THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE IS THAT HUMAN RIGHTS STILL IN THE PRSIDENT'S NOBLE MIND? VOL. 14 NO. 13 The Race Is Waiting To See some Signs. Washington, D. C., July15—With the Harding Administration approaching the half year mark, the people thro-out the country are beginning to take the measure" of achievements and to see whether the "big show" is living up to advanced publicity. In his campaign speeches, and even since his inauguration, Mr. Harding has himself sounded the terms of human rights on the highest plane. There have been some set backs to the expectations of the populace, but the people have not completely lost faith. The President has given assurance to those who have recently discussed matters with him, that he will keep the faith, Congressman Martin B. Madden. of the first district of Illinois in Chicago, has informed The-Associated Negro Press that the bill against lynching has been endorsed by the judiciary committee of the House, and that the same will soon be reported to the floor. It is Congressman Madden's opinion that the bill will easily pass the House and Senate, and that the President will sign it. Congressman Tinkham continues to force the issue on the consideration of means to enforce the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. Floor leader Mondell has done all in his power to block the consideration, but sentiment is growing in favor of looking into the subject. Many Congressman sincerely wish there were some one way out, but with 1922 elections coming on, there must be action. The problems coming out of the Race question are regarded by Congress as much hotter than those involving the Irish, Catholics and Jews, and anyone hereabout will tell you that these subjects cause great annoyance. The appointment of Henry Lincoln Johnson as Recorder of Deeds has opened up a big new line of discussion. Col. Johnson has all along insisted that he did not wish a position. However, it is understood that the Administration regarded Johnson as the "one best bet" to initiate the Administration policy of recognition, which for sometime was floundering about on the shoals, until the folks back home let it be known that there should be something done. The next few weeks will without question bring some surprising developments. There are movements on in several cities in several parts of the country calculated to make political circles in all high places sit up and take notice. The Harding Administration and the Republican National Committee are cognizant of the facts, and will meet the issue with a direct line of argument. Gen. Charles G. Dawes, director of the budget, recently ordered all inactive files of every government department place in storage to make room for the new and useful records. The clerks required for their care will be dropped, along with several Negro messengers the general observed having a lark on government time this afternoon. There was evidence a short while ago that a crisis might be precipitated by the discontent existing in the House of Representatives over the majority leadership. Thirty-six Republican members of the House participated in an "outlaw" caucus held in the chamber of the House last night to consider the Tinkham legislation to enforce the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, giving votes to Negroes. The conference was held in opposition to the wishes of Frank W. Mondell, of Wyoming, majority leader, and despite all his efforts to prevent it. The outlay conference elected temporary officers, excoriated Mr. Mondell and pledged itself to an organized campaign to compel the Republican management of the House to go on record one way or another in the matter of the Fourteenth Amendment. The tenency toward insurgency against the party leadership was fo- WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Ju'y 15, 1921. lowed by a virtual endorsement by twenty-five Republicans in the House of what the "outlaws" did the night before. Representative Tinkham, of Massachusetts, circulated a petition for another party conference on the Fourteenth Amendment. He would have the meeting held. Fifty signatures were necessary to force the conference. He passed that number within an hour. He expects to have no less than 100 Republicans names all of which he regards as indorsing his stand. With 100 Republicans supporting Mr. Tinkham in a movement for a conference, which Mr. Mendell has twice opposed, which Mr. Minnesota and other delegates openly challenging the tariff policies of the Representative Fordney, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, the situation was not regarded with equanimity by persons interested in the welfare of the Harding Administration and the Republican party. There have been frequent rumblings of discontent with the party leadership in Congress, but until now the champions of harmony have blocked every effort to have the party's soiled linen washed in public. Open warfare between Messrs. Tinkham and Mondell began two weeks ago. The Bay State member obtained sixty-five signatures for a party caucus on the Fourteenth Amendment. Mondell countered by having Representative Barbour, of California, issue a call for a conference on congressional reapportionment. Accordingly Representative Town of Iowa, chairman of the Republican conference, convened a caucus to consider both subjects. Mr. Towner who previously had ruled that reapportionment was germane to enforcement of the Fourteenth Amendment, held that enforcement was not germane to reapportionment. There was a noisy demonstration against the ruling. Mr. Mondell tried to force an adjournment of the conference, but he was outvoted five to one. Then there was an agreement to adjourn to meet later. Mr. Mondell sought to have Mr. Tinkham agree to abandon the conference. He was unsuccessful. It was charged that the majority letder then issued instructions that all Republicans in the House be notified that the Conference had been canceled. Orders were given the doorkeepers to close the chamber of the House. The question raised by Mr. Tinkham is being opposed by Republicans from border states, who declare that for them to vote for or against the Tinkham proposals would be to invite trouble. No Difference. By The Negro Associated Press Zion, Ill., July 15—New York is a very wicked city, much worse than Chicago, according to the report of two Zion deaconesses, five months having been spent by them in the Metropolis. "All they think of is pleasure, money, movies and dancing," the two, Miss Schelhorn and Miss Buthmann reported. "They are dancing all the time; church members too. They all dance." Bishop Speaks Out To .... Save His State. (By The Negro Associated Press.) Rome Ga., July 15—Bishop Frederick F. Reese of the Episcopal church of this state, in a talk before the local Kiwanis club, urged that lynching stop in this state at once, and forever. He said that mob violence strikes at the root of our civilization and is a crime against the dignity of Georgia and its sovereignty. Bishop Reese indorsed the statements made in Governor Dorsey's pamphlet and advised a better attitude towards the Colored people, better counsel and better education. Things cannot continue as the are in the Negro situation. The bishop earnestly asserted, and an immediate change is necessary. It Is A Power For Good.

J., July 15-On May 7th, 1921, a brutal attack was made on an eleven year old white girl by a person unknown. A Negro boy, age 16, was arrested and charged with the crime. Public sentiment was high and the Police Department of this city was determined that the Southern element of the city's population should be satisfied by the sacrifice of some Negro. At the trial, June 23d, a confession was introduced by the State supposed to have been made by the accused. With this confession admitted in evidence against his client, Attorney Wimberly made such a masterful appeal to the jury that a verdict of "Not Guilty" was returned in twenty five minutes. (By The Associated Negro Press) Richmond, Va., July 15. - Discussing the Dempsey-Carpentler bout in his morning sermon last Sunday, Rev Riddick Laughton, pastor of the fashionable Laurel Street Methodist church, and himself a veteran of the world war, suggested that Dempsey might stone in a measure at least for his alleged slackerism of war dava by turning over the $300 000 which he made in twelve months to a fund for the relief work of disabled soldiers. Mr. Laughton denounced both fighters as "human brutee," referring to Dempsey as a "half yellow American" and to Carpentier as a "ruffian," whose redeeming feature was his war record. He dell'red the attendance of 5 00 women at the bout, whose presence "countenanced the de- trading spectacle," and indicated the decay of our national ideals.

I am confident the public don't want this fight, and while I will govern myself to a large extent according to the public wishes, I can't see my way clear to fight Johnson or any other Colored man." Continuing about prospects for his next bout, Dempssey went on "I will meet inv one that Kearns picks for me. Gibbons. I understand, is a good man, although I never have drawn the colored line. I am free to say that I think Harry Wills is a great fighter, now who will whip the very best of them. You know as much about Johnson as I do. As for JAPAN STANDS READY Puryear, Tenn.

(By The Associated Negro Press) Tokio, Japan, July 15—Okio Ozaki, former minister of justice, on the conclusion of a 10,000 mile campaign of the empire in behalf of limitation of armaments, a campaign unparalleled in Japan's political history, declared his conviction today that if the United States government proposed a conference on limitation of armaments it would meet with an eager response throughout Japan. M. Ozaki explained he spoke in almade him the foremost Japanese liberal, added: "I should like to convey this message to the people of the United States. If the American government proposes an international conference to discuss restriction of armaments it will surely be the beginning of a solution of all the diplomatic questions between Japan and the United States. If we are unable to prevent the clearly unnecessary wasteful naval competition, how can we expect to solve other irritable and more complicated questions between our two countries? The latter easily will adjust themselves when the former has been settled." M. Ozaki explained he spoke in almost all the importa. it cities and towns from Kyushu, in the farthest south, to Hokkoido in the farthest north, addressing 100 000 persons at 100 meetings, at which postcards were distributed so his hearers could vote freely on disarmament.
