That the Negro is entitled to equal and exact justice before the law and that the white man must accord him that justice or be false to all Anglo-Saxon traditions was the opinion expressed by the Hon. Thomas W. Bickett, formr egovernor of North Carolina, in his recent address delivered at the closing session of the fifty-third anniversary of Hampton Institute, over which Principal J. E. Gregg presided, Governor Bickett said: Though only fifty-three years old, Hampton Institute has achieved the unique and noble distinction of becoming at once a fountain and a shrine. From it are constantly flowing streams that make waste places glad, and from every quarter of the continent weary pilgrims come to Hampton Institute for a new birth of courage, faith and love. The Negro who has to get an order from a white man before he can buy a sack of meal or a side of meat is almost as much a slave as the man who had to get a permit before he could leave his master's land. The Nergo as a race will not travel far until his credit in store or in bank is as good as that of the white man. "All during my administration the hand of executive clemency knew no color line. I opened the prison doors to more than four hundred Negroes. During my administration I preached against lynching and I fought lynching. I rushed troops to protect prisoners, leaders of mobs were indicted and convicted, and I personally walked into a mob and persuaded men to abandon their purpose. STRIKES AT KU KLUX "In this free country the message that cannot be proclaimed from the housetop ought not to be heard by a loyal American citizen. The Klu Klux Klan believes in the whisper and that is one of the the reasons why, when the strong man from Texas tried to establish the Ku Klux Klan in North Carolina. I rose up and hit it with all my might and drove it from our borders. Listen to your leaders who proclaim their message from the pulpit and through the local press. When the whispering agitator comes around, say to him: 'Get thee behind me, Satan.' A CANDID CONFESSION 'Let me make a candid and solemn confession. The whites in the South, and in the North as well, do not always deal justly by the Negro. We sometimes do him wrong, and God knows I am ashamed of it., but violence will not hasten the day of your deliverance and hate will always hinder. The God of your redemption will come, not in the mighty wind, not in the earth-quake, and not in fire, but in a still small voice that will trouble the white man's WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, M. y 6, 1921. conscience and drive sleep from his eyes, until he gives to your people the fullest measure of justice The one safe path for the Negro to follow is the path that leads straight to the door of the white man's conscience. Some day every plea that is born of wisdom and justice will be allowed. "While hate and wrath will lead to failure and destruction, love and faith will surely conquer. My message and my prayer to both races in this: "Love one another, and all these things will be added unto you." Dr. Talcott Williams of New York, well-known publicist and former director of the Pulitzer School of Journalism, Columbia University, paid a warm tribute to Governor Bickett's 'great deliverance of truth, justice, and hope.' Dr. Williams, in his address on "Economic Independence through Industry," stated to the Hampton graduates that the economic conditions of Negroes are better than they have ever been before and that wages will probably not be reduced more than one-third. He referred to the so-called "dreary years" in the South. 1865 1885, when colored men worked for 50 cents a day and colored women worked for twelve hours a day. He stated that Negroes have earned more wages in the last decade than they had earned in the previous fifty years. Dr. Williams said: "A Hampton graduate has the duty of becoming the economic leader of his race. In economic independence there must be peace and harmony between the two races. The advance in wages in the four years which you have been at Hampton has been largest for the day laborer and larger for skilled labor than profes tional labor. When the serious losses of 1920 and 1921 come to be reckoned, you will find that the proportionate advance has been greater for the-day laborer, the small farmer, and the small mechanic, than for any others in the community. The margin of saying in the next five years is going to be wider than it has ever been before, owing to the fall in prices. It is for you to decide whether this fortunate circumstance shall leave you at the end of five years with something to show for this opportunity. There has never been a time in the history of your race when so many owned the bonds to which you so freely subscribed. The habit of investing is growing. This is the way in which you will reach independence." ARMSTRONG'S DISCOVERY Dr. Francis G. Peabody of Harvard University, who presented the graduating class (42 boys and 40 girls) to the Hampton Institute board of trustees, of which he is the first vice pres.

Dykes, of Washington, recently passed her examination for the degree. Doctor of Philosophy in English at Radcliffe College, Cambridge, Mass. Miss Dykes is the first Colored woman to be recommended for such a degree. She received her elementary training in the public schools of Washington, D. C. and is a graduate of the Dunbar High School In 1917 Miss Dykes received her A. B. from Radcliffe with honors in English, "magna cum laude." and in 1918 received a Master's degree. Miss Dykes has not only the honor of being the first Colored woman candidate for the degree of Ph. D, but she a so is the only member of the Colored race to have that degree in English. Special to The Negro Star:— Second Baptist Church We are getting along splendidly at the present. We had to examine ourselves to see whether we were anyways hurt after the great cyclone we were caught in Saturday night. A certain lady friend was sent to our house to keep us from bed while the storm clouds were gathering. There was neither lightening nor thunder yet the clouds met each other at deacon Roberts restaurant, in the west and moved rapidly eastward. It struck pastor Reeves, and as it struck, you could hear Angelic voices singing "Showers of Blessings" and when the clouds had cleared away the pastor and wife found that their kitchen table was not able to hold the many blessings that showered down. We noticed there was flour, sugar galore, potato, butter, beans, canned goods of all kinds, Apples, Oranges, and money. On taking note of the constituents that figured in this great storm there were Rev. S. H. Smothers and wife, Deacon Roberts, Deacon Wills and daughter, sister Amanda Damerson and children, sister Duncans, Miss Irving, Sister Daniels, Brother Miller, sister Minnie Childs, Mary Martin and others that are too numerous to mention. Mrs. Mary Martin. What Death Has Done. Mrs. J. Reeves who has been sick above four months passed away the night of May 1st. Her death was a shock to the Posten family of which she was a member and to the friends both in Anthony, and Caldwell, Kansas. She was called away in the prime of life while she was rendering needed service both to home and church. The husband has lost a wife the family useful sister, the church a worker. Through her, others have been brought to Christ. It was hard to give her up but we realize that she has gone to rest. Four lots and a splendid cottage in the 1400 block on N. Ohio was purchased for a nine hundred and fifty dollars consideration by the undersigned a few days a g o. The deal was a cash transaction. E. P. Geiger. Each of the red letter days in the Christian calendar stands in a peculiar way for certain aspects of Christian truth, and the Sunday School should take advantage of each of these occasions to emphasize the lesson which it teaches. Easter stands first of all, for the fact of the resurrection of Christ from the dead. This of course the teacher should set forth with all the force and clearliness he can command calling attention to the fact that after the crucifixion the disciples were utterly bewildered and discouraged and that nothing can account for the remarkable transformation which was wrought in them with in a few days but the assumption that the risen Lord as He boldly appeared unto them. But for this experience they would have gone back to their fishing ne s. and the Christian Church would never have come into being: He lives again to die no more. The Christ is risen means that we have a living, ever present Savior who is able to do for us exceeding above all that we ask or think "Declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of Holiness by the resurrection from the dead" is the way St. Paul puts it. He lives again to die no more. When our Lord sent his disciples forth upon their difficult and perilous Mission He promises that He would be with them always, and dying, many of them as Martyrs, they left their testimony that this promise had been fulfilled. The Sunday School teacher should make clear the facts that this gracious promise still holds good and that those that seek to do the will of the Heavenly Father may still go about their work with the assurance that the Lord of love and lights are with them. He lives a gain to die no more. On the evening before the crucifixion Jesus told his disciples that He was going to prepare a place of above for them in the Heavenly Father's house and that He would come again and deliver them unto himself that where He was there they might be also, and resurrection meant to them that that promise like-wise He would fulfill. There was never and doubt in their minds in regard to their personal Survival after death. For them to be absent from the body was to be present with the Lord. This lesson of resurrection also should be brought home by the Sunday School teacher to the of his pupils for those who would live useful and triumphant lives to-day need it just as much as did those of the first Christian centry. They need it for their own sake to enable them to maintain their confidence and their courage in midst of disheartning experiences and remain true to their Christian ideals in a world that is still full of vulgar selfishness and malice. He lives to die no more. They need it for the sake of the task to which they are called servants of the living Christ the task of establishing in the earth a triumphant Kingdom of God. For this task demands self sacrifice and patience and heroism. But these are impossible without adequate motives and such motives we shall not be able to command if we cease to believe Cherryvale, Kansas. Mr. A. F. Toliver is here visiting his wife and son for a few days. Mr. Millard Ratchliff is up again after several weeks of illness. Mr. Roy Howard and Mr. Strauter were here from Parsons, Sunday visiting the churches. Both men made excellent talks to the young people in Sunday School at 9:45 a.m. Well attended. Good lesson. Morning services also well attended; very good soul stirring covenant meeting, every one testifying for Jesus. Night services started at 7:30. Short prayer meeting finishing testifying for Jesus.

Special to The Negro Star:— Please allow space in our valuable paper for Cleveland, Mississippi.Dots. We were sorry to not have you in our Easter Exercises, knowing that we would have had a distinguished, Christian gentleman to grace our audience. But I wish to say, we had a glorious Easter service—true we had not the real resurrection but the spiritual resurrection was vivid. We endeavored to and did make a mental picture of the resurrection of our blessed Lord. We raised above $10.00 in our Easter service. I feel that I would do you and ourselves an injustice to not mention our monthly service held in the St. Paul M. B. Church. Our beloved pastor, was present as usual and preached a soul-stirring sermon; he had God with him and spoke of the Eternal truths so forcibly that the church moved heavenward in the spirit. Collection $60.00. Thanking you for sample copies of our paper as it is an incentive in our work, I am rewarding you for same. Please find enclosed $1.50 for one year's subscription for A. J. Jackson, Cleveland, Miss., Box 97. Lula M. Porter, Box 97. that those for whose salvation we are called upon to offer sentiments are worth saving. It is because of their belief in the New Testament teaching in regard to the dignity and worth of human life that true followers of our Lord are willing to spend and be spent in order that His followers may be brought to freedom and self realization in Christ. Let no Sunday School teacher fail to take advantage of Easter to stress before his class the great message for which the occasion stands make careful preparation reading the resurrection story as it is told in the four Gospels 1st. Cor. 15-3, Acts 5-12 and do not fall to pray that the Holy Spirit may give you insight into the meaning of the resurrection and access to the heart of your pupils. They lived and labored and suffered in the confidence and assurance that if Christ died and rose again even so those also who had fallen asleep in Jesus would God bring with Him. In the light of the assurance they regard death not as defeat, but as triumph, and were enabled to proclaim as they faced the great mystery. Thanks be unto God who giveeth us the Victory through our Lord Jesus. PRICE, FIVE CENTS A Wonderful Demonstration of_Christians. Last Sunday, was great demonstration of the Christians of Wichita, when every Protestant in the city met in the Riverside Park and marched through the Park Roads waving banners and singing God's praises. Two bands rendered march music. It was encouraging to see the number of young people in the Christian service. The boy scout under Dr. Ross Sanderson had everything systematically planned and they worked their plan fine. Everyone was wearing a smile of Christian fellowship that makes the Christian life a blessing. Truly this was the longest march of Young Christians we have ever witnessed, and there were "cloud of witness lined on both sides of the march through out the park. No frictions and bad feelings were witnessed, but everything was done in a loving spirit, proving that in spirit of Christ there is peace and happiness. May Day for Children. Over 6000 school children celebrated May day at the McKnight field Last Wednesday and report that it was an enjoyable day. Many signs of talent, leadership and merit were demonstrated. From and intellectual stand point we still had no friction reported, so we feel that on these two points we might begin to feel safe to build a great civilization where peace and safety will be the fairest sign of the pleasure of God who guides the destiny of nations. Sunday School & B. Y. P. U. Congress, June 22-26, 1921. Word comes to us from the Congress Headquarters at Nashville, Tennessee, that a reduced railroad fare of 1½ fare has been granted over all the principal railroad systems. This rate has been granted on the certificate plan. Messengers will be requested therefore, to procure certificates when they purchase their tickets. Should they fail to get these certificates they will not be entitled to reduced rate returning. We are also advised that the names of messengers to the Congress are coming rapidly from all sections of the country. The Congress management is of the opinion that there will be an unusually large number of messengers to this Congress and that the work done by the experts will be superior to that of any previous year in character and tone. The Executive Board of the National Baptist Convention meets in Kansas City, at the same time, which will bring together a large number of the leaders and most distinguished men in the Denomination. It is highly probable, there will be a "BAPTIST SPECIAL TRAIN," leaving Nashville, Tuesday Morning, June 21st, carrying the Delegates from Florida, Georgia, Alabama, East Louisiana and Tennessee. It is our sincere desire that the attendance from this state shall be as large as that of any other state in the Union. Let every Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Society in the State elect messengers at once and send their names to Rev. S. W. Bacote, D. D. Kansas City, Mo. COMING AGAIN!! MISS QOROTHY L. SIMS from Fisk University has consented to return to Wichita, the early part of June 1921.
