THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.14,No.24 Progressive "Y" Activities. Beginning last Thursday evening, the High School Boys' Club was organized and will met at the Y. M. C. A. Building every Thursday night. Last Friday night the Gymnasium Class had its first practice or exercise at the High School Building and will have this for its regular practice nights. Last Sunday the business men of the city under The Thrift and economic committee of the "Y" met and reviewed and expressed some splendid plannings for greater Negro business enterprise and Mr. J. F. Green put before them a great advertisement plan which means business uplift. It selected a committee for Bylaws and they met Wednesday. In this meeting were many helpful suggestions brought out and we hope to give to this city a great and powerful organization for business boosting. Last Monday night was born a "Y" Brass Band and every Wednesday night they will practice. Sunday evening at 4:00 p. m., Rev. J. W. Hayes of Leavenworth, Kans., will speak under the auspices of the Y. M. C A. Let'everyone come and bring your friend—Calvary Baptist Church. We are beginning to think that there is some business going on at the 'Y' as well as the games. Many were the compliments of Sunday and Wednesday night meetings as to harmony and brotherly love. Kansas Baptist State Convention. At Atchison, Kansas everything is now ready for the greatest entertainment ever given to the Baptists of this State by the able Gospel pastor Rev. W. C. Cartwright.

They are looking for every phase of the denomination to be well represented with facts and figures. Dr. W. A. Bowren, the newest leaders on this side of the Mississippi River will be disappointed if you do not break all previous records. Don't see how little you can bring, but how much. Let every Baptist face toward Atchison, time enough to be in the opening session, Oct. 4. Riley Cartwright Passes Away. Special to The Negro Star:— At his home at Parson, Kansas, Mr. Riley Cartwright, the brother of our great Baptist pastor at Atchison, passed away at 9:00 p. m., Sunday, Sept. 18, 1921, after an illness of several months. His useful life was expressed by his many friends at the funeral Wednesday, Sept. 21, at Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church of which he was a live, hustling member. He leaves to mourn his death, wife, son, mother, father, and five brothers with a host of friends and relatives. The Star extends sympathy to the bereaved, and points them to the Holy Spirit, the comforter of human sorrows. Shall Cry No More.

SEND YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Sept. 30, 1921. FIRST PERPETUATED LAND MARK OF NEGROES. By The Negro Associated Press BUFFALO, N. Y. Sept. 30—The Frederick Douglass Home, in Anacostia, destined to be the great shrine of Colored Americans, as Mt. Vernon, the home of George Washington, is to the country at large, will soon be dedicated, probably with the President of the Un't'd States, as a speaker on the program, according to Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, who is in direct charge of the interests of the home. In a special statement.....directed particularly to the women of the Racet, throut the country, who have assumed the responsibility of complete restoration of the famous estate. Mrs. Talbert says: "The dedication of our Douglass Home will occur the Saturday following the bi-ennial meeting at Richmond, at which time we hope to have the President of the United States and other prominent men and women present. "Contracts have been let for the complete restoration of the home and I have assumed the indebtedness which the contract calls for, believing that the club women will rally in this our last great effort for the complete restoration. "Will every state president have her corresponding secretary or secretary or recording state secretary send to me a complete up to date roster of COLORED COMMERCIAL CLUB, CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, ADVERTISING MEDIUM, ETC. Rev. B. C. Rannalona, Ph. D. 851 F. 3rd St. Wichita, Kansas. In view of the fact that you are my immediate superior officer in Sunday School work, and then too that yesterday a meeting was called to bring together the professional men of which I have the honor to be one both by fact of being a minister and public stenographer, and again due to the great fact that I personally have a keen interest in the general welfare of our race; I feel that you will deem it other than an intrusion for me to write you touching on the subject mentioned above with some minor observations. With the general international sea of trade, commerce and politics so unsettled; Radical revolutionary trend of national affairs; Present economic problems; Hordes of foreigners but awaiting an opportunity to our country; Racial questions more acute than perhaps at any time before in the history of our race; The Compromising attitude of The Republican Party. It is very apparent that the thinking men of our race should organize and exert every legitimate force to awake our people to a keener conception of Racial Patriotism, and especially so in as far as it may relate to the better patronage of our business concerns. The thinker must well appreciate the fact that from an industrial and commercial aspect our race must strive as never before to reach a place in the sun which will at least make it semi-independent. It is not saying too much, I think to say that it is within the line of possibilities while perhaps not a remote probability, that men and women of our race may be called upon to face a state of affairs which will make it a problem for him to find honorable employment. We have before us Russia, Armenia, Our Boston with its sale of white unemployed which of itself, but a philanthropic play yet points to the probabilities of our time. With the establishing of Soup Lines, the Negro must expect ordinarily to be served last. With the lack of positions or jobs to supply the demand in America, The Negro must take the leavings if our own business men are not in position to help the race Mr. H. T. Sims, Editor of The Negro Star, Wichita, Kans. My Dear Brother Sims:— clubs ending August 31, 1921, containing names and addresses of both presidents and secretaries of clubs While this will entail some work upon the secretaries, the greater task falls upon me. "I want every club affiliated with our National to have part in the restoration of the Dougass Home. I am not doing this thing half way, but expect to have every part of the house and grounds restored including the driveway so that our National headquarters may be worthy of us as a great National body. "When you consider that this is the first ggreat effort of any organized body of Negroes to perpetuate any land-mark belonging to a colored person, save the Harriet Tubman Home, we should deeply appreciate what it means. Latrin on I will ask you to send relics in the form of battle flags, slave bills of sale, or anything else that is contributive toward the history of the Negroes in America. We shall have there a Hall of Fame on the walls of which will hang the portraits of farcous men and women. "These pictures will be placed in the Hall of Frame by vote of the National Bi-ennia'. In a word let this be our great National Museum where whites and black may come to study the history of the Negro Race in America." tide over until a brighter day, and they will not be in such position if Negroes do not give them both moral and financial support and this they cannot or will not do if they do not possess a high sense of racial patriotism lacking which they must be aroused through the medium of such organizations as is now being fostered in this city. Some experience as a newspaper man has put me in touch with advertising work as touching our race, and I have had occasion to note its effects and defects. Just a little relations with Colored business men has enabled me to note some of their methods both in their attitudes towards Chambers of Commerce, Commercial Clubs and in their general handling of patronage. Some study devoted to the mercantile development of a race close akin to our race all tend to make me a keen observer of the entire situation. I must say that I am interested in yesterday's movement because I am a citizen of Wichita; a member of the present fostering spirit, the Y. M. C. A., and a minister a leader of my race. I hope the movement every success, and assure you of every possible assistance within the limit of my ability I readily see the wisdom of having the committee from The Y. M. C. A., pay a part in advancing the advertising features suggested, and yet I can appreciate our Rev. Fishback's attitude relative to an unfavorable reaction. Advert'sements may be wholly legitimate from a journalistic point of view which may fall short of measuring up to the high type demanded by the religious impulse of a Christian Organization such as the Y. M. C. A., or our Church Authorities. I was somewhat fearful of such a reaction; however, the proper safeguard was placed by the increase in the number of the committee. Now the question is as to whether or not the committee has not been made "Topheavy." I should think and hope that Efficiency and Ability to council for the best interest of the race will count rather than for of name and personal glory in all deliberations of the committee. It is rather hard to concur with Dr. Jones relative to the matter being regarded from an experimental aspect for two or three weeks, and I ```markdown ``` Equality for Men and Women. BATON ROUGE, LA. Sept. 30 Facing pronounced opposition from the members of the State Legislature, the National Woman's Party opened last week a campaign in Louisiana to obtain the enactment at this session of the legislature of the daw giving total equality to women and men.

Such work should be entered into for a long period in as much as tangible results can hardly be obtained within a short time due to the fact that you have a race to educate up to new trade ideas, etc. Again, it was rather painful to hear expressions made about possible loss of funds through dishonesty of officials. To be true a joke, but a joke that my race is far too willing to accept at more than its face value. As Negroes we must learn to Trust Each Other Until We Are Stung. Betting on the faithfulness of our fellowman until he proves otherwise is a wise racial program. The establishment of a general commercial organization under the auspices of The National body is a very safe and sure plan to assure full protection, etc, yet it is very essential that the larger number of our merchants etc, be in accord with such a movement to assure a substantial organization. Such an organization is valuable in that its scope is unlimited in embracing the various problems with which our race may have to do from time to time. Grasping the idea that the main purpose he'd in view by the committee was the training of our race to a deeper sense of Racial Patriotism; Racial Patronage and General Advertising of the Negro Business Concerns. It is a pleasure to endorse many of the valuable ideas presented by Mr. Creen. Such a plan as he suggested would admit of a house to house campaign conducted by an intelligent corps of young women; the exhibitions of the stocks of our various merchants in connection with some church affair, etc; The proper use of our Colored papers as an advertising medium; A Sunday set aside for general discussion of Racial Pride, Patriotism and Patronage by our ministers; A central office or exhibition room where the ware and advertising matter of our various business and professional men may be found in connection with a general rest room for our women to visit. Such management and office of course to be under the general supervision of an efficient secretary capable of "Delivering the goods." Such a plan will also admit of the establishment of an employment office for our people, indeed a thing that is sadly needed in this city. While it is very true Mr. Greens plan will admit of a wide program yet it would need expert regulating of a wide program yet it would need expert regulating of many details and the hearty co-operation of every respectable Colored agency having to do with the promoting of the beat interests of our race. Allow me to advise again that I for one will watch with a high degree of interest and prayer, the development of the project, and I highly appreciate the fact that you are officially connected with the enterprise which in my judgement assure to it some measure of tangible success. Kindly regard me at your services should occasion arise where'n my puny ability and means could be of any value I am Very truly yours, PRICE, FIVE CENTS THE ENTIRE WEST IS DISAPPOINTED. CHICAGO, ILL. Sept. 30—"Thru' out the entire West, there is great disappointment in the Republican Administration. Everywhere I went the Colored people wanted to know, what is the matter with President Harding? Thus spoke Col. John Marshall, connected with the Illinois prison board, and a former colonel of the famous Illinois Elgth regiment. Col. Marshall had just returned from a tour through the West that took him to the Pacific coast, and all of the principal cities along the coast. To the Associated Negro Press representative he stated that the same condition exists everywhere. "What do you think ought to be done, Colonel?" asked the interviewer. "Every Republican United States Senator should be informed directly of conditions, and urged to take the matter up with President Harding. Then, there should be a national meeting of citizens, and a permanent committee of five from each state should be formed, to make a national political committee, and this committee should work for the establishment of political justice. There can be no winking at present conditions. If the Republican National Administration does not bestir itself and change its policy towards Colored Americans, they will lose three-fourths of the votes in the election of 1922. I can see nothing different." Colonel Marshall on Patronage. "In the matter of patronage, there are no places that could be offered that will satisfy the Colored people if there is not a change of southern policy. Northern citizens, where votes count, are with the South in this matter. Thus far there have been no positions, just jobs offered." Incidentally, Col. Marshall is among those who were offered a "job" in the Agricultural Department, at a salary of $2,500 a year, to which the Colonel replied a very emphatic, but courteous military "No." Defender, Ulysses Independence. In a recent editorial, The Chicago Defender gave as the solution of the present political muddle, the organization of Colorrd voters independently, and voting for individuals rather than parties. Speaking later on the possibility of Attorney General Dougherty being a candidate for U. S. Senator from Ohio, to back the Administration, the Defender says: In Fact, this administration seems to have come to the conclusion that and elimination of the Colored Americans as a political factor must be made accomplished facts in order to build up a Republican party in the South. If the votes of Colored men would be lost to the party as a result of this action, perhaps the administration would not seriously suffer as a result thereof; but it will find, when it is too late, perhaps, that there are many thousands of white people, especially at the North, who will become alienated and driven out of the party as a result of this betrayal and abandonment of the principles and doctrines that have heretofore influenced them in acting with the Republican party. Mr. Dougherty in his candidacy for United States Senator will find this the chief stumbling block in his way. If a vote from him will mean a vote of endorsement of the attitude of the administration upon these vital and important measures he will doubtless find many thousand Republicans, even in Ohio, who will refuse to give a vote that can be thus construed. No Trial Means No Law. (By The Associated Negro Press) COLUMBIA, LA. Sept. 30—Gilmon Holmes, a colored man, arrested last Thursday on a charge of murdering Sidney Manheim, station agent here, was hanged by a mob at 11 o'clock tonight, the body then being riddled with bullets and sat afire. A WISE CRITICISM AGAINST THIS GOVERNMENT. A WISE CRITICISM AGAINST THIS GOVERNMENT. By The Negro Associated Press WASHINGTON, D.C. Sept. 30—The nation's grasshoppers are in for a hard time if Congress enacts a bill introduced by Representative Raker of California, which would authorize $90,000 to eliminate the hoppers. Mr. Raker also proposed appropriations of $50,000 to kill plants poisonous to live stock and $150,000 to destroy insects which kill trees. "All of this is very well," declared a "philosopher of folly," as he was waiting for his street car at the corner of Fourteenth and You Streets, "but what are they doing on the hill to destroy the insects that run rampant into the homes of Colored citizens, and take their occupants out and string them up to trees? I was just wondering," he continued, "whether the congressman desires to save the trees from other insects, so there will be enough trees to go around. "We have a great set of people in this country. They get excited over almost anything but one of the very fundamental things in the constitution of the United States, the protection of life and property. "There is stew upon stew about bootleggers, and thousands of dollars are spent monthly to keep people from getting a little sip, which may be all right enough; and the government, in the twinkling of an eye, can get regiments of troops into West Virginia to stop a miners uprising, but the troubles of Negro citizens are laughed at and brushed aside with an indifferent wave of the hand. "Well," he said finally, "It's a long lane that has no turn!" "Fair enough," stid his auditor, and they separated to get their respective cars. French Gives Medal on Merit. Dr The Negro Associated Press NEWPORT, R. I. Sept. 30—The reconnaissance Francalse, a bronze medal, has been awarded by the French government to Dr. Harriet A. Rice, a colored woman, for her services in French military hospitals during the war. The medal reached her thru the French embassy at Washington. She is a graduate of Wellesley College and of the Woman's Medical College in New York. This distinction demonstrates the magnificent French spirit of awarding all on merit alone. The Conference Brings The Best Brain of the World. (By The Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, D. C. Sept. 30 The Nation's Capital is beginning to thrill with anticipation with reference to the proposed "Conference on Limitation of Armament," which begins here Armistice Day, November 11, and will probably continue for six months. During the Conference, Washington will practically be the "center of the word." There will be gathered here the world's greatest diplomats and political stars. There will be a recreational side, and to look after these matters, a civic Committee of One Hundred has been appointed. A number of our well known citizens have been placed on this Committee. Among them are: Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary-Treasurer of Howard University; Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson proposed Recorder of Deeds; Atty. W. L. Houston, Member of the Board of Education; Rev.

Sept. 30—Charged with shooting at a bill collector during an altercation involving 25c. Daisy Cooke, a Colored woman of 44 Rhodes St., was Tuesday afternoon held in a cell at police headquarters in a default of $100 bond. The arrest was made at the woman's house following charges preferred by the collector, W. G. Waggoner, of College Park. Waggoner stated that in August he sold the woman a bottle of perfume valued at $1.00, and collected 50c. Two weeks ago, he said he collected 25c more, and on Tuesday afternoon had gone to the woman's house to get the remainder. In the argument which resulted, police were told Waggoner threw a brick at the woman. She then seized a pistol and fired at the collector, who thereupon left the house. Waggoner was released on copy of charges alleging disorderly conduct. ```markdown ``` For eleven yas+ the "Ulite!" has served you faithfully.

NEW YORK CITY, Sept. 30—The Nation announces the first American publication of the manifesto of the Fan African Congress in London. Addressed "To the World," the manifesto affirms the absolute equality of races as the foundation of world peace and human advancement. It approves as "the beginning of wisdom" the establishment of political institutions among suppressed peoples, and protests against the commercial exploitations of the Negro "The bodies, minds, and souls of Fiji and Congo," as declared, are judged almost solely by the quotations on the Bourse. The day of such world organization is past and...the twentieth century must come to judge men as men and hot merely as material and labor." The manifesto demands for suppressed races recognition, education, self-government and freedom of culture, and "the ancient common ownership of the land and its natural fruits." The future of Africa, it says, is a choice between complete assimilation by two or three powers with internal racial equality, or "the rise of a great black African State... autonomous and sovereign." The entire text of this stirring document appears in The Nation dated Septtmber 28. Lost Life to Save Horses. (By The Associated Negro Press) SAVANNAH, GA.

Their attorneys are now planning for the Supreme Court for their last chance from legal mob. Talk to the Master. He melts the hearts of stone; help with all your might in every other way. A CITIZEN. A citizen is a person, who has taken on the moral obligation to live under the rules of a government and be a supporter of every law that means tranquility and safety, is our idea gained by the statue of law in the codes of this court. A real citizen wants property, he wants to vote, he wants honorable officers, he wants enterprises to succeed and in fact he has not any time to waste trying to stop progress in any form. He is a person too busy trying to make it himself to stop to worry over the other fellow's shortcomings. He would stop to middle him, but he just haven't the time, then we think of that sweet peace that should reign, he would not. A good citizen is the one who is not putting in more time to see his neighbor's mistakes, than trying to keep from making a mistake himself. He has compassion on his neighbor and will help him up every time he passes him down. He catches his brother and swings back with all moral force, to keep his brother from danger and disgrace. There is a sympathetic strain that makes him help his brother to his feet and says to him: "Up and onward to victory." Persons who have no homes, are the ones, who are not safe and substantiated citizens. He is like a rabbit, let him hear the barking of trouble, and he moves; feeling that he won a great victory. He did, he evaded the barking of trouble, but he left no record of a true citizen. He wants to vote and he ought to vote, but if he hasn't anything real to support, then he is not a real voter and will vote a temporary vote, which means a few do lars personally to him, but if that citizen had property he would vote for the safeguarding of that property and he would get all his neighbors to do likewise. He would be the prime mover to have every one own his own home and business. We are looking and planning for the day when a body of real men will go to the headquarters of each party and get the intention of each party for the progress of civilization and without pay start to educating the voters for the ones who mean to have all men arise. A real citizen will not bribe another for money, to the misfortune to a whole race or a destruction of the true principal of Christian civilization. If you know persons of this type is time to stop them now, and let us get together for betterment of this government. It can't be better'd with the price of our rights in some man's pocket; it will be a one-sided affair only until we turn squarely around and face the issue. We need to prove that we want officers, who are honorable and want the welfare of human beings protected and whatever is his color, let us look for the quality. A real citizen knows that every kind of an enterprise means future opportunities for him and his children and he should fight none, in fact he is too busy, because he wants to be counted in the number of promoters. If this mind is not in you, you are not a citizen, and you will cause trouble everytime you come out of your selfish den. DANFORTH-SCOTT --Redfern Cloak Co.-- 120 N. MAIN STREET.
