Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE ALL RACE LEADERS ARE WATCHING PRESIDENT HARDING. VOL.14 NO 22 They have given Him some Truths. (By The Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, D. C. Sept. 16—There is a story to this effect; Once upon a time there was a bronzed gentleman who worked in a fish store. He wore a short, very short, coat, and he likewise wanted a fish for his supper. He picked up a long fish from the supply, and placed the fish in his hip pocket, as he thought, under his coat. He started out of the store, with the tail of the fish flapping to the breeze. The boss saw the flapping object and exclaimed, "Georgge, come here." George went. "Now listen," said the boss, with a gleam in his eye. "either bring me a longer coat or get a shorter fish." President Warren G. Harding, representing the topmost interests of the Republican party, may desire to stick the southern "Lily Whites" in his hip political pocket and get away with it, but so far as the Colored brothers are concerned, he will have to get a longer coat in the way of a different policy, or get along with fewer "Lily White" fish. If you doubt it, read the Negro newspapers of the country, or stop the rank and file of people along the street and talk with them. One well known leader, whose name is a household word, informed President Harding in person in this wise: "If I should go before the people and attempt to defend your policy with reference to Colored Americans they would spit in my face." This leader gave the President the right dope, and it serves to illustrate what a critical and embarrassing position the President has placed his Colored political friend in. This leader, and all other leaders who have been active politically, know the truth have told the President, chairman John T. Adams of the Republican National Committee, and members of Congress, in private conservation, but they have had little to say in way of protest in public. They will learn that they must "speak out in most n'" if they expect to "see the elevation of the Lord." The Louisville News, William Warley, editor, and the Louisville Leader, Willis Cole, editor, are backing with great enthusiasm, an independent movement in Kentucky. This is being watched with nationwide interest, as it is a serious effort to assert manhood rights. Phil H. Brown Commissioner of Conciliation in the Department of Labor, is the big political power in "Old Kentuck." Brown is regarded as a clever politician, and one capable of mcking a mountain look like a move-hill in the eyes of his superiors, and yet it is believed that he will not endeavor to minimize the seriousness of the Kentucky dissatisfaction. Independent movements in Indiana, Ohio, New Jersey, New York, Missouri and other states, "where the Colored votes count" are in the making. The Staff Correspondent of The Chicago Defender, New York City, in the current issue carries a long story about the probability of Colored New Yorkers supporting the Democrat ticket in the fall election there. SOUTHERN VOTERS WARNED SOUTHERN VOTERS WARNED (By The Negro Associated Press.) Perry W. Howard, Special Assistant to the Attorney General, has issued the following notice:— To The Colored Republicans of the South:— You are hereby advised and informed that at the May session of the Republican National Committee, held in the City of Washington, D. C., a resolution was passed providing that hereafter no individual will be permitted to participate in the deliberations of a precinct, county, district, state or national Republican convention unless that individual is a qualified voter under the laws of that state. WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY. Sept. 16, 1921 TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, ALA. Sept. 10.—September Thirteenth marved the opening of the Forty-first Scholastic Year of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. Dr. Robert R. Moton, Principal announced a record-breaking enrollment for the ensuing year. More than two thousand students have matriculated most of whom have already arrived, representing approximately every section of this country and also other countries. The Institute opened this year under many encouraging conditions The New Boy's Trade's Buildings, which were dedicated April 11th are now in shape as to equipment. This condition facilitates the instruction and also offers the opportunity for instruction in the Mechanical Trades to a larger number of students as well as a more thorough course in the use of modern machines and other apparatus. The opening of James Hall the new dormitory for girls, has made it possible to accept a larger number of the many girls applying for entrance and at the same time will alleviate to a great extent, the somewhat congested condition of the dormitories. In addition to the favorable conditions a regular organized graduate course in the Mechanical Industries is now offered as well as a similar course in Agriculture. All of the departments and divisions have been re-organized as to course and instruction. Opposed to One-Half of the People. NEW YORK N. Y. Sept. 16 —The Ku Klux Klan is actively opposed to at least half the population of the United States, according to the taboo classes which Albert DeSilver enumerates in THE NATION for September 14. Violently anti-Nogro avowedly anti-Semitic, consistently anti-afen, with a general ban on the members of the Catholic Church the Klan exploits legal prejudice and throughout the country fosters class oppression and persecution. Citing numerous cases of mob violence which have been charged against the Klan, Mr. DeSilver asserts that the Klan is responsible for them whether or not they were committed by actual Klansmen. Since it bears the name of a terrorist organization of the past and has adopted all the current class prejudices, it invites rowdies, of all descriptions. Many join the Klan. "Some call themselves Ku Klux Klanmen without paying dues; others indignantly oppose the Klan but copy its methods." The Imperial Witzard's claim that the Klan is "the soul of chivalry and virtue's impenetrable shield" his full-page advertisements in leading papers, do not absolve him. Mr. De-Silver says, for not having foreseen the menacing results of his money-making organization. "This is a matter that vitally affects our racial group, for they are the ones most largely disfranchised and who are not registered voters. But we must face the facts as they are and frankly state that quite large percentage of our group, who are not qualified voters in the South, are in this unfortunate shape because they do not attempt to meet the requirements in due time In most of the southern states the prerequisite to being a qualified voter is to pay one's poll tax on or before the first day of February, and then go to the courty clerk and register. Let us urge that both our men and women get busy and pass the word down the line and urge that those of our group who have been deralict heretofore to pay their poll taxes in duo time and register; for if we fall in this, we shall be left out of consideration hereafter. "I again warn you that your political life is at stake." More Than 8000 Attend National Convention. CHICAGO, Sept. 16.—More than 8,000 delegates and visitors attended the National Baptist Convention held in the Eighth Regiment Armory, Dr E. C. Morris of Helena, Ark., presiding. Dr. Morris was elected President of the Convention the first day. The pre-convention entertainment and reception was an event of unusual importance. Concerning Chicago Dr. Griggs, of Memphis, Tenn., who was principal speaker, stated: "Chicago is the greatest city in America for our people. It sets the example for the race throughout the nation." The report of the Missionaries and publishing house for the year showed that the last year was one of the most prosperous in the history of the denomination, regardless of the depression economically. The Missionary work of the church has been one of the outstanding features of the growth. Dr. L. G. Jordan, head of the Missionary work of the church, urged a large representation of the ministers and religious workers in the tour to be made to Africa on a chartered steamer in the nortr future. President Morris' annual address disapproved of the plan of the Northern white Baptists to set up regional organizations among the Negroes. He discounted the plea of the white members of the denomination that greater efficiency could be best obtained among the Negroes by this plan. The general policies of the organization will be given to the public at an early date. Unification of the Negro branches will be determined by a commission appointed by President Morris. Dr. L. K. Williams was hailed as a New Moses in the effort to bring greater efficiency to the Baptist organization. WOODMEN OF UNION HOLD GREAT SESSION. (By The Associated Negro Press) HOT SPRINGS ARK. Sept. 16,— Several special trains and extra cars brought upward of a thousand delegates and visitors to the city to attend the several sessions of Woodmen's union which opened here last Wednesd of Union at its annual Supreme Resdny. Mayor Delivered Strong Welcome. Mayor II. A. Jones of Hot Springs, delivered a strong address of welcome. His statement that it was his purpose to be Mayor of all the people was simply borne out in the fine spirit of good will and understanding between the two races in this city. The Rapid Growth Revealed. The "high stots" of the Session included the magnificent address by Dr. E. A. Kendall, the Supreme President and the splendid report of the Supreme Custodian, John L. Webb. The Woodman of Union operates in eleven states and during the fiscal year just closed collected from all sources $284 173.20, an increase of $30 000 over the previous year. Mr. Webb's report also included reference to the $100 000.00 Bath House which has been paid for. When it was shown that this and other reel Estate transactions had been done without a single assessment of the members there could be heard on all sides words of warmest praise for the highly efficient leadership of the Supreme Custodian. Such an achievement is unexamplied in fraternal circles. In his annual address, Mr. Webb emphasized the importance of thrift, of better race relations and the necessity for better living and educational conditions in the rural districts. Mr. Webb told of having visited the closing exercises of a school some weeks ago where the graduating class of some twenty members, had only three boys. "That condition," he said, is entirely too prevalent and it shows a deplorable lack of attention to education of our boys. Negro enterprises are springing up every day and there is a constant and insistent demand for competent, well trained young men. You mothers and fathers owe it to yourselves, to your children and to your race to in- Mr. W. E. Bacoir. PROCLAMATION NO.10 Wichita, Kansas, Sept. 10, 1921. TO THE OFFICERS AND MEMBERS OF THE U. B.

Trusting that the blessings of Him who dooth all things well will continue to shine upon you and cach of you, and that peace and prosperity may continue to reign in this our beloved order I beg to remain your faithful and obedient servant in Justice, Mercy and Truth. TO THE U. B. F. AND S. M. T. AND JUVENILES, KANSAS JURISDICTION. My dear Brothers and Sisters: Mr. W. A. Bettis, from numerous publications in his paper it appears, would have you believe that I have misplaced funds belonging to the Order. I do not understand that he so states in so many words but endeavors from what he does state to leave that impression, and doubtless some of you may think the same to be true. I challenge, dare and defy Bettis or any one else to prove that a single Dollar of the funds be ongoing to the Order has been appropriated by me and not accounted for. The insinuations in his paper are false Here are the facts: When I was elected in 1919 at the Topeka session I found about $4000.00 in the Endowment Department and no money at all in the Grand Lodge Treasury. At Y. M. C. A. CULLENS. Last Sunday was a "Blue Letter Day" in the History of the Water Street Branch Y. M. C. A. The initial meeting of Boys' Workers was held in Calvary Baptist Church. Mr. L. K. Echelberger gave an illustrated lecture on the four-fold development of Boy life. After the main address some very helpful remarks were made by Atty. Guy of Topeka. The Executive Secretary made a very timely Summary but challenging the Boy-Leadership of the community to prepare for the Sacred trust which is theirs. He mentioned the preparation for other vocations; but emphasized the fate of men who attempt to lead boys, without any preparation. On Wednesday, the Association was host to the Street Railway Track Crew. Very fine talks were made by Mtasrs Hathman, Lewis and Case for the men, and Messrs Brown and Hutcherson for the Association. The men were much pleased with the work being done. Melons enough for all were cut, and games of all kinda-enjoyed. Sunlay will be given over to the Survey. list upon your boys attending school and completing their education. William H. Holtzelaw, Principal and founder of the Utica Institute in Mississippi, who was a schoolmate of John L. Webb at. Tuskegee Institute, delivered a stirring address on race pride at the Thursday Evening Session. Booker T. Washington Remembered. The influence of the life of Booker T. Washington upon this organization was seen in the frequent references to him and to his work. The bare mention of his name by the several speakers, which was always done with evident reverence, brought forth applause from the audience as well as many earnest and sincere tributes. The Supreme Lodge Session took official cognizance of the Booker T. Washington monument which will take place at the Tuskegee Institute April 5th, 1922 and elected the Supreme President Dr. E. A. Kendall and the Custodian Mr. Webb as the official representatives of the order. John L. Webb graduated from Tuskegee Institute, where he learned the carpenter's trade and later did contracting and building both in Memphis Tennessee and Yazoo City, Mississippi. The Woodmen of Union was founded at Natchez, Mississippi, and for a number of years operated in only one state. When Mr. Webb was persuaded to accept the Custodianship of the order in 1916 the monthly receipts were $82.00. "It is nothing short of a miracle what this man has accomplished in these five years is the general exposition heart ground these parts when the name of "Webb" is mentioned. They say, "Webb did it" and Mr. Webb says, whatever success I have had I owe it to Booker T. Washington." Ponca City, Okla, News. Rev.

Grand Temple Officers (G. I.) (Sea') ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` a meeting of the Mutual Aid Association held in January, 1920, it was suggested that we borrow $200.00 with which to purchase supplies, which was done by unanious vote of the Mutual Aid Association and paid out as follows To P. G. M. McNeal for supplies ..... $54.20 Financial cards and report blanks ..... 45.00 Application blanks ..... 25.00 Badges ..... 25.00 Rituals ..... 20.00 Balance on minutes of 1919 session ..... 23.00 Stationery ..... 18.00 At my first meeting at Atchison it was disclosed by the report of the finance committee that the treasurer, Brio. Jones, was short in his accounts $1060.63, for the collection of which amount I turned over his bond to the Grand Attorney with instructions to proceed and collect the same. At a subsequent meeting of the Mutual Aid Association the Grand Attorney was instructed to proceed by means of arbitration to adjust the claim, which was done, resulting in the finding by the arbitrators that Bro. Jones had loaned $150.00 to Grand Master, McNcal, $300.00 to E. Arlington Wilson, $200.000 to Nick Childs, $100.00 to Dr. R. C. Hayden. Since the finding of the arbitrators, which it is agreed may be made a rule of court. Bro. Jones died and the matter is now in process of settlement with the administrator and managers of his estate. At the Atchison session of the Grand Lodge 6 delegates were elected to the National Grand Lodge as the constitution provides. Acting on the suggestion of the National Grand Master and with the consent of the Grand Executive Board I issued on April 16th, 1921, a proclamation declaring there would be no Grand Lodge Session this year; from which proclamation I found no objection from any source until the National Grand Lodge was in session at Cincinnati, Ohio, Aug. 1, 1921. There was not enough money in the Grand Lodge Treasury to pay the expenses of the delegates to this session so on the advice and with the consent of the Grand Executive Board we borrowed and gave a note for $700.00 to be drawn from an emergency fund with which to cover the delegates expense and to pay the National Grand Tax. To cover this, by the consent of the Grand Executive Board, I called for an assessment of Fifty Cents per member knowing that all would not it the Grand Executive has cut this assessment to Twenty-five Cents and so the assessment stands today. In this connection permit me to state that the farce comedy pulled off by Messrs Bettis, Thomas and Bacon, who with the presence of eight men including themselves (not a single Grand Lodge Officers present) out of a membership of 2100, pretended to elect themselves to office,—if any such did actually happen at all in pursuance to a call by W. A. Bettis, purporting to be a call for a G. L. Session—is of no consequence and without force and effect. All of the Grand Lodge Officers elected at the Atchison session, except Mr. Bettis whom I have suspended hold over. What has been done the constitution under section 14 page 24 provides we may do. With the hope and prayer that the blessings of the A'mighty may continue to remain upon you and each of you I am, in Justice, Mercy and Truth. Fraternaly yours, FRANK O'HARA MILLER, G. M. (G. L.)

By rhe Negro Associa 8 CINICAGO, ILL, Sept. 16—The Ku Klux Klan was vehemently as- sailed as “completely un-American” and “the greatest disintegrat'ng force at work in America today. Ly Bishop Samuel Fallows, speaking bifore the Dil! Pickle Club Sunday night. “The Ku Klux Klan strikes at the root of principles upon which this nation was built.” said the bis- hop. “It undertakes to do in a se- erct manner duties delegated to es- tablished institutions, It presumes to be the judge and jury, It is the direct entithtsis of Americanism. “It fs the greatest disintegrating force at work in American today. It holds all its dealings in secret and under cover of darknzas, It is a de- hberate insult to 11,Q00000 Colored pedple of our nation.” Bishop Fal- lows sketthed the history of the or- ganizat‘on from {ts inception during the Civil Wer times to the present time. “It subjected Colored people to such gross indignities that the gov- ernment was finally obliged to aup- press it,” he Ingisted. “It was form- ally placed on trial as an organiza- tion, convicted, condemned and abol- ished. And that’s whet should be done to day.” Col, B. Smith, 525 Grant Place, head and founder of the Honortd American Legion of Four-Minute Speakers, announced bis organization of 3000 members to oppose tho Ku Klux Klan. s Mystery to Medical Profession.

Write on one side of paper. We reserve the right to reject any matter for publication.—Notify us at once, when you fail to receive your paper. WE DONT KNOW! THE Government has spent thousands and put numbers behind the bars because they were I. W. W. It had sufficient law to act authentically and it acted. The charges were, they endangered lives, destroyed property and took power of government in their hands. This was fine work for the law and the enforcement certainly protected humanity and property, and made Americans safe in America. No true American wants to see this country half free and half slave, nor does he want to see the rights to labor, educate or worship hampered. It means dissatisfaction to the oppressed and monopolizing labor and all manner of trouble for the capitalist. To lessen Education means a depreciation of citizenship and slow process to eternal ruin of the government. The subjected worship means a crushed spirit and grows a faint-hearted people. Let us reason—here is a man with a steady job, he pleases his employer and he shows every sign to fit the position; but there is a society or an organization that feels like disturbing this union, and it is the all-powerful or all-prejudice, without the thought, economy, or prosperity, the notice from a secret power known as K. K. K., to break up or death will be the reward. Now, this is prejudice against prosperity; the law is the only means to protect prosperity and if it wins, the government will live long and fail not, but if prejudice wins, short will be life and great will be its fall. One victory means more strength and if K. K K., the southern I. W. W. or worse, from several points, succeed in taking over all the power of the law and stopping every Negro from working on public work or any one else, that does not meet their approval, it won't be long before they will daro the owner to turn off or hire any one without their consent;—in fact the man, who owns the company will be absolutely helpless against a revengeful organiza- LOCAL ITEMS. LOCAL ITEMS. Miss Josephine Forman of 2520 Indiana Avenue is leaving soon to make Topeka, her future home. The Star loses one of its most loyal friends in the departure of Mrs. Foreman but she has advised that the paper be sent her there. Good luck to you little Miss Foreman; drop us a line. Calvary witnessed two of the most spirited and elequent sermons that one would care to hear, Sunday, by Rev. Ranavolonia, one of our new pastors here. You should have heard him and if you did not you missed a treat. Don't forget Mrs. N. E. James' entertainment for Monday evening at Calvary; supper at 5:30. There was a good meeting Sunday afternoon at Calvary in behalf of the boys' division of the Y. M. C. A. Prof. Elchelberger made a wonderful demonstration on a well rounded boy's life. We appreciate the business transaction from Mr. Morris Steemer this week. Call again. Rev. E. T. Fishback is keeping very busy with their new church building but takes the time to run in to see us occasionally. Miss Oliver built another room on her 'Garden City Home' while she was there and another piece in her H—Chest. A beautiful party for a departing guest, was given at the home of Mrs. Morton Grinstead by Mrs. A. Foster and Mrs. Grinstead. About 40 guests were present. The departing guest was Miss Mae Triplett who returned to her home in Denver. The house was beautifully decorated and a lovely time was had by all present. Mrs. Ella May Williams of Arkansas City, was in the city Saturday. Mr. E. W. Smith of Kansas City, Mo., State Supervisor of American Woodmen of Kansas and Oklahoma, was here a few days of last week on his official duty, called at this office. Mr. Smith is doubtless a race man. He left Monday evening for Tulsa, Oklahoma where the Woodmen have some claims to be paid. tion with no chance for trial, nor receive justice from equity of law. Bridge the education of the youths and stop vision, no scientists are born and the future becomes cloudy and the government falls about like a drunken man until it reaches the cave of destruction. Kill the spirit of the people and see a lifeless race, a burden for somebody. This is why the cry of millions in the far East—their spirits are deadened and they must be carried by others. Now you can hear the cry of the few for the masses, who will deliver us from these deed bodies who are helpless and hopeless? Now, the thought that stands out prominent in our minds is, will America stand to see 12 million of its citizens made helpless, because of prejudice or will it protect its own law and not have to face the same thing that Russia and other countries are now facing? We consider the K. K. K., worse than the I. W. W. They said, Its object was to protect American womanhood but we see in Mississippi, it is ordering all Negro firemen, porters, etc from their jobs on the Railroad; if this is civilization, we don't like its looks nor its taste; if this is democracy, we have not understood what our noted statemen said; if this is right God is not just nor His Biblical teachings for human elevation. Hats off once more to Mrs. Dr. F. O. Miller, Mrs. Bowers, Miss Oliver and many other members of the Board who helped secure the baths and running water that was installed in the Children's Home last week making this place strictly modern. Help them when you can as your money is being properly spent. You are asked to please be at home from 3 to 5 Sunday afternoon as there will be some one at your home to get the Sunday School survey of Sedgwick Co. This Religious Survey is being taken by the Federation of Churches of Wichita. Mrs. W. C. Neely of 1242 Blaine Avenue gave a very pretty dinner party Thursday evening in honor of Mrs. Edward Tutt of Lexington, Mo., who is visiting Mrs. H. L. Neely. Mrs. Abel Robinson returns much recuperated from her visit. Mrs. Blanche Smothers a sister of Mr. Edward Kemp, was in the city, Saturday from Salina, enroute to her home in Arkansas City. Mrs. Eva Woods who has been ill for some time continues to improve. Mrs. Snced, Miss Dorothy L. Sims, Mr. and Mrs. Sims and Master Calvin M. Burton were dinner guests at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. N. B. Copeland on South Mead, Sunday. Mrs. Copeland surely showed herself master of the kitchen in that well prepared chicken dinner with so many other delicacies to suit the taste. Mr. John DeGraphenread of Kansas City, came this morning to see his mother Mrs. M. Noland and relatives 1211 N. Washington. FAREWELL PARTY FOR Farewell party was given for Mrs. Chas. Childs at her home by the members of the St. Paul A. M. E. Church. Mrs. Childs was the efficient plan'st and active member of the choir for a number of years. She will leave Monday for Kansas City, and join Mr. Childs who left several days ago, and will make it their future home. Refreshments were served and a pleasant evening spent. Regrets were expressed of her departure by the President Mr. E. Landrum, and other members of the choir who wished her success and a welcome return to her old home again. Rev. James A. Hamlett Comes to Wichita. Rev. James A. Hamlett, A. B., D.
