THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE VOL.14 NO.15 GREAT DISCOVERY BY PRESIDENT HARDING Left Over Democrats Poor Material For Building Purposes. (By The Associated Negro Press) President Harding has made a great discovery. He has discovered that a Republican administration cannot build up a strong going, sympathetic, functioning organization by the use of leftover Democrats. "A house divided against itself cannot stand." Therefore he has been laying aside the attitude of good fellowship, and has recently been letting the heads of all departments know that all persons not actually in sympathy with the plans, programs and policy of the administration, must 'seat.' Consequently, there are going to be some good old fashioned Republican citizens soon sitting in the revolving chairs at the U.S. mahogany desks, directing the affairs of the nation in a sympathetic vain, and in a manner that will help the administration to get somewhere. The announcement by the Associated Negro Press that there are some Republican senators who are not in sympathy with the administration of giving a "square deal" to the bronze constituency, has caused consternation in many quarters here. Naturally there are many Senators who need have no fear of standing up and being counted Their outstanding records and devotion to human rights, speak for themselves. But it is for the purpose of smoking the other kind out, those who receive Negro votes, and yet who fail to grasp the idea of equal and exact justice, that it is highly important to know about. Some of them are candidates for re-election next year, 1922; others will follow in 1924. It is known that some of these Republican Senators have been to the President and urged him not only to "go slow" in making appointments of Colored citizens, but have urged him not to appoint anyone to a first class place. It is an open secret that Colored citizens are not in the frame of mind to be played with in such a manner. It is a question of getting halfway value received, if not full value, and therefore, these people are making marks beside the names of all those who "come up" lame. Ponca City News. Mrs. M. H.

(By The Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, July 29—The Bureau of War Risk Insurance has just issued new rulings liberalizing regulations under which lapsed or cancelled war risk term insurance may be reinstated or converted. After being mustered out of service thousands of soldiers permitted their war risk insurance to defraud. Anyone who did so may have his policy reinstated any time before January 1, 1922. If the reinstitution is sought within 90 days after the insurance has lapsed, no new medical examination necessary. If the insurance has lapsed a longer period, the applicant must present a medical certificate from a reputable physician. All wishing to be reinstated must tender two monthly payments on the insurance at the time of reinstation. Ask To Make It A Felony To Disguise.

The bill, he said would be aimed at the alledged Ku Klux Klan organization. Mr. Petman circulated the petition among the House members at noon, and several had signed it. It was presented to the governor that afternoon. Disgrace on Civilization. (Bv The Associated Negro Press) MIAMI, FLA., July 29—Eight masked men wavlaid Rev. Phillip S. Irwin, white, archdeacon of the English Eniscional Church and head of the work of that church among South Florida colored people, at the close of his evening, services last Sunday, and tarred and feathered him. He was then placed in a sack and taken in an automobile to the business section of this city and dropped from the car. Certain doctrines delivered by Archdeacon Irwin are said to have been the cause of the attack. His assailants have not been apprehended. Before being tarred and feathered Irwin was taken into some woods near Miami, where he was stripped tied to a tree and whipped. The group of masked men outlined their program to him before it was executed and then gave him 48 hours within which to leave Miami. YS AND OTHER YS. On Tuesday evening, a Fishing Party, composed of Messrs Spears, Godfrey, Rodgers, A. T. Brown and W. L. Hutcherson, motored to Ninescah River, spending the night. They report "Poor Luck" but a good time. One of the out standing and far-reaching events in the Association Program was the Luncheon at Central Association, Thursday, July 21. The Writer Street Y. M. C. A., the Federal Council of Churches and the Central Y. M. C. A., were hosts to the Pastors of the Colored Churches. Some matters vitally affecting the community was discussed; and some important conclusions reached, looking forward to a "Greater Wichita." Rev. Mr. Cordell of Cincinnati, Ohio, who has been in our city on business, spoke to a group of our fellows. Sundav—Subject: "Show Thyself A Man." His talk was indeed impressive. Next Sunday, Rev. W. B.

Special Rates To Negro Business League. ATLANTA, GA., July 29—An announcement was made some weeks ago that special reduced rates had been granted for delegates who previttend the forthcoming meeting of the National Negro Business League which will be held in this city August 17th. 19th and 19th. The rate as announced will be one and one half fare for the round trip, thus affording an unusual opportunity for the delegates and visitors to attend the sessions of the League and to visit the Gate City of the South where Negro business enterprise has assumed a degree of success, both remarkable and inspiring. Would Not Accuse (By The Associated Newspress) MURIDIAN, MISS., July 29—Later information from Bell Pine, Rankin County, where a criminal assault occurred on a young woman, corrects some of the inaccuracies in the published statements. The young woman was only 16 years of age and not 20, as given out. Her father is a minister. The young lady had been on a visit the day before to friends a few miles from her home and was returning to her home alone Saturday morning on a lonely country road. She states that two white men met her and that one held a shotgun on her while the other gagged her, and that both men then assaulted her and left her. Blood-hounds were brought from Crystal Springs, and put on the trail, but without success. The affair occurred near the southern boundary of Rankin county and the sheriffs of Rankin and Simpson immediately summoned posses and went in pursuit. Two young white men, filling the description of the girl, were arrested, but when brought before her she declared they were not the parties. Efforts were made to induce her to declare light skinned Negroes assailed her. She denied this, however. It is Sensational To Give A Negro A (By The Associated Negro Press) BROCKTON, MASS., July 29- Special) Judge Robert F. Raymond, presiding Justice at the term of Superior Court in this city, caused a profound sensation when, after declaring that the Negro race in the North was not given even as much chance as in the South, he formally revoked the lower court sentence of Roy B. Scott, a colored youth of this city, of six months in the house of Correction and placed him on probation. After delivering a brief but pointed address he called Scott to the bench, casped his hand warmly and urged him to go forth and bravely face the battle of life. Heads Are Causing (By The Negro Associated Press.) Atlanta, Ga., July 29 - What is the matter with the National Negro Business League? That is the question that is been asked by a number of people in various parts of the country. Some months ago the local Business League began in earnest to prepare for the annual meeting. A strong organization was effected, and there is at present a paid secretary of the local branch who is helping to push matters for the coming annual session. The local League announced that it would give a great Industrial Exhibit during the session, to show the progress of the race in business. There have been some responses, and there will be an exhibit, but it will be nothing like what was at first conten plated. Where is the trouble? The trouble seems to be in the official make-up of the national body. There seems to be a very serious tension, if not friction between leaders of that body, each of whom have there own ideas and ideals concerning the promotion of the work of the League. Very recently there was a meeting held in Philadelphia at tended by Dr. R. R. Moton, President of the League, and others, seeking to find some way out of the difficulty. Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary of the League, was not at this meeting, and it is not known whether he was expected. Several suggestions were advanced for the purpose of rehabilitating the League, and it is certain that the forthcoming meeting will be filled with a great deal more fireworks than even the Philadelphia meeting, when the matter of officers was a debated question up to an hour before the report of the nominating committee. Ever since the establishment of the League, it has been the custom of for. Scott to send out publicity for the meeting to the newspapers, weeks in advance. This year there has been very little publicity going to the newspapers from the Washington headquarters. There are hundreds of businessmen throut the country who are anxious to see a thriving national organization, who are of the opinion that factional troubles should not be permitted to hamper the growth of the League work. Atty. Perry W. Howard, Special Assistant Attorney General, has sent out a notice to all lawyers of the country urging them to be present at the meeting of the Bar Association which meets here simultaneously with the Deague. According to informa- A WOMAN MADE THE PRINCIPAL PLEA WHICH CAUSED HIS CONVICTION. tion received here, there will be an unusual attendance of lawyers at the Association, of which Mr. Heward $ ^{e} $ President Asks For Protection As A Citizen. Mr. Ed Horton a resident on the South-west corner of Twenty-first and Hydraulic streets, where he bought several years ago, and is now trying to make a nice home, was not fled by 'Black Hand Letter' he took the letter like a law-abiding citizen to O. P. Hicklin and asked for protection. he "bumfuttled" and gave no satisfactory protection, so he let them know he would protect himself. On the night of the 27th they attempted their threats. If we have an officer who will not give all of the necessary protection to a citizen, then we should petition his dismissal before our city is disgraced with a riot. Every home in the city ought be protected by the law of the city and on the presentation of proof ought be safeguarded. He is only asking for what any taxpayer should, and that is protection by the law that his faves are going to sustain. He is asking for protection and if the city refuses, he is going to demand it like a man. It may mean millions to delay the strong arm of the law. We find on investigation that his house nor his surroundings are a disgrace, in fact in many instances better than his neighbors; and we see no reason why he should be molested; or if he is, then why the law can't take the violator in charge. He has acted his part as a citizen, why can't the city act its part? Little beginnings make great endings. St. Paul Notes.

Chief of Police Found ·Guilty and Suspended. (By The Associated Negro Press) TULSA, OKLA., July 29th—Special) John A. Gustafson. Tulsa's "riot chief of police," has been adjudged guilty of riot conspiracy and of theft plots suggested to him and his confederates during the horrible situations of the disgraceful occurrences which has brought so much disgrace and humiliation to our formerly proud commonwealth. A woman, Mrs. Katherno VanLouthen, made the principal plea which brought about this creature's conviction. The auspended chief of police last Friday night, was found guilty by a jury, of having failed to take proper precautions for public safety on the night and day of the recent race riot here, and also guilty on another account of conspiracy to free automobile thieves and collect rewards. For the first time a woman addressed a Tulsa jury when Mrs. Katherine Van Leuven, assistant attorney general, took the floor to present the state's opening argument. She spent the greater part of her argument in analyzing third count of the accusation charging the chief with conspiracy. She also charged the chief could have disarmed the Negroes at the courthouse and could have prevented the riot, arson, and murder which followed. "The state has never conbined that any law was violated after that trouble at the courthouse" she concluded. "After those armed Negroes had started shooting and killed a white man—then those who armed themselves for the obvious purposes of protecting their property and lives violated no law. The chief neglected to do his duty and the citizens, after seeing their police fail took matters in their own hands. No, we don't contend that they violated the law." Mrs. Von Leuthen's plea which is acknowledged as a presentation of the case which procured the conviction of the deceased and disgraced chief, is regarded by the leading Colored people as a conscious effort to clear the slirts of the white citizens of Tulsa of all measure of guilt in connection with the underlying causes that led up to the riot. But the conviction comes, they sav, as a stem in that direction which will strengthen the cause, of our Negro in the eyes of the country at large. "We have got to make some sort of a stand," said one recently, "If we don't Tulsa will become too hot for us to stay here." New Hope Baptist "Soul Teaching Others to Love Jesus" was brought before the wondering eyes of the youthful Sunday School incurriers Sunday morning. The experiences of this great character mystified and interested the little ones. Two great messages were brought to the people Sunday by our minister, Dr. E. T. Fishback, at eleven a.m., and seven forty-five p. m., respectively. Oh how our hearts burned within us as he preached God's Ho'y World! The B. Y. P. U., workers discussed "The Evil of Materialism." The meeting was fine. To members and friends of New New Hope—Remember that Sunday, July thirty-first is the Gold Star Sacrifice Drv. Each one is urgently asked to do his best. Angels can do no more.

Wetson, chairman, of the Evangelistic Board of the National Baptist Convention, has just completed arrangements for the meeting of the Board in the magnificent Pilgrim Baptist Temple, Indiana Avenue and 33rd street, of which he is the pastor. This meeting will be held during the week immediately preceding the big convention. In this same auditorium the Equal Rights League will hold its convention during the week immediately following the close of the Baptists meeting in he Pilgrim Temple's auditorium opening on the tenth of September. President Harding has expressed an intention to be in Chicago at that time and address the convention should public business at Washington permit. Special attention is being given these two meetings because they will be held in what is now regarded as the most beautiful and costly church structure owned by Colored people in any section of the country. It is valued at $200,000 and has a seating capacity of 3,000. The membership of this big religious organization has grown, during the past 14 months from 753 to 3492. The pastor, Dr. Watson, is now placed among the great pulpit orators of the city. He has attached institutional features to the work of the Temple which include helpful activities for both children and adults. He is also active in the recently organized Community Service work in this city, being a member of its Advisory Board. Military Tribunal Made Quick Work. Rv The Negro Associated Press WASHINGTON, D.

Y., July 29—Preachers who derive more pleasure and enjoyment from their sermons than do their congregations were discussed last Sunday by the Rev. Dr. Henry Sloane Coffin, pastor of the Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church, at the second session of the Midsummer Conference for Ministers in the Union Theological Seminary. Dr. Coffin said that "the great curse of the country today is uniforming preachers," and he proposed remedies for ministers who teach congregations nothing. "People are staying away from church because they learn nothing," he said: "They hear things that they already know. Many congregations are lored because they can predict beforehand what the minister is going to say. "W. with the same minister and the same congregation forty Sundays in the year it is necessary for the minister to be informative and interesting. Many ministers and many pastors preach from hand to mouth and do not know on Monday what they are going to say the following Sunday. The weakest point is that preachers do not go deep enough. The main function of the pulpit is to teach facts. Some sermons are predigested food." A Grand Rally. To The Negro Star: The Second Baptist Church of Junction City, Kansas, under the pastorate of Rev. G. T. Reimey, he'd a grand rally on Sunday, July 24. for the purpose of raising means to purchase lots on the corner of 10th and Jefferson Sts. The receipts of the rally were $103565.

Tt acted as a corrective when the newly liberated colored men took what the southern white people thought was an undue liberty with thelr new power, It wes founded upon a racial thing. "t doubtless served its day ant gen. erft'on in its peculiar territory, but nothing in its legendary or h'stori- cal glories entitles it to a p’ace in the Kansas civilvzation.
