Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE NEGRO PLANS TO UNITEDLY STAND AGAINST "LILY WHITES." V · 14 N O 23 (Bv Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, D. C. Sept. 23—The great daily newspapers of the United States have begun to give special notice to the remarkable political conditions existing at this time among Colored Americans. The alarming and significant feature is brought out that the undenied police of "Lilv Whitism" adopted by the Administration and the Republican Party, promises to arouse reflex indignation in eastern and western states where "Negro votes count." The Washington, D. C. Star, in Administration paper, calls attention to the fact that never before in the history of politics has there been such a state of affairs twelve months before the next Congressional election, and states that "This is bound to attract attention and lead to some sort of expression as to its national value and significance. Savs the editorial of the Washington Str, under the caption, "The Colored voters; "In a dismatch from Richmond telling of the "July Black" convention held in that town this appears: "The convention after nominating a full ticket adopted a resolution authorizing Chairman Joseph Pollard Norro candidates for the United States Senate here last year against Senator Carter Glass, to get in touch with leading Negroes from every section of the United States, and to call a conference in Washington, simultaneous with the resembling of Congress to place the case of the Negroes before the country. They claim the "Whites" Republicans have thrown them overboard and they want to know "where they are it" Pollard at once not busy and expects to met a large attendance at the proposed Washington conference." "This is the 'meat' of the lily black movement. The effect sought is outside Virginia—outside the South. If possible, colored voters living in states where the votes of Colored men are solicited, and when cast, counted are to be marshalled against 'lily whitery,' and the Republican party put on notice. No 'lily whitery,' or, if 'lily whitery' then no support of Republican candidates, state or national, anywhere by Colored men. In New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and other states ranking with them in republican calculations, Colored voters are numerous, and their estrangement would cost the party heavily. Only whitery' thus becomes a national issue, and the, republican national leaders are to be asked to go on record with regard to it. Raised thus twelve months and before the next congressional elections, when there is to be a strenuous muster of all voters, white and colored, this issue is bound to attract attention and lead to some sort of expression 'its national value and significance.' The time has come to speak and act The Associated Negro Press states with unqualified authority that every Colored leader in Washington including Henry Lincoln Johnson, Perry W. Howard, Dr. J. R. A. Crossland, Charles A. Cottrill; Phil H. Brown, and others who are in favor with the present Harding Administration, together with Robert R. Church of Memphis, Walter L. Cohen of New Orleans, Isaac H. Nutter of Atlantic City, William C. Matthews of Boston, and numerous others throughout the country, are not only dispointed, embarrassed and alarmed at the present state of affairs, but many of them are in a state of mind deriding on indignation. These men are holding on to such good gracies of condescending Administration favor, "hoping against love" stretching out their arm in anguish, as a dying man, "grasping for a straw." There is "weeping and walling and gnashing of teeth." Behind the scenes, between both white and Colored leaders, but none have yet dared to throw completely off the yoke and declare for political freedom. However, the tide of political dissatisfaction is rising so high and fast, and the old Republican ship is being storm tossed so bitterly by the WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY. Sept 23, 1921 New and Helpful Development. (By The Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, D. C. Sept. 23—The Negro World Review is an important new development in motion pictures. Every patron of moving picture theatres is familiar with the Pathe Weekly, presenting as it does animated pictures of current events in all parts of the world. While the Negro World Review may not contain as great a diversity of photographic subjects, it will cover its own special field as thoroughly and is expected to prove a revelation to those who are not familiar with the marvelous progress of the Negro Race. The achievements of Negroes in the North for example, may cause southern Whits folks to sit up and take notice, and the picturization of Southern Negroes in various activities will interest other races. But that is not the purpose of the Negro World Review. It aims to entertain and interest. Its pictures truthfully reflect the scenes and characters which will appear each week on the screens of courtless motion pictures theatres. First place will be given to Negro News Events throughout the World. A department will be devoted to Negro Sports; another one to Negro activities in foreign countries; another to fashions which will interest the ladies. There will also be included pictures of Negro human interest and bright and clever Negro comedy in the form of animated cartoons. The Negro World Review will be released on October 3rd and weekly thereafter. It will be a J. Williams Clifford production presented by the Monumental Pictures Corporation and distributed by the Comet Film Exchange of Philadelphia. Japan Gives World a New Idea. (By The Associated Negro Press) TOKIO, JAPAN, Sept. 16—A new process by which sandiron, or magnetic sand may be converted into pig iron and thence into steel has just been made public by Goro Matsukata and Dr. Arobu Naito. The discovery, the scientists aver, will not only revolutionize the steel industry in Japan but of the world. The process is carried out by means of combining the sandiron with coke, using hot pras flames and making ferro-coke, from which iron can easily be taken. The discoverers claim the new process will make Japan one of the biggest iron producing countries of the world, and make her independent of England or the United States. Sensible Women Stand For Law and Order. (By The Negro Associated Press.) ATLANTA GA. Sept. 21—An appeal against mob law was issued here last Saturday night by a committee of more than a score of Georgia women who were members of the Georgia Stat Committee on inter-racial co-operation. The special committee headed by Mrs. A. W. Lawton of Savannah, adopted resolutions stating that while they appreciate the chivalry of men who will give their lives for the purity and safety of women, "yet we feel constrained to declare our convictions concerning the methods sometimes employed in this supposed protection." The resolution also urged the public "speedily banish self constituted groups and agencies which presume to set aside the dignity of the law and constitute themselves the prosecutors of suspected criminals." Colored American masses in every section of the country, that these political sailors must very, very soon grab "Life Savers" or be forever doomed. This is tragic but true.

CHICACO, Sent. 23.—The follow-ner is a copy of a letter sent by the Associated Negro Press to Honorable John T. Adams Chairman Republican National Committee. This letter has created wide comment. It was read before the gathering of newspaper men in Atlanta Georgia, and unanimously endorsed with the declaration that Mr. Adams be requested to give a cartoanal answer Mr. Adams replied to the letter by requestng a conference with Mr. Brascher in Chicago but at the time he was in Atlanta, Georgia. Concerning this letter Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary-Treasurer Howard University, Washington D. C. has said: "It is the greatest presentation of the case of the Colored people I have read in a long time." Savs the letter:— Republican National Committee. Munsey Building, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: The Associated Negro Press represents 112 newspapers published in the interest of Colored Americans. Inquiries are coming to us from every section of the country concerning the policies of the organization program under your administration. There is very deep concern about this because of the trend of events since the inauguration of President Harding. There is no question in our minds, we are sure, concerning the fidelity of our group to the Republican Party. The party that was established on the principles of human rights has, from beginning, shared the full measure of our support and uncompromising good will and faith. We would be derelict of our duty as Americans Republicans and editors, should we fail to state that there is at present much discouragement and keen disappointment among the people of our group. With very few things happening to arouse the old fashioned enthusiasm OPEN LETTER. Mr. Nick Chiles. Editor, Topeka Plaindealer, Topeka, Kansas. Dear Sir:— In the issue of your paper for Sept. 10th, I note big headlines—"Miller- Bettis and U. B. F." Let me advise you that the officers of the U. B. F. Grand Lodge are not "at digger ends" over the calling off of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. Grand Lodge. This will remind you that if you will read the minutes of our Atchison session in 1920, on page 23, you will note the Grand Lodge adjourned to meet in Wichita in 1922, as it was our custom not to have a grand lodge and grand temple in the years that our National Grand Lodge and Grand Temple convened I, Frank O'Hara Miller, G. M., am not afraid to face any of my official acts since I was elected grand master in 1919. As to being afraid to face my official rets, this is another one of Bertie's infamous lies. At first he said I alone called off the grand lodge, now he says, since none of the grand lodge officers came to his spurious meeting, that I had the board to call it off. Mr. Chiles, I note you say that the and spirit of party cheer, with few two do or deeds, in recent months to arouse the feeling of party pride on the other hand, there have been a number of things to arouse painful curiosity. Among the first of these was the cutting down of representation by the National Committee in the National Convention. Honorable Clarence B. Miller Secretary of the Committee, on our request issued a statement on this subject which, though detailed, does not relieve the impression among the people, that there are motives behind the change destined to eliminate Negro citizens from party influence. This was followed by a meeting of Republicans from Virginia attended by yourself, at which time duly qualified Republicans of our group were barred from gathering by police power. Later the meeting of Republicans in Atlanta, Ga., attended and presided over by Honorable Clarence B. Miller, in which the newspaper reports state that Mr. Miller announced that henceforth the Republican party of Georgia, and presumably all other states must be absolutely under white control. This is followed by the report from a group of distinguished colored citizens who called upon President Harding, that the President declared to them that his mind is made up on policies to be pursued by the party, that he does not intend to appoint any Colored citizens to office in the South, and that Colored Americans, if they wish to remain in the party, must be content with following white leadership. Inquiry by us brought an immediate personal communication from Mr. Christian that there is no foundation for the statement, but the gentlemen present insist that the President was correctly quoted. (Continued on next page.) constitution has a provision wherein five (5) or more subordinate lodges shall constitute a quorum for a Grand Lodge. You undoubtedly must have failed to read our Grand Lodge Constitution, for you misquoted it. Now this is it word for word and letter for letter:— "The delegates of five lodges together with the elective officers of the Grand Lodge, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business." So you see you have misquoted our constitution Nick. Be fair and be a man. I note you say that W. A. Bettel the then Grand Secretary (Who since has been suspended from that office) issued a call for all lodges and temples to meet on Sept. 6. What authority has the grand secretary to issue a call without the consent of the grand master and grand executive boards? You say that he, Bett's, said that a constitutional number of lodges was present at his meeting, which is false and we deny. There were only six men present including himself. Mr. Chiles six men do not constitute a grand lodge under our law of the U. B, F, and S. M. (Continued on page four) NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION MAKES BIG IMPRESSION HERE. NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION MAKES BIG IMPRESSION HERE. A Strong Friend for the Race. LEXINGTON, VA. Sept. 23.—Col. Robert T. Kerlin, former professor of English, Virginia Military Institute, was summarily dismissed by the Board of Governors, for exercising his Constitutional right of Freedom of speech, has issued an exclusive statement for the Associated Negro Press. In this statement Col. Kerlin praises the newspapers for their generous response of service and good will. He declares that the editorial expressions from our newspapers "go to my heart to cheer and strengthen it." Col. Kerlin declares that he was never happier, and "that instead of being defeated I have only begun to fight," and he will continue to labor for justice in the South. Never was there a more instantaneous and generous response to any act of service than your papers have given to mine, simple as it was. That response has been not only instantaneous and generous, but enthusiastic and eloquent in expressions of gratitude and praise. It makes me wonder what your press would do were some real hero to appear and do something really great. I have before me perhaps twenty editorials from your press that would do credit to any press on this globe. They go to my heart to cheer and strengthen it, and they touch it to softness too. What man cannot put force into his blows in a righteous and humane cause when he is so cheered on, when so many grateful eyes are turned upon him, when so many hopes are fixed upon him. "Now, as for myself and my plans. Never was I happier or more elated, though put out of position and home, with nothing assured as to the future. My moral victory is of the first order. And there is really no other kind of victory in this world. All else is delusion. God and one good, brave man(though I don't pretend to be more than moderately good and brave) are always victors, whatever the appearances. Henceforth my confidence in God will be absolute. I have learned how to trust him and be trumphant. "From this you will perceive that instead of being defeated I have only begun to fight. And fight. I will with that one weapon I can weild—my pen which is mightier than the swords of all tyrants who ever sought to throttle freedom and enslave men's minds. The fighting homeforth will be glorious. How many valent souls have rallied to me," Men and women the elect of earth, of every walk and calling in life, in every part of the land, have risen up and assured me of their admiration, support, and loyalty. Old friends and new and absolute strangers have flooded me with messages that have warmed my heart and perved my soul. Of course, therefore, you know my plan. It is to remain here in the South, if I can secure maintenance here for my family, and fight the good fight on the field where it was began and where the victory must be. There is nothing important but this. "I cannot close without saying that the Associated Negro Press has done a splendid piece of news distributing and that Mr. Detweller has remembered by his story a distinct service to the country." Herrington, Kan. News Mrs. Johnson who has been so good in the church work in Herrington, will leave Saturday for Woodburn, Kans. Herrington, will miss her while she is gone.

(By The Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, ILL. Sept. 23 —The recent Baptist National Convention has left more than a good impression on the city of Chicago. This conclusion can be reached by stopping long enough to listen to the expression of praises pronounced by the average citizens since the big meeting passed into history. Impressive in its bulk, its proceedings were also marked by a dignity of general bearing that was decidedly inspiring in all the aspects of its proceedings and in the character of the program laid down in the conclusions of its deliberations. There were not a few dramatic moments reached during the ten day session. There was a highly dramatic incident presented at the very opening of the convention. It came at the close of President E. C. Morris' annual address. The address was a review of the race's relations to the country and outlined the work the National Baptist Convention must do to secure amity and to improve the religious and economic position of the Negro in America. At the close of the address, which had held the large audience spellbound for longer than an hour and a half, with uplifted hands Dr. Morris pronounced: "I give myself into your keeping, praying that the Negro will be the instrument which will bring men back to God. For God is righteousness and it is by righteousness and faith that men will find freedom and see God." When the cheering subsided, Dr. W. M. Taylor took the center of the stage and delivered an eloquent pan-eryric on the President's address and then moved that the rules be suspended and Dr. Morris re-elected the chief executive of the organization by acclamation. The rules were suspended and amid cheers and sustained shoutings the Presidant was re-elected. In quick succession Dr. W. G. Parks was elected vice president at large and Prof. R. B. Hudson of Selma, Ala., was elected Sec.. It was the 17th time that Prof. Hudson has been chosen as secretary of the organization. Dr. Morris's election marked the 23th time he had been called upon to direct the destinies of what is known as the largest body of Baptists in the world. Dr. A. J. Stokes was elected Treasurer, Dr. E. Arlington Wilson, Tex., R. H. McDonald, Mo. J. H. Nabritt, Ga., T. O. Fuller, Asst Secretaries, Dr. C. H. Parish Ken., was chosen Statistic an, Dr. E. D. Pierson, Tex., Auditor, Prof. J. D. Crenshaw, Tenn., Editor the National Baptist Voice, E. M. Lawrence Business Manager and Chas. Stewart, Ill. Gen. Missionary The welcome provided by Chicago was whole-hearted, spontaneous and fine. Dr. L. K. Williams, famous pastor of Olivet and the idol of Chicago, ably assisted by Reverends Branhan, Hawkins and the loyal committee, handled all arrangements with consumate ease. The immense 8th regiment Armory was crowded from morning till night with Baptists and non-Baptists and the mere mention of Dr. Williams' name was the signal for heart-felt cheering. His hold on the public is marvelous. During the convention, some of the most eloquent and some of the best preachers in the country were brought to the front and delivered to the people messages of inspiration and hope. The first sermon was delivered by Rev. J. C. Austin of Pittsburg, Pa. He is a young man and an able preacher. The sermon Thursday evening was delivered by the Rev. W. S. Ellington of Nashville, one of the best trained young men. He is a scholar and writer as well as a preacher. Friday night the Rev. P. James Bryant of Atlanta. Gc. For years, this address was delivered by the late Booker T. Washington and upon his death Dr. R. R. Moton was the speaker and for the past two or three years it has been delivered by Sutton E.

The price of cotton moved a range of nearly 4 cents a pound, to $20 a bale this week, deducting fluctuations being violent in the extreme on several sessions and held in check only by the rules of the exchange limiting price changes to 200 points in any one session. Carried Over 400 Points. On Wednesday all moths bulged the full 200 points on all the first sales on the opening call, something sales on the opening call, something never before witnessed. At the highest levels of the week, prices were 400 points over last week's close and at the lowest they were unchanged to 15 points up compared with the same close. The range carried the market over 385 to 400 points. October traded as high as 21.49 and May as high as 21.10. On the close October stood at 2025 and May at 1045, the near months being much stronger than the distant in the last couple of sessions of the week. The close showed net gains of 135 to 270 points on the list. In the spot department middling gained 325 points in the net results, closing at 2025 against 2025 a year ago. In the early session of last week the tendency of Liverpool to make sensational advances was the chief stimulating influence but later on the heavy rains in Texas and the appearance of a hurricane in tropical waters were the main factors. The storm in Texas had marked effect on the values because it followed several days of local rains, the effect of which was held to be disastrous because of the greater quantity of open cotton in the West. Makes Change In Park Conditions. (By The Associated Negro Press) OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLA. Sept. 23, unaccustomed speed, the pase-loving populace of the old Delmar Park on Exchange Avenue began Tuesday night to move, with the strong arm of the law and an order of the city commissioner behind them to see that the time element was always present. Tent-houses, board shacks, camp wagons and all the other mah-shift contrivance that have made the spot an eye-sore for a number of years are disappearing under the order which says that any remaining residents of the district will be arrested Thursday night and fined. Complaints were made concerning the conditions by the city health officers who claim that the 100 or more white persons who have made their way home in the park are living in insanitary surroundings and urging the police department to take steps towards an immediate cleanup of the neighborhood. The complictint was made to the city commissioners, Tuesday afternoon and as a result Chief Carl Glitsch, instructed the police department to insist upon the vacation of the property by Thursday afternoon 6 o'clock under penalty of arrest. Pleas For Negro (By The Associated Negro Press) LONDON, ENG. Sept. 23.—Speaking before the Ecumical Methodist Conference which is now in session at London, Bishop Carey of Chicago made a strong plea in behalf of the American Negroes last Friday. TRUE FREEDOM. Is True Freedom but to break Fetters for our own deer sake And, with leathern hearts, forget That we owe mankind a debt? No! True freedom is to share All the chains our brothers wear, And with heart and hand to be Fearnest to make others free.

It was a strong plea for the race. Dr. L. G. Jordan, who has served for the past 20 years as secretary of the Foreign Mission Board resigned the position and Dr. J. E. East a returned missionary from Africa, was elected his successor and has been installed in the position. All the other secretaries were retained. The Baptists were encouraged by the strong report made by Dr. A. M. Townsend, secretary of the Sunday School Publishing Board of the National Baptist Convention. It was marvelous the amount of business done by the Board during the past 12 months and the purchase of property on which is to be erected the largest publishing house in the world, operated by the race. One of the turning points in the convention was brought to the surface by the report of Dr. Townsend, secretary of the Sunday School Publishing Board. The report showed that the volume of business done through its various agencies was so large that a committee was appointed to create plans that would bring into being the largest publishing plant of the race anywhere in the world. Dr. Morris announced that plans called for an expenditure of more than $500,000 and that the building would be created in the city of Nashville, Tenn. Secretry Hudson announced the scheme of the $5,000,000 campaign for church extension and the general work of the organization. It is proposed to raise this immense fund during the next five years, $100,000 to be procured each year. Dr. Thomas of Evanston. Ill., is the campaign manager in this vast movement. The proffer of support by the White Baptists was a topic for general discussion. The feeling was expressed by many that it would tend toward improved efficiency and growth for the denomination. Dr. L. K. Williams was in the forefront in urging a progressive stand on this policy. SEEKING JUSTICE FOR A YOUNG MAN. (Rv The Negro Associated Press.) NEWARK, N. J. Sept. 23.—Mrs. A. V. Jefferson, 91 William Street, Newark, N. J., is giving the country a most glowing example of unselfish humanitarian effort, Mrs. Jefferson has been taking a special interest in the case of George Washington Knight, of Perth Amboy, N. J., under sentence of death charged with killing a woman in organist of a leading white church in this state. Attorney Isaac Nutter of Atlantic City, became interested in the case, and was able to present sufficient facts before Gov. Edwards to cause the governor to issue a stay of execution. The matter comes up for hearing in a few weeks, and through Mrs. Jefferson funds are being raised to pay for the necessary expense of the new legal effort. This does not include attorney fees, according to Mr. Nutter, who has declared that he is not worried about this feature, his only desire is to give the young man justice. A large number of women throughout New Jersey have interested themselves in helping to raise the necessary funds. Recently a "Baby slow" was given here with good results. "Because of the spirit of Gov. Edwards in endeavoring to give the young man justice, I think that we should do our part. We will be glad to have assistance from law abiding people everywhere," stated Mrs. Jefferson. (Continued from page one) The matter of appointment to public office is merely an indication of the spirit of good-will and co operation; in the present state of the high cost of living, office holding can hardly be regarded as "remunerative," even by leading colored citizens, hundreds of them having incomes many times larger than the majority paid by the government. But it is quite natural that there are many who would accept the honor of appointment in the same patriotic spirit with which we served in the great World War, and all other wars of our great nation. If the Republican party re mains true to the faith of the fathers, it will recognize Colored Citizens, along with others, on the principle of merit. The people at large cannot understand why, up to to date, there has been so little recognition of Colored citizens and in the single instance of a Presidential appointment, the Honorable United States Senate, at this writing has failed to RELINING AND REMODELING OUR SPECIALTY As near as your Phone call Mkt.2834 120 So.

Leaders in church, politics, welfare work and bus news men are being invited to accept membership in the National Unity council, organized with the motive of suppressing the "Invisible Empire" of the Ku Klux Klan. Edward F. Dunne, former governor, is chairman of the council, which has established offices at 108 South, La Salle Street. With the financial and moral support of the best citizenry in the state, members are, legislation banishing the Klan can be obtained, as it was in the South after its reign of terror during the days of civil war reconstruction. It is the intention to organize National Unity council committees in every community and county where the Klan has already established a foothold and to point out the danger of the secret order by patriotic demonstrations. Comity, rather than enmity between races, religious groups, and political parties will be encouraged. Former Governor Dunne, in accepting the chairmanship, branded the Klan as a "menace to this and any community," in their adoption of the "equipment of the burglar—murks and implements of violence." Col. F. A. Denison, formerly colonel of the Eighth Regiment, has been appointed a member of the council. NEW ORLEANS, LA. Sept. 16. A series of disturbances in Gretna, a New Orleans suburb, late last Monday night threatened to develop into a race riot of grave proportions. Trouble starting at a ball game for Colored people, at which a large number of whites were spectators, culminated in the burning of a Negro lodge hall and reported shooting of one Negro, with threats against others. Gretna, altho just across the river from the city and adjoining one of the city wards, is in Jefferson Parish. Police here were held in readiness, but no request came for aid from the Jefferson authorities. Sheriff J. B. Dauenhauer of Jefferson armed every available deputy, issued orders to shoot to kill in the event mob violence threatened. One Negro is reported to have been killed.

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATION MINICRO PRIZE WITH our city schools filled with the best of teachers that we can secure and with added opportunities for the development of a round man and woman, there are many of our children roaming the streets all day and filling probate courts with misdemeanors; and their mothers and fathers can beat anyone talking about the future of the race. Now, there isn't any future unless you make it, or the future will be what you make it. If you don't send your children to school and prepare the child for the great vision, then our end is in sight and chaos will mark the destiny of what once gave appearance of a marvelous and wonderful people. You should not let work nor play stop your child from school one single day. It might be the very one that the world needs to connect the future with the past smooth enough to keep the wheel of progress rolling forward with less friction. It may be his prepared life that will save our race from political ruin or a spiritual damnation, but this is what we will suffer if we haven't it prepared and ready for the task—It must step aside and let some one else take its place; and then for more wandering in the wilderness, where mobs lynchings and every conceivable destruction will catch us as we seek for the path that our leader, if prepared would have known. To know is the foundation of economy. It is what we don't know that the world is making us pry for. That is why we are failing in business and can't co-operate, we don't know and everything looks like a "booger," and those who know keeps showing us the "booger" and frightening us from the success of life. We plead with every person in the city to help get your children in school and do your very best to help get your neighbors to do likewise. The race is too swift for us to have to be burdened with your ignorant child in the future, then it is getting faster as we come around the curve of time on our home stretch. It is better for that child to be in school with rags on now, than be out in the world in the future with ragged brain on the problem of life. Start the child today. CHRISTIAN SURVEY. WE have sat for hours and watched bees going in this flower and that flower and every once and a while refuse to go in a flower and wonder what it was they took from each flowerer of the sweetest and best to make honey for the future welfare of a coming generation, but last Sunday we saw God's busy bees going into every human flower's house and asking about the sweetest and best, some flowers refused to give forth any sign of sweetness and were passed by. God Who knows the future for this generation revealed this noble thought in the mind of some member of the Federation of Churches of the city, that the Christian world might see what few flowers are growing honey for the Kingdom. They found some humans without self-respect, barefoot women and men playing cards all day Sunday, and not respecting the messengers of God enough to stop playing and smoking while they gave out the information about the best part of man. Their spiritual nature was dead and conscience corroded with sin beyond the point of feelings. Then there were some who had nothing left to give, they had absolutely been robbed by satan and nothing left for the Master and His Cause. Then there were some like a broken legged lamb with not enough energy left to return to the fold, and many others were the experiences witnessed as the spiritual world touched hands with outside. You see your duty, get busy, O Church of God and let God's power be manifested in you for the rescuing of the perishing "Reading makes a ready man." are you ready? The dull times of summer having about passed the sojourns to the seashore and the mountains having terminated, we find ourselves turning our faces homeward. What will greet us on our return? We fear a picture not very inviting. Being as we are in the midst of business depression, the inevitable legacy of all great wars, we can discern but little if any light upon the business horizon. The necessities of life are but little reduced from what they were during the war, with not much encouragement or reasonable hope for the demand for our labor. The approaching winter would seem pregnant with fear of suffering due to hard times. We can take but little consolation from the reports of other countries. The news from Russia, as contained in the daily press, is dark and depressing beyond word description. There, we are told, that mothers are killing their children to relieve them of suffering due to famine; that tens of thousands of the peasantry have resigned themselves to death by starvation as the terrible Russian winter approaches. The bad season for the crops having been almost universal throughout the Empire, there is no hope for relief other than from abroad and with only food enough to last for six weeks. The wolf of hunger seems the inevitable visitor to their doors and they seem resigned to their fate. It is even reported that many are praying that some swift and sure pestilence may come to relieve their anxiety. This extreme situation may not be expected in our midst, but that the approaching winter may bring serious difficulties to feed, house and clothe the people should not be overlooked. This situation should spur us on to business activities as nothing else should do. We know by the past experience that our group is the first to feel the pangs of hard times and the last to feel the effects of business revival. This is due largely to the fact that we are almost a race of servants and that of the menial kind. We seem satisfied to live throughout life as a job holder or looking for a job. Our highest ideal is to work for a weekly wage. If by economy we save a few dollars, we are satisfied to place it in the hands of our employer to be by him or them invested to their benefit, happy in the thought that we have a few dollars in such and such a bank, while enterprise of our own are dying for want of capital and cooperation. In many of these banks that have within their keeping hundreds of thousands of dollars of our money, we can only be employed as janitors or scrub women. We are also perfectly satisfied to spend the weekly allowance at the corner store owned by the Jew, without any attempt to embark into business, to cater to the wants or necessities of the neighborhood. If you go to an Italian settlement you will find the Italian doing business; in a German settlement, the business will be in the hands of the German; the Irishman, you will find in the Irish neighborhood. The Jew you will find among the Jews and also the principal merchant among the Negroes. This should not be. If we are forced into segregation in all other lines by the other fellow, we should do the forcing along business lines. History has not yet recorded a servant race, that could ever boast of freedom. What has been true of all other races must and will be true of the Negro. Until we learn to unite our energy, co-operate in business enterprises, acquire the art of producing as well as consuming, be an employer as well as an employee, represent wealth and intelligence as well as labor and power we can never expect to enjoy the blessings of liberty and freedom as other citizens of the nation. What do you think? Express yourself in our columns. It may be what the rate and country need. I note further that you question the authority of the Grand Executive Board and Grand Master. Will you kindly look on page 24 section 14 of our constitution, which reads: "The Grand Executive Board or Grand Master shall exercise the highest powers known to the order, when the State Grand Lodge is not in session." I note you ask again, was grand master Miller afraid to face the Grand Lodge for fear his official acts would bring him in disrepute No, Mr. Chiles. I have not committed an act that would bring me in disrepute with the Grand Lodge. All of my acts were sanctioned by the Executive Board before being executed by me. The foregoing question seems a foolish one to me for you know the grand lodge will meet in 1922, and then I shall meet it face to face, then and there give an account of all of my official acts. Customers' Benefit Sale Is by far the biggest money saving proposition we have ever put on. If you come you will realize more than ever that COOMB'S store is your store. If you don't come you are just cheating yourselves out of real money, and we know how hard you have to work for it. We will be open Saturday evening until 9 o'clock to look after your wants. Bettis, an insane agitator, with a few followers, cannot tear up the Grand Lodge and Grand Temple of Kansas to vent his personal enmity. He would sacrifice the Grand Lodge and Grand Temple of Kansas to satisfy his personal spleen. The Mutual Aid Department with the grand officers will see that the Nine Thousand Dollars ($900000) is safely protected. Nick.

(G. L.) (Seal) PROCLAMATION NO. 11 Wichita, Kansas, Sept.12, 1921. 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 enpests would have you believe that I have misplaced funds belonging to the Order. I do not un- derstand that he so states in s0 many words but en- deavors from what he does state to leave that impres- sion, 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 ong- ing to the Order has been appropriated by me and nut accounted for, - - The insinuationsin his paper are false Here are the facts; ’ When I was elected in 1919 at the Topeka session 1 found about $4000.00 in the Endowment Department and no money at all in theGrand Lodge Treasury, At a mecting of the Mutual Aid Association held in Jan- vary, 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 fol’ows To P.

At a subsequent meeting of the Mu- tual Ald Association the Grand Attorney was instruct. ed to proceed by meens of arbitration to adjust the claim, which was done, resulting in the finding by the arbitrators that Bro. Jones had loaned $450.00 to Grand Master, McNeal, $300.00 to E. Arlington Wil- non, $200,000 to Nick Childs, $100.00 to Dr. R. C. Hay- den. Since the finding of the arbitrators, which it Is agreed may be made a rule of court. Bro. Jones died and the matter {3 now in process of settlement with the administrator and managers of his estate, At the Atchison session of the Grand Lodge 6 delegutes were elected to the Natlonal Grand Lodge as the constitution provides. Acting on the suggestion of the National Grand Master end with the conscnt 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 sourde until the National en 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 ftom 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 Execu- tive Board. I called for an assessntént of Fifty Cents per member, knowing that all would not pay it. the Grand Executive Board has cutéthis assessment to Twenty-five Cents and so the assessment stands today, In this connectjon permit me to state that the farce comedy pulled‘off by Messrs Bettis, Thomas and Lacon, who with the presence of eight men including thomselves (not a single Grand Lodge Officers present) out of a membership of 2100, pretended to elect them- selves to offlee,—if any such did actualy happen at all in pursuance to a call by W. A. Bettis, purporting to be acall fora G. L, Session—is of no consequence and without force and effect. ._ All of the Grand Lodge Officers elected at‘the At- chison session, except Mr. Bettis whom I have sus- pended hold over. What has been done the constitution under sec- tion 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 andeach of you Iam, in Justice, Mercy and Truth, Fraterna ly yours, (GL) FRANK O’HARA MILLER, G.
