THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE VOL. 13 NO. 51 Negroes Take Care of Themsleves Tries To Base Trouble On The usual Untrue Story. (By The Associated Negro Press) Springfield, Ohio, March 18.— The attempt of a drunken policeman to maltreat a Negro who did not get cut of his way quick enough, when ordered to step off the sidewalk by the officer, caused the death of the policeman and about eighteen other black and white citizens last Friday night. Rioting continued through the night but quiet was restored in the early morning hours after the militia had been called to the scenes of strife and the streets fortified with machine guns. It was in the early evening time when the fighting began. No one seems to have a clear idea of how the trouble started. It was confined wholly in the Negro district, where it began, and is believed to have had its origin in a series of minor clashes that have occurred between police officers and alleged rowdy Negroes during the past few weeks. The killing of the policeman was the culmination of these smaller fights. Before the Friday night clash had continued for large crowds of whites joined the officers called to the Negro district to quell the rioting. The Negroes regarding the invasion of the district as an effort to punish them for the results of the riots of two years ago, resisted arrest and calmly engaged the police and their allies in the sanguinary street battle which lasted through the entire night. Several attempts to dynamite homes of the Negroes were frustrated by them. One white man discovered in the act of placing a bomb near the residence of a Negro was roughly handled but was rescued by the police after a desperate battle in the course of which several combatants were severely wounded and as many more killed. The police department declare that the origin of the trouble is to be traced to an attempted rape on a young white girl by a Negro several days ago. This is stoutly denied by Negro citizens of all classes who declare that the police have been assiduously seeking to create trouble in the Negro district for political reasons. There has been no serious recurrence of the rioting since order was restored by the National Guard last Saturday morning. The public resorts ordered closed by Mayor Wescott are, in the majority of cases, still shut. There is no general fear that the rioting will be resumed. Adds Another Case To His Record. (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., March 18.-H. H. Patterson, one of the leading colored lawyers of this city, won a notable case in Judge Brother's court a few days since. On the 12th of September, 1918, Edith Jones, a seven year old colored child was instantly killed by a wagon owned by the McInnery Brothers. The jurv sitting on the case rendered a verdict of $7,500 in favor of the girl. Seeing the President (By The Associated Negro Press) Saying the President of the United States of America is a privilege, any way you take it. It arouses varied emotions in any red blooded individual. It stirs up the wells of patriotism, and makes one say with Daniel webster. "Tnank God I am an American." For a long, long time the President has been a man of mystery Not only was he inaccessible to the leaders of the party that placed him in power, the great iron fence that surrounds the White House were kept closed to visitors. To millions the President was a mere creature of the imagination, and that goes, also, for thousands who live in Washington. On the fourth day of March, when the country editor from Ohio, Warren G. Hrrding, became President, the White House be- ja to function in tangible form. The first "big idea" to be acted upon was to "open wide the gates." That was an executive degree, but it was more, it was American and showed conclusively and effectively that things are different. It was like opening up the flood gates, and it has had an electrical effect on the popu-lace. The people feel "nearer to the government." When Mr. Wilson and Mr. Harding rode along Pennsylvania avenue, on their way to the capitol, there was afforded an unusual opportunity for study in contrast. As you looked at Wilson, you thought of leicles; as you looked at Harding, you thought of flowers. When, in the midst of 100,000 people Warren G. Harding took the oath that made him the head of the government, and you listened to his economically efficient and patriotically human in augural address, there was a spirit of just pride and enthusiasm. President Harding was saying the things as we ourselves would say them, and he was putting his thoughts in everyday language, with a delivery of eloquence and a bearing of becoming dignity. When President Harding, with Mrs. Harding, returned to take control of the destiny of the White House as well as the destiny of the nation for the next four years, and as they rode along the historically famous avenue, surrounded by troops of cavalry, no real American could look at the man without feeling the conviction that there are none so high, if undeserving, who may escape justice; and there are none so low, if deserving, who will be denied. You get the same impression on a visit to the White House. It was my privilege to have this experience. In his private office, as President of the United States, Mr. Harding displays no affection or haughtiness. I have seen him as Lieutenant Governor of Ohio; as United States senator from Ohio, and as President, and as from my human viewpoint there has been no change in the spirit of the man. He has grown in intensity of purpose, keeping progress it seems, with his responsibilities; and he has grown becomingly in presidential dignity, but he is yet very human and very American. On this presentation of fact, we rest our fact, we rest our faith in the future. WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Mar. 18, 1921. HUMAN APPEARANCE IS THE (By The Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., March 18- Things will begin to hum in Washington in a short while. Something is going to happen. Just what is enveloped in haze. But turn in whatever direction one pleases, there comes the feeling that a chunk of happening is about to fail and strike someone on the head of his or her divers' aspirations. President Harding is charmingly an enigma. And it is out of this gracious, through baffling, attitude toward things in general, and the Negro in particular, that there arises a mist of anxious and somewhat watchful waiting by the folks "who did the work and decided the election." There is going to be legislation on lynching presented to the next Congress. To the Associated Negro Press Senator McCormick of Illinois stated they will again bring up his bill which provides for a Commission on lynching, consisting of five members "to be appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate." The commissioners are to be without salary, except one member designated as Secretary, who will be paid $500 yearly. The commission would be authorized to conduct general inquiry into the subject of lynchings in the United States, and make a final report. Senator Curtis, of Kansas, has another bill, which he expects to reintro luce that makes a penalty on the county in which lynchings occur. There has been some discussin about the constitutionality of this measure, but Senator Curtis stated to the Associated Negro Press, that in his opinion the sub-committee would find the measure constitutional. The sentiment against lynchings is not confined to any section of the country, and has grown with tremendous rapidity, so much so, that Congress cannot longer ignore action on this terrible crime. What is going to be president Harding's policy with reference to the Colored American?" that is a universal question, and a very natural one. It can be stated on the very highest authority that President Harding is going to be President of all the people, and that he proposes to emphasize American citizenship rather than racial divisions. There have been few things written on race relations that have been commented on in the newspapers as generally, and by the people at large, as the recent article by former President Taft on southern appointments. While it stands to reason that the President has not yet had an opportunity to give careful consideration to the subject of southern appointments, there is no record of any statement he has made up to date, or any inference, that he will pursue any new policy. As a matter of fact, it can be said with more certainty that he will not. "It is a situation where both sides must use good sense and common judgment," said one of the national leaders. Continuing, be said: "This is not to be an administration, that does not apply to all." There seems to be widespread belief that the enlarged com- NEW ATTITUDE. mittee appointed to consider southern representation in the next rational convention knocks in the head the scheme of the "lilly white" and their followers, to wipe Colored Americans from the Republican political map. So strongly were the presentations of actual disfranchisement placed before the sub committee, that the Committee, as a whole refused to take up the subject at their last meeting. It appears now that the committee will take in the Negro rather than recommend a plan of elimination. The Committee on Race Legislation" in the name adopted by the group of national leaders who met here during inaugural week and formally opened headquarters at 1216 Pennsylvania Avenue. Col Henry Lincoln Johnson. Robert R. Church and Charles A. Cottrill were named to select a permanent committee representative of all the States in the Union, with a view to backing and watching all legislation affecting the race. The enlarged committee is now in process of formation. In the meantime the headquarters, situated a little more than half way between the Capital and the White House and practically in sight of both, is functioning in a state of preparation, and a conferene center on momentous questinas of state Occasionally one may hear a gentle discussion of patronage Subject has been discussed less than ever before, and even the daily newspapers are commenting on the dearest of applications foa federal office as compared with previous administrations. Among the big surprises is the group of prominent citizens who are not seeking federal appointment. This may be attributed to two things, at least. First, Federal salaries in comparison with the present high cost of living are not the most inviting. There was a time when the Federal employee who got $4,000 a year was "drawing down more" than ninety-nine and one half per cent of all the people. But today there are scores and scores of people in all parts of the country to whom $4,000 locks small. (There are many whom it yet looks large.) The second reason, therefore, is the fact that those who used to seek political wealth are now enjoying commercial wealth. The White Law Hotel Serves As a Model For Other, Cities. (By The Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., March 18 John W. Lewis, the propriator of the White law hotel, has been the recipient of many congratulations from the citizens here on the prospects he has given them of a big and modern hotel at Atlantic City. Of all the notable successes of this remarkable man, they say, this grad hotel, planned by him for the most popular summer resort of the colored elite of the country, is by far the greatest. A large number of reservations have already been asked for and, if present indications mean anything, Atlantic City will enjoy the best season in its history next summer. Mr. Lewis is busy preparing an elaborate program for the opening of his hotel. THE NEW YORK TIMES ATTY. FREEMAN L. MARTIN. who is now located in St. Louis.

The Associated Negro Press closes two years of seavice to the news paper of the country and to the people at large. What has been accomplished in that time very largely speaks for itself. Grabbing an idea and shooting it out into an untried field, through the co-operation of editors and the goodwill of readers. The Associated Negro Press has reached a standard of appreciation that is indeed enviable. There is one primary cause of this, which we appreciate fully, and that is the promoters have in no sense sought to exploit themselves, or to take advantage of the wide possibilities of the service. The progress of the newspapers and the welfare of the people have been the twin guiding stars to which we have hitched our wagon. It is our firm belief that we are now entering upon a new and greater era. If we have been faithful to the cause in the past, we promise to be no less so in the future, for certainly two years of untiring effort have given us a clearer vision of what is before us. We look to the future. May the Press of the country grow in power and usefulness more and more each day. The Associated Negro Press Claude A. Barnett, Director Nahun Daniel Brascher, Editor in Chief Let The Negro Have Better Homes. (By The Associated Negro Press) Hampton, Va., March 18, "For Negroes as for all other people, good homes mean better individual and community health and happiness," declared Miss Carrie Alberta Lyford, director of the Hampton Institute School of Home Economics, in her recent Atlantic City address on "Home making Needs of the Negro." four lawyers.

His resident number is 2413 Goode Ave. They want to be remembered to their friends. dellared before the National Society for vocational Education. Miss Lyford said: "Training in home making is the fundamental need for the girls and women of the Negro race. To secure better homes the Negro population must have betterpaid teachers with a wider vision, more through training, and more painstaking industry teachers with the ability to fir Negro women to do their part in the betterment of community life. The small cottage, similar in type to that in which the local Negro lives, must be provided at the school in order to furnish opportunity for the practice of housework according to the best modern methods and to instill a love for the well-kept home. "Training in home making must not be limited to the young people in the schools if improved home conditions are not to be realized within a generation. Extension classed in home-making for housewives and continuation classes for industry workers must be provided Miss Lyford outlined the operating of the Negro organization Society of Virginia for securing better health, better schools, better homes and better farms.

The problem of the Negro is national: local grains are deceptive. There fy really no exclusive problem fer ‘us and our Nig- geahs.”? Whena black man is burned in Arkansas, the black man’s status is lowered in Missis- sippi aad in Massachusetts. And yet some Colorad men are fooled and say: We don’t need the N, A. A. C, P. here; we have a “Welfare Loagic’”’ or a "Welfare Union’’, which is being financed by some local millionaire or ia on the budget of the “‘associated charities, ”* This is bosh. In the firat place, no such organization will ever be permitted to interfere with local prejudice andsentiment. To say the least it can have little in- fluence for good on the great national and common Jnterests of the Negru race, for which the N. A. A.C, P. is working.

A vivid portrayal of the coming of Jesus; the great seperation of the goats ard the sheep.—Did you ever see a sound minded person who did not want to live? It {s instinctive for us all to love life, When the Son of man hung on Mt. Calvary, plead- ing with His Pather to remove this bitter cur so Itt is with the human family, none are seehing death as long as they can live but it is surely coming and so is your Savior and wili yoaannd I be ready ta meet him? That is Icft to us alone and then comes tho seperat.on from these love ed ones we Snow here and rone of us Jcan take any one with us. When the Lreat book-keeper balances your and my account how will He flat us? dX ekt sermon—Believe on thy Lord serus Christ s7-1 thou shalt be saved fcts 16:31, Beheve— Belief— are the two most unpardonable sins in our lives, Unbelief has caused more roule to die and go to hell than any- thing else in wich we come in con- tuct Unbelief keeps us from being vood Christians; unbclicf keeps men tom coming to Christ and very of- ten causes them to be lost, Personal feclings are too responsible for a lot of good we could do in our communi~ ty,in our city, In our church, Jn our homes. Church members claiming to be Christians and having no desire to save souls are missing the mark for the most endearing words In the Ho- ly writ are said about the soul-saver, You who feel that you are not your brother's keeper will dle and go to the bar of Judgement with the blood of men on your hands. Don’t let this happen to you. The Buble tella me, you and all Christians to go out in the hedges and highways and save men's souls, The only opportunity a Christian has to prove the prestige they have with their neighbor, their friends, 1s by leading souls to Christ.
