Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE (By The Associated Negro Press) New York, N Y., May 20- Refusal to comply with an order to discharge its Negro employees and discontinue their employment in its offices has forced "The World Tomorrow" to move its quarters from 118 East 28 h street to 108 Lexington avenue. The order came from the owners of the 23rd street building. In a public statement to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, of the situation the editors of "The World Tomorrow" say: We should have refused such a demand on principal, but in addition we are proud of the most faithful of our office force is a Colored woman. That her face should be discriminated against in more than one office building in New York city is a practical denial of the fundamental principles and Christianity." Feels That Race (By The Associated Negro Press) Asheville, N. Car. - May 20. The Ashville Times in a recent edition said, commenting on the effort of the Negroes to establish a hospital here for their race: "The proposed Colored hospital is worthy of the generous support of the white people of Ashville who feel that the Colored race is entitled to every encouragement in its effort to develop its own institutions. The Colored race is entitled to every encouragement in its effort to develop its own institutions. The Colored people have already proved their faith in their desire by subscribing liberally. Most assuredly, their appeals for help from the white citizens will not fall upon deaf ears and begrudg ing purses." Atty. Houston Member of Board.

(By The Associated Negro Press) Philadelphia, Penn., May 20. The plenary commission to the United States from the republic of Liberia were the guests of the city of Philadelphia. The party included C. B King, President of Liberia; Chief Justice Johnson, of the Supreme Court and other high officials of the republic. They arrived at Broad street station at noon, and were met by a number of prominent Colored people of this city. Escorted by a guard of mounted police, they went directly to a hotel at Broad and Catherine streets. The commission was welcomed to the city by Mayor Moore at a reception in the city Hall. President King was presented to Mayor by Bishop W. H. Heard, of this city. President King responded to Mayor Moore's address of welcome and expressed his pleasure at the cordial reception given him here. Following the reception, the President's party was escorted to Independence Hall, where the Liberty Bell was wreathed by them. A large crowd gathered and was addressed by the Mayor, President King and others of the party. At the close of the addresses, the Mayor proposed three cheers for the President of Liberia, who showed that he was acquainted with American customs by giving three cheers more for the Mayor of the city of Philadelphia. The cheers were given with a will. Editor-in-Chief of The Negro Associated Press Makes Noted Address. (By The Associated Negro Press) Washington, May 20.—A most interesting address was made to the students of Howard University by Mr. Nahum Daniel Brascher, Editor in Chief of the Associated Negro Press, upon the subject "Reading and Justice" at the open session of the campaign to promote the reading of Negro history and literature being conducted, by the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity. The value of reading Negro history and current literature as found in the Negro magazines and newspapers of the country was most effectively brought to the attention of the students of Howard. Mr. Brascher told of the many attempts, thru the holding of conference of white and Colored editors, to cause justice to be done the Negro in the publication of news material. His story of the service the Negro press has rendered towards the building of greater race consciousness brought the students to the realization of the need of reading race books, magazines and newspapers. Mr. brascher is an interesting speaker and pleased the large audience assembled to hear him. Sunday School Record $1.00 the commencement sermon on May 22.

(By The Associated Negro Press) Washington. May 20. Vice President Calvin Coolidge, in an exclusive interview for The Associated Negro Press, declared his interest in seeing a fair adjustment of the Federalized National Guard order of former Secretary of War Baker, which is now before Secretary of War Weeks for consideration. Vice President Coolidge pointed to the manner in which Massachusetts dealt with the problem while he was governor. The soldiers were organized, and as governor, Mr. Coolidge promised that the state would stand behind the guards as long as the present order obtained. In the course of the interview the assurance was given that it is the purpose of the present Administration to be fair and just with all, that from time to time there will be developments in demonstrations of justice that will prove to the people the sincerity of purpose of the administration. THAT "ATLANTA SPEECH." The Associated Negro Press representative discussed with the vice-President his speech in Atlanta, which caused such a round of criticism and protest. It was pointed out that the Colored people of the country generally had been greatly impressed with his many stands for justice during the police strike in Boston, and were highly pleased with his fine patriotic expressions in the course of his speech of acceptance; however, it was feared that his souls rn visit, under the spell of southern entertainment, had charged his viewpoint. Without hesitation, the Vice President declared that his viewpoint had not beed changed, and that he is just as anxious now, as ever, to be fair to all, and to see that all get a square deal He regretted the protests of the Atlanta speech, but he did not offer an apology for it, he stated that the only wise course to pursue is for the people of both races who live in the South to assume a friendly attitude toward each other. "The record of the Colored soldiers in the World War will ever remain a lasting monument to their unselfish patriotism, and will not be forgotten. There is nothing anywhere to excel it, and in the affairs of the country, they must be justly considered. It is remarkable that the records show that while certain wealthy whites were fleeing from military service, I know of only one Colored person who attempted to be a slacker, and I am not so sure about that." It seems to be the desire of Vice-President Coolidge to have justice administered by exam- ple rather than by precept He seems to be of the opinion that one upstanding act of justice will go farther towards helping the cause of racial adjustment than many discourses. That Mr. Coolidge desires the good will of his fellow citizen everywhere, there seems to be no doubt. As a team-mate of President Harding, the VicePresident seems splendidly a adapted. Who Was Right. Newport News, Va., May 20, Two of six Colored men who armed with pistols, swoped down and arrested a dozen white men shooting craps in the woods in Jefferson Park recently were held for the grand jury. One of the men among the armed force was a special county officer. The white men were arrested on a gambling charge, tried right there by the Negroes, convicted and fined. After each had given up all he held he went free. All was well until local police detectives were advised. They arrested Gus Green, special officer, and Luther Fox, who claimed he had been "deputized" and charged them with highway robbery. NOTICE!

The Cause May be Right But The Man is Wrong (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., May 20,—Colonel Williams J. Simmons, the high and mighty "imperial wizard" of the Klu Klux Klan has been chosen head of the new fraternal organization recently formed by former officers of the United States Air Service. Colonel Simmons, transcendent abilities as an organizer is given as the first reason for his superlatively supreme success as the chief promoter and founder of the Klu Klux Klan sets him out as the one man in the country who possessed the high ability and spirit of Americanism deemed necessary to rejuvenate the rapidly decaying American Air Service Chicago's interest in the matter of the organization includes the selection of Major Reed Landis as its vice commander. POET AND DRAMATIST GIVE AUTHOR'S READING. (By The Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C. May 20. Mr Percy Mackaye, the distinguished poet and dramatist, gave an Author sreading at the Howard University recently in Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel. Mr. Mackaye, it will be remembered, is generally recognized as being America's leading dramatist in the field of geography. His most famous productions are: "The Canterbury Pilgrims"; "The Knights of the Air" is the cognomen that will carry what ever of fame that comes to the latest expression of Americanism to carry it adorn, or unto that matter. the corollous time. Coupling this fact we the statement that the spirit to Colonel Simon is begging in acceptance of the position of commander of the aviators organization was discussed at an executive meeting of the supreme body of the Klu Klux Klan in the city of Atlanta. Ga before the tender was accepted by his highness the imperial wizard, gave, what appears to be, a rather strange twist to the selection and acceptance of Major Reed Land s, who happens to be the son of Judge Kenesaw Housaint Landis of this city of the post of vice commander in "The Knights of the Service." A quick denial of either officials or sympathetic relation with the Klu Klux Klan has been brought forward by the men in this section who have given the "Air Service" movement their endorsement and cooperation. Major Lords, in response to a query of The Associated Negro Press declared that Colonel Sinnor's selected as commander of the aviator's organization was determined by the knowledge of the wizard's superlative abilities as an organizer. "The Knights of the Air" has no connection, official or otherwise, with the Klu Klux Klan", declared Major Landis in answer to the question of The Associated Negro Press representative, "Colonel Simmons was chosen as commander because of his splendid abilities as an organizer. Aviation has suffered a terrific slump in the United States since the close of the late war. Only two men out of one hundred who were in the war service are now to be found in its active engagement. This branch of the Army service must be strengthened. All Americans are eligible. Any Negro who shows aptitude in this direction will be cordially welcomed in our ranks. I will not have connection with any movement that does not stand for whole and complete Americanism. I have no brief for the Klu Klux Klan. Neither will I lend my support to any movement that countenances the proclaimed tents of that organization." General Pershing, Major General Charles T. Menoher, Captain "Eddie" Rickenbacker William C. Potter, chairman of the board of directors or of the Guarantee Trust of New York, Burley J. Osborn, president of the Aero Club of Massachusetts, and Major C. Anderson Wright president of the Aero Club of Texas are numbered among the Knights of the Air." A Poor Step Towards Efficiency.

It is a painful fact, that after the Negro has been a beast of burden and protector of the virtue and wealth of this country, though he saw no recompense from the hands of his oppressors, he still is being act aside by the laws of this country. The 14 million Black Americans, thought of nothing but victory for America, when the World War was in full bloom, but now the war is over and here comes prejudice-blind Senator Carraway, Democrat, from Arkansas, introducing a bill prohibiting the enlistment of Negroes in the Navy. It does seem safe for this government to enlist true citizens, who are doing their best to make the best and most loyal citizens; then it appeals to us even deeper than that; this is, the government should bring charge against or condemn any person, who would attempt to make a law that would tie its hands so it could not make broad search for the best that is in its boundaries for the safe-guarding and developing of its resources. Now, Mr. Carraway may mean to protect his race, but he also means to do it at the disadvantage of the government's interest and any man who means to hinder the government for the protection of a class, is a dangerous citizen. The Negro has proven that with malice to no one, but to the best interest to all, he stands ready to develop himself and his country. If America does not want to cultivate these principles its days are numbered and once more the "Hand of God is writing on the Wall." Let every Negro in this country send in his personal disapproval and let every organization, both religious and otherwise send in resolutions asking for full rights as Americans. 5 AN APPEAL TO REASON. IT took the Union Army in 1861 to stop the Kuklux Klan and every other disgraceful thing to a civilized country, why would a Christian country set a pace of 60 years and then allow that same devilment to take form and be born again in the heart of its Christian civilization? Would not facts justify the American government, that it has done a noble work for the Master when it sets it set of people free, who were able to take on the full development of their much boasted Christian civilization? Would the Negro or any other race feel like stop sinning to see a set of God fearing men and women marching under the Banner of King Immauel, than to see men organized in an organization, that they have to cover their faces as shields from the eyes of the public and to protect their guilty conscience from many facts that they know will look on their disgrace from public demonstration, than with signs of warning for the protection of American Womanhood? Now, if this organization is a protection for American Womanhood, our race has a few million right down in Texas and Georgia, and really a few thousand in Brenham, Texas who need some protection from half of those loyal, honest, but shame-faced Kluklux Klans. If your object is as worthy as you say, then it should be the organization for all humanity, then why not help the Negro organize for the protection of American womanhood? There are millions of black women needing your protection or making it mild, wishing you would let them alone. The reason that Jesus could organize and march through the streets. He conquered self first and made self behave, then He saw the virtue in it for society, though He went away. He asked us to keep up the good work; do it publicly. "He that is ashamed to own me before men, him will I be ashame to own before my Father in heaven." People don't hide to protect right, you may have to hide to catch the wrong, and you will hide to do wrong. O, you crooked generation! We dare you, yes double you to take off your mask and give the defenseless Negro woman privilege to point out the one, who caused her disgrace. Yes, we can hear millions cry as one voice: "There is mine," in the march for righteousness in the day time and a destroyer at night. We can't blame your order for covering their faces, ye hypocrite to American Civilization, upon the rock planted by your own prejudice, will the old-ship-of-state, wreck.

He is ahead looking forward, teach His truths and men will forsake their ways and will not bother your women nor any one, and neither will you. Let the Negro do his part as men and woman against the hellish movement until God brings us the reinforcement. Evangelistic Epigrams. I believe that some of you church members would even sit in judgment on God if He were here in Wichita. If your boy is not taught to treat the other fellow's sister as he would want his own to be treated he is a living fraud. Where there is reverence for God there is always reverence for parents. Crystal gazing and palmistry are both works of the devil. Until you married women and you older men and women take a stand against let-ups in the moral standards, there can be no hope for the younger generations. Don't starve out the love for your mother and think that you can make up for it with a wreath of flowers at her funeral. God has given you lots of friends and lots of things that can be replaced, but He has given you only one mother.—Clipping. LOCAL NEWS. Tuesday afternoon the G. L. A.
