THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE ATTORNEY PERRY W. HOWARD SERVES AS SPECIAL ASSISTANT TO U.S. ATTY. PRESIDENT PRAISES THE ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS. ATTORNEY PERRY AS SPECIAL ASSIST (By The Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, ILL. Oct. 7—Perry W. Howard, Special Assistant Attorney General of the United States Government in the cases of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway Company versus The United States. He and the chief council for this company are taking the testimony in those cases at the General Offices of the company at LaSalle Street Station. Mr. Howard is well known in Chicago where he attended literary and law, school's, and where he was one of the directors for the Western Division of Colorid Voters in the recent campaign. When seen by The Associated Negro Press representative and asked with reference to the statement that he was doing "Jim Crow" work, he said, "I have been more amused than paired at the puerile efforts of those who do not know and do not seek to know, to discredit my appointment. It is true that the public press announced that I would represent the Government in "Colored claims' but this is erroneous to begin with. There are no "Colored claims' against the Government except one, and that one is not handled by me. My work is solely that of representing the Government as counsel in the suits PRESIDENT PRAISE NEGRO By The Negro Associated Press CHICAGO, Oct. 7—President Warren G. Harding personally praises the enterprise of The Associated Negro Press in arranging for a special staff of correspondence to cover the great news of the World Conference on Limitation of Armament. In a letter to Nahum Daniel Brascher, President Harding praises the organization of The Associated Negro Press "in keeping the Negro citizenship of the country highly informed." The letter from Presidert Harding says: "The White House Washington, September 26, 1921. "My dear Mr. Brascher: I beg to gratefully acknowledge your letter of September 23, in which you advises me concerning the ar- A ARE YOU AWARE? That a sharp point turns away a broken skin but a sharp word turns away a broken heart? That everything that shines isn't gold?—Beware of smooth talkers. That an empty wagon makes more noise than one loaded? Watch yourself, jest you clamor to be seen and heard upon all occasions. That the fellow who does the most snorting and exhorting, is, usually, the biggest hypocrit? That a friend will come to you with what he has to say about you, and not the other fellow That the problem that now confronts us as a rage is one of seriousness and should have the serious thoughts of the thinking people. That in order to see the gravity of our problem one must deal with the boys and girls Their ambition is to do the frivolous things. That most of those who are just large enough to follow well, clamor to be the leader. Hence not many strong organizations in Wichita. That the night school classes in carpentry and shoemaking will soon --- brought by railroad companies against the Government, from the Pernsylvan's system to the "Yellow Dog" and "Mud Lines" in the Mississippi Delta. The Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway Company is suing the Government in one case alone in the sum of $1,000,000, and I do not think that I am "Jim Crowed" when I have the responsibility to represent the Government in such an important case. "I hold no brief of a political nature for anyone, but in justice to myself and self respect I say here and now, and defy, successfu. contradict that the position which I hold carries with it more responsibility and demands more peculiar fitness than any position which any Colored man has ever held in the United States Government, and I have yet to meet with any indignity or personal experience which smacks of 'J'm Cowing' in the discharge of my official duties If there are those who know of anything to the contrary let them speak out with definite information." Mr. Howard has returned to Washington, ready for the convening of the United States Court of claims in which he has more than 100 cases, the sum total of which is stupendous. rangements made by The Associated Negro Press for a special staff of correspondents during the World Conference on Limitation of Armament. This is a fine thing for you to have done and I am glad the arrangements have been made, _____ painstaking to do a helpful thing in putting aside the burdens of armament, it is important that the people are well informed concerning the actual progress of the Conference. You are clearly doing a good work in keeping the Negro citizenship of the country highly informed and I wish you continued and notable success. Very sincerely. Very Uncertainly, (S'gned) Warren G.

School and School Life as Seen by Our Reporter. ONE of the most inspiring visits of my life, was, Tuesday afternoon, when by chance I dropped in on Prof. F. C. West and his able staff of teachers and pupils at L'Ouverture school 13th and Mosley. First, I stopped for a few moments in Prof. Gordon West's room, 5th grade; found him in geography. Next came a g'ance of Prof. E. M. Barnes and his class of Manual Training, busy in woodcraft; he reported having a class of 85 allotted, taking this course and he makes a model instructor too as well as we all know.

Then entered Miss Rena Wilson's room, one of our new teachers from K. C. Mo., who was surrounded by 40 of the brightest little tots who seemed more than anxious to be taught; they were well disciplined and seemed more mannerly than lots of older grades. This was the Kinder Garten. Also dropped into Mrs. Clora McClure's room where were found 38 bright, cheerful looking pupils in the 2nd A, and 3rd B, busily engaged—a varied routine of studies. We found Miss Ruth Walton's class of 4th B scholars who seemed to be doing well under her tutorship. Then comes Miss Cornelia Strawn with a class of 41 pupils in 4th A and 5th B scholars. This was surely an interesting class. Now, to Miss Edna Schwelsch with 2nd A and 3rd B, respective with 45 scholars allotted. She seems to be doing excellent work with her class. The 1st A and 2nd B under the care of Miss Clara Armstead, seemed very studious. --- REPUBLICAN PARTY ASSURES A FRIENDLINESS TO BEST INTEREST OF THE RACE. Miss Carrie Burney is surely on the job with her 1st grade proper of 46 wide-a-wake busy scholars.

Then came to Miss Laura Rawles with a class of 43 enrolled but numbers of them taking other branches of study. We have Miss Rebecca Martin here, teaching a part of this grade 8th B and 8th A. This is a very intelligent class. Last, but not least, we have Miss Harriet Harper of the 9th Grade in instructing a class of girls in sewing at this visit; she also gives this Class of domestic science instruction every other day.

Senators are Together on Lynching and Ku Klux Klan. WASHINGTON, D. C. Oct. 7—From one of the highest sources in the Republican party, the Associated Negro Press has been assured, in behalf of the Colored Americans, that the Republican organization and the Republican administration are friendly to the best interc. ts of Colored Americans. This assurance comes at a time when Colored Republicans throut the United States have practically lost faith in the sincerity of purpose of the Republican party and the present Administration. From the same high source it is learned that "the historic friendly attitude of the Republican party toward the Colored race has not been changed, and if you will watch the policy of this administration, you will find abundant and conclusive evidence of this fact." Turmoll Everywhere. This information comes at a time when there is turmoil everywhere there are Colored voters. Ohio, the state of President Harding, has developed a state of insurgency that is nothing less than alarming. The coalition and fusion effort is growing in the Buckeye state, and will doubtless manifest itself quite strongly in the fall elections. Even in the city of C'eveland, Ohio, for the first time in the history of the city, the Democratic candidate is making an open bid for Colored voters, and is addressing their meetings. In the state of New Jersey, there is considerable dissatisfaction over the resent political conditions. Isaac II. Nutter is regarded by all of the progressive element of the Race as the real leader of Colored citizens in the state, and he has let it be known in no uncertain terms that he will not tolerate anything but political justice for one and all. United States Senators Express For the purpose of getting right at the bottom of things, and facing the issue with frankness, The Associated Negro Press has taken the matter of political conditions up directly with every Republican United States Senator. 2-Ku Klux Klan. 3.-Henry/ Lincoln Johnson. 4.-Administration policy. The United States Senators were told that, Colored Americans are interested in tariff, taxes, disarmament, and other subjects, as other American citizens, but that there are certain subjects that strike at the vital of American citizenship on which there should be direct information.

INSUFFICIENT FUNDS FAIR WAGES SAFE INVESTMENTS Give Us A New Franchise--Let's Go! You've heard the old song they used to sing in the army about the Old Gray Mare? There were 179 verses, by actual count, of which 178 were printed. And the refrain was to the effect that the Old Gray Mare, who was the heroine of the ballad, was not what she used to be many long years ago. We just want to say that the Old Gray Mare never was in half as bad shape as are the mules pictured above. They've done their best, but it wasn't enough, and now the public is beginning to realize that if its community is going to grow and progress, it will have to begin to co-operate a little more closely with the Electric Light and Power Company, because that growth is dependent upon the extensions which the utility cannot make without new and real money. The truth of the matter is this: All the Kansas Gas and Electric Company does or wishes to do is: --- 1. To pay an adequate rate of return on the money invested in the company. 2. To pay a fair wage to the laborers and salaried employees of the company. 3. To pay promptly for all materials bought. Under the law we are not allowed to make a profit out of which to pay for new equipment or to pay off the bonded indebtedness. Under state regulation, we are limited to a fair rate of return only on that part of our property which is used and useful. However, the time has come when the public is insistently demanding new extensions. The communites are growing, and they want electricity to keep pace with their growth. Yet we can't make those extensions, much as we want to, because we lack funds. We have used up our authorized bond issue, and borrowed large sums on short notes, in our efforts to keep up with the demand. There is only one thing left to do, and that is to re-finance. YOUR CO-OPERATION IS NECESSARY. In "borrowing" money, by selling stocks and bonds, to make extensions to the electric light and power plant of your community, we must say to our prospective investors, who are doctors, lawyers, merchants, and workmen like: "We have the co-operation and friendship of the community in which we operate. YOU are assured a fair rate of return on your money, because the public will treat US fairly." Only on the basis can we obtain the new funds which we need to aid your community in its progress. Be a booster for the community and give the Electric Light and Power Company your support Your Prosperity depends upon our ability to SERVE. Kansas Gas & Electric Co. New Hope Baptist.

Senator Kuute Nelson, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, promises to give the legislation consideration and attention. Senator Frank B. Willis of Ohio, declares that he is absolutely opposed to lynching, and he declared: "I shall favor any reasonable looking toward its prevention." The Senator says he is opposed to the Ku Klux Klan. "Historically and otherwise I think there is no necessity for such an organization in our system of government." Concerning the confirmation of Henry Lincoln Johnson, Senator Willis said: "If there is any objection as to his capability or Integrity, of course, that should be considered without reference to color. If the only objection is that he is a Colored man, I, of course, would not consider any such objection for a moment." Senator McKinley, of Illinois, declares that "I think it an outrage that Henry Lincoln Johnhon has not been confirmed." Senator McKinley says he is heartily in favor of as strong an anti-lynching law as can be made, and is against any such organization as Ku Khux. Senator George H. Moses, of New Hampshire, said that he is in "hearty sympathy" with most of the matters brought to his attention for adjustment. However, concerning the confirmation of Henry Lincoln Johnson, Senator Moses says he cannot "accede." He states: "I do not think Mr. Johnson is sufficiently representative of the best character of the Colored citizens of the United States to warrant his appointment to so important an office." It will be remembered, speaking politically, that Senator Moses was one of the managers for Gen. Leonard Wood, in the campaign of 1920; and Col. Johnson was an avowed supporter of Gov. Lowden, of Illinois. Senator Capper of Kansas. Senator Arthur Capper, of Kansas, on the subject of lynching said: 'Sentiment on that subject is stronger in Congress than ever before. The bill is still before the committee, and it is not likely we will get action on it until the peace treaties, the tax bill and tariff bill have been disposed of. The President is urging immediate action on these measures and it is impossible to make any headway with other measures." Senator Capper gave some very direct information concerning sentiment in Congress on the Ku Klux Klan. He said:— 'The Ku Klux Klan is an abominable institution and the sentiment of Congress is overwhelmingly against it. I doubt whether any further legislation is necessary to handle this problem. My understanding is the Department of Justice is giving it very earnest consideration. Concerning the matter of recognition politically, and the attitude toward the group, Senator Capper, after stating that the action on Col Johnson's confirmation has been delayed because of the absence of Senator Jones, chairman of the Sub-Committee, looking into the charges preferred, said: "I am anxious to see this administration make a good record in the matter of constructive legislation affecting the rights of the Colored people and favorable consideration in the way of recognition for the Colored Race in the public service.

Oct. 7-Within a few weeks the South has changed from a spirit of depression to one of optimism. This change is due to what ordinarily would be regarded as'a great disaster—the failure of the cotton crop.

The publication of the departments estimates has resulted in an increase of the price of cotton from 10 cents to 20 cents.
