THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE
COLORED PREJUDICE REAL MENACE AT THE CAPITAL OF A CHRISTIAN NATION
VOL. 14 NO. 3
Prejudice dominates every part of the Government in Some Way..
Merit has to take Second Place.
By The Negro Associated Press Washington, May 13-Colored prejudice ramifications in Washington afford a startling and sickening study. Governmental departments are honeycombed with petty, in sensible and un-American bold faced discriminations albeit, there are occasions where it is sought to cover up the real menace with ostrich-like camoflage.
Ravealing these conditions. The Associated Negro Press feels that a public duty is being performed, in as much as there is universal hope that many of the conditions will be corrected under the new administration. Washington, as the nation's capital, should set the example for the rest of the country in American principles. The Southern idea of "dealing with the Negro" has had an eight year away and the most has been made of the time.
These practices have been so effective that there is not a single theater in Washington where Colored people may go except for those conducted exclusively for the race, or where persons who can "pass" run the gauntlet. The same brand of prejudice is nation-wide in effectiveness, for the city is made up with people from everywhere, who not only write back home, but who go back from time to time telling the folks "how we treat 'em in D, C." Its a fine little game of "black man."
CIVIL SERVICE DEPARMENT
The keynote of governmental discrimination is the Civil Service department. They have worked the scheme out there to a "frack-sicklin," as they say in Indiana meaning the "umptenth" part of a fraction. It starts with the examinations, where it has been demonstrated that the lowest possible grades are given Colored applicants, especially in spelling and writing. And yet, the records bear witness that even with handicaps Colored applicants make a higher average than the majority of whites.
The nefarious Wilson executive order system of compelling applicants to be photographed, is another part of the program which is wholly out of harmony with civil service ideals, and should be aboliseed. Notwithstanding thisprima facia method, hundreds of applicants are certified for various positions, only to find when they put in an appearance that "the place has just been filled."
During war times there were large numbers of pathetic instances where both men and women came to the city from long distances, only to find the door closed in their faces. Each of the various bureaus have what is known as a "Chief clerks" and an "appointment clerk." These are the goats, and are the ones who do the dirty work

in the matter of appointments, but it could not be carried on successully without the endorsement of the man on top.
Take a specific case in point that happened recently in the department of Commerce, under Secretary Hoover. It is stated that a young Colored man was sent personally by the Secretary to the appointment clerk with the instructions that he be placed, he having been certified by the Civil Service. The automatic appointment clerk informed the young man that "There is a clerkship, but you would have to work among whites, and the best I can do now is place you on as a messenger." Can you beat that for nerve? There are hundreds of cases like it.
There are hundreds of persons in Washington departments who are capable of being chiefs who frequently have more ability than their so-called chiefs, and are called, upon to perform his duties, and yet they are not permitted to advance. There are some scores of messengers, college graduates, who are hanging on with the hope that time will some day give the ma chance to measure up. Young women are compelled to battle with equal force and determination for an opportunity to work for the government, except many of them have the additional battle for their character, in a manner very much in keeping with certain regional ethics. WAR AND NAVY, REPARS
WAR AND NAVY DEPARTMENT.
Shall Colored Americans who are anxious to serve the country in the Federalized Guard be received on the same basis as others, or shall they all be compelled to enlist under the military privileges. The recent exposition on this subject is creating wide comment, Citizens throughout the country are urged to write Secretary of War Baker, Meeks, War Department, Washington, D. C., and the repeal of an order which is unfair to American manhood. The Associated Negro Press has taken the matter up directly with the Secretary of War, and a formal expression on the subject in a short time. It has been pointed out to the Secretary that under the present arrangement red blooded men resent the plan as un-American, regardless of the very elucidating statement on the subject by former Secretary Baker who stated that it was without prejudice. "Can Discrimination be without prejudice?" asks the "Man Farthest down"
Secretary Denby, of the Navy, a citizen of Mitchell, where the Republican party was born for the cause of human Liberty and justice, together with his worthy assistant, Theodore Roosevelt of New York, son of the architect of the "Door of Hope the Door of opportunity" those men should take the unwritten law of color prejudice out of the government that has very effectively placed the "kiboshi" on Colored Americans.
Except in certain restricted capacity on the warcraft of Uncle Sam, a dark face is without chance or honor. The executive
In Memory
Grenada. Miss.
On the 19th Uit., all that was mortal of Sister Emma Hubbard was killed to rest in the Black Jack Cemetery, she had been ill since August of last year and for some time those in attendant at her bedside had dispaired of her life and were prepared for the worse which came on the 18 h. During her indisposition she bore up with a fortitude characteristic of her Christian life and the end came peacefully. She had been a Christian to the church and community visiting and caring for the sick and dying, and consulting the bereaved. She was the oldest deaconess and mother of the church and her demise marks the passing of the oldest sisters of the church. She was as:
A choice flower in the garden alone;
For love and beau y and the wilding
bee to suck;
Shedding a radiance and cheerfulness
to light up the home.
It seem most sacrilegious this flower
to pluck.
But the hand that fashioned this model
of clay.
And gave it a spirit so deft:
Was grieved to see it languish and
pine there away.
So it took it unto itself.
The funeral services were conducted by Revs. C. W. Willis and J. S. Hankins.

offices in Washington, of the navy Department, reflect very unmistakable the "spirit of the Navy" Colored clerks, and even messengers, are conspicuous by their absence.
It is pointed out by observers that to make headway in social justice, departmental heads must take an unquestioned stand for the things that are right. The spirit of their stand should permeate every corner and service of the work under them, just as the spirit of injustice permeated the last inch under the last Wilsonian region. It is farther pointed out that the example of the government, its attitude in dealing with human beings, will go a very long way in helping to develop a just and fair attitude of mind in every section of the United States, and in all phases of economic life. Governmental example backed up by constitutional governmental determination, will prove an unfaltering panace for many ills.

John S. Williams Not Able to Pay.
(By Associated Negro Press)
Macon Ga. May13 Indictments charging peonage and conspiracy to commit peonage were returned against John S. Williams and his sons, Marvin Hulon, and Leroy of Jasper county, by the federal grand jury late today. The jury returned no bills in three other cases John S. Williams was recently convicted of murder in connection with peonage cases and sentenced to life imprisonment in Newton county.
The the sons are expected to be tried in July, if they are apprehended. As long as John S. Williams is under a life imprisonment sentence, officials announced he will not be tried on the peonage and conspiracy charges.

STILL DOING THINGS. One of the greatest civic as well as religious revivals, in which 75 per cent of the segregation was eradicated, was held at the Mount Pleasant Baptist church at Jetmore, Kansas. Mrs. Etta Scott Holloway of Horton, Kans., the most noted woman Evangelist of her time conducted the meetings. The forceful way in which she interpreted the Bible, brought vast crowds night after night. The meeting was a great success, both spiritually and financially. Much credit is due our pastor Rev S. Monroe Smothers for bringing this wonderful woman into our midst.
The Sunday School commencement Exercises were given at the church, Sunday evening. At which time the pupils in the Junior Department were graduated to the Intermediate. The church was beautifully decorated with Cut flowers. The color scheme was red and white, which were the colors of the class. Prizes were awarded for perfect attendance.

Explosion Shocks City Negroes Visit Mayor.
(By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., May 13.—Two flat buildings at 701-703 E, 15th St were rocked by a bomb explosion last Friday night in an alley way between the structures. Both buildings are owned and occupied by Negroes. Young women and girl students tumbled from their beds by the force of the detonation, at St. Xavier's Academy, 4928 cotage Grove avenue Many of the children rushed down from the academy in their night garments believing the dor imitry wrecked.
The explosion was heard for several miles. Residents near Washington Park thought at first the bomb had been set off at the home of Jesse Binga, Negro real estate dealer and banker living at 5922 South Park avenue. His home has been bombed a number of times. The two structures attacked by the bombers are owned by Mrs. A. M. Polk and by C. A. Robinson. White families, who formerly occupied the flats were instructed to move several months ago when the Negroes took possession.
NEGROES VISIT MAYOR
More than 200 Negro ministers and business men, headed by Mr. Ringa and the Rev. W. S. Braddon, last Friday sought an interview with Mayor Thompson to ask that the city offer a general reward for the apprehension of bomb vandals. The delegation which was unable to see the Mayor announced that it would appeal to the city council at its next meeting, asking that $100,000 of the city's money be set aside for the rewards. Aldeman L. B. Anderson of the Second ward. Colored will introduce the proposal and unless he and the Mayor help the delegation promised to be against them.

vback which is a rich os) field, making white man is treated justly, it affects
her worth' $5,500,000, ~ the whole politic, and if that Injus-
I is the inspiration of Dr. [larry
‘AT Daily of Boston, Maas., to
have every Negro in the United States
to sign a petition and get it to him at
163 W, Springfield St., by the Ist of
June If you fail to get one of his
regular formed petitions, send your
name to he can give your state ercdit
for your stand. Ile wants political
fianchisement for all the Negroes in
‘all sections, to mate lynching a Fed-
eral crime, to make officer responsible
for the prisoner, to do away with ra-
cial discrimination; he wants the oMf-
cials at Washington to hnow that the
Negroes are united on one thought,
viz: “The enforcement of the 14th
Amendmant of the Constitution of the
U.S. A.” He is now calling for the
telp of Newspapers, teachers and
Freachers and leaders. He rightly
heads his petition with these words:
“It In time that the Spirit of Christ
should be manifested in the making
and executing of the law,” Should all
Christians think the same thing?
then express your thoughts by com-
plying to his request and let him re-
port the nceds and thoughts of 14
milhons Americans.
T ald the Y. M. C, A,, is your
Chr'stian Duty and no man or
woman has pleased God nor fulfilled
hia Christian duty until he or she
has done h’s or her beat to put on a
strong, and first class Y. M. C. A.
We are wondering if you know what
it means to save your young boys
from the evil things of this hfe, and
start them to nobler things} if jou
don’t know, trust your frien4s or the
friends of the Rece to lead the way
and you follow with your might (and
mite) and see the results, We don’t
believe that a single man will turn
cown his membership in the Y. M. C.
A, ond many will be there with their
“sustaimng membership.” Show how
anxious you are by calling or sending
your fee, before we come to see you,
A contract has been Jet to make some

Ky did Probate Judge Jones
deal with Mrs, Lee, who chain-
ed her own children to the bed while
she went out to make a living. She
seemed to hc%e had the mind to do the
right thing or try to protect her
neighbors from the trouble of her
children, while her ignorance could
not help her figure out a lawful way
to do ft, Then the condition of labor
being against a non-union laborer in
this eity, her husbénd was having
difficulty in finding work; so the
combination of things caused the
supposed mistreatment of her chil-
dren; and she was set free with in-
struction as to how to care for her
children in a Christian land. Now,
the oldest child is in Wheatly Chile
dren's Home, and the two younger
ones are with the mother. This is
fome of Texas’ property, which Is
sad, but true, is handicapped for hfe

Hen Negro We can only judge
by what Iie did when Iie was here
on earth, The Jew then was despis-
ed by the Roman as the Negro is de-
xpised by many now. He was taxed
to support a government hostile to
his peculiar interests, as today the
Negro Js taxed to support a govern-
ment that permits lynching, burn.
Ing, Ji-crowism on land, water and
reven advocates It in its federal build-
ings which makes itself hostile to our
needs and comforts. The Jews per-
sonally was repressed by the then
Taughty ruling clasr as the Negro
tae tern eime that time, Every
rising race has had to experience
race has had to experience these dif.
ficulties in their development, Don’t
Jet them kill your spirit to rise,
If disease and lawlessness and iz-
norance are allowed to exist in one
part of the country, Sts contagion
will rapidly spread to all parts of tho
country, No section of the United
States can permit a recognized wrong
to exist without affecting the whole
Nation as well as itself.
Every time’a Negro Is treated un
justly, precisely as is true when s
white man is treated justly, it affects
the whole politic, And if that Infus
‘thee’ sprends and becomes a habit, {1
presents a serious national problem,
‘The same method ,of reformation
and opportunity should be opensd tc
the younger coloredrbéy and girl,
who offends for the first time against

termined to preserve the integnty
of his race as is the intelligent white
man, :
Undoubtedly there {-e rad‘cal,
hate-engendered utterances made by
colored men in the excitement of
race discriminations, but they are no
more Indicative of the sentiment of
the great body of the Negro people
than are the same kind of utterances
of which we read with indignation
and anxiety when uttered by whits
men. There must be a recognition
of the colored man as condition, to
fair and permanent of the race ques-
tion,
- Brute force or superiority in num-
bers furnishes no basis for a viola-
tlon of the rights of the weak or of
the minority. We must consider the
Negro as an American, with consti-
tutional guarantees of hfe, hberty,
and the pursuit of happiness, precise-
ly equal to those same guaranties" in
the case of the white man,
Punishment for wrongdoers ought
to be as prompt and severe with the
colored wrongdoer as the white wrong-
doer, but there is no justification
either in history or in result for laws
less punishment of either a direct or
a carouflaged violation of the con-
stitutional right which the colored
man has to vote and to have his vote
counted,
If the colored man is deemed wor-
thy to carry a rifle in the defense of
his country and risk life for the hon-
or of his nation, who shall say that
be is unworthy to cast a ballot in the
government of that nation whose hfe
he has helped to pregerve?
