Negro Star

We Reach The People THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE VOL.14 NO.15 (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., May 27 -The perpetrators of bomb outrages on the homes of Negro citizens are in the churches of the law. At least this is the opinion of numbers of Colored and white people who have been watching the developments of the campaign recently launched to capture the persons and their backers who have exercised a reign of bomb terror for the past several years throughout the city. Andrew Kerr, a member of a local union labor organization, was arrested in the early part of the week as a bomb suspect. Mr. Kerr, feeling that the police had the goods on him, promptly legan to talk with the result that within a few hours following his confession the police had in their net the men who bombed the home of ex Alderman Oscar Depriest as well as another number who are alleged to have been the principals in a large number of instances of labor disputes in which the bomb was used as an instrument of quite ungentle persuasion. It was not long after the arrests that rumors began to fly around that Hyde Park Improvement Association, the organization, which has been accused of being behind the numerous bombing of Colored people's homes, would be hopelessly involved in the matter. Kerr admits that he, with others under arrest, were hired to do bombing. Negroes' homes were among the places bombed by this nefarious gang. It follows, many people declare, that the gang was hired to bomb the homes of Colored people by parties who had the money to pay for the work. It is definitely known that the Hyde Park anti-Negro association possessed a fund acknowledged by its members of more than $200,000 with which to prosecute a campaign to crowd out and prevent the occupation of certain territory by Colored families. In the DePriest bombing Kerr flatly declares that he and his companions were hired to do the job because of their expert knowledge of the bombing. Up to the present he has declined to tell who the parties behind him are, in this particular instance. The police express the opinion that he is not through talking. That when he becomes hard pressed he will then open his mouth very wide and tell all he knows about all the recent bombings. Then the fur is expected to fly with a vengeance. If the opinions of the people who have been alert to follow all the clues that have been unearthed within the past year are worth anything, the group of associations who have been busy pushing a vigorous anti-Negro propaganda in our city have good reason to quake with fear. Two gangs of expert bombers are under arrest. It is now confidently expected that within a few days that the backers of these toughs and criminals will also be in the toils. In the mean time a group of colored men are adding to defense fund for the WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, May 27, 192. purpose of bringing the bersers to justice and thereby end the reign of bimting terror which has caused so much unrest among the respectable colored people in the great city of Chicago. 1 Pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, Wichita, Kansas, has recently had the degree of Doctor of Divinity conferred on him by the Educational Board of Western College, the School Gon which Dr. Butler graduated with honor in 1905. Dr. Butler is counted as one of the strong, gospel preachers of this country and an efficient pastor as well as a great church builder. He is one of our National characters, and well known by the leading ministers of our National Convention. He is treasurer of the B. Y. P. U., and S. S. Congress of America, the largest body of young people in the world. Dr. Butler is well thought of by both races of this prosperous city because of the splendid service he has rendered during his ten years of pastorate here. The Negro Star congratulates this great pastor and hope God may see fit to keep him in our city to assist in leading the Christian Army to higher plans of service, to the destroying of the kingdom of the wicked one. Guthrie, Okla. News. Special to The Negro Star:— I have visited Newkirk and Ponca City, while in those towns I was lucky enough to secure several new subscribers; enclosed find same-to be entered on your mailing list. While in Ponca City, I met Prof, J. O Dedman of Claremore, Okla., district manager of Tulsa District for the North Carolina Life Insurance Co., of Durham, N. C. I also met the Women's Home Mission Society at the Baptist Church, after the meeting was over, I was introduced to the congregation and I introduced The Negro Star; in doing so I appointed an agent and reporter in both these places. When in Ponca City, don't fail to stop at Mrs. Cidwell's restaurant 208½ S. 3rd St. She will give you the best of service. On leaving Ponca City, for Perry, stopped there only one day; there I met Elder Wood, and Miss Willis the teacher of the Blaine Public School, also witnessed the Commencement, it was just fine; many present. I arrived here Saturday, 21st and found this town very dull. On last Sunday morning, Sunday School was fine at the Church of the Living God Elder Hodges of Luther, is pastoring. At 12:15 the pastor preached a good sermon and said several things concerning the doctrine. At 4 p. m., the Bible Band was fine, also the night sermon.

Secretary of war Weeks Asks for Absolute Fairness in Every State. This Means Death to Senator Caraway's Bill (By The Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C, May 27. Secretary of War Weeks has let it be known that any state may include Colored Americans in the Federalized National Guard, in such proportions as they may determine, on an absolute basis of fairness. This information the Secretary gave to Attorney W Clarence Matthews of Boston, in an interview at the War Department. It repudiates the order issued by former Secretary of War Baker, which has caused nationwide criticism, and which has prevented Colored Americans from enlisting in National Guards except as "pioneer" or labor organizations. The Associated Negro Press recently carried an extensive story on this subject, which was laid personally before the Secretary of War, Vice President Colidge, and others Vice President Coolidge, a personal interest in the subject, for, as Governor of Massachusetts, he was prevented by the Baker order from including a battalion of Massachusetts National Guard in the regular state quota, in a manner in keeping with the traditions of the state. At that time Mr. Coolidge proceeded to organize anyway, and declared that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts would stand behind the organization until Confirmation Occasion at St. David's Negro Mission. (By The Associated Negro Press) New York, May 27 - Thirty three Colored children were confirmed at St David's Negro mission, by Bishop W. T. Manning. This was the first confirmation by the bishop. He was accompanied by his two daughters. Francis and Elizabeth About 500 persons witnessed the confirmation. The Rev. George Clifton,founder and rector of the mission, introduced Bishop Manning to the audience. The Bishop recalled that the first baptism he ever performed was in 1921.,when he baptized two Negro children in Tennessee. Gov. Dorsey of Georgia Wins for Right. (By The Associated Negro Press) Atlanta, Ga May 27 - Ir Governor Dorsey wins in his fight for better treatment of Negroes in Georgia, he must do it almost single-handed. He has the moral support of ministers, teachers and womens' clubs, but has brought down upon himself an avalanche of criticism and abuse from other state officials and public men. Saturday Governor-elect Thos. W. Hardwick and Sam L. Clive, president of the senate, and-by reason of that position-second in authority to the governor, both denounced the governor for vilification of Georgia and for slanderous charges without basis Senator Caraway's Bill. a change of administration. At the time of making this statement, Mr. Coolidge was not a candidate for any office. Recently, Mr. Matthews, who was formerly assistant District Attorney in Boston, in company with a representative of the Associated Negro Press, took the subject up with the Vice President, and Mr. Matthews reminded the Vice President of his remarks The Vice President, true to his promise, took the matter up immediately with the Secretary of War. This decision by Secretary Weeks, who will doubtless issue a formal statement on the subject, permits Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Illinois, and the District of Columbia where there have been National Guards for years, to organize on a just basis. I will also permit such other states as may desire to recognize Colored units to organize on a basis in keeping with principles and justice Senator Curavay of Arkansas has introduced a bill to exclude all Negro citizens from the Army and Navy, now henceforth and forever. It is stated that his bill will not get out of the Committee, but serves to show the spirit with which the Race, and other real Americans must contend. of fact. The criticism was brought on by publication of a report prepared by the governor in which he listed 135 cases of alleged mis-treatment, murder, lynching and peonage, wite Negroes as the victims. He declared Georgia would be as severely condemned, if this condition continued, as Belgium and Leopold were condemned by God and man for the Congo atrocities President Olive, in bitter language, denied the existence of conditions as described by the governor, that the only way to stop lynchings was to stop rape and murder; declared that peonage did not exist generally, but said the Southern farmers were compelled to make their Negro farm hands work out on contracts. He said that further agitation of the public over the race problem might bring serious results, and declared that Gov. Dorsey's statements had already cost Georgia farmers thousands of dollars because of the stirring up of discussion among Negroes. Worthy of the Medal.

A Bill-Board of Achievements of the Negro Without a Chance. (By Associated Negro Press) New York City, N. Y. May 27. The Billboard, commenting on its appointment of J. A. Jackson on its editorial staff, prints the following; "When the publisher of the Hillboard inaugurated Jackson's page in the interest of the Colored artist and his employer, many regarded the move as being visionary, as entering the field devoid of possibilities. This seemed true, because few even in the amusement business, were aware of tremendous artistic and financial strides that had been made in this particular field in the past decade. The first six months of cultivation in this phase of theatrical enterprises has disclosed the following interesting facts. Already there is listed on the desk of the Editor: 87 picture houses, nine of which are equipped for shows. 112 theatres, playing vaudeville, road shows and pictures. 112 are owned by white persons, five of these managed by Negro managers. 74 are owned by Negroes 14 the race of the management has not been ascertained. Of a total of 200, 81 are connected with organized circuits. In addition to these interests there has come to the attention of the Billboard: 14 film companies, producing pictures with Negro casts. Seven of these are owned by Negroes Nine parks in five different states have communicated with the editor of the page, as have four fair associations. 47 theatrical companies and 12 companies with carnivals are listed on the desk. 39 hands and orchestras, 12 booking agencies and 3'professional clubs are listed in the files; so are 5 circus groups. Medicine men, scene painters, composers, authors, modiates, advance agents and singers are among these folks. 170 vaudeville and burlesque actors have approved the page by letter or personal calls. These represented more than 500 partners or associations in their respective acts. (On a recent trip across seven states, going as far south as Chattanooga and far we tas Chicago, 377 Colored performers and 857 musicians of the race were encountered. Of the 101 papers, many holding franchises in the Associated Negro Press, 32 were found to have established theatrical departments, in some instances of one column, some a full page and in two notable papers of the race three pages are devoted to the amusement interests. These are the Chicago Defender and the Indianapolis Freeman. With the rumors and tips that constitute a veritable mass of in complete information yet to be developed, there is little doubt that the biggest surprise of the amusement business is probably to be found in the quiet advance of the Negro in all phases of the business. Six Negro banks, two insurance companies of the race, 3 realty corporations are so far dissolved as being interested in properties devoted to amusement enterprises. There is little wonder that an occasional artist astonishes the public when one considers this little known back ground from which he emerges in search of the greater audience. The capital, business organizations, dramatic schools and talent heretofore withheld from general notice is indeed full of fruitful possibilities and news values. When more complete these lists will be published for the benefit of those who may find them of interest." PRICE, FIVE CENTS Post Master General Hays says, There Must Be No Discrimination. (By The Associated Negro Press) Washington, May 27.—"More Business in Politics: More Politics in Business," is the new slogan of the day. Letters are pouring into heads of departments, Senators, Congressmen and editors of newspapers these days commenting on steps being taken in behalf of justice for all American citizens; and an equal number of protests are coming in demanding action against segregation and discrimination. The Associated Negro Press exposure of conditions has created a stir that is bringing direct results. Care, in the extreme, has been taken not to saddle present conditions on the Harding administration. It has been pointed out that the terrible state of affairs is a legacy of the discountenanced Wilson regime. However, Republicans are cautioned to "Beware the Ideas of March," for the reason that discovery has been that some appointees are slipping in who are scared to the soul with the segregation notions of American citizenship. In a story a short time ago, it was stated that certain conditions had been discovered in one of the cabinet departments. The matter was taken up by correspondents with the members of the cabinets and it has been amazingly discovered that the member of the cabinet has never been permitted to see the communication. This secretary who is a southerner, has kept the information from him. This secretary, when informed of certain conditions by the Associated Negro Press, said that it was a matter for the departments to handle within and not the newspapers and outside public. He was told that there still exists in that department certain segregation conditions and this secretary stated that he could not see why there should be any objection: While the matter is being further thrashed out, the name of the particular department is not given POSTMASTER GENERAL ACTS. A flagrant case is that of Miss Zelma A. Robinson, a young woman who was certified for a position in the Postoffice Department. At the time she was in Philadelphia, and was telegraphed She came immediately to Washington and reported for duty. When she reported, she was told, in the same old way, that the place had been filled. Returning to the Commission, she was told that there were at least twenty-five places that had not been filled. The matter was taken up with the committee on the Legislative Relief, and Mrs. M. L. Grey and a group of women. They in turn took the subject up direct with Postmaster General Hays. He stated that he had heard of certain discrimination in the department, but had not had an opportunity to go at the bottom. But, he assured the Committee, there must be no discrimination in Post Office Civil Service. He personally investigated Miss Robinson's case, and she was reassigned to the place that had been filled, and is now working. ——————————— SSS SSR, aT .

U. Congress. It is highly probable that every State Sundry School and B. Y. P. U. Convention will be represented by messengers. It seems that, in most cases, the Presidents of the Conventions will be sent to represent them. This is a wise move. The leaders of our young people need the stimulation which the Congress affords. Up to date leaders, with modern methods of organization and operation are in great demand among our people. Reprints indicate also that a greater number of pastors will attend the Congress than have attended any previous session. This is also encouraging news. The hearty cooperation of the pastors is essential to the success of the work of any department of church activities. The Baptists of Missouri and Kansas are co-operating heartily in efforts to give the Congress messengers the greatest reception that has been tendered them. Every Local Union and Sundry School should be represented by messenger or letter. It is far better to send messengers if it is possible; if it is impossible, every Baptist Organization should be represented by letter. This Organization is intended to benefit all grades of Christian Workers and for that reason should be liberally supported by all. Each Sunday School and Union is urgently requested to select delegates and send their names to Rev. S. W. Bacote, D. D., Kansas City, Mo. LOCAL NEWS. Mr. O. Garret transacted business with the firm Thursday. Mr. Smith of 1300 block on Wabash favored us with a business order Thursday. Mrs. S. A.

E church The President Mr. Maurice Jones made introductory remarks at the opening of the meeting expressing his appreciation and thanks to his officers, Communities, and all others who contributed in any way to make the organization a success.

St. Mary Baptist. St. Mary Baptist Church, corner 12th and Wabash, Rev. J. E. Douglass, pastor. Services were very fair last Sunday the Lord's Spirit was in evidence: The Sunday School session was an enjoyable one with Bro. A. Washington at his post, and the subject:—"Working with others" was really benefiting to all and there was a good crowd out. The devotionals by the choir and officers at 11 o'clock was real inviting. At 11:30, the minister chose for his text, the Theme of, which was "Children, obey your parents." We found from his argument that there is yet much to be done by both parent and child. At the close of the sermon we had three joiners, thank God for that. We fellowshipped 14 to our membership at this time; yet thankful to God. At 3 o'clock the U. B. Fs., and S. M Ts., sermon was preached by Rev. Edmond. A splendid program was rendered by the ladies of mid society. The declaration of the Grand Master was read by our pastor, Rev. Douglass. Dr. F. O. Miller as Master of Ceremony, knows his business and succeeds at more than practicing medicine. He is also Grand Master of the State of Kansas, as we understand it. The affair was a success to say the least. Our Union session at 6 o'clock p.m., was grand, conducted by Rev. W. B. Gary in the absence of the President Bro. Lemuel Newton, who was out of the city at that time. At 8 o'clock p. m., our minister spoke to us upon a theme: "The cause of our failure." A splendid congregation and all seemed to have enjoyed the services. Our church house is a house of prayer and affection, come and worship with us; we will do you good. Collection $60.87. Calvary Baptist. Morning Sermon: "A call to Prayer"—"Christianize men without prayer and you make them but clever devils," said the Duke of Wellington, Colton said, "Philosophy is a bully that talks loud when danger is at a distance, but the moment she is hard pressed she is not to be found at her post, but leaves the brunt of the battle to be done by her humbler and steadier comrade—Prayer, whom on most other occasions, she affects to despise." That is the great value of the knowledge of Prayer. In it is found the crutch of life, upon which to lean when all other props are gone. The key that opens the door to the chamber of solace when all other doors are closed—Learn to pray. A myriad of life's lessons can be learned by depending on it. It is the chart and compass by which to sail the seas of existence: the cloud by day, the pillar of fire by night which is to guide our feet along the stone-strewn journey of life's tortuous highway it is the treasury of the world's knowledge, the custodian of the heritage of the ages, the preserver of spiritual balm that heals the troubles of the soul, it is the yester- day, to-day and to-morrow, the reflection of the past, the mirror of the present, the prophecy of the future, it is the scroll of time, the promise of eternity, it portrays the cycle of life with its cross and its crown, it is old, (but nothing outside of it is new,) it is the dynamo of the church, the very seed of life man's all-in-all. When a church ceases to pray, its success is limited and its prestage gone. Pray in season and out; learn to have a need for Prayer. The greatest personages the world ever knew became great because they resorted to prayer at all times. Pray for success as a Christian then pray to retain such success. Night Sermon—"The Law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul." Christians, learn and abide by it. It will guide and keep you at all times. It will make you a good Christian in any community. It will make the world respect and know who you no terror for you.

U, and S. S. Congress of America will open its session in Kansas City, Mo. June 22, 1921. Dr. S. W. Bascote is making ample preparation to take care of this great body of Christian Workers. The West is especially favored by having the Congress to convene in this section of our Commonwealth. If the B. Y. P. U. workers superintendents, teachers, and laymen of the West miss attending this wonderful Christian school, and avail themselves with the opportunity to be informed, you will miss one of the Needed privileges of a life time. Providence has arranged that this Congress convene within the gates of one of our great Western cities. Hundreds of our Young people in the West have been deprived of the opportunity to attend the Congress because of the expense invoked. This year this barrier is removed, and I am advising our young workers to be counted in the great number of Baptist who shall sit at the shrine of Bible knowledge in Kansas City. The Congress is not only a great school in what ever City it convenes but it is a great source of inspiration. In this Congress you come in contact with the best talent in the race as well as with noted prepared men and women who cannot be excelled any where. When you sit at the feet of these specialists you will leave with your horizon lifted, your vision enlarged and your soul afamed with the desire to do great things for the Master. I especially speak to our great family of Kansas. There is not a Sunday School nor B. Y. P. U; but what should represent in the Congress. If you can, represent through your delegates. If this is not possible send your representative fee of $2.50 and be a member. By this means you assist in sustaining the Congress from year to year hereby teaching and indoctrinating in the name of Jesus our Lord. This is the greatest body of Christian young people in the world. Delegates will be there from every section of the Coun- Shades Include reindeer, peacock, sand, navy, brown and black Just the garment for cool evenings and it is so favored of fashion: $10.00 Handsome Plaid Skirts.....$5.00 $6.00 Tricolette Scarfs, all shades.....$3.98 $5.98 Satin Petticoats, whie or pink, $2.98 $7.98 White Serge Skirts pleated models $5.00 double panel..... $3.00 Front Lace Corsets, in pink.....$1.98 $1.50 Back Lace Corsete in pink..... 98c $1.69 Extra Size Muslin Gowns, em- broidery trimmed.....$1.00 $4.00 JO.IN NOW $4.00 Ten Y.
