this pleasant affair were: Mr. and Mrs. S W. Fieminsa, Mr. and Mrs. J D. Jona, Dr. and Mrs. G. G. Brown, Mr. and Mrs. E. Hathman, Mrs Davis of Atchison, Mrs M. L. Lester, Mrs S. W. Jones, Mrs. Chas. Childs, Misses M.

He had been in conference session at 15th St. M. E. Church While here he called in the Office to see old friends. Dr. Logan is a man of high business qualities and is looked upon as quite progressive. Mrs. R H. Taylor was in the Office Monday. She is one of the Gorine agents from the Gorine College now located in Memphis, Tenn. Mrs. M. Nolan let us know that she had not entirely forget us, by coming in Monday chatting a while. Mr. H. B. Gibson was in Winfield, and Arkansas City, a few days of this week. He is pushing the interest of The Star. Mrs. I. F. Bates was a business visitor of Monday last. We are glad to see her well again. Mr. Turner formerly of Green wood, Miss is now residing in the city and came to see us Saturday. Mr. W. G. Curtis was sadly called to Austin, Texas, on account of the death of his sister Mrs. Anna Curtis. The Negro star is very much in sympathy without friend in this sad hour Mrs O G.

Martin 1007, Indiana Ave., next Tuesday evening February 8th. Do you ever have any trouble with your eye lashes, and eye brows? To have heavy eye brows and thick eye lashes, improves our looks considerably CITY CHURCHES. Calvary Baptist. Sunday-school 9:30 a. m. Preaching 11:00 a. m. Morning-sermon preached by Rev. J. F. Green, the assistant pastor of Calvary Baptist Church. Theme, "A Christian's rest," found in Hebrews 13:14: Heaven a place for Christian to rest, of the beautiful things that have been said about heaven hardly compared with what the pastor said in this very eloquent sermon. He showed God's vineyard, forcefully pleaded for new workers; if a sinner could sit through a sermon like this and not feel remorseful, help him for the Christians cannot. Night sermon by the same Pastor. Theme: "Oh Sleeper." Jonah 6:1. A very explicit description of the city of Nineva and its surroundings; its wickedness; Jonah's mission; the sailors on board of the ship; casting lots as to who must be thrown off. This wonderful sermon was heard by a large and appreciative audience. New Hope Baptist Our bright girls and boys are continuing to go forward in the Sunday-school. Attendance and interest are on the upward trend. At eleven A. M., our minister, Dr. E. T. Fishback, using as a text Matt. 28:18-20. Subject: "The Socializing the Spiritual Side of Our Church," delivered a choice discourse. Members of the B. Y. P. U., delighted themselves in the First Psalms. The promises given those doing His will, encouraged the workers to love faithfulness. The congregation at the evening service, rejoiced to hear our minister take for a text Acts 1:8. He used for a subject: "The Spiritualizing the Social Side of New Hope." An excellent sermon was preached. and adds grace and youth to our appearance. There is one very important part in treating the eye lashes and that are out in the wind the lashes pick up a great deal of dirt, which is bad for them and bad far the eyes. There is a mild Antiseptic which is recommended for cleaning the eyes and that is boric and water. Use nothing but plain Vaseline or Olive Oil, clip them once a month also, and in six months you will have lashes just as you desire. The College Hill 400 Wish Club entertained at Mr. and Mrs. T. Fines, last Wednesday night. It was delightful affair every one enjoyed him or herself. The young people on College Hill are very much in the lead when it comes to enjoying themselves. Mr. W.

Southwestern Kansas Heard From Special To The Negro Star: Resurrected by a pargaraph written in a thrilling letter by the Editor of, The Negro Star, to our pastor, Rev, S.M. Smothers, which says: "Let the world know we are living and doing things"and let the people read it for their good to read and think. Since we are reckoned as being and living almost in isolation and not in touch with the electric world; yet we are an existence and are doing things in the 7th Congressional District of Kansas, Hodgiman County, 6 miles northeast of Jetmore, the county site—where you will find located the First Baptist Church, well filled with an intelligent membership of highly progressive people, with a graded Sunday School, it being one of the two in the entire County of Hodgiman, with Mrs. Ethel Bradshaw, a highly competent and progressive superintendent the head; and who aside from this has been selected for her superior knowledge and ability by the Kansas State Agricultural College, as poultry representative in this community. The Hodgeman County Extension School was held in our church auditorium, January 17, 18, 1921, presided over by Mr. T. E. Yost, county agent. Demonstrators on the men's side, were Mr. Willoughby and Mr. R. Rhodes. On the women's side, Mrs. Harriett W. Allard. Household management special K. S. A.

R. H. SIMMS FOOT SPECIALIST MANICURING AND PEDICURING BY LADY ATTENDANT "Limp In and Walk Out" ENTRANCES: 106 W. Elm 601 N. Main 'Phone M 612 Wichita, Kansas OPEN EVENING S The free luncheon each day served by the ladies with their elaborate table spreads consisting of natures best, right fresh from the markets of the earth, was so palatable that eulogies were spoken in laudable terms. It excelled even Fred Harvey, these first class, refined, educated people, mingled as one in our Race, two days, when hunger knew no segregation, race, creed or politics. The material prosperity of the people out here is simply amazing. Between 3,000 and 4,000 acres of land owned and operated by the colored people; with an average of more than 30 head of stock on each farm, with fowls innumerable and when the automobiles line up at church, you are reminded of Wabash Avenue, Wichita, Kansas. One of our number in the person of Rev. E. H. Lee has been given a position in the senate department in Topeka, during the legislature. Our public school located in District 13, with a good attendance is taught by Miss Mary Wood, who has the distinction of having a life certificate from from the State Normal School. We will give Prof. H. T. Sims, editor of The Negro Star, credit for waking us up to write the notes, and if he awakes all sections of Negroes as he has us, his paper will have an unbounded circulation among the people of the State. Thank you, Mr. Editor, we are coming from behind the sun in comparison with those who live and move under the electric lights of our popular growing cities and paved streets. Tell them all we are coming by moon and starlight. We are also coming matrimonially, nearly all of our eligibles are gone but Mr. Ralph Bradshaw and our widower pastor and they love to keep company with each other to keep down lonesomeness; we also add to this Mr Woodson Bradshaw, Mr. S. P. Gill and Harvey Board. So you see nearly all the well-to-do boys are getting scarce and there's talk of importing a few ladies to this rich center, because it will be too long to wait for the new crop to mature for matrimony.
