THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE BECOMING DISAPPOINTED IN PRESIDENT AND PARTY. VOL.14 NO.21 (Bv The Negro Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, D. C. Sept. 9. President Warren G. Harding, and the Chairman of the Republican National Committee, Hon John T. Adams, are getting some interesting reading these days. The Colored newspapers of the United States are giving them some information that, by all right and proper should carry for them greatest significance. From one end of the country to the other the newspapers have risen in mighty protest against the program of surrender recently inaugurated by the party of Abraham Lincoln, founded on human rights. There has never in the history of the nation been a more universal and uncompromising wall of dissatisfaction and dagust. The significant part of the editorial expression with reference to the President and the Republican party is the fact that there is little or no vindictiveness but carry a spirit and tone of resolute determination that cannot be misunderstood. The central theme through all the mighty and convincing streams of logic pouring forth from the fertile pens of Negro editors is bound up in the one word of "Disappointment." The newspapers throughout the country, during the last election were unanimous in the endorsement of Warren G. Harding for President. Editors, known in the group to be radical in tendency, laid down their hammers and picked up a horn and tooted for the favorite son of Ohio. They listened with great satisfaction to his fine words of justice and fair play in his address, and by news stories, display advertisements and editorials, as well as by word of mouth, urged the people to "vote the Republican ticket." Now, for the great new President, so early in the name, to step from the path of rectitude, and for the great Republican party to throw out sop to the "Lilly whites" has caused consternation that will not down. The Republicans of Virginia have begun an independent movement, and call for it to become nationwide. The St. Louis Argus, one of the most influential newspapers of the race, editorially, call for the arrangement of a national conference on political conditions in either Chicago or Cincinnati, on Thanksgiving day, to work out a program of action. The Atlanta Independent, The St. Luke's Herald, the Richmond Planet, The Baltimore Afro-American, The Omaha Monitor, The Dallas Express The Cleveland Call, in the President's own state of Ohio, the Pittsburg Courier, The East Tennessee News, The Chicago Defender, and numerous other papers have sounded the alarm pending political dangers. The newspaper men, thru the Committee established in Atlanta, have begun a warfare of propaganda in earnest. They are sending out cards with the following inscription: "The Republican party s the ship, all else the sea,"—Frederick Douglass. What's the matter with the ship? Let's find out." Then all persons are urged to send a contribution to James T. Peterson, 610 State St., Mobile, Ala., treasurer, to buy "Life Preservers at your own price," to save those who are aboard the ship. Those who buy are called "Life savers." Ponca City, Okla. News. Rev. Davis was in town. Sunday, also Rev. Harris. Rev. Davis preached at 11 o'clock a.m. and also Rev. Harris. Our city was visited by a heavy rain last Sunday afternoon. Miss Mary M.

They reported a WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Sept. 9, 1921 Remember Tulsa. Protect The Race. (By The Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, Sept. 9th—"Remember Tulsa." That is one of the big slogans of the hour. Tulsa is Odessa of the United States. Not contented with the most terrible and horror striking riot and massacre in the history of the nation the whites of Tulsa, a certain element of them, have combined to do two things. First, to keep the people who lost propriety from securing any insurance; and second, to find some means of preventing the people from rebuilding on the ground where once stood the proud achievements of great business success and racial progress. There have been almost one hundred indictments returned against Negroes who are charged with having either incited or participated in the riot. Tulsa Colored Americans have organized to combat all of these efforts. They are sending out the cry and appeal for help thus properly organized committees that have the endorsement of the best people of the community. The Colored people of the community are not to fall in Tulsa for behind it lay the future possibilities of the race in this country. It was Booker T. Washington who advised the people to engage in business, and rise above the flaunts and hold-backs of racial prejudice and discriminations. Tulsa, proud, glorious Tulsa, arose to this admonition superior to most American communities, only to discover that white hatred cannot willingly accept competitive success where the black man is concerned. If this new line of racial prescription is permitted to get a hold in American life there is no telling where it will end. O. W. Gurley, a prominent business man and citizen of Tulsa, and a former deputy sheriff was in Chicago recently completing arrangements with the Chicago Defender, through Robert S. Abbott, to receive money for the Tulsa needs. Every true hearted American citizen is asked to make a contribution to the cause. Mr. Gurley was accompanied by Attorney Elsha Scott of Kansas, who has been retrained, with other well known attorneys to handle the kgal side of the Tulsa affairs, and a large sum of money is needed, these gentlemen claim. Anordinance was passed extending the first limits in Tulsa, seeking to prevent rebuilding by Negroes in the Greenwood district. Th's ordinance was given a death blow by the courts, and straightway another was passed seeking to carry the same purpose. It is strted that this new measure will be taken before the courts and given the same treatment as the previous one. "Remember Tulsa!" Miss Opal Cullum who has spent her summer vacation in Ponce City, will return to her home in Ft. Scott, Kansas. Wednesday evening. We enjoyed Miss Cullim's stay in our city and hops she will return next summer.

There has been a great revival with us at this place, adding 33 glad souls, who confessed Jesus Christ as their Savior. We have a Sunday School with about 82 scholars and nearly all of them belong to the church. We have Bro. E Work as the Superintendent of this great school. He is the right man in the right place and also Bro. Jesse Whorton is at his back, with Bro. P. W. Westbrooks as his first teacher. If anybody want Autos, trucks, tractors and farm machinery worth a mint of money will be exhibited at the Kansas State Fair. Hutchinson, September 17th to 23rd inclusive, according to Secretary A. J. Sponsaler. "The exhibit of machinery will be larger than any ever put on at the State Fair," said Secretary Sponsors. "Entries for space are coming in rapidly. All choice spaces will be gone quickly. Many machines never seen at a Fair before will be exhibited." "The unusually big exhibit will be the result of the energetic sales policies of manufactures of firm machinery all over the country. Production is rapidly catching up with consumption, and machinery concerns are anxious to exploit as many new avenues of approach in sales, as possible. Many firms that have been exhibitors at the Kansas State Fair for many years are doubling their sales this year." Interest in all educational departments is pronounced. The live stock, women's work and children's work departments are certain to present big exhibits. A musical attraction of more than passing merit has been booked for this year's State Fair. Al Sweet's White Hussar band has been engaged. Mr. Sweet is one of the best known conductors in the country. His organization is the only one in the country to day that entertains the crowds with both singing and playing. Let's Go! Official Band Are Selected .... Band from the various parts of Kansas will play at the 21st annual Kansas State Fair at Hutchinson, September 17th to 23rd inclusive. The official bands which have just been selected by the band committee of the State Fair are, the Wichita Municipal Band, the Junction City Band, the Medicine Lodge Municipal Band, the Big Dutch Band, of Hillsboro, the Hoisington Concert Band and the Hutchinson Municipal Band. These bands will also be assisted by All Sweet'a New York Band and the Wortham shows bands. There will be lots of band music during the day and evenings at the big State Fair. Reduced rates and special trains will be run from many parts of the State to the 21st annual Kansas State Fair at Hutchinson, September 17th to 23rd inclusive. The program for the State Fair includes a wonderful line-up of educational and entertaining features well worth every Kansan's attendance. The auto roads leading to the Kansas State Fair 14 Hutchinson, September 17th to 23rd are always unusually good and the State Fair is located right near the center of the making it easily accessible to people in all parts of the State. to enjoy the Sunday, please call to see us; and, if you don't know the lesson come and hear it discussed by our great Superintendent. In the revival. we had Rev. W. Whitten from Greenwood, Miss., with us. He is the revivaliest man that we have ever had. He is sent by God to call souls for the Kingdom. He is a great man and a great preacher. We have never heard a man speak like that Greenwood man; he is a Son of Thunder in the pulpit. Our total collection was $2.74. Our pastor is P. Westbrook. The people living in District 50 and District 8 of Logan County Kansas felt highly elated and not a little proud of the return of Miss Effle James of Topeka, Kansas for a short visit to this vicinity where six years ago she experienced her first thrill of teaching public school, to refresh memories' garden with new flowers of vision. The most of us realize that teaching school successfully is not what we might term an easy "snap" and when we consider the immense importance of the school teachers' influence in the future lives of our children, we begin to comprehend the grave problem. But when we see a teacher of rare genius and executive ability combating with patience all opposition and winning in the end BIG WEEK FOR Y.M.C.A. The Secretary Is Bringing Things To Pass. Sunday, September 4th, was the initial meeting of the Educational Constitucny of the Association. At the Tabernacle Church, 8th and Water Streets, at 4 p.m., with two very fine talks from local and State Association Secretaries, the Educational Program, with its wonderful oppor tunities was protrayed. Their talks were re-inforced by the Executive Secretary, who told of his own efforts to improve himself by taking Home Study Courses. A group picture was made after the meeting. It would be phrasing it quite mildly to say the Labor Day Program was a great success. It was in every way, the most outstanding social event put over by the "Y". The Refreshments were indeed delicious, and were completely sold out. (When you want Barbecue what is barbecued, see Marshall.) The Athletic Meet was indeed a credit to the Ability of the Physical Department of the Association. Much "PEP" and enthusiasm was put into them.

The meeting opened with a splendid representative showing from the various sections of this great District. After the opening of the meeting and the informal conference, were announced in order and the many messengers began to register by telling of the work that has been accomplished by them in their respective fields. We were all forced to say that the Lord has yet a few more earnest workers on field who have a righteous broadax and are yet hewing to a righteous life trying to uplift a righteous standard for a righteous Savior. Tuesday morning the Sunday School opened its session with President Lee presiding. This auxiliary shows a marked improvement every sermon that has been delivered by the various ministers has been full of the spiritual fire, and among the many things that was so inspiring in this department of the work was the many new methods of doing real organized Sunday School work; such as the topics: "How to finance a Sunday School, Evangelism in Sunday School," and the great and noble instructor, Rev. J. W. Hayts, the Moderator of the Association came forward and gave some very splendid instruction on the Teacher's Training Course. B. Y. P. U. Department. Wednesday morning the B. Y. P. U. Convention came on the scene with its prince of leaders, Mr. Chas. Johns in presiding, the feature of interest in this department, too numerous to menton. These wonderful and untiming workers are to be complimented for the wonderful work accomplished by them during the past year of earnest toil, and when the president came forward and sounded the gavel we could hear them coming from the various sections of the district as it were the Spartan Knights ready to answer the claran call. The many topics of interest in the department were "What program has the Church instead of the world's program for our young people?" "The Un'ons in small fields and how to maintain them?" The Bible Class was taught in this department by the State Missionary, Rev. J. H.Van Leu. It was indeed a great treat for those who heard him explain the lesson. Time nor space will allow us to mention the many wonderful and inspiring things that occurred in this department of work. Woman's Mission Convention. Wednesday morning the Woman's Mission Convention crime on the stage and by the leadership of that fearless and courageous leader, Mrs. L. Halm, who has a vision as broad as that of Hannibal the great leader of the Carthagenian army, who safely and successfully led his murmuring army by the path of the little St. Barnard across the Rhine and then coming to foot hills of the Alps with courage traveled on until they at last stood on the top of the mountain in shivering cold, and then with a wishful eye looked down on the Italian plain and said, "yonder lies Rome." She, the leader of the great department has led her army of sisters from the last meeting until now and the reports in this meeting are pleasing. Some of the many interesting features that were discussed in this meeting were the topics: "The growth of crime and how to prevent it;" by Miss Celma Bradford of At- walked quietly out on the floor and solemnly witnessed to the oath for life time partners. It was pleasing gratulated them and wished for them to see how heartily their friends cona pleasant and successful sail of the sea of time. The groom was the most happy man of the affair. The refreshment of cake and herbit was of the best quality and the bride's cake unexcelled. We must confess and voice the sentiments of the following, by saying it was a grand occasion:— PRICE, FIVE CENTS chison, it was indeed full of thought and this young woman is to be complimented for her wonderful work. Indeed we must say the women are doing real work for fallen humanity. Friday morning the Association came on the scene with that prince of leaders, Rev. J. W. Hayes, presiding. When the Moderator Rev. Hayes sounded the gavel, the Association came to order and it appeared that the Holy Spirit was premeeting every heart. It is indeed gratifying to note how these loyal Christian Workers are putting forth every effort to help spread the Gospel over the broad world. Too much cannot be said of this grand and fearless leader, Rev. Hayes, for the wonderful way in which he has gone about to put the North-east District on higher grounds. Truly we can say the clouds of our bereavements have passed away and we are now emerging into the light of a new day. Among the many distinguished visitors that were with us this year, were the Rev. P. D. Skinner of Coffeyville, Kansas, Rev. A. L. Branch of McAllister, Okla. Dr. Van Ltu, Kansas State Missionary. Rev. Skinner and Rev. Branch preached verv able sermons while being with us and the State Missionary gave some splendid instructions as he instructed the Bible Class at different intervals. By special request the Moderator Rev. Hayes filled the pulpit Sunday morning for the White Baptist minister and reports an interesting meeting. The future looks good for this grand old Association. The Association expressed its regret and sympathy for the Rev. Cartwrights on they could not be with us in this grand meeting on account of sickness in the family. The Moderator is requesting that every member of the Association, read The Negro Star as we have adopted it as the official organ of the Association; every minister should read it and keep his people informed as to the works of the district and state. We are also asking that as many as can will subscribe something for the Baptist School at Topek, Kansas. The First Baptist Church of Leavenworth, Kansas, under the leadership of the Rtv. Hayes, and the Independent Church of Leavenworth, under the leadership of Rev. C. B. Burton have subscribed $5.00 erch to be paid on the opening of the school. Read The Star. C. B. Burton. Reporter.
