THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE VOL.14 NO.12 Y. M. C: A. CELEBRATES FOURTH OF JULY. Without a ripple of trouble, the faithful members of the Y. M. C. A. gave its first out door entertainment last Monday under the supervision of Capt. W. L. Hutchinson. He called it an Old Fashion Barbecue; and, if Old Fashion means something good: "the Barbecue was Old Fashion. Then it was such a pleasant day and our guests were such pleasant and sociable people until the whole day passed unnoticed. In spite of the many attractions we had large numbers and choice guests all day, eating, drinking and fanning for the City Tournament, which eliminated all the amateurs early, then came the real players, when the four doctors met to decide the double championship. Contested from every point of merit and showing every sign of skill as they battled, but one side had to win and one side did win and Doctors P. M. Bell and A. K. Lawrence were winners. Ofcourse Mr. B. N. Hunigan holds the champion ship for singles as he is head of the class when it comes to tennis playing and won on the 4th as usual. Mrs. G. Walton and her partner won the champion croquet game. The games were contested in the best of Christian spirit and everybody enjoyed the outing and Y. M. C. A., got a real hearing in Wichitr, for social entertaining. (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, July 8.—In appreciation of the bravery of Policeman Albert McGruder of the Wahash avenne station, who was shot last Friday night when he repulsed twelve handits single-handed, Hurder's Fireproof Storage and Van'company, 40th St and Calumet avenue, has forwarded a check for $100 to the Tribune and asked that it be given to McGruder. "We want to compensate this officer for taking the stand he did against twelve bandits," the letter reads. "We believe bravery of this kind should be rewarded." McGruder, who is a Negro, while in full uniform came upon two auto loads of men who the police believe, were about to blow a safe in the Harder warehouse. He gave battle and was wounded in the leg, but is certain he shot at least one of the men before they made their escape. Texas Negroes Launch A Great Enterprice (By The Associated Negro Press) Fort Worth, July 8 - The formation of a real estate corporation to provide a hotel and bathing facilities was launched at Galveston, by Colored people from many parts of Texas assembled in a conference held at the Masonic Temple last Wednesday afternoon, according to the statement of A G. Perkins, local Colored lawyer. The plan is to raise $30,000 for the improvements, which will and must be first class and on a suitable location north of the seawall boulevard. Minimum subscriptions of $100 are to be received by and kept on deposit with either Ed. McCarthy & Co. bankers, Galveston, or the Fraternal Bank and Trust Co. of Fort Worth. Receipts will be issued by these banks to each subscriber, and if for any reason the corporation plan is abandoned each bank will return to each WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, July, 8 1921. Family and Principle First Say Col. By The Negro Associated Press Washington, July 8.—Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Atlanta, Ga., has been nominated for Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia. President Harding in sending the name of Mr. Johnson to the Senate created a distinct surprise in political circles and none was more surprised than Col. Johnson himself. He has let it be distinctly understood that he was not a candidate for office and that under no circumstances would he resign as a member of the Republican National Committee. To the A N P. representative Col Johnson said. "I know nothing of this and am not yet sure I will accept. I must first talk the matter over with my loved ones in my family. My desire is to be of the greatest service to my people and I will yield nothing in principle for public possession." A group of southern Democratic senators have announced that they will oppose the nomination but it certain their opposition will not prevail. Washington and the country are waterfully waiting for action upon the Registrar of Treasury. Some wise, politically, profess to feel that the insurgent movement threatened by 100 Republican congressmen and led by Rep. Ansorge may cause a revival of interest by the powers that be. Lily Whites vs Black and Tans. Tampa, Fla., July 8.—A bitter patronage row is on between the Florida "billy whites" or irregulars, and the "black and tans" or regular Republican organization. The "billy whites" are fighting the appointment of Matthew B. McFarlane of this city to be collector of customs for the Florida ports and have so far succeeded in blocking his confirmation by the senate. McFarlane was nominated by President Harding ten days ago to succeed John F. C. Griggs of Tampa. It is expected the objection will be unavailing and that McFarlane's nomination will shortly be confirmed. Savannah Opens A Fine Bank Building. (By The Associated Negro Press) Savannah, Ga., July 8, the Savannah Savings and Real Estate corporation, one of the largest banking houses in the city, was opened last Monday morning at Gaston and West Broad streets. The building is 73 by 100 feet, and is of four to six. The structure is of concrete and steel and is finished with terracotta trimming and faced brick. This is one of the largest and most imposing structures on West Broad street and is in the heart of the Negro business district. subscriber without any discount whatsoever, all the move which may have been subscribed. A three day session of the thirty-fifth annual grand convocation of the Grand Chapter, was held here last week in Masonic Temple, built by the Negro masons of Texas at a cost of approximately $50,000. A W. Edwards of Cleburne, grand high priest, presided. ANNUAL ADDRESS DELIVERED BY PRES. D. W.CANNAN TO YOUNG BAPTIST WORKERS IN CONGRESS SESSION BEFORE S.S. AND B.Y. P.U. CONGRESS KAYSAS CITY. Mr. Dear Delegation, Ladies and ence and effect of the war--but the Gentlemen: war by the class of men that it for- By the Providential leading of Almighty God, we are met in this magnificent city—the nation's gateway to the great West—and have opened the 16th Annual Session of the National Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress of America. Urgent swells of emotion surge within my breast as I think of the past and its successes and its failures; and I am looking on into a future radiant with hope and full of promise. I thank God for the victories we have gained and for the defeats we have experienced, since we assembled a year ago at the Nation Capitol. Thank God for the successes we have achieved and for the failures we have made during the intervening months for each success and every failure have contributed a part to the sum total of that which we call the success of our grand and God-inspired organization. I have been charmed again and again, by the splendid optimism that characterized every letter I have received from the field. Every worker, writing me, was hopeful and encouraged in his work and predicted unprecedented victories during the sessions which now engage our thought and prayer. Let us not come short of the successes and achievements which were prophesied concerning this meeting. I am indeed glad to meet and to greet again such princely heroes and heroines as you who face me at this hour; for it is your spirit and your genius which have made this Congress the greatest body of young Christians doing business anywhere under the orbit of the shining sun, and have made me your humble servant, the happiest president that lives upon the earth today. God be praised for you and for the mighty potentighties which are inherent within you! Our Baptist denomination be congratulated upon having you as its greatest and most promising asset! I hail your presence with much delight and with expectancy. The message which I bring to you to-day, comes in the form of a call to you to meet the challenge of the new day that now confronts the church and the world. A new day, brimful of new demands has certainly dawned and challenges the best there is in everyone of you! Will you not rise to the full measure of that challenge. The church of the living God has no where a greater asset than its young people. They are its joy in the present and its only hope for the future and the task prominent and imperative that confronts the church today is that of calling out and preparing its young life to meet this persistent challenge that will not down. Not! It will ret. it cannot it must not down until it has been met and its every demand satisfied. In my address last year, I brought to your attention the many calls made upon you, by the times in which you live, for various phases and classes of service; but this year I want to bring to you a task less varied and quite more definite than that presented to you last year. It is the task of meeting "The Challenge of this New Day." The call of this new day is for leadership and I wish to call you unto the task of providing within and of yourselves the leadership which the new day demands. I am not calling for that leadership, alone, which will distinguish itself in the work and life of the church, but I am calling for that leadership that blazes the way for the feet of men and women who would go into paths of religion, business, social service or any other line of activity that will lift the human race and hasten the coming of the Kingdom of God. I repeat; the call of the New Day is for leadership—real and strong leadership. It is hard to get us away from the influ- ence and effect of the war—but the war by the class of men that it forced to the fore, in military matters, has caused the world to take notice. It has taught all observers, that proficiency, self forgetfulness and the losing of all personal ambition, in a common desire to see some big thing done for the good of all the people, are the signs of that kind of leadership that the world needs will back up and follow. And the demand for that kind of leadership in religion in business and in every constructive movement, is more evident and more urgent today than at any time since the days of the apostles. Its the kind the church needs and will have. And so far from failing read the signs of the times—instead of closing our ears to that call so urgent, I am urging you, as young Baptists, to furnish in your lives and characters in your deeds and the motives back of these deeds the kind of leadership which I verily believe the spirit of God has insured the people to call for and to insist upon. The world wants true leadership, along all lines. Kingdoms have fallen, dynasties have been overthrown, and emperors have been deposed—all as the result of the people's insistant demand for a certain brand of leadership, a brand the like of which. I am sorry to say, the world has not had very much. But in this new day, that brand of leadership must come to the fors or there will be a new revolution—a social, a political and a religious revolution by the side of which, the French and similar political revolutions will pale into utter insignificance. There is, as surely as you hear me today, a silent yet determined movement in the church of God toward the dethroning of that leadership which is not actuated by the highest and most altruistic motives to seek places of leadership and power among the people of God. The axe is already lying at the root of the trees of that dictatorial kind of leadership which never thinks of itself—as only representative of something and some one higher—the end towards which all the currents of its own influence move and the object of all its own effort and the efforts of all others whom it leads. Now to a presentation and analysis of the leadership which this new day demands;—It demands (a) A leadership that is consecrated—By consecrated leadership is meant that sort of leadership which is set apart and is applying itself to a definite end. That leadership which is actuated by somewhat the same motive as that which inspired the apostle Paul when he uttered that eternal edict which dominated his life. "This one thing I do." It must be confessed that there is to-day a woeful lack of real consecration on the part of many who stand in the place of leaders. There is too often that half-hearted service that characterizes the hireling and the mercenary. But with you it must not be so—your one great and all absorbing purpose should be, to lead those who follow you, into broader fields of Christian and racial service unto higher heights of personal consecration and into profounder depths of humiliation and preparation for the service of God through the service of God's people. In performing the function of this kind of leadership, the element of selfishness must be left out—Self abnegation and self for getting are the marks of true leadership. No man can do his best for others and at the same time think much of himself. He should think of himself only so much as he thinks of how to keep himself in frime to do his best for those whom under the Spirit's direction he leads. The dominant and reigning sin of this age, is selfishness—egoism over against altruism—That spirit in man, oppresses the (Continued on page two) --- (By The Associated Negro Press) Kansas City, Mo., July 8. The Colored Woman's National Republican League has issued a call for a national convention of Negro women, to be held here during the week of Aug. 22nd to 27th. Efforts are being made to have every share represented. (By The Associated Negro Press) Houston, Tex., July 8. -Arthur Scott, Colored, about 20 years old, was drowned while bathing in Buffalo bayou about 1 o'clock last Sunday afternoon. He was with others and one of the party who endeavored to rescue Scott, narrowly escaped being pulled under by the drowning man. The Houston Undertaking company answered the call with an ambulance, but owing to the swift current and high water, due to recent rains, it was impossible to recover the body during the afternoon or night. Can You Beat This? (By The Associated Negro Press) Birmingham, Ala, July 8. Theodore Rosevelt, during his life time a stauch fighter of race suicide, would have been highly pleased to meet a certain Negro resident of Birmingham who visited the city welfare department last Monday asking for aid. He told that department he was the father of two sets of triplets and two sets of twins, besides a scattering of solos in ebony. Killed At The Crossing. (By The Associated Negro Press) Atlanta, Ga., July 8. - A Colored woman and a 19 months old baby are dead and two others are in Mercy hospital as the result of a collision last Saturday afternoon, at 1 o'clock, when southbound passenger train No. 24 struck an automobile containing the four occupants at the Ellenwood crossing. The two who miraculously escaped instant death are thought to be in a dying condition. The dead are Bertha Martin, of 132 Fraser street, Atlanta, and Julia Martin, of Morrow, one of the occupants who escaped. Those in the local host pital and expected to die, are the mother of the dead child and Kaesor Stewart of Morrow. It is thought that the autoists were speeding toward the crossing, and seeing the train too late apply the brakes, attempted to beat the oncoming flyer across. The woman was killed instantly, the child dying while en route in the auto to the Atlanta hospital. The two survivors of the wreck were in an unconscious condition when picked up by a passing automobile. Cherryvale News. Rev. C. Teal preached Rev. J. S.

Gibson, of Coffeyville, Mr. and Mrs. Farler, of Sudan, PRICE, FIVE CENTS NO COLOR IN THOUGHT. Washington, July 8.—That 160 or more were given diplomas in the recent commencement of Dunbar High School, was remarkable. More remarkable, however, was the ovation given reiring Supt. Roscoe Conkling Bruce. For fully three minutes, when he awarded the prizes, the audience of 3,000 applauded. Mrs. Corsale F. Cook, a member of the board of education delivered the address. "There is no color in thought." declared Mrs Cook. Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary-Treasurer of Howard University, who represented the institution at the installation of President Angell of Yale College, was extended every courtesy in keeping with the unusual occasion. Some one referred to William Pickens, a contributing editor of the Associated Negro Press as "the Arthur Brisbane of Negro journalism." The mitter has not been taken up with Mr Pickens for his official O K., but it seems a safe guess that the distinguished writer prefers no comparisons except with 'William Pickens.' Mr Pickens is fundamentally and essentially an individualist. Echoes From The Riot. Chicago, July 8, - Eccles of the Chicago race riot which started at a bathing beach, were revived recently when a group of whites attacked Colored people at 39th street and the lake. The district peopled by Colored residents has no beach but at 29th and 39th streets there are pools which the public has been accustomed to using. Under the law all citizens have the right to use beaches, but whites have been steadily trying to intimidate Negroes who venture to bathe. The police are watching the situation carefully. motored over to Cherryvale, Sunday to witness the basketminder, they did not stay for afternoon services on account of the rain. Miss S. H. Winston and daughter Ruth Gene accompanied Mrs. Gibson from Coltleyville, to Cherryvale Sunday. Ruth Gene has been the guest of Mrs. Gibson since June 13th. Mrs. Winston and Ruth Gene returned to Chanute Sunday evening. Mrs A. F. Toliver, her brother, son and Mr. C Lee, came from Buffalo, to visit Mrs. Toliver's parents Mrs. Ratchiff over the 4th Mrs. Toliver and son will visit a week longer. Mrs. T.

THE NEGRO STAR PUBLISHING CO. 1241 Wabash Avenue Wichita. Kansas (Continued from first page.) ANNUAL ADDRESS CON- weak, exploits the ignorant and is at the foundation of all the world's industrial, social and economic unrest Keep the element of selfishness out of your life and leadership—Whether you lead in business, education, politics or religion—if you would do permanent good and hold your influence with increasing power or through all the years that you would lead men. There is much questioning and criticism of the leadership of today. Some of it is well founded too I am sorry to confess; and, where it is well founded, it is due to the presence of the idea and element of selfishness in that leadership that is under suspicion. This selfishness, more often than otherwise, exhibits itself in graft, in haughtiness and in alignments and alliances intended to thwart the wishes of those whose will should be obeyed. If you are leaders in educational and other forms of social uplift, do it unselfishly. If you are leaders in politics, do it unselfishly.—Henry L. Johnson. If you are leaders in religion, of course do it unselfishly. The element of pomp and show is left out of leadership that is consecrated. The real consecrated leader is that one who can go ahead and lead men unto real victories and then after all is accomplished say: "Let any body that wants it have the glory but let my joy be that of seeing the things done which God wanted done and in the doing of which He used me—silently and imperceptibly—in His name and for His glory not my own" (Reddick) There is to-day too much desire for pomp and the plandits of men on the part of many of us who would read. Why should I care whether men see and applaud my deeds? Does not God see? Are not the rewards which He gives more lasting, if sometimes less spectacular, that those that come from men? Some leaders of my own acquaintance have confessedly failed to do their best because, as they put it, they saw no way of getting the honor and glory of men that they felt themselves entitled. Now my young people, with you I pled that you may be saved from the error, into which many older ones have fallen, the error of seeling glory and the plauditts of men out of the service which you are supposed to be rendering for God. Indeed one of the truest signs, sometimes, that you are doing big things, for God is that men fail to recognize and place the proper estimate upon your service. Who has ten crussed and rebused, by designing men and women more than has been our great cheifian, Dr. E. C. Morris? But where is there, since the Apostle Paul, a leader greater and more constructive Christian leader than he? Who has been called a failure and a dreamer more than has been our own Dr. E. W. D. Isane? But who was the first man in all Christian lom to organize and to make potent the life of his denomination and then hand this young life—organized and energized—over to a leader of its own age and kind and say to him: "Marshall this young life and direct this aburdart energy unto the glory of God and the strengthening of the great National Baptist Convention that gave it life and form and will give it strength to succeed? (Memphis) Whose motives have been impugned more than have been those of that Missionary Statesman and Christian leader, Dr. L. G. Jordan? But where is the Foreign Missionary Secretary, who is demonstrating more fully than he the possibility of Foreign Missionary Work under Negro direction? The same critician hurled at these are hurled daily at all of the leaders of the National Baptist Convention and at the Convention itself. And yet despite its and their imperfections, the National Baptist Convention led on by these same criticized and maligned gentlemen, is being used of God as few evenc'es can be used to help "this King lom to come and His will to be done, on earth as it is done in heaven." And then the element of courage must be a large ingredient in that consecrated leadership which the new day calls for—I fear lest you young people may have the wrong conception of the word "courage"—A leadership to be courageous does not find it necessary, ever, to be foolhardy Conservation and courage must go land in hand that easier or either may shine out to the best advantage. By courage is meant that bravery or daring which knows to what end to press itself and is always conscious of the boundary between that which is proper and that which is ridiculous. Surely it contends for the right, all the time and everywhere, but it does so in a wise and conservative way, never looking sight of the end desired, but going to that end along the lines that will most surely lead to it and yet not cause destructive catastrophes to stalk in its wake.

This partial jim crowism is the cruse of all the mobs, lynchings and riots, it should be set: tled once for always in a fair and legal way. No one could have read Dr, Ross W, Sanderson’s article in The Beacon last Sunday on: “Can it happen In Wichite.2” Without first seeing a great Christ spirit in the writer and then eecing the great need of the same spirit cultivated in the hearts of all the Christians and the potent force the Y. M, C. A., and other Christian organization could have on preventing it. We don’t believe it can happen in Wichita, if the Chris- tien forces are ruling, but there should be a way provided, that the moment we see things moving to- ward trouble the tw races could meet and through a committee get the right understandirg, which will stop most anything.
