Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE VOL. 13 NO. 52 SPECIAL COMMISSION FOR SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE SPECIAL COMMISSION FOR SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE Washington, D. C. April President Harding recently asked his special commission, headed by Charles G Dawes of Chicago, to make "diligent inquiry" of government department heads in an effort to find out just where the government agencies have been "lacking in authority, neglectful or failing" in caring for disabled service men. He asked also that investigation be made of "the abuses which have developed." The President's request was in the form of a statement, which was read at the first meeting of the Commission by Mr. Dawes, who called on the President at the White House. The commission chairman announced the President's wishes would be carried out to the letter and that the inquiry would not be directed into controversial or extended subjects.

TRAVELED OVER 600 000 MILES IN THE INTERESTS OF BOYS AND GIRLS AN INTERNATIONAL FIGURE IN SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK TO BE AT THE STATE SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION, HUTCHINSON, MAY 35 R. A. Waite of the international Sunday School Association, one of the foremost leaders in young people's work on the continent. He has seen and has helped to meet boys' and girls' problems from the point of the pastor, the Y. M. C. A. secretary an adviser to the Juvenile Court, as well as from, the point of view of the leader in religious education. Yes, and "Daddy" Waite is the father of three adolescent youngsters himself! He KNOWS the m. He can tell you what they are thinking, feeling and wishing. Doubtless he has the confidence of more boys and girls than any other leader of our day. He has attended 1053 older boys and older girls conferences and traveled over 600,000 miles in the interests of boys and girls. The suggestions he will be able to make to pastors, Sunday School teachers and parents will be apt. They will fit the case in hand. The study Mr. Waite has been making for several of the four-fold programs of activities for boys and girls, furnishes him with information with which to answer a score of the questions which have been bothering leaders everywhere. Three afternoons spent with him in a discussion of the problems facing church school leaders in the religious education of the youth of today will bring inspiration and satisfaction. Those afternoons will furnish more workable plans than many months of spare time reading. Mr. Walte is to be in Hutchinson May 45 at the Fifty-sixth annual convention of the Kansas Sunday School Association He will be the special guest of the Young People's Division workers. Miss Bonita Ferguson is the Superintendent of this division in the state Sunday School Association. PRICE, FIVE CENTS SHALL PREJUDICE OR MERIT RULE THE GOVERNMENT? Washington, D. C.,—Members of Congress today received copies of a petition, addressed to Mrs. Virginia White Speel, chairman of the National Woman's Republican Committee of Columbia, and signed by 508 white women employed in the office of the Register of the Treasury, opposing the appointment of a Negro Register. We have been definitely informed." the signers of the petition declared, "that the appointment of a colored man as Register of the Treasury is being considered. 'There gister's office is now very large and is doing re-possible work. Its personnel consists of more than 900 clerks, mostly ex-service men and white women, who are dependent upon their income here for support. For a Negro to have jurisdiction over those clerks would be intolerable. "It is true that colored men have served as Registers of the Treasury, but out of the twenty-two registers only four have been Negroes. At no time when this office was under the supervision of a Negro did the personnel consist of more than nineteen clerks and one messenger." The signers of the petition, whose homes as given included thirty-five states, in a letter to members of Congress enclosing the petition, declared: "This petition does not come from any political reaction, nor was it instigated by southern prejudice, Northerners, Southeaners, Easterners, Westerners, Democrats and Republicans alike have set their signs ture thereto. "In times of war it was thought inadvisable to put Negro officers in charge of white troops. In times of peace it would certainly be inexpedient to give Negroes jurisdiction over white citizens." Short Course of Domestic Science. (By The Negro Associated Press.) (By The Negro Associated Press.) Plateau, Miss., April—The Mobile County Training school has planned a Short Course in Canning for the season. More than sixty girls taking Domestic science and the women of the community will be given an opportunity to learn canning and preserving. The teachers who will attend the summer session for Teachers will be given the course as it should be taught to the pupils in the county. Through the generosity of Mrs. G O. Johnson, Probation Officer of Mobile county, an Outdoor Cannery has been installed for this purpose. The school considers this a great opportunity and blessing by which it may teach an industry so much needed in the homes. Other gists to the school are fifty Morning Hour song books coming from the Lend A Hand Book Mission of Boston, Mass., and fifty-five dollars worth of library books given by the friends of the school. Southern Pconage Investigated. New York. April 22. The N. A. A. C. P. has issued a statement of Walter F. White, its Assistant Secretary, who has made several investigations of peonage in the South, and comments as follows on the cases brought to light in Jasper county, Georgia: As an isolated case, the Jasper county murder of at least eleven Negroes because they threatened to reveal peonage conditions there, is not as important as the fact that it is indicative of a wide-spread and closely organized system in the South, Horrible as the facts are, they can be duplicated in every Southerners state. The Mississippi delta region embracing the states of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, western Tennessee and eastern Texas, is built on system of deptslivery. In October, 1919, for example, the newspapers of the country told of a vicious massacre plot, fortunately discovered in advance, which Negroes in Phillips county, Aansas, had planned to kill all of the white people and seize their land. I was sent there to investigate the report and found that there was no basis in fact for the massacre story. A group of Negro peons had banded themselves together to raise enough money by pooling membership due to employ a white lawyer to carry one of the cases of exploitation to court. The colored men hoped that other cases would be settled based on the decision rendered in the test case. The land-owners concocted a fantastic story about a massacre, organized mobs who slaughtered an unknown number of Negroes in cold blood and then sentenced twelve men to death and 67 to long prison terms. The National Association has defended these men since then and the cases are yet pending. "In January of this year, Henry Lowry, a Colored man, was burned to death in most horrible fashion at Nodena, Ark., following a dispute its the landowner who had been robbing Lowry, in which fight Lowry killed in self-defense the landowner. "Many more cases can be cited equally flagrant. Last September, I presented in person to a representative of the Department of Justice at Washington, evidence of several peonage cases in Georgia which led to a statement later by Hooper Alexander, United States District Attorney of Northern Georgia. In which he declared that almost unbeliev able horrible conditions existed in that State in the treatment of Negroes. The Department of Justice has the authority to investigate these peonage states and to punish the perpetrators. Failure to do so will mean a still greater disturbance of labor and a loss not to the Negro alone but to the South and America." Stars In Their Line Rewarded. Washington, D. C., April 22. The rendition of the "Emperor" Jones" by the Howard University Players with Charles S. Gilpin in the title role and Jasper Deeter in the trader's role, both of the Provincetown Players of New York City, proved a rare treat to the large Colored and white audience that packed the Belasco Theatre, Washington, D. C., on Eastermorning, March 28th. An interesting feature of the performance was the gift to Mr. Gilpin of a silver loving cup presented on behalf of the Howard Players by Mr. George Brown, business manager of the Dramatic Association. Mr. Gilpin paid a fine tribute to the accomplished by the Howard Players. He emphasized the fact that his own efforts were bent solely towards demonstrating that the Negro may be an actor who, by his art, can appeal to all, irrespective of color. Among those who attended the performance were: Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, President of the Howard University; Dr. Emmitt, J. Scott, Secretary-Treasurer, and Mrs. Scott; His Excellency, Charles Bradley Dunbar King, President of the Republic of Liberia; Hon F E R. Johnston of the Liberian Secretary of the Treasury, who with President King constitute the Liberian Plenary Commission; Dr. and Mrs. Austin M. Curtis; Mrs. Chas. S. Gillpin, wife of the star; Mrs. T. Montgomery Gregory, wife of the Director of the Dramatic Department of Howard University; Miss Evelyn B. Scott; Miss Margaret George; Mr. G. L Dennis, Secretary of the Liberian Plenary Commission, and the Musee Cooper and Mills, Liberian students now attending Howard University Call Peonage Menace to Nation's Economic Future. GREATEST CAUSE OF UNREST NEXT TO LYNCHING. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today made public telegrams sent to President Harding and Governor Dorsey of Georgia in which the statement is made that the murder of eleven Negroes on the Williams plantation in Georgia does not constitute an isolated case of peonage in the South but that a number of cases have been called to the tentions of the Department of Justice in recent years. The Arkansas riots of 1919 and the burning at stake in January of this year of Henry Lowery, are laid to the same cause and it is stated in the telegram that the practice of peonage is wide spread in southern states, especially in the Mississippi Delta region. It is called the greatest cause of unrest next to lynching. In the telegram to the Governor of Georgia, he is called upon not only to exercise his full power to bring the offenders in the present cases to justice, but to proceed against the widespread sysetm of debt slavery which prevails in his state. The telegrams follow. The one sent President Harding is as follows: "Hon, Warren G. Harding President of the United States Washington, D. C. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People urgently requests of you that a thorough investigation be made by the Department of Justice under authority vested in that Department by Federal laws of peonage conditions in Jasper County, Georgia, where John Williams a white landowner has killed as caused to be killed eleven Negroes who threatened to testify against Williams regarding peonage. This case is not an isolated one but is indicative of similar conditions which exist in most southern states and particularly in the Mississippi Delta. Henry Lowry, Colored, was burned at the stake in most horrible fashion in Arkansas on January 26 because he attempted to escape from being held in peonage, In Phillips County, Arkansas, in October, 1919, an unknown number of Negroes were sluaghtered and others sentenced to death and imprisonment for attempting to secure redress from exploitation through the courts of that state. This Association has furnished numerous cases of peonage to the Department of justice. The entire economic future of the South and of America are affected by this system. Thorough investi- gations and punishment of those guilty of perpetuating this system whatever the cost to the United States must be made. We urge you to issue such an order. "James Weldon Johnson, Secretary" The telegram to Governor Dorsey is as follows: The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People urges you to use every effort to bring to justice the murderers of eleven Negroes in Jasper County, Georgia, because they threatened to reveal peonage conditions in that county. We also strongly urge that you have brought into the light this vicious system of economic exploitation and debt-slavery which is prevalent in other parts of Georgia as well and which is great a menace to the well-being of Georgia, the South, and America. Will you not also turn over to the Department of Justice evidence of such other cases of peonage as you have in your possession that the Department may act in conjunction with state authorities in wiping out this evil? Next to lynching there is no greater cause of unrest than this vicious system, "James Weldon Johnson, Secretary." A telegram was also sent to Attorney-General Dougher urging that the entire machinery of the Department of justice be placed behind the Georgia procuctions. South St. Louis, Notes Mr. George Garrison was brought home a corps Monday, he had enlisted in the army and died while in the army.

B church, regular meeting day the 2nd Sunday in, every month. The Sunday School opened at 9:30 a.m., by the Supt Bro. S. P. Moton, after devotional exercise was over the teachers took charge of their classes. And while sister A. L. Moton Catechised the class our heart's were made to rejoice. After our time had expired, we were turned over to Rev. T. B Miles for review of which he put the climax to the lesson. First he had the class to define the word Health: They passed on through the daily home reading. Rev. Miles had those to know they had their sins forgiven and are partaking of Christ. We should be very careful how we handle our bodies; Christ says he will not dwell in an unclean temple. For our writer says: Ye are bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit which are Gods. Then we should not put any thing unclean into our bodies, simply because our bodies are not our own, it's Christ's. He said a good many more things that could be mentioned. The school was turned over to the Supt. of which we made a few remarks, then closed. The Deacon board opened prayer service right a way of which we had a hot prayer meeting. It seems as everybody was feeling good when they stopped to give the laws over to Rev. C. B. Miles. He came before the audience singing a song: "There won't be no dying there in that land where I am bound." After making some preliminary remarks be chose for his Text: 1st Epistle of Paul the Apostle to Timothy and 3rd verse He said the Baptist church needed Doctrine preached more than it has ever had. All members should know the Doctrine of the Baptist church. Rev. Milies preaches the sound Doctrine, it will do any body good to hear him, and when ever in Dublin, on the 2nd Sunday come to Hebrew, you are welcome among us. Rev. Johnson came before the body that night and had another good Sermon chose for his Text; Hebrews 13:7; after the sermon Rev.
