THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE --- TRYING TO FIND A WAY OUT WAS THE REAL PROBLEM. VOL 13 NO. 50 Honored Guests and Friends Visit Utica Normal & Industrial Institute. Dr. Geo. W. Carver confounds His Audiences With His New Discoveries. Today has been a great day for the farmers of Mississippi, it being their annual gathering at the Utica Normal and Industrial Institute, Utica, Mississippi, for the purpose of discussing their problems and trying to find a way out. The number and character of the men, present, alone, would have been sufficient to guarantee, the success of the gathering; but the server with which these people discussed their problems and the earnestness with which they sought to find solutions, will long be remembered by these present. Dr. Geo, W. Carver, the famous Tuskegee chemist, came over with his annual demonstration which always well high confounds his audiences. He had just returned from washington where he spoke before a joint committee of the House and Senate, on his discoveries regarding the peanut, and it will be remembered that his paper before this august body changed the opinions of the senators and representatives to such extent that certain legislations regarding southern states, underwent a radical charge. White friends came from far an near to show their appreciation of the work being done at the Utica Normal and Ind. Institute, and also, to hear this famous Negro chemist. While here, Dr. Carver had invitations to speak to various bodies in the state of Mississippi, but could accept only one or two owing to the fact that he was compelled to return to Alabama. In regard to the progress of Negroes, reports showed that the community surrounding The Utica Normal and Industrial Institute. Negroes have been steadily gaining in land ownership, for the past eighteen year; so that at the present time, about 3,000 acres of land are owned by them, and although this is small by comparison it still shows that commenbable progress has been made. William H. Holtzclaw, Principal of The Utica Normal and Industrial Institute, re-elgcted for the fifteenth time. President of the Utica (Mississippi)Negro Farmer's Conference, delivered an address to the farmers as usual, in which he gave wholesome advice. Among other things, he said that: "Negroes must get beyond the point where they simply hold their own—that it is not enough for a man to be so good that he has never been to jail, but that he must be of some account out of jail. He said further, that the farming element of the state of Mississippi must organize as other branches of industry are organized; that every community should organize a local farmer's conference; that WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, FEB. 25. 1921. school houses be constructed in every community and used as community centers, from which we should radiate all the best influence that can be brought to hear." Negroes must no longer look to their own interests, only—they must get into the world movement, and realize that helping themselves, even though commendable, is one thing and getting world problems and being a world helper is another. HOME BUILDING Again, I want to bring your attention to the necessity of Negroes becoming owners of land and builders of homes. The home is the unit of our American civilization. Without this urite, there can be no real civilization. For eighteen years, I have appealed to you as farmers, to take advantage of the opportunities to own land and build homes that have been ever present. Not a min here present today but could have a home if he would. In times of opression like that through which we have just passed, land values sink to a low level; and yet it remains true that this land can be bought without ready cash, nobody taking any particular risk. It seems to me, therefore, that a large portion of the Negroes might find impossible to secure a home. And those who already have land should improve it by planting fruit trees and taking care of them after the latest methods; and by planting shade trees, white washing out-houses, painting their dwellings; putting out shrubbery; and in these various ways, make their premises more like a real American home. In these homes, it will be possible for us to bring up children "in the way they should go." It seems to me that there is a tendency to which I wish to call attention; that is, of allowing children to come up in the way that they wish to, instead of bringing them up in the way that they should be brought. Much of the old fashioned manners, saturated with the courtesies, has beer forgout. I still believe in the old fashion "No mam" and "No Sir" in preference to the modern "Yes" and "No." Let it be nongrammatical, it is still provincial, and is a clear indication of the heart and the training behind it. "BE NOT DISCOURAGED" "Now before I came into this room, some one asked me to be sure to speak on the subject of "Discouragement," but you must have noticed that I have said nothing about discouragements so far I take it for granted we hear enough about that without coming here to discuss it today. The fact is, there is little need for us to be discouraged. I like to think that "God is in his Heaven, all's well with the world" TOO MUCH CRIMES "I am not blind to the trend of things—I am not forgetting all the gradations of crime that are noticeable from day to day, from petty thievery to crimes of the most atrocious kind, even to mob violence but I think some things will have (Continued on page two) Principal Moton and President-Elect Harding Hold Conference. (By The Negro Associated Press.) Montgomery, Ala., Feb Dr. Robert R. Moton, Principal of Tuskegee Institute, passed through here this morning enroute from St. Augustine Florida, where he held an important conference yesterday with President-elect Harding When asked concerning the conference Dr. Moton said: The interview had no political significance. In company with some representative southern white men, I went to tell Mr. Harding something of the movement for inter-racial cooperation, which has been organized in the South and which is gaining strength every day. Mr. Harding expressed himself as being in warmest apathy with the work of the Inter-facial commission, which is helping to bring about understanding and helpful cooperation between the races and the members of the party were very much impressed with the President-elect's ernestness and sincerity." It is understood that after Dr. Moton and members of the party had spoken frankly concerning some of the handisaps to thorough understanding between the races in the South and the efforts which representative white and Colored people are putting forth to remove them, Mr. Harding plunged freely into the discussion and expressed his appreciation of the remarkable advancement which the Negro has made along all lines since emancipation, as well as his desire to help encourage this progress. The Southern white men who accompanied Dr. Moton were Dr. W. W Alexander of the inter-racial Commission, Atlanta Georgia; Dr. M. Ashbie Jones, pastor of Ponce De Leon Baptist Church, Atlanta, Ga., John J. Eagan, banker and manufacturer, Atlanta, Ga., and T. T. Woofton, Jr., Pnelps-Stokes Fund, New York City. The Colored members of the party, in addition to Dr. Moton, were Warren Logan, Treasurer, Tuskegee Institute and A. I. Holsey, Secretary to the Principal, Tuskegee Institute. 1.

The Coronation Baptist Church and (Continued on fourth page.) American Negroes Are Wide Awake And 100% Efficient. Chicago. Feb.- With the formal inauguration of Warren G. Harding, of Ohio, President of the United States' at hand, it is appropriate and fitting to state certain facts. The first among these facts is this: American Negroes are quite wideawake on all things political and economic. They will not be "footballs" during the next administration, to be kicked around at will, but if there is to be a football game, they propose to be players and not the ball. That fact is established. There are two other important things: The American Negroes propose to be 100 per cent efficient in two respects where they have not functioned, heretofore, with the highest degree of success. These respects are, First, PUBLICITY. Second, ORGANIZATION. It requires money for both, and the decision is unanimous to supply all the "sinews of war" needed to "arrive"" Puesident Harding, himself, will be fair, tolerant, considerate, patient, diplomatic, earnest, sincere, even determined. He will not be spasmodic, he will not "wave the bloody shirt" in the face of the white South, and all who have any such dream of hopes may as well wake up. The President of the United States has tremendous power for good, or evil, and, his influence morely by a work or deed are almost unlimited. Woodrow Wilson harmed racial progress in America by sins of omission rather than commission. He failed miserably, as President, in saying or doing even small things, as things go with a president, to create letter feeling and relationship between the races. He knew, he was importuned, but he remained silent and indifferent. President Harding is surrounding himself with "master minds" and Colored Americans are looking carefully into this list to see "Who's Who." For example, they know that Congressman Bascon Slemp, of Virginia, who is getting high in party councils, is "hily white" in his acknowledged tendencies. He is a statesman that must be watched closely, he represents an element gaining influence in the South, an element dangerous to the Colored American's welfare—incidentally, he is on the committee for reorganization in the South, and has been mentioned for a cabinet place. But the "eyes of the people" are on Slemp, and if former President Taft, and Vice-President Coolidge can gather the feeling of the people in no uncertain terms, so can Slemp and all whom he represents. Harry M. Daugherty of Ohio, and Will H. Hays, of Indiana, will be the politicians of the new administration, with s-u-ch men as Senator McCormick of Illinois, Senator Watson, of Indiana, Senator New, of the same state and Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania, being an active part of the inner circle. There men know Colored people know, them. The Colored people will COLORED WOMEN THREATEN TO PICKET CONVENTION. not hesitate for one minute to take up with them all the big subjects of the day, and it is fair to say they will be given respectful hearing. For Colored leaders, regardless of what they have known of President Harding heretofore, will have the privilege of "getting to the President" personally. This will be no indication of his lack of interest, but it will be physically impossible for him to see everyone, therefore "big things" must be accomplished through representatives, George R. Christian, the President's secretary, will be available to a larger number, and will be a good second, as he is a splendid type of American manhood. President elect Harding has a comprehensive knowledge of the Negro, his problems, his weakness, his ambitions and his determinations. The President elect is not only a student of conditions, made so naturally through long newspaper experience, but he will enter the office as President with the largest personal acquaintance of race leaders that any President ever had before. With the new administration in power, the American Negroes are entering upon a new era of progress. It will not be "race horse progress."but it will be certain and lasting;it may be set with disappointments, difficulties, and evendistressing period, but a new day will dawn March Fourth Cherryvale, Kansas.

PRICE, FIVE CENTS MEN THREATEN MET CONVENTION. Aggressiveness of Colored Women in Demanding Recognition Excites National Woman's Party. (Special to The Negro Star) A delegation of one hundred colored women from all sections of the country assembled in Washington to bring the cause of the disfranchised women of the south before the coming Convention of the National Women's Party. In presenting their request that the National Woman's Party commits itself definitely to asking that Congress appoint a special committee to investigate the disfranchisement or women in violation of the 19th Amendment into southern states, this delegation waited upon Miss Alice Paul at the headquarters of the National Woman's Party of February 12th. Represent, as these women do, organizations from all parts of this country, the Memorial they presented must be given consideration by the National Woman's Party if all of the principles upon which the 19th Amendment to the Constitution is based to be enforced. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People made the call for the meeting of this delegation a and the delegates were organized by Mrs. Addie W. Hunton, Field Secretary of this Association. The Memorial was presented by Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, spokesman for the delegation, and is as follows: "We have come here as members of various organizations and from different sections representing the five million colored women of this country. We are deeply appreciative of the heroic devotion of the National Woman's Party to the Woman's Suffrage Movement and of the tremendous sacrifices made under your leadership in securing the passage of the Nineteeth Amendment. We revere the names of the pioneers to whom you will do honor while here, not only because they believed in the inherent rights of women but of humanity at large and gave themselves to the fight against slavery in the United States." The world has moved forward in these seventy years and the colored women of this country have been moving with it. They know the value of the ballot if honestly used to right the wrongs of any class. Knowing this, they have also come today to call your attention to the flagrant violations of the intent and purposes of the Susan B. Anthony Amendment in the elections of 1920. These violations occurred in the Southern States, where is to be found the great mass of colored women and it has not been made secret that wherever white women did not use the ballot, it was counted, worth while to relinquish it in order that it might be denied, colored woman.

Could a Cannibal do more with a human being than a southern mob? They roast him alive, they take his teeth, scull and other parts for Souvenirs; also make pictures of the lynched that they might remember the breaking of the law. Why can't this government go equally as far in the protection of human beings? They could have secret service men in every lynching scene,—getting teeth and anything that would mean substantial evidence to bring the law-breakers in direct face of justice by their own country for the future safety of all citizens.

Scripture lesson, St. John 9:1-26. The pastor introduced / the speaker, Dr. R. C. Ransom of New York City. He chose for his text St. John 9:25. "One thing I know, that whereas I was blind, now I ssa." Subject: "Testimony of consciousness," Among the many good things he said was—"After a man has told you about the different stars and planets, and many other things of Science and Philosophy you have galned nothing for the soul and why should one shout or boast over the deliverance of Daniel or of the Hebrew children or any other when he has not been delivered himself? But if I have been delivered myself then I can shout and give God the praise. Is your faith a blind one or a living one? You cannot answer by reading the Bible nor what the preacher says, but by what you know yourself goes to the Bible and compile the I knows. Among them you will find I know that I have passed from death unto life I know that my Redeemer liveth and I know that whereas I was blind now I see. Those who know these things were heard giving God the praise. 7:00 p. m., A. C. E., and they ask the presents of all each Sunday at 8:00 p. m. The choir again entered singing; "Holy, Holy, Holy." Open-hymn; "Must Jesus bear the Cross Alone?" Scripture lesson Rev. 15. Dr. R. C. Ransom was then presented and took as his text Gen. 47:8-9. First the speaker asked as did Pharaoh or Jacob. How long have you lived? Second, How much have you seen? Third, How much have you heard? Fourth, How much have you felt? Fifth, How much have you loved? Life has four dimensions:— Heilghth, breadth, depth and length. We pray that Dr. Ransom may live long to reach many more sermons like those. Again on Monday night, the house was filled to hear the wonderful lecture by the Dr. Ransom, subject: "The Golden Age." Invocation by Rev. Douglass, pastor of St. Mary Baptist Church, city, some of the many things said were—"We know what lies behind us, the spirit of restlessness prevails. Not only our nation but the whole world. We are not looking for a golden age of nations but of man. The age in which we live are materialistic. In what directions are the tides of humanity flowing? The white races say they are high tides and would like to know they are to flow on forever. As the tides of the whites recede those of the yellow race break in, while those of the yellow come in those of the darker races have begun to stir, and so far as the black race is concerned, it is day-break. When those men sat at the peace table to negotiate peace, we thought of it and prayed about it I hope. They said to the Japanese, the fact that you are here shows you are recognized. The Japs said, well, write it here. The Americans of African decent stand where they always stood; they are ready to give their last Dollar and to give their lives and sons' lives all under conditions. No Negro officers, no Negro regiments, no fight. We do not purpose to go to Belgium and France to fight and give our lives for that which we are denied at home. We the races of earth are not the people of the glorious past but of the glorius future. Whenever the Klu-klux put n the white sheet to parade the streets of New York, I do not say we will shoot the Klu-klux but we will shoot the sheet." And many more good things I wish I had the time and space to tell you about. Rev. Matt. Jones of Friend, made remarks; also Rev. J. E. Douglass, Rev. H. H. Edmond and Rev. J. G. Cause, all of the city. Hutchinson, Kansas. Special for The Star:— Please let me have space to say a few words:— I attended the Board Meeting the 17th at Arkansas City. We had an excellent session; Rev. Wood cared for us so very nicely and they helped me in my district work. We left there for home, on the way, stopped over in Wichita, where we met a whole-soul Christian man and woman in person of Bro. and Sister H. T. Sims who made us feel at home and cared for us while in their city. O how nice Sister Sims is, if only half of the women were like she is, we could easily take this world for Christ. God said He gave woman for help-mete and she is up to the standard does not leave a stone unturned to make things pleasant for you. Too, they are rearing an adopted boy and he is so smart, is as sharp as a brlar. This is surely an act of charity on their part. Everybody ought to subscribe for The Negro Star only $1.50 a year. They are over-run with work and short of help—where are the young men and young women who like business? They have a lady help, Mrs. Johnson, who is a fine woman, God help such good people. On Sunday I attended S. School, church and B. Y. P. U., at, Calvary Baptist Church; Rev. S. B. Butler is a fine preacher. I did not preach to his people but hope to have the opportunity to meet them again as I should like so to do. The Sunday School helped me and mission work, $1.50, the church gave me $5.25. May God bless them all and help May God bless them all and help Bro. Sima and his companion. I left Sunday night the 20th for home, found everthing all right and my wife well and happy. Pray for me.

After this they gave the Mission Circle $5 67. This is a giving congregation. Sunday Mt. Moriah Baptist Church pastored by Rev. J. H. Ablenatha, at 1429 N. 12th Street had a grand baptizing and at night Communion. Miss Lucille Schwartz, U. S. Sims, Mr. and Mrs. Stubbs, Mr. and Mrs. Fairs, were dinner guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Stewart, Sunday afternoon and had a delightful time; they all pledge to be back again. ary =
