NERVE ENOUGH TO TAKE A STAND FOR TRUTH L. 13 F O 49 THE SOUTH WAILING. (By The Negro Associated Press.) Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 18—Hoorer Alexander, United States, District Attorney for the northern district of Georgia, has stirred the entire state, and attracted the attention of the entire nation. He has recently been making a series of statements in language that cannot be misunderstood, deploring and denouncing the lawlessness in certain sections of Georgia. Because of these statements, regardless of the fact that they are filled with truth, a number of newspapers of the south have taken Mr. Alexander to task. They have accused him of playing o get favor with the Republicans, so as to retain his office. He has come back with a statement that the position is not "lucrative" as money goes these days, and that he has only withheld his resignation for the last year through loyalty. He reports with the statement that if those who criticize him will "let me tell them a few of the things that are going on, they also would be horrified, and instead for following the weight of their paper in favor of the disgraceful things that are going on, unwhipped of justice, they will join in my protest. The Macon News, daily comes back with a reply, which plainly shows that there are sections of the white South where it is not desired that the truth be known, regardless of how horrible conditions may be, there are those who wish to shut their eyes to the terrible lawlessness, and even when a brave official and respected white citizen like District attorney Alexander comes to the front, they whish to put "cotton in his mouth." After paving this high tribute to Mr. Alex- His Work was not in Vain. By The Negro Associated Press Chicago, Feb 18.—The Methodist Episcopal churches throughout the world celebrated the birthday anniversary of Abraham Lincoln last Sunday. The special object of the program as always, was to acquaint the people with the progress of the Negro in America, and to emphasize the value of Christian education. The program, as arranged, was sent out by the Board of Education for Negroes, of which Dr I. Garland Penn, is one of the secretaries. The program was called "The New Road" but a careful reading of the special addresses clearly indicates that what was really meant was "The Negro." There has never before appeared such a magnificent presentation of the cause of racial justice. The outside illustration on the program shows a splendid looking Colored young man, with a book under his arm, walking sturdily up the hill of Progress. It is an inspirational picture, and when it is realized that this program was prepared for the white churches as well as Colored, the tremendous Merchants Who Advertise in a Race Paper, Desire Your Patronage—Give Them a Trial. under: "Mr. Alexander holds a high office and when he speaks a treat deal of importance is attached to what he says. He is a man of culture and intelligence. He does not belong to "radical" school." The Macon News makes this visit: 'If Mr. Alexander could have seen the two columns heading on the front page of the New York Tribune which featured the publication of the story in New York city he would have had a rather different idea, and it was just a course which led to the comments made in the Macon News. The New York Tribune has many merits, but it is one of the most virulent and unreasoning critics of the South we have in this day and time. It has a tradition behind it which makes it the principal fair of the old time abolitionists and it never overlooks an opportunity to lambaste the South. There are several other such papers in the North. There is the Boston Transcript for example, which has not written a line that was fair and just to the South for a generation. It still lives in the days of Uncle Tom's Cabin. It wakes up every morning with a sub-conscious feeling that it ought to send a reporter around the corner to report a speech by Wendell Phillips or William Lloyd Garrison. There can be no possible doubt as to the loyalty of Mr. Alexander to the South and to its old-time institutions but it is entirely possible that he does not always stop to weigh his words. His statement, given out to the "Local press" which means that it was probably cabled around the world gives a very erroneous expression of conditions in the South, and if Mr. Alexander is candid with himself he must know that better than his critics."

Vicksburg boasts of a Negro section of the State Federation of Labor The organization has been perfected and its membership extends throughout the state. value of it may be appreciated. The program endorses this statement from one of our own group who said: "The Negro wishes to be an American citizen, with full American opportunities. This is a very fundamental fact in the Race adjustments today. This desire has been driven deep down into the hearts of all Negroes, even the workingmen on the street. The Negro people gradually rising to a consciousness of what it means to be free, begin to question every step and every statement that raises any issuet over their full-fledged opportunity to be free. The Negro people have been misunderstood a great deal as clamoring for some special privileges for themselves. But they simply want things applied to others." WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, FEB. 18, 1921. MARKED IMPROVMENT IN METHODISM (By The Negro Associated Press.) New Orleans, La., Feb. -The fifty-third session of the Louisiana Annual Conference, Methodist Episcopal Church, held in Mt. Zion Church Rev. B J Reddix, pastor, Bishop Robert E Jones, D. D., L. L D presiding The history of this conference is unique in Methodism. Fifty three years ago when it was organized by the late Bishop Thompson, in Wesley Church, Liberty street, it consisted of twelve Negro men, not one of them being able to read or write. As a result of this humble beginning, however the work has grown to such an extent that there are now two conferences in Texas and Mississippi, whose holdings in church property amounts to several millions of dollars with a church membership of 80,000 and more than 100,000 Sunday School scholars. The twelve founders in these fifty of more years have increased to more than 700 ministers. Bishop Jones, the first Negro bishop elected in the Methodist Episcopal Church, was given charge of this a succeeding Bishop W. P. Thirkield, who served eight years. Bishop Joseph C. Hartwell, who began work here fifty-one years ago, and the first editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, war present Leeding churchmen visited the conference and spoke among them being Dr. E. Robert Ziring, editor of the Northwestern Advocate, Chicago; Clarence True Wilson, secretary of the board of prohibition, temperance and public morals, Washington, D.C.; I. Garland Penn, secretary of the board of education for Negroes, Cincinnati, Ohio; L. King, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate and A. C. Hughes, board of home missions and church extension. Governor John M. Parker also spoke. Chicago, Feb. 18.—Vice President elect, Calvin Coolidge, according to authentic reports, felt a chill go up his spine when the statement he made about white southerners being the best friends of the Negroes, was met with rigid and frigid indifference. The psycology of this notable event is very popular, and is worthy of explanation. There is no American who has been more admired for his honesty of purpose and fearlessness in the cause of justice, than Gov. Coolidge, solar as Colored Amer- Says the address, "Like leaven this consciousness is spreading among the twelve million Negroes in the United States and it is bound to affect all future decisions as to his status educationally, politically, and religiously, to say nothing of his position as a neighbor to a child, whether white or black." "The Methodist Episcopal church has sensed our position," said a prominent leader, "and from this pathway of justice none of us can, nor should we be expected, to turn." HAPPENINGS IN THE LEGISLA TURE. By W. E. Freeman. Topeka, Feb. 9th—The utter failure of the Kansas court of industrial relations, practically admitted by Governor Henry J. Allen in his special message urging the legislature to separate the court from the public utilities commission, was revealed completely when Judge W. L. Huggins gathered 42 members of the house of representatives together in the court's hearing room and told them of the court's activities during the first years of its existence. And now the people of the state have the word of both Governor Allen and Judge Huggins that the court has failed. On this point the two men most prominently and most conspicuously connected with the establishment of the court are in perfect harmony—they admit the court has failed. But they disagree as to its failure. Governor Allen, in his special message, said, the court had failed because it was overworked with utility cases. Put Judge Huggins insisted it had failed because the governor has insisted upon using it as a political hook, and it was because of his determination to tell the legislators of this that Judge Huggins gathered them together in the court room and talked to them for three hours after the governor's lieutenants had successfully prevented the house extending the privileges of the floor to lans are concerned. The silence of that great Atlanta audience was not scorn, hatred, nor incidence. The silence was due to disappointment, pity and thoughtfulness. All the records go to prove that ninety-nine out of every one hundred northern white people who go South and come under the hypnotical influences of the crafty southerners, who cleverly and designedly seek to impress their point of views on the visitor come away "sold." "The Associated Negro Press could renumeate hundreds of instances, and there is in mind the case of a nationally prominent white editor who but recently, was there, and who was brought under the same influence, but refused to be sold." How delighted the white South is over compromising statements like Gov. Coolidge made is expressed typically in an editorial from the Charlotte, N. C. Observer, daily. It says: "The day before he departed from Atlanta for Asheville, Vise-President-elect Coolidge was invited to make an address in a Negro church. The invitation was accepted and the visitor delivered himself of a point bit of advice. He told the Negroes that "the white people of the North have done much in money and educators sent them." but the people of the South have done even more than that. He advised the Negroes to bear this fact in mind and to "appreciate the work of their white neighbors in their behalf." Doing that and making, conscientious effort on their own part to better their condition, was Mr. Coolidge's idea of the best thing for the Negroes of the South. The Vice-President-elect appears to have a fine sense of the opportunity at hand to say something of real benefit to the Negroes, and now that they have had this advice from a man they know must be their friend they should be inclined to give it serious thought. Mr. Coolidge's words were few but they encompassed a mighty truth." N. A. A. C. P. TO RAISE MEMBERSHIP TO QUARTER OF A MILLION BEFORE NEXT JUNE. James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today announced that the association was about to enter upon a drive to increase its membership to 250,000 before next June. In making the announcement Mr. Johnson made public the fighting programme which the Association had adopted for the coming year. Mr. Johnson's statement follows: "A quarter of a million people is a force which cannot be ignored labor in the South, nor the newspapers, can ignore a quarter of a million colored and white people determined that (Continued on page four) Judge Huggins went into the details of the court's activities at great length. He told how he had spent a whole month of his time—for which the tax payers are paying him $5,000 a year—going about over the country making speeches and doing propaganda work for the court. He himself used the word propaganda and he said that the governor had urged him to go out over the state and into other states and tell the people what a wonderful success the court was proving so that other states might take up his scheme and so that it would have a more solid backing from the people of Kansas. Yet, while he was making these speeches he must have known of the court's failures that he now tells about just as the governor must have known of those he tells about when he urged Judge Huggins to go out and make his speeches. In his talk before the legislature, the presiding judge of the court did not deny that he had signed 285 orders giving rate increases to the public service corporations and that he had taken part on only 28 labor hearings during the year. He rather boasted of the fact that this had been done and said he was proud of the records which showed that in all of the 285 rate-hiking orders all three of the judges had agreed except in three instances. Hungins Admitted Money Wasting The members of the legislature were told by the presiding judge that $4,000 of the people's money was spent in making a survey of the coal industry. He said he would have to admit that he thought too much money was spent on this, but that nevertheless, it was spent. And he did not even attempt to point out one benefit derived by the people from this so called survey. Then he admitted that the employees and at least one of the judges were so reckless with the funds of the court that it became necessary to warn them to be careful of their expenditures and later when this warning was ignored it became necessary to formulate a rule which forbade the spending of money except upon a written order. He admitted that members of the court had made trips at the state's expense that produced no results or benefits to tax payers. And he admitted that one member of the court spent so much money on political telephane and telegraph messages that it became necessary to call a halt and thus prevent an empty treasury. Not only this, but he went into details in telling how Governor Allen tried to pay a political debt to Charles Holbrook, of Kansas City, Kansas, by having him placed on the court's pay roll as a detective in the cool fields. "I called this political graft and would not stand for it," he said. "Neither would Judge Wark stand for it when Holbrook appeared and said the governor had told him to come up and go to work, and then Judge Reed pointed his finger at Judge Wark and told him the governor expected him to take care of this man and that he would be making a mistake if he did not do so." Judge Huggins said the governor wanted Hobbrook put on the pay roll at a salary of $200 a month and in addition wanted the court to pay his traveling expenses. While telling the members of the (Continued on page four.) PRICE. FIVE CENTS CAPT. W. L. HUTCHERSON WAS A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION. Nearly 300 Men Heard His Speech Sunday Afternoon. A Mixed Audience Enjoyed The Speech Monday Evening. One of the finest audiences of men met at Calvary Baptist Church at 3:00 p. m. Sunday to witness a short local program and hear Capt. W. L. Hutcherson, that we have ever seen in the city. In the absence of Pastor, Rev. S. B. Butler, Rev. J. E. Douglass offered a fervent prayer. After we had listened to quite an effective song service conducted by Prof. E. M. Barnes and heard the Scripture read by Dr. G. G. Brown, gave a short synopsis of the "Y" and its work and possibilities, he then presented Dr. N. D. Briley, the president of the Board, who gave a splendid talk on the "Y," the common people, their loyalty to all religious works, the benefit the "Y" would be to offset the environments of evil that is confronting our young people. On behalf of the ministers of the city, Dr. E.T. Fishback, took his oratory flight, which was filled with truths and encouragements for the work. The harmonious and well rendered solo by Mr. J. C. Cowan, was an enjoyable feature, with Mrs. Ora Carter at the piano. Much praise for Mr. E. C. Rucker's Orchestra, which rendered such excellent service. Very effective introduction of Capt. W. L. Hutcherson was made by Atty. Jas. A. Spears, as his friend and an effective Christian Worker among men. Capt. Hutcherson proved to be master in his line and in a very straight-forward and thoughtful way gave us "The Fundamental Needs of a Y. M. C. A." He had us to see our duty to the organization, the results of the organization and his aim to carry out only the fundamental principles of the Organization. Without flowery words, he was effective and peruaasive in his reasoning. Our men acted like men and gave liberally to help in the expense of his trip. Dr. Hyde expressed himself as being well pleased with the enthusiastic audience and Capt. Hutcherson Mr. Black, Secretary of Central Branch, expressed himself as being pleased also. Master James Taylor had us to know the Hi-Y boys were with the "Y" and that Capt. W. L. Hutcherson "Knew the Stuff." At St. Paul A. M. E. Church, again Dr. G. G. Brown acted as Master of ceremony. Opened with splendid songs and a fervent prayer. Editor H. T. Sims, extended a few words on behalf of business men of the city, representing over 60 business and professional men. Mrs. F. O. Miller was it her best in representing the Women's Federation, brought much applause for her cordial, forceful welcome. The choir made us feel happy and proud of it for excellent service. Mrs. Thomas Fines, so sweetly sang a solo: "The Cry of Rachel." Editor W. A. Bettis scored many hits in his short talk, causing appluses one after the other. Dr. Pope of Denver, Colo., spoke very effectively on co-operation and showing what wonderful work the "Y" can do. Capt. W. L. Hutcherson, the principal speaker, was introduced by Dr. G. G. Brown with much wit and humor, who spoke from the subjects: "Christ Alone can meet the Fundamental Needs of Human Nature." From the expressions he made on us and we hope we made on him, we are looking forward to him as our future Secretary. Men, we call on you to help save the boys, who must be men. Mesdames G. G. Brown and C. L. Childs have the girls on the upward march, they are only asking that the boys do something or get out of the way so they can. Young Miss Brown represented them in a short talk at the close. TUBERCULOSIS WORSESINCETHEWAR. Development of tuberculosis in former soldiers who were gassed in action during the world war has increased at a startling rate in the last few months, according to reports of the director of civilian relief of the Southwestern Division, American Red Cross at St Louis. Prosperity and high wages that prevailed from the close of the war until the recent past caused hundreds of former soldiers throughout the Southwest to neglect proper treatment afforded them by the government in order to fill positions that paid the unusual compensations of the post war period. This resulted in the development of chronic bronchitis which is now running to tuberculosis in a mounting proportion of cases. Needs of ex soldiers for assistance in obtaining vocational training compensation for wounds and disability, and hospitalization have mounted with Both Parties are Playing the Scorning Game. (By Associated Negro Press) Houston. Texas, Feb 18. There are signs which point to the danger of the Colored voters, in this city, capturing the machinery of the local Democratic Party. The present primary election is the innocent cause of the situation. And so acute is the probability that local Democratic leaders have taken serious steps' to bring about annulment of the law. This fact was brought to light last Monday morning in the court room of Judge Charles E. Ashe where eminent council contended that the city had no legal right to bear the expenses of the scheduled primary electinn for the ninth of February. Ordinarily the primary law would have been allowed to go its way. But recently local Colored leaders have shown a marked disposition to forsake the Republican ranks and affiliate with the Democratic organization. Lily-Whitism is said to be at the bottom of the desire. This fact was pushed out into the limelight at last Monday's hearing before Judge Ashe. Several Colored men confessed that they were bent on going into the primaries to make a fight for recognition and a voice in government by throwing their support to such Democratic candidates as has shown a disposition to give the Negro a fair chance. The Democratic primary has been heretofore purely a white man's primary and as it operates here and in other Southern states, has been practically the real election day, all actual issues being fought out in the primary. Colored voters sought an injunction seeking to restrain any interference in their voting in the primary and the democrats moved to annul the law, claiming that the primary was illegal, Messrs. J. B. Grigsby, C. F. Richardson, Jr., C. N Love, W. L. Davis, M. Nickerson, Jr., Norman Dudley, Jr., and Perry Mack were leaders in the movement. Not a few Democratic leaders would be glad of Negro support if it were not for the fear that the Colored leaders would finally take advantage of the power of a majority vote and thereby capture the Democratic organization. This is too bitter a pill to swallow even by influence. Hence there has been a cry sent out from Macedonia and Judge Ashe has been called upon to come forward with help to hold back the impending "nigger flood." It is expected that he will render a decision which will determine the present primary law unconstitutional and therefore unprecedented rapidly since last June, the report of the Director of Civilian Relief Shows. The total number of cases handled at St. Louis headquarters, which embraces Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas, for the month of December 1920 stood at 10,500, as against 7,7000 in June, an increase of more than 40 per cent in the half year; and of 66 per cent over December 1919 when a monthly total of 6,600 cases were handled by the home service department of the division. This is largely due, according to the report, to the break in the demand for labor and the high wages that were paid. Former soldiers of the Southwest who neglected to take advantage of the benefits due them by the government for disability are now turning to these agencies by the thousands with the advent of low wagea and small demand for labor. inoperative. If he has the "nerve" to do this the State Supreme court will upnold the decision on "for the public good" grounds and time save, for the passing moment, the already besmeared face of "white supremacy" in the city of Houston. The Colored citizens were represented at the hearing by R. D. Evans, a Colored lawyer of Waco. As a Body, The Negro is Contending for His Rights. The Judge is Called In to Hold Them Back. Chicago, Feb. 18. - A strong, concerted effort was made before the United States R. R. Labor Board at Chicago in the interest of the Colored railway employees, recently. Discriminatory contracts and misapplied seniority rules were vigorously assailed by the representatives of our Race organizations in the persons of R. L Mays of the Railway Mens's International association, Onie Long of Birmingham of the National Order of Locomotive Firemen and President John H. Elland of Memphis, Tenn. of the Association of Colored Trainmen. Each organization was in support of a demand for an abrogation of the existing national agreements where the same prevented the craft advancement of Colored men and women in railway service. The cases as presenting were the results of a month conference between the Colored leaders who were in daily attendance at the session of the Board and who had been given full rights to appear and present evidence on the matter of rules and working conditions of the railway employees. Following an excellently prepared brief by Mr. Eiland. President Mays and President Long of the Colored locomotive firemen, submitted rules for all classes of the mechanical and shop employees. The representatives were accorded the unusual honor of being openly complimented by certain members of the Board and many of the able attorneys and spectators present at the hearing. President Mays virtually placed Mr. Forrester of the Board on the witness stand and proved that the white organizatizations were discriminatory by a speech Mr. Forrester had made while at Atlantic City in 1919, after Mr. Forrester had sought to establish as a fact that the white shop unions werr fair. The plea made by all organizations was for "open opportunity" irrespective of Race or color, Rules which would grant a square deal to all railroad men were read into the official proceedings and made a part of the record. Chicago, Feb. 18. -Lure of Chicago caberets that called a 19-year old white girl away from the home where she was the protege of a Detroit millionaire, and made her a bandit queen in the Vincennes hotel, culminated in a police search for "Peggy Reed." Thomas Jones, Colored, arrested as he was looting the name of Miss. Dora Levine told the police the story. "Peggy Reed," he said, "is 19 years old and very good looking. She was reared by a Detroit millionira, who took her from an orphanage when she was 10 years old. She lived in Detroit until two years ago, when she came to Chicago to visit friends. Jones said he did not know the name of the Detroit millionaire, who had been "Peggy's" guardian. The name Reed is believed ficticious. One night, Jones said, the girl told him she and her friends visited the "black and tan" cafes and caberets of the South side, "Peggy" became dazzled by the bright lights. Shortly after returning to Detroit she ran away and came back to Chicago. Since that time, Jones continued, she had been living on the Southside, of the places that lured her into their midst, and a leader in a series of robberies in which the total loot was valued at between $60,000 and $75,000. Jones confessed to being the girl bandit's first lieutenant He pamed and hinted out more than 100 places robbed byhim, he savs, at her orders. To the Summerdale police he is known as the "bedroom burglar," because he stole clothing and jewelry from sleeping apartments while their owners were in other rooms. Usually the robbery took place during the supper hour while they were at table. A part of the loot-that in Jones' possession has been recovered, and most of it identified, by its owners. Jones said that the girl took most of the process of his robberies, pawned the booty and kept the money. "She said she had the money in a safe-deposit vault, and we'd divide when we had a pile." Views on Shoot-to-Kill Police Orders. Chicago, Ill., Feb. 18.—"The cry for public hangings, for more numerous executions, for more drastic shoot-to-kill police orders is a much more cowardly mob it than that which inspires lynchings in the South." said Dr. William J. Hickson, speaking at the Y. M. C. A. business men's luncheon. "At least the lynchers go out and do the job themselves. But here the howl for more legal murders, inspired by the same mob fear and by nothing more constructive or remedial than mob fear, results in the hysterical ones remaining in their swivel chairs and paying somebody else to do the job. "The time is dawning, however when our present attitude towards our criminals will be considered as grewsomely farcical as we now regard the ideas that inspired the burning of witches and the hanging of animals. The world is slowly entering upon an approach to scientific sanity concerning its own ills. The mob fear is going to find it harder and harder to rule the state." "The time is also coming when the reform hysteria produced by the embittred desire of incompetents and impotents to prevent their neighbors from enjoying things which they themselves are incapable of enjoying, will receive its true psychopathic rating and laughed Our Job Department We are prepared to take care of all kinds of JOB PRINTING---Prompt Deliveries and Quality Work Guaranteed.
